Chapter 151: The 7th Tier Server Exploration Craze
Chapter 151: The 7th Tier Server Exploration Craze
"It looks calm, but..."
Qin Muye looked at his territory. He could clearly see some elemental clumps, which were not normal elements but corrupted ones by the Ancient Gods. After drifting into his territory, they were decayed and assimilated by the Red Prison elements, eventually forming clumps.
"I have a feeling this time it might really be an apocalyptic disaster," Qin Muye's expression was somewhat peculiar.
Firstly, the records about the Ancient Gods were sparse, mentioned only in fragments in the books acquired by various factions. The deities seemed to know something but kept it to themselves, deeply wary of the subject.
"These Ancient Gods seem very powerful. They can even revive and return from death. The 6th tier world can't bear it; only the 7th tier can."
"However, the 7th tier seems quite challenging."
He glanced at the leaderboard. Currently, no one had broken through to the 7th tier, which confirmed the difficulty.
【1st Place: Zhenlong Tianzi, Territory: Holy Dragon's Nest, Overall Strength: 6th Tier Champion】
【2nd Place: Jiangmo Jushi, Territory: Sinful Temple, Overall Strength: 6th Tier Champion】
【3rd Place: Wang Junzi, Territory: Underworld Shrine, Overall Strength: 6th Tier Champion】
【4th Place: Qingyun Hunter, Territory: Monster Maze, Overall Strength: 6th Tier Champion】
【5th Place: Feiyun, Territory: Wisdom Oak, Overall Strength: 5th Tier Champion】
【6th Place: , Territory: Mage Tower, Overall Strength: 4th Tier Champion】
He ranked last, with Feiyun, the 5th tier champion, above him. However, from the intelligence he had gathered, Feiyun seemed to be a puppet of the natives. Behind him stood the Wisdom Tree and various alien races, whose strength was likely restricted; otherwise, he would also be a 6th tier champion.
As for Qingyun Hunter, it was said that he was a hunter by origin and survived in the underground world through sheer determination, living among monsters.
Currently, all the lords of the entire Magic Continent were in this situation. The others had all died in the previous campaign against Jiang Tianjun.
Whether Jiang Tianjun was dead or had fled, Qin Muye wasn't sure, and neither were the natives. Probably only the other five lords knew.
Given the current situation, no one seemed interested in causing trouble; most were focused on exploration.
Zhenlong Tianzi didn't care about Qin Muye's minor offenses and had no thoughts of revenge. Exploration was a race where a single step ahead led to more steps ahead, and he had competitors to consider.
Qin Muye had indeed offended him before, but despite his domineering nature, he wasn't irrational or petty. He had the capacity to forgive, otherwise he wouldn't have become so powerful.
Although he was annoyed by Qin Muye's attitude, the weapons Qin Muye sold were truly effective, so he had to ignore it. In the face of profit, a bit of annoyance was worth enduring.
The area and resources of the entire Magic Continent had increased a hundredfold, and no one had the time or inclination to cause trouble for Qin Muye. Instead, his arms business boomed again.
Exploration definitely required weapons. They could make them themselves, but buying from Qin Muye was much more cost-effective.
Qin Muye's various follow-up services were tailored for the natives. For the lords, items could be directly placed in their inventory, requiring no maintenance or upkeep.
Standard firearms and grenades were highly effective, low-cost, and saved a lot of trouble.
Regarding the long-term event of the Ancient Gods' revival, everyone was initially on high alert for two days. However, nothing happened—no signs of the Ancient Gods' minions or their influence. So, they naturally turned their attention to exploration and expanding their territories, which were crucial for the lords.
Qin Muye, as usual, remained inactive. He believed in not overreaching; he hadn't even fully mastered the Red Wind Plain. There was no need to rush into competing.
However, exploration was a good thing. Other lords and natives would gain a lot, and he could further expand his arms business.
He had dispatched his two top generals, Mob Xue and Yexu, to the Horrifying Universe, leading 30,000 elite monsters to conquer various hells.
There was no rush to upgrade his 5th tier territory; at least he needed to complete his title mission first. Otherwise, the longer he waited, the harder it would become.
On the contrary, his advancement mission needed to be prioritized. Otherwise, once the event officially broke out, he would have no time to tackle the dungeons.
Now, it seems that the revival of the Ancient Gods is a gradual process, likely related to what is known as the "corruption level" of the Ancient Gods.
At least, once the corruption reaches a certain degree, the Ancient Gods' minions and relics will appear. Right now is the best time to complete the mission. By clearing the corruption, not only can he earn a large amount of points, but he can also prevent the revival of the Ancient Gods.
However, this is something Qin Muye can't handle alone. Others probably don't want to solve it either. Compared to the additional points and special materials gained from clearing the corruption, other lords likely prefer to explore the Ancient Gods' relics and kill their minions.
"Black Hand, have White Dove investigate the surroundings. The corrupted elements drifting in indicate that there are definitely some remnants of the Ancient Gods nearby," Qin Muye instructed.
If it were not near his territory, Qin Muye would have considered letting it be, as he also prefers the Ancient Gods' minions and relics over clearing the corruption.
But if it's near his territory, he can't afford to ignore it. This hidden danger must be dealt with as soon as possible.
"Once you find it, don't handle it. Wait for me."
Qin Muye thought for a moment and decided he had to take care of it personally. Who knows what the corruption level is like.
His impression of the Ancient Gods is still based on the unfortunate Divine Sprout, whom he suspects was an Ancient God in its early stages. It hadn't grown enough to pose a threat before Qin Muye dealt with it.
Admittedly, the Divine Sprout's profession was incredibly powerful. Even compared to the Archon, the Divine Sprout's profession was superior.
At level 9, its abilities were virtually bug-like.
Qin Muye was quite envious.
Unfortunately, it was a menace, otherwise, he would have kept it, given its symbiotic potential.
"Yes, Master, but are you sure you want to go out?" Black Hand hesitated and then said, "It's too dangerous. Why not just use the Crimson Hell to eliminate it?"
Qin Muye rolled his eyes, "Don't be ridiculous. I want to study the power of the Ancient Gods."
Since the Magic Continent was upgraded to a 7th Tier Server, Qin Muye noticed that the subsequent radiation time of the Crimson Hell seemed to have shortened by about one percent. This might be due to the world's properties.
No one else knew about this, but due to the Magic Continent's upgrade, the elements and magical energy became more concentrated. This increased the lethality of the Crimson series of weapons and reduced their production costs.
It was a piece of good news, at least.
In addition to the Crimson series of weapons, biological weapons were also in high demand. The native inhabitants needed manpower for exploration, and the most popular model was the Tyrant. The Nemesis was too expensive, and the other models also sold well.
Qin Muye owed a lot to the flesh knowledge in the Gospel of Blood. Without it, mass production would have been much more challenging.
"Alright, this needs to be resolved quickly. We don't want an Ancient God minion to pop up and cause trouble," Qin Muye told Black Hand to handle it promptly.
Qin Muye wasn't sure what the Ancient God minions were like, but they were definitely not good news. It was best to deal with them as soon as possible.
"Also, I plan to take the Hyper-Space Teleportation Channel to a dungeon. The Labyrinth Lock probably won't be needed for now. Inform the goblins to wait in the supply warehouse. We might bring back some good loot," Qin Muye said.
"Yes, I will arrange it immediately," Black Hand's expression changed. This was preparation for exploring a new world, and the Hyper-Space Teleportation Channel would be used to record coordinates, similar to the Horrifying Universe.
After Black Hand left, Qin Muye sighed. He hated randomness.
"I hope it's a normal dungeon. Don't randomly send me to a story dungeon."
He hated story dungeons because he aimed for S-rank and above. Story dungeons tested acting and psychological skills, which were significant challenges for him.
Dungeons like the Horrifying Universe were more suitable for him, as they had fewer restrictions, allowing him to fully leverage his strengths.
After all, he often played the protagonist in dungeons, which wasn't a problem in itself. The issue was that he didn't have the protagonist's aura. Without it, the protagonist was unlikely to fight against the heavens and the earth. Instead, he was more likely to be killed by a small thug in a gutter or die without a trace from an unknown area-of-effect spell.
