Chapter 519: Rank 8 Server · Shining Universe
Chapter 519: Rank 8 Server · Shining Universe
[You have used a server transfer voucher to switch servers]
[You have entered the Rank 8, 4567th Server: Shining Universe]
[Notice: After the server transfer, your Lord Template is: Magic Continent, and it cannot be changed to the Lord Template: Shining Universe]
[Updating your rankings and store...]
Qin Muye almost swore out loud. How did he end up in a Rank 8 server? He had been in Rank 7 servers twice in a row and thought he would be randomly assigned to another Rank 7 server this time.
He was hoping to dominate the lower ranks, but instead, he found himself in a same-rank arena.
According to the peculiar nature of Lord Genesis, a Rank 8 server definitely has a hidden Rank 9 player, and the top-tier players are at Rank 8, while Rank 7 players have become mid-tier.
"I don't know if I've been exposed. Even with the corresponding technical protection, this isn't a Rank 7 server."
Qin Muye glanced at the area he was in, and it wasn't on land but in space. In other words, the planets in front of him were similar to his Endless Abyss.
In other words, there was no way to dominate the lower ranks, and he couldn't even flip the table.
"I can only continue selling military equipment, sigh~" The inability to dominate the lower ranks troubled Qin Muye.
"Let me float around in space for now and see if there are any other lords in this Shining Universe."
Qin Muye perceived the situation of this universe, and it was vast, so vast that his perception couldn't even detect the borders.
This was the difference between Rank 7 and Rank 8. Fortunately, he wasn't randomly assigned to a Rank 9 server, or he would have truly become a small force.
[1st Place: , Territory: Endless Abyss, Comprehensive Strength: Rank 7 Champion]
[2nd Place: Zhen Long Tianzi, Territory: Ten Thousand Dragon Land, Comprehensive Strength: Rank 7 Champion]
[3rd Place: Tai Shang Zhenren, Territory: Cloud Palace, Comprehensive Strength: Rank 7 Champion]
[4th Place: Tianmo Shen, Territory: Chaos Kingdom, Comprehensive Strength: Rank 7 Champion]
"Damn, I ran into an old acquaintance. I didn't expect Zhen Long Tianzi to be so unlucky, directly thrown into a Rank 8 server."
"Admittedly, this guy is quite capable, reaching Rank 7."
Qin Muye, of course, knew how difficult it was to reach Rank 7. These official lords not only needed to complete the territory's advancement tasks but also the lord's advancement tasks.
"However, I actually ranked first, which is quite unexpected." He hadn't really anticipated this.
He also vaguely guessed why Zhen Long Tianzi wasn't as dominant as before. As the ranks advanced, whether it was talent or territory, there was no longer a decisive factor.
Like now, his Endless Abyss, although rated as a Rank 7 champion in Lord Genesis, wasn't actually that strong. Because Lord Genesis didn't count him together, only the territory's comprehensive strength was considered.
Qin Muye couldn't believe Zhen Long Tianzi could fully equip his troops with Rank 7 elite units and all heroes with epic-level professions, let alone the two pieces of divine artifacts for each troop and hero and a set of personal divine artifacts.
These things were just the basics in Qin Muye's territory. He had to devour worlds and plunder resources to support these elites, something Zhen Long Tianzi and others absolutely couldn't match his ferocity.
Even Qin Muye speculated that he might have become the top lord, not out of arrogance, but out of necessity.
As for others jumping out of the Lord Genesis framework, he thought it was unlikely.
Even if there were, they probably died during the beginner phase.
Because the higher the rank, the less likely to abandon the convenience of Lord Genesis. At Rank 3, he could endure the pain; at Rank 5, he could bear the strain; at Rank 6, he was extremely weak, let alone at Rank 7, to completely abandon the convenience of Lord Genesis would make him a piece of meat.
If not for Qin Muye's poor starting talent, he wouldn't have to work so hard. Wouldn't it be more enjoyable to just coast through life?
He didn't even have his 15 minutes of rest every day now, working 24/7 like the skeleton troops, multitasking with multiple threads, even 007 work mode wasn't as tiring as his.
Even the monsters at least had holidays, he truly didn't.
Although he was stronger than other lords, he was more exhausted than them. If he were to transfer this workload to Zhen Long Tianzi, Qin Muye was certain he would die within three days.
"Let's see if there are any events to participate in." Qin Muye's initial joy at ranking first quickly dissipated as he thought about his workload and working hours.
You reap what you sow. Although he had a cheat, it was one he had created himself.
[Long-term Event: Cosmic Pioneers]
[The Star Empire, the Holy Sects, the Hall of All Beings. Every faction with an 8th Rank powerhouse shines with its own brilliance in the universe. Mechanical, psychic, and supernatural systems intertwine within all civilizations, but all prosperous regions are already claimed. Either expand into the borders of the universe, the gaps between dimensions, or destroy these powerful interstellar civilizations.]
[This event will award points through exploration and the destruction of factions, and will continue until the destruction of the server: Shining Universe.]
[After the event begins, killing supernaturals will result in a 100% chance of dropping a treasure chest, the quality of which depends on the strength of the slain individual.]
[After the event begins, expanding your influence will periodically grant additional points, special materials, special treasure chests, and special rewards.]
This long-term event does not feature a competitive leaderboard or ranking rewards. The Points Shop will provide unique exchange items, which will be regularly updated and reset.
"..."
"A long-term event that lasts indefinitely, unless the server blows up. I can’t help but feel this event is subtly mocking me."
Qin Muye complained. He was certain that the conditions for advancing territories for other lords were not as absurd as swallowing an 8th Rank server.
The conditions for advancing territories varied, not only in resources but also in subsidiary conditions.
"It must be a delusion. This server has been running for much longer than I've been here." Qin Muye opened the Point Shop, and all the limited-quantity items were marked as sold out, indicating they had been snapped up by the remaining three players. He would have to wait for the next restock.
Qin Muye had quite a few options for exchange, but they were all items that could be redeemed repeatedly, such as building blueprints, treasures, items, and class change vouchers.
"The prices have increased, but thankfully, I still have plenty of points."
Qin Muye was a top-ranked player in the Gods' Nation game, earning a substantial amount of points through his impressive kills. These points could be exchanged for various rewards in the game's shop, ensuring he always had a surplus.
"Supernatural beings, psychics, and mechanics—three unique systems. Damn, this seems familiar."
"Fortunately, this world doesn’t have subspace... wait, they call it dimensions. Fortunately, there are no four major crises, otherwise, I would have suspected this server is a copy of the Sorcerer Dynasty server."
Qin Muye complained, noting that this server was clearly much more robust than the Sorcerer Dynasty server.
Supernatural beings are gene-based extraordinary individuals, psychics are similar to cultivators or mages with entry barriers, and mechanics are more accessible, requiring no innate talent or barriers, though the main drawbacks are knowledge monopolies and high costs.
From the information in the class change vouchers, these three systems were not entirely distinct but rather intersected.
For example, a supernatural being who awakened a metal-based ability and practiced magnetic psychic techniques could eventually become a mechanic. As long as they were not stupid and joined a normal faction, they would definitely be cultivated into a powerful supernatural being.
Or a psychic might also be a mechanic, creating their own equipment, or a supernatural being might integrate psychic treasures into their body, all of which were perfectly feasible.
In short, this universe was full of oddities and strong individuals. What might seem like a mediocre and stupid person to you could one day discover a strange combination and soar to great heights.
"Given the current situation, I need to find a civilization to gather intelligence. Otherwise, the information from these class change vouchers might be outdated by many years."
"I probably haven’t been exposed yet. Otherwise, even if no one comes to me, there would be some noticeable attention."
"Better to lie low. The most likely exposure would come from the remaining three lords."
"However, they would need to find me first."
