Chapter 274 This batch of players is too difficult to manage!
Chen You's gaze fell on the slowly burning Tongtian Jade Incense Stick, and his mind raced with calculations.
The time it takes for an incense stick to burn...
This incense stick is ten meters high.
It might burn forever.
This money was well spent!
The last bit of resentment Chen You had accumulated from being tricked by the NPCs vanished at this moment.
Instead, there is the ecstatic joy of about to reap a massive amount of experience.
Just as he was figuring out how to find the best spot to safely AFK farm monsters, Meng De beside him made a move.
The Lord of Thousand Light City, who had just been kneeling on the ground because of his ancestor's rebuke, suddenly stood up.
The grief and despair on his face vanished, replaced by a resolute determination and a sense of responsibility as the lord of the city.
"Our ancestors have fallen into evil ways; the glory of continuing the lineage with our blood and flesh is not worth having!"
Meng De's voice was powerful and resonant, echoing in the eerie wind: "I, Meng De, as the Lord of Thousand Light City, swear to live and die with Thousand Light City!"
He whirled around, looking at the city lord's guards behind him who were already terrified but still stubbornly resisting their rout, and shouted sternly:
"Pass on my order! The entire city is placed on high alert! All city guards, return to your posts immediately and hold the city walls!"
"Sound the alarm and notify all residents to evacuate to the inner city!"
"Yes!" The captain of the guards snapped to attention and loudly agreed, immediately organizing his men to prepare to return to the city to relay the order.
After arranging everything, Meng De turned to Chen You and the countless players around him, bowed deeply to everyone, and spoke earnestly.
"Fellow warriors of the supernatural! The calamity of the undead is imminent, and Thousand Light City is in imminent danger! On behalf of Thousand Light City, I implore you all to lend us a hand, retreat to the city walls, and join us in defending against the invaders!"
Almost the instant he finished speaking, a bright red system panel with dynamic flame effects popped up in front of all players in the Thousand Light City area.
The world event "The Wrath of the Ancestors" has begun in the Thousand Light City region!
[Mission Description: The guardian pact of Thousand Light City has been broken, and the gates to the Netherworld have opened at the Tomb of Thousand Lights.]
An endless horde of the undead will assault Thousand Light City. Protect this city, protect the innocent lives—you are the last line of defense!
[Mission Objective: Defend Thousand Light City from falling to the undead.]
[Mission Rewards: Massive experience points and Thousand Light City reputation. The higher your personal kill contribution, the richer the rewards!]
……
Holy crap!!
"A world event! It really is a world event!"
"Massive experience points! Brothers, we're rich!!"
"You Shen is awesome (voice cracks)!! This isn't a monster siege, this is You Shen giving us our year-end bonus!"
After a brief silence, the area in front of the tomb erupted in chaos.
All the players' eyes were bloodshot, their breathing rapid, and their faces were filled with greed and fanaticism.
In this sea of fervor, a "wise" voice soon rang out.
A warrior player with the ID "Po Luo Kou" shouted at Meng De in a gruff voice, "Lord City Lord, why are you retreating? There are so many of us, are we afraid of those little skeletons?"
He slammed his fist on the ground, making a dull thud, and raised his arms in a shout.
"Brothers, let's keep watch right here at the tomb entrance! If one comes out, we'll kill it; if two come out, we'll slaughter both!"
"Blocking the door and killing enemies is the fastest way to gain experience!"
These words instantly ignited the little schemes in the hearts of all the players.
Yup!
If we retreat back to the city, the monsters will scatter. How much will we get?
But here, at this only exit, lies a source of first-hand resources where all monsters spawn!
The front row holds the line while the back row deals damage. Isn't that a million times better than defending the city?
"That's right! Block the door and kill!"
"Anyone who backs down is a coward! Fortune favors the bold, and today I'm going to keep grinding here until the end of time!"
"With the God of the Parade here, what are we afraid of! God of the Parade, just say the word, and we'll agree to go or not!"
Countless gazes instantly focused on Chen You once again.
Looking at this group of "eccentrics" who were completely disobedient and even somewhat insane, Meng De frowned, opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.
However, his NPC logic clearly cannot comprehend the players' "risk-nothing-for-money" mentality.
Finally, he glanced at Chen You one last time, and seeing that Chen You still looked calm and detached, he said nothing more.
He can only follow the system settings.
"Mr. You, the city's defenses are in dire need of attention, and I must return immediately to take charge."
Meng De bowed to Chen You again, his tone extremely solemn, "The safety of Qianguang City is entrusted to you!"
After saying that, he ignored the players who were clamoring to block the door, and with Cai Wenjuan, Meng Xiao and a group of guards, he got into the car he had come in without looking back.
Meng Xiao turned back with a worried look, "Godfather..."
Chen You didn't seem to hear him, whether he genuinely didn't or was just pretending, because he didn't respond.
Amidst the chaos, the NPC army of Qianguang City sped towards the city.
The adventurers made way for him, and quite a few spat at Mengde's back.
"That coward! He actually ran away!"
"Don't be afraid, there are enough of us!"
"Hey! Bro, don't push!"
"Excuse me, I need to pee, could you please let me through?"
"No way, why are you riding on my head?!"
……
Many adventurers at the back of the crowd quickly figured out the key point and began to move forward stealthily.
If it gets too late, you might not even get a sip of soup!
"Godfather! Don't worry! With us here, not even a fly can get out!"
The chosen one-eyed giant, Meng Huo, was now fawning over Chen You, clapping his large, fan-like hands so hard they made his breastplate clang loudly.
Chen You: "..."
What godfather?! Who do you think you are, bro?!
Chen You stared at Meng Huo expressionlessly, his heart completely unmoved, and he even felt a slight urge to strike him with his sword.
He wasn't feeling well.
No, it feels really bad.
Looking at the sea of black heads in front of him, and listening to the frenzied shouts of "Block the door and kill!", "Skill until you die!", and "God of the game, carry us!", he felt like his head was about to explode.
He had only wanted to enjoy this experiential feast quietly by himself.
But now, they are already surrounded.
How much experience points will be diluted if I compete with these locusts for monsters?
More importantly, with so many people and so many players, monsters and players are constantly intermingling, and swords and spears have no eyes.
If you accidentally hit a player and trigger a PvP check, causing them to lose their precious newbie protection period, you'll be at a huge loss.
Chen You raised his eyelids and glanced around.
Everyone's face was filled with the eagerness to "make us rich quickly".
He even saw several professional players on the outskirts who had already set up stalls to sell potions and scrolls.
The booth also had a sign that read "Designated Supplier for World Events, Enjoy 20% Off for Fans of the Tour."
This can't go on any longer.
He slowly extended one finger.
"Everyone, listen to me."
