Chapter 819 – New Superstars

An item that drops upon death, coordinates that would be announced regularly.

The dropping mechanism of the Satellite City Token meant that this would definitely be a cruel battle.

Along with the second Imperial City Notification, the nine lucky stars would appear in the city, stunned as they looked at the tokens in their hand.

But these lucky stars were not truly lucky as slaughter awaited them.

The moment the killing started, it would not stop.

Some people died to swords the moment they obtained the token, some tried their best to hide, and some were extremely confident; they thought that this was their destiny.

The moment the token appeared, it changed hands several times. How was this token a treasure? It was an unlucky item, something that got whoever held it in deep trouble.

To make matters worse, the token could not be passed to others or dropped. It must either be stabbed into the meeting hall or dropped upon death.

Gaia created this setting to prevent players from passing the token around. The coordinates would refresh every 10 minutes, so if one acted smoothly, they could in fact pass the token all the way to the Satellite City.

Another reason would be to prevent idiots from throwing the token into rivers, drains, or even off the cliff.

There were even some special landscapes that would make such a situation a disaster.

At the start, the token changed hands between small groups and the killing was limited to around ten people. When the token entered the hands of the mid and large-sized guilds, it led to a wild and chaotic fight between guilds. The killing was like a snowball, rolling bigger and bigger.

More and more players were dragged into this battle.

Some players could not help but throw themselves in, starting fights. The Satellite City was just too tempting, causing players to lose their rationality.

Even some mid-sized guilds who knew that they did not have the strength to keep the token still tried to grab it.

‘If we do not take a gamble, how would we know we cannot do it? What if it works?’ The players had such a mentality.

The killing spread and the killing intent gathered and slowly affected the minds of the players.

As time went on, the battlefield slowly shifted from the imperial city out toward the Satellite City.

As the massacre continued, some of the players had killed till their eyes turned red.

At first, the goal of players was to obtain the token. However, as it went on, it became killing for the sake of killing. The goal of killing had enveloped their minds.

Seeing your comrades get killed, you had to take revenge, right?

Loved being killed, can you take that?

Guild members being killed, aren’t you supposed to fight for your face?

Various reasons and conflicts gave birth to more killing.

The desire for killing between players had never been as strong as today. It was like pouring oil onto a fire, getting stronger and stronger, burning away at their minds.

The only thing they saw was killing.

The desire to kill hidden deep within them was like a hidden beast released, allowing them to do whatever it wanted.

Maybe this was a charm of the game.

Killing in the game did not have any legal implications, especially in the midst of a mission where there no red name markers. Hence, the constables of the imperial cities would not find problems with you and you would not need to go to jail.

Hence, when the players fought, they grew even more fearless.

To some PK maniacs, this was a killing feast.

Only one thing remained certain – no matter how the token changed hands, it would still return to the large guilds in the end as only they had the power to keep it.

On this day, the wilderness was not the main character. The nine imperial cities were the focus of the whole world.

After the Imperial City Notification, Ouyang Shuo did not go anywhere, just sitting in the reading room and focusing on the battle situation. The nine imperial cities all had posts on the forums to follow the situation.

This wait lasted for an entire morning, and there still was not a result.

After 3 PM, the nine tokens basically ended up in the hands of the large guilds. Next, the guilds needed to use all their strength to protect the token to the Satellite City.

The other guilds naturally would not let them do that easily.

The players calculated it perfectly. Even if they could not stop them, they would harm them now so as to reduce their defensive strength later on.

The target guild would pretty much leave a trail of blood and bodies in its wake.

The top guilds naturally were not fools, and they would not reveal their strength on the first day. At such a time, the usefulness of allies was revealed. The allies blocked on the outside while the guild members remained inside.

As the sky turned darker, the intensity of the killing grew.

The players were certain that at night, when it was pitch black, it would be really difficult. The guild could arrange people to secretly cross the walls and enter the Satellite City.

Hence, at night, the first stage of the Satellite City battle would pretty much come to an end.

Based on the current situation, no dark horses had appeared.

Amongst them, some were strangely calm and peaceful. Amongst which included Xianyang and Chang An, where 18 Horseman of Yanyun and Jin Yi Wei pretty much did not face any resistance.

The number of allies that supported them was truly unexpected.

No one expected these two guilds to possess such influence. Based on the current situation, these two guilds would basically take down their respective satellite cities in the end.

Apart from that, Streamer in Quanzhou, Chengdu’s Laojun Temple, and Tingyu Floor in Luoyang, these three ‘ally’ guilds did not face much resistance.

Ouyang Shuo instantly knew that there was something going on.

On the contrary, it was the two strongest guilds in China, Blood Evil Mercenary Group and Snow-War Rose Mercenary Group, who faced an exceptional amount of resistance.

Some allies suddenly betrayed them and started attacking them.

Luckily, the two guilds were strong, and they were prepared. As such, the situation was still under their control.

The worse one was Qingfeng Pavilion in Dali.

Last night, their guild leader was captured, so it obviously affected their morale. To make matters worse, more than 70% of the guilds participated in the assault against them.

Although they managed to defend the token, they had still suffered heavy losses.

Based on such calculations, it would be extremely difficult for them to defend the city.

Jingdu was not peaceful either.

It was not surprising that Jianqi Zongheng would ally with Star Alliance against Shadow Alliance and Yimeng Pavillion. However, the weird part was that they had a lot of other supporters.

The two sides that were originally neck and neck suddenly had the scales turned against them. The Jingdu Satellite City Token was currently in the hands of Jianqi Zongheng.

As night fell, the first stage of the Satellite City battle was pretty much over. The nine large guilds all activated the city.

The gathering crowd slowly dispersed.

The forums were still really busy, discussing the huge battle in the day. Even if one was not the main character of the event, the players still felt their blood boil.

This kind of large-scale player PK was different from army battles as both sides were composed of players. Naturally, it was crueler and more exciting.

The adrenaline of the players shot up high. In real life, everyone was in an era of peace, so how could one taste such blood boiling battles?

Amidst these battles, many superstars were born. Their fearless Pking and their endless killing allowed them to win all their battles and lead their troops to fight.

These superstars were valued highly by the guilds, and they were promoted and given rewards. They instantly became the star of adventure gamemode players and the idol of numerous players.

Based on some information, some guilds had been attracted by these superstars and wanted to recruit them. The moment this news went public, the fame of these people skyrocketed to another level.

Ouyang Shuo felt that there was an invisible hand pushing and packaging these superstars. He even found out that all of them basically came from the Yanhuang Alliance camp.

Using this chance to build up a bunch of superstars was to increase the fame of Yanhuang Alliance. Were there the children from hidden aristocratic families amongst them?

They used this chance to reveal themselves to the world, becoming famous instantly and providing themselves with a springboard.

“What an ingenious idea.”

Ouyang Shuo felt more and more impressed by his opponents.

Heroes were worshiped and chased while the numerous players who died and revived were ignored. They were like a bunch of failures, slowly watching the superstars rise and becoming the stepping stone of others.

The wilderness was just so cruel, cruel without a single bit of humanity.

Some people gave up and decided to change to work occupation, but some did not want to give up and wanted to take another gamble.

For the latter, the various dojos and sects released in the imperial cities were a good choice. They were starting from scratch and walking onto a different path.

Hence, this battle would surprisingly make sects more popular.

In less than an hour, the data from the forums were released.

When the players saw the news, they could not help but take in a cold breath.

In just a day, the nine imperial cities had over a million dead.

One must know that the ones that died were all combat occupation players. Considering this, the ratio was really shocking, like 1 in 20 were dead.
