Chapter 66 Which Power Has More Progress?

What was the value of a set of beginner level silver equipment?

In the City of Dawn, it was around 100 gold coins.

After Fatty asked around and realized the value of Mithril, he felt as if he had struck gold.

The number of spectators at the live stream increased by 666. For a while, many people drooled as they waited to come to the casino and earn a fortune.

But to the City of Dawn, Mithril did not cost anything. To build a set of beginner level silver equipment, not much Mithril was required. Only two or three pieces were needed. No matter the price of, whether it was one or was 100 gold coins, it was all profit anyway.

Furthermore, it was not that Angry Fatty had terrific luck.

It was that both the small and the large wheels of fortune had recently cheated many NPCs. Very few people played them. But when the attendants saw that newcomers had come to the casino, they would manipulate the wheel, allowing the newcomers to walk away with a silver sword…

How should it be said?

Secret operations were common in every casino. In particular, his lord would be able to earn money. The attendant definitely did not mind.

Angry Fatty had finally run out of money. He had less than 10 silver coins left in his pocket. But his run on the small wheel of fortune had attracted many professionals. The attendant happily received the new customers and continued to cheat them of their money.

William had set out with 2000 soldiers. His objective was not someone else, but the Tauren tribe, whom he had set eyes upon, since a long time ago.

Keeping in line with his policy of peaceful communications and working together, he had sent many diplomats to attempt talks. The diplomats would negotiate and attempt to make the Taurens submit themselves to him through peaceful means.

It was a pity that this group of people, always wearing masks, were too stubborn. Rather than eating grass in the fields, why not dig up ores?

“Ahem! Weak nations have no diplomatic relations. Today, we will show those crude Taurens our prowess!” William shouted while riding his horse.

All 2000 soldiers roared in unison!

Ever since half a year ago, in the name of territorial threat, William had destroyed many non-human tribes.

But at the same time, he had also established friendly relations with many tribes, such as the Winged tribe which had over 500 thousand people. William had decisively chosen to make relations and opened trade routes.

Now, they were about to fight the 3000-man strong Tauren tribe. The reason being they had occupied the territory of the City of Dawn. Thus, they were marching to battle.

Of course, William would not say anything. He just wanted them to dig for ores…

But he had to put up appearances.

“This is not a long journey. There is no need for too many troops to transport rations. Each person only needs to carry four to five days’ worth of food. It will allow us to advance more quickly. If there are no space-time treasures yet, we will wait for the game Beta, when the two nations go to war. Then, the range will be widened.” William picked his eyebrows as he continued on the ride.

The army had reached the bottom of the cliff. A majority of the troops traveled in the flourishing fields. If they were not on their horses, they would not have been able to differentiate between the directions.

The large army with 2000 people scared many animals and magical beasts. As they passed by a few small rivers, signs of mermen life were seen, but no mermen could be found.

It was very obvious.

This group had escaped a long time ago. Even though they had the numbers, they did not want to face these human troops full of murderous intent.

While William was advancing with his army,

The 1000 players with 12-day internal test cards entered the small towns, country towns, and even large cities.

The place where they had ended up was randomized.

The only thing they could decide on their own was their place of birth after the Beta. The game would also give the NPCs a dream-like notification.

What about now?

All of them were considered stowaways…

Many players had gathered together and started to cause trouble.

For example, some aristocrats did not like the players and wanted to turn them into slaves. Of course, the players were unwilling. After a ‘great war’ took place, the players, after being defeated, turned into white light and disappeared. They would then revive in a nearby city. When the aristocrats encountered them once again, they became shocked. They thought that the players were deities.

Hence,

A wide-scale pursuit for the players occurred.

After all, they could revive.

NPCs would definitely become very curious about this.

Other than those aristocrats, many warlocks and mages were also working behind the scenes to capture the players.

As for when this situation would subside,

The game was still in Beta. The NPCs would only calm down once the players arrived in this world as people who had chosen their own identity.

But towards these players, jealousy had sparked in the hearts of many NPCs. A few warlocks even wanted to catch and conduct experiments on them.

One player treated this as their secret mission and endured multiple experiments. He gained many attributes and even endowments.

Some players decided to commit suicide. They could not bear the torture anymore.

After all, this was a diverse world. Anything could happen. Reality was always more exotic than that in novels!

“Clearly, in a game like Gods, experience is very important. Not only will it allow your character to level up, but your skills will also gain levels. During the Beta period, if you want your character to level up, your skill level will definitely fall behind and vice versa. For now, there is no definite way to determine the pros and cons of leveling either one first.

“But, I’ve made some calculations. Every time you gain five levels, you will need to level up your skills. If not, your attacks will not keep up to standard and fall behind.” As a skilled news anchor for ‘Come and Bite Me If You Disagree’, he was able to discover a few problems through his talent even without leveling up.

Of course, he had to explain some rather useless things in detail.

No matter whether he was right or wrong, or whether his information was accurate or not, there would always be people who licked his boots or lash out at him.

If he spoke blindly, he would be done for!

He was currently in the palace of the Iron Nation. The public order here was rather decent. As a foreign professional, he had easily obtained the qualifications for citizenship after going through checks. He had even managed to change his status to a mage successfully.

But it was very obvious.

Almost all of the players were stuck at finding missions.

The world of Gods was seen as another realistic world.

Not many village heads would appear for you to earn experience. Monsters would also not endlessly appear for one to obtain experience conveniently.

Well, other than the mermen.

Did the players want to do missions?

Sure!

They had roamed wildly along the streets and searched for missions everywhere, the dumbest method.

Only those who went to the mercenary guild and obtained the status of mercenary soldiers would be able to accept missions with rewards.

If they didn’t want to do that, they could join an organisation and carry out missions with NPCs.

William knew that before the game Beta was established, there were very few missions. Only when the game Beta started and the two nations went to war, the number of missions would explode.

But luckily, since the Iron Nation and the Black Lava Nation were about to go to war, many missions to collect fur from animals, ores, herbs, and so on were issued. The city walls were also filled with notices for recruiting blacksmiths.

These were the missions that many players encountered.

Ordinary people would not pay attention to missions asking to collect fur.

But to new players, this was normal, right?

Would new players be able to do something dangerous?

They could not unsheathe their swords and deliver human heads, right?

All games had missions like these.

But the train of thought in ‘Come and Bite Me If You Disagree’ was exaggerated.

The anchor had not collected much information. He had instead tried to grasp the essence of these missions after receiving three of them.

After that, he checked a few houses and saw that other news anchors were doing similar missions. He even saw garrison troops at the boundaries, as well as grand soldier recruitment drives.

Gradually!

The anchor realized something.

“The Iron Nation and the Black Lava Nation have to go to war. After all, the storyline missions cannot be too minor in scope. It is like the missions in the magical world of version 1.0. It has to be war. As for the City of Dawn…” He started to talk to himself.

A wave of comments flashed on the screen.

“Stop explaining. Can you go to the City of Dawn, News Anchor? If not, I will go and see Fatty myself…”

“I don’t care what war is happening. Just go and show us the streets of the City of Dawn.”

“Damn. Look at the living environment in the human nations, then look at the City of Dawn. What a stark difference. For a traveling player like me, City of Dawn is definitely the place to go.”

All these comments,

It only showed that a portion of players was fond of the City of Dawn.

Some warlike guilds planned to enter the human nation, where the war was likely to occur.

Let’s put the rest aside for now.

The game Beta would definitely have storyline missions.

No matter whether the storyline missions would include war, for the guilds, it was better to reside in nations with bigger territories than cities. The upper limit for leveling up was also higher there. Some guilds, in particular, were very ambitious. They hoped to be able to obtain a large piece of land and build a town or trade union themselves.

But soon…

Fatty realized a piece of information that was difficult for many players to accept…
