Chapter 498 Fickle Forum
Whether it was the general forum or main city’s forum, every discussion seemed to be related to the faction dungeon.
The first was the opening of the faction dungeon which caused many Light Faction players to feel exuberant. The two big factions were divided to face each other. Even though they weren’t made to fight to their death, the benefits of the faction dungeon were extremely impressive. One dungeon alone could pull apart the difference between the two factions.
Secondly, it was regarding the difficulty of the dungeon. To ensure that the players die a horrible death, the game designers had worked really hard. Without mentioning others, the very first stage’s formation of monsters was tricky enough to kill many squads.
This was even before the scheming Ape King and the magic purification which were two extremely tricky stages.
The system recorded the data for today. Almost 200 squads attempted the dungeon but only 20 squads completed it. Out of the 200 squads, only three completed the hidden stage. In fact, there was only one team who achieved 100% completion level.
Wang Yu knew that this one squad was his own squad.
These were all top experts above level 30. With that many experts not being able to complete the dungeon, it proved how difficult the faction dungeon truly was.
Among the 200 squads, those who were able to rise above the rest were naturally the cream of the crop. Even though everyone didn’t know the specific details of these squads, many people were still worshiping them. As for the squad who achieved 100%, they were almost worshiped as gods.
After looking at the comments in the forum, Wang Yu suddenly felt that he was indeed pretty impressive. However, he recognised the fact that it might not be easy for Lone Vagrant Guest, a fella who was not even level 30 yet, to lead a group of fellas to complete the dungeon. But why was Lone Vagrant Guest able to start on the dungeon? This made Wang Yu pondered for a long while before concluding that he could possibly do many things with the kind of wealth he possessed.
Because of how popular the faction dungeon became and how difficult it was to complete it, everyone started talking about how they should fight, how to deal with the system’s schemes.
Wang Yu was bored so he casually scrolled through the comments. He found out that the ideas suggested by the various gamers on how to fight or complete the dungeon were all pretty interesting.
Wang Yu had to admit that while there were many rubbish ideas on the forum, there were a few talented individuals with brilliant ideas hidden among the crowd.
As for the third stage, players who hadn’t personally gone through it would naturally not know how to complete it. Even those who had completed it or those who had found a way to complete it wouldn’t let the whole world know about it. After all, strategies at this point in time were extremely valuable. Therefore, those with the strategies would hold it close to themselves or value it extremely high.
Wang Yu had a few good laughs for a few pages and the last few pages were mostly curses and nothing interesting. Hence, he returned to the general forum to check out the novice’s guide to find out more about mounting. At this moment, an eye-catching post caught Wang Yu’s attention.
"An unexpected appearance 110% completion level. Gamer rises 5 levels to become the game’s number one expert. Strategy available!"
F*ck! Who is this!
Looking at this post, Wang Yu was slightly startled.
110% completion level was something only the Quan Zhen Sect and part of the Apocalypse people knew. The only ones who achieved the 110% completion level rewards were the 12 of them. The members of the Apocalypse would definitely not do something like that especially Nine Solitary Spears who was devastated at the end. Could it be the Quan Zhen Sect? This is possible... These people are not low-key at all.
As Wang Yu got curious, he clicked on the forum post.
This was a data analysis post. Firstly, the person depicted the first person experience going through the dungeon. Next, he analysed the data for 100% completion. He even explained the use of the dungeon completion points. Lastly, he used the fact that there were level 35-40 players to extrapolate that the team completed at least 110% completion level.
This was the perfect example of how a tossed stone raises a thousand ripples.
Everyone heard about the insane difficulty of the dungeon. The majority of teams were still struggling to figure out how to complete the first stage. Only 20 out of the 200 teams managed to do so. However, one team didn’t just perfect the entire dungeon, they even achieved 110% completion level. What was this post trying to imply?
"Inside staff?" Everyone started to suspect this.
"Rubbish!" The rest of the players online had their own opinions.
Following that, the next few replies kept all those who suspected quiet.
"Indeed, a level 40 expert really did appear in Twilight City today. I was at the dungeon entrance when he came out."
"Who is it? He isn’t an inside staff right?" Everyone started questioning.
"I think his name is Iron Bull! From the Quan Zhen Sect..."
"Oh, that bunch of despicable trash..."
The internet was very different from reality. In reality, some hot topics could be spoken or discussed a few times over a long period of time. However, there was hot news almost every day on the internet. Those who were popular, unless they had die-hard fans, would be quickly forgotten by everyone. Iron Bull was not an old ID so not many people would have the name engrave in one’s memory.
"Iron Bull? Could it be the Great God Iron Bull?"
The moment they saw this ID, some players from Twilight City started appearing. To others, Iron Bull might be of the past but to the die-hard gamers of Twilight City, he was a god-like existence.
"Great God Iron Bull? Is he very famous?"
"Of course! He can take on one hundred men all by himself. He is the number one expert in this game! You newbies know nothing at all!"
"Haha! Number one expert? Stop showing off! Can he defeat Nian Liuyun?"
"Liu your head! What is Nian Liuyun? Can Nian Liuyun achieve 110% completion level of this dungeon? That kind of rubbish can only be fit to hang Great God Iron Bull’s socks!"
"F*ck! Fight me if you’re not happy ah! Which city are you trash from? Come to xx City now! You have no balls if you don’t!"
...
The argument got worse as it turned from a post to a thousand-mile fight. Presently, Wang Yu was also speechless as he wiped the sweat off his forehead. He closed the post and went off to see other things.
When he clicked on the novice’s guide on mounts, curses and abuses were found all over the forum. Those sending those curses were all Pugilists. Fortunately, not many people visited this page so after looking through a few pages, he finally found a few useful posts.
One of the discussion forum named "Does it mean that we, Pugilists, are really meant to fall behind other jobs?" made Wang Yu extremely interested.
