Chapter 165: Chapter 165: Altar Ceremony of Heaven (Extra 700 Monthly Tickets)

Translator: 549690339

The situation in the yard was already set, even Gu Cheng had come in, his eyes intentionally or unintentionally looking at Li Yao’s direction.

Now, Li Yao had become a thorn in his side, mysteriously obtaining the mech test qualification he had pursued for so long.

He didn’t care about points, Angel’s Wing, or anything. He had money, whatever equipment he wanted, he would buy.

His goal from the beginning was clear-cut, to suppress Li Yao in the game, to make him accomplish nothing, and thus indirectly affect his test qualification.

If Li Yao is down and out in the game, the company will definitely consider replacing him.

As a figure with background connections, he knew deeply the importance of this new model mech.

“Now, what backup do you have?” Gu Cheng said indifferently.

“It’s just two losses, no big deal, is it really worth planning so methodically?” Li Yao said, rather speechless.

Even now he didn’t understand. You said you didn’t want points, what are you playing at? This is too insidious, join forces with players just to boost your ego at the end.

“Ignorant fellow.” Gu Cheng was about to organize players for an offensive when suddenly all the players received a system notification.

“System: Altar Ceremony of Heaven countdown has started, all players ranked in the top thousand in points can defend the altar.”

“System: Altar Ceremony of Heaven: Occupying the priest position can continually gain points.”

“System: Challenge rules, there are three priest positions. The main priest position can gain 2 points per second and the two auxiliary priest positions can gain 1 point per second. Occupying the priest position requires accepting challenges from the top hundred players, the more points you have, the higher the challenge priority.”

Following that, all players’ HUDs showed a 10-minute countdown, and the location of the altar was also shown on the map.

All the players got excited. With a spot in the top thousand, you have a chance to skyrocket in points on the altar, especially in the main priest position, which gives two points a second. That’s skyrocketing in points compared to what Li Yao got after working for half the day, plus there’s still about an hour left of the game.

Rushing over there, the real altar action should start in about forty minutes. The temptation is just too great, any player in the top thousand, regardless of which altar they occupy, could potentially skyrocket to the top hundred, or even the first position.

Not to mention other players, but even the players who survived the huge fight in the yard, quite a few of them had scores within a thousand because of frantically grinding mobs, those players all had excited expressions, seeing hope for climbing into the top hundred in points.

Gu Cheng’s face turned very ugly in an instant, he hadn’t expected this kind of incident to occur.

Immediately, with a thought, he said in a loud voice: “The altar will start in ten minutes, we’re not far from the altar. Now Prairie Fire has no other means, if we don’t take advantage of this opportunity to kill him and get Angel’s Wing, we won’t have another chance.”

“You play your game well, you incite others to attack me for your personal grudge against me, you’re really earnest.” Li Yao said.

“Haha, see? He’s scared now, are you going to do something? The Angel’s Wing is right in front of us, why would we give up our efforts? Ten minutes is more than enough to kill him off.” Gu Cheng continued.

The players who had been hesitating suddenly snapped out of it. That’s right, things had already come to this point, they had driven the other side into a corner, giving up now would make everything they had done worthless.

“Reform the formation, attack the hall, they won’t have much mana left.”

With Gu Cheng’s words, the loose formation regrouped, another big fight was about to ensue.

“I’m waiting here for you guys just to grind points, now I’ve got enough points, wouldn’t it be nice if we just go our separate ways? You guys are really forcing me. Then I won’t be polite.” Li Yao looked indifferently at Gu Cheng and said, “I was planning to leave, but Gu Cheng insists on keeping me here, naturally I can’t just sit here and wait to be killed, afterward, don’t blame me for any losses you suffer.”

“Don’t listen to his nonsense, there aren’t even any monsters here, what can he possibly do?”

Gu Cheng also said loudly.

“What can I do? Please look over there.” Li Yao pointed in the direction of the city wall.

All the players present were looking at the position of the city wall, just to see a few silver skeleton elites loading a round cannon shell into a large-caliber cannon.

A skeleton lit with flames was lighting the fuse, the elite players had bewildered expressions on their faces.

They had no concept of the firepower of a cannon, but just imagining it, they absolutely knew it was not small.

Now it was already too late for Gu Cheng to say anything, everyone began looking for cover to hide from the incoming fire.

But it was clearly too late, with a roar, a huge fireball spewed out of the cannon bore.

The fireball was like a meteor, trailing a tail of flames as it flew in a beautiful arc and then fell to the ground under the somewhat frightened and puzzled eyes of the players.

Two unfortunate players were directly crushed to death, and a large hole appeared on the ground.

“Hahaha, so this is your threat to us…”

Boom…

Gu Cheng had not finished laughing when he was startled into silence by a huge explosion, and then saw a pattern erupt in a burst of light, a ring of fire shockwave, carrying rocks and dirt rapidly spreading.

In just an instant, a quarter of the yard was covered by the fire shockwave, large flashes of light blinked, and in a moment, hundreds of players were killed off by the shockwave instantly.

It was as if the entire ground was shaking. The place after the explosion was unrecognizable, forming a huge meteor-like crater.

Before the players could react, they heard Li Yao say, “Sanctuary, the ancient Black Sea Cannon, dating back four thousand years. The ammunition is special, a unique secret recipe, now lost in time, and as you see, the craftsmanship is excellent. The blast radius, not a blade of grass growing within a hundred yards. Five cannon shells can cover the entire yard, would you like to try it?”

“Are you threatening us?” Gu Cheng got up from a crouch, dusted off his body, and said.

“Yes, I am threatening you, what will you do about it? If it weren’t for the fact that I don’t get points for blowing you up with a cannon, could you still be here trying to threaten me?” Li Yao coldly scanned the surviving players and said, “I ask you guys again, do we go our separate ways or do you want to experience four more cannon shells?”

The elite players seeing the skeletons on the city wall hoisting up cannon shells again, their faces instantly went pale.

They were all experts, not afraid of fighting to the death with others. It’s a game, at worst, they die, what’s the big deal.

But the problem lies in the fact that a death like this would be worthless. Plus, there’s an altar tempting them, with the expectation of entering the top hundred, who would be willing to just die out of nowhere.

“Prairie Fire, don’t be impulsive, it’s better to part ways on good terms.”

“Right, right, part ways in peace, the altar event will start soon, why don’t you go ahead, Prairie Fire?”

At this moment, they wanted nothing more than to tear Li Yao to pieces, but for the sake of points, they reluctantly backed down, though they were seething, this was far from over…
