“Brother Wanderer what have you been doing the last few days, you’ve been online so little.” ScarletFruit suddenly stopped the conversation in mid-sentence when he saw the newcomer in his team.

Yu Zhen inclined his head to look at Su Mo before asking, “What are we talking about?”

“Talking about making money, Brother Wanderer, did you see the whole service announcement just now, 7 star challenge that’s too good to be true!” ScarletFruit was no longer the same ScarletFruit who was afraid of the 7-star challenge, the first time he saw the 7-star challenge was not to retreat but to think about making money, “10-member group, just the 4 of us, with a ZenSlasher girl, and 5 more bosses, this time the price of the bosses can be doubled a few times, what do you guys think about 1w8 gold? The number is auspicious.”

Su Mo beside him was silent, but Yu Zhen took the initiative to talk to him, “Momo, what do you think?”

Of course SuMo wanted to say yes, but he somehow felt a bit weak, “You decide.”

ScarletFruit saw that the atmosphere between these two people today is a bit strange, asked for half a day and did not come up with a result, “We’ll have to ask around to set the price, if it’s too expensive, we will lower the price, if it’s too cheap, the price will go up, first come first serve, ah, this great achievement on the first pass list, the boss is not that bad money … … …Ouch, the Fruit Gang came to me, big business is coming.”

Mentioning the Fruit Gang, Su Mo suddenly remembered a certain item that he wanted to do last time, “Who approached you?”

“Their guild master Bitter Gourd, every time I see this name I get out of the theater, a whole bunch of fruit guild masters are actually called Bitter Gourd.” ScarletFruit told the other side, “He said he will come over in a while, later we will discuss the price.”

Bitter Gourd also came late, Su Mo looked  at Yu Zhen from time to time to see if the other party had anything to say that he went into the game and  also slowly relaxed. Brother Zhen said so before, that when it comes to the game he’ll not deliberately restrict him to play it, in addition to the two people knowing each other’s offline identity, the other does not seem to be that much different.

“Did you open the box?” Yu Zhen took the initiative to chat.

Su Mo slightly paused, “Opened a spirit pet egg and a weapon, seems okay.”

“Weapons can be upgraded without hurrying, during this period of time quests will become more and more frequent, the chances of materials dropping will become higher, and the price will also come down.” Yu Zhen added, “There is still some time left for the Spirit Pet Egg to hatch, your PvP gold equipment should be ready, your PvE equipment is still stuck at level 75, this time in the secret realm of the departed souls, there is a high probability that PvE level 80 equipment will come out, leave some points for refining.”

Su Mo just wanted to say Brother Zhen, and because there was ScarletFruit present next to him, “…Brother, aren’t you talking about me?”

“The Loader has restrictions, you can go online if you meet the health standards, I won’t talk about you.” Yu Zhen was worried that Su Mo would bring that offline humility up when he knew his identity, and only hesitated to inform before.

He received a message from StarNet shortly after he arrived home, Su Mo might not know that the Celestial Horizon game can be tied to a StarNet account, and from a StarNet account, he can also receive messages sent by his game buddies, so when Su Mo sent that PK, he was the first to receive the message.

“Momo, you don’t need to be restrained.” Yu Zhen said, “But opening a new chapter can be slowed down for two days until you’re in better shape to challenge it.”

Su Mo was stunned at his words and was about to speak when ScarletFruit beside him suddenly interrupted.

“What have you two been whispering about? Have you considered the price?” ScarletFruit walked over, “Bitter Gourd is almost here, he asked how many spots we have over here.”

Yu Zhen added, “Bitter Gourd is very rich.”

Su Mo sniffed, “How rich?”

“Third on the wealth list.” Yu Zhen scratched open the wealth list to show him.

ScarletFruit suddenly reacted, “Brother Wanderer, I forgot if you didn’t say it, the last time we invited Big Brothers to play was more than this price, you’re right, our price is still a bit on the low side.”

Bitter Gourd Mixed with Milk was the guild master of [Fruit Platter], the current ally of Abyss faction Leisure and Polaris Alliance, a warrior who was only online from time to time but still lived in Celestial Horizon legend.

He was ranked fifth in the warrior list, in reality he had a job, the game belonged to the fish play, but even so he could still be steadily ranked fifth in the warrior list, the operation and awareness belonged to the top. Before he was in CloudTraveller’s quest group as a fixed vice T, but this time it is the faction challenge, CloudTraveller’s team then became his opponent.

“Momo and UnchainedWanderer are here too.” Bitter Gourd rode up to the group, he spoke slowly and slovenly, causing most people to always slow down their speech when talking to him without realizing it.

“Hello.” Su Mo.

Bitter Gourd got straight to the point, “ScarletFruit was just telling me that I heard you guys are 3w gold a place is that right?”

Last time it was only Momo’s group that had the right to challenge, and the dungeon tickets only sold for 3000 gold. And this time the mechanism is obviously all players can group challenge, there was no such thing as spending money to buy the opportunity, but now the head of the group is Momo, this person has previously refreshed the guild racing list with a full law lineup of commanders, this spending money to buy tickets, in fact, with the money spent to hire him to be a commander there is not much difference between the price being directly x10.

The price is expensive, but for a big guild like the Fruit Platter, the weekly income from the guild’s premises is tens of thousands of gold, and buying a few spots is no big deal.

Merchant ScarletFruit immediately stepped into the role, “Right, originally, we were going to post 3w gold for a place, but considering that you guys are old customers, we’ll give you a discounted price of 2w8 a place. The numbers are auspicious, what do you think of this?”

Su Mo, “……?”

Yu Zhen didn’t say anything.

Bitter Gourd hesitated slightly and seemed to be thinking, “How many positions?”

ScarletFruit immediately said, “Let’s do it this way, originally we also want to leave some positions to sell on the forum, we have five positions, if you want a package deal, we will let the price be, 2w5 gold a, 5 total 12w5, can not be any cheaper. If you are hesitant, I’ll just sell them to Carefree Alliance, they just had an admin come to me to inquire about it.”

Su Mo was speechless. 

“Good deal, we definitely want 5 spots.” Bitter Gourd obviously didn’t look at the price, what he cared about was how many empty spots there were in this 10-member group, and as soon as he heard that there were 5 spots and a discount, he immediately agreed, “Then we’ll take 5 spots, when are you planning to open? What kind of profession is needed?”

A seven-star challenge was unheard of, and the difficulty was extraordinary.

Su Mo looked at the announcement before saying, “There’s no rush then, we’ll open it in a couple days.”

ScarletFruit, who was already planning to collect the money, “……?”

Bitter Gourd froze for a moment, then saw the silent UnchainedWanderer next to him and laughed, “Young people are so nice and calm.”

ScarletFruit, “????”

Is this a question of composure? There’s more than one person rushing forward!

What if someone gets through first!

“There’s no rush for the choice of professions, read over the dungeon announcement first.” Su Mo re-read the dungeon announcement just now, and realized that besides [Mystic Realm of Departed Souls], there was also a Skywatch Seal. “I remember that the clues of the Skywatch Seal series are level 80 quest clues, right?”

Bitter Gourd said, “Yes, CloudTraveller was in the process of collecting level 80 quest clues when he triggered this Mystic Realm of Departed Souls, and from what we’ve seen so far, its rewards are not only the faction all-player bonus, but also more importantly, the fact that there’s a high possibility that there are clues related to the level 80 quests in this Mystic Realm Challenge. So not only is it about factions, it’s also about level 80 quests, a lot of people have been stuck at level 80 for a very long time, and they’re in a hurry.”

Together with the clues of the Skywatch Seal and the faction rewards, the first to act were Fruit Platter and other big guilds, one of which was about the effect of the faction bonus on the follow-up of their guilds, and the other was about the improvement of their personal attributes after the level 80 quest.

Su Mo thought for a moment and said, “High difficulty is difficult to pass, according to Celestial Horizon’s quest settings, seven-star difficulty in addition to covering other high difficulty mechanisms in the past, it is very likely that we need to make advance preparations. Is it expected that the series of clues of the Skywatch Seal?”

The announcement of the Mystic Realm of Departed Souls after all just came out, for all the players in the whole service everything is unknown, the two major faction guilds’ teams began to prepare for the pass, for a time the heat of the forums of other topics plummeted, the players’ new focus fell on the new Mystic Realm of Departed Souls. The result was that in the afternoon the announcement had just come out, in the evening there were countless players in the first level who died out, level drop! The penalty is 50% of the current level’s experience bar! The gold drop penalty was to deduct 1000 gold! Attribute points are 30 points at a time!

Su Mo received the series of clues for the Skywatch Seal that Yu Zhen had compiled, memorizing the clues one by one before focusing on the known mechanics of the Mystic Realm of Departed Souls.

For example, the special limited mechanism mentioned in the announcement, which could be seen in the opening scroll, included mainly two points.

1.Participating player level must be level 79.

2. Participating players’ professions must not be less than 8.

This mechanism is particularly outrageous, and greatly slows down the progress of the player’s passage. First of all, it’s a level limit, the whole team player’s level must be at level 79, because there will be a penalty for failing the challenge, once this penalty is a level drop penalty, it’s very likely that some members of the team’s level will be dropped directly, that is to say, in the case of everyone’s experience bar close to level 80, the maximum number of times they will fail is only two times.

Once they drop to level 78, the entire group will either have to re-swap their members or level up as a group to level 79 before going back to the challenge.

The other thing is that the participant player profession must not be less than 8.

Because it is a 10-person group, this rule expands the employment of the major profession players, but also limits the high output of the situation. For example, the original team used to match 3 physical swordsmen, this time, if you bring 3 physical swordsmen, the other 7 professions must be completely different, otherwise you can not enter the dungeon.

When this condition came out, some players were happy, some players were worried.

Those who were happy were those who often failed to get tickets to the dungeon, and those who were worried were the big brother players who planned to form a high-output group.

Until the day after the announcement, several teams that had the strongest drive at the beginning also failed to pass the first level.

These two special limitations have actually raised the threshold of participation in the Mystic Realm of Departed Souls. There were a few players who were so excited to start the challenge and died at level 78, so everyone became cautious and had to redeploy their profession.

This made [Mystic Realm of Departed Souls] the slowest quest challenge to pass since Celestial Horizon’s opening.

“Laughing, our Sect’s employment rate is up quite a bit.” ScarletFruit said, “Some of their corps gave up double milk when they wanted double T and double output, then the demand for cleric increased, I didn’t think that our Celestial Horizon second milk would also have a prosperous day.”

ClearWind was a bit sad, “Our Sect is different, there is a lot of unemployment, originally it was a popular profession, good guy, this mechanism comes down, people only need one physical swordsman for a group, and you have to queue up to come in if you want to get into the group. Luckily, I have a regular team.”

Aside from the level 79 rule, profession requirements didn’t limit Su Mo’s team much. There was still some time before the opening of the scroll, and the goal of the whole group was to brush more experience for Commander Momo, who had the lowest experience at level 79, and for this reason, the Fruit Gang had specially allowed a brush point for them to lead the group in.

During the two days, Su Mo, apart from going online to upgrade every day, spent the rest of the time resting and adjusting his body.

Even without Yu Zhen’s advice, he knew that if he went to lead a group after his body had just healed, he would most likely make a mess. Su Mo expected Yu Zhen to ask him too much about his business, but the latter was very comfortable and didn’t interfere with his gaming time or ask too many questions. The two of them seemed to get along in the same way as before, and there was no gap between them because of the many things that had happened.

Dungeon’s opening time was set at eight o’clock in the morning of the next day, and on that very night, the elite members of the Fruit guild saw the work schedule that their own guild master, Bitter Gourd, had posted in the group.

That’s right, it’s a work schedule.

Because the challenge is unknown, in order to improve the efficiency of the members, a certain commander specially delineated a schedule in accordance with the Capital Planet time system, very detailed, fully considering the sleep time and rest time of the members.

Gather at 7:00 am, start at 8:00 am.

Break at 11:00 am.

The tour starts again at 03:00 pm and rests at 06:00 pm.

Evening 07:00 pm opening, 11:00 rest.

Bitter Gourd finished posting and said in the group, “Well, that’s about it, if you want to participate look for me to sign up, places are limited.”

The guild members were speechless. The group was silent for a while, when suddenly a very positive reply broke the peace.

FireworksAndLanterns , “I’ll sign up, I’ll sign up! Give me a chance, guild master look at me!”

Bittermelon is very pleased, “Everyone learn more from Little Firework, sign up enthusiastically, if no one signs up, let’s manage the top spot on our side.”

Watermelon, “……!!!”

Bitter Gourd quickly sends Su Mo the configuration of their 5-man team, Warrior [Milk Mixed with Bitter Gourd], Assassin [WhatAHugeWatermelon], Magical Swordsman [Apple], Summoner [FireworksAndLanterns], and Healer [Yellow Peach Sauce].

The 10-man group repeating profession is summoner with assassin. The repetition is a bit different.

Author’s note: Watermelon: The greatest suffering is when people don’t know my suffering.

FireworksAndLanterns: I finally got a chance to make an appearance.
