The Boss Behind The Game

Actually, the appearance of the new content was something that had been pre-determined by Lu Wu and Bei Li.

However, this was also activated as a last resort.

Lu Wu noticed that Hu He was smashing the coffin.

However, Lu Wu’s policy was to never interfere and allow the players to act freely. Even though he was gritting his teeth hard as he watched, he held his urge in and let them be.

However, in Lu Wu’s opinion, the brutality of the Evil Yin Soldiers had its pros and cons.

One of the advantages was that there would be an increase in creatures for the players to level up with. After all, each time an Evil Yin Soldier was killed, players could collect both experience points and soul coins.

With the huge influx of players, the overall speed of leveling up had decreased. Since they were unable to expand the maps, there was a serious lack of creatures to be farmed in the Land of Beiqi.

This was especially so for the Ghost Mountains. Every day, there were at least a million players trying to level up there. With the appearance of the Evil Yin Soldiers, this problem could be solved.

However, the disadvantage was that the Land of Beiqi would probably be invaded on all fronts.

These Evil Yin Soldiers were extremely powerful. Even if they were not as terrifying as the Sea King or the Rock Ghost King, it would be an uphill task for the current players to defend against their oncoming attacks.

In order to solve this problem, Bei Li found some design drawings in the equipment depot, and created some molds of items that could help defend against the Evil Yin Soldiers. Then, he placed these in the shop to help the players.

However, Lu Wu was not worried about the current situation of the players. After all, this was a matter for the entire Land of Beiqi, not merely the players. For example, the Rock Ghost King, the Nine-Headed Snake King, and the other factions of Beiqi might be invaded, too. The burden of invasion was shared equally.

At the same time, in order to quickly resolve this threat, Lu Wu specially announced three missions to increase the competitiveness of the players.

[Main Quest: Protectors of the Homeland]:

Quest Requirements: Defend the Mansion of the Dead and prevent it from being invaded by the Evil Yin Soldiers. (Universal Mission)

Quest Period: Until the end of the Evil Apocalypse.

Quest Rewards: Blue Title (Protectors of the Homeland), Reward: 20 Soul Coins

[Side Quest: Evil Butcher]:

Quest Requirements: Kill Evil Yin Soldiers (0/10), Evil Zombie Spirits (0/5), Evil Ferocious Ghosts (0/1)

Quest Rewards: One mahogany house

Point Accumulation Quest: Evil Natural Enemies

Quest Requirements: Form a small party (minimum 10 players), hunt and kill monsters of Evil Ferocious Ghost rank and above. The reward is additional points.

Quest Requirements Part 2: All parties that participate in this point accumulation quest can register their names at the Mansion of the Dead. Parties that have been formed cannot be disbanded during the quest period. The kills of monsters of Evil Ferocious Ghost rank and above, from each member of the party, can be included in the party’s total points. Finally, parties that rank in the top 3,000 will be given special rewards.

Top 3,000 Parties Quest Rewards: Red Title (Evil Natural Enemies), 1,000 Soul Coins (per party)

Top 10 parties on the server will be given additional special rewards: Special Door Gods (Drawing Force)

The appearance of these three quests immediately piqued the enthusiasm of the players. Some players that were already at the Mansion of the Dead began to publicly advertise for members to form parties, in preparation to hunt and kill the evil spirits.

With the new invasion, items such as the mahogany houses and talismans became hot-selling items in the shop and their stock was replenished in great amounts.

However, after some thought, Lu Wu added another setting.

In the safety zone at the center of the Mansion of the Dead, players were prohibited from building mahogany houses. However, Lu Wu did not implement the rule in the wild. After all, when hunting and killing, players would use up their physical energy and needed safe zones for short breaks. Thus, these mahogany houses would act as shelters.

The area of the evil spirit’s invasion was extremely large. After the Yin Soul Eye was shattered, the entire Land of Beiqi was filled with wandering souls. Large numbers of Evil Yin Soldiers were running rampant and countless spirits were completely destroyed.

Many players in the wild had no idea what had happened. Some were even killed by the spirits falling down from the sky, causing them to disconnect from the game.

The entire forum began to fill with activity, it could be said that the disaster that Hu He created greatly angered all the players.

Hu He instantly became the server’s most wanted person. Some rich players even issued posts with rewards of soul coins, stating that they would reward anyone that killed Hu He once and presented a picture proof.

……

The root of the problem, Hu He and Little Sha were squatting together inside a hole in the burial grounds.

“It’s over, it’s over, we’re done for, I’ve made a huge miatake,” Little Sha hugged his chubby head, as he squatted on the ground crying.

He thought of how this quest was issued by the King of Beiqi, and how each of the great factions of Beiqi had vowed to supervise him.

However, this matter was ruined now, so this meant that he was about to be chased after by all the factions in Beiqi.

When he thought of this, Little Sha felt that he would die for sure.

Hu He was looking at all the posts on the forum. They were filled with sinister and murderous intent, causing him to look terrified as he mumbled, “It’s all over!”

On this treasure-hunting trip, not only was he unable to obtain Hiderigami, but he had also become the nation’s enemy. This made him extremely aggrieved.

After mulling it over, he opened a post and weakly tried to reply with one sentence.

“I didn’t do it on purpose. (Crying)”

Immediately, there was an influx of comments below it.

“What a fellow, tell us your address. See if I don’t kill you a hundred times! You dare to cause trouble, but you don’t have the guts to stomach the consequences?”

“The main character has finally appeared, that’s wonderful. Hurry up and come to the Mansion of the Dead, we have gathered an army of over a million people to welcome you. Come here quickly (Slight smile)”

“Where are you right now? Tell me quickly, I will never reveal it. Quickly direct message me to coordinate, brother. All of them want to kill you, only I want to protect you (honest and sincere gaze)”

“Brother, your actions are really excellent. The entire server has to clean up your mess! How amazing! Give you a perfect score!”

“I’ve sharpened the knife, the only thing left is you. Brother, come home, I don’t believe that you won’t return to the Mansion of the Dead. Have you seen the latest quests, especially the Party Quest, you can only obtain it from the steward of the Mansion of the Dead (Smile)”

“After discussing it, everyone has decided to kill you into submission. Doesn’t that make you happy! Aren’t you amazed! Aren’t you surprised!”

……

Looking at the replies from all the players, Hu He’s eyes filled with tears as he hurriedly closed the forum. He was worried that he would drown himself in his own saliva.

It was certain that he had become an unforgivable target. What could he do now? This game did not allow the players to change usernames, nor could one delete and re-register. He was utterly doomed.

One had become the common enemy for all players, while one had become the common enemy of all the factions of Beiqi. They would surely have to live in fear and constantly hide in the future. The thought of it made them feel extremely miserable, and they could not help but wail bitterly.

Meanwhile, the looming catastrophe also awakened the 3,000 Ghost Commanders who were deeply buried beneath the palace in Nightmare City.

They breached the palace, levitated into the air, and came together in midair to make a gigantic black Hexagram Formation.

When they noticed the arrival of the Ghost Commander Army, large amounts of evil spirits began to float upward and rushed at them with bloodthirst.

“Open!”

At this moment, one of the Ghost Commanders’ leaders shouted a command. Then, a ray of blinding light immediately beamed from the formation, as 3,000 Ghost Commanders flew from it at full speed.

No matter how strong the spirits in their path were, they were no match for the Ghost Commanders’ formation. It forcefully broke a pathway through them, before increasing its speed and disappearing from the Nightmare Zone, as it moved toward the Cliffs of Desperation.

In a blink of an eye, the black Hexagon Formation appeared at its destination, rapidly landed next to a wooden house at the mountainside.

Noticing the disruption outside the house, a white-haired old man drunkenly opened the door and peered outside. Suddenly, he realized that 3,000 Ghost Commanders were neatly lined in rows before him.

“What are you doing?” the white-haired old man was a little confused.

“Your Majesty, the evil spirits are causing an apocalypse. Hence, we have been awakened, do you wish to battle?”

“It’s none of your business! Go back to sleep!”

The white-haired old man swept his gaze across the ranks of the Ghost Commander army, rolling his eyes as he reprimanded them. Then, the wooden door slammed shut with a bang, leaving an army of wide-eyed and thunderstruck Ghost Commanders behind him.
