After the event officially begins, all players will receive a dumpling bag. A type of ingredient required for making dumplings will be randomly produced every 10 minutes (eight types in total):]

The ingredients required to make sweet dumplings were bean paste, candied fruit, fragrant glutinous rice, and glutinous bamboo leaves.

The ingredients required to make the salty rice dumpling were fresh meat, five-spice powder, fine glutinous rice, and Reed leaves.

[Official hint: good health during the Dragon Boat Festival. All players will have a good time during the event!]

……

The players had been looking forward to this event for a long time. When they saw the official announcement, all the players were extremely excited.

Before the event even started, the players were already discussing it on the forum. They even started a battle for the ‘sweet’ and ‘salty’ of the dumplings.

Suikataro: “I’m confused. Are there sweet and salty zongzi?” Weren’t they all salty?

The strongest Xue Li replied to suikataro,[I’m going to smash your head. Zongzi are sweet. All salty zongzi are heresy.]

Master Bao kemeng replied to strongest Xue Li,”I’ll smash your head with a backhand too. Salty zongzi is the heretic. Sweet zongzi is number one in the universe!

Peppa the wild boar replied to master bokomeng: I’m going to smash your head with my fist. The salty zongzi is the best!

Syria player: “what’s there to fight about? once the event is high, whoever wins will be the boss. I can eat it anyway (funny)”

[Invincible loneliness: collecting soul coins. I think it’s time to make a fortune. Let’s bet on the Dragon Boat Race. One wave of heaven, one wave of hell.]

Little Ming: “the event is about to start. Are there any teams that are short of people? please form a team. I’m looking for a strong dragon boat team!”

Wind Walker: “I’m a dragon Boat rider in real life. Do you have any legs for me? I’m a lone wolf (arrogant face with a bronze face)”

Crayon Shinchan: “it’s Another Happy Day. The dog official website is holding another event. I’m so happy.”(Funny)

……

While the players were discussing, the event officially started at eight in the morning.

[District-wide announcement: the Dragon Boat Festival has officially begun. The dragon boat racing event has begun!]

At this moment, players were everywhere on the lapis lazuli shore.

Upon hearing the game notification, all the players were extremely excited. They gathered together and charged towards underworld.

Since the first event required players to kill monsters to obtain the materials, the area with the most monsters was underworld as compared to the ocean. This was because a large number of nine glory Army soldiers were stationed there.

Thus, taking advantage of the event’s opening, the players who had regathered began to group up and push towards underworld, ready to get a huge wave of event materials.

Moreover, the first event would last for an entire day, so it didn’t matter even if they died once, so the players were fearless.

Without the nine radiance brothers knowing, the player calamity had descended once again.

In this battle, the players were no longer as weak as before. Tempted by the event rewards, every one of them was incomparably fierce. Even the ninedust brothers stationed in underworld were caught off guard.

In the eyes of the players, the soldiers of the nine glory Army were the material parts to build the Dragon Boat. The more they killed, the more materials they would have, and the more options they would have to assemble the Dragon Boat. How could they not be excited?

All the players had died once in the morning.

In return, the players also received a large number of Dragon Boat parts.

At noon, the lapis lazuli Coast was once again filled with people.

The players formed small teams and started to study the assembly of the Dragon Boat.

At this moment, on the glazed beach, the eight-man team led by Gu Yu was testing the performance of the assembled Dragon Boat.

This time, due to the fact that the players were not familiar with the Dragon Boat, Lu Wu only prepared the finished parts. He didn’t need the players to build it, they just had to assemble it.

However, the special feature of this event was the assembly method of the Dragon Boat.

All parts had four main attribute bonuses: Speed bonus, defense bonus, HP bonus, attack bonus

However, the most important thing was the prefix of the parts. Different prefix of the parts could be matched with different special Dragon Boat exclusive skills during assembly.

For example, the Dragon Boat that Gu Yu and the others were assembling.

The Dragon head, dragon bones, and tail rudder were all parts of the Dragon Boat that were prefixed with ‘Gale’.

This activated the prefix special effect of [strong wind 3/3], and the Dragon Boat formed received a passive bonus of 30% speed.

However, other than the wind, the equipment also had a special effect:

Storm (3/3), roar (3/3), fly (6/6), silence (9/9), death (special effect Part 1/1), King Kong (3/3), Roushan (4/4), and so on …

There were many ways to match them. Every Dragon Boat material had a prefix, and only when a certain number of parts with the same prefix were assembled would the prefix special effect be activated and be added to the Dragon Boat.

To assemble a Dragon Boat, 13 parts were required. In other words, a Dragon Boat could be equipped with at least two special effects.

As such, the players had a wide variety of choices, and the various combinations dazzled the eyes of the players, so they could only try them one by one.

Among them, the parts that could activate special effects as long as it was (1/1) became the godly parts of the Dragon Boat that players were after.

This was because the special effect parts did not need to be paired with each other. When assembled, they would come with a special effect skill, such as ‘death’,’God bless’,’Nirvana’, and so on.

If all the Dragon boats were made up of special effect parts, the Dragon Boat would have 13 special effect skills.

Of course, this was only an ideal situation.

Since the parts of a party could not be traded, players could only use the parts of their own party. Therefore, it was important to find the best combination to achieve the best effect.

At this moment, Gu Yu and the others were distressed about how to match these Dragon Boat parts and assemble a Dragon Boat with powerful special effects and attributes.

At this moment, they had more than 100 parts of the Dragon Boat in their hands. There were many ways to choose from, but the problem was how to assemble it.

The only three parts that they were sure of were the (3/3) wind. This special effect added speed, which would be very helpful for the Dragon Boat Race. However, it was a problem to choose the other 10 parts.

The members all expressed their own opinions, and everyone had different suggestions.

“Boss, why don’t we choose the (9/9) silence, and then randomly choose a defensive component. Now that we have the strong wind, we won’t be slow. Our weakest point is our defense, because there are items that interfere with each other in the competition, so I think that silence will at least protect us!” Gou ‘Zi opened his mouth.

“Don ‘t! Doggie, don’t mess around. Silence requires (9/9). It’s such a waste. We can create two more special effects, such as (4/4) Rozan,(4/4) Bramble,(2/2) slow, and then add our Gale (3/3). That way, we’ll have four special effects. That’ll be perfect!” The Guild members standing beside him hurriedly objected.

“Having more special effects doesn’t mean it’s powerful. There’s a reason why silent disaster needs nine parts.” Gou ‘Zi retorted with a serious face.

“Why don’t we go and fight some more monsters? There’s still time anyway, so it’ll be perfect if you can get a special effect part. If you can get it, it’ll be perfect for silence. If you can’t get it, then you can choose the combination of the four special effects!” At this moment, Gu Yu spoke.

“F * ck, I’m rich!” At this moment, a cry of surprise came from the distance. Gu Yu and the others immediately turned their heads and saw a man rushing over with a smile on his face.

He strode over to Chen Ziyu and the others from the Dalong society, who were also assembling the parts, and then took out a golden part from his space.

[Golden Dragon-dragon head-attack]:

[Part description: the Dragon head part used to assemble the Dragon Boat. Special effect part!]

Golden Dragon (passive)(1/1): Summons a Golden Dragon to buff all dragon boats. Increases speed, defense, health, and collision damage by 10%.

“F * ck! It’s a special effect item!” The young paparazzo’s eyes widened when he saw the Dragon head.

“Hahaha, Gou ‘Zi, are you envious?” At this moment, Wang Da mang took the parts and waved them at the dog.

“Boss, we also want special effect parts!” At that moment, Gou ‘Zi’s eyes turned red.
