Chapter 58: Chapter 57 Dongchen State
Translator: 549690339
After the public beta test of the game, he had been following the game forum, but since there were too many posts, he had not read them carefully and had little understanding of the current situation of other players in the game.
“It’s just the four guys who are extremely lucky.” Wang Chong’s eyes showed envy.
“Most players start in places that seem to be controlled by humans, but are actually controlled by demons in secret. Only a small number of players land in places that are truly controlled by humans.”
“Among these people, some have incredible luck. After entering the game, they are taken as disciples by some human forces and don’t need to directly face demons.”
“Among these, there is an even smaller group that is nurtured by those influences as key talents. Among these people, four are the most famous, referred to by other players as the Luck Child.”
Wang Chong roughly explained the so-called Luck Child, and Su Nan finally understood what was going on and wasn’t too surprised.
In the Demon World, although humans can only survive under the oppression of demons, they haven’t fallen to the point of complete control.
Under such circumstances, it’s natural for various sects to develop.
In his opinion, Zhou Lingyin might be a martial artist from the “Qiankun Sect”. “It’s only been four days since the public beta, but those four people have already advanced one of the Demon Sutras to Great Perfection. I’m afraid even the top ten old players on the ranking list can’t match that speed.”
“According to player speculation on the forum, among these four people, aside from the fact that two are already cultivated by certain forces, the other two have also been signed for hundreds of millions of annual salary.”
Wang Chong’s eyes were filled with envy, wishing that he was one of those four people.
“That’s really rich!” Su Nan couldn’t help but sigh as well.
Wang Chong continued, “But that’s not all. Although these four people are lucky, they still fall slightly short compared to the top players on the leaderboard.”
“Especially the number one on the leaderboard, Wang Nan, there are already forces offering him tens of billions in salary.”
Upon hearing this, Su Nan was even more surprised, “Which forces are so generous?”
Tens of billions is no small sum; many city tycoons don’t have this much. Only the top forces could easily put up that much money to invite a player.
“It’s Longevity Pharmaceuticals and Deep Space Technology, and I even heard that the official side also released a message intending to invite Wang Nan as a specially invited consultant.”
Su Nan nodded. The Longevity Pharmaceuticals and Deep Space Technology that Wang Chong mentioned are giants on a global scale, only such top forces can easily come up with tens of billions of funds.
Su Nan was somewhat tempted, but he knew very well that he could only hide in the shadows for now.
Wang Chong said, and then seemed to think of something, “Speaking of which, it’s really a coincidence, that number one guy in the game is named Wang Nan, and he’s only one surname away from you, Brother Nan.”
Su Nan said indifferently, “What’s the big deal? There are hundreds of thousands of people with the same names, let alone different surnames.”
When he originally named himself, it was just random, and even the appearance was arbitrarily adjusted.
If it was an ordinary game, such a disguise would be enough.
But he never expected that the Demon World game would be so extraordinary, and the appearance of the ranking list later made him the focus of the world. Fortunately, he didn’t worry now.
With Boneshifting, he could completely divert attention with another appearance.
Wang Chong sighed, “That Wang Nan is really amazing, even ranked first on the leaderboards in other states!”
Su Nan was stunned again and asked, “How many states are there in the Demon World?”
From the beginning of the game until now, he had never left Sky Wolf Valley, and his knowledge of the world outside Sky Wolf Valley was extremely limited.
Even after the public beta test, he did not deliberately go to collect game information.
“Brother Nan, you really don’t know much about the game, do you?” Wang
Chong was surprised this time, and then explained:
“There are a total of twelve states in the Demon World, corresponding to the Twelve Demon Emperors, which also correspond to the twelve main countries in reality. Each state has its own independent rankings, and the chat channels do not communicate.”
“Our country is located in Dongchen State, and out of the million players in this public beta, our Dongchen State got about ninety thousand spots.”
“Dongchen State!” Su Nan suddenly realized.
Before seeing the world chat not open, he had suspected whether there were other regions besides the area he was in.
He didn’t expect that not only the chat in each region is not interconnected, but also the rankings are not interconnected.
“I heard that in other states, the strongest player only has minor achievement in the second Demon Sutra.”
“You don’t even need to compare with Wang Nan at first place, but also far behind when compared to the Great Gods like Qian Yu and Zhou Cheng.”
Su Nan pondered, figuring out the reason: “Is it because most beta players are from our nation?”
Wang Chong nodded: “Exactly! The more than a thousand beta players are all from our Dongchen State. Now, we Dongchen State is the most powerful in Twelve States.”
Having said that, he was upset again: “However, this situation may not last long.”
“Apparently, the situation of the players in the other eleven states is much better than us, with their Novice Task Difficulty way lower than us!”
Lower Novice Task Difficulty?
Su Nan frowned secretly.
A lower Novice Task Difficulty means that with the same number of players, other states will have more players left after the Survival Task ends.
Moreover, without the hindrance of the novice task, players in other states can get in touch with Daily and Mainline Tasks faster, and their rising speed will be relatively faster, which invisibly pulls the gap apart.
Maybe this is a compensation for the other states not having beta players. Su Nan thought of a possibility.
“Big Brother, you’re fantastic, last night Zhou Cheng just got to the top of the Ranking List and was bumped down by you. How did you do that?”
At ten o’clock at night, Su Nan opened the forum, and a series of private chat messages popped up.
Without exception, they were all sent by Li Hao, full of flattery and compliments.
Zhou Cheng got to the top of the Ranking List?
I was bumped down?
Su Nan was surprised, as he didn’t know about this until now.
After looking at other players’ posts on the forum for a while, he finally understood what had happened last night.
In his heart, Zhou Cheng was even more highly regarded.
Acquiring a bloodline is not easy.
Zhou Cheng and Qian Yu achieved Great Demon Art Perfection on the same day, but Qian Yu hasn’t even integrated the third bloodline till now, which is enough to explain everything.
“I’m still not progressing fast enough!” Su Nan felt a sense of urgency.
He has the Talent of Foreknowledge, and now has two roles, which allows him to earn twice as much Demon Power every day. Logically, the gap between him and other players should keep widening.
But as it stands now, his advantage is not very significant.bender
“Now, if I want to increase my strength, it’s either to follow the due process and complete the daily tasks, or to obtain more bloodlines and Demon Sutras.” “Besides, I have to condense the Third Life Wheel as soon as possible.”
For Su Nan, the difficulty of acquiring Demon Power is not significant. The main challenge lies in acquiring bloodlines and Demon Sutras.
The main way players obtain bloodlines and Demon Sutras is through Mainline Tasks, but he now has two roles, and only one Mainline Task.
This results in his acquisition of bloodlines and Demon Sutras to be insufficient to support the simultaneous development of two roles.
He wants to gain bloodlines and Demon Sutras, and the only way to do so is to look elsewhere.
“Li Hao’s Mainline Task is to hunt three Mortal-level demons. Maybe I can continue to focus on Li Hao’s situation..”
