Late at night, Ba Huang City.

Sitting quietly under the northern gate's walls selling stuff, I gained 900G in just one night. The drops I acquired from the Five Barbarians Desolate Tomb sold like hot cakes and were gone extremely quickly. Now that the preliminary level cap provided by had increased to 150, equipment that was lower than level 100 became a part of the 'temporary equipment' category which meant I had to clear my inventory fast. If the average level of the players increased, equipment under level 50 would lose their market.

"Di!"

A message from Wolf came, "Brother Xiao Yao, have you seen the official information bulletin update?"

"No, what about it?"

"There's going to be an event that starts tomorrow at noon called 'Demons' Descent'. In all three cities, boss level monsters will start spawning at a high frequency and have a high drop rate. Brother Xiao Yao, we have to take advantage of this event!"

"Is that right?" My heart skipped a beat. "Then, be prepared by 10 AM tomorrow. Everyone in the studio must be online; we can't let this event slip through our fingers!"

"Yup, I'll go offline and rest!"

"Okay!"

......

Turning off the chat, I quickly visited the game's official website and sure enough, on the sidebar was a huge banner saying 'Demons' Descent'. In order for this event to start, an Emperor Tier boss had to have been defeated; it seems like our completion of the Five Barbarians' Desolate Tomb quest line progressed the main storyline.

Opening the event details, there was an abundance of information.

【Demons' Descent】 When the first Emperor Tier boss had been defeated, his soul's death caused earthshaking tremors throughout the continent. All of the boss' that were hiding in seclusion will begin to stir and will appear. All major cities will be ambushed by 3 Emperor Tier bosses, 10 Purple Tier bosses, 20 Gold Tier bosses, and 50 Silver Tier bosses. These bosses will give out generous rewards and killing these bosses will greatly improve your fame in the city. Please do not abandon your city in their time of need, young adventurers; the time to display your power has come!

Monster Drop Rate Overview

【Emperor Tier Boss Drop Rate】: Emperor Tier Equipment (10%), Purple Tier Equipment (40%), Guild Creation Tablet (70%), Guild Prestige Tablet (20%), SS Ranked Skill Book (5%), S Ranked Skill Book (20%)

【Purple Tier Boss Drop Rate】: Purple Tier Equipment (20%), Guild Creation Tablet (40%), Guild Prestige Tablet (5%), SS Ranked Skill Book (2%), S Ranked Skill Book (5%)

【Gold Tier Boss Drop Rate】: Gold Tier Equipment (50%), Guild Creation Tablet (20%), Guild Prestige Tablet (2%), SS Ranked Skill Book (1%), S Ranked Skill Book (3%)

【Silver Tier Boss Drop Rate】: Silver Tier Equipment (50%), Guild Creation Tablet (10%), Guild Prestige Tablet (1%), SS Ranked Skill Book (0.4%), S Ranked Skill Book (1%)

......

Looking at the Boss Drop Rate Table, my eyes almost turned bright red: this was a great opportunity! Zhan Long was still in its infancy but the main foundation had already appeared with Old K, Dong Cheng Lei, Wolf, Matcha and me as the close combatants, Darling Duck as the Healer and Fox as the long range support. Combine that with a couple new recruits, we had a total of 21 members! Among these players, I was already on the CBN Battle Network Leaderboard top 1000 and thus I would be the centerpiece that attracts other experts to join. Given time, when Old K, Dong Cheng Lei and Wolf become experts in their own right and when the Zhan Long Studio's funds have surpassed 100,000, only then would we have finally been able to establish a foothold in Ba Huang City!
