Ye Yun, however, was living an exceptionally leisurely life. His experience points for leveling up had reached a level that made him completely give up on any hope of competing for the top spot on the in-game ranking list. Nevertheless, this did not stop him from grinding levels relentlessly.
The reason was that Ye Yun wanted to increase his level as much as possible within these few days to prepare for the "Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races in the Game" event occurring eight days later. Although he had no idea what rewards it would entail, he assumed they would be substantial.
To this end, Ye Yun had specifically posted a thread on the Heaven's Path forum, offering to purchase double experience cards indefinitely. He was willing to pay one million gold coins for a one-hour card and two million for a two-hour card! He would buy as many as he could get!
His offer caused countless people to call him a fool with too much money!
After all, with that kind of money, they reasoned, one could buy attribute points instead. Since he wasn't going to make the leaderboards anyway, what was the point of leveling up? Could he eat it?
Under the temptation of wealth, Ye Yun managed to acquire nearly thirty experience cards in just over ten hours, totaling forty-one hours of boosted experience.
Pity…
Ye Yun looked at the group of level forty-something elite monsters in the dungeon and couldn't help but reminisce about his days in the Shan Hai Realm.
"Boss, the Hu Qing Bureau just called. They said the US, in conjunction with Europe, Sakura, India, and the Polar Bear nation, has established the first multinational legion for 'Heaven's Path'!"
Ye Yun, bored in the dungeon, received a message from Li Chenxu. In the United Front Work Department, he was responsible for collecting information from various countries.
Ye Yun was stunned.
In his previous life, although he had been suppressed by those Western countries, it had not reached the point of the Eastern Alliance and the Polar Bear nation joining forces.
It was important to remember that the Polar Bear nation and China had always been friendly allies. To think they would stab him in the back like this.
"Could it be that our rapid development has made them worried?" Ye Yun couldn't help but wonder. Before the appearance of the Enlightenment Tower, things were fine. But after its emergence, it was bound to disrupt certain international balances.
"Boss, how should we respond?"
"No response."
This Elder Council was quite something. After cutting off Dragon Palace's funding, they went on to support a twenty-person team. When problems arose, they always expected his side to take the hit? Was it that easy?
Currently, the Elder Council's information on Dragon Palace was still based on the records from before Ye Yun took over. They had not updated it since his takeover, so this was also a way to test the waters.
As for the matter of thirty countries forming a multinational legion, Ye Yun didn't concern himself with it at all.
In 'Heaven's Path,' country borders would only open to players who reached level 35. In reality, the domestic military and police forces alone, who received attribute enhancements through public funding, were enough to hold them off.
Especially the military. Each of them had passed the level twenty assessment and had manifested 3% of their strength. Combined with their military training, it could be said that any one of them could take on a hundred ordinary individuals.
Under such circumstances, how could they be suppressed? How could they even attempt to suppress them? Would they launch a full-scale war? Was that even possible?
However, this did give Ye Yun a sense of urgency. He had only been reborn for just over a month, and he hadn't expected the course of history to begin changing so soon.
And Dragon Palace currently had only just over two hundred official members, and their strength, compared to his previous life, still had a considerable gap. Sometimes, Ye Yun couldn't help but wish he could tell them to abandon their talents and focus solely on stacking attributes.
Take Wang Chen, for example. Although his talent was not as high as Zhou Ningdong and the others, he had spent three hundred billion gold coins to purchase a staggering three million attribute points!
It could be said that his current attribute points were the highest in Dragon Palace, second only to Ye Yun! This made the veterans like Zhou Ningdong envious and jealous, but they also understood that talent was the ultimate path to success. Furthermore, each of them had also purchased attribute points on the scale of hundreds of billions, so in terms of actual strength, they were not inferior to Wang Chen.
"I've raised a bunch of vampires!" Although the gold he currently possessed was just a string of numbers to Ye Yun, earning money could sometimes be a tough task!
"System prompt: The second round of the level ranking has concluded. Player benefits for the top ten players have been distributed via mail. The next round of the level leaderboard will open in one hour! Players are encouraged to strive hard!"
The changes in this level ranking were significant. Firstly, Ye Yun, who was previously in first place, had completely disappeared. He was replaced by 'Add Me For Drinks' (Xie Yifeng), level 28.
2 - Ye Wu Mian (Chen Jiamiao), level 28.
3 - tagas, level 27.
4 - Long Ning Shu (Zhou Ningdong), level 27.
5 - Long Tai Yang (Li Chenxu), level 27.
…
Four of the top five spots were taken by Dragon Palace!
Seven of the top ten spots were occupied by Dragon Palace!
This achievement had simply blinded everyone's eyes.
"Holy crap, how amazing are our Chinese players on the world rankings? What's the deal with these powerhouses? Can anyone knowledgeable give us some info? Why can't I even find my Ma Baba?" a passerby looked at the leaderboard, utterly bewildered.
"So much gold… I really want to play the 'make more babies' game with them…" an art student, lifting her long skirt, couldn't help but moan.
"As expected of an immortal force, their achievements are incredible… It almost makes me want to join, but I wonder if they hold grudges." In a certain military region in the southeast, Li Le exited the game, lit a cigarette, and murmured to himself. His face was now covered in a beard, and he looked completely transformed from before.
And in the international section…
"What's going on with China? Why are their levels increasing so fast? Especially the first and second place players, they weren't even on the previous rankings, were they?"
"Who cares about them? Maybe they're using double experience cards twenty-four hours a day?"
"You make a good point, upstairs. No wonder someone's offering a million gold coins for a double experience card. Damn, the world of the rich is too inhumanly extravagant."
"I heard there's a place in China called 'Fengle Village' with a secret dungeon. They say the experience gained from killing monsters inside is 1.5 times that of ordinary monsters outside. I don't know if it's true."
"Hmph, what's there to be proud of for you guys in China? We, Sakura Country, have booked our spot for the next leaderboard!"
Within the Heaven's Path forum, the announcement of the leaderboard immediately sparked heated discussions. This was true for both the domestic and international sections.
This was the first time something like this had happened, and the second time it was even more rampant?
