I have an Apocalypse City

Chapter 684: Chapter 684: Scramble

Song Jian is still at level thirty-one, only having received the reward for the first-order combat power assessment mission yesterday, but he has not yet accumulated the rewards for each part of the mission process;

The total reward for the three-phase mission is a four-level advancement and ten free attribute points.

Currently, Song Jian has twelve skill points in his hand as well as the right to receive a skill book of no lower than legendary quality. To players who have not yet reached the strength of the first-order combat power, this is an invincible status.

Song Jian glanced at Zeus, who was ranked second, whose level was already thirty-one. He merely caught up in levels, but didn’t attend or pass any first-order combat power assessment. Facing Song Jian, who had broken a hundred points in three attributes, Zeus probably couldn’t even lift a sword.

Even if this guy who had changed his name to Zeus surpassed Song Jian in levels, he wouldn’t remain first for long. Once Song Jian’s full mission rewards are distributed and he instantly advances to level thirty-five, it will induce deep despair in his opponents.

“They all take turns to level up this guy named Zeus, we can do the same, and we have many more people than they do.” Suddenly, Ma Yu spoke out.

“Ma Yu is right, we can also get people to grind mobs, to raise the guild leader’s level!” said Wang Qi, nodding his head.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

“In reality, in this game, the level isn’t really that important. Leveling up only gives one skill point, it doesn’t help as much with the improvement of one’s abilities…” Luo Tianyu commented.

“That’s not acceptable, the Honor Rankings are our banner, the first place must be our City of Hope Alliance’s leader!” Wang Qi said decisively.

Song Jian finished his meal and was about to stand up, with a light press on the table;

Crack~

A clear sound of shattering rang out and a crack several feet long appeared on the sturdy wooden table, extending outward from Song Jian’s palm.

Song Jian frowned slightly. His elevation in power had been too quick, he still couldn’t properly control his strength, often unintentionally causing damage to his surroundings.

“A great strength is harmful rather than beneficial to me if I can’t control it well!” Song Jian thought to himself.

“Guild Leader, what’s happening…” Wang Qi asked, looking at Song Jian with astonishment.

“Sorry, my power has been growing a little fast recently!” Song Jian said with a smile, “Continue your discussion, don’t mind me.”

With that, Song Jian slowly made his way to the castle’s exit with movements were exceedingly slow, as if he were walking in space.

The group exchanged glances, all equally surprised;

“What were you doing in the months you were absent, Guild Leader?” Luo Tianyu curiously asked.

“I was completing a first-order combat power assessment mission!” Song Jian replied with a smile.

“First-order combat power?” Surprise flooded everyone’s faces.

None of them had reached level thirty yet and hadn’t encountered the concept of first-order combat power.

“First-order combat power, isn’t that something only a boss possesses? Can players have it too?” Luo Tianyu asked in astonishment.

“Indeed, but bosses who possess first-order combat power are really tough to beat. So does that mean players who possess first-order combat power would become stronger than ordinary people?” Wang Qi asked curiously.

“Once you reach level thirty, you will encounter your first-order combat power assessment mission. I spent these months completing my assessment.” Song Jian said with a chuckle.

Crack~

The hard marble tiles under Song Jian’s feet shattered entirely. Frowning slightly, he walked slowly out of the castle.

“I believe we should solidify our position as number one on the Honor Level Ranking before we discuss anything else.” Wang Qi stated: “The game only opened the Honor Level Ranking for now, which is in essence an advertisement. As the top guild of Doomsday City, we need to keep that number one spot. We can’t let Pantheon snatch it away!”

“Right, I concur. The top spot on the Honor Level Ranking is like a live advertisement, our banner, we can’t give it up so easily!” said Ma Yu as he nodded in agreement.

“Yeah, Song Jian, the first-order combat power may enhance our abilities, but many players don’t know that. What they can see is the Honor Level Ranking!” Li Ke’er also nodded.

“The top spot on the Honor Ranking, he won’t be able to take it!” said Song Jian, now standing outside the castle, gazing at the lush vegetation of the Spirit Field with a smile.

At the northern breeding ground of Doomsday City, on the other hand,

A group of people were viciously killing monsters of level twenty or so in the breeding ground, while even more people were luring the monsters towards them from a distance.

The people who were struggling with the monsters down below would stop attacking when the monster’s vitality points were reduced to one-tenth. Standing beside the building, a mage alternated between the “Fire Rain” and “Snowstorm” area-of-effect spells to deal the final blow to the monsters;

A dozen healing professionals were busy replenishing the vitality of those embroiled in the fight with the monsters;

Upon careful counting, there were actually more than a hundred people serving this mage. Although the mage was already at level thirty-one and the monsters of level twenty-five or twenty-six yielded very little experience, the sheer quantity of monsters, nearly endless, meant he was leveling up much faster than usual;

“Boss, that guy from the City of Hope Alliance hasn’t increased his experience points for a while. According to our speed, we should be able to surpass him in six or seven hours, then you will be the first one in the Honor Level Ranking!” a priest standing beside Zeus whispered.

“Our Pantheon will be the largest guild in Doomsday City, and we aim to become the largest guild in this game as well!” Zeus confidently declared, “In due course, we won’t just be known in the game, but in the real world as well. We’ll establish our own organization, and with great power, each one of us will become a true god, ruling the entire world!”

Zeus looked as if he was in his twenties, yet he exuded a sense of wise maturity. He was constantly instilling the concept of becoming a god in the people around him, attracting a large number of ambitious players.

“Boss, people have found a thirty-level elite BOSS. Do you want to go beat it?” a hunter from below shouted loudly.

“Ignore it for now, don’t alert any of the BOSSes that are found, draw only the regular monsters here. Our current goal is to help the boss climb the Honor Level Ranking as fast as possible!” the priest beside him shouted in response.

“Understood!”

…

While Pantheon was giving their all to help Zeus level up, Song Jian, on the other hand, was presented with a semi-transparent roulette, laden with dozens of shining books.

Epic quality items are purple, legendary items are orange, and above legendary is mythic. Mythic items are brilliantly multicolored.

The books placed on the roulette were all shining with an orange or multicolored light.

“These are all no less than legendary quality books specifically for the Sword Master class, let’s see if my luck allows me to get a book of a higher grade!” Song Jian’s gaze fell onto the three books emitting a multicolored light. He blew on his palm and spun the wheel.
