Chapter 39: The Devil Strikes (Vote for Recommendation!)

Put away the sorrow hit by contribution points, Li Mu started to check the acquisition instructions for contribution points——

[There are two ways to earn contribution points: 1. Complete plot tasks 2. Exchange items in Natural Temple]

Plot tasks?

Li Mu was startled, recalling the instance task they were currently undertaking: the Ancient Holy City.

As for now, although many goblins had been eliminated, actually, the three objectives of this task—

"1. Establish a stable Teleportation Array;"

"2. Eliminate all entrenched goblins;"

"3. Search for Divine Blood Crystals in the relics."

They had actually not completed any of them.

However, after the exchange system was activated, detailed information about earning contribution points from the first instance task was further clarified:

[Participating in establishing Teleportation Array, you can earn 500 contribution points.]

[Participating in killing a goblin, you can earn 10 contribution points; for killing a goblin alone, you can earn 50 contribution points.]

[Participating in killing a goblin priest, you can earn 50 contribution points; for killing a goblin priest alone, you can earn 500 contribution points.]

[Sacrificing a Divine Blood Crystal, you can earn 800 contribution points.]

[Contribution points will be calculated after all task objectives are completed.]

After reading all these messages, Li Mu's heart thudded with excitement.

"Killing goblins... establishing Teleportation Array, searching for Divine Blood Crystals!"

Although Li Mu was already looking forward to the first instance task, once he truly understood the significance of contribution points, he now wanted to fly to the Holy City of Feilengcui immediately!

"Must act quickly... Many have leveled up to level 11 now, the threat from goblins will be much reduced, next it will be a test of who can kill more and faster, the task of setting up the Array can be done together, but the other two objectives depend on who is faster!"

"Killing goblins and finding crystals are the main ways to earn lots of contribution points, must get to it first!"

Li Mu quickly made his decision.

Having figured everything out, he promptly left the Natural Temple and prepared to contact some old teammates.

But when he arrived at the camp square, he was suddenly stunned.

At this moment, the square had already gathered many players who had advanced to level 11.

Li Mu had spent too much time looking at the exchange interface earlier, by this time, nearly all players who could change jobs had done so.

But at this moment, after changing jobs, no one logged off, all the combat-oriented players' eyes shone with excitement, faintly revealing a mood of eagerness.

Meanwhile, the square was bustling with calls:

"Teaming up, teaming up! Assault on Holy City of Feilengcui! Farming goblins and searching for Divine Blood Crystals!"

"Missing one, need a tank-type warrior! Only Black Iron Lower level!"

"Buying Divine Blood Crystals! 800 RMB each!"

"Buying contribution points! Buying contribution points! One-to-one ratio, supports Yufubao and Weixin transfers!"

Even Demacia, whose house had been blown up, also joined in, face full of excitement:

"Brother Mu, did you see? The exchange system! All purple epic equipment! There are less than thirty pieces in the entire server! I want to collect a set of warrior equipment, well... might not be realistic, but at least get a scimitar, um... shall we stay up all night together?"

Li Mu: …

Mad.

Everyone's gone mad.

Once they understood the contribution point system, the players who changed jobs went crazy.

More powerful skills, better and cooler equipment...

Everything required contribution points to exchange!

All the combat-oriented players who had changed jobs were restless, planning to stay up all night to grind through the tasks!

Tonight in Elf Forest, it was destined to be a sleepless night.

High above, Eve sighed.

He silently drew a symbol of Mother Nature for the goblins of Feilengcui in his heart, quietly praying:

"May you be happy tonight, little green cuties..."

Having received a blessing from the True God, the goblins could die without regrets.

Eve thought with satisfaction.

...

In the ruins of Feilengcui.

After a day's activity, the goblins had returned to their nests.

Having been lured and killed by players, the goblin population in Feilengcui had diminished by almost a third. Despite their low intelligence, they felt a hint of unease.

What caused even more unease among the goblins, however, was that their leader—the High Priest Gululu—had been out and hadn't returned for the entire day.

This was highly unusual for a High Priest who would normally never leave the temple.

Fortunately, the presence of three other goblin priests quelled the unrest in the tribe, preventing this nervous sentiment from spreading further among the goblins.

However, this was only temporary.

Goblins, being creatures that bully the weak and are immensely greedy, would be completely disorganized without a strong leader to control them. At this very moment, the other three goblin priests in Feilengcui were in the middle of a dispute.

In the damaged temple.

Three goblin priests sat around a basin filled with shimmering light-green crystals, falling into a strange silence.

If players were here, they would recognize that these crystals in the stone basin were all Divine Blood Crystals from the World Tree.

Twenty-six in total!

After a moment, one of the goblin priests spoke:

"The High Priest must have encountered trouble; otherwise, he wouldn't have left these behind. These are offerings to the True God!"

"Haha, he was always greedy and selfish, and terribly arrogant. If something really did happen to him, it serves him right."

Another goblin priest spoke gleefully.

It had always disliked Gululu. Being devotees of the Father God, why should Gululu receive special treatment? It was merely by chance that he had received an inheritance from an Undead Mage...

The other two goblin priests didn't object; they shared the same thoughts but had been afraid to say so when Gululu was in power.

After a brief silence, the third goblin priest said:

"The rewards from the True God are given only to those who contribute the most. How shall we deal with these?"

It gestured towards the Divine Blood Crystals in front of them.

As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere in the temple grew inexplicably tense.

No wonder many intelligent creatures despised goblins; even those among them who had advanced in ranks to become priests still lacked sufficient wisdom and foresight.

With the High Priest missing, their first thought wasn't to check for potential dangers around them or decide whether to pray and report to the True God, but how to split the spoils left by the High Priest...

A moment later, the first goblin who had spoken chuckled softly, his voice sharp:

"Isn't it obvious? Those who are strong get the chance to converse with the True God."

At these words, the atmosphere among the three goblins thickened even more.

Just as they were on the verge of a standoff, suddenly, a faint tumult came from outside the temple...

The sounds of shouting, screaming, and clashing weapons rose and fell.

The ears of the three goblins twitched, and they each saw a trace of confusion and wariness in each other's eyes.

At that moment, a goblin stumbled into the temple, covered in numerous wounds and a face full of terror.

"What happened?"

The goblin priests frowned.

The injured goblin, completely desperate, threw itself on the ground and frantically gestured "ah ah ah" as if it had been severely traumatized.

After its gestures, the three goblin priests stood up simultaneously, faces full of astonishment:

"What?"

"You're saying demons have attacked?"
