Chapter 442 Assembly
Not for a moment.
A small group of high-level players, headed by Polar Star and Dongyang Chenxi, each redeemed their own faction's Sequence 8 extraordinary knowledge, read it on the spot, and were promoted on the spot.
For low-sequence promotions, there is no need to complete promotion tasks, as long as the level is up to standard and the supporting extraordinary knowledge is in hand.
This is very convenient for players.
Dongyang and others have accumulated a lot of experience points in the bloody battle at the end of the last version. On average, everyone has been directly promoted to five or six levels. Although they cannot compare with Polaris, they have already pulled away from most players. distance.
"Look at the level rankings!"
The nugget gold suddenly said.
Dongyang and others didn't know why, so they quickly opened the panel and called up the ranking data on one side.
There is no doubt that the first place is Polaris, but starting from the second place, until the tenth place is not a familiar ID, the highest among them, Dongyang, is only sixteen, and the lowest, Meet the Dragon King, dropped directly to fifty-nine.
"Damn it! When did so many 'monsters' pop up? We dropped so many places at once!"
Dragon King said in surprise.
"Not from the three major guilds."
Dongyang frowned.
"But they are also first-class guilds similar to 'Chuxi'. It seems that they have made full preparations. They have long found the extraordinary knowledge of Sequence Eight, and have accumulated a lot of experience. They are just waiting for the version update... and they are also There are a small number of individual players who come from behind.”
"The players are crouching tigers, hidden dragons, and you can't underestimate anyone..."
The centaur sighed and shook his head.
"As time goes by, our initial advantage is no longer obvious... If we want to stay in the lead, we must work hard enough."
Polaris looked at the rest of his companions and said softly.
Everyone nodded solemnly.
"But everyone must also believe in Jack and the circus, because by the mid-Sequence stage, extraordinary knowledge above Sequence 7 will not be so easy to obtain..."
Polaris said with a chuckle.
When Dongyang and others heard this, they immediately understood what he meant.
"That's right. Whether it is the official empire or the Orthodox Church, extraordinary knowledge involving mid-sequence and above requires a very high threshold... But Jack seems to have always been able to exchange it directly."
Dongyang nodded and showed a proud smile.
Everyone suddenly felt that the atmosphere was not so solemn and let out a sigh of relief.
"The top priority is to raise the level first. After all, we have dominated a version of the team... I don't want to give up this position easily!"
Dongyang looked at everyone and said.
"Of course! At least you can't embarrass the circus!"
The dog-headed golden man said loudly.
"In the perception of other players, 'Circus' is not just an extraordinary force, it also means 'a gathering place for the strongest players'! From the closed beta to the public beta version 1.0, we have always been at the forefront of the gradient, but we can't I smashed this sign into my hand!”
"Let's work together on the main mission and strive to reach level 50 as soon as possible, and then start preparing for the promotion to the mid-sequence."
Dongyang glanced around and slowly stretched out his hand.
Everyone looked at each other and each stretched out his hand and placed it on the back of Dongyang's hand.
"Come on!"

Later, Polaris and others began to familiarize themselves with the newly mastered sequence abilities in the open space of the lake house in Wonderland.
Everyone seemed very excited and satisfied with the improvement of their own strength.
Among them, the performance of Kotoujin and Forgetting Wuji is particularly obvious.
"[Flesh and Blood Sequence 8-Gourmet]'s sequence ability is really strong. I'm not kidding. One-on-one Dongyang and the three of them are no match for me."
He stood on the lawn with his hands on his hips and said to his companions.
Dongyang, Ma Ren and Kuangbenkuang sat aside, shaking their heads and sighing.
"Who knew that the Sun Faction's Sequence 8 is a logistical functional sequence. The panel growth of the [Carpenter] is average, and the extra extraordinary forging seems useless. It consumes too much physical strength, the process is also very long, and the failure rate is very high. Outrageous... As a dignified vice-president, I don’t want to waste my precious time on this.”
Chenxi, Su Keying and others kept smiling and tried not to show gloating expressions.
"The two of them, Kotoujin, can swallow part of our attack and turn it into a temporary ability to fight back. This ability will become stronger as it grows... If I had known better, I really shouldn't have chosen the Sun."
The centaur looked annoyed.
"How are you doing?"
Dongyang turned to Chen Xi and others and asked.
"The improvement of [Magic Sequence 8 - Apprentice] is not obvious, and you still cannot cast spells directly, but the efficiency of writing scrolls has become higher, and the magic you master has also increased... Overall, it is not bad, and I am quite satisfied."
Chen Xi smiled.
"Honey Yuzu's [Star Sequence 8 - Trickster] can use words or actions to mislead the enemy BUFF, and can even be used in conjunction with [Hunter]'s trap, which is quite powerful."
Listening to her words, the faces of the three people in Dongyang became more and more frustrated.
"With all due respect, everyone here is happy..."
Oyin laughed and stretched out his right hand.
Ten dead souls floated out of her body and wrapped around her palm, instantly dyeing it black.
"[Moon Sequence Eight - Executioner] increases the lethality. Now I can attack the soul directly. In other words, it ignores physical defense... Kotoujin, aren't you very arrogant? Do you dare to take a punch from me? ”
"Um..."
The dog-headed gold was speechless immediately.
The flesh and blood faction is indeed somewhat restrained by the moon faction. After all, what they are good at is physical strength and resilience, but they are a bit blind when they encounter attacks on the soul... At least at this stage, that is the case.
"You're not cheating. Although you do a lot of damage, you're squishy... Besides, as long as I don't get touched by you, I'll be fine. In terms of fault tolerance, you'd better take it easy."
The nugget gold seemed to have found his confidence again, straightened his hair and said.
Unexpectedly, without saying anything, Wei Yin rushed over and hit him in the face.
"Damn it, sneak attack!"
The nugget gold ran away quickly.
"You don't follow martial ethics!"
"Wunima's virtue, let me see if I don't kill you!"
Wei Yin gave chase, and the two started a fight on the lawn.
Everyone could see that what Kotou Jin said was true. He was able to dodge effectively with his physical fitness which was much higher than that of Wei Yin. As for his counterattack, Weiyin didn't dare to resist. Both of them were very wary of the other's offensive, so they fought more and more cautiously.
Later, Dongyang and others looked at Su Keying again.
"Why are you looking at me..."
Su Keying was stunned for a moment, then shrugged.
"[Conspiracy Sequence 8 - Locksmith] is still the same 'Old Six' as always. In terms of panel growth attributes, dexterity has been improved even more, and the new sequence ability can achieve short-distance teleportation."
She directly demonstrated for everyone, drew a square on the lawn out of thin air, and then pushed it open as a "door". In the next second, she crossed a distance of tens of meters and got through the feet of the Dongyang trio. out.
"This is too strong..."
The dog-headed gold took a moment to turn his head and glanced, dumbfounded.
"If you dare to be distracted, go to hell!"
Oyin took the opportunity to punch out.
The golden hair on the dog's head stood straight up, and he grabbed it with five fingers like a conditioned reflex.
A big mouth full of sharp teeth grew out of its palm, and it actually ate part of the soul power attached to Wei Yin's fist and spit it out immediately. This series of actions was completed in an instant, and with a bang, both of them fell to the ground.
"You...you dare to steal my power!"
Ouyin was very angry and cursed weakly.
"Do you understand what it means to change flowers and trees and change stars?"
Goutou Jin's face was pale, and the pain in his soul was indescribable. He took a breath and retorted.
"Polaris, what about you?"
Dongyang said suddenly.
Everyone looked at Polaris on the side. As the strongest force in the small group, they were all concerned about the changes in Polaris.
Unexpectedly, Polaris just stood quietly with his hands on his elbows, smiling and shaking his head.
"Like you, [Divination] is also a functional auxiliary sequence. The two extra abilities, 'Divination', can predict things, but it is affected by many factors such as intelligence and mysterious weight, so it is difficult to do so. Accurate...'Spiritual Intuition' improves the ability to predict danger. Although it has wide applicability, it does not significantly improve actual combat."
"Brother Beizi is right...we all have these two skills."
The three fate players, Dragon King, Nana and Tutu, nodded in agreement.
"What a pity..."
Dongyang sighed.
Polaris heard what the other party meant, but just chuckled.
"Don't feel sorry for me. In fact, I personally think this is a kind of balance... According to the plot background, there is a reason for the ten sequences to continue from the ancient era to the present. Each sequence has its own strengths. No need to If we care too much about the gains and losses of one or two low-level sequences, we should take a longer-term view.”
He turned to look at each of his companions with a smile.
"Don't you think that you will only stop here?"
"Of course not."
Dongyang looked startled, then laughed heartily.
He was encouraged by Polar Star's plain words, because most of [Takumi's] depression that was not in line with his intentions dissipated.
"Trisul established a country based on the sequence of the sun, so it cannot be weak."
He stood up, dusted himself off, and regained his confident look.
Polar Star was thinking in his heart that the reason why he was able to make great use of the destiny system, which was originally recognized as the weakest, and to get into the eyes of many players was because of the exclusive skills taught by Teacher Jack.
[Soothsayer] Is it a small improvement to yourself?
uncertain.
Maybe I haven't fully understood its essence yet.
"Find an opportunity to meet with Teacher Jack as soon as possible and ask him for advice."
Polaris thought.

The next morning.
When everyone gathered in the fairyland again, a familiar figure suddenly arrived. Black hat, black dress, upright figure holding a delicate silver cane.
"You warriors in foreign lands, I'm glad to see you again."
Chen Lun took off his flat-top hat, placed it on his chest, leaned forward slightly and said.
"Mr. Jack!"
All the players said excitedly.
Except for Dongyang and others, the other elite players from the circus gathered around him. Taiyin was held tightly by his best friend Su Keying, and he almost had to make another "love splash".
"The Empire is preparing for the 'Western War', I believe you have heard about it... Fortunately, your return has given me more hope."
Chen Lun said.
He looked at this group of players and quietly used his life-spying to see their current status at a glance. I feel gratified in my heart. As expected of the elite players under my command, most of them have been promoted to Sequence 8. Among them, Polaris is just like himself, his promotion is the peak, and he is only one step away from the middle Sequence.
‘Hmm… maybe we can make a small start and let Polaris become the first mid-sequence player in version 2.0? ’
Chen Lun thought to himself.
"Mr. Jack, are you here to issue...er, tasks related to the Western War?"
The nugget gold asked suddenly.
Hundreds of pairs of eyes stared directly at the gentleman in black, hoping to hear good news.
Chen Lun smiled slightly.
Of course he knew what these players were thinking, so after pretending to ponder for a while, he nodded slowly.
"Yes, the war in the west is at stake, and the Empire needs you..."
"Oh!!"
The players cheered excitedly.
The three-day service outage for updates has left them with no time to think about food and drink. Now that they are able to directly participate in the main plot after it is launched, how can they not be happy?
"But you need to make a choice here."
Chen Lun raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
"What choice?"
Dongyang asked on behalf of the others.
Chen Lun looked at the puzzled faces of the players, stopped trying to make excuses, and said directly:
"You can choose to participate in the Western War as mercenaries of the imperial military, or you can go to the battlefield as a generous parliamentary expedition... Both options have their own pros and cons, please consider them carefully."
"Teacher, what's the difference between the two?"
Polaris asked.
"For the first option, you can obtain the corresponding standard equipment and supplies, and at the same time, you will follow the large troops into the frontal battlefield, and face a more intense battle...The second option, you will not receive any material help, and all weapons and equipment We need to solve the problem of supply and supply by ourselves, and most of the wars we will participate in will be side response.”
Chen Lun slowly explained.
After the players heard this, they immediately started talking about it.
Judging from Jack's explanation, it is obvious that the first choice is better. Not only can you get free weapons and equipment, but you also have more opportunities to level up.
Is the fighting intense?
Players are not afraid at all!
They are afraid that there will be no monsters!
"Teacher, in what capacity will you go to the battlefield?"
Polaris asked directly without thinking too much.
"I just want to follow you and kill the enemy together!"
"Yes, we have the same idea as Polaris. We will choose whichever one can go to the battlefield with you!"
Kotoujin, Dongyang and others also expressed their opinions.
They won't consider those minor details. After experiencing an entire version, these high-level players have already firmed up their belief... Only by hugging Jack's thigh tightly is the truth!
What weapons, equipment and supplies are worth, and how much are they worth?
They don't care!
So what if there are fewer chances to fight?
Jack will definitely have more benefits waiting for them to get it!
"Well... the Council of Generosity has decided on the candidate. As the person in charge of this western war, I will personally lead the clergy to help the imperial expedition."
Chen Lun said with a smile.
"Teacher, I choose the second one!"
Polaris said firmly.
Chen Lun glanced at him with relief and secretly said that Xiao Zao must make arrangements.
Dongyang and others did not hesitate and chose the camp of the Generous Council. After a moment of communication and consideration, most of the remaining circus players made the same choice, which was to follow Jack's footsteps.
Players who can enter the circus are not stupid, and they naturally know which choice is better.
"In this case, we will set off immediately tomorrow. All personnel must arrive at the southwest border within seven days and assemble at the Vulture City in the wilderness... Those who are late will be stripped of their qualifications to participate in the war."
Chen Lun said calmly.
He raised his hand and lightly punched the silver cane, making a muffled thud on the ground. The players immediately responded in unison:
"Yes! Mr. Jack!" (End of Chapter)
