Chapter 62: Talk before the event starts
Shortly after Liu Yang left Rose's room, Little Flower came in and talked to the girls. The place where he went was called the Cursed Battlefield, for the place was cursed by a strange magic that resurrected the bodies of those who died during the Great War.
The Possessed Corpse Invasion Event would start in a few hours and Liu Yang had to attend the venue as his classmates were gathering to discuss some strategies.
The meeting place was in a town called Doom City, this is the only place near the battlefield, but it was still necessary to travel for a while to get to the battlefield.
The city was named after the curse that was cast by a mighty dark wizard, this place was a peaceful and beautiful city, but during the Great War, the place and surrounding areas became one of the largest battlefields in the war.
To get to the city it was necessary to use the transport stone twice and travel a little along the road because the transport stone did not lead directly to the destination, but the nearest places. And the total price of the trip is five gold coins, but it was also possible to use the transport stone once and then travel the road.
The problem with traveling down the road was that there were too many thieves, anyone could get killed and lose some items. This was something no one wanted, but it was not always possible to use the transport stone, so whenever there were players who chose to travel down the road.
Nowadays, a lot of players were in a town called Sharp Stones City, the city was named after the surrounding mountains that looked like dozens of sharp rocks pointed skyward. This was the only city near Doom City.
Players who wanted to participate in the Possessed Corpse Invasion Event were coming to this city as it was the shortest way to get to the Doom City and then to the Cursed Battlefield.
The other roads needed a long time, as it would be necessary to travel the road.
Thousands of lights flashed and soon after, thousands of players appeared in the City of Sharp Stones. Among these players was a large group wearing black cloaks that covered their bodies.
Once they reached the city, the players began to spread, each one went their own way. One of the people dressed in the black cloak began walking toward an open field where dozens of groups were separated by flags. These flags had the same symbol, but the numbering was different.
This camp belongs to the East High School, this is the high school that Liu Yang studies.
Nearby other high schools were also attending, this was happening as the government was funding these activities. And students were not required to attend, but those who did not attend would have some problems with their classmates. For the event is something collective.
One good thing was that not all high schools were attending this event, the government gave the option for each school to choose which event it would attend as many other events were going on at the same time.
One example was the tide of creatures, where the goal was to kill as many creatures as possible and accumulate points. In other distant cities, other events were happening.
…
Arriving near the venue, the person dressed in the black cloak realized that other players like him were also wearing black cloaks to cover their faces and bodies.
Walking to a certain spot, he saw three people waving at him, they were young-looking 17-18 years old, each of them was wearing a suit of armor from a different class. They were Zen Hi, Li Qing, and Zhao Yan, the three were already in place waiting for Liu Yang.
When they saw the person in the black cloak walking through the high school camp, they knew it was Liu Yang, for the four of them were chatting, and the moment Liu Yang was in sight, they waved at him.
"Looks like all the high school classes are here too" Liu Yang walked over to the three and spoke.
"Yes, as this event has good rewards for those who can score the most points. The school is looking to make something out of it, but it's a pity we don't go to other events… "Li Qing said as he sighed.
"Are there any other events?" Liu Yang asked doubtfully, he has been busy these past few days and had no time to look over the other events.
"Yes, many other events are happening at the same time, but the high school can only choose one of these events and all students will have to attend as we earn points for our grade."
"I wish the school had chosen some event to hunt for the tide, it's so much better than the one to purify souls" Li Qing sighed, he was a person who liked fighting, so he preferred events that had more action.
"This invasion event also has no fights?" Liu Yang asked.
"There is a little, but it is not the focus. Tide events are different from this event as it is focused on a group or individual fighting. And the intensity is much higher. "Li Qing spoke in a fanatic tone, which showed how much he liked to fight.
"I see… Li Qing, is it possible to go to these events after the invasion event is over?" Liu Yang asked doubtfully if that is possible, he wanted to attend the other events to see what it was like, as Liu Yang had only seen through videos before.
"It is possible, but it depends on the duration of the event, as some last longer or shorter than others. One of the examples is tide events, it lasts for most of three weeks. But this event we are going on is only two weeks long. When this event is over, you attend other events that are still happening, but you need to know that there are events that you need to register in advance, otherwise, you will not be able to attend the events. "
"I see…"
While Liu Yang and his three fellows were talking, someone showed up at their class camp, he was a man who was wearing cloth and had staff on his back. Students recognized this person, he was the teacher of Liu Yang's class.
"Hello, it seems that some students are still missing, let's wait a little while before we start talking about the event"
