Chapter 155: Victory in the First Battle, Rewards Double Repeatedly: Golden Civilization Chest
Yu Yuan was awakened by the notification sound.
[Ding... Player ID: Blood Wolf Shelter has been confirmed dead, this invasion war has ended, settlement evaluation in progress... both sides' material loss ratio, casualty ratio, tactics of both sides...]
[Judgment result: Defender player ID 'Yu Yuan Shelter' in this battle had zero material loss, zero casualties, and full mental state; Attacker player ID 'Blood Wolf Shelter' player is dead, no followers survived, meets full annihilation condition!]
[Congratulations, player ID 'Yu Yuan Shelter' has won this invasion war!]
[Congratulations, player ID 'Yu Yuan Shelter' has achieved a flawless victory with no loss, rewards doubled!]
[Congratulations, player ID 'Yu Yuan Shelter' has earned the first victory, rewards doubled!]
[Achievement unlocked: Victory in the First Battle]
[Achievement reward: War invasion rewards doubled!]
[Congratulations, player ID 'Yu Yuan Shelter' has received Civilization Chest (Golden) ×1, Civilization Points ×60]
[Congratulations, player ID 'Yu Yuan Shelter' has obtained spoils of war — 128 survival points]Huh?
Yu Yuan was completely stunned by this string of notifications.
What was going on?
How did he win without any explanation?
The problem was, he hadn’t even seen where the opposing player was!
And were those 128 survival points for real? Even if Blood Wolf was dirt-poor, this was ridiculous!
Though baffled, Yu Yuan stared at the golden Civilization Chest that had appeared before him and couldn’t contain his excitement.
This was a Golden Civilization Chest, the highest level of reward.
He had just gotten it so inexplicably?
Logically, even if he had won, there was no way he should have received a Golden Civilization Chest.
After all, his ranking was much higher than Blood Wolf Shelter’s.
But he couldn’t argue with stacked reward multipliers!
Flawless victory, first victory, victory in the first battle.
Those were three triggers that doubled rewards.
It was precisely because the reward multipliers stacked consecutively that he ended up with the current haul.
“Too bad...”
Yu Yuan knew clearly that the first victory and victory-in-the-first-battle bonuses could only apply once.
If he wanted reward multipliers in the future, he’d have to focus on achieving flawless victories.
But that wasn’t easy.
Yu Yuan immediately remembered he still had no idea how Blood Wolf had died!
He was dying of curiosity.
No choice, he opened Social — Chat Channel.
Sure enough, at the top of the Chat Channel a pinned message in bright blood-red appeared, extremely conspicuous.
— Elimination notice: Blood Wolf Shelter (rank 8478) was eliminated by Yu Yuan Shelter (rank 6799), time: 10:02 (new players enter in 12 hours)
“So any time an invasion war happens, when a player dies they’re considered eliminated?” Yu Yuan frowned slightly.
He had obtained no useful information from this invasion by Blood Wolf Shelter, and it left him uneasy.
Because of that elimination notice, some veteran players in the chat began forming ideas.
The most vocal of course was Xiao Wu from Moss Cottage Shelter.
He stared at the elimination notice in the chat and casually tossed the blind-eye fish in his hand aside.
“What trash. We told him all he needed was to find out Yu Yuan Shelter’s location, and he gets killed within three hours of invading. Stupid fool!”
“However...”
A calculating look flashed in Xiao Wu’s eyes.
“This actually proves that the guy must have a lot of good stuff. To knock out an invading player within three hours of the invasion starting isn’t easy. Hmm~~~ no wonder I had my eye on this prey. Who should I send next? This time send someone sharper.”
Stag Shelter.
Tie Xiong hauled a four-hundred-pound wild boar back to the shelter.
Just as he was about to rest and butcher the boar, a private message prompt popped up on his virtual light screen.
[Hive Shelter: Stag, the Yu Yuan Shelter we’ve been watching just had movement, they eliminated Blood Wolf Shelter.]
Hm?
Tie Xiong immediately opened the chat channel and saw that elimination notice.
Within the chat channel, players who had been following Yu Yuan Shelter suddenly realized Yu Yuan Shelter had already exited the Novice Period.
Some praised him as a boss who jumped more than three thousand ranks while still in novice status, while some veteran players raised questions.
There was only one point of doubt: who had launched the invasion war.
That was crucial.
Yu Yuan Shelter’s newbie protection had only ended this morning at 6:00.
Even setting aside the hour both sides get to prepare for an invasion,
Blood Wolf Shelter’s invasion had only lasted, at most, three hours.
If Yu Yuan Shelter had been the aggressor, it would be understandable that the battle ended in three hours.
After all, the attacking player has an advantage: within the first hour after invasion starts, the virtual light screen provides the attacker with the defender’s general location and distance.
With luck, an attacker can eliminate the opponent early.
But if Blood Wolf Shelter had initiated the invasion, then this matter deserved careful thought.
Tie Xiong had the same thought. He sent a message to Hive:
[Stag Shelter: This Yu Yuan is a bit uncanny. Let’s watch and wait. Blood Wolf was probably controlled by Moss Cottage. Let that lunatic try to test Yu Yuan’s depth first!]
[Hive Shelter: Just as I thought, this Yu Yuan is indeed strange. Better to be cautious. I’ll start an invasion too.]
[Stag Shelter: Good. Three days until the Wasteland Battle Royale begins, try to increase your strength!]
————————
Yu Yuan also saw the chat channel discussion; the veterans’ messages revealed a lot of information he hadn’t known before.
After observing for a while, Yu Yuan closed the virtual light screen.
He still hadn’t seen the enemy, and after thinking it over, he decided not to hang the peace shield to get seven days of safety.
Instead he chose to keep waiting.
He had to personally witness other players’ strength and gear in order to prepare for upcoming fights.
Whether future invasion wars, the Wasteland Trial, or selling weapons and genetic serums for survival points, this was critical.
Sure enough, he soon received another notification that a player had launched an invasion against him.
This time the player was ranked 7532; that player didn’t appear in Yu Yuan’s Shelter Memo.
Yu Yuan didn’t care; he only hoped he wouldn’t get another Blood Wolf situation.
After a short rest, though his head was still a little drowsy, he couldn’t resist the temptation of the glittering chest before him.
There was exactly one hour until the next player invasion.
He picked up the Golden Civilization Chest and opened it.
A dazzling golden light burst from the chest, making Yu Yuan squint.
"Ding... high-value materials detected..."
