Chapter 158: Blood Slave's Teeth, Breeder
[Ding... Player ID: Roar Shelter has been confirmed dead. This invasion war has ended. Settlement evaluation in progress... Both sides' material loss ratio, both sides' casualty ratio, both sides' tactics......]
[Evaluation result: Defending player ID 'Yu Yuan Shelter' had zero material loss in this battle, zero casualties, and full mental state; Attacking player ID 'Roar Shelter' player is dead, no followers survived, meeting the total 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 zero losses, reward doubled!]
[Congratulations, player ID 'Yu Yuan Shelter' has obtained Civilization Treasure Chest (Bronze Level) ×1, Civilization Points ×10]
[Congratulations, player ID 'Yu Yuan Shelter' has obtained spoils of war——658 survival points]
Yu Yuan took a shower directly in the main guest room, changed his clothes, and returned to the shelter.
After the interrogation, some of the doubts in his mind were finally answered.
First was the mechanism of player wars. Just as he had guessed before, the wasteland game indeed contained many different post-apocalyptic worlds with varying rules.
Some worlds were shelter construction mode, some were train survival mode, and others included highway survival, dungeon survival, island survival, and so on.Each survival world had its own characteristics and requirements, and at the Rock Rank, they didn't have much influence on each other.
Only in [Wasteland Great Escape] did players from different rule worlds have a chance to come into contact.
Even for player invasions, at the Rock Civilization Rank, it was only players within their own rule worlds invading each other.
But if the civilization rank advanced from Rock to Bronze, things would be very different then.
All Bronze Rank players would merge together, competing in the overall Bronze Civilization Ladder ranking, and could invade and attack each other.
Train survival players could invade shelter construction players, dungeon survival players could also attack island survival players.
This was also the reason why those high-ranking Rock Rank players were unwilling to advance to the Bronze Rank.
It was simply too brutal.
There were only two conditions for advancing to the Bronze Rank:
① The shelter's ranking enters the top 100;
② Accumulate 500 civilization points;
As long as these two conditions were met, the advancement mission could be triggered, allowing the player to choose whether to advance.
If choosing to start the advancement mission, one player would be randomly selected from the bottom 1000 players on the Bronze Civilization Rank Leaderboard to launch an invasion war against the player. As long as they held out for 7 days, they would successfully advance, step into the Bronze Rank, and receive advancement rewards.
However, during the interrogation, the player from Roar Shelter also provided a hidden mechanism regarding advancement.
When the ranking on the Shelter Leaderboard enters the top 10, starting the advancement mission allows the player to actively choose a Bronze Rank player, launch an invasion war against them, and achieve victory.
They would receive extremely generous advancement rewards.
But according to Roar, this mechanism was only a rumor; he had never seen anyone actually activate it.
Another issue was player strength.
Players ranked in the top eight thousand had basically all opened their Title Paths and obtained corresponding title abilities.
It's just that there were many different kinds of Title Paths, each unique. Some were exceptionally powerful, while others only provided some auxiliary functions.
Take the player from Roar Shelter for example. The Title Path he opened was called [Breeding Master].
This was solely because before entering the game, his job was specifically breeding and mating pet dogs.
After entering the game, he captured two stray dogs and restarted his breeding business.
When the first litter of puppies was born, he naturally triggered the conditions and opened the [Breeding Master] Title Path.
He also obtained the [Breeder] title, with the effect of increasing the pregnancy success rate by +50% when mating animals, a 30% probability of increasing the litter size by one, and a 2% probability of triggering the "High-Quality Offspring" effect, breeding a powerful individual.
It was precisely by relying on this Title Path that he cultivated one powerful hunting dog after another, and his shelter's ranking rose to its current level.
The reason he didn't bring hunting dogs this time was because in a previous invasion war, all his dogs had been killed by someone, and the new hunting dogs were still in the breeding stage.
And the person who killed those dogs was the master of Moss Cottage Shelter——Xiao Wu!
He was also Roar's master.
He came this time because he received an order from Xiao Wu, telling him to find the location of Yu Yuan Shelter, then find a place to hide for 7 days, and report the information to Xiao Wu.
As for why Xiao Wu became his master...
Yu Yuan took out four sharp canine teeth.
These were knocked out from Roar's mouth.
[Blood Slave's Teeth]
Quality: Rock
Introduction: Carries a faint trace of spirituality. Perhaps you can add them when forging weapons; maybe there will be some unexpected gains.
"Blood Slave!"
This term made Yu Yuan think of many things.
Although he already knew the situation he wanted to understand, Yu Yuan still had no intention of hanging up the "No War" sign.
Instead, he continued to wait for other players to launch invasion wars against him. He urgently needed a large number of survival points right now, and these players were undoubtedly excellent relief supplies.
The only thing Yu Yuan hoped for was that they wouldn't appear in strange places like Blood Wolf Shelter did, causing him to be unable to even loot the corpses.
Also, he finally understood why Blood Wolf and Roar didn't have many survival points. All their survival points had been taken away by Xiao Wu. He was simply a beast.
In today's Chat Channel, a peculiar scene appeared.
Every few hours, an elimination message would appear about a player being killed by Yu Yuan Shelter.
The spectating players went from initial surprise to later habituation, and then to later indifference.
As the dagger was pulled out from the player's body, Yu Yuan collected the scattered items on the ground into the Rabbit Ring and left the Motel Main Guest Room.
This was the fourth player.
The spoils of war piled up together in the warehouse.
Of the two players who invaded later, besides one still being sent by Xiao Wu, the other was also a veteran player who had been in the game for over a year.
Thinking that Yu Yuan had been fighting continuously for a day, he launched the invasion with the idea of picking up the scraps, but he never expected to be discovered by Yu Yuan the moment he landed and captured directly.
His strength and equipment were also quite good, basically comparable to an average thug from the Thugs faction.
Although they seemed somewhat inadequate in front of Yu Yuan, among the player community, they were still considered decent.
It wasn't that they were too weak, but that Yu Yuan held the home-field advantage, and his defenses were too overpowered.
Yu Yuan now basically had a general understanding of the strength of the player community.
"Players ranked above eight thousand basically have firearms in their hands, it's just a matter of quantity. Judging from the strength of these players, selling the weapons from the warehouse now wouldn't pose too great a threat to me..."
Yu Yuan calculated silently in his heart.
"Then sell them! First, put the pistols, submachine guns, and shotguns on the market to see the effect, then decide whether to list the assault rifles."
"And ammunition..."
As consumables, ammunition had never been cheap. Some special bullets might even be more expensive than a cold weapon.
But this also gave Yu Yuan an opportunity. For him, 9mm caliber bullets and shotgun shells weren't of much use.
Since it was confirmed that selling these weapons wouldn't pose a threat to him.
It was more cost-effective to sell them as soon as possible in exchange for survival points than to keep them.
As for the Civilization Treasure Chests rewarded after winning the last two invasions, they only yielded two Bronze Treasure Chests, opening one Excellent-grade [Defense - High Voltage Electric Fence] and one [War Token], better than nothing.
However, the chest from Roar Shelter yielded something interesting.
