"Monster siege..."
Lin Chen's interest was piqued.
According to the game's description, the Dimensional World would arrange different types of trials for players, including wild monsters, secret realms, dungeons, and so on.
This naturally included monster sieges.
However, the activation of a monster siege required the system to decide based on the players' development progress.
When the game system deemed the time right, it would initiate this event, and players would need to actively respond and defend their bases.
At the same time, after the event, a Dimensional Ranking for the monster siege activity would be listed based on the performance of each base.
The higher the ranking, the more generous the rewards received after the event!
Lin Chen had known these rules for a long time, but he hadn't expected that a monster siege could also be initiated by a specific player.
He clicked to view the details and quickly read through the rules.
As the prompt stated, by completing the hidden condition, he could actively initiate one monster siege, but it was limited to his own Survival Base.
Was there even a need to think about it?
Lin Chen showed a mischievous smile, reached his hand into the light screen, and gently crushed the beast's head.
This action signified accepting the siege challenge!
"Roar!"
The beast roared and disappeared, and the system prompt sounded immediately.
[You have initiated a Monster Siege event. In one hour, a large number of monsters will spawn in the eastern area outside the First Survival Base and launch an attack on the base!]
[Dimensional Announcement: Players of the First Survival Base, please note, player 'Peerless Dust' has initiated a Monster Siege event. In one hour, monsters will begin their attack from the eastern area outside the base. Please prepare!](Click to view rule details)
[Monster Siege Countdown: 00:59:59!]
The Dimensional Chat Channel had just opened, allowing communication between the five major Survival Bases within the Dimensional World, and it was already bustling.
With this announcement, the chat channel instantly exploded.
"What the hell? Did I hear that right? Our base is going to have a monster siege? That's too fast!"
"No, wait, shouldn't monster siege events be for the entire Dimension? Why is Dimensional World No. 1 the only one with a siege, and only targeting our First Survival Base? That's unfair!"
Nian Shao You Wei (Fourth Survival Base): "Didn't you guys get it? This siege event was initiated by Peerless Dust from your First Base. I really don't know where he got the authority, it might be related to him being the first to reach Level 10, but this is too reckless..."
Players from other Survival Bases reminded them.
"Peerless Dust? Damn, it really is him. Is he sick?!"
"@Peerless Dust, are you crazy? Of course, you don't care since you level up so fast, but we don't have that strength. Are you trying to kill people by starting a monster siege now?!"
Hegemon-King of Western Chu (First Survival Base): "@Peerless Dust, come out and explain yourself!"
Soon, players from the First Survival Base realized the crux of the problem, and many began to complain.
A monster siege was no joke.
The existence of the base was not merely to protect players.
Firstly, players could spend points at the "Core Crystal Stele" of their affiliated Survival Base to exchange for equipment and supplies.
If the base was breached, they would only be able to level up near other Survival Bases.
But that would come with an experience discount, and the cost of exchanging items at other Core Crystal Steles would double.
Even the cost of buying potions from the public shop would increase.
This was also why they were angry—this Peerless Dust was too inconsiderate of the bigger picture!
On the other side, Lin Chen opened the Dimensional Communication Channel and, sure enough, saw a large number of people complaining.
"Explain to you?"
Lin Chen's face showed no joy or anger, completely unconcerned, and he spoke for the first time in the public communication channel:
"I don't need to explain my actions to anyone, and I don't need any reason!"
"If anyone is dissatisfied, just come find me. Consequences are at your own risk."
After speaking, Lin Chen ignored them and closed the communication light screen.
The Dimensional Chat Channel was silent for a second.
Immediately, waves of angry voices rose one after another:
"Bastard!"
"This guy is too arrogant!"
"Does he really think he's invincible? We're at least players from the same base, he should at least consider other people's feelings!"
"Reckless and completely disregardful of the bigger picture, this guy is definitely a dangerous person..."
...All sorts of negative comments about Peerless Dust kept appearing.
"Peerless Dust, you're stealing my thunder and trying to kill me, you infuriating bastard!"
In a certain leveling spot, Hegemon-King of Western Chu's face was ashen.
He was already very annoyed about not getting the first kill on the BOSS.
Then Peerless Dust stirred up a monster siege, completely disregarding the interests of others.
This made Hegemon-King of Western Chu even more furious, his inner jealousy burning brighter, with nowhere to vent.
[Player 'Mastering the Rivers and Mountains' requests to add you as a friend. Accept?]
While he was annoyed, a prompt sounded.
"Mastering the Rivers and Mountains? Someone from the Second Survival Zone, what does this guy want with me?"
Hegemon-King of Western Chu hesitated slightly and accepted the request... "Check the Level Ranking!"
Lin Chen opened the Level Ranking to see the level gap between himself and others.
[Level Ranking] (Dimensional World No. 1)
First Place: Peerless Dust LV10 (1%), Class: Archer, Affiliated Base: First Survival Base.
Second Place: Mastering the Rivers and Mountains LV6 (1%), Class: Swordsman, Affiliated Base: Second Survival Base.
Third Place: Shiyu Jie LV5 (90%), Class: Swordsman, Affiliated Base: Second Survival Base.
Fourth Place: Hegemon-King of Western Chu LV5 (62%), Class: Mage, Affiliated Base: First Survival Base.
Fifth Place: Qing Ming LV5 (40%), Class: Assassin, Affiliated Base: Fifth Survival Base.
Sixth Place: Nian Shao You Wei LV5 (31%), Class: Shield Guard, Affiliated Base: Fourth Survival Base... As Lin Chen expected, other people's levels were not high, with the second place being 4 levels behind him.
And this gap would definitely grow larger from now on.
Lin Chen closed the ranking and stopped leveling, sitting down cross-legged on the spot.
"Choose to further integrate the Divinity!"
Boom!
The Divinity within his body immediately reacted, deepening its integration... [This integration is complete. The Divinity can be further unlocked!]
