Online Game: Lord Of The Wheel Of Destiny

Chapter 34: Chapter 34: Heading to Zone 18



At this moment, Jiang Kai's mind was buzzing.

The "Chasing Nine Tribulations" could achieve a critical hit rate of up to 90%. As long as his luck wasn't too bad, he could basically land one critical hit after a full combo.

If he were lucky, it might even be three or four critical hits.

In his mind, Jiang Kai made the most extreme calculation: if the critical hit occurred with the ninth dart, it would still increase critical damage by 90% at that time.

'Then, combined with my "Super Critical" talent, wouldn't that result in 380 times the damage of a critical hit?'

Thinking of this outcome, Jiang Kai felt a chill run down his spine.

This set of "Chasing Nine Tribulations" was simply tailored for him. Could it be that Brother Lu Jun, who Nuannuan mentioned, knew about his situation and specifically found this weapon as a reward for him?

Jiang Kai couldn't be certain, but he also understood that since Lu Jun was part of the military, it didn't matter even if he did know.

"What's the deal with this? A Tier-One, Rank-Five reward, and this is all he gets? Jiang Kai, don't worry, I'll help you get better gear later." Yuan Zhu spoke up for Jiang Kai, feeling indignant.

Su Nuannuan felt especially apologetic and didn't know how to comfort him.

After all, she knew Lu Jun. Brother Lu Jun had given her such a great treasure, yet the reward for Jiang Kai was like this…

Deng Chang frowned and said, "Hey, Jiang Kai, the description says this is the Tier-One version of 'Chasing Nine Tribulations.' Could there be a Tier-Two, or even higher-tier versions? Maybe the attributes improve at higher tiers."

Facing everyone's concern, Jiang Kai didn't know how to respond for a moment.

'What are they doing? Comforting me?'

'No, no, no! Sorry, folks, your boy doesn't need it.'

"Ahem, it's fine. Having something is better than nothing," Jiang Kai brushed them off with a casual remark and quickly put away the "Chasing Nine Tribulations."

Xia Tao felt a bit awkward. His intention had been to make the journey more enjoyable for the newcomers, but it had ended up like this instead.

At that moment, he turned around and noticed a city appearing in the distance.

"Ha-ha! We've entered Zone 18. Do you see that city over there? That's the main city of Zone 18."

Everyone was drawn in by Xia Tao's words and looked into the distance. Sure enough, they could vaguely see a city standing tall.

The convoy traveled for another ten minutes and finally arrived at the outer post of the city.

Xia Tao led the group on foot toward the city. While walking, he explained to the newcomers.

"There are a few points I need to mention."

"The area within 10 miles of Zone 18's main city is a safe zone, but it's not as secure as Huaxia City. After all, this main city was recently built, so wild beasts occasionally appear. Don't let your guard down."

"Once you leave the safe zone, you'll encounter a large number of wild beasts."

"I know many of you have connections, but I'll emphasize this again: when you reach Zone 18, find a reliable organization to join. Otherwise, with your current strength, encountering wild beasts will mean certain death "

While saying this, Xia Tao's gaze focused particularly on Jiang Kai.

From Huang Wei, he had learned that Jiang Kai likely had no backing, so this point was especially important for him.

"In Jiangzhong City, there are many guilds. The most powerful are the branches of Huaxia's top ten guilds. Next are the various professional guilds, and in the third tier are Jiangzhong City's four local guilds."

"Apart from these large guilds, there are also medium and small guilds. You can decide for yourselves which guild to join."

"The main city of Zone 18 has 12 major districts, including the Login District, Unified Command District, Military District, Trading District, Rest Area, Guild District, and Medical District. You can explore them on your own once you're inside."

"However, the city is only our base camp. Most people will level up in the wild, just like in Huaxia City."

"You rarely see the super-powerful individuals from Huaxia's War God Hall in Huaxia City, right?"

"No matter which guild you join, remember one thing: once the strong players in Zone 18 eliminate the boss in a designated area, return to the city immediately. The entire city will enter a state of preparation, and all guilds must obey military orders to support the construction of the new main city."

After speaking, Xia Tao's expression turned serious. "The 'Destiny's calling' is not just a game. The development of Ghost Planet is also a competition between nations. Never forget this."

"Alright, let's head to the Teleportation Zone now. Once you complete your registration, my guide mission will be finished, and you'll be free to act on your own."

Xia Tao quickened his pace without realizing it.

From the post station to the main city of Zone 18, it took about seven to eight minutes on foot.

As they neared the main city, Jiang Kai noticed that the number of stationed soldiers outside the city was several times greater than in Huaxia City.

It seemed Xia Tao was right. The main city of Zone 18 had been newly built, and the surrounding area had not yet been fully cleared.

When the city guards saw Xia Tao, they approached and greeted him. "Old Xia, you're back? Are these the newcomers from Jiangzhong City… Huh, so few of them?"

Xia Tao shook his head and sighed. "Nothing we can do. You know how it is. The actions of smugglers are becoming more rampant lately. What's worse, we don't have any professions that can enter the Newcomer Trial Zone."

Hearing this, the guard could only sigh. "Without countermeasures, we can only take the hits. It's so frustrating."

"I'll take them in now."

"Go ahead."

Upon entering the city, Jiang Kai felt as if he had stepped back into ancient Huaxia. The buildings were mostly low brick structures with curved eaves and old-fashioned doors and windows, all reflecting a distinctly ancient architectural style.

Given Huaxia's long history, in the absence of advanced technology, the construction of main cities often emulated ancient designs, which were both scientific and visually appealing.

The main city of Zone 18 was bustling. The streets were crowded with people, and shops and residences were neatly organized along the way.

Yuan Zhu, feeling like a country bumpkin visiting the city, curiously observed everything around him. "Feels like we've traveled back to the Tang Dynasty."

Unfortunately, before he could enjoy the sights, Xia Tao had already led them to the Teleportation Zone.

"Each of you, stand in a teleportation circle for a return transfer. You'll be sent back to Jiangzhong City. Once you've completed this transfer, you'll be able to log in directly here next time." Xia Tao explained, "Oh, and one more thing: newcomers have a one-time privilege. After logging out, you can log back in immediately. After that, you'll have to wait in line for 10 to 20 days to log back in."

"If you log out due to death, you'll be forced to wait a month before logging back in."

Having endured the hardships of the Newcomer Trial, most people were eager to use the teleportation circle.

However, Jiang Kai, Yuan Zhu, and Su Nuannuan didn't rush. The three gathered together.

After a brief silence, Su Nuannuan smiled slightly, extended her hand, and looked at Jiang Kai and Yuan Zhu.

"I won't say too many thanks because I believe our fate doesn't end here." Su Nuannuan said confidently. "I hope we'll have the chance to team up again in the future."

Yuan Zhu smiled and placed his hand on top of Su Nuannuan's. "That's a given."

Jiang Kai smiled faintly. Su Nuannuan was still too young. Given her background, there probably wouldn't be many opportunities to team up again in the future.

However, he didn't want to ruin the atmosphere. He placed his hand on Yuan Zhu's and nodded. "I hope so."

After making their pact, Su Nuannuan pulled Jiang Kai aside and whispered mysteriously, "Brother Lu Jun asked me to give you a message."

"Hm?" Jiang Kai was surprised.

"He said, after logging out, don't log back in immediately. Go home first."

"Why?" Jiang Kai asked curiously.

"I don't know. He just told me to pass on this message. He didn't explain further."

Jiang Kai nodded thoughtfully.

Speculating now would only lead to guesses. He would find out once he got home.
