Chapter 882 The Last Throw

Each subsequent hour of dropping goods was a variety show, with no repetition. Hanging ultra-low-priced consignment auctions, sending emails directly to randomly selected players, posting announcements on the forum asking players to send emails to Brother You, and then randomly drawing prizes to send back, etc.

Some players who were neither too far nor too close to Cloudrise and Moonlit Night City were now full of regret. Because the journey was too far, they thought they would definitely not make it on foot, but who knew that the other party would throw things in such a way, and this toss lasted all day. If they had known the news last night and set off immediately, they would have walked for more than ten hours to reach their destination. Although it would have delayed the opening rounds, they would not have missed the later parts.

But what about now? No one knew when Extremely Heaven-Defying would stop throwing, and whether to start walking on the road from this moment became a heart disease for these players who were neither too far nor too close. If they didn't go and the other party kept throwing for three days, they might miss their good luck. If they went and the other party finished throwing halfway, it would also be a blood-spitting thing.

Amidst the tangle, players each made their own plans, some immediately set off, and some gritted their teeth and hoped that the event would end quickly. At this time, each additional round of throwing was like giving them a knife—they would have had the opportunity to participate in these rounds if they had set off last night.

According to the statistics of interested people on the forum, the Extremely Heaven-Defying equipment throwing activity has been going on for ten rounds. If the number of fifty is maintained each time, then five hundred items have been thrown continuously, including equipment, accessories, scrolls, living materials, rare quest items, and other popular goods on the market. Lucky players who picked them up, even if they were not needed for their own profession, could exchange them for a considerable income.

What was even more exciting was that after ten rounds, Extremely Heaven-Defying didn't seem to want to stop. It was already twelve o'clock at night, and Cloudrise and Moonlit Night City were still in full swing. Many players hadn't slept since last night and had stayed up until now. Those who were still persisting were all extraordinarily persevering and had a very strong gambling mentality. In addition, there were also many players who looked at the crowds in the two cities and the number of fifty items thrown at a time, and felt that such good luck would not fall on their heads, so they had silently given up. However, this part of the departure did not reveal the vacancy, because some players from farther main cities, who had started on the road since last night, had arrived at the two places after more than ten or even twenty hours of long journey. This shows that even the most persevering people cannot resist the temptation of unearned income.

"What are we going to do in the next round?" the members of the throwing group asked in the Extremely Heaven-Defying guild channel.

"I can't throw anymore, let's throw it tomorrow!" Yu Tian Shen Ming complained. At first, he found it interesting to see the scene of players scrambling, but after repeating it again and again, he began to feel numb. After this numbness, he began to pay attention to the value of the things at hand again, and the more he threw, the more heartache he felt.

"Why don't we throw it all at once this time?" Yun Zhong Mu said. He and his brothers were not as wicked as Yu Tian Shen Ming, treating other people's scramble as an interesting thing. They were just completing this matter as a task, and it was natural to be tired after running around for a day.

"How much stuff do you guys have on hand?" Han Jia Gongzi said.

Without everyone having to answer one by one, data statistician Brother You reported: "We brought back a total of 774 items from Ying Qi, and now we have thrown a total of 500 items, leaving 274 items."

"If we continue to throw like this, it will take at least five more hours." Many people made vomiting expressions.

"Okay, then in this last time, let's have a climax of excitement!" Han Jia Gongzi said.

"How do you do it, you say." After tossing for a day, everyone's interest in creating a climax had actually faded. They were not Han Jia Gongzi, who was so enthusiastic about this kind of tormenting thing.

"Fifty people, five items each, then we will throw one item every ten minutes, plus the wave thrown at the previous hour, a total of six waves, let everyone have a fulfilling hour!" Han Jia Gongzi said.

"Okay, you say it, we'll do it." Someone said.

"Everyone can do whatever they want in this wave." Han Jia Gongzi said.

"Can we throw it at each other?" Yu Tian Shen Ming asked.

The channel was suddenly silent. Frankly speaking, everyone had some ideas about these good things. Everyone was deliberately avoiding it, fearing that thinking too much would make them unable to resist the temptation. Even if they didn't get something for their own profession, it could be said to be a lot of gold coins!

"Uh, well, I just saw that everyone was not very energetic, so I just made a joke to liven up the atmosphere..." Yu Tian Shen Ming quickly said, even in the chat channel, the sudden silence made him feel the embarrassment of the atmosphere.

Han Jia Gongzi rarely didn't despise him, but just said again: "Everyone, get ready, the time is almost up."

The vigorous final round began like this. Because the previous ten rounds had been very stable, throwing one round per hour, the players had already recognized this setting. Therefore, many people only started preparing when the time was approaching, but they couldn't do anything in this hour, so many people were pondering what way Extremely Heaven-Defying would use to throw equipment in the next round. After throwing ten rounds, the method had not been repeated, and the players felt like they were in a maze.

At this time, the scramble for the previous round had just ended, and it was the most relaxed time for the players. Looking at the time, there were still fifty minutes before the next round. Everyone was bored and killing time in various ways. Suddenly, a figure appeared on the roof of a building in the corner of the main city and shouted, "Equipment is here." Then he disappeared quickly.

No one paid attention.

During this day, it was unknown how many times such pranks had occurred, impersonating Extremely Heaven-Defying to throw equipment. At first, the players were fooled, then they angrily caught the pranksters and abused them, and then they became a little numb. This time, just ten minutes away from throwing equipment, someone came out to do this trick, and everyone despised this guy for being so unskilled in cheating people.

However, among many people, there were still some who were lucky. This group of people obviously had a deep understanding of the shamelessness of Extremely Heaven-Defying after a day of training. They believed that these guys could use any method. This group of people had always been victims of pranks, because they refused to give up any "suspected" opportunities. They were ridiculed by many players, but they did not give up. This time, they finally got their reward. A player who had finally climbed onto the roof suddenly found that there was a piece of equipment really placed on the edge of the roof. The equipment was golden and shiny, and it didn't look like garbage.

The player quickly went over to pick it up and took a look, and immediately fell directly from the roof with happiness, dizzy from the fall, but still shouting in his mouth: "I got it, I got it!!!"

When the surrounding players saw it and thought about it, they realized that this was not a prank, but it was real, and they regretted beating their chests and stomping their feet. And a similar scene was being staged in fifty places in Cloudrise and Moonlit Night City respectively. Although the fifty people's throwing methods were different, the players' reactions were basically the same. Besides surprise, it was still surprise.

"Thrown, thrown, thrown, thrown, already thrown!" This news spread quickly in the two cities. Many guys who were slow to react heard this and still couldn't believe it: "What is thrown, what is thrown?"

"Extremely Heaven-Defying, a new round of things has been thrown!"

"What? Already thrown? Only ten minutes have passed!"

"Who knows, anyway, it's already thrown."

"Damn it, is there any credibility, didn't you say it would be thrown once an hour?"

The surrounding people were silent. After a long while, someone said, "Who said it to you?"

Indeed, throwing once an hour was a rule that the players had summarized themselves. Extremely Heaven-Defying had never publicly said it, although they had always done so.

Annoyance, frustration, cursing. This throw caught too many people off guard, and many players were in a very bad mood, as if they could definitely grab something if they had foreseen this throw in advance.

Just when there was a dead silence, a long string of messages suddenly came from the street: "Thrown, thrown, thrown, thrown again! Extremely Heaven-Defying has thrown again!!"

"Thrown equipment again?"

"Yes, thrown again!"

"Damn it!!" Someone immediately looked at the watch and found that it was exactly ten minutes since the last throw. Combining the last throw, someone immediately realized: "Damn, changed, changed to throwing every ten minutes!!"

This was an easy thing to discover. The players were glad that they found it not too late. Ten minutes! This was a time that passed in a blink of an eye. Everyone rushed to the street, looking for masked heroes everywhere. Masked has become the standard image of throwers in the minds of players in the two cities. Many eyewitnesses said that the throwers were dressed plainly, with no characteristics, but they were all masked.

So masked people have become creatures that players in the two cities hate and love at the moment. Thieves and assassins in the two cities did not dare to wear masks on this day, because it was too dangerous. Such strong emotions, whether it is hate or love, can not stand it!

With Han Jia Gongzi's observation, of course, he had noticed this detail a long time ago, and naturally he had reminded everyone early. Their purpose of masking was not to be recognized, but to avoid being remembered. But now masking has become a special appearance, so naturally this method cannot be used.

So in the following rounds, Extremely Heaven-Defying developed throwing equipment methods that did not require meeting at all, such as email lottery. When the players began to station in the mailbox, they changed to other methods.

And at this moment it was the last time, even if it was remembered, there would be no follow-up impact. The throwers took off their masks and mixed into the crowd to act. The players were still in the era of finding masked people, which was a bit unable to keep up with the pace. Ten minutes passed and no one was found, but fifty items appeared on the street again without a sound.

This time difference was undoubtedly a bit too short, so short that the news of throwing equipment in the previous round had not spread to everyone's ears, and the next round had already begun. Continuous crazy throwing made every player excited. Cloudrise and Moonlit Night City were full of people running around. Everyone really couldn't guess what the guys from Extremely Heaven-Defying would do. Some people climbed to the roof to find suspicious figures, some squatted by the mailbox waiting for the repetition of this mode, and some simply ran to the suburbs. According to statistics, so far no items have been dropped outside the main city. Maybe this method will be used next?

The throwers of Extremely Heaven-Defying really didn't care about the players' psychology at all. In short, they did whatever was convenient, and especially important was to ensure their personal safety. They had seen the guys who had been trying to find the throwers and explode them with malicious intentions. They hadn't heard a thank you after throwing until now, but were exploded. Who can be calm in this situation?

This was the craziest hour of the day, and also the last hour. Throwing every ten minutes, again and again in the middle of the night made the players excited, until the 750th item was thrown. When the players were still waiting for the next ten minutes, a post quickly appeared on the forum.

The next time will be the last time. This time, there will be only one place to throw in each city, but, each place will throw twelve items.

The biggest climax, as expected, appeared at the end. Although the total number of this last time was not as good as any other time, the lucky ones who appeared this time were likely to win all twelve items by themselves. Undoubtedly, they were the final winners of today's prize. The players were excited and uneasy. They all hoped that this throw would appear next to them, but they were worried that this throw would not appear next to them. Time passed by every minute and every second. Everyone didn't know whether to leave or stay. If they left, what if it was thrown in the place they had just passed? If they didn't leave, what if it was thrown in a place they could have reached?

"Dang dang dang"

At this moment, a loud bell suddenly rang in Cloudrise City. Players from other places felt confused, but local players in Cloudrise City knew that this was the sound made by their Cloudrise City bell tower. The system never rang this bell tower at ordinary times, but bored players would often run to knock it randomly from time to time. Today, everyone was trying their best to pick up equipment. Who would have thought of playing with it?

But at this moment, the bell tower was suddenly rung. Everyone looked at the time and found that it was less than two minutes before one o'clock in the morning. Was this knock a signal given to everyone by the people from Extremely Heaven-Defying, indicating that this throw was going to be in the bell tower; or was someone deliberately confusing the public and trying to analyze everyone's attention by creating some suspense at this sensitive time?

Smart people are often misled by their own cleverness. Smart people have too many ideas, afraid that this sudden ringing of the bell tower is a trick. Unlike those straightforward players, when they found such an anomaly, they immediately ran to check it out. They did not run in vain. The location of the last throw activity in Cloudrise City was the bell tower! This knock was a pre-announcement for the players.

There were already people under the bell tower. Hearing this sound, many people had already started running frantically towards the upstairs. However, this bell tower was the tallest building in the entire Cloudrise City. From the bottom to the top, even the fastest players would find it difficult to run through it in two minutes. Moreover, the stairs of the bell tower were spiraling upwards. It was possible to make yourself dizzy if you ran too fast.

These players who were eager to run upstairs were undoubtedly making a mistake. They originally occupied a favorable terrain, but they missed the opportunity because they wanted to be more favorable. Just as they were running halfway up the stairs, and the guys who ran too fast were dizzy and wanted to vomit, they suddenly heard a surging shout coming from outside the building.

Everyone quickly looked for a position where they could look out of the building, and they saw all the players looking up and exclaiming, and something just flashed past their eyes.

That's right, it's equipment, it's scrolls, it's props, it's money, these are all money. They should have been able to stand downstairs, they should have had a chance to receive these loads of money, but because of a temporary misjudgment, they lost this opportunity. They could only watch helplessly as this pie falling from the sky fell into the hands of others. They saw people fighting to the death under the building because of the scramble for these things. They didn't feel tragic at all, only sad for their lost opportunity.

They had no chance for the things, but someone immediately thought that the person throwing the things was still upstairs at this time. They continued to rush up frantically, wanting to try their luck. But where would anyone be on the top floor at this time? Someone would have already flown away with a random teleportation scroll.

Moonlit Night City did not have a bell tower and could not make such a trick. But Moonlit Night City also had their tradition: planting flags.

In this sturdy place, brawls were staged in the leveling area every day. Planting flags was a way they invented to avoid some trouble. They would circle out their own leveling area and plant the flag of their team. For example, the former Ten Guild Alliance, after planting the flag of their Ten Guilds, no one would dare to challenge them anymore. Otherwise, if they always negotiated and brawled with people who came to steal monsters, wouldn't they waste the whole day without leveling up?

At this time, in the center of Moonlit Night City, when there were still two minutes before midnight, such a flag suddenly appeared. This was a flag that players in Moonlit Night City did not recognize. The flag seemed to be made on the spot, and there were no exquisite patterns on it. There was only one big character: Ni (逆). The Ni (逆) of Extremely Heaven-Defying.

This strangely appearing flag caused a commotion among the players. Some people had already guessed that this was some signal given by Extremely Heaven-Defying, but what did this mean? Was it saying that the last round of throwing things was going to be thrown here? But since the flag appeared, this place had been surrounded by a sea of people. How would the people from Extremely Heaven-Defying come out? Teleportation scroll?

Many people thought of this, so everyone immediately began to seize the best position near the flag. The bloody battle that took place in these two minutes was more intense than any previous leveling area battle in the history of Moonlit Night City.

Two minutes passed in a flash, and a white light suddenly appeared in the place where the flag was planted.

It was indeed a teleportation array! The players had guessed correctly, but no one appeared in the teleportation array. What appeared was twelve items piled on the ground. That's right, it was equipment, it was scrolls, it was props, it was money, these were all money.

Crazy scramble, everyone rushed forward regardless of their lives. Some people had already turned into white light halfway. Who would be able to grab it in the end? This was an answer that no one could predict.

At the same time, Brother You's ID on the forum issued another post, announcing the end of this one-day activity.

======================================

The activity of "I throw, you pick" has come to an end. What will be the reaction of all parties to this? Please see the next chapter...
