Chapter 1297 Opportunity

The news of the level cap increase didn't cause panic in the pro scene, but it didn't elicit the joyous reaction it did from the players either. Pro players still went about their business. It was the other departments of the clubs that had to ramp up their operations at this time. The logistics departments began to take stock of materials, because all of the existing Silver equipment would need to be upgraded, charging into the unknown level territory. The powerful consumption of materials could very well deplete years of accumulation in a single day.

The club guilds also strengthened their efforts in group dungeon runs. Although temporarily embracing the Buddha's feet might not be of much use, at this time, it was mainly a matter of showing attitude, letting the boss see that everyone attached importance to the matter!

Dungeon materials were still relatively easy to guarantee; the difficult part was the rare materials from wild field bosses. Especially in the Heavenly Domain, when push came to shove, in order to show importance and attitude, the major guilds disregarded their usual restraint and sent out all their members. At this time, numbers were king, resulting in corpses strewn everywhere. Even Ye Xiu's alliance seemed a bit overwhelmed by this momentum. It was too chaotic and disorganized. The battles between the major guilds no longer focused on awareness or coordination; it was all about one thing: charging.

Charging back and forth, no one could figure out how the Boss ended up in the hands of that one guild.

This chaos lasted for about a week. After all the guild leaders had shown their worth, the struggles gradually returned to their original principles.

Rare materials were precious. But after so many years, each guild couldn't possibly have no accumulation. In fact, everyone knew that what would really affect the overall situation were the newly appeared level 75 dungeons and Bosses.

The level 75 materials dropped from these locations were the true deciding factors. And these new dungeons, new Bosses, not to mention how to compete for them, just figuring out how to kill them would require a lot of research. What kind of bloody storm would the expansion pack bring? It was already imaginable. Even the Electronic Sports Weekly had a themed report on the expansion pack news, of course, all analyzed from the perspective of its impact on the trends of the pro league.

The official was also gradually revealing the specific details of the expansion pack.

First, it was announced that the ordinary server and the Heavenly Domain would be further expanded, each with six new areas. These six areas would undoubtedly be the main scenes of player activity for at least the next year.

And six areas also meant at least six dungeons and six wild field Bosses. Currently, the official had released detailed information on one area each for the ordinary server and the Heavenly Domain. Naturally, the Heavenly Domain was receiving more attention.

Lieping Mountain Range was the name of the new level 75 scene announced for the Heavenly Domain, a new area derived from the northernmost end of the Heavenly Domain.

And among these seemingly endless, screen-like mountain ranges, lay the main city of the region: Qianshan City.

Qianshan City was not large, but it was a vital location for guarding these mountains. And now, a pile of internal and external troubles were waiting for the brave to solve them, a background story that was naturally indispensable in game settings, but the pro scene didn't know anything about this.

What the pro scene was paying attention to was the other information released about the Lieping Mountain Range in this wave of news.

The Lieping Mountain Range would have two five-person dungeons, one ten-person dungeon, one twenty-person dungeon, and one hundred-person dungeon.

Shadow Military Advisor, Sha Han, was the wild field Boss of the Lieping Mountain Range, a character conceived based on the background story here. Of course, this kind of background was not what the pro scene cared about. Everyone cared about what class Sha Han was, what skills he had, what ultimate moves he had, and what good things he dropped.

The official didn't release detailed information about these things. Just a one minute and forty-seven second demonstration video showing players how powerful the Shadow Military Advisor Sha Han was.

The one minute and forty-seven second video was repeatedly paused and studied by the major teams. It was initially determined that Sha Han should belong to the Dark Night class, and the skills shown in the demonstration spanned the Warlock, Ninja, and Assassin classes.

This wild field Boss was supremely powerful, but ordinary players didn't really pay much attention to it. Because old players already knew that this top-level difficulty content was basically out of reach for them and was something for the major club guilds to compete for.

Players were more concerned about dungeons, something they could also experience. At the same time, players were also quite interested in the background story that the pro scene completely ignored. Not long after the information was released, people were already commenting on the background story, with sighs, exclamations, and even fan fiction snippets already written...

The game company cooperated with the promotion, also creating various offline activities to strengthen interaction with players. For a time, the Glory circle was lively, and everyone was happily welcoming the update that had been awaited for three years. For a time, the pro scene, which symbolized the highest level, seemed like a spectator. Players were feeling joy, while the pro scene was filled with more utilitarianism for the sake of victory.

Excellent Era Club.

When this news was first announced, Cui Li, Chen Yehui, and others were overjoyed. Just like Wei Chen immediately realized that this was a very unfavorable situation for Happy, they also immediately realized that this could be considered another insurance for their Excellent Era.

Cui Li didn't say a word and immediately convened a meeting of various departments. The usual nonsense about preparing to welcome the new expansion pack was of course said at the meeting. Then, he directly addressed Chen Yehui's guild department, telling them that they must organize their forces and strengthen the plundering of information after the new dungeons and new Bosses appeared.

When Cui Li said this to Chen Yehui, it was particularly meaningful. Chen Yehui was also an old partner of his, and he understood him very well. When Cui Li said this, he immediately took over the conversation, first expressing his department's attitude, and then began to analyze the current situation.

"I think this is actually a great opportunity for our Excellent Era," Chen Yehui said. "Although we are currently in the Challenger League, I think none of you here are only focused on the Challenger League. Tyranny, Blue Rain, Tiny Herb, Samsara... Although we are not in the same arena as them this season, only they are our Excellent Era's long-term opponents. But this season, they have to deal with the pro league on the one hand, and face the update of the new expansion pack on the other hand. Their workload will definitely be very high. On the contrary, because we are only in the Challenger League, we can have some more energy to put into the research of the new expansion pack. Make ample preparations, and just return to the league next season, and defeat them utterly. Such an opportunity is a blessing in disguise. Although it is valuable, I don't think anyone wants to have it again. So I think everyone should pay more attention and see how we can maximize the strength of the team under such an opportunity."

Chen Yehui spoke eloquently, but when he spoke, intentionally or unintentionally, his eyes often stayed on the team's captain and vice-captain, Sun Xiang and Xiao Shiqin.

Everyone present was a high-level executive of the club, a core member. How could anyone's brain not be working? Seeing Chen Yehui's frequent positioning gaze, and then thinking carefully about what he said, they immediately understood what this guy was up to. This guy was hoping that the pro players on the team could go to the game and do some labor!

This season was the Challenger League, but the work of departments like theirs was still proceeding as usual. Only the team, although also with one match per week, but against these mediocre opponents, the players of Excellent Era didn't need to go all out. This season was like a vacation for these players. In the past leagues, pro players wouldn't run to the game to mess around, because they were afraid of disrupting their state and rhythm and affecting their performance. But in such a leisurely Challenger League for Excellent Era, there was naturally no such concern.

It was just that this was not the responsibility of pro players after all, and the club couldn't force them to do so. So Chen Yehui had to give some hints in his words, hoping that these two captains could understand the meaning of his words and show some awareness!

Everyone's eyes turned to the two of them. When Cui Li saw this, he took the opportunity to call out their names: "The team must also actively respond to the expansion pack update!"

Captain Sun Xiang saw that it was time for him to express his attitude! He cleared his throat and said, "That's right. The new expansion pack brings a new level cap, and the attributes and skills of the characters will be different from before. In the league, we can only explore and compete at the same time, and it is inevitable that there will be omissions. We can immerse ourselves in research, but it is a pity that the opponents in the Challenger League basically cannot become touchstones. It seems that we need to watch more pro matches to verify!"

Sun Xiang finished speaking with a look of emotion, but the heads of the various departments in the room all had black lines on their faces.

What a blockhead! He didn't understand what the manager and Chen Yehui were singing in harmony. He was still seriously analyzing how the team should face the new expansion pack.

Although your analysis is correct, I'm sorry, you're off topic! Young man! You're still far from it. Look at the one next to you, he understands it very well.

Everyone saw that when Sun Xiang finished speaking triumphantly, Xiao Shiqin next to him had a slightly embarrassed look on his face. Obviously, he heard that the club was hoping that the pro players on their team would do something, but unfortunately, Sun Xiang didn't understand the implication and was still discussing the matter on its merits. Since the words were only spoken to this point, he had to go up and fill in the gaps for him. Such a captain is really not as good as Zhou Zekai, who basically only says "uh, ah, oh"!

Xiao Shiqin was experienced after all, and it was not difficult for him to fill in the gaps, and immediately continued the topic: "It's just that through the Challenger League, the quality is not high and the number is small. I think we can find other opportunities for practical testing."

"Oh? You mean arrange some invitational friendly matches? It's the middle of the season, I'm afraid no team will accept, right?" Sun Xiang said.

You guy... you're hopeless! Xiao Shiqin was speechless in an instant.
