Online Game: Low Drop Rate? I Have a Guaranteed Drop System!

Three system announcements rang out. Near the ruins of Novice Village No. 433, a city was beginning to take shape from the ground.

Players who were watching from a distance finally realized what was going on.This military operation by the military was not targeting the Dark Forest at all.Instead, they were trying to build a city.

Johnnie had clearly made a deal with the military.

The world chat channel once again stirred up a big commotion.

There was a lot of excitement.

"Is Johnnie Guru going to build a city?"

"Is this because he’s scared of being targeted by the Universe Continent cities? He wants to build his own city to hide in?"

"Come on, Johnnie Guru is invincible."

"Building a city requires a City Establishment Order, right? That item only drops from stage 7 epic bosses. Where did Johnnie Guru get one from?"

"Does anyone know where The Chinese City is? I, Frostcrow Alliance, am willing to help defend it."

"Novice Village No. 433 ruins – come quickly. The city has appeared and a Beast Wave may hit at any moment."

"This is the first city ever built. Whether it’s successful or not, I have to go see it."

...

The chat channel was full of discussion.

Many players from all over the world started to gather.

There were also quite a few foreign forces, who rushed in quickly, with their own intentions.

Johnnie wasn’t paying any attention to that.

He was busy inside the city.

"Vivian, get your people to build a resurrection altar and a warehouse right away." Johnnie ordered.

The Chinese City was still just a rough outline, with only the walls.

Otherwise, the city was completely empty, with no buildings.

"Sir, don’t worry. I’ll take care of it." Vivian responded, and immediately ordered the Solaris City craftsmen to build the resurrection altar and the warehouse.

To resist the Beast Wave, a resurrection altar was essential.Players who died could be revived at the altar and immediately return to the battle.

And the warehouse was also crucial.All of Johnnie’s weapons and equipment that he had gathered over the past period were stored in Vivian’s Solaris City and with Dylan and others.

With the warehouse, everything could be transferred in, and given freely to the Second Front soldiers and the Yett family’s children.

The gear he had collected was mostly stage 3 and above.

But the current player strength was still too weak.If their strength improved, arming this ten-thousand-soldier army would be no problem.

Everyone was working in an orderly way.The soldiers had all arrived at the city walls, digging trenches and traps, and setting up defenses.More players were gathering here.

They were hiding from a distance, watching in curiosity to see what the scene of a Beast Wave attacking a city would be like.

"Johnnie, we’re here." at this moment, Crysic and the girls arrived.

"This is the top-grade Mana Potion you asked for." she said, taking out a large pile of Mana Potions and handing them to Johnnie.

Top-grade Mana Potion – it restored 200 Mana points per second for 100 seconds.Each one cost 100 gold coins.They were only sold by level 4 and above cities.

This pile of potions totaled 10,000 units, costing Johnnie a million gold coins.

But as long as he could hold off the Beast Wave attack and successfully build the city, this investment was completely worth it.

Johnnie took the potions and looked at the group, then said, "Crysic, you and the others go to the eastern wall and help the Yett Family defend the city."

"No problem." they said, and went to the eastern wall, where more than 300 Yett Family members and 5,000 Solaris City guards were already ready, waiting for the Beast Wave to arrive.

The western and southern walls also had 100,000 troops gathered, forming a defensive formation, ready and waiting.

On the city wall, Liam looked around, and Dylan was standing right next to him.

"Nobody on the northern wall?" he frowned and asked, confused.

The northern part of the city was facing the Dark Forest, which was the most dangerous area. It should have been heavily defended.

Dylan explained, "Liam, the northern wall is handled by Johnnie. One person is enough."

"One person?" Liam clearly doubted it, but he didn’t interfere.

There was an order above: Johnnie had the highest authority, and no one was allowed to question him.

"Ugh, this kind of city defense is so boring." he said, looking down at the well-prepared army with a bored expression.

Dylan quickly warned, "Liam, don’t go off the rails."

Liam’s tactics were strange. Even in a defensive battle, he didn’t follow the usual rules. Many of his decisions were hard for normal people to understand, but they always ended up working well.

He looked at Dylan and said, "Dylan, you’re in charge of this battle."

"What? Me?" Dylan pointed at himself, shocked, and quickly said, "Liam, you’re joking. I don’t have the ability for this."

He knew his own limits. Commanding 10,000 soldiers was already his limit. If there was any mistake, the loss would be tens of thousands of soldiers’ lives, and he couldn’t take that risk.

Plus, this city-building was very important. No mistakes could be made.

Liam coldly said, "What are you afraid of? In the game, death isn’t real. This is a rare chance for you to get some training. And I’ll back you up. Just go ahead, don’t be afraid of making mistakes. You’ll be punished after the battle is over."

"Ah?" Dylan was speechless. He thought Liam might say he wouldn’t be punished for mistakes.

But commanding 100,000 troops did sound tempting, and he was actually eager to try.

"Okay, Liam, I’ll try!" Dylan wasn’t the type to hesitate, and he took over the command right away.

Roar... roar...

Suddenly, loud monster roars echoed, shaking the mountains, and countless monsters gathered.

[Ding.Beast Wave attack starting in 1 minute, 59, 58...]

The soldiers defending the city all received the message, and the countdown appeared on their screens.

Everyone gripped their weapons tightly, nervous and excited. This was their first time facing a Beast Wave attack.

Boom... boom...

From the northern side of the city, the sound of battle began to rise.

It wasn’t the Beast Wave attacking early. It was Johnnie who had already entered the Dark Forest passage, blocking the entrance by himself and beginning a brutal massacre.

The weakest monsters here were Stage 3 Dark Spiders.

Whoosh...

Several webs shot out, flying through the air and spreading wide, trying to trap him.

Johnnie showed no fear. He used Fire-Control to melt the webs easily, then rushed into the Dark Spider army, and used the Great Transformation Sword Technique. The Void Sword roared as he attacked with broad strokes and open strikes.

He didn’t rush to use The Technique of Swordsmanship for Controlling Swords or other attack methods yet. He needed to quickly stack the passive effect of the Great Transformation Sword Technique to prepare for the stronger Beast Waves that were coming.

Sssss... sssss...

The screams kept coming, and these Dark Spiders were no match for him. They all fell under his blade, dying in agony.

The Great Transformation Sword Technique’s damage and attack speed kept stacking. The loot scattered around was mostly Stage 3, gray or white weapons and gear.

[Ding, Beast Wave attack has started.]

The countdown ended, and a new message appeared.

Boom... boom...

The ground trembled. Endless Beast Waves were coming from all directions, rushing toward the city.

Luckily, the first wave wasn’t too strong. It was just the beginner village Demonic Creatures.

Weak goblins, half-orcs, and werewolves...

Dylan immediately ordered, "Mages and archers, fire a full area attack. Warriors, knights, and assassins, push forward. Don’t let the monster horde cross the first line of defense."

"Understood." the soldiers responded and immediately started moving.

The 100,000 troops worked in perfect coordination. Arrows flew through the sky, and magic roared as they hit the incoming Beast Wave.

Boom... boom...

The explosions kept coming. A large number of monsters were killed.

The close-range troops pushed forward and easily blocked the first wave of the Beast Wave attack.

Unfortunately, these monsters were only Stage 1, too weak. Now the soldiers had all been upgraded to at least Stage 2, so they couldn’t gain any experience.

Liam wasn’t paying attention to the battle here. He stood on the wall, watching the fight on the northern side of the city.

Roar... roar...

Monster roars and screams echoed, but no monster was visible. It seemed like they were really trapped in the Dark Forest passage.

He was a bit surprised and asked, "Dylan, are the monsters from the Dark Forest also beginner village creatures?"

Dylan was focused on the battle below. He looked up and said, "No. Johnnie said the weakest monsters in the Dark Forest are Stage 3."

"Stage 3 monsters?" Liam was shocked and asked, "What kind of strength does this Johnnie have?"

He had already noticed the change in the level rankings. Johnnie was at the top, at Stage 4, level 1.

Even if a player reached Stage 4, they would still be no match for a Stage 3 Beast Wave.

Dylan said, "Liam, I already told you. Johnnie isn’t just strong. He’s insane. One man is worth an entire army."

"Is that so?" Liam became even more curious about Johnnie.

Roar... roar...

More roars echoed through the forest, and more monsters kept coming from the surrounding woods. A black mass, endless and overwhelming, even including Stage 2 Demonized Treants.

The soldiers felt some pressure.

This was just the first wave of the Beast Wave. The monsters that came later would be even stronger.

Dylan’s expression turned serious. The strength of the Beast Wave had exceeded his expectations, and he had a bad feeling in his gut.

"Order the troops to fall back to the first line of defense. Fight with all your strength to stop the Beast Wave. Don’t let the monsters cross the first line." he ordered immediately in the group chat.

The soldiers moved quickly, retreating in an orderly way, pulling back their lines and focusing on stopping and killing the monsters that kept coming.

Players watching from the distance started to talk among themselves.

"This is already Stage 2 monsters. Can the soldiers hold them off?"

"I think it’s risky. The players are still too weak. Even in the weakest part of the forest, building a city here might not be possible."

"The scariest part isn’t these beginner village Demonic Creatures. It’s the Dark Forest. The weakest there are already Stage 3 monsters."

"Dark Forest? Oh, right, why aren’t any monsters coming from the northern side of the city?" someone noticed something strange and asked, puzzled.

They were far away, but they could still see the northern part of the city. No monsters were appearing at all.

"Are the monsters from the Dark Forest not coming out?" one person asked, confused.

Among the crowd, many players had bad intentions and were getting restless.

Most of them were Western Alliance players. They would never let the Dragon Nation be the first to build a city.

Roar... roar...

Roars and battle cries kept echoing.

Dozens of Demonized Treants kept coming out of the forest, and some soldiers were already being injured.

But luckily, the monster army hadn’t broken through the first line of defense yet.

Dylan still wasn’t letting his guard down. He kept a close eye on the battlefield and directed the fight.

More and more Demonized Treants were dying, and luckily, no new monsters were coming from the forest. The first wave of the Beast Wave was nearing its end.
