Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

Chapter 1885 The Team Is Empty

Li Qingran paused and glanced at Fang Heng. ”However, some people might not be willing to join. Forcing an invitation might create unpleasantness.”

Fang Heng understood immediately. Strong players often preferred working alone or being their leader rather than being subordinate to others.

”Letʼs drop it for now.”

Teaming up with unknown players often brought about disputes over authority.

”Itʼs better to leave the team slots empty for now. When specific issues arise during the mission, we can seek players with relevant skills to assist,” Fang Heng suggested.

Li Qingran nodded in agreement, finding the plan reasonable.

Meanwhile, Fang Heng pondered if, upon nearly completing the mission, he could sell the empty team slots for a lucrative profit.

After all, it promised grandmaster-level necromancy studies! He vowed only to trade it for something equally valuable.

”Letʼs head to Ciboreya first.”

”Yes, agreed.”

After a brief discussion, the two left the Tower of Bones and headed towards the teleportation tower.

...

Amidst numerous mid-tier game worlds, Ciboreya was relatively stable. The continent was primarily divided into three major human empires and around twenty to thirty smaller states.

The Enkama Empire was one of the significant human empires. Feudal Lord Dani, a high-ranking figure within the Empire, controlled vast fertile lands and actively promoted necromancy scholarship within her territory.

The Enkama Empire and the Ciboreya continent maintained an open-minded and appreciative attitude towards diverse academic disciplines.

The influence of the Holy Court in this region was minimal. Hence, many necromancy players chose Ciboreya for studies, particularly within Feudal Lord Daniʼs territory.

Additionally, the region possessed specific geographical advantages, fostering the rise of necromancy within the Enkama Empire.

Over time, Ciboreya had become one of the strongholds for necromancy players.

Assisted by players, the Enkama Empire grew in strength. Recently, with the increasing power of Feudal Lord Dani, the Empire adopted a stance of facing off against two adversaries. Simultaneously, they engaged in friction with the other major empires on the continent, all while silently competing among themselves.

If things continued this way, the Enkama Empire would inevitably become the leading power in the continent in a decade or so.

Everything changed with the eruption of the Viona incident within the Holy Court.

The major factions clandestinely supported by the Holy Court revealed their true ferocity. They opened the teleportation passage of advanced game worlds, bolstered the population of Ciboreya, and launched a direct assault on the Enkama Empire.

Sensing an opportunity, the two other empires also intervened, covertly attempting to weaken the Enkama Empire amidst the chaos.

The Enkama Empire faced an immense crisis.

”Fang Heng, get ready to leave.”

”Yes.”

On the way to the teleportation tower, Fang Heng gleaned partial knowledge of the continent from Li Qingran.

Ciboreya belonged to the mid-tier game worlds.

The worldʼs strength wasnʼt at the apex, but with the Holy Courtʼs involvement, the power dynamics fluctuated, possibly leading to encounters with formidable foes from advanced games!

”Letʼs head over and assess the situation first.”

They exchanged glances, nodded, and stepped into the teleportation passage successively.

[Hint: The player has entered a special game world, Ciboreya, through a unique teleportation.]

[Hint: Current World Tier, Mid-tier]

[Hint: The world is currently in chaos, invaded. The actual strength of characters and creatures might surpass the intermediate level. Players, be cautious.]

The teleportation brought them into Crescent Harbor, a human city under Feudal Lord Daniʼs control.

A flash caught Fang Hengʼs eye.

As the light dissipated, Fang Heng surveyed the environment, the city veiled in a subtle shroud of undead ghost fog. Looking upward, he could discern the imposing silhouette of the dark ghost tower standing tall amidst the city.

”Fang Heng, letʼs head to the city council hall first. Feudal Lord Dani is personally leading the necromancy players to resist the Holy Courtʼs invasion. She might not be in the city at the moment.”

”Okay.”

The two of them departed the ghost tower and stepped into the outskirts of the main city of Crescent Harbor.

Inside the main city council hall, players were constantly coming and going.

As tensions escalated between necromancy and the Holy Court, many players approved related missions.

There were also those who joined just for the excitement.

Li Qingran spoke with the soldiers outside the city gate and returned somewhat disappointed, saying, ”Feudal Lord Dani went to support the frontline battle against the Holy Court last night. Sheʼs expected to return tonight.”

”Understood.”

Li Qingran knew Feudal Lord Dani, and Fang Heng had cooperated with her previously. Directly contacting Feudal Lord Dani would provide more information and expedite their mission.

Since they couldnʼt locate her for the moment, they had to resort to a more ʼstraightforwardʼ approach.

”Letʼs visit the cityʼs mission commission office first.”

During these exceptional times, the cityʼs mission commission office would release various missions.

The quests were specifically aimed at players from the necromancy faction and the Enkama Empire.

A group of players gathered in front of the commission office, making a lot of noise.

Fang Heng and Li Qingran made their way to the front of the crowd.

The magical commission board displayed all available missions.

[Hint: The player has received the relevant mission, Rescue Ciboreya (Team collaborative). The player can review all levels of mission commissions without needing to fulfill prerequisites such as reputation and friendliness.]

[Hint: Players can directly accept the displayed missions and upon completion, receive the mission rewards, additional necromancy faction friendship, Enkama Empire favorability rating, and main mission (Rescue Ciboreya) completion rate.]

Fang Heng peered at the in-game prompt and immediately found it intriguing.

He had Teacher Gu Luoʼs main mission, which waived all prerequisites for accepting other missions. Upon completion, he could earn additional completion points.

Aside from the commission board, there was a contribution leaderboard adjacent to the notice board.

”Whatʼs this?”

”Itʼs a contribution ranking provided by the necromancy faction. After this battle, the top 100 contributors on this list will receive rewards.”

”Got it.” Fang Heng nodded and briefly scanned the rankings.

They were a bit late. The first-place contributor already had millions of points.

However, he didnʼt recognize any of the names listed.

Shifting his focus from the rankings, Fang Heng checked the missions displayed on the commission board.

At first glance, most were just ordinary side missions.

It felt somewhat redundant.

Spending time on these missions seemed like a waste.

Maybe it was better to head straight to the front line to find Feudal Lord Dani.

As he contemplated this, the mission commission board suddenly flashed, revealing over thirty rows of new missions!

Huh?

It refreshed!

Fang Hengʼs attention quickly zoomed in on one particular mission that shimmered with a dark golden light.

SS-level!

A dark gold-level mission!
