Facing the super-multiplied time, countless Adventurers wailed in despair.
Who could afford to waste a whole day?
“Damn it, I was just an hour away from my turn, and now I have to add another hour.”
“Why did they have to add another mode? And from the description of the other mode, the gameplay seems exactly the same.”
“Wrong, this one is free, that one requires attempts.”
“Ah! No way? Who would play if it’s paid?”
“Yeah, I admit this Dungeon content is quite novel, but no matter how novel, I still have to support the Dungeon Lord of my own region. After all, the Dungeon in our own region is the foundation for our town’s future development.”
“Exactly! Who would play if it’s paid?!”
As soon as the ranked mode was released, some voices immediately emerged.
A large number of Adventurers started setting the pace, expressing their dissatisfaction in the chat channel.
Tide Town was actually fine, because Liar's Tavern was their own Dungeon territory. They didn't mind Liar's Tavern introducing a paid mode, and were even very happy to see it.
After all, they had been freeloading for so many days that they felt a little embarrassed.
Deep Sea Town was also fine, because they no longer had a pillar Dungeon locally, and the attempts were originally used to clear Dungeons from other servers.
The quality of Liar's Tavern was not bad, so it didn't matter who earned these attempts.
Therefore, the first to play in the ranked mode were only the Adventurers from Tide Town and Deep Sea Town.
However, Cloud Sea Town, Jinshan Town, and Clear Water Town were different.
They had pillar Dungeons in their local areas and already had their own targets to support.
Making them pay to play Liar's Tavern still met with some resistance.
After all, from the current perspective, because of the short time, the income from Liar's Tavern was similar to playing their local Dungeons, and sometimes it might even be worse.
For example, when they died immediately upon entering the map.
So,
facing the ranked mode, the Adventurers from these three towns all had the same attitude.
“Paid? Who would play if it’s paid?”
“Freeloading is enough; let’s talk about consuming attempts later.”
“Brothers, I’m not saying anymore, I’ve already queued into the free mode. I’m going in to freeload another round.”
Although yesterday, the animal headgear’s voice broadcast had already carried out a wave of regional taunts,
the effect was not obvious.
Because at that time, the ranking list for the ranked mode had not yet come out, and everyone’s sense of regional belonging was not strong enough.
It wasn't until this Adventurer entered that the scoreboard's score changed.
This was because two teams of Adventurers from Tide Town and Deep Sea Town had just settled a ranked match, causing the regional leaderboard to display ranks and positions for the first time.
Currently, Tide Town ranked first on the leaderboard.
Deep Sea was second.
The rest was blank.
“This time I’ll choose the wild boar headgear to taunt the Adventurers from the other towns to death.”
The Adventurer from Cloud Sea Town said, picking up a wild boar headgear.
After putting it on,
they only heard the announcer in Liar's Tavern suddenly make a sound.
“The top-ranked Adventurer from Tide Town has entered the tavern! Everyone, come and welcome him!”
“The second-ranked Adventurer from Deep Sea Town has entered the tavern! Everyone, except for the Adventurers from Tide Town, come and welcome him!”
“??”
No, what’s wrong with this?
The Adventurer from Cloud Sea and the Adventurer from another town were full of questions.
Are you kidding me?
It’s just playing a Dungeon, why should they welcome them?
In response,
the two showed the pride of their towns, resolutely refusing to bow to Adventurers from other towns.
Isn’t it just first and second on the leaderboard?
Our town...
Will! Also! Have!
Damn it!
It really felt a little sour.
The Adventurer from Cloud Sea gritted his teeth and sat in his seat with a cold face.
He wouldn't even lift his head.
Actually, it wasn't that he didn't want to look up; it was just that the suffix after the name of the Adventurer from Tide Town on the other side was a bit too dazzling.
“Bai Xiaobai · Strongest Town Adventurer”
Ding—
A dazzling white light flashed, repeatedly reminding everyone present of the title of Strongest Town Adventurer.
“Damn it, what Strongest Town Adventurer? Don’t cry if you lose later.”
“Exactly, this Dungeon still speaks with strength. What’s so great about the Strongest Town? When it comes to playing, it’s still the same.”
“Just watch me open you up later.”
The two Adventurers from Cloud Sea Town and Jinshan Town said angrily.
We don’t care at all.
What name suffix identification.
What in-map broadcast.
All flashy.
All fake.
Are we the kind of people who care about such ethereal things?
Heh!
Are you kidding me?
“To welcome the esteemed Mr. Bai Xiaobai, the Strongest Town Adventurer, the tavern owner has specially presented a luxurious cocktail, wishing Adventurer-sama a victorious start and triumph.”
As soon as the words fell,
a blue, enchanting cocktail appeared on the table in front of Bai Xiaobai, exuding a rich aroma.
At the same time, there was also a delicious dessert.
“...”
Isn't it just a cocktail?
You can't even eat it.
At most, you can taste it.
What's the use?
I! Am! Not! Jealous!
The other three Adventurers lowered their heads, showing an attitude of disdain, and swallowed their saliva.
“Esteemed Mr. Bai Xiaobai, the Strongest Town Adventurer, please select your battle song, and let this beautiful music accompany every moment of your match.”
After the broadcast, an old-fashioned gramophone indeed appeared in front of Bai Xiaobai.
At the same time, dozens of records appeared, allowing him to choose one to play.
Bai Xiaobai didn't understand these records, but the atmosphere had already been set, so he still had to maintain the facade.
So he randomly chose one.
The gramophone automatically played.
“Next, let us listen to the music chosen by Mr. Bai Xiaobai, the Strongest Town Adventurer.”
Soon, stirring music echoed throughout the entire tavern from the gramophone's horn.
“...”
Damn it!
The emotional value given was truly abundant. It completely used the Adventurers from the other three towns as a foil for the top-ranked town.
The entire tavern,
everything revolved around the Adventurer from the number one town.
