Chapter 6

Game Forum

The game forum is where players of "Peak" exchange game experiences. It's only been a few hours since the server opened, but the forum already has millions of posts!

Jiang Yan casually opened a post where a player named "All Beings Are Equal" complained that there were too many people and too few monsters in the newbie village. He had fought for a long time and only managed to get the experience from three sheep, barely reaching level 1.

The comments section was flooded with complaints, all lamenting the large number of players and the small number of monsters, and hoping that the developers would open up more and larger maps!

Jiang Yan opened another featured post, which was a recruitment post for the guild 【Three-Legged Golden Crow】.

Di Jun: I am the guild leader of [Three-Legged Golden Crow]. I sincerely invite all players with A-level talent or above from the China region to join us, regardless of class. Once accepted, A-level talents will receive a monthly subsidy of 5,000 yuan! S-level talents will receive a monthly subsidy of 50,000 yuan! SS-level talents will receive a monthly subsidy of 200,000 yuan! SSS-level talents will receive a monthly subsidy of 500,000 yuan!

This post is very popular because [Three-Legged Golden Crow] is one of the five top-tier (T0) super-large guilds in China, and has dominated multiple virtual games. After the release of "Peak", [Three-Legged Golden Crow] recruited all its players, and now it is recruiting on a large scale, clearly intending to make a big splash in "Peak"!

Thanks to the fame of the "Three-Legged Golden Crow," the post has received over 100,000 comments!

Little Dot: A street sweeper monk is passing by. He earns 1,800 a month. Can I join him if I have B-level talent? I only need 3,000. I don't want to sweep the streets anymore!

I am a great detective: I have a C-level talent, and I gain an extra free attribute point for each level up. I want to know what the talent attributes of A-level and above are.

If you're a true brother, come and fight me: I have a B-level talent, Magic Penetration +30%, but I chose Warrior. I want to delete my account, but it takes seven days to create a new one after deleting it.

I'm a Superstar: Is there really such a thing as SSS-level talent? I asked all my friends, and not one of them was above A!

No Thieves Under Heaven: There are at least 100 million players in the China region now, and in the next seven days, that number will increase to at least 500 million. Even if only one in a hundred, one in a thousand, or even one in ten thousand talents are selected, with such a large base, there will definitely be tens of thousands of talented players. I want to know, does [Three-Legged Golden Crow] have such sufficient funds?

Playing the lute to a cow: Although the Three-Legged Golden Crow is a guild, it has received investment from multiple capital firms, so it will never lack money.

Fengwu said: Although the Three-Legged Golden Crow is strong, it seems to be a little weaker than the Ragnarok Guild. If you want to join, join the Ragnarok Guild!

Xiudou: Upstairs, you can't even get into the Three-Legged Golden Crow, and you want to get into Ragnarok?

Looking at the comments, Jiang Yan was also amazed.

Although I knew that SSS talent was valuable, I didn't expect that on the first day, a guild would offer a monthly subsidy of 500,000!

"Should I join the Three-Legged Golden Crow and use their power to ban that adulterous couple in the game?"

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Yan slowly shook his head. Taking advantage of the situation was certainly possible, but it could never be done on the premise of selling oneself!

Nobody knows where the future limits of "Peak" lie, so selling it now is a bit hasty.

Next, Jiang Yan searched for the keyword "drop rate" and tens of thousands of posts appeared instantly.

Almost every post is complaining about the extremely low drop rate!

However, there are exceptions.

Jiang Yan clicked into a post. The poster was called Good Luck, and this guy had drawn an S-level talent: five times the drop rate!

While others only get one copper coin from killing a goat, he gets five, and occasionally even gets a blank item!

In the post, Good Luck posted his equipment, which made Jiang Yan feel frustrated.

He painstakingly hunted wild boars and tigers, even though he was above his level, and only managed to get one piece of bronze equipment and two pieces of white equipment. This guy, on the other hand, got his entire body covered in equipment just by hunting goats.

Goat arm guards, goat armor, goat shoes, goat knife, goat head, goat cloak, goat ring, goat necklace... Jiang Yan became angrier the more he looked at them. "You must have been related to goats in your past life, right?!"

This is just what I'm wearing; there's probably even more that I have in my backpack!

Jiang Yan looked at the tens of thousands of comments below the post, which could be divided into three parts!

Some players are filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred, and hope that the official will punish this show-off.

Some players call him "godfather" in order to get freebies and curry favor with him.

The other group of players are recruited.

Even Di Jun, the guild leader of the Three-Legged Golden Crow, personally commented, hoping to recruit him and offering a monthly subsidy of one million!

Besides [Three-Legged Golden Crow], four other top-tier (T0) mega-guilds in China have also started recruiting: [Ragnarok], [Red Beauty], [Jade Capital], and [Stardust]!

The prices offered by super-large guilds are all around one million, with little fluctuation.

Below the five major guilds, there are more than a dozen large guilds at the T1 level, such as [Prosperous Dynasty] and [Dark Empire], whose prices are even more outrageous, exceeding two million per month!

In addition, there are numerous newly established guilds backed by wealthy corporations, offering outrageously high salaries. Among them, the [Dragon Tiger Gate] guild even offered a monthly salary of five million!

"There are so many rich people here." Jiang Yan looked at the prices offered by these guilds and realized that the future of this game was limitless. Otherwise, why would these rich people be throwing money into the game like crazy?

Jiang Yan was overjoyed. With his current hidden profession and SSS-level talent, his future was destined to be brilliant, and he would become a person of high status!

But for now, we should focus on the present!

Jiang Yan was about to close the forum when he suddenly saw a pinned post!

In the "Peak" forum, it costs one million to make a post a featured post, and ten million to make it a pinned post!

Ten million just for posting a single thread, and it only lasts for 24 hours!

Even Jiang Yan couldn't resist opening it to see who was so arrogant!

Bafanglaicai: Greetings to all guild leaders, my name is Bafanglaicai. I have a large amount of gold coins for sale. Please contact me privately if you are interested!

The post was very simple, just this one nonsensical sentence.

The comments below are surging at a rate of over ten thousand per second!

East Evil West Poison: Which guild promoted this guy?

Big Ben: He must have a lot of gold coins to dare to spend ten million to post this. I'm curious how he got them.

Crazy: Is there a cheat code?

Burial of Love - Purple: It's definitely related to talent! Just like that lucky 5x drop rate!

Zangai-Lan: Is it possible that the official team is trying to fleece players by transferring money from one pocket to another?

Big-Headed Son: Maybe it's a scammer, everyone be careful of theft!

The comments section was filled with various conspiracy theories, so Jiang Yan closed the post and stopped reading it.

Based on these few hours of gameplay, the production of "Apex" is absolutely superb, and with the backing of various countries, the probability of cheating is almost zero!

It's even more impossible to take advantage of the system; that would be like killing the goose that lays the golden eggs!

Therefore, this "Wealth from All Directions" talent must have been drawn from a talent related to gold coins, and it is highly likely to be S or higher, or even SSS like Jiang Yan!

After all, if someone dares to directly @ the leaders of major guilds to sell gold coins, wouldn't they be humiliating themselves if they didn't have enough gold coin reserves?

Shutting down the forum, Jiang Yan quickly composed himself and continued killing tigers!
