Chapter 178 The Higher One Climbs, The Colder They Feel

Ye Ci pondered for a while as she gazed at the ring in her hands before throwing it inside her backpack. Although she wished to improve her accuracy, she felt that she would be able to achieve it without relying on the ring. Of course, this was just a reason that Ye Ci came up with to persuade herself. The truth was that she had been in a dilemma, since this was something that Fleeting Time had worn, what does that represent if she used it?

Even if this is a game, and stats are very important to her character, Ye Ci was still troubled by such a fat. In the end, she gave up and decided to leave it in her backpack to gather dust.

Ye Ci intended to rush out of the gates and toss out another bomb to gather some glory points if possible, however, she had just reached the abbey's entrance when she saw the noisy group of western continent players vanish on the spot with a flash of white light.

Was she really that unlucky? She was fully prepared to collect the loot but it turns out there was nothing for her to loot at all.

"Due to the players of the Western Continent activating the transfer device, the Western Continent's siege on Eastern Continent's Champion City has been forcibly ended. Congratulations to Eastern Continent players for successfully defending Champion City and to Western Continent players for being the first brave individuals to challenge the unknown."

After the players from the Western Continent vanished, the system announcement reached every player's ears. Furthermore, it was repeated numerous times.

Ye Ci listened to the system announcement, and was deeply puzzled. The developers are so kind. Since this was the first siege battle ever, no serious penalties were imposed on the losing side.

However, it seemed that Ye Ci was the only one dissatisfied with the situation. The rest of the players of the Eastern Continent couldn't help but scream with exhilaration at the announcement that they had successfully defended Champion City. The entire city echoed with joyful roars and cheers, as though it was insufficient to vent out the excitement they had just kept bottled up for a few hours.

Afterwards, the system even set up a celebratory banquet in Champion City. Colored lanterns were hung everywhere and wine was served from all restaurants to welcome their heroes.

Ye Ci did not like festivities. She was unable to get used to situations where crowds of people would gather for a celebration. Silently, Ye Ci walked out of Champion City, summoned Ol' Four and once again set forth towards the Mausoleum of Blades with the intention of grinding.

She had just taken a few steps, when she received a PM from Sir Ditty, "Where did you go?"

"I just left the city."

"What are you doing outside? Hurry up and come back, the king is holding a banquet in the palace square, you have to participate!"

"Just go in my stead." The corners of Ye Ci's mouth raised slightly, she was never the one for festive occasions.

Sir Ditty attempted to persuade her time after time but was politely declined each time. In the end, Sir Ditty could only give up. However, Good Ol' Days, Flawless Reflection, Corrupting The Living, Dane and several guild leaders of major guilds began to pepper her with private messages, inviting her to have a drink with them. Left with no way to refuse, Ye Ci had no choice but to turn Ol' Four around and make her way back to Champion City's palace.

This night, the entire Champion City seemed to be immersed in joyous mirth, the never-ending sea of players feasted, danced and sang non-stop. Massive fireworks appeared in the night sky, beautiful and dazzling. Ye Ci saw many familiar people, there were those who were on good terms with her and those that weren't.
