??<strong>BOXLUNCH’S REAL IDENTITY</strong>
With Boxlunch and his team’spletion of the sidequest, the new map of Rivendell, has officially became essible for all the yers to enter.
Many rushed into this once prosperous manufacturing city during the heyday of the elven civilization, hoping to find some valuable treasures buried underneath these new ruins just like Li Mu and Demacia did when they found those ancient meditation manuals back in Florence.
It’s worth noting that even though the game had been operating for quite some time already, the best meditation technique in the exchange store is still the ‘Elemental Meditation Technique’ that Li Mu and Demacia found and so far, it’s also the only one that had achieved a mythical purple rating!
The ‘Elemental Meditation Technique’ can train magical power as well as improve one’s affinity with the elements and can be used up to the peak of silver ranking at level 70.
The elves themselves are inherently gifted as mana attuned creatures, and one’s own magical power isn’t strictly exclusive into spellcasters or melee warriors. Despite magic not being their expertise, a melee warrior will still have a small amount of magical power within them and can even learn one or twomon low level spells, such as appraisal and illumination.
Therefore, almost all yers will saved up money in order to exchange for this meditation technique in the hopes of improving their own magical capacity.
However, even with a discount, this meditation technique is quite expensive and it requires 5000 contribution points for anyone to acquire it. Li Mu and Demacia, the two who have discovered this technique not only learned it for free, but they also keeps receiving a 0.5% cut from each yer who buys it.
It’s also worth noting that this reward willst for a one whole year…
In other words, within an in-game span of one year, each time someone bought this meditation technique at the exchange store, Li Mu and Demacia will each receive 25 contribution points as their cut as well!
Although the points gained isn’t much, it’s still a passive ie and it also adds up over time without them even doing anything.
It’s been two months already since the ‘Elemental Meditation Technique’ was unearthed by Li Mu and Demacia and each earned more than 10,000 contribution points just by relying upon the profits generated from this meditation technique alone!
Coupled with the ie from the percentage cut they received from other yers’ buying all sorts of other skill books, meditations, and even ancient books they also found in the same batch, the contribution points they umted were enough for them to exchange for a golden legendary equipment at the store!
Almost every piece of golden legendary equipment in the game is an exclusive unique item that’s one of a kind!
Not only that, but they also have some unique appearances that emits special effects! Some even have a vor text with in-depth backstories, simr to the Devil’s Wand and Night Wanderer’s Spatial Ring…
And even if these items eventually be outdated as its owners further improve their levels, this unique one of a kind legendary golden equipments are still valuable due to it being treated as a collector’s item.
However, even after more than a month had passed since theunch of Elven Kingdom back on earth, there are only a few yers who have somehow managed to own these exclusive golden legendary items.
In particr, there’s only Little Salty Cat whose equipments are all golden gear, and some yers even suspected her of cheating by using her real-life financial power.
This is ‘whale’ even spent quite a lot of money in order to build a replica of the Hanging Gardens not to mention her other private estates as well!
Although eventually, these private estates have be a ce for Moe Moe Committee gatherings and also became a famousndmark in the city of the chosen ones….
With the legendary golden equipments out of their reach, most yers aim is to instead own a full set of mythical purple equipments which is a tier below the golden gears.
Even Li Mu and Demacia do not have a single piece of golden equipment, but instead wear a full set of purple gear.
Of course in actuality, it’s not that they could not afford any golden gears, but rather because they n to eventually buy a full set of golden equipments once they reach max level, all at once.
Li Mu and Demacia made a fortune by discovering some ancient manuals. Even if the two doesn’t do anything, they will still receive some daily passive ie l, making some yers green with envy.
Therefore, the moment Rivendell was finally essible, arge number of yers rushed into this ne map, hoping to replicate Li Mu and Demacia’s sess.
Of course, there are also many high-level yers whose n is not to scavenge items, but rather go to the underworld through its entrance located in Rivendell, especially those who are eager to quickly increase their levels.
Although NPCs can provide lucrative tasks, there are still many yers who prefer to take on risks and hunt mobs rather than doingborious tasks earnestly.
Simply put, it’s more thrilling to fight mobs for these yers!
At the same time, a recent newly added feature have also caught the attention of all the yers.
A Leaderboard System!
The leaderboards is a recent feature that Evé added after the implementation of NPC task system and it is divided into five categories:
Level Rankings, Contribution Rankings, Combat Rankings, Task Rankings, and finally Reputation Rankings.
The level rankings, as it name suggests, is a leaderboard that list the concurrent level of all the yers. It is arranged in descending order with the highest at the top whilst the lowest at the bottom.
The leader of this leaderboard has always been ‘Boxlunch’ ever since its implementation.
Next is the Contribution rankings. This leaderboard are based upon the yers’ umted contribution points, and the more CP a yer have, the higher their ranking is.
However since CP can be traded, the yers also jokingly refer to this leaderboard as the ‘rich list’, and Little Salty Cat is almost always listed in the first ce.
Her ranking is also a good indication as to whether there would be one less golden equipment avable in the exchange store since her name would always sink below second or third ce whenever Salty Cat would buy something expensive.
Thebat rankings is a leaderboard based upon thebination of one’s level, equipment, number of battles fought and the amount of experience gained through battles. Boxlunch is once again at the number one spot of this list followed by a yer named Tomato with Little Salty Cat sitting at third ce.
The task rankings is based on aprehensive evaluation of the taskspleted by a yer, and HootyBird, the leader of Moe Moe Committee’s construction brigade, who also frequently takes on construction tasks, has the highest score upon this leaderboard.
Lastly, the reputation ranking is based on aprehensive evaluation of a yer’s favorability rating with the NPCs, and Li Mu, as the yer who is most respected and skilled at gaining favor, deserves his first-ce position at this leaderboard.
However, this time, the two major factors within the level andbat leaderboards have undergone some changes.
It is not that a major change urred in the rankings, but rather in the values instead.
Some yers have noticed that Boxlunch’s level is no longer at 20, but instead had risen to 21!
By achieving this feat, Boxlunch has be the first yer in Elven Kingdom to be promoted to intermediate iron-rank!
The peak of rudimentary iron-rank is at level 20, and only upon passing that level, one would finally be considered as an intermediate iron expert.
There is only a one-level of difference, but make no mistake, there is a huge gap in power and abilities between a rudimentary and intermediate experts.
When Boxlunch was promoted to level 21, his score on thebat leaderboards instantly tripled, reaching up to 10,000 points, far surpassing the second ce by 1,500 points…
This discovery made some yers envious and amazed.
“As expected of Captain Box, he was promoted to intermediate rank so very quickly.”
“My goodness… abat rating of 10,000 points…Let’s see, dammit! I’m only at 233 points even though I’m already at level 15. Maan, is the gap really that big?”
“Aren’t you a casual yer? It seems you don’t engage much inbat? You know your score will quickly increase if you defeat some mobs.”
“I’m also an activebat yer… but my rating is only a little over 800 points…”
“That yer named Boxlunch is a hardcore gamer right? I’m afraid this guy can easily sweep thepetition…”
“He’s more than just your typical grinding fanatic, I heard that he single-handedly killed more than ten iron-ranked human mercenaries at hisst quest…”
“Wow… that’s terrifying…”
Evé also took notice of Boxlunch’s promotion. In fact, she had paid close attention to hisbat capabilities.
It has to be said that this guy is indeed abat genius. Evé couldn’t find anyone as fierce as him amongst the concurrent 1200 yers in the closed beta-test.
He has an immense amount of experience in reconnaissance,bat, and even rescue operations!
However, considering Boxlunch’s real-life profession, Evé was really not all that surprised.
The 1200 yers participating in the closed beta-test wasn’t randomly selected by her. In fact, Evé carefully curated them based upon their proficiency in games.
In addition, she specifically selected streamers, professional yers, and even some highly educated people.
Of course, Evé was also aware of all the personal information of these selected yers. After all, earth’s onlinework is very advanced, and she can find any information she wants through it.
As for Boxlunch, his real-life identity is a retired frontline drug enforcement police officer, and his personal record is so rich that it could even be written into a book…
Like Li Mu, Evé also considered Boxlunch as a key observation target and she have ns to cultivate him in the future if necessary.
After Boxlunch had reached intermediate iron-rank, Evé also ns to update the goods being sold at the exchange store.
“Many high-level yers have already saved up for a full set of mythical purple equipments. With Boxlunch paving the way to intermediate rankings, soon more yers will as well gradually reach the same rank due to the appearance of a new map.”
“To motivate them even more, it’s the best time to update the contents of the store.”
After pondering for a moment, Evé then took out a batch of equipments for intermediate iron-ranks that had already been prepared within her celestial domain…
These were once the ‘junk’ equipments sent over by the yers to her as an offerings.
