192: Chapter 192 Dragon Clan Buff, Cultivation Speed Increases Rapidly
Screenshots of the Rebellion Suppression Commemorative Coin were still flooding the world channel one after another.
At Wanlong City, players who had just received the permanent 1% drop rate buff turned their gaze toward Black Wind Valley.
The general offensive hadn't started yet.
But everyone knew the final battle wasn't far off.
On the city wall, Ao Ningshuang watched the dense crowd of Vanguard Army players below, her silver eyes shimmering slightly.
These days, Lin Zhe had broken seals for the Dragon Race, protected the mines, stabilized morale, and even added regional buffs of +10% Dragon Power cultivation speed and +5% hatchling talent for the entire race.
The Dragon Race benefited the most.
It was impossible for her not to show some appreciation.
Ao Ningshuang suddenly spoke: "Chi Lie."
Chi Lie immediately stepped forward: "Your Majesty."
"Open the Wanlong City Dragon Crystal Training Ground."
Chi Lie looked up sharply, his eyes filled with shock: "Your Majesty, that is the core cultivation site of the Dragon Race. Usually, only the Silver Dragon Guard and direct disciples of the elders can enter..."
Ao Ningshuang gave him a cold look.
"Lin Zhe gave the Dragon Race a future."
"Is there a problem with this Empress opening a cultivation ground?"
Chi Lie's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately lowered his head: "No!"
Ao Ningshuang turned to look at Lin Zhe, her voice a bit softer than usual.
"The Dragon Crystal Training Ground has the densest Dragon God Power, powered year-round by Dragon Crystal Mines."
"Cultivating inside is much faster than outside."
"From today on, all participating Vanguard Army players can enter using their contribution points."
Lin Zhe nodded faintly: "That works."
The next second, a server-wide announcement boomed out.
[Server Announcement: Dragon Empress Ao Ningshuang has opened the Wanlong City Dragon Crystal Training Ground!]
[Target: All participating Vanguard Army players!]
[Cultivation Ground Effect: Cultivation speed increased by 20%!]
[Battle Qi condensation speed increased by 15%!]
[Magic Power condensation speed increased by 15%!]
[Entry Method: Exchange a small amount of Rebellion Suppression contribution points for cultivation time!]
As soon as the announcement appeared...
The entire front line went silent for a second.
Then, it completely exploded!
"Holy crap! Cultivation speed +20%?"
"And an extra 15% for Battle Qi and Magic Power condensation?"
"Isn't this the ultimate buff for players stuck at level caps?"
"Charge! I have a ton of contribution points!"
"Don't push! I'm lining up first!"
To the east of Wanlong City, a massive dragon gate that had been closed for many years swung open.
Behind the gate was a crimson-gold cultivation square.
The ground was paved with dragon-patterned stone slabs, and hundreds of Dragon Crystal pillars stood around, with Dragon God Power so dense it almost turned into mist flowing within them.
The air was filled with warm Dragon Crystal energy.
As soon as players stepped in, the Battle Qi and Magic Power in their bodies began to surge on their own.
A warrior player who had been stuck at level 49 for a long time sat down, his eyes instantly widening.
"My god! The experience bar is moving!"
The mage next to him was also stunned.
"The magic condensation speed really increased; my mana cap is starting to budge!"
The cultivation ground spots were instantly filled.
Rows of players sat cross-legged, with pale gold cultivation light constantly rising from their heads.
Some warriors held longswords, their Battle Qi compressing layer by layer.
Some mages closed their eyes in meditation, magic whirlpools spinning behind them.
Some knights' armor hummed and vibrated as blood vitality and Dragon Power washed over each other.
In less than half a day, the first breakthrough notification rang out.
[Player "Iron-Backed Mad Blade" has broken through the bottleneck, leveling up to Level 50!]
That warrior snapped his eyes open and jumped up.
"I broke through!"
"I've been stuck at level 49 for two months!"
"I stayed here for half a day and directly broke through!"
He swung his blade, and with a boom, his Battle Qi slashed into the testing stone.
The damage numbers were significantly higher than before.
The surrounding players were all dumbfounded.
Then, the second, the third, the fourth.
Notifications rang out one after another.
[Player "Cold Light Little Mage" has completed magic condensation, skill damage increased!]
[Player "Unshakeable Shield Mountain" has achieved a Battle Qi breakthrough, maximum HP increased!]
[Player "Wind Archer" has completed a bottleneck breakthrough, Agility growth increased!]
Outside the cultivation ground, the eyes of the players in line turned red with envy.
"It really works!"
"It's not a placebo; combat power really is rising!"
"I've been stuck at my level for half a year; I must get in today!"
"Those without enough contribution points, hurry up and do quests!"
The world channel also completely exploded.
"The front-line players are feasting again!"
"The Dragon Crystal Training Ground is too ridiculous; a bunch of people broke through in just half a day!"
"I regret not signing up for the Vanguard Army!"
"Where are the spots for the second batch? I want to apply!"
"I want to go too! I want to leech off that cultivation ground buff!"
The players in the rear could no longer sit still.
Holy Light City, Luofeng Village, Fengyu Village, and Shiti Village—every registration point was instantly swamped.
Players who were originally just watching now frantically clicked on the Vanguard Army registration channel like they were crazy.
[Current queue: 1,000,000]
[Current queue: 3,000,000]
[Current queue: 8,000,000]
The numbers kept jumping wildly.
In the Official Operations Department, alarms were blaring once again.
The technician's face turned pale: "Manager Zhou! The registration channel has been crashed again!"
Zhou Ming's mouth twitched.
"Again?"
"Yes! The volume of applications is too large; the server's traffic diversion isn't enough!"
"All the players are applying for the second batch of Vanguard Army spots!"
Zhou Ming took a deep breath and immediately slapped the table.
"Expand capacity!"
"Expand capacity immediately!"
"Also, apply to Lord Lin Chen for additional spots!"
The message was quickly delivered to Luofeng Village.
Lin Chen looked at the skyrocketing registration numbers on the backend, nibbled on a Spirit Honey Cake, and tapped his small hand.
"Add one hundred thousand spots."
"Review their contribution points; those maliciously farming accounts aren't allowed in."
An announcement subsequently popped up.
[Server Announcement: Due to the high enthusiasm of players, an additional 100,000 spots have been opened for the second batch of the Dragon Domain Vanguard Army!]
[The registration review will be handled by the Archon of Luofeng Village, Lin Chen!]
[Those who pass the review can go to the Dragon Domain to participate in the rebellion suppression and use the Dragon Crystal Training Ground!]
The world channel exploded once more.
"One hundred thousand spots!"
"Go, go, go!"
"I must pass the review!"
"Dragon Crystal Training Ground, wait for me!"
Inside the Wanlong City cultivation ground, the light of breakthroughs continued to flash one after another.
The overall combat power of the players was rising visibly.
Ao Ningshuang stood at a high vantage point, watching those visitors from another world constantly breaking through, then looked at Lin Zhe's calm profile.
The coldness in her silver eyes softened significantly.
[Ding! Detected that top-tier female NPC Ao Ningshuang's favorability toward the host remains at 99!]
[The fourth bond has deepened further!]
[Current progress: 32%!]
Lin Zhe's eyes flickered slightly.
Ao Ningshuang said softly: "As these people grow stronger, Black Wind Valley will be more secure."
Lin Zhe looked at the dark aura still contracting in the distance and spoke faintly: "It's still not enough."
Outside the cultivation ground, the next batch of players had already begun to enter.
