123: Strategy Guide for Zuma

Huang Chen frowned in thought.

In his previous life, the top 10,000 on the level 50 leaderboard were basically all High Martial World ethnic groups and a small number of Mid Martial World ethnic groups.

Moreover, the way they made it onto the list was scattered, not concentrated in one ethnic group like this.

It seems his reborn butterfly wings had already fanned the course of events away from its original trajectory.

Forbidden City having over 2,000 core members reach level 50 was entirely due to him using cheats to boost them, but now the Vermilion Bird Clan could get 1,000 people to level 50, which meant these High Martial Worlds might have used some trump cards he didn't know about in advance.

Since the Vermilion Bird Clan used them early, would the Saiyan Clan use them too? And what about the Titan Clan and other High Martial World ethnic groups?

Thinking of this, Huang Chen immediately sent a message to Tie Shengnan.

“Huang Chen: Shengnan, immediately gather all core personnel at the 886 city gate. I need to get them all to level 50 as quickly as possible.”

“Tie Shengnan: All?”

“Huang Chen: Yes, including those already at level 50. Also, besides you, Lan Ling, and Chun Yan, everyone else should come too.”

“Tie Shengnan: Alright. But many core personnel are currently in monster lairs and Satellite Cities, so it might take half an hour.”

“Huang Chen: Good.”

After Huang Chen finished his call with Tie Shengnan, he turned to look at the languid Xie Chunyan.

With only half an hour, he could probably go for another round if he pushed it.

Thus, the intoxicating sound of applause echoed in the room once more... An hour later,

Huang Chen finally flew to the 886 city gate.

The Forbidden City core personnel had already been lined up here, waiting for a full 25 minutes.

“Hubby, you're here!”

As soon as All the women saw Huang Chen appear, they chattered excitedly and surrounded him.

For a moment, Huang Chen didn't know who to respond to first.

He could only nod slightly at them, then asked Lan Ling, “Is everyone here?”

Lan Ling replied, “Everyone is here.”

Currently, Tie Shengnan was the commander of the combat division, and Lan Ling and Li Ruo were deputy commanders.

One of the two deputy commanders was responsible for leading charges, and the other for deploying troops.

Hearing Lan Ling's affirmative answer, Huang Chen directly activated group teleportation, and a force of ten thousand people appeared directly in front of Zuma Temple.

Before entering, Huang Chen turned to the core personnel and said loudly:

“This Zuma Strategy is mainly for leveling up and getting equipment.”

“Once inside, everyone will randomly teleport. We need to clear all the monsters as quickly as possible.”

“I will give you the Zuma Temple map. Gather at the entrance to Zuma Temple's second floor in half an hour.”

Zuma Temple's first floor is about a million square meters, and Huang Chen's current Halo range is a circle with a radius of 100,000 meters, which can completely cover the entire temple.

With the Halo and equipment buffs, Huang Chen believed that with the current strength of Zuma monsters, it was impossible for them to instantly kill these core personnel with two to three hundred thousand health.

On the contrary, the higher the monster's attack power, the faster they would die.

After dying, there were also puppets to help fight, so half an hour was enough.

The speed of the conquest was much faster than Huang Chen expected.

After all, over 2,000 level 50 fort were not to be trifled with.

After only about 20 minutes, everyone arrived at the entrance to Zuma's second floor.

After Lan Ling reported that everyone was present, Huang Chen continued to delve into the second floor.

Although the Zuma monsters grew stronger with each floor, this increased strength did not hinder the Forbidden City core legion in the slightest.

Second floor, 23 minutes.

Third floor, 25 minutes... Sixth floor, 42 minutes.

Last time Huang Chen led a team to fight Zuma, it took 5 hours for four and a half floors.

This time, reaching the entrance of the seventh floor only took about three hours.

If other ethnic groups knew this speed, their jaws would surely drop.

Currently, even if the Vermilion Bird Clan from the High Martial World were to fight Zuma, they would probably only be able to hold their ground around the fourth floor.

If they went down to the fifth floor, besides Feng Wu, the others would likely face issues of insufficient attack power and inability to sustain themselves.

During these three hours, Huang Chen basically idled, except for flying around to fight elite monsters.

After everyone had arrived, Huang Chen looked at Lan Ling, who was about to count the numbers, and said:

“Lan Ling, tally the levels.”

“Okay!”

After three hours of grinding, Lan Ling also wanted to know the progress of the core personnel's leveling.

A moment later, Lan Ling sent a summary report to Huang Chen.

“Excluding the original core personnel, Forbidden City's core personnel actually present this time are 8,210 people. Currently, 3,210 people are level 47, and 5,000 people are level 48.”

After hearing Lan Ling's report, Huang Chen secretly sighed.

It seems after clearing Zuma, he would still need to find a level 50 Diamond Lair to play in to ensure everyone reached level 50.

“Good!”

He nodded to Lan Ling and said, “Prepare to enter the seventh floor. Tell everyone entering the seventh floor not to fly around randomly. I heard the Zuma Cult Leader is very strong, don't fly near it.”

With that, Huang Chen directly stepped down the stairs to Zuma's seventh floor.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

The scene shifted, and before Huang Chen could clearly see, the roars of Zuma echoed in his ears, followed by a series of blood-deducting numbers appearing above his head.

-11212

-12512

-16212

“Such high attack! At least 50% higher than the sixth floor!” Huang Chen thought to himself.

With his defense, these ordinary small monsters could deal 10,000 damage.

So if it hit an ordinary Trial Taker, wouldn't that be thirty to forty thousand damage?

This would almost instantly kill ordinary Trial Takers below level 50 with a full set of silver equipment.

Fortunately, his core members were all wearing level 45 Dark Gold equipment.

It wouldn't be too dangerous here.

Moreover, under Refraction Aura, the higher your attack, the faster you die.

Without any hesitation.

Huang Chen directly cast Karma Fire Burns the City.

After all, Zuma monsters are all Metal Element Users, and fire-type attacks have a damage bonus of over 30%.

Karma Fire continuously dripped at a rate of four per second, directly staining the floor of the seventh-floor entrance black and red. Zuma monsters wailed in the Karma Fire, falling in droves.

It looked like a feast of charcoal-grilled horse-headed monsters.

As the puppets stood up one by one, Huang Chen had a chance to observe Zuma's terrain.

This was a square hall with sides nearly two thousand meters long, four times larger than the six floors above.

The hall was densely packed with monsters, even more so than Woma Three.

Following Huang Chen down was the Harem Legion, who also cast skills at the distant Zuma upon entering.

As the first batch of puppets fell, two thousand core personnel filed down, while the remaining people still waited at the sixth-floor entrance to enter.

What kind of effect would 2,000-plus people casting level 50 skills simultaneously have?

Describing it as heaven and earth collapsing would not be an exaggeration.

Thus, the puppet-occupied area grew larger and larger. During this time, whenever a puppet's two-minute lifespan expired, the vacant spot would immediately be filled by personnel from the sixth floor.

It took a full 8 minutes for Forbidden City to clear out enough space to accommodate a team of ten thousand people.

The more people there were, the faster the progress.

Huang Chen estimated that although this place was four times larger than the upper floors, because it was square, at this rate, the hall could be cleared in less than half an hour.

Seeing that Forbidden City's output was sufficient, he stopped casting skills and then teleported to the center of the hall.

In his previous life, he heard that the Zuma Cult Leader was hidden within the stone statue on the central altar of the hall...
