53: Conditions for participating in the national war

The news of the National War's activation echoed deep within everyone's consciousness, and instantly, the chat channel exploded.

"Damn it, the National War has started again! It hasn't been long since the last one."

"This thing has no pattern at all, it's completely random. But this time is good, it landed on Sakura Country. I just got a Divine Artifact two days ago, perfect for testing its power on Sakura Country."

"The one upstairs, what level are you? My friend just checked the registration area, and this National War's level requirement for registration is players between level 50 and 200, of Tiers 1 to 3."

"Tiers 1 to 3, oh my god, China doesn't have an advantage in this stage! Most of our awesome hidden professions are late-game. If it were high-tier, it would be great. Have you heard? Lord Void Master has already become a Sword God! If he could participate, it would be amazing. His sword qi could span thirty thousand miles, sinking Sakura Island with one strike."

"Alas, who isn't saying that? Even mid-tier players would be fine. For players above level 200, China has so many powerful people. But it's specifically for low-tier, below Tier 3. Our China doesn't have an advantage."

"Didn't someone transfer to a Mythic-grade profession before?"

"Don't even mention it. That person's profession was [Human], and that profession is incredibly pit (pitfall). Moreover, when he first transferred, he was only level 19. There isn't much time until the National War starts. In such a short time, he probably won't even reach level 50, so he can't even register."

...

The chat channel was directly flooded. Since the National War announcement, the discussion had not stopped.

From the initial excitement of being able to personally kill Sakura Country players, to the later regret of not being able to participate, and even to the final worry.

In terms of strongest combat power or overall combat power, China, with its vast land and abundant resources, and its heroes emerging in large numbers, completely overwhelmed Sakura Country.

However, with this Tier 1 to Tier 3 registration limit, it was different.

Sakura Country players, due to their fear of death, did not level up as desperately as China players.

So, their leveling speed was not fast, and there weren't many top-tier experts. Most of them remained at low tiers and stopped leveling up.

Unexpectedly, the participation requirements for this National War actually turned Sakura Country's disadvantage into an advantage.

The chat on Sakura Country's side also exploded, with an endless stream of discussions.

"Haha, heaven truly helps my Great Sakura Empire! Only those below Tier 3 can register. This rule is simply made for my Sakura Country."

"My Sakura Country has been planning for a long time, and finally, the time for harvest has arrived. Many Newbie Main Cities have already been captured by my Sakura Country's ninjas. The new generation of China is very weak now."

"Below Tier 3, my Sakura Country is invincible. After this National War victory, it will be the moment for my Great Sakura Empire to rise."

...

Sakura Country's chat messages were also continuous, and by the end, it was all celebration.

If it were a true battle involving all national players, or a battle of high-tier players, Sakura Country would still be very afraid.

But for those below Tier 3, they had strong confidence.

This battle would surely be won.

They had already begun to think about the generous rewards after the National War, imagining what kind of punishment China would receive.

"The National War is about to begin?"

Qi Meng and the others also showed surprise in their eyes, not expecting the National War to start again.

"Too bad we can't make it."

The members of Thunder Guild showed regret.

Not yet having reached level 50, they were unable to leave the Newbie Main City.

Although they didn't know the registration requirements for this National War, players below level 50 in the Newbie Main City would definitely not be able to register.

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but look at Qin Tian again.

Qin Tian, at level 65, could already leave the Newbie Main City.

It was just unknown whether he would go to the National War.

After all, it wasn't a game, but the real world.

The National War battlefield was the same; if one died, they truly died.

And if he didn't go and stayed here, he would be an absolute overlord.

No one in the Beginner Area could contend with him.

Not to mention the Newbie Main City where Thunder Guild was located, even the Newbie Main City where Guild of War was located, and all other Newbie Main Cities, he could take the entire Beginner Area into his pocket and become an overlord-level existence.

Not everyone had combat ability, nor was everyone willing to struggle between life and death.

Therefore, the Beginner Area had the most people; from another perspective, this was also the place with the lowest degree of game invasion, so it was more akin to the real world where the game had not invaded.

Who could resist the temptation of becoming an absolute overlord in the real world?

"Let's clear the equipment and items on the ground. Brother Qi, you can look at them and distribute them to everyone. Everyone worked hard this time."

Qin Tian said, picking up a scroll from the ground.

This scroll was the one Yamamoto Ichiki used earlier to summon the teleportation gate, but it was unknown where the other side of the teleportation gate led.

Qin Tian had a strong suspicion it led to Sakura Country's Newbie Main City.

As for the answer, he would know after experimenting.

"You killed all these people. These equipment and items should still be registered under your name, just like before. If anyone needs them, they can just buy them normally."

Qi Meng said to Qin Tian.

Although they came here to save Qin Tian's mother, if Qin Tian hadn't acted, they would have eventually been killed by the people from Guild of War and Menglong Guild.

From a practical standpoint, Qin Tian had saved them.

Moreover, rare equipment was something priceless; being able to buy it with money was already very good.

"Yes, Vice President, if it weren't for your intervention, all of us would have died. We cannot take these equipment."

Zhang Hang of Thunder Guild said.

"Yes, Vice President, we cannot take them. Our Thunder Guild is not Menglong Guild; everything is based on actual circumstances and guild contributions."

The other members of Thunder Guild also spoke up.

"Since that's the case, then let's put them all in the guild warehouse. If you don't have enough money, you can also borrow it and buy them when you have enough."

Seeing the reaction of the Thunder Guild members, Qin Tian could only say this.

Upon hearing Qin Tian say this, all the members of Thunder Guild cheered.

Without having to risk their lives fighting BOSSes, they could directly purchase the desired top-tier equipment.

And to choose from such a large number of top-tier equipment, if people from other guilds knew, they would be incredibly jealous.

"There's one more thing. I'm preparing to leave the Newbie Main City. The National War is about to begin, and I want to participate. Thank you all for this time. I won't leave the guild. If the guild encounters any trouble in the future, Brother Qi, you can contact me anytime."

Qin Tian looked at Qi Meng.

Whether it was this righteous man or the members of Thunder Guild, they all made him feel very good.

"You're really going to participate in the National War?"

Qi Meng's expression froze.

He had also thought about it and hoped that Qin Tian would participate in the National War.

But that should have been a decision Qin Tian made after much deliberation.

He hadn't expected Qin Tian to make a decision so quickly.

No, more accurately, Qin Tian gave him the feeling that he had been waiting for this day to arrive.

Qin Tian nodded.

"However, before I leave, there are still a few things to do."
