Chapter 189 Preparing for the Third Wave of the Undead Scourge
......
After the second wave of generous rewards was distributed, while players were still immersed in the joy of their soaring strength and their anticipation for the future, Lin Tian calmly opened the faintly glowing [Exchange Shop] interface once again.
The interface unfolds, revealing a dazzling array of SS-grade items that still radiate an alluring dark golden glow.
Lin Tian didn't look at the specific attributes and effects; his gaze immediately fell on the top of the list, sorted from highest to lowest according to contribution value requirements.
At the top of the list is an SS-grade item called [Immortal Soulfire] (Special Material). Its description is vague, but it seems to be related to soul enhancement or some kind of ultimate forging.
And its exchange rate is clearly marked—
Exchange requirement: 68,451,892 contribution points
This number is exactly the same as the total contribution value he currently possesses!
"Just as I thought..." A look of understanding flashed in Lin Tian's eyes, confirming his previous guess.
His gaze lingered on the [Immortal Soul Flame] for a moment. This thing sounded very advanced, perhaps related to further enhancements in the future.
However, it was too expensive, so expensive that he needed to clear all his contribution points.
Lin Tian quickly scanned the other SS-grade items in the shop.
Equipment, skills, items, materials... there are many kinds, including some with extremely powerful attributes or very useful special effects.
For example, an SS-grade accessory that greatly increases spell penetration and skill range, or an SS-grade skill book that enhances summoned creatures' abilities.
However, after a brief moment of deliberation, Lin Tian slowly shook his head.
"These things are good, but they're not indispensable to my current power structure," he calmly analyzed to himself.
"The growth potential of the [Star Devouring Staff] far surpasses that of SS equipment with fixed attributes; my skill pool is already comprehensive and powerful enough after the cooldowns are reduced to zero; I also have [Star Leap] and many damage reduction effects for survival."
"More importantly..." His eyes sharpened, "SSS rank!!"
He was almost certain that when the contribution value exceeded 100 million, the exchange shop would undergo a qualitative change, and higher-level SSS-grade items would appear!
That's what could truly cause a dramatic change in his strength!
Distributing contribution points across these SS-grade items now would undoubtedly be a waste.
Lin Tian decisively closed the exchange shop interface, his eyes resolute.
"These contribution points must be saved! Once the third wave ends and the total exceeds 100 million, let's see what surprises the store has in store!"
The third wave of the undead scourge is his last chance to collect enough contribution points!
Just as he was closing the shop and planning how to use his contribution points, that familiar and solemn system notification sounded once again in the minds of all the players—
[Server-wide Announcement: Attention all players! After two rounds of fierce fighting, the Scourge's offensive has been effectively contained. However, the undead's wrath has not subsided, and the real test is about to begin!]
[The final wave—the third and final wave of the Scourge's attack—will officially arrive in 96 hours (4 days in real time)!]
[WARNING: The third wave of undead will be more powerful than ever before. They carry the ultimate will of death and are determined to annihilate all living beings. All players must make the most of this precious last moment to improve themselves, repair city defenses, and make thorough preparations!]
The final victory may determine the future fate of the mainland! Please... give it your all!!
The announcement was repeated three times in a row, each word carrying a heavy burden, like a dark cloud hanging over the hearts of all players.
Players who were just feeling optimistic and even a little "overconfident" because of their consecutive victories and generous rewards were instantly brought back to their senses as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over them.
After a brief silence, the world channel erupted in an even more heated discussion than before, but this time, panic and tension clearly prevailed:
"My God! There's a third wave?! And it's the final wave!!"
"Unprecedented power...that description alone sends chills down my spine!!"
"Four days! Only four days to prepare! What can you possibly do with that?!"
"Oh no, I feel like I wasted these two upgrades, I definitely can't hold on to the third wave!"
"Don't talk such discouraging things! We have Boss Lin Tian! And Goddess Ye Yao, Chairman Chen Shan, and the others!"
"Yes! Trust the leaders! We can't hold them back! We'll fight tooth and nail for these four days to level up another level!!"
Similar messages filled the regional channels of various major cities. After a brief period of panic, players began to encourage each other, organize teams, and discuss how to make the most of their time in the last four days.
Running dungeons, completing quests, upgrading equipment, stockpiling potions... everyone was working like clockwork, going into overdrive.
Guild leaders such as Zhang Tianya and Li Weiwei were extremely busy, calming down members while organizing larger-scale group activities and allocating resources, striving to elevate the guild's overall strength to a new level before the final battle.
After receiving the announcement, top players such as Ye Yao, Chen Shan, Emily, and Raj also fell into deep thought and began to train even harder.
Unlike most players who felt tense, panicked, or even a little desperate, Lin Tian reacted surprisingly calmly upon hearing the announcement. In fact... a hint of barely concealed excitement flashed in his eyes!
"The final wave... in four days?" he muttered to himself, a hint of anticipation curving his lips.
He wasn't worried at all about losing the position.
Possessing god-level skills, unlimited firepower, and attribute monsters, he has absolute confidence.
He was actually hoping that the third wave of undead would be stronger and more numerous!
Because that means more experience, more upgrade points, more dominance power, and... the final piece of the puzzle to reach 100 million contribution points and unlock the door to SSS-grade exchange!
With a slight thought, the personal attribute panel, emitting a faint glow, once again unfolded before Lin Tian's eyes.
His gaze swept past the familiar attributes like strength and agility, precisely landing on the two key lines of data at the very bottom—
[Current remaining upgrade points: 8,245,117]
[Dominion Power: 12,587,402]
Looking at this astronomical figure, he couldn't help but smile slightly, revealing a satisfied and composed expression.
"8.24 million upgrade points...12.58 million Dominator Power..." he murmured the two numbers.
