Book 6: Chapter 27: The Brewing Storm
More than two hundred Apostles entered this Domination War zone. Since they could not bring regular recovery items to the Domination War, except for some battle fanatics, most of them had the same idea—to sit back and profit from others’ conflicts.
Under normal circumstances, there would not be many battles in the early stages of the Domination War. Most people would wait for the best moment to join the fight. Some Apostles might even form temporary teams through communication, only appearing to participate in the final days of the Domination War.
That way, it would certainly lead to an intense free-for-all. Such fights would involve many coincidences, and unless one chose not to participate, even Qin Lun could not guarantee his own survival. However, due to time constraints and most Apostles being well-prepared, the number of deaths would actually not be very high.
Qin Lun estimated that out of more than two hundred Apostles, the final survivors would likely number between one hundred and one hundred fifty. This aligned with Shattered Starry Sky’s purpose for hosting the Metropolis Domination War: to train Apostles’ survival abilities and stimulate and catalyze their advancement with minimal casualties.
However, this did not suit Qin Lun’s goals!
Every time Qin Lun completed a mission period, his total earnings were generally over two hundred thousand Shattered Crystals. In his recent two Otherworld Missions—the World War II World and Nals World—his earnings even reached between three hundred thousand and four hundred thousand Shattered Crystals.
Engaging in an extremely dangerous free-for-all with more than two hundred opponents of the same level, only to end up with lesser rewards than those from Quest Worlds, was definitely not Qin Lun’s original intention for joining the Metropolis Domination War.
In Qin Lun’s view, the Metropolis Domination War was like a gu jar. The two hundred Apostles were the venomous insects inside the jar, killing each other. Only by having more deaths and consuming more would the survivors become stronger.
An Apostle’s Invitation Letter was worth one hundred thousand Shattered Crystals. Two hundred people meant twenty million Shattered Crystals. If fifty people died, only fifty would reap the rewards, while the other one hundred would gain nothing apart from a few hundred points from the Sapient Races’ employment. On average, one hundred fifty people would only share thirty to forty thousand Shattered Crystals. Even if one hundred died, the remaining one hundred would only have earnings of one hundred thousand Shattered Crystals.
