Chapter 1501: Lost Points
"Don't underestimate city defense! There's no time for city defense. You defend the city until no more calamity attacks the city. Depending on the number of the calamity, you might have to fight a month or maybe two months without a rest! You will need potions!"
Tang Shaoyang furrowed his brow, realizing the city defense was not as simple as the game in the Survival Game. In the Survival Game, the monster came in separate waves. It seemed like all monsters would swarm to the city at the same time instead of in separate waves. At least, it was what he got from Oby.
"I recommend you three potions, the basic ones if you are confident in your ability in a prolonged battle. You will need Mana Potion, Rejuvenation Potion, and Sacred Universal Antidote. Sacred Universal Antidote will help you against the poisonous Void Energy. Unless you are immune to..."
Oby did not finish his words and got the answer. He was a bit surprised deep inside, finding out the young man in front of him was immune to the poison made from Void Energy. That only meant one thing, the young man in front of him also had Void Energy.
'Dragon's descendant with void energy... Interesting...'
Oby shrugged, "Then you only need Rejuvenation and Mana Potion. Unless your body is fragile, then you need Healing Potion as well. Ah, you better have a moderate stock from now just in case the trial will change to city defense. The potion's price will double or even triple the normal price during the city defense."
Tang Shaoyang took the advice seriously. He indeed did not care that much about potion. Even when Oby mentioned it, he changed his mind after listening to the explanation. He thought the city defense would take the same time as the time for the trial. That was why he thought the potions were not necessary for him.
"The last tip..." Oby furrowed his brows for a moment, "I advise you to have a party. At least a party of three. Three should be enough if you choose your party carefully. Even if you don't have an enemy, some people will go after your head. Especially if you have big points."
The cook then winked his right eye and waved his hand, chasing Tang Shaoyang from his counter. He was closing the bar, "But remember. The city defense is still a possibility. You don't need to think about it too much."
Tang Shaoyang returned to the lodging while pondering the issue. Even if Oby said it was just a possibility. However, it was a high-rate possibility with all the signs.
"I have to stop playing as a hunter..." He muttered in a low voice.
*** ***
The following morning, he came to the first floor and went to his usual spot for his usual breakfast. He talked to Oby as if the conversation last night never happened.
Instead of going out to hunt, he went to Manoe's exotic restaurant. It was to confirm the city defense. Not that he did not trust Madaki and Oby, but he just wanted the third voice and the fourth voice.
Manoe's story was about the same as Oby and Madaki. However, this exotic cook had a different reaction. The cook was quite excited hearing the news of the possibility of the city defense. Understandable since he would gain more variety of new ingredients.
After leaving Manoe's place, he went to the Scorching Tavern. He wanted to confirm from the fourth voice. The barkeeper was quite concerned about the city defense.
Tang Shaoyang let out a sigh as he came out of the Scorching Tavern. Four people said the same thing about the signs. It looked like the city defense was most likely to happen.
"We will be hunting bears today... You don't mind, right, Afi?' He told his spirits about the plan for today.
'I told you before. I don't care even if we are coming from the same race. Even if they are my descendants!' The Urosa Warrior replied firmly.
'The prey has taken the bait. Let's finish this once and for all.'
Tang Shaoyang noticed the Sorc Clan's people had been following him from the moment he came out of his lodging. Those big guys tried to follow him unnoticed, and it was quite a sight from his Chaos Eyes.
He went to the south gate and stopped in front of the ranking screen, looking for his name.

Tang Shaoyang was speechless when he saw Ian Carmen Lorentia's points. The gap widened even further. That just showed the advantage of solo hunting, a high risk and high return hunting.
A party with two members managed to overtake the tournament champion for second place and third place. That just proved further that a party with fewer members gained more points than a party with more people.
The solo participant Novoa Valentine maintained seventh place. However, her points were getting closer to the tournament champion's party's points. Initially, the gap was more than two thousand points and now it was less than a thousand.
Gerda Eva Lorenzen, another solo hunter, managed to overtake Clement Salle's party to eighth place from twelfth place.
Tang Shaoyang paused upon noticing Gerda Eva's points. Her points were less than eleven thousand, below his, and yet, his name was not in the top ten. With his eleven thousand points, he was supposed to be in eighth place, not Gerda. The first thing he did was to check his point.
