Lost Paradise, Resurrection Plaza.
Hundreds of resurrected Consortium players are resting on the ground while eating, drinking, and making phone calls to women offline.
Uriel's three teams, tasked with encircling the Abyssal Fire Flame Six-headed Serpent, failed once again. Uriel is a Fallen Angel; he could have avoided death but decided to die and return to the city since flying back was too far, and it seemed easier.
Uriel is extremely frustrated with this group of spoiled brats.
Because this Flaming Six-headed Serpent is the key to the grand prize.
The grand prize is hard to obtain even in the relatively weaker human world; the Divine Team failed, and Sariel exhausted his privileges in a thrilling attempt. Not to mention, this is the 7th layer of Hell, and the difficulty is unimaginable! The appearance of any interfering NPC could snatch the grand prize away.
So, the design for this grand prize required skill; it had to be reverse-engineered—not to let oneself take the grand prize, but to let the grand prize take oneself!
Uriel designed an extremely generous, powerful, and sealed Earth Flame Tribe with abundant resources. Elemental creatures and demons are incompatible, ensuring they won't get led away by demons. Only the broad mind of the Earth Element could meet the criteria of generosity.
The abundance of resources ensures a monopoly on mineral sources, allowing rapid rise to a high position in Lost Paradise's power structure—even privileged players find their privileges less effective in this high-power Hell world compared to the surface.
But this extremely sealed design not only blocks powerful demons but also weakens oneself!
So, a key to unlock the door must be designed.
This key is hidden with the Six-headed Serpent in the Fire Abyss. This monster isn't considered strong; in theory, players can fight it. But being a magma monster, it's recognized as a water monster, which is annoying! Slight pressure and it dives to escape; even NPCs are reluctant to fight it. This guarantees the relative safety of the key.
Once the key is obtained, the peripheral monsters of the Earth Flame Tribe will immediately dissipate their hostility, allowing smooth entry into the Earth Flame Tribe...
Of course, Uriel doesn't really need this grand prize because his starting point is too advanced; normal development will maintain dominance, it just takes time.
Moreover, Uriel has a more important mission: to launch a monster siege, deplete global players' assets, and reduce the exchange of Mining Coins for cash.
These days of group failure made Uriel exhausted mentally; now encountering the energetic Divine Tata Team, perhaps it's best to appease the gloomy spirits of the spoiled brats.
As for the Six-headed Serpent, use privileges to issue a guild wanted task and have NPCs do it.
The wanted orders for the 7th layer are challenging to measure compared to the difficulty of the surface world, they start at S-level! This means Uriel must provide S-level corresponding rewards, which are paid using Privilege Points. Privilege Points can basically exchange for most items, including various reputations, experiences, etc.
Of course, no great hope is held; do capable NPCs even care about these things? They've long been fighting...
After handling the procedures, a weary Uriel just wants to sleep.
But he habitually inquires the guild attendant about real-time dynamics.
"Miss, I noticed the sky advertising in Goblin City and Minotaur City was lively when I returned, what's the situation?"
The attendant smiled: "Of course it's because major guilds have developed Holy Wine, which goblins and minotaurs love to drink..."
Uriel was stunned: "What Holy Wine?"
The attendant smiled mysteriously: "Of course it's..."
Uriel regretted asking; although the original intention of developing Lost Paradise was to be free-spirited, the evolution into its current state was affecting his appetite for dinner... tired, not wanting to inquire further, action it is.
Leaving the guild headquarters, he gathered all members at the Demon God Hall, a huge hall filled with magic crystal screens and cockpit equipment. The walls of the hall cleanly displayed the holographic map outside Black Iron City.
All members sat in the cockpits successively, and in front of the cockpit, the magic crystal screen displayed the various Goblin Leaders and Goblin Elites—indeed, this felt like playing a game within a game. Each player commanded a batch of siege monsters, and controlling them increased the experience of the behind-the-scenes player; the more monsters slain, the more experience was gained.
So, monster siege was not only a feast for players worldwide but also an experience feast for these behind-the-scenes elite players.
Because of this, players of Lost Paradise must absolutely keep secrets from outsiders, as they are the spoiled brats of investors and guild families.
Although these spoiled brats are not impressive at handling other affairs, they surprisingly achieved high consensus in dealing with civilian players. Their ineptitude didn't make the monster siege too absurd, nor did it arouse players' awareness, which is commendable.
Of course, the monsters controlled here cannot be those that grow automatically in the wild; they must be produced in the war factories of the Demon Race using Mineral Crystals. Metal is forged into weapons, Crystal Stones condense into flesh. And the largest production as cannon fodder underground is goblins.
Just then, a team member beamed: "Boss, today there are a lot of Boss-level controls available, I can control 5!"
Uriel arranged the list and indeed saw the situation!
Uriel chuckled: "This Divine Presence Battle Team isn't bad, these 3,000 people mining in Hell are incredibly effective! If they knew this was using the minerals they mined to attack the villages they occupy, how would they feel?"
The team member sighed: "It's just so frustrating not to disclose it to them!"
Uriel got angry again: "If you were a bit smarter, we wouldn't keep failing, you're the one making me frustrated!"
"It's not just me making mistakes..."
A team member quickly exclaimed: "Goblin Shaman! I can play a Goblin Shaman!"
Other members responded: "Me too!"
Uriel was surprised; Shamans are high-end products equivalent in combat power to the human city defense mage army! How did such high-end products get spawned?
Another team member shouted: "I have a Goblin Shaman chief riding a Two-legged Flying Dragon!"
The crowd erupted in amazement!
Uriel suddenly realized, although the first layer mines only extracted low-level Crystal Stones, there was a God Vein running through the 7 layers of Hell, capable of randomly producing Advanced Crystal Ore, usually only experts could mine there!
So this Divine Team has hidden deeply, probably clearing a hidden quest like the "Gold Miner" during beta testing?
Uriel got extremely displeased; can't let business partners snowball this way, the more they do, the more they need to attack their occupied villages!
Uriel ordered: "Listen up, all Advanced Shamans do not go to battle, each person keeps 2 Bosses, 5 Elites, all other monsters activate auto-mode, don't mind the Tata War God, at nightfall launch a total attack on Southern Canyon Village! So now, those who should be idling idle, and those who should rest, rest..."
