Domestic Turmoil
At the foot of the volcano, quite a few players had chosen not to enter the treasure hunt.
As the secret realm was about to close, these players had smug smiles on their faces, seemingly satisfied with their decision.
"I knew it all along. Obtaining the treasure in the secret realm wouldn't be easy. And indeed, it wasn't!" The leader of a small guild said to those around him, displaying several high-level pieces of equipment he had collected from the forest. "See that? Only one minute left before the secret realm closes, and none of the players inside have managed to secure the final treasure."
"Haha, our guild leader was right! Who would have thought there'd be so much gear hidden in the forest? Plus, it seems like the drop rate for equipment was much higher when we were killing those venomous spiders." another player added.
"Alright, it's about time we left the secret realm as well." the guild leader said with a laugh.
Just then.
