The competition wasn't very fierce not because there was anything wrong with the forbidden zone, but because...
Large forbidden zones shouldn't open at this time.
Thus, two awkward situations arose.
As for the five kill targets, no one dared to even think about them, because they simply couldn't win.
If the world battlefield were in its mid to late stages, and everyone's strength was sufficient to deal with those five targets, Bai Ye could completely imagine the scene.
The chosen ones would definitely rush forward to kill those five targets. Not only would they have to fight against the five targets for the rewards, but they would also have to fight fiercely among themselves for the rewards.
The other awkward thing was the complete lack of preparation.
This large forbidden zone opened too suddenly.
Normally, large forbidden zones were different from regular ones. They wouldn't open so easily or so abruptly, because opening a large forbidden zone was a very complicated matter.
In fact, in Bai Ye's previous life, although the rewards for large forbidden zones could be obtained, the opening of large forbidden zones was almost always controlled by factions like the Hidden Dragon Society and the Evil Spirit Group.
This was because they had more people and could control the timing of the forbidden zone's opening, allowing them to be well-prepared before it began.
It was worth mentioning that large forbidden zones were always accompanied by large-scale battles.
This large forbidden zone was considered a more "merciful" type, only requiring everyone to escape. The points of conflict requiring combat were not obvious.
Therefore, this large forbidden zone was significantly different from the scene in Bai Ye's memory, and to some extent, it had fallen short of expectations.
Even though the battle with the dragon was not easy, compared to Bai Ye's memory, obtaining a designated golden-quality item like this was already a very low-difficulty situation.
As for the first and top ten positions, which awarded two golden-quality items...
Bai Ye could only say they were as good as picking them up for free.
This was definitely not what a normal large forbidden zone should look like in Bai Ye's memory.
From this perspective, Bai Ye really had to thank Li Jia Yi. This guy was completely showering him with wealth.
However...
Li Jia Yi's gains could also be imagined to be extremely substantial.
Li Jia Yi was only short of being the "first to leave" compared to Bai Ye. Two golden-quality items were guaranteed, along with one red and one black quality item each.
Most importantly...
This large forbidden zone was created by Li Jia Yi. Since he could create such a large forbidden zone, he must have been prepared, and with preparation, there was a chance of extra rewards.
Things like hidden quests were very likely.
Large forbidden zones, in addition to zone quests, usually came with hidden quests.
Therefore, Li Jia Yi's danger level in Bai Ye's mind had to be significantly raised.
Li Jia Yi had also just exited the zone boundary at this moment. If he knew what Bai Ye was thinking, he would definitely exclaim, "I'm wronged! I had no preparations whatsoever. I never thought I'd create a large forbidden zone."
Fortunately, Bai Ye only dwelled on it for a short while before not thinking too much about it.
Li Jia Yi had already escaped, and there was nothing he could do about it. What else could he do?
In any case, the fact that he had benefited was undeniable. Being optimistic, he could consider Li Jia Yi to have brought him wealth, and he would reluctantly let the guy off the hook once more.
As Bai Ye thought, his movements were not slow. He quickly spread out his electrical field and then transformed into current to move, quickly leaving the vicinity of the zone boundary.
Quite a few people would be leaving the zone boundary next. Once people gathered, it was possible that battles would ensue.
The end of each forbidden zone was usually accompanied by chaos.
It was best to avoid such a free-for-all if possible, as it was very easy to capsize in a gutter.
Only after moving far away did Bai Ye have the leisure to see what he had obtained.
Imperial Artifact: Military Music Dream (Item) (Black): When played, its music has a special effect.
Effect...
...
The black-quality item Bai Ye randomly received was a flute that could manipulate emotions and boost morale through music. Through special musical playing, it could also strengthen one's physique, a skill known as Oni Summoning.
Bai Ye's evaluation of it was: a small toy!
Of course, being a black-quality item, it couldn't really be just a toy. This thing was quite good, capable of mental attacks, creating buffs, and strengthening the body.
But under the current circumstances, with more important matters ahead, this black-quality item was truly just a small trinket.
Next was the red-quality random item, and Bai Ye couldn't help but smile. He was familiar with this item.
Ion Beam Turret x6 (Item) (Red): Small turrets that can be placed on any solid surface, each with a durability of 1000/1000.
Effect: Fixed Installation (Can be installed on any object with a physical form)
Automatic Firing (Ion Beam Turrets will automatically shoot at enemy targets within a radius of 150 meters)
Manual Mode (Ion Beam Turrets can be switched to manual mode for human-controlled firing)
Bai Ye had obtained this thing in his previous life. It was palm-sized, with decent power, comparable to a standard ion beam pistol. It was a basic future technology weapon.
However, it was not classified as a weapon but as a prop. It needed to be placed somewhere to be used.
It was typically used as a defensive weapon rather than an offensive one. It could be disassembled at any time before its durability was exhausted.
To call this thing red-quality, considering its power and effect, was a bit of an overstatement.
But as a prop, Ion Beam Turrets came in sets of at least six for red-quality and up to eighteen for golden-quality.
Its quality, exceeding its power and effect, was mainly due to its quantity.
This thing...
Bai Ye's evaluation was: mediocre for now.
As an old acquaintance he had encountered in his previous life, Bai Ye knew this item was very useful, but it required a base of operations to set up a line of fire.
But it only became useful if there was a base, so it was useless for now.
However, in his previous life, Bai Ye had occupied a large area in the eastern district and established his own stronghold. This item was very useful then.
Anyone who wanted to enter his stronghold would first receive a barrage from the Ion Beam Turrets.
Of course, it was also useful for camping in the wilderness. By setting them up around the perimeter, he could sleep peacefully.
If someone approached, the Ion Beam Turrets would attack automatically. Whether they could defeat the enemy was another matter, but at the very least, they provided perfect early warning. Once the guns fired, Bai Ye would naturally wake up.
As for bypassing the automatic firing of the Ion Beam Turrets, it was very difficult. At least Bai Ye knew that abilities like stealth and invisibility were ineffective against them.
