Early morning,
Cangwu City was just as quiet as always.
A few snowflakes fell silently, like petals in late spring.
After the hustle and bustle, only chillness remained.
Wei Cheng walked alone atop the city walls, his steps light, his demeanor composed.
Over the past six months, he had been taking this walk daily because all the trialists in the city had gone off to earn their keep through monster hunting tasks.
It was essentially an unprecedented hunting banquet.
The number of hunting tasks released every day, the abundance of hunting instances available, and the generous rewards, drove even those practising non-combat related professions to take up arms.
These past six months have been like a gold-rush era, as the saying goes, even a pig can fly if it stands on the winds of opportunity.
And surely these trialists were much stronger than pigs.
"Fifteen days, it should be about right now,"
Wei Cheng murmured to himself.
