At the same time, he logged in on the mobile client right away. This account had only just been registered as well.
The only problem with Infinite Borders on PC was that logging in required scanning a QR code with the mobile client.
The new servers had already opened up to Zone 515.
If it had been fifteen days earlier, he could have gone to Zone 500.
If he remembered correctly, Zone 500 still had an extremely strong Mowu, and they had enjoyed a period of glory. But by the time Li Fan played Infinite Borders, there were barely any old powerhouse alliances left, only some veteran players from before. So he had only heard bits and pieces from the old players and understood it only vaguely.
Still, he had participated in the first Infinite Borders World Cup, the strongest battle between Shengtian and Xinmeng.
At the time, he had been a main member of the Xingtian Regiment.
After that battle, he was more or less semi-retired from the game. Later on, he had just drifted along with Shishi’s Zijin Regiment. The big sponsor of the Zijin Regiment was Ye Gucheng, who had set a record of three million jade spent on treasures, which converted to three hundred thousand RMB.
That was why people said Infinite Borders was both pay-to-win and grind-heavy.
A perfect team with eighteen reds was basically a small apartment in a county town, which was how treasure-farming merchants came into being.
Li Fan had once forged a fully red Xiaorui cavalry bow and sold it on the Treasure Pavilion for the high price of two hundred and ten thousand.
Once everything was ready, he scanned the code and entered the game.
The server opened at nine o’clock. It was now eleven, so there was no need to wait; he could go straight in.
A large map appeared in the game.
To put it simply, Infinite Borders was a strategy card game set against the backdrop of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Eastern Han dynasty.
So this map was also a complete restoration of the real Three Kingdoms. There were thirteen provinces on the map in total.
Yang, Xu, Qing, Jing, You, Ji, Bing, Liang, and Yi—these nine provinces were ordinary provinces where players could choose to land.
As for Yong, Yu, Yan, and Sili, these four major provinces were resource provinces. To enter them, one had to break through passes, and there were more high-level lands inside.
Sili was the most important of all, because Luoyang was there!
Once Luoyang was taken, one could obtain the Conquest achievement at season settlement.
Of course, during this period, Luoyang might also be snatched away.
But generally speaking, once an alliance took Luoyang, its advantage was already massive. Only very rarely would it overturn.
But whenever there was an overturn, there would be plenty of drama to watch. This was also one of the very interesting things about Infinite Borders.
Li Fan did not hesitate in the slightest and directly chose to land in Yang Province.
The reason was very simple. In the S1 season, the two strongest provinces were Yang Province and Yi Province. The main reason was that a great many whales landed there.
The chances of becoming the Conquest Alliance were higher… which meant there would be more slots available.
Then, if he spent a little himself, his chances of getting a slot would still be very high.
And the Conquest Alliance in S1 could pull from the Conquest card pack in S2.
Inside were Ghost Lü, the number one physical damage dealer, as well as Dudu’s Lu Xun, Wei Strategist Guo Jia, Shu Infantry Pang Tong, and Tank Infantry Dong Zhuo.
It could be said that they were all good stuff. So if one wanted to play Infinite Borders, then getting Conquest in S1 was a must.
Li Fan was too lazy to come up with a name, so he directly used the one he had used before: Xia丶Li Xunhuan.
Only then did he take a look at where he had landed. It was near Poyang, at 1362, 867.
As for the map of Infinite Borders, it was divided into a total of 2.25 million grids.
This was where the concept of paving roads came from. If you wanted to attack a piece of land, you needed to pave your way over one grid at a time.
As for land strength, it ranged from level one to level nine. The resources obtainable from them varied. The higher the level, the more resources there were, and of course, the stronger the defenders.
High-level lands also had additional effects. For example, level-six lands could build mints, level-seven lands could build resource cities, level-eight lands had watchtowers, and level-nine lands had taverns.
Of course, level-six lands, which could provide more copper coin income, were often the players’ favorite.
Because copper coins could be used to recruit material cards and could also be converted into tactic experience.
First, he checked the nearby resources. They were all quite good. There were more than ten level-five lands, and there was even a level-nine iron land right by his doorstep.
There were also level-three and level-four lands needed in the early stage.
Then he glanced at the rankings. Yang Province’s development ranking was first. In two hours, someone had already reached nine hundred power. Clearly, this player had already started taking level-five lands.
According to the current development process, this was actually already very fast. After all, at this stage, early development was still mainly centered on Ma Chao, in a version where Shu Infantry reigned supreme.
As the versions changed, more and more abnormal generals and abnormal systems appeared.
Of course, the biggest change was caused by Le Jin. This general card completely changed the early development landscape of Infinite Borders.
The original upper limit of six thousand four hundred power was forcefully broken through to ten thousand, and later Yu Jin pushed that record up to twelve thousand.
But right now, things were still very simple.
After that, under the eyes of the viewers in the livestream room, Li Fan opened the recharge interface.
648 + 328 + 198 + 98 + 68 + 30 + 6.
He directly bought one full set of double bonuses.
Of course, he did not forget to add another monthly card.
It came to exactly one thousand four hundred and six yuan.
For the current Li Fan, this was an acceptable expense.
EDG had paid last month’s salary at the beginning of the month. Li Fan was very satisfied with this point. As one of the few clubs that did not withhold wages, they deserved a thumbs-up.
As for Huya, he should be able to get quite a bit this month.
As long as he had a stable four or five hundred yuan in gift income every day.
Calculating it this way, his monthly income was now over twenty thousand.
With this set of recharges, the account now had over twenty-nine thousand jade.
There was also another kind of currency called Tiger Talismans, which could be obtained through game missions and had the same function as jade talismans.
Since he had recharged jade and had not yet begun development, the first thing to do was naturally draw cards!
Aside from special card packs, permanent card packs cost 200 jade for one draw and 950 for five draws.
The S1 season card pool was extremely pure. Aside from a few material cards, all the other cards were very useful.
Especially Ma Chao, who was invincible for early development at the current stage.
If you had Ma Chao, you were a cut above others. You did not have to bitterly use Taishi Ci for early development.
However, although it looked like he had over twenty thousand jade and could do more than thirty five-pulls, with those thirty pulls… if he only got the guaranteed cards, he might only draw three or four five-star cards. If his luck was bad and he did not get a single core card, then this thousand-plus yuan would be completely wasted.
But that was normal too. Sometimes, even after spending twenty or thirty thousand, there would not be so much as a splash.
Precisely because of that, Li Fan actually did not hold much hope when drawing cards.
The first pull was all four-star cards, but there was a Li Ru among them. This card was quite good. Its cost was relatively low for early development, and in S1, it could form the best civilian Han Bow team.
His luck on the first pull was still decent. Li Fan was fairly satisfied with this card.
But what he did not expect was that on the second pull, a red glow actually appeared!
A five-star?
So soon?
Li Fan was somewhat surprised.
He hurriedly clicked the mouse to make the animation skip faster.
But when he saw the hero, his heart tightened at once!
Holy shit!
One pull, soul hit!
Ma Chao!
His luck was actually this good?
Then again, if his luck were bad, how could he have transmigrated?
Although Infinite Borders was a niche game, there were still a few people in the livestream room who played it.
After seeing Ma Chao, they could not help but burst out with a “holy shit.”
【???】
【You can actually get Ma Chao? Then why did I get Zhou Tai?】
