Chapter 42: Wu Shuang City's First City Resident
【Hidden Quest Card: Take it to any Main City and give it to the City Lord to unlock the quest.】
After reading the introduction of the Hidden Quest Card, Li Xiang put it in his backpack.
"The dungeon is over, it's time to leave."
Then, Li Xiang was confused. Why was there no option to exit the dungeon?!
"Huh?! What's going on?"
He looked around for a week but couldn't find the teleportation gate.
"Is it a BUG?"
Li Xiang was puzzled.
Suddenly, a narration appeared.
【Brave adventurer... The space here has been sealed. It needs my sacrifice to open it... It's a pity, I can't see You anymore...】
Seeing this narration, Li Xiang's heart trembled slightly.
【Farewell, brave adventurer...】
As this narration ended, the entire Black Bear Forest darkened.
Li Xiang's vision suddenly went black.
The next second, Li Xiang appeared outside the dungeon.
Looking at the Black Bears that had turned into four stone statues in front of him, Li Xiang's emotions hadn't even begun before he was bombarded by a large number of message notification sounds.
In the friends list, people from the major forces who had traded with Li Xiang earlier, after seeing the World broadcast, those who hadn't gone offline immediately expressed their congratulations to Li Xiang.
Inside the dungeon, he couldn't receive messages. As soon as he left the dungeon, the messages all exploded.
It lasted for half a minute before the message notification sounds finally stopped.
Li Xiang immediately replied to each one.
These were all his customers, he had to maintain good relationships.
After replying to all the customers, Li Xiang opened the chat box with Liu Yunfeng.
There were more than ten messages, the earliest one was an hour ago.
Liu Yunfeng told him that he had finished processing the equipment and materials and had arrived at the post station.
The most recent one was ten minutes ago, Liu Yunfeng said he was sleepy.
Still online!
Li Xiang quickly replied, saying he would be there immediately.
Closing the friends panel, Li Xiang rushed towards the Novice Village at top speed.
It was late at night in the game, very dark.
Monsters were also very active.
But the players in 0069 Novice Village were all crazy.
In the area of the Level 10 Magic Spider, there were already many players fighting monsters.
Looking at this trend, tonight, there would be many Level 10 players!
Reaching Level 10 on the first day of the server opening, this efficiency was already very, very high.
Although it couldn't be compared with himself.
...
Novice Village, Post Station.
Liu Yunfeng stood at the entrance of the post station, yawning.
He was truly sleepy.
As a miserable office worker, Liu Yunfeng, who had worked all day, was exploited by his dog boss to work unpaid overtime until past seven o'clock. When he got home, in order to experience myth, he quickly ate a few mouthfuls of rice and rushed into the game.
Now, outside the game, it was almost dawn.
Although playing games with a gaming helmet at night would lead to light sleep, it wasn't true sleep and there was still a difference compared to actual sleep.
Ding dong.
The message sound rang.
Liu Yunfeng immediately perked up.
"Qu Ming Giant... finally replied to me!!!"
Liu Yunfeng's sleepiness dissipated by more than half, "Received!!!"
A few minutes later, Li Xiang met with Liu Yunfeng.
Seeing that Liu Yunfeng had waited for him at the post station entrance for over an hour, Li Xiang felt quite embarrassed.
At the same time, he felt that Liu Yunfeng was a very genuine person and someone he could be friends with.
"Qu Ming, this is the game currency from selling the equipment just now, I'll transfer it to You."
The items Li Xiang gave him sold for a total of over 8 gold coins.
"Okay, I'll take it."
After receiving it, Li Xiang traded another 4 gold coins to Liu Yunfeng.
Liu Yunfeng was stunned when he saw the trade.
"Qu Ming... this..."
"It costs 3 gold coins for the travel fee to Wu Shuang City, and the remaining 1 gold coin is for your errand fee."
Seeing that Li Xiang said so, Liu Yunfeng accepted it, and his last bit of sleepiness also disappeared.
"Thank You, Qu Ming!!!"
"Let's go, to Wu Shuang City!"
"Okay!!!"
Liu Yunfeng happily followed behind Li Xiang and walked into the post station.
Before long, a carriage departed from the post station, carrying Li Xiang and Liu Yunfeng towards Wu Shuang City.
...
The carriage was very fast, and after more than ten minutes, they arrived at Wu Shuang City.
【Ding! Respected adventurer 'Qu Ge Mingzi Hao Nan', You are the 1st player to enter Wu Shuang City, gaining +1 Gold Coin. Please report to the City Gate Guard to register your household registration.】
The 1st one?!
Li Xiang was slightly surprised.
No players have come yet?!
However, upon reflection, Li Xiang understood.
Currently, apart from the players in 0069 Novice Village, there should be many players from other Villages who have reached Level 10, but to enter a Main City, two conditions must be met.
First is reaching Level 10, and second is defeating Bear Ba, the Novice Village gatekeeper BOSS.
As a Level 10 Gold-grade BOSS, Bear Ba is not that easy to deal with.
"Qu Ming, the system gave me 1 gold coin!"
Hearing Liu Yunfeng's words, Li Xiang casually said, "It gave me 1 as well."
The two went to the Guard together to report.
It turned out that registering the household registration also required paying money, 1 silver coin.
After paying the money and completing the registration, they obtained a Return to City Stone.
With the Return to City Stone, they could use it to return to Wu Shuang City from the wilderness while out of combat in the future.
【Ding! You are the first player to register household registration in Wu Shuang City, gaining the title 'Wu Shuang City's First City Resident'!】
"There's even a title?!"
Exchanging one silver coin for a title was not a loss.
Although this title didn't have any attributes.
Li Xiang turned his head and saw a long title appearing above Liu Yunfeng's head.
'Wu Shuang City's Second City Resident' Liu Yunfeng Lv.10
Wearing the title, Liu Yunfeng had an excited look on his face.
"I have a title!!! Hehe!"
Afterwards, Li Xiang and Liu Yunfeng entered the city together.
Compared to the Village, the city's area was too vast.
However, the ground was entirely paved with long blue bricks, and the buildings on both sides exuded the beauty of ancient China cities.
Due to it being nighttime, there were no NPC activities in the city except for patrolling Guards.
NPC service locations like the Job Change Guild were closed, quests couldn't be handed in, and job changes couldn't be done.
"Qu Ming, I'm going offline now, I have to go to work soon."
Liu Yunfeng's words pulled Li Xiang's gaze back.
"Okay."
The city is a safe zone, so one can go offline.
But the myth game is very realistic, and going offline also has gameplay.
After going offline normally, the game character will not disappear unless it's a forced offline, in which case the game character will disappear.
This means that if you go offline in a non-absolutely safe area, there is a chance of having items stolen...
The game officials have explicitly stated that some post-job change professions among players, such as the Thief profession and some NPCs, have stealing skills and can steal items from game characters that are offline.
Therefore, going offline is also a technical skill...
Liu Yunfeng also knew this, because he was planning to change his job to a Thief, and he also had a countermeasure for this...
Under Li Xiang's gaze, he swaggered over to the City Gate Guard and chose to go offline.
"Qu Ming, see You tonight!"
Then, his entire game character assumed a posture of sleeping against the wall.
Seeing this, Li Xiang gave a thumbs-up.
"Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!!"
Li Xiang, who was already Level 20, couldn't even see the attributes of this Guard NPC; they were all question marks, clearly indicating an incredibly high level...
Which Thief would dare to steal things in front of him!!!
