With the opening of the Instance Dungeon at the Misty Valley, the players flooded the camp of the mercenary team.
Soon.
The first batch of players that entered the Instance Dungeon made their return.
They could only manage to stay in the Dungeon for half an hour. They had been immediately teleported out of the Water Crystal Instance Dungeon…
Chu Liuqiu of the Glory Club had a grave expression, and even his teammates showed serious expressions. They had not expected the Instance Dungeon with normal difficulty to be so tough.
“It’s clear that we’re lacking high-level players. The Temple of Light and the clerics don’t have the holy light, so they are not useful.
“There are too many players with novice-level equipment and inferior combat power. We don’t have the ability to hold off the attacks of the monsters and clear the Instance Dungeon.”
Chu Liuqiu was perplexed. He glanced at his indignant teammates and the core players of the Glory Guild. “Let’s train hard and improve our skill level. We’ll buy some potions and equipment that can fend off the dark creatures at the apothecary.
“If we wait for too long, the prices of the potions will increase by a few times. We can stock them. It’ll be profitable if we resell them later or use them in the Instance Dungeon.”
“Yes, team leader.”
“We’re leaving now. Remember to call us when you’re challenging the Instance Dungeon…” A few high-level players of the Glory Guild waved their hands and left with looks of disappointment on their faces.
Chu Liuqiu had mentioned that they didn’t possess the ability to clear the Instance Dungeon. So they had to find other avenues to train.
As to challenge the Instance Dungeon, the players had to pay with their experience points. If they returned empty-handed a few times from the Instance Dungeon, it would be a great loss…
Many people on the forum were envious of the fact that the City of Dawn was the first region to open up an Instance Dungeon.
But nobody had expected the Instance Dungeon to be so tough. No one managed to clear it.
Although the players were smart and chose the Instance Dungeon with the lowest difficulty, they still couldn’t clear the dungeon. Everyone was even killed…
Many people aimed to upgrade their levels and equipment and sought to be the first one to clear the dungeon. Then they would be highlighted in the regional announcements and gain fame…
But the upper limit for normal difficulty was 100 persons. And the problem was that no single guild or club could gather that much equipment for the 100 persons.
Unless everybody cooperated together!
But there were too many complications.
William had arrived in the Black Lava Nation.
He had taken along Lautner, Alec, Legolas, and Albert.
After traversing the plains that were full of danger, the group separated at the border. William had nodded at his companions and headed west.
Lautner, Alec, Legolas, and Albert watched Wiliam leave. Then Lautner said, “Don’t worry about our Lord. Focus on our job, to go to the various cities of the Black Lava Nation and build up the Dawn Mercenary Team.”
The four of them knew that the Lord was in favor of the chosen ones as the latter rose up the levels fast and had an added bonus that they could revive. The Lord wanted to recruit them into the mercenary team.
William’s spies also informed him that Iron Nation was also recruiting the chosen ones on a large scale.
Only the Black Lava Nation was hesitant and ignored the players. Hence, the Iron Nation and the City of Dawn still had the option to recruit some more chosen ones.
“The NPCs are not foolish. The bold NPCs will not hesitate to use these chosen ones who can revive…” William was filled with a sense of crisis. It was impossible to gain the support of all the players.
Hence, he worked hard to increase his influence over the NPCs so that he could be powerful.
The hearts of the players were hard to figure out. They loved to compete and wanted to join opposing factions to fight. In William’s previous life, the Iron Nation was magnanimous but many players still defected to the Black Lava Nation.
The players were able to revive so they were reckless.
Dusk had arrived.
William was able to enter the city before the gates closed.
“Rhine City is the largest city in the eastern border of Iron Nation. It’s also the most important outpost!” William covered himself with a black cloak and his face became clouded in the shadows. He gave off a hostile vibe.
The security checks at the city gate were simple. William had many bogus identities to bluff the guards.
But his mysterious look attracted curiosity. There were 7,000 to 8,000 players in Rhine City. A team of players had just returned to the city after hunting the small mermen. They were browsing the shops along the streets when they discovered the mysterious NPC, William.
One of the players activated his insight.
Name: ??? (legendary)
Race: ???
Level: ???
Position level: ???
Health: ???
“Gosh, it’s the first time I encountered a legendary BOSS.” A player swallowed hard. He was glad he had used his insight as he discovered a legendary NPC.
“Yeah, he’s a legendary NPC. Shall we find out?”
“Forget it. He looks hostile. We’ll be killed if we approach him. I don’t wish to lose my experience points.” A player frowned. The players had been bullied in recent times by NPCs. Fortunately, the King’s order was passed down and their lives became better.
William discovered that the players were scrutinizing him, so he took a glance at them, and then went back to ignoring them. He hurried towards the interior of the city.
Whether it was an NPC or a player, as long as one changed one’s clothing and covered one’s face, nobody could know about one’s name.
Because of this setting, many players chose to become assassins…
“Since I’m here to create trouble, let me start with something big.” William inhaled deeply and walked towards the city lord’s palace.
It was quite a long journey.
Many bored players gaped in astonishment when they saw William. They were curious why a legendary NPC appeared in the city.
Hence, they trailed William and wanted to see if they could trigger any missions.
As the crowd became larger, it looked like a procession was following William.
The patrolling guards hurried over as they feared that the chosen ones would create trouble.
A guard said in a deep voice, “The chosen ones seem to be following the black-robed man.”
“Am I blind? That dubious character is going towards the city lord’s palace. Why are the chosen ones following him?” The level 45 patrol leader frowned. He led his soldiers and blocked William’s path.
“Please show me your identity card.”
“What are you saying?” William asked as he turned around slowly.
“Produce your identity card!” The patrol leader looked sternly, and his left hand went for the sword hilt.
“Okay!”
William replied.
William immediately pressed his right hand on the patrol leader’s head without giving him any chance to resist. Then he emitted the thunder battle energy on the patrol leader.
Bang.
The crowd saw the black-robed man press on the patrol leader’s head, while charging forward like a bull.
A large, unexplainable force was emitted, and all the soldiers behind the patrol leader were all knocked down. Electricity wreaked havoc in the soldiers’ bodies as they crashed into the shops by the streets.
The body of the patrol leader was very large and powerful, but in front of William, he looked like a kid. William shifted his right hand down and grasped the patrol leader’s throat tightly with his steel-like fingers. Then William threw the patrol leader to the side.
Crash.
A large hole had been formed on the huge door of the city lord’s palace.
William leaped in while his palms emitted blue light. The soul of the dying patrol leader that was being sucked out of his body then started to be pressed back…
The crowd gaped in astonishment…
Soon…
Many players who were doing live broadcasts saw the dying patrol leader stand up once again. Half of his health points were healed. However, the patrol leader started killing his soldiers…
The black-robed man was like a grim reaper as he stepped silently into the darkness.
