Chapter 60 Killing Both People and Monsters
Slightly ahead of schedule, when Wang Jue entered the Blood Prison Secret Realm, Audron also arrived at the 985 Novice Village.
He first went to the mercenary camp, and after studying it carefully, he went to the village square. Just as he was about to find an NPC to receive an adventure quest, he suddenly saw a group of people beating up Bandhu.
"Huh? What's going on? Why is Tiger getting ganged up on here?"
Audron was puzzled, so he went forward to take a look. He pretended not to know Bandhu and chatted with the players who were watching the commotion. He quickly learned what was going on.
The players besieging Bandhu were from the Wild Vegetable Legion.
The Wild Vegetable Legion was a name given to the players who foraged for wild vegetables on Wild Vegetable Slope. It was a small group of members, all of whom were poor and arrogant. The two Cloud Boat Capsules that Audron had previously sold were to players from the Wild Vegetable Legion.
They called Bandhu "Bandhu the lackey," saying he had harmed them.
Bandhu is currently being held down and trapped at the respawn point, where he's being tortured. I heard he's been killed over two hundred times already.
"Tiger Bro is really having a tough time!"
Audron sighed inwardly, but then a thought suddenly struck him, and he ran toward the NPC village chief's residence behind the village.
The village chief of the 985 beginner village is a middle-aged man with a bulbous nose. He stands in front of a thatched hut with a notice board behind him.
The notice board had some notes on adventure precautions and tips, but at this moment a jade token was also hanging there!
"It appeared just as expected! Tiger's life tablet!"
Odron's eyes lit up.
Adventurer players and lord players have different development paths. In fact, adventurer players also have a rating system. Completing adventure quests, learning skills, upgrading skills, and achieving achievements will increase the player's rating, while dying, losing skills, or committing violations will decrease the rating.
When a player's rating reaches a certain level, certain story missions will be triggered, such as leaving the starting village.
Odron heard that as long as a player's rating reaches 1000, they can leave the starting village, which is called "graduation".
At that time, the NPC village chief would recommend higher-level regions to players, and players could then travel to their preferred regions via the village's teleportation array, or respond to the player lord's recruitment and teleport to the player's territory.
The NPC village chief will also transfer the adventurer player's life card to him at the same time.
If a player's rating is too low, it will actually trigger a corresponding storyline.
Audron had seen on the village bulletin board that if a player's rating reached "-100", it would trigger a "listing" event. Specifically, the NPC village chief would put the player's life card up for the lord player to buy.
This means the player has been rejected by the village chief NPC, classified as a low-quality player, and treated like cargo—a form of expulsion.
At this moment, Bandhu was put on the shelves.
Odron went over to check and found that Bandhu's player rating had reached "-888", and the price of the life card was, wow, five dollars!
"You can buy Tiger's life token for just 5 yuan? Tsk tsk tsk, Tiger is really something else. This is unprecedented! If no one buys it, he'll never graduate from the newbie village in his entire life!"
Audron shook his head. He wasn't a lord and couldn't buy player life tokens. He also didn't know the relationship between Bandhu and Wang Jue. At this moment, he just wanted to tell Wang Jue the news as soon as possible so that Wang Jue could come and rescue Bandhu.
A moment later, Audron set sail, heading straight for Xuanzhou, but soon returned in a panic to the dock in the 985 beginner village.
"Damn it, pirates!"
Odron cursed and looked out at the chaotic starry sea. In his field of vision were seven starships. On the foremost starship stood a player holding a longbow, while on the six starships behind it stood half-human, half-deer elven tree spirits.
This team possesses powerful ranged attack capabilities. Just now, Audron witnessed them killing anyone they saw, mercilessly shooting down four players in a very short time and collecting their dropped items. That's why Audron rushed back in a panic, fearing that he too would fall victim to their attacks.
"Where did this lord come from, leading a team to hunt down players? So fierce! What does he want to do? Block the village entrance and kill people?"
Odron frowned.
The one leading the hunt for adventurous players was none other than the Great Domain Lord, Zhao Xuanlong.
Zhao Xuanlong has decided to take the pirate route. He is leading the ranged two-star unit, the Treant, to rampage through the Chaotic Star Sea and has already killed many players.
When adventurous players die in the Chaotic Star Sea, the items they drop will form treasure chests. Zhao Xuanlong kills and plunders, reaping extremely rich rewards. He has already collected more than twenty Cloud Boat Capsules!
Having tasted success, he clearly intends to continue this endeavor.
"The 985 newbie village is ahead! Alright, I'll ambush them outside the docks, kill the players coming and going, and plunder their valuables. Hehe, with my Tree Spirit, I'm invincible! If I keep plundering like this, I'll soon be able to build a fleet, roaming the stars, who can stand against me?"
Zhao Xuanlong kept picturing future scenarios in his mind, and the more he thought about it, the more excited he became.
However, after killing several more adventurer players, the adventurers coming and going at the dock all knew about this guy who killed indiscriminately, and they hated him so much that they complained to the NPCs.
Most of the NPCs in the starting village are unhelpful and basically ignore players' complaints and requests for help.
Therefore, Zhao Xuanlong swaggered around outside the village, and no one could stop him.
At this very moment, Wang Jue was in the Blood Prison Secret Realm, and he had arrived inside the basin-like crater, which was three or four hundred meters in diameter.
When Wang Jue checked the secret realm information panel again, the number of explorers who had entered the Blood Prison Secret Realm was approaching four hundred, and all the treasure chests in the volcanic area and the edge area had been collected.
However, the Blood Prison treasure chests are still there, and there are no explorers in the Blood Prison yet.
The passage to the Blood Prison is located in the center of the volcano, where a giant python boss as thick as a bucket is coiled. You must defeat it to enter the Blood Prison passage.
At this moment, eighty or ninety people had gathered in this basin-like volcanic crater. They were all watching and no one dared to make a move against the BOSS.
When Wang Jue arrived, he glanced around and immediately saw the basic information about the central BOSS.
[Lava Serpent: Four-Star Wild Monster Boss]
"Just a four-star monster!"
Wang Jue took out the [Duck Head Megaphone] and immediately broadcast a regional announcement: "Listen up, everyone! I am Thanos from the Titan Universe. You have five minutes to evacuate the crater immediately, or I will kill you and the monsters! This is not a joke, I repeat, this is not a joke!"
"What?"
"They even booked the whole place!"
"Killing both people and monsters, how arrogant!"
"Thanos? What kind of lousy overlord is this? I've never even heard of him."
"Hey, he has soldiers! Everyone, be careful!"
"Why don't we just kill him? I love torturing people like that..."
The players in the crater immediately started discussing it.
Wang Jue's shout attracted a lot of attention, but the effect was mediocre, and not many people left.
Five minutes passed quickly. Seeing that the players showed no sign of leaving, Wang Jue shook his head and sighed inwardly.
He coldly said to Mad Dog King, "Mad Dog King, open the vertical coffin. After I enter, you may begin your massacre. First, kill the players and heroes, and finally the lava fire serpents. Anyone who steps into the volcano's crater must be killed without exception!"
Wang Jue is decisive and does not act out of sentimentality.
In his mind, if you have the strength, you shouldn't be coy. How can you expect to get benefits while still playing the innocent victim?
Moreover, the Blood Prison Secret Realm is a map for skirmishes, and there are only so many treasure chests, so it's meant to be fought over. A win-win situation is simply impossible.
