Bab 50: Your Chest Is Bigger Than Me
Editor: Larbre Studio
In actuality, Ye Chen was not too concerned about the Wanted Kill Warrant of the Warring Dragon Guild. As long as he reached Level 30, he no longer had to worry about being suppressed by adventurers of Level 20 or 30.
There were many small towns within the Titan Megacity. When the teleportation array was sent to these small towns, one would see that behind their names, there were level suffixes enclosed in brackets. Take the town of Aiur where Ye Chen has stayed for three years. If one were to look at the town of Aiur at the teleportation array, one would see a suffix of Level 30 to 35 behind it.
This meant that this town was the most suitable for Level 30 to 35 adventurer activity. When the adventurer's level was higher than 35, the adventurer would be judged as unsuitable for this town. Although the adventurer could still hunt monsters within this town, the experience from killing monsters will be significantly reduced, and the adventurer's skills will no longer have an effect on lower-level adventurers within the town.
This was a measure set in place by the system to protect low-level adventurers. With this measure, low-level adventurers did not need to be threatened by opponents with disparate levels and be left helpless. However, this was only true for small towns with level suffixes. In most suburbs of larger cities, there was no level limit preventing PK.
However, this was already sufficient for Ye Chen.
At Level 30, Ye Chen can inherit the achievements of his previous character, and immediately complete the Epic task "The Stone of Eternity." At that time, when facing opponents who were merely 5 levels above him, unless the other party comes at him with hundreds of people each time, or he can't think of anything to fear!
If the Warring Dragon Guild was really ruthless to the extent where they would pursue him to this Level 30 zone, Ye Chen was more than ready to use the Afterimage of Angels to send a giant welcome gift to the Warring Dragon Guild!
The Warring Dragon Guild was the top-ranked guild, and there were many high-profile high crime points adventurers in the guild. These adventurers boast of immense combat potential and had superb equipment. Most of them will be hidden in the City of Glory.
In the City of Glory, there exists the only mission NPC in the entire Oriental Region who could reduce the crime value. adventurers with a high crime value, who want to clear the crime value from their bodies earlier, could only do so in the City of Glory. The City of Glory could be said to have gathered at least 60% of the red-named adventurers in the Oriental Region. The top-ranked guilds had even gone to the extent of establishing branch guilds in the City of Glory to protect the red-named adventurers of their guilds.
And in the City of Glory, the branches of the top guilds have a tacit understanding. No matter how their respective guilds were behaving in the outside world, as long as they did not reach the point where there were irreconcilable grievances, they would not target the red-named adventurers of the other guilds.
These were several major guilds. In the City of Glory, they engaged each other in a massive conflict spanning over half a year. As a result, the several guilds reached a tacit agreement after suffering grievous damages. In the past three years, not a single guild had attempted to break this tacit understanding!
The reason was very simple. Those red-named adventurers were actually the mainstay of these guilds. Their red-named statuses were mostly acquired when carrying out missions for the guild. After entering the City of Glory, they still had to engage in bitter combat. As a result, the red-named adventurers either chose to withdraw from the guild or when fighting inside the City of Glory, they die repeatedly and lose countless equipment. Even if they didn't withdraw from the guild, their fighting strength was crippled, and their combat potential wasted.
And the most unfortunate result was not only the loss of these red-named adventurers. When the tragic encounters of those red-named adventurers were relayed back to the guild, no one in the guild would foolishly labor for the guild to the extent of acquiring a red-name.
When every member harbored such thoughts, the guild was practically finished.
Several big guilds suffered heavy losses during the half a year of fighting, severely damaging their foundations. Finally, the guild leaders of each guild strictly banned members of their respective guilds from fighting in the City of Glory. No matter how bitter their feuds with each other were, they were to be settled outside of the City of Glory.
Not only that, but the major guilds also planted eyes in various parts of the City of Glory. Once any abnormal behavior was detected in anyone entering the City of Glory, they would swiftly band together against the threat.
It was not a simple matter to lay a hand on the red-named adventurers in the City of Glory. Still, Ye Chen knew that since he possessed the Afterimages of Angel, wanting to launch a sneak attack on the members of the Warring Dragon Guild in the City of Glory was an effortless task.
But now that the Warring Dragon Guild suddenly clammed up and even retracted their warrants, Ye Chen was taken aback. The original plan to sneak into the City of Glory was naturally canceled.
If one were to want to sneak into the City of Glory, one had to spend a lot of time checking the location and time of the Warring Dragon Guild's members. Moreover, once the sneak attack succeeded, they would become irreconcilable enemies with the Warring Dragon Guild!
Although Ye Chen was not afraid, things would become very troublesome, and his leveling plan will be significantly affected.
"Boss, you are too awesome! The Warring Dragon Guild must be scared shitless of you, Boss!" Dharma excitedly rambled. He would never have expected that after Ye Chen showed his hand, the Warring Dragon Guild would be terrified to this extent! The Boss was worthy of being called the Boss!
"Where do I have such a great power to influence the Warring Dragon Guild? There must be another reason for this," Ye Chen smiled wryly and chided. This kid really did not know better.
With Ye Chen's understanding of the Warring Dragon Guild, the situation turning out this way was definitely not because the Warring Dragon Guild feared him. The most likely reason was that someone had struck a deal with the Warring Dragon Guild executives, and forced the Titan Megacity branch to cease their pursuit.
But who had such authority?
This person was definitely not someone who knew him. As for Dharma… If this kid knew that person of authority, then he can easily win the annual Oscar nomination! Purple Olive? It didn't seem like it. The most likely candidate was the Queen of the Night then. The Queen of the Night had only said a handful of words in the team, and Ye Chen had no idea about her background. As for Dharma and Purple Olive, they had more or less conversant.
Take Purple Olive for example, when they were leveling in Big Snowy Mountain a while ago, she had already expressed her grand plan with great enthusiasm. Dharma had mentioned that when he had entered the game, besides playing for enjoyment, his primary purpose was to get to know a beautiful chick. Only Queen of the Night has always acted like a bystander, not saying much. As for matters pertaining to herself, she was naturally even more reluctant to divulge any details.
However, these thoughts that would get him nowhere were something which Ye Chen did not dwell on for too long. If he could waste time thinking about this, he might as well go to level up. It was imperative to raise his level as early as possible.
"Warring Dragon Guild not searching for us anymore is the best possible outcome. At least, all of you are considered safe for now. How about it, do you want to continue leveling up?" Ye Chen glanced at the several people around him.
"Let's go!"
There was no objection on Dharma and the Queen of the Night's end, but there was a slight hesitation in Purple Olive's face.
"Little Olive, don't blame me for not warning you, but with your current level, it's embarrassing to even show your face outside. Tell me, what accomplishment do you think a Level 20 something Priest can achieve in the game? Could it be that you hope to solely rely on that passably pretty face of yours? Go to the forum and take a look at who all the famous female adventurers are. In addition to being beautiful, they are all unrivaled experts in the game!" Ye Chen looked at Purple Olive and laughed scornfully.
"You are the Little Olive! What do you mean by a passably pretty face, why don't you list me a few examples of adventurers more good looking than me?!" Purple Olive angrily retorted.
"Besides your chest, what else do you have that is bigger than me… As for someone prettier than you, let alone the famous female adventurers on the forum, I think the Night in our team possesses much more charisma than you." Ye Chen shamelessly stared at the proud and arching chest of Purple Olive and even glanced a few more times. It was indeed very enticing to the eye.
"Hmph! I've got it, I'll just go level, okay? Are you happy now?" Purple Olive choked due to her overflowing rage for a while. She could only glare at Ye Chen resentfully, bitterly spitting out the words.
Hehe, Priest acquired! Ye Chen secretly gloated. Little lass, you are still far too tender to dream of bickering with me.
With such a great Priestess around, only a fool would choose not to use her and find another Priest!
"Okay! Let's head to Big Snowy Mountain to level up, in case the Warring Dragon Guild goes back on its word!" As their warrants were only just canceled, Ye Chen and the others didn't want to get into trouble at this time. They might as well go level at the Big Snowy Mountain today, it won't hinder their leveling speed by much anyway.
The party returned to Big Snowy Mountain to level up. Within that hour, no one from the Warring Dragon Guild appeared, and Ye Chen's level swiftly rose to 19.
"Oh right, Boss, I want to train another secondary Profession, what do you suggest?" After engaging in the practice for a while, Dharma suddenly seemed to have remembered something and asked Ye Chen.
"Train another secondary Profession? Hmm, it's not impossible, which secondary did you practice before?" Ye Chen curiously asked. There was no limit to the number of secondary Professions in the game. adventurers could pick as many as they liked, but the majority of the adventurers would only pick one because, after successfully choosing a secondary Profession, the adventurer would generate an additional attribute called "Stamina."
The Stamina attribute, for adventurers below Level 30, was fixed at 300 points. Every time their level was increased by 1, Stamina would increase by 10 points. Whenever adventurers use their secondary Profession skills to create secondary profession-specific items, it would consume Stamina. When the Stamina value was exhausted, they basically could only wait until the next day for the system to refresh. Hence, practicing more secondary Professions was only a waste of effort and time.
"I chose an Architect, a truly headache-inducing profession." Dharma bitterly smiled.
At first, he thought that the Architect profession would be fun, but it was exponentially difficult to practice it. Moreover, he found that if he wanted to practice this secondary Profession by himself, it was impossible without investing a vast amount of resources.
"Cough, yeah, it's better to train another secondary Profession. I suggest that you practice being a Chef. The raw materials of the Chef are not too expensive. The cooked food can also speed up the recovery of HP and MP when not fighting. It can even produce some food that increases Stamina and attributes temporarily. It is a promising and straightforward secondary Profession." Ye Chen felt fat droplets of sweat rolling off his back after hearing that Dharma chose the Architect profession.
Very few people could practice the Profession by themselves unless they were funded by major guilds!
