Chapter 19 Dangyang City
Zhang Shan chose to teleport to Dangyang City in the State of Chu. A white light flashed, and then it turned into a white light and disappeared in the novice village.
In a magnificent building, a white light flashed, and Zhang Shan appeared in the teleportation hall in Dangyang City. He looked around carefully, and found that Dangyang City was so big that it was hard to imagine, and there was no edge at all. After comparing it with the small map, Zhang Shan found that it would take an hour or two to run from one side of the city to the other. It was much larger than the entire map of the Novice Village. It was really ridiculously large.
Fortunately, I heard from Fengyun Tianxia that you can teleport anywhere in the city. Zhang Shan tried it and it was true. As long as he thought about it, he could teleport to where he wanted to go in the city.
This function is very useful. Otherwise, it would take half an hour just to get out of the city.
Looking around, neat rows of buildings and wide roads line the city, NPC aborigines are bustling in and out of the city, and occasionally you can see teams of NPC troops, with gorgeous armor and weapons emitting orange light. Do all the soldiers have orange weapons? NPCs are so strong that they have no friends.
Zhang Shan looked at his friend list and saw that Feng Ling was still online, so he asked her where she was.
"I'm in Dangyang City. Where are you now?"
"I'm killing monsters outside the city with my brother. The monsters outside the city are much harder to kill than those in the Novice Village, and the experience and gold they give are not much. If I had known earlier, I would have killed more monsters in the Novice Village. Come over here soon, I'll join you."
Zhang Shan joined the team, looked at the location, then teleported to the nearest city gate and ran towards where they were spawning monsters.
After arriving at the place, Zhang Shan discovered that in addition to Feng Ling and Feng Yun Tian Xia, there was another guild member, Feng Yun Yi Dao. It seemed that the others were also leveling up very quickly.
"Hey, Brother Liuguan, that's great. We've already left the Novice Village so soon."
"Brother Yidao, you are faster. We had to defeat two bosses before we could reach level 10. How did you do it? Why are you faster than me?"
"What else can we do? We need to hire people to help us kill and pull the monsters. Otherwise, we may not be able to leave the village until tomorrow morning."
“Ahhh.”
"He's pretty good to be able to hire people to help. The poor thief Fengyun the killer had to wait until the evening to pay a high price to hire two people, and he doesn't know when he can leave the village." Feng Ling teased.
"Hey, luck."
The monster that spawned on this map was a demonized bear, not small in size, and also a level 10 monster. A single blow from Fengyun dealt 300 to 400 damage, while they only dealt 100 to 100 damage to the bear. If Fengling hadn't been there, they probably wouldn't have been able to defeat it.
Zhang Shan also joined in attacking the monster, but only reduced its health by a hundred points with one shot.
"Damn, why are the monsters here so strong? I only deal such little damage with my 240 attack power. How can I level up? Do all the monsters have such high defense? Does the bear give much experience?" Zhang Shan asked depressedly.
"Not much experience, just like a unicorn."
“No way, aren’t there any monsters that are easier to kill? How can I level up from now on? It takes 200,000 experience points to upgrade from level 10 to level 11. At this speed, I can’t even upgrade in a day.” Zhang Shan was speechless.
"The bear is the easiest monster to fight here. I've been in Dangyang City for more than three hours and have searched all the nearby maps. Other monsters are even harder to fight. Some monsters have an absurdly high magic resistance, and I can only take a few drops of their blood at once. Other monsters also have high defenses, and they don't lose much blood even with normal attacks." Fengyun Tianxia explained.
Zhang Shan...
"Don't worry. The main reason is that everyone's equipment is not very good now, and we are not familiar with the map. Once everyone has better equipment, we will be able to win." Feng Ling encouraged Zhang Shan.
Fengyun Yidao also complained: "That's right, the weapon I'm using is still level 10 green. The best axe in the auction house is a purple axe. Guess how many gold coins others bid for it? The starting price is 10,000 gold coins. It's ridiculously expensive. The key is where to get gold coins now. There are not many people selling gold coins in the exchange now. I can't get much gold coins even if I want to. It's worse than when I was in the Novice Village."
"It's okay . There are too few players who can come to the city now, and most of them are high-end players. We only buy and don't sell. After a few days, when there are more players in the city, we can go to the exchange to exchange gold coins. By then, the quantity and price of gold coins should be stable." Fengyun Tianxia said.
"What is an exchange? Is it a place to exchange gold coins?" Zhang Shan asked puzzledly.
"Yes, the New World Exchange is a bit like the real stock exchange. The game currency is the securities, and you can directly use blue coins to buy gold coins . There is one in every city, and the entire game is connected." Feng Ling explained.
"Oh, I really didn't notice it . There are too many buildings in the city. It's dazzling. I didn't look carefully. However, the setting of this exchange is very novel. No wonder you said before that the game currency in the new world may become the second currency. If the transaction is convenient and there are more players, it is entirely possible."
"Well, there is such a trend. Right now, the output of gold coins is still too little, and the demand is too high, so it can't be stabilized. I guess it will be freely traded in the future. After all, there are many players in the new world. There are already tens of millions of people online, and there will be more in the future. There will be many people who specialize in earning gold coins, which can meet the demand."
"By the way, where can I buy the scroll of returning to the city? I didn't see it in the grocery store. Is there no scroll of returning to the city here?" Zhang Shan didn't bring the scroll of returning to the city because he didn't know where to buy it.
"No way, Brother Liuguan, you are so cool. You don't need a scroll to return to the city. As long as you bind your city resident identity with the civil affairs officer, you can get something like a token. Put it in the package and use it as a scroll to return to the city. It's just that the cooldown time is a bit long. You can only use it once every ten minutes." Fengyun Yida complained.
"No way, I really don't know. Wait a moment, I'll go back and bind my identity first. Fortunately, this place is not far from the city." Zhang Shan was a little speechless.
Running back to the city, Zhang Shan found the location of the civil affairs officer and teleported there.
"Young man, welcome. Do you want to join Dangyang City?"
"Yes."
"This is your identity token. After joining Dangyang City, you must obey the city lord's orders and fight against the demons together. Please confirm."
confirm.
There was an extra token in Zhang Shan’s package, and he checked the token information.
Six-tube Bodhisattva, a resident of Dangyang City, merit 100. This is their first merit for killing the Wild Boar King, but they have never known how to use it, and it has not been reflected in the attributes, but now they can finally see it on the identity token.
I looked at the uses of merit. It takes 200 merits to set up a guild, 1,000 merits to buy a property, and after 1,000 merits, you can start to get an official position. There are nine ranks of official positions: squad leader, centurion, lieutenant, deputy general, guerrilla general, lieutenant general, general of the east, general of the left, and general.
After you hold an official position, you can receive a weekly salary from the civil affairs official. The salary for low-level officials is very little and meaningless, but the salary for high-level officials is very good.
But players should not think about it for now. Zhang Shan couldn't even count how many zeros the merit points required for the highest position, general. It was very exaggerated anyway. Even the lowest position, sergeant, required a thousand merit points. I don't know how long it would take to get it. The salary was only one gold coin a week, which was not very meaningful to players.
After binding his identity, Zhang Shan went to the exchange again and saw three other players there. However, Zhang Shan didn't know any of them, so he didn't say hello.
I checked the currency exchange interface of the exchange. There was very little information about the seller, and someone actually listed one gold coin for 10,000 blue coins, which was really cruel.
As for the other selling orders, most of them were sold for more than one thousand gold coin, which was ten times more expensive than in the Novice Village, which was quite ruthless.
There were many orders from buyers. Zhang Shan saw an order of ten blue coins for one gold coin, which was a total of one million gold coins. He was really rich. That was ten million blue coins. However, this person was destined not to be able to buy gold coins, at least not in the next one or two days.
The other orders were mostly 100 blue coins for 1 gold coin, basically there was not much difference. Zhang Shan thought about it and put up his four gold coins, one gold coin for 1,000 blue coins. Anyway, if there was no deal, there would be no charge, just in case a big shot was in urgent need of gold coins.
Although he has earned 210,000 blue coins by defeating the boss today, it’s better to have more blue coins, right? Zhang Shan’s dream of earning blue coins is still there.
Zhang Shan did not go to the auction house. He did not have any gold coins in his hand. Even if he liked something, he could not afford it.
Return to the monster-killing team.
Zhang Shan asked, "Boss Tianxia, have we established our guild? I checked and found that you can establish a guild with 200 merits. Don't you have 200 merits?"
Fengyun Tianxia obtained 100 merits by defeating the Wild Boar King, and another 100 merits by being the first to leave the Novice Village. This should be enough to qualify to establish a guild, but Zhang Shan had not heard them talk about it, nor had he heard any system announcements, so he didn't know the situation, so he asked.
"You think too simply. Two hundred merits are just the most basic requirement. You also need one million gold coins. Most importantly, you need special items, the Heroes Order. Gold coins are easy to get. I should be able to buy them in a few days, but I don't know how to get Heroes Orders yet. Maybe they will drop from the boss. As for other sources, it depends on luck."
Fengyun Tianxia also said unhappily that he thought that as the first one to enter the city, he should be able to be the first to establish a guild. He didn't know that establishing a guild would be so difficult and require so many things.
"The Heroes Order should be difficult to obtain. If it can be dropped by monsters, it should have been spawned by someone among the tens of millions of players in the entire game. Now we haven't heard any rumors, and it may not be dropped by monsters at all. We probably still have to defeat the boss to have a chance. When our people arrive in Dangyang City tomorrow, we'll look around to see if there are any easy-to-beat bosses. We'll be able to defeat it if we try more." Feng Ling said.
"The monsters here are so hard to beat, I don't know how difficult the Boss will be. I'm afraid I can kill every monster with one hit." Fengyun Yidao had no confidence at all.
"There's no rush. If we can't get the Heroes Order, then others shouldn't be able to get it either. Besides, we can't buy gold coins right now. Let's wait a few days until everyone's level is higher and has better equipment." Feng Yun Tian Xia is not in a hurry anymore, because it would be very difficult to defeat the Boss now.
"That's right. There are about ten people in the guild who play Taoist priests and witch doctors as auxiliary professions. I am the only one who has learned rejuvenation. The others don't have the skill book yet. I definitely can't add enough blood by myself." Feng Ling thought for a while and said.
"No way, there are so few Rejuvenation Techniques? Others didn't get it or buy it?" Zhang Shan said in disbelief. Logically, blood-adding skills should be common skills, and skill books should be easy to get.
"It is difficult to get any skill book in the new world. Now, there are probably only one player with new skills in a million. Even the boss of the world hasn't bought the fire mage's skill book yet. Didn't you see that he has only used fireball to fight monsters?" Fengyun Yida said with a smile.
"It seems that we are lucky. We have obtained several skill books in total, including Feng Ling's Rejuvenation Technique, Lightning Induction Technique, and my Taming Technique."
"You also learned taming? Then why don't you catch the baby."
"I can't find a suitable one. Only non-demonized monsters can be tamed. I haven't seen any." Zhang Shan said depressedly.
"Oh, that panda we saw just now, can it be tamed? It was almost beaten to death by Yidaoshou, but I thought pandas were very cute, so I didn't let it be killed. Come on, let's go and see if the panda is still there." Fengling said excitedly.
