C8 8 God Level Smelting Trial
(8) Out-Village Trial
I didn't directly return to the Beginner Village to complete the task, but instead went around to the back of the village to look for the 50 herbs that the village doctor had asked me to collect before returning to the village.
The monster at the back of the mountain was a Level 1 non-active monster: a hare. On the way, I waved my sword and took away more than ten of them. Hum, hum ~ You still dare to bite my big toe in the future!
Walking back to the village, I handed over the doctor's assignment.
"Thank you, brave warrior! This is your reward! "
"Ding ~ You have completed the quest 'Collect Herbs', you have received 50 experience points!" [Lifespan Skill: 'Alchemy' (Level 1) Current Proficiency: 0.]
After using the Trade Skill, one's proficiency would increase. Once the proficiency reached a certain level, it would level up. After upgrading the skill, the efficiency would greatly increase!
Grasping the reward, I quickly turned around and left that barefoot doctor. Why does he look so much like the Mongolian doctor who gave me the main knife back then?
Afterwards, I strolled around the NPC areas and handed in their quests, but didn't hear the leveling prompt that I had hoped for.
What was going on?
Flipping open the Character Attribute Panel, he saw that the experience bar below character level was already full, but it had stopped at 399/400, unable to advance any further.
I became even more confused, and looked around, only to see a big "!" appearing above the Beginner Village head's head. It seemed like there was a follow-up mission.
Puzzled, I walked over and clicked on the conversation.
The village chief tidied up his goatee that was hanging down to his chest, glanced at me with a gratified gaze, and said with satisfaction: "Brave warrior, looks like you are already strong enough and have enough strength and faith to protect your home. Then, according to the ancient tradition of the village, are you ready to receive a trial that was prepared to leave the village for you?
Hearing this, I suddenly understood. No wonder the forums said that players couldn't leave the Beginner Village within three days. Advancing to Level 10 at Level 9 would result in a huge obstacle. So this was what they were referring to.
Alright, then let me see what this "great obstacle" is capable of. Thinking this way, I lightly said, "I'm ready."
"Very good." The mayor seemed to have expected this answer. Then, he walked into the hut behind him, carefully took out a bundle of scrolls, and said seriously: "Warrior, accept your trial! Remember, if you reject the mission, you have to wait three days before accepting the next one. If you fail the quest, you will lose 99% of your experience back to your superior, do you understand? "
I nodded my head. Even though this failure penalty was a bit harsh, it was still within my expectations. If players could randomly choose a training mission like how I chose a cabbage, then things would become a mess.
The village chief nodded his head again, and with a low shout, he threw the scroll into the sky. The scroll abruptly opened up in the sky, and from head to tail, it turned into a wheel, spinning in the air and giving off colors that constantly changed. Sometimes it was a dim white light, sometimes it was a blinding red or bright blue light, and so on.
"It seems that based on the random results, everyone's test results are different. Also, based on the color, the level and difficulty aren't the same." I thought.
"Clang ~" With a crisp sound, the wheel finally stopped and turned back into the scroll that had not been opened yet. However, just as I was about to receive the scroll that was gradually falling down from the sky, the scroll suddenly opens once more. Following which, a purple radiance piercing through the clouds rises up from the ground, enveloping the entire Novice Village. A strange, deep purple light shone on the face of everyone in Beginner Village # 10086.
What was going on?
Just when I was astonished, the System's prompt sounded out at the same time. However, it wasn't a normal system prompt, but three consecutive system announcements, which spread to the ears of the entire server.
"System Notification: Player 'Do not speak of returning' to accept the amethyst level smelting trial quest: [Visitors to Hell]! After the mission ends, you will be granted the right to enter the main city! And receive a mysterious reward! If the Quest failed, the player 'No Return' would be reduced to zero! And you're not allowed to take another exit within 72 hours! "
"System Notification: Player 'Do not speak of returning' to accept the amethyst level smelting trial quest: [Visitors to Hell]! After the mission ends, you will be granted the right to enter the main city! And receive a mysterious reward! If the Quest failed, the player 'No Return' would be reduced to zero! And you're not allowed to take another exit within 72 hours! "
"System Notification: Player 'Do not speak of returning' to accept the amethyst level smelting trial quest: [Visitors to Hell]! After the mission ends, you will be granted the right to enter the main city! And receive a mysterious reward! If the Quest failed, the player 'No Return' would be reduced to zero! And you're not allowed to take another exit within 72 hours! "
Within three seconds, the entire server was silent. Three seconds later, the entire server was abuzz!
Player A: "Who is this' Do Not Say Go '? How come I've never heard of it before? "
Player B: "I don't know. NND is too enviable!"
Player C: "Ha ha-ha, kids! Kowtow to me! I am the 'Black Eyed Turtle'! "
Everyone else: "F * ck!" You still dare to show your face? Everyone forward! Kill him! "
"..."
Qin Luo: "Big sister! Look! I told you that second brother was very capable! "
Demon Splitting Heaven: "Hehehe …"
"..."
The sudden system announcement made me at a loss of what to do. When I came to my senses and turned around, the Village Head was staring at me blankly.
"God level smelting trial. I never thought that after three hundred and seventy-one years, another person would trigger the God level smelting trial …"
The village chief muttered something and immediately retracted his gaze. He frowned as he looked at me and said, "Brave warrior, I didn't throw cold water on you on purpose. You …" It's better to give up on this trial. "
"Hmm? "Why?" I asked doubtfully.
The Village Chief let out a low sigh, "You heard it just now, you are undergoing the amethyst level smelting trial, which is also the God level smelting trial that I speak of. If the Quest failed, the level would not only drop by 1 level, but also be reset to zero. In history, only one person succeeded in passing the God Level Trial, and he was the one who led War God Hill who died in battle a hundred years ago — [Indestructible Blade: Fury]. However, these are still secondary. Most importantly, if you are unable to complete the mission successfully, then you will lose the qualifications to participate in the trial in the future. That is to say, you will never be able to leave the Beginner Village. "
I was stunned and blurted out, "What kind of joke is this?!"
"Yes, that's it. "That's why I advise you not to accept this mission. Believe me, brave warrior, even if you give up your chance to reach the top, with your strength, you will still make a huge contribution on the continent."
"Give up?" I stare blankly at the choice in front of me, unsure of what to do.
However, this situation lasted less than half a minute before I knew exactly what I wanted. I smiled at the Village Chief at the side. "You mean, as long as we succeed, we will have the chance to reach the pinnacle, right?"
"You're right, but …"
"Ding ~ You have accepted the trial mission: 'Visitor of Hell', please enter the portal and open the quest!" Without any hesitation, I pressed the 'Accept' button. A circular purple portal immediately opened by my side.
"Brave warrior, you …"
I smiled as I shook my head and stepped into the portal. I looked at the Village Chief, who was looking at me with pity, and said, "I'm sorry, I … There are people with obsessive-compulsive disorder. "
