The Black Stone Longsword surged with red light again. This sword pierced deep into the spotted python's body.
The spotted python's body stiffened and the last bit of health disappeared. With a flash of golden light, Lin Shuang killed the spotted python.
Level 11.
"System Notification: You have successfully killed the Spotted Python and passed the test to the main city. As you are the first player to pass the main city's test, the system reward: Charm: +3. The system will make a server-wide announcement. Do you want to hide your character's name?"
Another server-wide announcement?
On the first day of the server launch, there were three consecutive server announcements… Lin Shuang was already numb. He chose to hide his name as usual.
"Ding! Server Announcement: Player XXX (Hidden) of Luhua Village (Huaxia Region) has successfully passed the test of the main city, Juxiang City. As the first player to pass the test, you have received the system reward: Charm +3!"
The main areas were in an uproar again! Someone passed the test to the main city? So fast?
Most of the players were still fighting the Wild Wolves and Brown Bears in the novice villages! They did not even know the way to the main city. But someone had already passed the test. And it was Luhua village again?
This made many people suspicious.
Could this player that had been announced three times in a row by the system be the same person?! If that was true, this guy was too sick. They wondered if he was alone or if he had some kind of studio.
For a moment, all the players had a strong question in their hearts: Who is this person?
After the system announcement, many guild leaders began to ponder. This person actually chose Juxiang City. Many people had already begun to plan to personally go to Juxiang City to recruit this person.
At this moment, Lin Shuang was crouching under the spotted python and struggling to take out the equipment that had just dropped.
This Boss dropped two pieces of equipment and dozens of silver coins. Lin Shuang spent a lot of effort taking out the equipment.
A helmet and armor.
When Lin Shuang saw the helmet, his heart skipped a beat. He just happened to be lacking helmet equipment!
Serpent Helm
Grade: Purple
Level: 12
Defense: 45
Strength: 20
Additional effect: Increases user's HP by 500 points.
Introduction: A helmet made from the hard snake scales of a giant python. After wearing it, it can resist the invasion of poison.
It was a very good piece of equipment. It increased the user's HP by 500 points. Just this attribute alone was enough to make people envious. However, after leaving the novice village, the equipment dropped by monsters began to have a level requirement. This equipment needed one to be Level 12 to be equipped.
Lin Shuang was only Level 11. He was still one level away. He threw the helmet into his backpack and continued to look at the next armor.
Serpent Armor
Grade: Purple
Level: 12
Defense: 80
Stamina: 15
Additional effect: Increases user's HP by 500 points.
Introduction: Armor made from the hard snake scales of a giant python. After wearing it, it can resist the invasion of poison.
It was another snake-type equipment. Unfortunately, it did not have the set attributes. Otherwise, the value of these two equipment would have been even higher.
He happily put away the two pieces of equipment. Now that he had killed the python, the final obstacle on the way to Juxiang City was clear.
Lin Shuang packed his backpack and continued forward.
Not long after, a majestic city gradually appeared in front of him. From afar, he could only see the rough outline of Juxiang City. After walking in, the city gate gradually appeared. The ten-meter-tall city stood tall. In front of the city, a statue soared into the sky. That was the symbol of Juxiang City, the Wild Giant Elephant.
On both sides of the city gate stood two imperial guards dressed in heavy armor and holding halberds. Their expressions were solemn, making people feel reverence. Upon entering the city, a young man in black leather armor stood at the city gate. When he saw Lin Shuang walk in, he immediately smiled and greeted him.
He had obviously been waiting for a long time.
"Dear adventurer! I've finally waited for you. My name is Doron. I'm the guide of the Adventurer's Guild in Juxiang City. You must have experienced a lot along the way. It's fine! Our Adventurer's Guild has many people in Juxiang City. As long as you encounter any difficulties, you can look for us for help at any time."
Doron patted his chest as if saying, "You'll follow me from now on."
Then, he took out a form and said, "Register it first. From now on, you will be a member of the Adventurer's Guild of Juxiang City. At the same time, as the first adventurer to reach Juxiang City, there will be a reward for you."
"System Notification: Do you want to move in: Juxiang City (Once you choose, you will not be able to change it)"
[Yes]
Without hesitation, Lin Shuang chose yes.
"System Notification: Congratulations, you have successfully entered Juxiang City. From now on, you will be a member of Juxiang City and will enjoy the city buff: HP increased by 5%. Once Juxiang City falls, players will not be able to enjoy the city buff."
"As you are the first player to enter Juxiang City, system reward: Attribute points +10."
Juxiang City's buff was health. Lin Shuang remembered that Lingfan City was an attack buff, while Tianshu City was a defense buff. As the first player to come to Juxiang City, the system also gave him 10 attribute points. Lin Shuang added them all to Strength and Agility.
After registering at the city gate, Lin Shuang walked into Juxiang City.
In the city, the streets and alleys were wide open, and there was an endless stream of carriages. Pedestrians came and went, and the sound of vendors hawking could be heard. Many majestic buildings were arranged neatly. Guards in heavy armor held shields and patrolled the city. It was a very prosperous city. Luhua Village was indeed incomparable.
As soon as he entered the main city, Lin Shuang immediately checked his attributes.
The Returnee
Occupation: Sha Bo the Asura (Hidden)
Level: 11
Health: 870
Attack: 295
Defense: 185
Talent: Lucky Halo
Charm: 9
...
9 points of Charm. Lin Shuang still remembered that he could accept a hidden mission from every city lord. However, there was a requirement for this hidden mission, which was that the player's charm must reach 10 points.
In his previous life, the hidden mission of the City Lord of the Lingfan City was first discovered by a guild master. After completing the mission, it directly increased his strength and raised the guild he led by a level.
It was also because of the Guild Master's discovery that the players from the other cities began to try. Only then did they realize that they could accept missions from every City Lord.
But it was a one-time mission. As long as a player accepted it, they could not accept it again.
In this life, Lin Shuang wanted to complete this mission first. If possible, he wanted to run to Lingfan City again and accept the hidden mission there. Although he might be ganged up on by the players of Lingfan City if he did this, as long as he kept a low profile, he should not be discovered.
Lin Shuang had an evil smile on his face. A sneaky scheme was slowly brewing.
