"Place a bounty on him!" Devil King said seriously. "Reward anyone that kills him once with 100,000 Gold coins and 3 piece of Gold items and an Epic Weapon. If anyone manages to capture him and bring him here, reward him with 500,000 Gold coins and 5 Gold rank items and two Epic items" Devil King ordered.
Bounties weren't a strange term in the game. It was just a way of getting other players to help you kill a person. It was done with the Supervision of the God System who will give out the reward once the job is done. Bounties are usually issued when there is a formidable enemy you want to kill so badly. Devil King action of giving out such a ridiculous reward just to kill Xuan Yuan is not wise at all. If Xuan Yuan was killed just five times, He'd be losing 500,000 Gold coins and 15 pieces of Gold items.
500,000 Gold coins is an astronomical amount in game currently. It is even the Liquid funds of a small Guild yet it's only worth someone's head. Heaven Sovereign was almost drooling at the thought of killing Xuan Yuan to get the money. But he quickly cast away that thought. Someone who could make 10000 of his Guild members flee with their tails between their legs was not a simple existence.
"But Young master... That'd cost too much" One of his subordinates cautioned. "I understand how much you resent him, but is there a need to go this far?"
"If the Gold coins, buy some from the Inter world currency exchange arena. Buy Gold Epic rank items in to reward them with. I want to see if that Sword Mage can survive against the whole Kingdom" Devil King said coldly.
"Okay sire" The subordinate had no choice but to comply. He quickly left the room to get the job done...
The inter world currency exchange arena was established by Floating dreams studio to facilitate the exchange of Real life Money with In game coins. It was created to balance the circulation of Gold coins in game such that Players with Gold coins to the studio. The Gold coins sold would then be sold to players who wants to buy them.
Currently, Monsters no longer drop coins only Magic stones. Gold coins can only be earned through quest completion, selling or auctioning their items. For rich lazy players that do not wish to stress themselves, they would just buy Gold coins to spend in game from the arena. That's why it is not strange to see a weak player with thousands of Gold coins...
"Where will you guys go now?" Xuan Yuan asked as they walked along the main street.
"Anywhere our foot takes us" Qingyuan said.
"You should not return to Golden Sun Empire. They found you there previously" Xuan Yuan advised.
"OK then" They nodded.
"As compensation for being late, why don't we train for today?" Xuan Yuan asked Xingyao who nodded ecstatically.
"Should we grind monsters or complete quests?" He asked.
"Let's dive to a dungeon instead" Xingyao said excitedly.
Dungeons are like regions filled with Dangerous monsters. In the game storyline. The monsters in dungeons would sometimes launch a siege on the city once they gather enough strength. To prevent this from happening, Players are paid to weaken this monsters by clearing he dungeons. That's one of the best methods players practice to earn Gold coins in the game. Some Guilds even monopolize a dungeon and have their members clear it to gain levels and also farm coins and resources for the Guild...
"OK, let's clear a dungeon then" Xuan Yuan said and Xingyao led them to a nearby dungeon...
"We need experts players to dive into the dungeon. Noobs should scram!"
"A party is available to clear the dungeon. We have an expert here to lead us. We need a MT and a Healer!"
"Interested players should come here"
"We need players to dive into the dungeon. Minimum level is level 40. Noobs are also welcomed"
Players shouted constantly in front of the Level 40 dungeon, Eastern Sublime castle . They were forming six-man parties to enter the dungeon. This dungeon was one of the few dungeons that was level 40+ and not monopolized by any Guild or Adventurer Team.
Once, the party was complete, the Team will move to the dungeon entrance and choose a mode out of Normal, Hard or Hell modes.
Xuan Yuan and the four girls arrived at the dungeon earning various gasps from the surrounding players.
The four girls were previously tied to the roof of Heaven will Headquarters so most of the players here had seen them once or twice so they could recognise them. They had also heard about what transpired at the Headquarter so they could recognise Xuan Yuan too which caused them to subconsciously pave a path for them to pass.
They didn't linger around like other teams and directly went to the castle entrance.
"Choose the Hell mode" Xuan Yuan said as Xingyao wanted to choose the Normal mode.
"But the normal mode is more difficult... I understand" Xingyao said. She nearly forgot that they had a walking bomb with them.
She chose the Hell mode and a black vortex appeared in front of them.
"Let's go" Xuan Yuan said and led the team into the vortex...
"Am I seeing things?" A level 40 player said as Xuan Yuan and the girls disappeared into the vortex.
"Did they just choose the Hell mode?"
"I saw them enter the black vortex. It's really the Hell mode!" Another player exclaimed.
"Are they crazy? Even the Purple Alliance have been stuck at the Final Boss of the normal mode unable to clear it. Yet they challenged the Hell mode!" A player said.
"Don't forget the Sword Mage is with them" A player added...
