After completing the transaction, Wu Xiaochen hurried back to the Novice Village and found the village chief. He handed over the demon core and said, "Village Chief, this is the demon core of the Silver Wolf King that you wanted."
The village chief, excitedly looking at the demon core handed to him by Wu Xiaochen, said, "Great! With this, we can repair the teleportation array to the main city. The Novice Village has been closed off for too many years. Adventurer, thank you for your contribution to the Novice Village. This is your reward."
"Ding! Quest completed. Would you like to equip the title [Novice Village Hero] as a reward?"
"Equip," Wu Xiaochen said, then checked the properties of the title.
[Novice Village Hero]: Obtained after completing the teleportation array repair quest. Only one person can receive it in each Novice Village. Attributes: Luck +10.
Hmm, just that? Luck is something intangible, and it would be better to have something more practical. Wu Xiaochen complained, but it was still better than nothing. Moreover, Luck is a rare attribute. So far, the only thing that added Luck to him was the necklace he was currently wearing, which increased it by 3 points. As for its specific effects, he would have to explore them slowly in the future.
At that moment, the village chief began manipulating a circular pattern at the village entrance. A few minutes later, the pattern suddenly lit up with a white light, and the village chief's face showed a happy smile.
Meanwhile, a system announcement sounded among all the 8,365 novice players...
"System Announcement: Player Dust Sealed has assisted the village chief of the Novice Village in repairing the teleportation array. When players in this Novice Village reach level 10, they can directly teleport to the main city by finding the village chief."
"Ah, so we still need to repair the teleportation array to teleport to the main city?"
"It seems so. Didn't the system just give us a hint? But I wonder if it will be troublesome or not."
"Who cares if it's troublesome or not? We already have a pro helping us repair it. Once we reach level 10, we can directly teleport to the main city and change our class. As expected, it's great to have a top player guiding us. We can enjoy the shade under a big tree."
"Great insight!"
While all the players in the Novice Village were marveling at the benefits of having a top player guiding them, they didn't think too much about it. They believed it shouldn't be too difficult. At this moment, Su Muxue remembered her previous question to Dust Sealed about why he hadn't gone to the main city at level 10. It seemed he had mentioned not being able to go, but now she understood it was because the teleportation array needed to be repaired.
After thinking for a while, she couldn't help but send a message, curious about the quest to repair the teleportation array. "What is the quest to repair the teleportation array about?"
After a while, she received a four-word reply: "Kill the Silver Wolf King!"
.....
It took Su Muxue a while to come back to her senses and muttered to herself, "So, you wanted to leave the city and the teleportation array was broken. You needed to kill the Silver Wolf King to repair it, and then you went and slaughtered the Silver Wolf King??"
Su Muxue didn't know how to describe her feelings. However, she thought that other novice villages would probably encounter the same situation. But if those villages didn't have a freak like Dust Sealed, the Silver Wolf King would definitely have been able to hinder them for a long time. This was a huge benefit that Dust Sealed had fought for the entire Novice Village.
Thinking of this, Su Muxue's eyes lit up. She was currently equipped with two pieces of black iron-level equipment. Among the entire Novice Village, except for Dust Sealed, her equipment was probably the best. With this significant advantage, it would bring her great benefits.
"Uncle Liu, tell everyone to put aside everything and level up as quickly as possible. We need to be the first group to enter the main city," Su Muxue said to Uncle Liu.
"Okay, Miss. I'll inform them right away," Uncle Liu replied without hesitation.
"Indeed, adding a friend can really bring great benefits." Su Muxue silently praised her own cleverness. Although she had even sacrificed her appearance to add that guy as a friend before, the gains were still immense. There was no need to dwell on the gains and losses. After all, she only let him see her face, so she didn't lose anything. It was just his attitude that was absolutely that of a terminal case of "straight male cancer."
After repairing the teleportation array, the village chief returned to Wu Xiaochen and said, "Adventurer, the teleportation array has been repaired. Would you like to teleport to the main city now?"
"Yes," Wu Xiaochen replied.
"In that case, please stand within the circle of light and choose the main city you want to teleport to. As the hero of the Novice Village, this teleportation is free for you," the village chief said.
There were a total of eight level 2 main cities and four level 1 main cities in the game. The Novice Village could only teleport to level 2 main cities, and players needed to reach level 100 before they could teleport from a level 2 main city to a level 1 main city.
After entering the circle of light, a system prompt appeared:
"Please select the city you want to teleport to." The display showed the eight level 2 main cities: Autumn Water City, White Ze City, Ju Lu City, Feng Yong City, Yellow Sand City, Desert North City, Extreme Ice City, and Jinling City.
Wu Xiaochen randomly chose Jinling City. It didn't matter where he went; it was just a different environment. However, each city had its own features. For example, White Ze City and Autumn Water City were by the sea, Yellow Sand City and Desert North City were in the desert, and Extreme Ice City was near glaciers. But in the end, there would be teleportation arrays between cities, so the choice didn't matter.
A burst of light flashed before his eyes, and suddenly the surroundings became blurry. Soon, the scene around Wu Xiaochen became clear again, and he suddenly realized that he was already in a huge city. There were various ancient-style buildings, interconnected roads, and tall city walls, giving him the immediate feeling of having traveled through time.
"It's truly spectacular. The run-down Novice Village can't compare at all," Wu Xiaochen exclaimed, feeling a sense of awe. Looking at the NPCs strolling in groups on the street and occasionally passing city guards on patrol, there wasn't a single player in sight.
"First, let's go for a class change." Wu Xiaochen didn't forget his purpose for rushing to the main city. He made his way towards the city center, originally intending to ask an NPC for directions. However, when he looked up, he saw a massive building standing in the center, displaying "Class Hall." He didn't need to ask; he knew it was the place for class changes.
Upon arriving at the Class Hall, he could see six class instructors standing inside:
A beautiful sorceress instructor dressed in a black magic robe, a muscular shield warrior instructor holding a shield, a warrior instructor gripping a broadsword, a beautiful archer instructor with a bow and arrows, an assassin instructor wearing tight leather armor and a mask, and a beautiful priest instructor in a white robe.
After observing the six classes for a while, Wu Xiaochen ultimately approached the assassin instructor. Unfortunately, his talent for ranged attacks couldn't be triggered. Otherwise, choosing the archer class would have been the most enjoyable. Since he couldn't choose the archer class, his options for melee were limited to warrior, shield warrior, and assassin. As a player who favored agility, Wu Xiaochen naturally chose the assassin with the highest agility attribute.
"Hello, instructor. I would like to change my class to assassin," Wu Xiaochen politely said to the assassin instructor.
"Adventurer, you have excellent taste. The assassin is the fastest and highest burst damage class among all professions. They are the kings of darkness, a terrifying presence that everyone fears..."
"Adventurer, don't listen to his nonsense. Assassins only bully squishy mages and archers. If they dare to make a move against us warriors, I'll cut them down with two strikes. You should change to warrior," the warrior instructor interrupted, displeased with the constant praise for the assassin.
"Adventurer, how about changing to shield warrior? The small frame of an assassin won't be enough against those wild beasts. As a shield warrior, you can stand your ground, and even wild beasts won't dare to bite you. Step forward and change to shield warrior," the shield warrior instructor also chimed in.
Seeing the other instructors getting ready to pitch in, Wu Xiaochen quickly said, "Dear instructors, I'm sorry, and thank you for your kind suggestions. I've already decided to change to an assassin."
Hearing Wu Xiaochen's words, the other instructors could only sigh. It was rare to have an adventurer come by, so they ended up saying more than they normally would. Otherwise, they would never interfere with a player's choice.
