The system alert echoed three times throughout the entire Merai Region, and Jiang Han opened the information panel, finding a sea of crimson text that was impossible to ignore.
"The rewards offered are truly generous!" Jiang Han squinted slightly.
Primary national artifact!
He never expected that even national artifacts would be included, and the rewards could only be obtained by killing him.
Moreover, these rewards could stack with his bounty, with an estimated value of at least a hundred million, which was incredibly extravagant!
Afterwards, Jiang Han bid farewell to Sheryl temporarily, preparing to leave the city. "Well, let them all come after me. I believe I can earn quite a bit."
Last time, outside Tianhai Town, his focus was on killing Ulyr and defending the town. Many dropped items were left uncollected. Now, with a lighter burden, he had ample time to interact with players in the Merai Region.
"Ding! ~"
A message from Wei Qianduo arrived: "I never thought it would escalate to this point... Your bounty can grant you a unique hidden class, extremely rare items, rare skills, and now, with the national artifact, players are likely going crazy!"
These treasures, individually enticing, could make players flock to them. Now, when a pile of rewards concentrated on one person, it was downright maddening.
"However, for players, the pressure is not that great," Jiang Han said calmly.
Swarming tactics were almost ineffective against him, and the SSS-grade War Stomp was a ridiculously powerful skill. Coupled with the Bloodthirsty Sword's 15% lifesteal effect, those unable to penetrate his defense would become his blood-sucking minions.
"..."
"Not much pressure!"
Upon seeing this statement, Wei Qianduo was stunned, feeling that his concerns seemed a bit excessive. "As long as you're confident..."
"Where is the fortune teller?" Jiang Han asked.
"Usually active in the second-tier city, Blue Moon City, and the guild territories near Blue Moon City. By the way, I'll send you the image of the fortune teller in the Bright Camp's map in the Merai Region."
"Good, thank you."
...
Wei Qianduo sent the map, and based on it, Jiang Han determined the direction of Blue Moon City and immediately summoned the Blue Scale Beast to head there.
On the way, Long Teng Wanli also sent a message. Jiang Han replied briefly and refrained from chatting further.
After a journey of forty minutes, he arrived at Blue Moon City.
Observing the second-tier city, which was much smaller than Seaheart City, Jiang Han pondered for a moment and decided to first go to the guild territory where the fortune teller usually operated.
The city mainly belonged to the indigenous population, but players could establish their own territories. As long as they completed relevant tasks, had enough guild members, possessed sufficient resources, and had a series of rare items like Village Establishment Orders, Town Establishment Orders, and City Establishment Orders, it was not impossible to establish their own main city, guarding a piece of land.
However, Jiang Han was temporarily uninterested in establishing his own force.
Firstly, he lacked manpower. Secondly, he lacked the energy. Thirdly, his own interests were too significant. If he were to establish a force, players would come to cause trouble at any moment, triggering a direct siege.
"Ding! ~"
System prompt: You have entered the map [Evil Dragon Town]!
Evil Dragon Town!
The name sounded domineering, but since it was a player territory, not an indigenous town, everyone understood that Jiang Han wasn't worried that there would actually be an evil dragon in the town.
"Swoosh, swoosh..."
Numerous players' gazes converged.
As soon as he set foot in Evil Dragon Town, Jiang Han's figure immediately caught the attention of many players. Among a pile of Merai Region players, there was an Eastern Region player, making him very conspicuous, especially since Jiang Han didn't deliberately wear a face-covering helmet.
Of course, it wasn't that he was arrogant and ignored the threat from players; he deliberately attracted attention. The main reason was to find the fortune teller, which required communication. Although the system would automatically translate his words into the local language, the nuances couldn't be concealed.
"An Easterner?" A player exclaimed. "Jiang Han Shui?"
"Jiang Han Shui actually came to our Evil Dragon Guild's territory?"
"The entire Merai Region is looking for him, and he actually came here on his own!"
...
A commotion ensued.
Many players crowded over, looking unfriendly and eager to try.
"Hey, brother, players from our Merai Region are not like those softies in your Eastern Region. We won't let you bully us at will!" A chubby white player sneered, approaching with a large knife in hand.
At these words, Jiang Han smiled, didn't select any target, lightly raised his foot, and stomped down.
War Stomp!
"Boom!"
In an instant, the earth trembled, the ground sank, and the cement bricks on the street shattered. A powerful shockwave swept across, causing severe damage to the surrounding buildings.
-547,110!
-554,719!
-577,223!
...
Numerous damage figures popped up, with a total damage well over five hundred thousand, far beyond the endurance range of ordinary players.
"Swoosh, swoosh..."
A white light appeared, neat and uniform.
Within a hundred meters, most of the Merai Region players who weren't pushovers had become one of the many corpses. Few survivors remained, and the scene was gruesome.
"Ding! ~"
System prompt: You killed Merai Region player [Cannonball], gaining 2,000 experience points!
"Ding! ~"
System prompt: You killed Merai Region player [Green Hat Hero], gaining 900 experience points!
...
Now, Jiang Han's level had reached 81. Killing these players at level forty or fifty might seem to give him a few thousand experience points each, but compared to the over 80 million experience points he needed to level up now, it was pitifully little.
"What's going on?"
"Killing over a hundred players with one stomp, my god, it's too crazy, the video isn't edited!"
"Quick, call the guild leader over. Only someone at her level can deal with this guy!"
...
Survivors panicked and fled, quickly distancing themselves from the Eastern player, the harbinger, rushing to find reinforcements.
"It seems that the Merai Region doesn't understand how powerful a Spiritual-level Boss is..."
Crossing over the bodies of many players, Jiang Han picked up two fairly good golden-level equipment pieces and walked towards the interior of Evil Dragon Town.
He didn't think that among the people he just shook to death, there would be a fortune teller. After all, they were among the top ten players on the level leaderboard in the Merai Region. It was unreasonable that they couldn't withstand the shockwave damage from his foot.
A few minutes later, a blonde and blue-eyed girl, accompanied by many players exuding killing intent, arrived and once again surrounded Jiang Han.
"Eastern Region player, why did you intrude into my territory without reason?" The girl, around twenty years old, questioned with a tone of hostility.
Jiang Han looked at the pretty face of the foreign girl, feeling that it
resembled the image sent by Wei Qianduo. He cast an Insightful Eye.
[Deadly Rose](Fortune Teller)
Level: 63
Health: 1,000,400
Attack: 3,800-4,060
Defense: 5,550-5,772
Skills: [Fate Shattering][Mirror Lake][Light of Sacrifice][Insight][Divination]
...
Fortune Teller!
Indeed, she was the real deal!
"I came to find you, hoping you can help me with a divination," Jiang Han got straight to the point.
"Divination?" The girl felt puzzled, looking at Jiang Han as if he were an idiot. "You, an Eastern Region player, want me, a Merai Region player, to help with divination?"
"Not possible?" Jiang Han raised an eyebrow, counterquestioning.
He knew that Deadly Rose's behavior was entirely reasonable. Divination should have a cost, and she wouldn't be willing to do it for players from another region, especially one she had never met.
However, he remained calm.
Virtue and talent could win people over.
At this moment, he hadn't yet demonstrated his excellent character. If the other party didn't yield, it was understandable.
