Chapter 539



539 The lost number one player

After the group of ” chimaeras ” who had attacked the training soldiers were killed by Zhao Xu and his group and turned into skeleton undead, they were brought back.

Zhao Xu’s personal reputation once again reached its peak.

No matter how terrifying the legends of mages were, they were all false to the residents of these small towns.

It was only when he displayed his strength in front of everyone that everyone understood the crushing situation.

if they tried to argue with zhao xu again, they would only be throwing an egg at a rock. they might even get their entire family exterminated.

No matter how bossy the players were, they all realized how powerful Zhao Xu was now that he had a White Dragon as his magical pet.

After Zhao Xu set up the ” Lord’s Manor ” Department in the city Hall, he put up his announcements on the noticeboard on the outer wall.

This was also the place where the town’s various policy announcements were issued. It was only legal when they were pasted above and made public.

Zhao Xu’s first announcement clearly stated that the player, priest Yoona, was the first to find the Chimera’s lair by sensing the divine power of her believers.

As a result, she obtained a ‘omniscience book’ that was related to a priest’s main attribute and had A +5 perception bonus.

Strictly speaking, a war priest’s need for strength might be higher than perception, especially when the priest’s close combat ability was explored by the players and promoted in the direction of ” God’s grace ” and ” bloodshed land.

The players also began to see the opening plan of a war priest with 16 strength and 14 perception.

basically, spellcasters no longer pursued the ultimate 18 points of main attribute as they did at the start of the game.

According to the fact that it took 15 points of perception to cast a fifth-circle Divine Art, everyone realized that the fifth-circle was too far away. It was better to live well now. It would not be too late to use equipment and upgrade attribute points to supplement it when it was really needed in the later stages.

At this time, the warrior players also awkwardly realized that they were not as good at fighting as a warrior priest. Only the barbarians could barely save some face by relying on their berserk state.

As for Zhao Xu’s announcement that the wondrous Item that added 100000 gold coins had been obtained by a level 1 priest, although it had caused some suspicion, Zheng xinyun, who had participated, was also a kind priest, so it greatly strengthened the credibility of his statement.

To be able to become a ” priest, ” one must have integrity in line with the faction and the will of the gods, which was basically recognized by the majority of players.

It wasn’t that they didn’t know what to do and didn’t know to choose a powerful class like a priest that could fight and heal.

He really couldn’t do it.

the trial of faith and the trial of personal integrity were simply obstacles that blocked their way.

No matter how sneaky a warrior was, the sword in his hand was still sharp.

But for a priest who had abandoned his own faith and beliefs, the light of divine spells in his hands would no longer light up.

Because of this, the quest that Zhao Xu had given out had indeed been ” verified. this quest that was worth more than 100000 gold coins was on a completely different level compared to the difficulty of finding a nest, and it had greatly motivated many adventure squads.

In particular, the adventurer teams that provided information about other unregistered nests also received a certain information fee. It was not a wasted trip.

This made everyone stare at the noticeboard, at all the ” mission information ” related to the Liege’s residence.

After a few positive feedback, everyone began to see ‘Midsummer’ as a type of NPC.

Or rather, he was already a God that had left the ranks of the players.

With the arrival of early spring, the construction of the ” wizard Association’s encampment ” in the town was in full swing, and the roof was about to be completed, waiting for the subsequent spellcasters and arcane craftsmen from the capital to join.

During this period of time, other than occasionally running Dungeons and participating in the players ‘activities, Zhao Xu had also been quietly training his own candidates.

Zhao Xu had more or less interacted with most of the people he was familiar with in his previous life after he was reborn.

He was like an adventurer who had been out adventuring for many years. He suddenly woke up in the morning and saw the dewdrops on the White Orchid outside the window. He suddenly realized that he had returned to his hometown and restored his original peaceful life.

During this period of time, as the players used the Lifestone to exchange for experience, there were also some lucky ones who successfully reached a new level.

This also made Zhao Xu’s level 8 identity less eye-catching.

at the same time, as the number of divine blessings bestowed by the gods increased, news of an adventurer being blessed by the gods would appear on the forum from time to time.

A few days ago, there was a rumor that a half-orc player who was favored by the God of War had almost broken through to level 8 while hunting more than ten Level 6 Wyverns.

In the six months since the server opened, there were no less than 300 players who had successfully reached the top of Level 7.

Among them, the 20 players who had reached the top of the game could break through to level 8 at any time.

There were even rumors of Level 6 spellcaster class players such as Wizards and priests.

A level 3 spell like fireball began to shine in the hands of the top 20 wizard players in the game.

Although it could not deal absolute damage to Warriors and barbarians of the same level, it was enough to cause a ” clear ” effect to players of Level 1 and 2 and low-level monsters.

This was also the first time that Arthur had made the players feel ” good.

Finally, there was a bit of the pleasure of killing monsters wantonly in traditional online games.

At this moment, everyone began to realize that these top players were only one step away from the god-like player zhongxia.

They no longer had to catch up with the other party with great difficulty to avoid triggering the jumping agreement.

Rather, it was as long as the top 20 Level 7 melee players worked hard.

They would be on the same level as zhongxia.

Even if the other party had broken through to level-9, he still could not trigger the jump.

The players would be able to save their face for the first time.

It was just that after that, zhongxia would be at the Association’s construction site, Starfall Lake, and the mining area every day. He only went out to fight monsters once a week.

Sometimes, he would fish in the ordinary Lake for an entire afternoon.

Some were holding a thick book with complicated patterns, floating in the small boat on the lake. The women on the boat changed from time to time.

It was as if he had already treated Arthur as a health-preserving game.

Zhao Xu’s situation where he couldn’t even level up by one level in two months was completely different from when he had leveled up by two levels in one month and eight levels in four months, which was a terrifying difference of three levels compared to the second place.

If it wasn’t for the fact that Zhao Xu occasionally attacked and was able to use level 4 spells to shock everyone, there would have been a lot of noise coming from the town.

Most of the players were also sad.

this was especially so after the american, asian, and european servers were released at the same time. the players from other servers would be incorporated into arthur, and this made them even more anxious.

Although most of the players in other servers were born in towns that were not commonly seen in the current National server, the players in the other servers were born in different towns.

But Zhao Xu had been stuck at level 8 for two whole months now, and everyone was starting to worry whether or not level 9 was as difficult to cross as the heavenly chasm.

“Mr. Zhongxia, you’re quite carefree.”

Zheng xinyun paddled the oars of the small boat with all her might, pushing the waves away as she slowly drifted on the dreamlike falling star Lake under the setting sun.

From an outsider’s point of view, Zhao Xu wasn’t doing any physical work at all. He was just holding a book with his hands up and reading it while letting the female Zheng xinyun paddle. Even if the other party was a priest with 12 strength, it was still somewhat ungentlemanly of him.

“You’re not convinced?” Zhao Xu said jokingly.

Zheng xinyun pouted slightly but did not say a word.

I’m just letting you know that although gods are largely the product of faith and priesthood, and many of their original human hearts have been worn out, it can’t be denied that they still make deals in essence.

As he spoke, Zhao Xu looked at Zheng xinyun. as long as I’m more valuable to the God you believe in, he’ll rely on me more.

Not to mention,”he” is me.

zhao xu thought to himself.

zheng xinyun, on the other hand, held her breath and paddled the heavy wooden handle of the oar. ” i knew it, mr. zhongxia. you’ll definitely order your wife around in the future. ”

“Haha, let’s talk again, let’s talk again.” zhao xu suddenly couldn’t help but laugh, and he suddenly felt a sense of pride.

zheng xinyun looked at zhao xu strangely. ” but mr. zhongxia, you’re quite interested. ”

it was obvious that zheng xinyun, who had been immersed in preaching, had slowly advanced to an unprecedented level 3 after two months.

This also made her lower her chin slightly upward unconsciously when she thought of it.

Zhao Xu couldn’t help but laugh when he saw this. Zheng xinyun had worked so hard to convert the believers and had accumulated enough power of faith to give him. Zhao Xu basically didn’t save a single cent and gave all of it back to Zheng xinyun.

otherwise, how could she have reached level 3 so quickly?

In the end, she was the one who despised him.

what’s the matter? ” Zhao Xu said, trying to hold back his laughter. are you saying that this 50 gold coin raft isn’t enough for a rich royal? ”

“If you have this elegance, I can invite you to board a bigger ship.”

Zheng xinyun frowned. Mr. Zhongxia, that’s what I wanted to tell you.

“sister ning wei told me that you ordered a three-masted ship worth thirty thousand gold coins from the capital’s shipyard. Mr. Zhongxia, are you planning to start trading around the river of Everwinter?”

Many players in Arthur had realized that they didn’t need to level up. They could still use Earth’s characteristics to engage in the corresponding industry.

Commerce, which was the old trade on earth, was also flourishing among the players.

A few large merchant guilds had also started to appear among the players, and they had even come into contact with the town’s power class, monopolizing some of the material trade.

When Zheng xinyun thought about how Zhao Xu had already started to focus on purchasing items through trade and commerce instead of just purchasing magical equipment to improve himself, all sorts of suspicions started to form in her heart.

they thought that zhao xu also wanted to make “money” that was easier to make on earth.

However, Zhao Xu shook his head and said, ” the three-mast sailboat is about 40 meters long and 5 meters wide. Other than the three masts, there are 70 oars on both sides of the boat. It will need 200 crew members and can also carry 150 tons of goods or 250 soldiers. Don’t you think that this ship is very affordable?”

What Zheng xinyun didn’t know was that Zhao Xu had paid an extra 8000 gold coins to modify the sailboat by adding a broken mallet and three design towers in the front, middle, and back.

“All men dream of the sea of stars.” zhao xu said.

Hmph, don’t think I don’t know that this ship can’t cross the ocean. It can only move along the coast or row. Zheng xinyun corrected him.

This meant that the ship could travel along the river of eternal winter that ran through the entire Northern Alliance.

Zhao Xu suddenly felt that the Zheng xinyun in front of him had become a little smarter. It was obvious that she had done her homework before mentioning it to her.

This meant that the other party’s suggestion to him was not just Zheng xinyun’s idea.

Perhaps, it represented the opinions of many people.

But Zhao Xu didn’t know how to explain this. Aside from preparing food, he was also preparing enough transportation for his deployment.

The river of eternal winter that ran through the entire North led to the wilderness that was created by the people of Earth.

As long as a port was built there, they would be able to obtain an endless supply of materials from the entire North.

Of course, the prerequisite was that he had to be rich enough.

so, zhao xu had already arranged for some people to go to some shipyards and get ready to buy large sailboats.

“Swish-”

Suddenly, a sharp whistle came from the lakeside.

when the players discovered that the movements on earth could be perfectly replicated in arthur, many players who didn’t know how to whistle used their more dexterous fingers to master this technique.

When he saw Zheng xinyun frown, Zhao Xu looked into the distance and realized that it was a group of unfamiliar players who had noticed what the two of them were doing on the rippling Lake. They were whistling from afar.

“it’s the spring outing group.”

zhao xu glanced at the flag of the team and confirmed the identity of everyone on the spot.

“You don’t want to improve.” Zheng xinyun muttered to herself.

On the road from winter city, there were seven or eight warrior players in full body armor.

Even though the server had been open for half a year, those who could possess such equipment could be said to be the best among the players. Ordinary civilians had no idea how to deal with these Warriors who were like canned food.

This was also the reason why Knights in medieval times were considered nobles.

Behind these guards were a Ranger, a priest, and a rogue. It could be said that this ten-man team had escorted a grandiose ” tour ” of nearly 40 to 50 people.

As Arthur’s reputation became more and more prominent, many players who had difficulty completing the training turned to focus on the scenery in the game.

They were the most famous “gold coin tour group.”

As long as the money was enough, the adventurer players who were not afraid of death would even dare to bring these sightseeing groups to the Dragon’s Nest and enjoy a one-day tour of the dragon’s breath.

This was because this group of players who were just here to see the scenery, most of them were those who had 18 Constitution and two robust specialties (+3 health points).

He just wanted to keep his life and see the great rivers and mountains of Arthur.

Hence, they dared to provoke the experts.

At most, he would just have to register a new account.

Zheng xinyun also knew this and understood that she was helpless against these shameless players in the tour group.

“I’ll make him regret it if he brags again.”

Zhao Xu continued to flip through the book in his hand, ” Mystra’s Magic guard: a secret history, a song of blood and fire.

However, Zheng xinyun’s act of turning a blind eye to her actions further provoked the slippery men in the group of tourists who had just started jeering. They laughed on the spot.

Immediately, the people around him hurriedly pulled him back. don’t look for trouble. He’s the Lord of this town.

Oh, the number one player who has already been lost? ” The man who had just whistled laughed.
