Chapter 28

After finding out that he could teleport directly to Tut City, Ye Bai certainly did not use the teleportation array immediately.

The maintenance personnel told us that it would take another 69 hours to reach Marku, which is nearly three days, or six game days.

Ye Bai had plenty of time to prepare, and by staying in the nutrition cabin, she didn't even have to log off, so she could devote herself to the game.

It only takes a moment to reach Tut City using the teleportation array. Ye Bai plans to enhance his strength and ability to protect his life during this period of time.

Game coins become crucial at this time.

While Ye Bai was thinking, the system's server-wide announcement suddenly sounded again.

[Server Announcement]: "Congratulations to Ximo, the player from the Centaur zone, Luofei Star, for becoming the third Overlord of the server!"

Ye Bai was slightly startled, but then he didn't feel too surprised. He checked the Star Network News and found that it was indeed the area belonging to the Kain Federation. The Ruilan Empire relied on its own advantages to clear the copy on the 10th day after the official registration. Now it is the 17th game day. It is not surprising that the only two cosmic civilizations can do this.

Thinking of this, Ye Bai's anger towards Makul Star deepened. If it weren't for this accident, she would probably still be peacefully carrying out her daily farming life in the territory.

After reading StarNet, Ye Bai did not return to Wanjie immediately. Instead, he opened his email, searched for keywords, and selected some emails to reply.

The forces she chose were all looking to purchase job transfer strategies, and they were all located at a certain distance from each other and not in the same star zone.

When replying to the email, Ye Bai almost subconsciously asked the other party what kind of career strategy they wanted, then he suddenly reacted, organized the reply content, and sent it to the group.

Soon, the civilization forces that Ye Bai replied to received her email and immediately started a discussion.

"Bai Ye's trade's job change guide is [Elemental Mage], which should be his job."

"The transaction price is 20 gold coins. As expected, they only want in-game resources. A lone warrior focuses on self-improvement. Unlike the wealthy families of Yehe Civilization, they can use real-world resources to purchase strategy guides. Including the shipping fee, this means we need to pay 20 gold coins and 1 silver coin for this strategy guide..."

"They even mentioned a key item for job advancement... I'll immediately calculate our faction's public funds!"

Ye Bai waited for no more than 5 minutes before he received a series of approval responses.

Ten forces said they could soon gather enough game coins for the transaction.

Ye Bai was not too surprised, because the prerequisite task for the elemental mage's job change was to collect a kind of dropped item [Elemental Crystal]. This material was only dropped by a few fixed magic monsters. This meant that if these civilizations organized people to control those monster areas in advance, it would be equivalent to mastering that career path.

She concealed the specific content in her reply email and mentioned the key points, which these forces would naturally understand.

Several other forces offered to pay some gold coins as a deposit first, and then pay the balance after receiving the strategy, but Ye Bai directly refused.

On the one hand, ten transactions have been confirmed to be completed, and on the other hand, this is Bai Ye's first transaction. It is important to maintain a tough attitude, which will help to seize the initiative in more transactions later.

The previous successful transaction with the Star Alliance has established Bai Ye's image and some credibility to a certain extent, and she wants to continue to maintain and deepen this impression.

There were also suggestions to use an equal amount of star coins or other resources as a substitute, but Ye Bai also chose to refuse.

Of course, the currency in the Ten Thousand Worlds cannot be directly exchanged for star coins. Otherwise, given the Ten Thousand Worlds' ability to enhance spiritual power, the financial system of this world would have long been squeezed out by the star coins of the universe.

Therefore, the only way for players to obtain game coins is to earn them in a down-to-earth manner or to exchange them offline.

Due to the special nature of the Ten Thousand Worlds, the trading value is also extremely high, and not much can be traded. Unless there is a purpose for making gold, players are more inclined to use the gold coins obtained normally to develop themselves.

Especially in this game's pioneering period, game coins are extremely precious, and their value is far beyond the reach of star coins. It can be said that they are priceless.

In short, choosing star coins instead of game coins at this stage is definitely a losing deal.

Fortunately, the traders are civilized forces, so they have such tremendous control and cohesion, which is far beyond the reach of the game guild, and can gather so many gold coins at this stage to trade with Ye Bai.

But even so, she probably dealt a heavy blow to those civilized forces, even to the point of scraping their skin and bones.

Soon, spirit birds carrying messages flew to Ye Bai one after another, bringing a total of 200 gold coins.

As promised, Ye Bai sent the elemental mage job change guide that he had just quickly prepared.

"It's a pity, I can get fatter after a while..."

When trading with other civilizations, Ye Bai had always planned to exchange a large amount of game resources, and then use a "small number" of star coins as a supplement to make up for it. Now that this unexpected situation has occurred, she can only temporarily take advantage of a wave of unripe leeks.

Fortunately, the strategy provided can also serve as fertilizer, making those forces mistakenly believe that Ye Bai is an elemental mage.

With a pile of gold coins, Ye Bai started his shopping journey in Melo City.

First, he found the magic item store and spent 50 gold coins to upgrade his backpack to an advanced space backpack.

It is expensive, but this is the unified price for the entire game. Ye Bai also chose the top-level one, which has a total of 60 grids. It is all done in one go. The main thing is that it completely removes the previous weight restrictions on supplies and weapons. Whatever is placed in these 60 grids will not affect the character's speed.

Afterwards, Ye Bai continued to spend 20 gold coins to buy 5 second-level magic scrolls with different functions.

"Come often in the future." The old wizard in the prop store smiled and sent Ye Bai, a big customer, away. The clerk who had once stopped Zhu Ya also diligently opened the door for her.

In the potion shop next door, Ye Bai spent ten gold coins to buy 20 bottles of potions with different effects. If a potion shop was built in the territory, the same cost could produce three to four times the amount. It can only be said that any high-level professional would make huge profits.

There is no healing profession in Wanjie like the nanny in traditional online games. The cheapest way to restore blood is of course various foods, but these foods can only restore blood when out of combat. The ways to restore blood that can be used in combat are potions, scrolls, a small number of special props and special skills.

For players at this stage, none of them are cheap.

Next came the equipment. As soon as Ye Bai entered the magic equipment store, he was dazzled by the dazzling array of goods inside. Melo City was worthy of being the main city. There was no shortage of purple rare equipment on the shelves, and the prices were equally touching.

After checking and comparing the attributes one by one, Ye Bai spent 32 gold coins to buy two pieces of purple rare equipment.

Finally, Ye Bai went to a bakery and cleared out most of the stock on the shelves.

After all the spending, Ye Bai had only 88 gold coins left of the huge amount he had just earned, less than half of what he had before. Then he set off for the teleportation array.

[Teleport to 'Tut City'? It will cost 3 gold coins]

The cost of teleportation is related to the distance. This price is still reasonable because the actual distance between Makul Star and Blue Star is not far. After all, they are both within the Milky Way.

A burst of light enveloped Ye Bai. After a slight twisted feeling of weightlessness, the scene in front of Ye Bai changed and he found himself in the inner city of another main city.

The scenery of Tut City is different from that of Merlo City.

The colors of the entire city are mostly red, purple and black. The architectural style is good at using whole huge stones and whole huge trees to construct the structure, and various totems are carved on it, exuding a mysterious and heavy feeling.

Obviously, this is the main city of the Chaos Power School.

The path of the Chaos School is to tap into the potential power in one's own bloodline. The characteristic profession Chaos Warrior can only be changed here. It is very practical because it can both fight and resist. Of course, magic professions can also be chosen, but the spells here are not derived from knowledge, but from prayer and transformation of bloodline, which are called superpowers.

As a whisperer, Ye Bai's magical bloodline is essentially the path of this system.

The inner city of Tut City is just like that of Melo City, with no players to be seen. It was already dusk, and Ye Bai did not stay in the inner city for long. He went to the outer city before the inner city gate closed.

Compared to the inner city area where street lights are built, the outer city area is undoubtedly much dimmer, with only a few main roads having a few street lights.

At this time, most of the players went to the wild to fight monsters. Ye Bai took a windproof lantern he had bought before and walked into the dark alleys of the outer city.

In a main city with a large population, the public security in the outer city is not as good as that in the inner city, and some crimes breed in these dark alleys.

NPCs are not all task-completion tools. Players who are not aware of the situation and wander around in the alleys in the middle of the night can easily suffer losses.

As Ye Bai turned a corner, a dark shadow suddenly rushed towards him without any warning.

【Slowness】

The black shadow's originally swift movements slowed down as a snow-white silver sword in Ye Bai's hand pressed against his neck.

'-2'

The sword blade cut through the shadow's skin, and a low-damage weapon floated out from the opponent.

This is the confusing nature of Ye Bai's equipment. Under normal circumstances, no one would think that a person wearing leather armor and carrying a long sword would be a mage, especially for NPCs.

Ye Bai held the lantern in his other hand closer to the shadow, illuminating the face of a boy of about fifteen or sixteen years old.

Under the lingering effects of the slow spell, the opponent struggled to get up from the ground. Knowing he had run into a tough opponent, he quickly begged for mercy, "Sir, I was wrong. Please let me go!"

Ye Bai retracted his sword and immediately received the other party's gratitude.

"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!"

[You have gained positive reputation in the "Black Street" of Tut City: 5]

This is the temptation that players will inevitably encounter when entering the Black Street of each main city for the first time at night. The tester level is between 10 and 15, with an additional speed bonus. If you are killed by the opponent during the encounter, or you cannot retain the opponent with absolute strength, then your Black Street reputation will not be opened, and you will continue to be harassed.

Only by catching the other party like Ye Bai did now can it be proved that he has the strength to step into the underworld.

If she chooses to kill the attacker, she will also gain 5 negative reputation in the underworld. No one will dare to harass her on the road ahead, but she will not be able to accept some tasks related to the underworld.

Ye Bai took a step forward and prepared to leave. The magic effect would automatically disappear in a few seconds.

Halfway through the walk, she suddenly thought of something and stopped:

"I'm looking for this symbol. Have you seen it anywhere?"

Ye Bai used his sword to draw a triangular symbol on the ground, with the outline of an eye inside.

"Sir, this is it." After the young man finished speaking, he saw Ye Bai nodded and left as if he had been pardoned.

[You gain 1 point of 'Threat' proficiency]

Looking at the unexpectedly activated 'Threat' ability, Ye Bai raised his eyebrows. This was an Easter egg life skill, which would have unexpected effects if one became proficient. Others in the same series included 'Fraud' and 'Stealing', which were all 'life hacks' that would greatly reduce one's reputation if used unsuccessfully, and there was even a chance of being caught and imprisoned in the NPC town.

The house in front of him looked no different from other houses shrouded in darkness. Ye Bai walked closer and touched the symbol on the side of the door handle.

"Knock, knock, knock."

Ye Bai knocked on the door three times rhythmically.

After a moment, a deep voice came from inside the house: "Who?"

Ye Bai replied, "A lost traveler."

"What are you doing here?"

“Embrace the darkness.”

The wooden door creaked open, and the room was dark. Ye Bai walked in calmly, and the wooden door closed automatically.

In the complete darkness, that deep voice said, "Let me see the darkness you want to embrace..."

【Choose your hunting target? 】

Ye Bai did not hesitate. Among the many profession and identity options, he directly chose the one with the largest scope - [Divine Blood].

At the same time she chose, the person in the darkness murmured, "Hmm... I see."

"It's interesting, pointing to others, but also to myself."

"Before you step into the darkness, I hope you can remember that the distinction between hunter and prey is sometimes not so clear, especially when you smell too strongly of blood."

"Are you really ready?"

[Would you like to join the 'Assassin's Guild' faction? ]

[When equipped with a faction appearance: You will be attacked by the enemy faction; attacking the hunted target will increase bonus damage by (number of kills)%, with no upper limit; killing the hunted target of your choice will increase the drop chance by (50 + number of kills)%; when you are killed by the hunted target, the drop chance will increase by (50 + number of kills)%. Upon death, double experience will be deducted and the bonus damage effect will be cleared.]

This was the purpose of Ye Bai coming here. She had long been aware of the situation in the camp and decisively chose yes.

The next moment, the prompt sounded again.

[You have turned on the faction mode and joined the 'Assassin's Guild' faction]

[Current Faction Reputation Value: 0, Current Reputation Level: Gray Robe Assassin]

[Hostile camp: All forces other than the Assassin's Guild]

The second update will probably be a bit late, so those who go to bed early can come and watch it tomorrow.
