Eliza was taken aback, walked up to Jiang Hao, and accepted the letter of recommendation. She seemed utterly incredulous that a player would actually give her something like this.
"Oh, please wait a moment."
After opening the letter of recommendation, Eliza quickly glanced at it. Then she stared intently at Jiang Hao for a couple of seconds.
"Newbie Village No. 006 in Shanghai District?"
Eliza still wore an incredulous expression. Jiang Hao didn't answer, which was taken as tacit agreement.
"Okay, I will open the teleportation array between Jinling City and your starting village. This way, players in starting village 006 of the Shanghai area can directly teleport to the Priest Cathedral Square in Jinling City."
After saying this, Eliza tapped her fingers twice in mid-air. Without any further movement, Jiang Hao heard a system notification.
Server-wide announcement: Congratulations to player "Lord of Hell" for completing the Arena Recommendation Letter quest! All players in Novice Village 006 of the Magic City District have been granted the right to teleport to Jinling City. The system rewards you with 40 gold coins. This announcement is made to encourage you!
The server-wide announcement was played on a continuous loop three times. Every player in the Lingxu game heard it clearly.
All the players in the No. 006 beginner village in Shanghai were overjoyed upon hearing this news. Although the benefits of going to the main city were still unclear, based on the settings of other games, surely the main city would offer things like buying equipment, learning skills, and accepting quests? So, the players who were busy fighting monsters stopped and flocked directly to the beginner village. Using the teleportation array next to the village chief, they arrived in Jinling City ahead of time to see if there were any opportunities there.
As for the players in the other starting villages, they were all in an uproar. The previous server-wide announcement only highlighted the Hell Lord's power. They could only feel a little envious at most. After all, the stronger the Hell Lord was, the further away he was from them. Most people could even remain unmoved when they heard the Hell Lord's server-wide announcements later. But now, players from the same starting village as the Hell Lord had gained an opportunity because of him, and that was something they couldn't tolerate.
"Why can everyone else go to Jinling City, but we can't? Are all the newbies in our village useless?"
"I'm so damn envious and jealous. I only regret that I wasn't born in the same newbie village as the Lord of Hell."
"Damn, they went to the main city, so they can buy equipment at will? I thought it was stupid not to spend money in this game, but it turns out I'm not qualified enough to go to the main city."
"By the way, what's the recommendation letter quest for this Colosseum? Is anyone interested in checking it out?"
"The strongest warrior in Shanghai District No. 007 is willing to fight, but he asks if any expert can tell him what the mission of the invitation to the Colosseum is."
"Kyoto District No. 002's strongest squad is volunteering. We just need someone to tell us how to complete the Colosseum invitation quest."
This caused a huge stir, with almost all the players in the starting villages inquiring about the quest to teleport to the main city. Among them, the players in starting village 006 of the Shanghai district, aside from those thanking Jiang Hao, were almost all asking him for quest details on behalf of friends. However, Jiang Hao himself didn't see this information.
As Jiang Hao stepped out of the government service hall, he hadn't taken two steps when he saw someone waving at him. Who else could it be but tens of thousands of sows?
Looking at the God-Slaying Curse debuff above his head, Jiang Hao reluctantly walked over.
"You're pretty quick."
"Hahaha, of course! I arrived the moment you activated the teleportation array."
Jiang Hao thought he would use the game administrator's teleportation function like last time. Unexpectedly, this guy waited until the teleportation array activated and then teleported over directly.
What a jerk!
Upon seeing Jiang Hao again, the smiling faces of tens of thousands of sows were like flowers in the sunlight.
"Let's go to the Hall of Heroes."
"Huh? Aren't you removing the gold coins? I'm still waiting to earn gold coins to buy potions!"
"Without first upgrading your star rating, you're not even qualified to enter the Black Dragon Palace."
"Upgrade star rating?"
"It's a challenge arena; as long as you win, you can increase your star rating."
"What are the benefits of upgrading my star rating? Does it mean I can become a citizen of Jinling City?"
"That's not all. Most importantly, your attribute values can be greatly improved. If you successfully complete the challenge once, you'll become a one-star player, and your main attribute will increase by 100 points per level. If you succeed twice, you'll increase by 500 points. If you succeed three times, your main attribute will increase by 2000 points per level. And if..."
"Stop! Stop!"
Jiang Hao reached out to stop the tens of thousands of sows from continuing.
"If I take on the challenge and succeed, how much will my strength increase?"
The tens of thousands of sows never expected Jiang Hao to ask such a question, and they thought about it as they spoke.
"You belong to the magic-based class, and your primary attribute is Intelligence. Strength and Agility are increased by one-third of Intelligence, which is 33 points. You are currently level 13, 33 multiplied by 13... is..."
"429!"
"Yes, yes, 429 points. As long as you succeed in the challenge, you will immediately gain 429 points of health."
-63.7
White damage numbers floated above Jiang Hao's head. Jiang Hao quickly gulped down several mouthfuls of healing potions.
"So, if I succeed in the challenge, my health will increase by 4290, and I'll lose health every second?"
Jiang Hao pointed to the top of his head, looking at him questioningly. The tens of thousands of sows' eyes narrowed; they then realized this path was blocked.
"How about...how about...how about you take off all the equipment that increases your health?"
Jiang Hao was so angry he laughed.
But what else can we do if we don't take them off?
So he quickly did as instructed, putting his current equipment into his backpack one by one. His health dropped from 6370 to 390.
After thinking about it, I equipped the beginner's cloth robe and beginner's staff.
The health bar remains at 390.
Heh, that's really nice!
"So, does that mean I can go and challenge it once? Otherwise, I can't enter the Black Dragon Palace."
Tens of thousands of sows pointed to the cathedral next to them.
That's all we can do.
As the two walked down the street, Jiang Hao broke the silence first.
"Um, is this God-Slaying Curse really unbreakable? Has anyone survived being cursed by it?"
Looking into Jiang Hao's eyes, tens of thousands of sows sighed softly.
"No."
"As I said, there was once a true god, a true god-level war god, who was only able to last for one day because of this curse."
"Think about the true god? He had countless treasures and elixirs around him, yet he only lasted for one day."
"Can't you just log off directly?"
Tens of thousands of sows looked at Jiang Hao with suspicion.
"I mean, just log off, take off your helmet, and log back on after 15 days."
The tens of thousands of sows seemed to understand, but their eyes darted around uncertainly. Finally, they sighed and spoke solemnly.
"If you log off, your character will die and will never be able to log back in!"
"ah?"
What does "never be able to log in again" mean?
Tens of thousands of sows sighed again.
"He's dead."
