Chapter 4  : The Scourge of Bandits, Proud Guild

Li Yi’s physical attack had also reached a terrifying 81 points! If he were to return to the beginner’s zone now, those players without any equipment would be like child’s play to Li Yi. He would be very confident in his attack now!

However, Li Yi would not casually kill other players unless they came to provoke him.

Li Yi held his greatsword and continued to search for Wild Wolves in the forest. He could not wait to find a monster to try his new equipment.

Not long after, he found a Wild Wolf that had just respawned. Li Yi immediately rushed over there, bypassing the attack of the Wild Wolves and directly attacked it.

“Chi!”

“-71.”

It was so sharp. One hit had taken away more than a quarter of the health of the Wild Wolf. Moreover, this was not even their weak point. This kind of superior feeling was simply too great.

Along the way, Li Yi still had a large amount of HP and the support of his recovery ability. At this moment, killing two Wild Wolves at once was not too difficult.

Li Yi had been searching for a second elite Wild Wolf this whole time. He was looking forward to the possibility of the elite Wild Wolf dropping another high-level piece of equipment or something. In doing so, it could make his journey more comfortable.

…

Right as Li Yi was trying his best to search for one, he saw a person who sat under a tree in the distance. Looking at his clothes, one could tell that he was not a player.

“I actually met an NPC in the wild. This is a great thing!”

He quickly killed the Wild Wolf that had blocked his way and walked towards the NPC with large strides.

This NPC was a middle-aged man. However, it looked like he was seriously injured and was not breathing well. It seemed like he would not live long!

Li Yi knew that NPCs that were injured in the wild usually had missions. Moreover, the missions were usually not simple and the difficulty was usually a little high. However, the rewards after completing the missions were also extremely bountiful.

Walking up to the NPC, Li Yi looked at the nickname above the NPC’s head and could not help but be stunned.

“It’s him?”

Traveler — Harper!

In the world of Divine Revelation, this kind of traveler had an extremely special NPC job. It was known as the most miserable and conscientious NPC in history. Their backgrounds were all different, but there was one thing that they all had in common.

They were either about to die, or they were seriously ill and were on the brink of death.

Before they died, they would hand the mission over to the first player they met, and this traveler — Harper, just so happened to have encountered Li Yi at this moment.

He was the key person in opening the level 10 dungeon — Robber Augustus Cave. As long as he completed this chain mission, he would be able to open this dungeon, and it was the only dungeon that was level 10 in the Novice Village.

Most importantly, the ring on the traveler’s hand would become the first perfect-grade equipment after the final chain mission was completed. This was definitely a very tempting mission.

This was because Harper was very famous, and Li Yi had a fond memory of him!

Li Yi immediately asked, “Respected traveler, you seem to be seriously injured. Is there anything I can help you with?”

The NPCs in Divine Revelation were very intelligent. They should be treated similarly to wise people in the real world.

If you did not respect them, even if they died, they would not give you the mission. This set of words was basically commonly spoken to many NPCs.

Hearing Li Yi’s words, Harper raised his head with difficulty and spoke with a bitter smile.

“I do need help, but my injuries are currently beyond redemption. I only hope that you can personally deliver this ring to the Village Chief, Adventurer!”

As soon as Harper finished speaking, Li Yi received a notification.

[System Notification: Traveler Harper has issued an E-grade chain mission to you!]

[Mission Content: Deliver traveler Harper’s ring to the Village Chief!]

[Mission Rewards: Unknown.]

[System Notification: Should you choose to accept this mission?]

Li Yi accepted without hesitation. If he were not to accept, what was the point of him approaching the traveler?

“I will definitely complete it, please rest assured!!” Li Yi replied firmly.

“Cough cough… Then I am relieved. You should leave now. I want to rest for a while. Help me comfort the Village Chief. Tell him to not be too sad!”

After saying that, Harper took off the ring with great difficulty and handed it to Li Yi. He did not continue speaking and lowered his head to wait for the arrival of death.

After Li Yi said farewell to Harper, he also quickly walked towards the village.

…

On his way back, he encountered the Wild Wolves that had respawned. He did not waste his time ending them. In any case, he only needed to use two or three strikes to take them away.

However, there was no equipment dropped. All of them were copper coins.

After a while, Li Yi finally arrived at a place close to the Novice Village. He could see that there were large groups of players who chatted in groups of two or three.

As long as the Black Rats respawned, they would end their conversations and begin their journey to fight the monsters.

When the player killed a Black Rat, he suddenly felt that his eyes were a little dazzled from something shining. He immediately looked over and saw Li Yi returning from afar. For a moment, this player was stunned.

He had to be stunned. That person he saw carried a huge sword that was as tall as a human. The black wolf head on the hilt of the sword looked as if it was real. The body of the sword shone under the sun. It was an extremely cool sight to see!

Compared to the small broken sword in his hand, he wishes he could just simply throw it away.

“What is that? Where did this person get his equipment? He’s really cool!!!”

“If I didn’t look at the map, that person’s coordinates were red. I would have thought that an NPC had come to the beginner’s village. However, I’m sure that the quality of this greatsword is high. Our weapons are incomparable to it.”

“I feel that there’s definitely something going on here. Could this guy be an inner player? How long has it been? He’s already got such a cool greatsword?”

“Hehe! What’s there to be jealous about? He’s a God anyway. I’m not going to talk to you guys anymore. I’ll go up and add him as a friend!”

“…”

As soon as these words were said, everyone started whispering around one another. Even the Black Rat that had just respawned did not seem as fun anymore. These people immediately swarmed towards Li Yi.

Li Yi looked at the crowd in front of him and did not say anything as he squeezed his way through. Right now, the players were all at level 1. In terms of strength, Li Yi definitely had the upper hand. They could not stop Li Yi at all.

Li Yi forcefully squeezed his way in and left behind a group of players who looked like little wives. However, there were still some who did not give up and kept trying to start a conversation behind Li Yi.

Li Yi ignored them and walked straight towards the Village Chief’s house. At this moment, the Village Chief was standing outside the house. He smiled as he looked at the player who approached him. It seemed that he was very happy with the player’s arrival.

Li Yi directly went forward and said, “Village Chief, a traveler named Harper asked me to give this ring to you.”

“Huh?” The Village Chief took the ring and seemed to have thought of something. He spoke with an unsightly expression, “Little Harper? Where is he? Why isn’t he here?”

“When I met him, he was on the verge of death. This is something that he requested to hand over to the Village Chief! !” Li Yi replied.

“My… Little Harper!!!” The Village Chief’s eyes were brimmed red and his face turned furious. “It must be those damn Bandits. Adventurer, you must help me get rid of them!!”

[System Notification: Mission has been updated!]

[Mission Content: Head to the outside of the village and kill 100 Bandits to avenge Little Harper (part two of the mission)]

[Mission Reward: Unknown!]

“I will! Don’t worry, Village Chief!” Li Yi nodded and walked towards the door.

A little fatty sneakily ran towards the door and spoke with a smile, “Your weapon is definitely not for sale, but you must have obtained a lot of game coins. I’ll offer you a dollar for a silver coin. I don’t know if you’ll sell it, but I stand on this offer!”

Li Yi had killed monsters for so long, but he only had six silver coins and some copper coins on him. He did not have enough, so he definitely would not sell it.

In this world, 1 gold coin equates to 100 silver coins. Whereas 100 silver coins equate to 10,000 copper coins!

Li Yi directly rejected the fatty’s offer. The demand for game coins was far from its peak, and the price was relatively cheap. Selling it would be a loss.

Fatty looked at Li Yi who had turned around and left. He wanted to say something, but he hesitated. In the end, he gave up. Then, he carefully looked around and quickly left the scene.

Li Yi went outside of the village. The group of people that had asked to be brought along with him were looking at him from afar. They did not go forward, as if they were waiting for something.

After Li Yi had walked some distance, a few people immediately squeezed through the players and cut off Li Yi’s path of retreat. They surrounded Li Yi with an evil smile on their faces.

The young man who led them spoke arrogantly with a ruffian look on his face, “Kid, I’ll buy your greatsword. Give him the money.”

The underling beside that person directly took out a copper coin and threw it at Li Yi’s feet.

Li Yi glanced at the people who surrounded him.. He internally scoffed at the person who intended on buying a greatsword with a copper coin.
