Li Wei's face was grim.
"You two wait for me. Next time, I'll definitely get back what I lost, with interest!"
Zhao Xin sneered, "Hmph, an alliance as large as ours, and you, the Li family, think you're worthy? Don't talk to me about your Four Great Families' alliance. You know in your heart whether you're still allied or not!"
Li Wei's expression was unsightly.
Initially, the four great families had indeed intended to establish a cooperative relationship for mutual benefit within the game.
However, the appearance of the Village Chief had first pulled the Nangong family away.
Subsequently, the Ouyang family inexplicably withdrew from their tripartite alliance.
In the end, only the Li family and the Chen family remained.
And the Chen family wasn't entirely aligned with him; after all, with only two families left, each would naturally have its own agenda.
Looking at it this way, the Four Great Families were truly insignificant.
"What we do is none of your business. You might not remember today's debt, but I do. Let's go!"
Li Wei led his people away in a hurry.
During this period, several guild tokens had also been dropped. Each of the four great families had established a guild, and the remaining guild tokens would be contested by other guilds.
Zhao Xin bowed to Tian Qi Huang.
"Thank you, President Tian Qi, for your help!"
Tian Qi Huang smiled and said, "We're all family, what's with the thanks? This secret realm was opened by your key. If you find anything good that suits me, remember to sell it to me first!"
"Absolutely!"
"Good, then you continue your search for other secret realms!"
"Alright!"
Was it really that easy to obtain hidden professions? Two hidden professions had already appeared. It would be harder than climbing to heaven to get a third one.
Indeed, as it turned out, by the time midnight struck today, a third hidden profession had still not appeared.
Players had already explored all the accessible areas. As for areas above level 50, only Pingfan City had them, but no one dared to go there.
Of course, there were also level 50 areas in the three main cities that players couldn't cross. The monsters in those areas were too high-level, all in their sixties. A single hit from them would result in death, making them impossible to fight.
Basically, all accessible places had been visited, and there were no more secret realms to discover. This caused immense regret for players who couldn't obtain hidden professions.
On the second day, Zhang Pingfan entered the game and saw players complaining.
They were asking why there were so few secret realms in the game and why the drop rate for hidden professions was so low. They strongly demanded an increase in secret realms and an improvement in the drop rate for hidden professions.
Zhang Pingfan muttered, "Do they really want to eat shit? It's already pretty good to have one hidden profession, let alone two! System Sister, tell me, will there be hidden professions in the secret realms later on?"
[Ding! Yes, in the level 60 area of Pingfan City, there is another hidden profession hidden within a secret realm. However, that secret realm is very powerful, and ordinary people cannot obtain it! After that, you'll have to go to the Savage City!]
"Alright, but the appearance rate of hidden professions is still too low. Have you considered increasing the drop rate for hidden professions a bit? Although I know there are only 69 hidden professions, the current drop rate is too little!"
[Ding! After all, the game's lifespan I set is two years. Only a few months have passed so far. It's already quite good to have produced 8 hidden professions!]
So that's how it was. The system had set the game's lifespan to two years, meaning that after two years, some unpredictable events would surely occur.
It seemed that Zhang Pingfan needed to make some plans in advance.
"System Sister, you said this world is more vast than I imagined. What exactly do you mean? Can't I understand it with my current abilities?"
[Ding! It's not time yet!]
"Alright, Youyou's level is about to reach 50. It's time to consider establishing a sect. System Sister, do you have any suggestions, such as the sect's name, its rules, and other miscellaneous Chinese things!"
[Ding! Yes, I have a set of ready-made ones here. I think you'll like them!]
"Oh, it's... Ah!!!"
Zhang Pingfan covered his head in panic and let out a yell.
A string of information flooded into his mind.
[Ding! System prompt: Memory reading complete!]
"Damn, can't you give me a heads-up and let me prepare?"
[Ding! No!]
"...Forget it, I can't be bothered to argue with a woman like you!"
In Zhang Pingfan's opinion, this system was definitely controlled by a female. As for who it was, Zhang Pingfan didn't know.
Zhang Pingfan began to read the information in his memory.
Heavenly God Sect? What's this? Can I be satisfied with this? I can be satisfied with anything, but this is probably the name the girl herself likes!
Heavenly God Sect Rules: A loving family...
Screw you! What kind of nonsense is this!
However, there was a line of small text afterward: "Killing fellow disciples is an additional crime; harming compatriots will lead to a thousand arrows piercing the heart! Unite and resist foreign enemies; those who offend our disciples will be punished, no matter how far!"
That's more like it, otherwise, what would this be called a sect rule!
Looking at it this way, this Heavenly God Sect wasn't bad.
Wait, why does this feel familiar? Have I seen it somewhere before?
It must have been in some novel I read before, but it feels fine, I'm too lazy to think about it!
"Good, then it's the Heavenly God Sect!"
Zhang Pingfan had already decided on the sect's name and rules. Although they were ready-made, they looked decent at least.
On the other hand, Dou Youyou was also accelerating her leveling speed.
Once the Savage City was opened, it would mean a brand new trial for Zhang Pingfan.
Not just for Zhang Pingfan, but for all players as well.
Even the Lord of Pingjiang City felt that the Savage City was powerful, which meant that the NPCs there were truly strong, and the monsters must also be extraordinary.
In the following days, the players' enthusiasm for finding hidden professions decreased considerably, as they couldn't find any no matter how hard they tried.
Just as Dou Youyou was about to reach level 50, with only 5% of the experience left.
A system prompt shattered the game's bottleneck.
[Ding! System prompt: An anonymous player is auctioning the Blazing Lava Mage hidden profession on the system's consignment auction. The auction time is set for 8 PM tonight, with a starting bid of 10,000 gold coins!]
"Damn, another hidden profession!"
"I just gave up searching for hidden professions today, and someone else snatched it up. Damn it!"
"What the hell? I've been searching day and night for hidden professions for the past few days, and some brat found it. I'm going to vomit blood!"
Rogue players were roaring, while guilds were frantically contacting people and exchanging gold. Today, none of them wanted this hidden profession to be found by someone else. Basically, everyone was paying attention to this event.
After all, it was no secret that hidden professions were terrifyingly powerful!
Zhang Pingfan leaned back on his recliner, a smile on his face, as if nothing had happened.
