Midday!
Zhang Pingfan received a system prompt.
[Ding! System Prompt: Congratulations on completing the system's task to expand the新手村 (newbie village). Novice Village No. 88 has officially been upgraded to a Level Two Novice Village. Congratulations on receiving a moving spring as a reward!]
What???
Zhang Mingfan's eyebrows twitched.
The previous rewards had some tangible effect.
The reward was just a moving spring.
Isn't this just for decoration?
They're getting stingier and stingier.
Never mind, he was used to the system's stingy settings.
Looking at a spring prop in his backpack, being able to move it meant he could change its location at any time.
Without thinking further, Zhang Pingfan directly placed it in the novice village's plaza.
With a spring landscape in the empty novice village plaza, it looked quite nice.
[Ding! System Prompt: Congratulations to Novice Village No. 88 for successfully upgrading to a Level Two Novice Village. The map of this novice village has expanded, with the highest monster level at 20. Two-way teleportation between the novice village and the main city is now open!]
A large wave of people leveled up by 2 levels at the same time. Players who had logged off to sleep long ago were extremely envious.
Not only were they two levels behind these people, but they also missed out on a few free attribute points.
Especially Dou Youyou, who directly jumped 5 levels, reaching first place on the server's level ranking.
Now that Dou Youyou held the top spot on all three rankings, she had solidified her title as the highest combat power in Myth.
The players of Novice Village No. 88 had also caught up with the main group due to this upgrade.
The appearance of the novice village had been greatly improved the moment the quest was completed.
The entire novice village had doubled in size and layout, with the previously crowded small paths now widened.
The buildings, which were originally thatched huts, had now become brick and tile houses.
Not only that, but two guards had also appeared at the entrance of the novice village.
Dou Youyou excitedly approached Zhang Pingfan.
"Master, the quest is finally complete, mission accomplished!"
Zhang Pingfan nodded and said, "Yes, not bad. Hurry up and level up to 20, and Master will give you a new quest!"
"Really?" Dou Youyou's eyes lit up.
Just moments ago, her level had risen to 15, and she had received an additional 5 free attribute points.
After allocating the attribute points, her combat power score increased from the original 3200 points directly to 3500 points.
Since her level-up this time was equivalent to others leveling up 10 times, the combat power increase was also more significant.
"Would I lie to you? Hurry up and level up, don't waste time. You're the number one in the server now, don't tarnish your Master's reputation!"
Dou Youyou said, "Got it, got it. Huh? When did this spring landscape appear here?"
Zhang Pingfan said with a hint of helplessness, "A useless thing, I just placed it."
"Useless? Master, you must be joking. My stamina was only at 70, and as soon as I came here, it was fully restored. This thing is clearly a good item!"
But in Zhang Pingfan's eyes, this thing had no effect.
"Are you sure?"
"Of course. I wonder if this spring can heal injuries. Master, hit me and see?"
Zhang Pingfan's face darkened.
"Are you asking for a beating?"
"I'm just verifying! Hurry up and do it!"
Zhang Pingfan extended his right hand and slapped down. He discovered that Dou Youyou didn't lose any health because they were on the same team, so she couldn't lose health.
"Uh, I forgot we're on the same team. How about I go find someone else to test it on!"
Zhang Pingfan shook his head and said, "No need, I know how to switch factions!"
He mentally chanted to switch factions.
The five large characters above Zhang Pingfan's head directly changed from green to red.
Dou Youyou's side also displayed that the current target was attackable.
"Wow! Master, you're so amazing, you can do this! Teach me quickly, I want to change too!"
Zhang Pingfan said, "You want everything. The water here is too deep, and I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it. Stand still, I'm about to strike!"
Dou Youyou nodded, holding her staff, waiting for her Master's judgment.
Zhang Pingfan took a deep breath. He had never tried attacking a player before to see what would happen.
Zhang Pingfan slapped down.
Dou Youyou was sent flying.
Her nearly 5000 health was instantly depleted to critical levels.
This was even with Zhang Pingfan being careful not to use too much force, only using less than 1/3 of his strength.
He hadn't expected that with this much strength, Dou Youyou would be almost killed by him.
Dou Youyou limped back.
She looked at Zhang Pingfan with resentment.
"Master, you hit too hard, I'm in a severely injured state. Huh, the severely injured state is gone, and my health is recovering. Master, this spring can really add health, and it can also remove debuffs. What a powerful spring!"
Zhang Pingfan watched as the severely injured Dou Youyou recovered to her original state at an extremely fast pace.
"Damn it, so this thing really is a good item! Youyou, attack me and let me try to see what this thing feels like!"
Having just been sent flying by Zhang Pingfan, Dou Youyou didn't say another word. She raised her staff and cast her skills, not giving Zhang Pingfan any chance to hesitate.
As a result, after several seemingly fierce skills, Zhang Pingfan didn't lose a single bit of health.
"Youyou, did you not eat? You don't lose any health when you hit me, can you do it?"
Dou Youyou was so angry.
"Master, how would I know? Could it be that players can't attack NPCs?"
Zhang Pingfan thought for a moment. Perhaps it was this setting, otherwise, how could Dou Youyou's attacks not cause him damage.
"Forget it, I can't be bothered to test it anymore. You've already tested it, and it's indeed a good thing, so let's leave it here!"
"Yes, this thing is indeed a good thing, but its healing range is a bit lacking. I sensed it, it's only about 10 meters."
This was already quite good. He had initially thought it was just a decorative landscape, but he hadn't expected it to have a health recovery effect. This was simply a godsend for the players of Novice Village No. 88.
In Myth, gold coins were extremely rare.
Players had a chance to obtain copper coins when killing monsters.
100 copper coins could be exchanged for one silver coin.
Only 100 silver coins could be exchanged for one gold coin.
Since the server opened, lucky players might have had two or three silver coins.
However, these copper and silver coins were only enough for daily expenses and supplies, so most players would avoid using recovery potions if they could.
Especially after dying and resurrecting, everyone's health was only at 20%.
Most players would choose to wait in place for the system to automatically restore their health, but this waiting time was a bit long, around two minutes.
But with this spring, it was different. It would only take less than 5 seconds to be fully healed.
Zhang Pingfan said, "Such a good thing, we can't just give it to these guys for free!"
As he said this, a cunning merchant's smile appeared on Zhang Pingfan's face.
