Chapter 1 Seeing the System Prompt

Looking at the system prompt, Nie Yan was puzzled that he didn't get any experience points for killing a Dullahan.

Did the monsters in this map not give experience?

He checked the quest status, deciding to continue and see what the result would be after completing the quest.

Nie Yan mastered the technique of killing Dullahans, making it easy to deal with these creatures. He shot them down unscathed one after another, checking the quest status—1620, and he also collected 3 blueprints.

The drop rate for the Dullahan Doro's Riding Crossbow Blueprint Fragments was not bad, at least Nie Yan saw hope of collecting them all.

After killing a few Dullahans, Nie Yan began to try using the Necromantic Ritual to command them.

Having figured out the Dullahans' weaknesses, he was certain that as long as he stayed behind them, he would be safe, so he could confidently use the Necromantic Ritual.

The success rate of the Necromantic Ritual was a bit low, but there were successes. After repeated failures, Nie Yan finally gathered five Dullahans and commanded them to sweep the area frantically, greatly increasing the speed of monster slaying, and he quickly completed the task.

System: Quest Progress 1 complete, you have obtained the title of Novice Undead Hunter.

System: Quest Progress 2, kill Dullahans, number 0/200.

Nie Yan checked his status. The Novice Undead Hunter title gave him 1 point of respect in all human kingdoms.

Each player can have many titles, such as Shadow Dancer, Grand Thief, Divine Priest, etc. These are professional honors. There are also some special titles, such as Believer of the Gods, and now Undead Hunter. Each title often has special attribute bonuses, such as the Novice Undead Hunter, which grants an extra 1 point of respect. This title reward was not bad, after all, the entire human kingdom was so large, and increasing a point of respect would be very useful in the future.

Completing the Treant Forest dungeon, buying a shop, and establishing a guild can earn a certain amount of respect. Nie Yan's respect in Calore City has reached 19 points, and now with an extra 1 point of respect bonus, his respect has reached 20 points.

City respect is difficult to increase. Respect in towns and villages is easier, but as for human kingdom respect, Nie Yan only obtained it once in his previous life, when he obtained the Grand Thief title, which gave an extra 5 points of respect in the human kingdom. Of course, the Grand Thief title also had other extra rewards, but he didn't expect this Novice Undead Hunter to have an extra human kingdom respect bonus.

Looking at the next quest, he didn't expect Quest Progress 2 was still killing Dullahans, but the number to kill was more than Quest Progress 1. This quest was really strange.

With five Dullahans, Nie Yan killed them much faster than before, continuing this quest to see what the subsequent quest rewards would be.

After a long time, Nie Yan finally collected 10 Dullahan Doro's Riding Crossbow Blueprint Fragments. These fragments emitted a dazzling light in his palm and eventually slowly synthesized into a complete blueprint. This was a heavy crossbow. If one didn't have enough strength, it would be difficult to lift, and since this crossbow was so heavy, wearing it would greatly affect movement speed. So, it couldn't be carried around often, but put in the backpack to be used when needed.

Putting the blueprint into his backpack, he checked the gains since entering. In addition to a few level 30 equipment, he also got three equipment blueprints: one level 30 Silver equipment blueprint, and two level 30 Bronze equipment blueprints. Equipment blueprints were relatively rare. Bronze and Silver equipment had a large market among ordinary players, after all, they couldn't afford Gold equipment, so they could only make do with Bronze and Silver equipment. In the future, if Nie Yan opened an equipment store and hired some advanced blacksmiths and tailors, he could produce these equipment. These equipment attributes were quite good and could earn a lot of money.

The equipment blueprint drop rate here was very high. In Nie Yan's eyes, these things were golden coins!

In the future, besides the potion shop, Nie Yan would also need various other shops, including an equipment shop. When commerce becomes prosperous in the future, it would be difficult to achieve a monopoly, but as long as he occupies a certain market share, he could earn a lot of money. He could slowly prepare from now on.

He spotted another Dullahan. Nie Yan commanded his five Dullahans to rush up, beating the Dullahan to death in a gang fight, then searching for the next target.

Two hours later, Nie Yan completed Quest Progress 2.

System: Quest Progress 2 complete, you have obtained the title of Intermediate Undead Hunter.

He checked the Intermediate Undead Hunter's bonus status: +2 respect in all human kingdoms.

He didn't expect to be able to continue increasing respect. Increasing respect was very beneficial for doing quests and developing in various cities in the future.

System: Quest Progress 3, kill Dullahans, 0/2000.

This quest was starting to become more and more terrifying, but curious about the final result of the quest, Nie Yan persevered.

Continuing deeper, Nie Yan gradually discovered that Doro's Phantasmal Realm was very vast, which could be described as boundless. He walked for several hours and still couldn't reach the end.

More than three hours later, Nie Yan discovered a temple building in the center of Doro's Phantasmal Realm. It occupied a very large area, was magnificent and spectacular, like a Greek temple, with tall stone pillars standing high. The pillars were covered with lion carvings, and layers of steps led to the main hall. The hall door was tightly closed, a huge iron door six yards high, eroded by the years, but still giving a sense of dread.

Nie Yan lingered outside the temple for a while, discovering that at least hundreds of Dullahans in full black armor were gathered at the temple entrance.

Despite being very curious about this temple, he didn't dare to take risks. He bypassed the temple and continued to obediently farm Dullahans. Although the Dullahans didn't give experience, the items they produced were extremely good, which could at least make up for it.

What puzzled Nie Yan a bit was that although he had killed countless Dullahans, his red name was disappearing very slowly, and it didn't move for a long time.

This place was indeed extremely strange.

As he was about to go offline, Nie Yan dropped a backpack. At first, he didn't pay attention to it, but after looking at it, he discovered it was a 32-slot backpack.

Magic Rune Backpack: 32 slots.

In other places, even ordinary 24-slot backpacks were very rare, and 28-slot backpacks were even rarer. He didn't expect to drop a 32-slot backpack here. Even at levels forty or fifty, 32-slot backpacks were very valuable, and they couldn't be bought on the market at all.

He organized his backpack, replaced a 20-slot backpack, and put the 32-slot one on. The backpack immediately had a lot more space. If he could get more Magic Rune Backpacks, the space would be much larger.

Since he dropped the first Magic Rune Backpack, it proved that there was a certain probability of dropping Magic Rune Backpacks by farming Dullahans.

Maybe he could get a second one. Nie Yan was even more motivated. If he had five 32-slot backpacks, he wouldn't need to change backpacks until levels fifty or sixty. Every time he went out, he could carry more consumables, so he wouldn't have to use return scrolls to run back to the city all the time.

While Nie Yan was diligently farming Dullahans, the outside world was already in an uproar.

Tang Yao leveled up to level 18 and started to rush to 19. Po Tian was also closely following, not letting go, and reached level 17. Half-Awake Fox and others were not willing to be left behind, and a wave of leveling quietly swept through.

"Why haven't we heard from Big Brother Nie Yan?" Sun asked with some worry.

"He should be in the game at this time. If he hasn't been killed back to the city, it proves that he is still safe. We don't need to worry too much," Tang Yao said, although he was also a little worried in his heart, he didn't show it.

Yao Yao constantly sent Nie Yan messages, but never received a reply.

One elite after another died at Tang Yao's hands, but he still hadn't found the Maniac Medal, but his experience soared, and he leveled up very quickly. His red name was also gradually disappearing, so Tang Yao still didn't relax. If he ran out of Mist Dust, he would let Sun borrow some money from the Starlight Potion Shop and scrape together some money to buy more.

Nie Yan had told Niao Bu Sheng Dan that if Tang Yao needed money, he should lend it to him first. Moreover, Tang Yao had sent several Intermediate Potion Formulas to the Starlight Potion Shop, the value of these formulas far exceeded the money Tang Yao withdrew. Sun also replenished the guild warehouse with the equipment that Tang Yao and others dropped, and then helped them replenish some consumables.

Feydream Forest, level 20 Dodo spawn point. In the past, there were not many players here, but now it was very lively, with at least seventy or eighty players from the Triumphant Guild gathered.

Po Tian finally gathered twelve mages who knew small-range magic to form a team to level up together, using group attack magic to farm monsters.

Twenty or thirty thieves shuttled through the forest, leading groups of Dodos to a clearing in the jungle, and then the mages cast range magic, waves of range magic falling down, smashing out waves of damage. Range magic was extremely mana-consuming. When their mana couldn't keep up, a large group of Holy Word Priests immediately walked up to transfer mana to the mages responsible for damage output, ensuring that their mana was always in a relatively high state. If that didn't work, they would drink mana potions!

A dozen range spells intertwined, waves of Dodos falling to the ground. Po Tian's experience soared, and his leveling speed was not slow, and he kept up with Tang Yao's pace, chasing very closely.

As for Half-Awake Fox and others, they also found some faster leveling methods and frantically rushed to level up. The level leaderboard was turbulent. However, Tang Yao's first place remained unshakable.

~~Finally finished writing, Snail is starving to death.
