Chapter 1 Nie Yan's Reminder

Nie Yan gave his father a reminder that if the Ni Ren Tribe (Amazing People Tribe) and the War God Tribe wanted to develop in Faith, they would inevitably touch the interests of the Century Financial Group. The Century Financial Group was a behemoth. They hadn't yet attracted the Century Financial Group's attention, but if they did, it would be a little troublesome. Therefore, they had to master more trump cards before the Century Financial Group reacted!

Nie's father had some business to attend to in the evening and went to the company. Nie Yan had dinner and put on his helmet to enter the game.

Everything was still dark. Players could only increase their dark vision to expand their viewing ability.

Players of the two major camps were not allowed to access the forums of the opposing camp, only their own country's forums. They also couldn't search for information about the opposing camp's country, so the opposing country had a certain mystery to them. Faith did this to increase the game's playability. However, players could still collect some news about the opposing camp through various channels. During their time offline, they had obtained information about Nie Yan.

Nie Yan's identity as the president of the Ni Ren Tribe guild in Karlo City could no longer be concealed. In addition, some of Nie Yan's videos had been dug up and circulated among the players of the Undead Empire.

The bounty for hunting Nie Yan had been raised to about five hundred gold coins. Those players who had been killed by Nie Yan couldn't come up with too much money for the bounty, so five hundred gold coins was their limit.

Moreover, Nie Yan was alone in the dungeon, without any support. Although he was the guild leader, he couldn't use his guild members. Therefore, a bounty of 500 gold coins was enough. Five hundred gold coins still attracted many people. It wasn't easy to find a business that earned five hundred gold coins at once, so a group of expert-level players mobilized and searched for Nie Yan's踪迹 (zōngjì traces).

Nie Yan naturally understood his situation. He constantly changed locations and never stayed in one place for too long.

He still couldn't find the nearest village. He kept heading west until a system message sounded.

System: You have discovered the Fallen Canyon.

Seeing this place name, Nie Yan felt somewhat familiar. Before coming, he had read some information about the Demon Tribe and the Undead Empire, so he had a little impression of the Fallen Canyon. He immediately brought up the information. He received good news: after passing through the Fallen Canyon and advancing a few thousand yards, he would reach a small town called Verdin Cemetery Town.

There was a teleportation array there that could reach the nearest city!

With that in mind, Nie Yan began to head towards the Fallen Canyon. The Fallen Canyon was full of piled-up rubble, respawning some zombie miners, and occasionally encountering some elite-level zombie foremen. They were all level 50 monsters.

Level 50 monsters were a little slow for Nie Yan to kill. Soon, he successfully commanded four zombie miners to use the zombie miners to take on the zombie foremen. After three zombie miners were killed, he successfully commanded the first zombie foreman.

The zombie foreman was more than two yards tall, ugly, and covered in rotten flesh, wearing chain armor, and holding a huge iron hammer. He was lame and walked a little slower, but his combat power was extremely strong.

With the first zombie foreman, it was much easier. He had the zombie foreman tank, and then commanded one zombie foreman after another. In total, he found three zombie foremen, all of whom became Nie Yan's commanded creatures. With the addition of the Golden Earth Dragon, the speed of killing monsters immediately increased a lot.

Nie Yan killed monsters while heading to Cemetery Town.

At this moment, a crisp system prompt sounded.

System: You have obtained the title of Novice Demon Hunter.

The title had advanced! Nie Yan quickly looked at his title attributes.

Respect value for all human countries +50, attributes of all dark creatures within 20 yards -30%, with ultimate deterrent skill, ultimate deterrence skill, and holy hire.

Ultimate Deterrent: Can cause the target creature to enter a state of fear and stiffness for 5 seconds, distance 5 yards.

Ultimate Deterrence: When using this skill, nearby monsters can be dispelled, lasting 20 minutes, ineffective against monsters higher than 30 levels above itself.

Holy Hire: Summon a paladin mercenary through a teleportation channel. The mercenary's attributes are related to the player's basic attributes and requires payment of mercenary fees. Skill cast time is 30 seconds.

Nie Yan looked at the newly acquired skill, Holy Hire. There was a series of mercenaries that could be recruited. Level 1 mercenary Paladin Inez, attributes (60% of the player's own), hiring price ten gold coins per hour. Level 2 mercenary Paladin Redmayne, attributes (80% of the player's own), hiring price thirty gold coins per hour. Level 3 mercenary Clementina, attributes (100% of the player's own), hiring price fifty gold coins per hour. Level 4 mercenary Paladin Fern, attributes (120% of the player's own), hiring price one hundred gold coins per hour. Level 5 mercenary Paladin Crissy, attributes (150% of the player's own), hiring price three hundred gold coins per hour. Below were level 6 mercenaries, level 7 mercenaries, all the way up to level 16 mercenaries. The strongest mercenary cost tens of thousands of gold coins per hour, which ordinary players couldn't afford. These paladin mercenaries had the most basic blessing skills, which could bless players with various holy word effects, possessing healing spells, shield magic, and the most basic attack skills of corresponding levels. Level 16 mercenaries had an advanced sanctuary skill, while other level mercenaries did not. If a mercenary died, the player had to pay 200% of the recruitment fee.

The fact that Demon Hunter would reward such a skill surprised Nie Yan a little.

Without exception, all those who could possess the title of Demon Hunter were people who could stir up the situation. In addition to pursuing balance, Faith also gave generous rewards to truly strong people. This was because the Federation intended to use helmets to enhance human physique and select elites when it first launched Faith.

Elite-level players could obtain some extremely powerful skills. This was allowed. Not only Nie Yan, but other players also had the same opportunity to obtain similar skills. In his previous life, there were hundreds of players who obtained the title of Demon Hunter. However, they obtained the title of Demon Hunter after reaching level 100 or so. It was probably unique for Nie Yan to obtain the title of Demon Hunter at such a low level.

However, Nie Yan had to consider carefully if he wanted to recruit paladin mercenaries. The recruitment fee was indeed a bit expensive. Recruiting a mercenary under normal circumstances was not very cost-effective. It might be useful to use it in dangerous situations.

Deterrence and Tremor had both been strengthened. Overall, the rewards of the Demon Hunter title were still good.

Nie Yan remembered that with the title of Demon Hunter, he could open a hidden shop in Karlo City where he could buy things that players couldn't buy. Most of the things sold there were items targeting demon creatures, and many things were still good.

When he returned to Karlo City, he could go there to take a look. He didn't know how much profit an unknown mysterious store could bring.

Nie Yan led three zombie foremen and the Golden Earth Dragon through the Fallen Forest. In the dark jungle ahead, rays of magical fire lit up, like twinkling stars. It was quite far from here.

Nie Yan entered stealth mode and flew towards the distance. These people were blocking his way, and he had to investigate.

Under his control, the three zombie foremen and the Golden Earth Dragon followed behind him.

Nie Yan hid in the darkness and ran for nearly a minute before finally approaching them. It was noisy here. Through the magical fire, Nie Yan finally saw the situation clearly. There were at least sixty or seventy people here. They were teaming up to attack a giant zombie that was five yards tall. The giant zombie was fat, round, and hideous, holding a giant machete, constantly waving it to attack.

Nie Yan threw a reconnaissance spell at the giant zombie.

Zombie Overseer: Level 50 Lord, HP 173852320000.

What thick health!

It was a level 50 lord, no wonder there were so many people!

Nie Yan looked at the group of people. There were all kinds of professions. The Undead Warriors surrounded the zombie overseer, and the magic system behind them kept spraying magic. The whole team was in good order. This group of sixty-odd players was at least level 40 or higher, with the highest level being around 46 or 47. He wondered if the levels of the evil orderly players were at the same level as the benevolent orderly players. This team was likely an elite team from the evil orderly side. In the team, an undead mage was issuing orders, directing the group of players.

The undead mage was wearing a black robe with three gold medals on his chest, shining brightly under the magical light. He looked about twenty-five or six years old, with a fair face and blond hair. He seemed to have some aristocratic temperament and should have some foreign blood.

He was the leader of this team. Under his command, the whole team looked very coordinated. This guy had a lot of leadership talent.

Nie Yan threw a reconnaissance spell at the undead mage.

Dark: Level 47, Undead Mage.

Dark meant darkness. The undead mage was actually level 47. It was generally accepted that it was difficult to level up undead mages. Their leveling speed would greatly increase when they reached level 60 and learned Soul Split, allowing them to control multiple undead units. It was really not easy for this undead mage to reach level 47 at this time.

Nie Yan wandered around them. What should he do in this situation? Kill this group of players? For Nie Yan, it was not impossible!

They were dealing with a level 50 lord. If Nie Yan made a move, the team might be wiped out here. If the benevolent orderly and the evil orderly met in the wild, it was basically a matter of life and death!
