Chapter 1 Tang Yao Levels Up

Since Tang Yao bore the role of the main attacker, he was allocated more experience points. The experience given by a level 30 elite was quite generous, allowing him to level up directly.

To encourage players to challenge their limits, when players kill monsters above their level, the higher the monster's level, the more experience they gain for leveling up, almost doubling. But at the same time, the higher the monster's level, the more difficult the challenge. After all, few people use special methods to kill high-level monsters like Nie Yan. Therefore, even though Nie Yan didn't focus all his energy on leveling up, his level slowly caught up.

"Damn, awesome, I leveled up directly." Tang Yao muttered. He had never seen such a thrilling level up before, from 1% at level ten to 7% at level eleven. At this rate of leveling, even reaching the top of the level rankings wouldn't be difficult.

Nie Yan picked up the items dropped by the scale frog from the ground.

"I wonder what dropped." Nie Yan picked up the items dropped by the scale frog from the ground, a total of one lucky gem, twenty-six silver coins, and a rogue's leggings.

Shadow Wind Leggings (Gold): Level Requirement 30.

Attributes: Defense 133-135, Balance +12, Jump +15, Tenacity +23.

Weight: 12 pounds.

User Restriction: Rogue, can be used by any faction.

The Shadow Wind series is a set of level 30 gold equipment for rogues with relatively good attributes. A complete set consists of three pieces: leggings, gauntlets, and shoulder pads. If you collect them all, you can get an additional 30% speed bonus and a Shattering Blow skill. It's not needed yet, and maybe he can find better equipment by the time he reaches level 30, but it's always good to keep a set in reserve. If he can't find suitable equipment by then, the Shadow Wind series will be a decent choice.

"A rogue equipment dropped, and twenty-six silver coins." Nie Yan said, turning to Tang Yao.

"Huh? Oh, you take it. Give me any mage equipment you find, I don't want anything else." Tang Yao hadn't quite reacted yet.

At this moment, a system announcement rang out.

System Announcement: The Triumphant Empire is offering a reward for the wanted player Nie Yan. For every level the player Nie Yan drops, a reward of fifty silver coins can be claimed at the Triumphant Empire headquarters with a video of the kill.

Tang Yao was stunned when he saw this system announcement. He looked at Nie Yan and asked, "Why is the Triumphant Empire after you? Just because you killed three of their people?" Just who did Nie Yan kill to provoke the entire Triumphant Empire to put a bounty on his head.

Nie Yan didn't expect that the Triumphant Empire would spend so much to offer a reward for his head. He would have to be more careful in the future. He smiled at Tang Yao and said, "It's nothing, just a bounty. They have to be able to collect it. What's there to be afraid of being a rogue with a bounty?"

Nie Yan's expression was very relaxed, but Tang Yao frowned, remembering what Nie Yan had said to him earlier. Nie Yan had asked him if he wanted to build a guild, and had said that one person's strength was trash in front of a guild, and so on. It was clear that Nie Yan wasn't as relaxed as he seemed on the surface.

When a person truly goes up against a guild, the pressure is enormous.

"If you really end up fighting the Triumphant Empire guild, you're definitely going to suffer. Let's build a guild and fight them. It's better than being chased around in hiding." Tang Yao suddenly said firmly.

"Didn't you say you wanted to level up and pick up girls?" Nie Yan laughed. "Don't worry, the Triumphant Empire can't do anything to me right now."

"My brother's got a bounty from the Triumphant Empire, and I'm still leveling up and picking up girls? Am I even human?" Tang Yao spat. "Damn it, so impressive, putting a bounty on someone just for killing three people. Let's build a guild and screw them over. I'll go back and build a guild and recruit people!"

"Are you really decided?" Nie Yan asked.

"Isn't that obvious?" Tang Yao wasn't someone who liked power. He wanted to build a guild just to help Nie Yan.

Nie Yan was silent for a moment. Although building a guild was a bit difficult, wasn't everything started from scratch? Great buildings rise from the ground. It wouldn't hurt to start planning now. Nie Yan wasn't suitable to stand in the foreground, so Tang Yao could do it. Nie Yan could manipulate and lead from behind. Was there anything to fear about not creating a world?

After a fierce ideological struggle, Nie Yan's heart finally settled down. He put away the items and said to Tang Yao, "Let's go, next target."

"Can we still find elites?"

"This scale frog spawning area is huge. The entire two mountain areas are. There are still two places where elites spawn. If there are no elites, we can still go and kill sub-elites."

"Awesome, let's go." Tang Yao was thrilled by this elite scale frog. Hearing Nie Yan say there were more, he couldn't wait.

Nie Yan carefully considered that if he wanted to be influential among the players in order to prepare for building a guild, fame was very important. If you didn't have any fame, and people hadn't even heard of you, who would join your guild? And the most direct way to build fame was the level rankings. Killing his way to the top of the level rankings and taking down Po Tian would be a heavy blow to the Triumphant Empire. With prestige, recruiting players would be easier. Players were easily swayed, and if the trend formed, the number of people in the guild would snowball. No matter what, take the first step first.

The two walked towards the next elite scale frog spawn point.

As Nie Yan was walking, his voice communicator rang. It was Banxing de Huli (Half-Awake Fox).

"How did you get into a conflict with the Triumphant Empire?" Banxing de Huli asked. He was incredulous when he saw that Nie Yan was wanted by the Triumphant Empire. It was the first time he had ever seen a guild put a bounty on someone.

"I killed four people from the Triumphant Empire."

"Who?"

"It seems like they were all from their guild's elite team."

Banxing de Huli didn't reply for a long time. After a while, he said, "Damn, you're awesome. Being wanted server-wide isn't an easy thing. Two fists can't beat four hands. If you get surrounded, you're done for. They set the reward high, so there will definitely be a lot of people who want to collect the reward. If you run into any trouble, you can come to me. Although the Holy Roman Empire can't compare to the Triumphant Empire, at least we have tens of thousands of members."

"Thanks." Nie Yan thanked him, but he didn't think that Banxing de Huli would really break with the Triumphant Empire for him at a crucial moment. After all, Banxing de Huli had to consider the interests of the entire Holy Roman Empire. But having this intention was already very good.

After Nie Yan finished chatting with Banxing de Huli, he quickly received a lot of messages, from Yaoyao, Shenfa Wangxi (Godly Punisher of the Past), Cuican Daoguang (Brilliant Saber Light), and Daitou Dage Qizai (Big Boss Seven).

"Nie Yan, why are you wanted? Be careful when you go out in the future." This was from Yaoyao.

"Bro, you're wanted, you're famous now. Give me an autograph next time. I've been pissed at the Triumphant Empire for a long time. Remember to call me next time there's an event." This was from Shenfa Wangxi, who had always been at odds with the Triumphant Empire in his previous life.

"By the way, are you still forming a team? Form a team to go to a dungeon quickly. The level 10 dungeons are open." This was from Cuican Daoguang. He didn't take the Triumphant Empire seriously at all.

"Be careful when you go out. If there are any idiots, let us know." This was from Daitou Dage Qizai. Although Daitou Dage Qizai didn't start a guild, he was a professional player and had his own small circle. Although the Triumphant Empire was rich, they didn't give a damn about the Triumphant Empire.

After Nie Yan said goodbye to them, he occasionally contacted them. He regarded Shenfa Wangxi, Cuican Daoguang, Daitou Dage Qizai and others as teammates who could be developed in the future, so he was very attentive. This time, Nie Yan thought that their friendship with him wasn't deep enough, and that they would avoid him for fear of being implicated.

A person's personality determines whether these people are worth associating with. If Nie Yan was wanted by the Triumphant Empire and these people avoided him, then even the little bit of friendship they had would be gone. Nie Yan didn't bother associating with those who changed their minds at the slightest sign of trouble.

But this time, it proved that these people still had some loyalty.

Nie Yan replied to them, proving that he was still alive.

Soon, Nie Yan led Tang Yao to another elite scale frog spawn point to continue farming.

Under the cover of the Mist Dust, the scale frogs became ready-made targets. Tang Yao diligently released arcane magic.

"I need to find some AoE (area-of-effect) spells for you. Most of the elite mages in those guilds already have advanced magic." Nie Yan said, looking at Tang Yao, who was attacking the scale frogs. Tang Yao's strongest spell right now was only Meteor, without other AoE spells.

"I heard that some arcane mages in some guilds have some Arcane Secret magic. Where did they find that Arcane Secret magic? It seems very rare."

"Arcane Secret magic can be obtained by completing tasks in the Arcane Sanctuary. The task difficulty is still quite high, but you should have met the requirements now. Find one if you have time. Ordinary AoE range magic can't be bought on the market. If we have the opportunity, let's team up to go to a dungeon." Nie Yan said. In the end, most of the good things were concentrated in dungeons, so you have to go to the dungeons to get them.

After leveling up here and completing the tasks, it would be almost time to form a team and let Tang Yao apply to build a guild.

Tang Yao kept releasing arcane magic, and clusters of magic exploded on the scale frogs, and the scale frogs' health rapidly dropped. After more than thirty minutes, they fell to the ground again.

Tang Yao and Nie Yan both leveled up.

System: You have reached level 12. Do you want to enter the rankings?

No!

Nie Yan wouldn't enter the rankings now. But Tang Yao revealed his name and level and entered the tenth place on the rankings, which made him ecstatic.

"Are we going to continue leveling?" Tang Yao asked. Were they rushing too hard?

"If you're going to build a guild, keep leveling up. If you're not going to build one, then forget it." Nie Yan said. The more Tang Yao leveled up, the bigger his reputation would be, and the more players he could attract when building a guild.

"Of course I'm building a guild!" Tang Yao said firmly. "The Triumphant Empire? I'll play them to death. Even if I get played to death, I can still level up my level. I'm leveling up so fast, what am I afraid of? I'm just an unkillable cockroach!"
