Chapter 119 The Saintess's Extra Reward (Three-in-One)

The church of the Crescent Moon God in Wangyue City is very large.

Following the saint, we walked along the winding road, past house after house.

Since Cao Renjie reminded me.

The "Making the Chat Group Bigger and Stronger" group has also become lively.

Cao Renjie: "I never expected the contrast between the demon playing the saintess to be so strong!"

Long Xiaochen: "A-Jie, I really have to praise you this time. You made the most of the benefits the official team gave you."

Lin Hanchuan: "Don't keep staring at her. Demons have very strong senses. If she develops a dislike for you, things will get complicated!"

There are some things that can't be said aloud, so we can only say them by typing them in the group chat.

The saintess, played by the demon, not only performs the functions of a normal NPC, but also has her own joys and sorrows. Just like the village chief and priest in the starting village, if you anger her and provoke her aversion, it will not be so easy for her to do things in the church in the future.

Cao Renjie: "Okay, okay, I'm not watching anymore."

Long Xiaochen: "I'll take one last look!"

Cao Renjie kept his eyes straight ahead.

Long Xiaochen indeed glanced at it once and then looked away.

But the messages in the group never stopped.

Cao Renjie: "It's better to be a demon. You walk so seductively that even if you're dressed as a saint, you can't hide it."

Long Xiaochen: "Is it possible that she did this on purpose to show us?"

Cao Renjie: "It's unlikely!"

Lin Hanchuan: "Regardless of whether it's possible or not, let's put this idea out of our minds for now. The most important thing right now is to complete the team formation as soon as possible."

Seeing the lively atmosphere in the group, Mo Lingyun also chimed in.

Mo Lingyun: "What's going on? You've arrived at the church?"

Lin Hanchuan: "We're currently following the Saintess's team formation process. Lao Mo, get ready, go and cancel the 'Heavenly Path Team' team ID in a bit!"

The squad ID and player ID are the same and are universal across all nine regions; duplicates are not allowed.

Therefore, in addition to the gold farming and resource gathering studios that make money in the game, there is also an ID studio, also known as account resellers, which is also very profitable.

When the server opens, they will arrange for people to register various rare IDs. After the server opens, they will not be idle. They will keep an eye on players who have rare IDs or well-known players.

They will buy the ID as long as the other party is willing to provide it.

If someone cancels their account, they will immediately register it.

For example, Lin Hanchuan's ID in Zone 1 is "Night Owl".

Although the ID "Night Owl" doesn't sound very impressive, it's extremely well-known.

They had already been targeted by scalpers.

Especially during the two months when he was being hunted down by the Immortal Dynasty, Lin Hanchuan not only attracted the attention of many players, but also the attention of countless account resellers.

Lin Hanchuan estimated that the account was registered by someone else the moment it was cancelled.

Old Mo's side must have taken action as well, but they couldn't compete with the thousands of scalpers and failed to snatch the Night Owl account.

Fortunately, Lin Hanchuan didn't care about such things.

The strong make their IDs famous, while the weak are made famous by their IDs.

Moreover, the ID "Arakawa White Owl" is quite good.

Mo Lingyun: "I'm ready!"

……

……

Lin Hanchuan and the others were led into the prayer room by the saintess.

The room was small, with a statue of the crescent moon goddess, symbolizing purity and new life, at the top, and below it was an altar with various fruits on it.

The saintess stood beneath the statue, before the altar, looking at Lin Hanchuan with gentle eyes and a cool voice, saying, "Foreigner from afar! Before the great Crescent God, form your own expedition team!"

Lin Hanchuan immediately sent a message to Mo Lingyun in the group chat.

Lin Hanchuan: "@Mo Lingyun, it's starting! Hurry up and click!"

The account of the Heavenly Path Team is also being watched. If it is cancelled too early, it may be snatched up by scalpers from other regions.

Therefore, the only option is to time it.

The moment Mo Lingyun cancelled her registration, Lin Hanchuan completed the registration.

Mo Lingyun: "Okay!"

As soon as Lao Mo replied to the message, he went offline.

Lin Hanchuan took out the squad token and began to form a squad. The system notification sound immediately rang in his mind.

"Ding! Please note, do you wish to use squad command?"

"Yes!"

As soon as Lin Hanchuan finished speaking, a beam of cyan light flowed from the squad token in his hand and landed in his body.

The process will now begin.

System: "Ding! Congratulations! Under the supervision of the Holy Maiden of the New Moon Church, the squad order has been successfully used!"

System: "Would you like to view the team's relevant rights and benefits?"

"jump over!"

System: "Ding! Please enter your team name. Friendly reminder: Choose your team ID carefully, as it cannot be changed once registration is successful!"

A panel floated in front of Lin Hanchuan.

Squad ID:_______ (To be entered)

Lin Hanchuan typed "Heavenly Way" into the input field.

System: "Ding! This ID has already been registered!"

Lin Hanchuan continued typing.

At this point in time, Lao Mo should not have cancelled the Heavenly Path Team yet, but he still needs to continue inputting information.

We need to ensure that the moment Lao Mo cancels his account, we can immediately connect with him on the other end.

System: "Ding! This ID has already been registered!"

Lin Hanchuan continued typing.

System: "Ding! This ID has already been registered!"

Lin Hanchuan never gave up.

The system did not give up responding.

"Ding……"

"Ding……"

"Ding……"

After more than a dozen system prompts.

Lin Hanchuan finally received the message that his registration was successful.

System: "Ding! Congratulations on successfully registering the 'Heavenly Path' team ID!"

"Congratulations on becoming the captain of the 'Heavenly Path Squad'! You can now invite players to join your squad!"

"Note 1: There can be no more than ten players in a team."

Note 2: Team members must be at least level 10.

Note 3: Players in other teams cannot be invited.

"Ding! The Heavenly Dao Team's internal communication channel has been opened!"

"Ding! The Heavenly Dao Squad's internal warehouse has been activated!"

"Ding! The internal combat power ranking of the Heavenly Dao Squad members has been activated!"

……

After more than a dozen system notification sounds.

A new team project has appeared on Lin Hanchuan's personal panel.

Squad under his name: Heavenly Path Squad (Click to view details)

Immediately afterwards, a district-wide announcement was issued.

System: "Congratulations! You have successfully become the first player in the Ninth District to create a team. You have received the following rewards: 2 gold coins, 1000 reputation points, and a colored team ID."

"A district-wide announcement will be made next!"

next moment.

The entire Ninth District.

All online players received a notification from Lin Hanchuan about forming a team.

"Ding! Attention all players in District 9! Congratulations to player 'Arakawa White Owl' from Wangyue City for successfully creating the team 'Heavenly Path', becoming the first player in this district to create a team!"

"Ding! Attention all players in District 9, congratulations..."

The three consecutive announcements made the online players in the Ninth District realize the sense of crisis.

"A team has been formed so early, three days ahead of the record in Zone 1 and more than a day ahead of Zone 8. Is Arakawa Shirakatsu even human? He got the first clear of two dungeons and then formed another team in the blink of an eye!"

"I'm truly impressed by this district-wide announcement!"

"Brothers, the pressure is building! Hurry up! District Nine has entered a period of insane competition!"

"Holy crap, Arakawa White Owl is too amazing. First, there was the announcement that he was the first in the entire region to complete an S-rank mission, and now he's the first to form a team."

"Damn it, I just want to go back to my old region and live off my savings!"

"We're doomed! Arakawa White Owl is already so far ahead of us right from the start, how are we supposed to compete!"

"The Heavenly Path Squad! Does that mean they're acting on behalf of Heaven? Could it be that Arakawa White Owl really is Night Owl?!"

"Haha, some people in Zone 1 are about to get restless."

Public channels in major cities of the Ninth District were all talking about Lin Hanchuan forming a team.

This has put a lot of pressure on people.

Especially the top players, who were previously distributed in different regions and had never actually competed against each other, were unwilling to admit defeat to each other and all wanted to prove themselves when they started on the same footing in the ninth region.

One of the key criteria is who can be the first to form a team.

But it's fine now.

While everyone else was busy killing monsters and grinding dungeons to level up, Arakawa White Owl quietly formed a team.

They were directly ahead of them by a stage.

This is indeed a significant blow to top players.

However, some people have also raised questions about the progress of the Ninth District game.

"The game progress in the Ninth District is indeed much faster than in other districts. If we add some experience events and increase the drop rate of monsters to increase the resources available to players, it won't be too late for the Ninth District to catch up with the other districts!"

"Many people were worried that since the Ninth District opened so late, would players in the Ninth District be completely outmatched by players in other districts after the districts were merged? I felt from the beginning that they were just overthinking it. The Descent server would never allow such a thing to happen. Moreover, for the official planners, increasing the combat power of all players in a district is just a matter of moving the mouse and modifying a few lines of code."

"The progress has indeed accelerated a lot, but I wonder when the launch events will be released?"

"The eighth server was launched when the number of registered users reached 100 million. The ninth server has already surpassed 100 million users, so there should be other event requirements, but it shouldn't be too late. Let's wait for the official announcement!"

"I hope the activities in District 9 will be as generous as possible, so that even newbies like us can benefit."

During the event, the official team will hold various events for all players in different regions from time to time, with generous rewards. Sometimes, they will even offer unique rare items as prizes.

The activities are diverse, including monster-slaying activities, hide-and-seek activities, boss-hunting activities, and more.

As the last major region officially announced by the developers, everyone is really looking forward to the launch events for the Ninth Region.

There has been no official announcement yet.

Lin Hanchuan's side.

My few close friends also sent their congratulations immediately.

Tianya Luren: "Congratulations on establishing the first team in the Ninth District, achieving the record for the fastest team formation in the history of the nine districts!"

Boundless Falling Leaves: "Congratulations, boss! You're awesome!"

...The people sending the messages were mostly players I met in the [Goblin Cave] dungeon.

Lin Hanchuan glanced at it but didn't reply.

It's not that they're aloof; it's just that once you respond, they'll immediately start a deeper conversation with you.

Faceless Passerby: "Brother Xiao, you're amazing! You've formed a team so quickly, congratulations! I'll be entering the city soon too, will we have time to chat then?"

Except for the faceless passerby.

The Tianhai Chamber of Commerce behind this guy seems to have joined the Soul Emperor's organization, and they are extremely generous. They directly offered 30,000 gold coins for a Black Wizard job change scroll that was originally worth just over 10,000 gold coins.

Of that, 20,000 was purely to do someone a favor.

Lin Hanchuan liked this way of doing things very much.

Lin Hanchuan immediately replied.

Arakawa White Owl: "I'm at the church right now. If you get into the city within half an hour, I can wait for you at Resurrection Square and give you the Dark Wizard Job Change Scroll. If you want to talk about something, you can tell me now what you want to talk about?"

Faceless Passerby: "Cooperation! Business cooperation."

"Okay! We'll talk about it later!" Lin Hanchuan didn't refuse outright. He had previously been completely indifferent to business.

After all, he only had one small team before.

But now, in addition to his squad, he also has a guild and a large amount of land in Moonrise City that will soon be under his control.

With so much land in hand, Lin Hanchuan is bound to engage in commercial activities. The tavern is just the first step; in the future, there will be real estate, factories, and so on.

Lin Hanchuan is not a professional in this field.

Old Mo is a professional when it comes to managing a guild, but when it comes to business, he's barely a semi-professional.

On the contrary, business is the main business of the Faceless Passerby. Lin Hanchuan also wondered if he could talk to the Faceless Passerby and get some business talent over from him.

After it's decided.

Lin Hanchuan entered the Heavenly Dao Squad management page, and because the squad name was exposed, hundreds of application records appeared instantly.

"Hey bro, can I have a spot? I'm in the top 300 of the tank leaderboard in server 2!"

"Brother, can I play support? I can play support for you offline!"

"Master, can I have a teammate slot for 10,000 gold coins?"

……

Lin Hanchuan glanced at these applications, rejected them with a single click, and then set a ban on all applications before inviting Cao Renjie and the others to join the team.

"Ding! Please note that player 'Arakawa White Owl' has invited you to join the Heavenly Path Squad!"

Cao Renjie, Long Xiaochen, and Long Xiaoyue successively agreed.

"Ding! Congratulations to player 'Bloodhand Demon Slayer' for joining the Heavenly Path Squad!"

"Ding! Congratulations to player 'Kanglong Youhui' for joining the Heavenly Path Squad!"

"Ding! Congratulations to player 'Moonlight Chill' for joining the Heavenly Path Squad!"

Lin Hanchuan followed up by sending invitations to Black Night Legend, Little Wooden Man, and Heavy Armor Reborn.

The three of them have good potential. With proper skills and equipment, they have a chance to become top players. More importantly, they are obedient, unlike other players who have so much rebellious spirit.

It's not bad to do tasks with teammates.

However, the invitation had just been sent.

I was rejected!
Then came the message from Underworld.

Legend of the Night: "Brother Huang, I'm flattered, truly flattered! I never imagined I'd have the chance to join your team in my lifetime. Thank you so much, thank you so much!"

"However, I know my own limitations very well. Joining the team would only be a burden to you, Boss!"

When Underworld sent the message, his hands were shaking.

The moment the announcement of Lin Hanchuan's establishment of the Heavenly Dao Team was announced, he immediately opened his friend list and carefully wrote several hundred words of blessing in the chat box with Lin Hanchuan.

On the third check.

Suddenly, I received an unexpected invitation to join the Heavenly Dao Squad.

Underworld hesitated for a moment, but still declined.

Joining the Heavenly Path Squad is something everyone wants, including him.

But he was well aware of his own strength; he was far inferior to the original players of the Night Owl Squad around Lin Hanchuan. Joining the squad would only be a hindrance, and he wouldn't be of any help at all.

It's okay if you drag someone down once or twice.

Over time, let alone whether Arakawa White Owl would kick him out of the team, even Dark Legend himself would feel ashamed and voluntarily leave the team, and then the two would drift further and further apart.

Being able to cling to Arakawa Haku's coattails is already quite good.

Once the guild is established in the future, we will have a platform to showcase our abilities.

Both Heavy Armor and Little Head immediately looked up at Night Legend.

"I refused!" Dark Legend knew what they were thinking and sighed, "I'm not strong enough. If I join, I'll just be dragging Huang Ge down."

The little wooden man and the heavily armored man also sighed, grateful for Lin Hanchuan's invitation but also hating themselves for being too weak, and subsequently declined Lin Hanchuan's invitation one after another.

Little Wooden Man: "Brother Huang, I'm sorry, I don't want to hold you back in the future!"

Heavy Armor Reborn: "Brother Huang, I'm too weak! I'm not worthy of joining the Heavenly Dao Squad."

Looking at the messages from Little Wooden Man and Heavy Armor Reborn, following the message from Underworld, Lin Hanchuan shook his head with a wry smile.

Other players who didn't know each other were trying every means to join the Heavenly Path Squad.

Underworld, on the other hand, simply refused.

However, Lin Hanchuan felt relieved.

At least it proves that I didn't misjudge him.

Since he was rejected, Lin Hanchuan did not extend another invitation.

Arakawa Haku: "Alright! If I get the next squad token, I'll give it to you! Also, stay confident in the future. I invited you to join the Heavenly Path Squad not because of our friendship, but because I think you are quite strong."

A message was sent to three people in a group.

After turning off the panel.

Lin Hanchuan noticed that the Holy Maiden was looking at him.

After Lin Hanchuan turned his gaze over, the Holy Maiden spoke, "Congratulations, stranger! You have successfully established a squad!"

"Thank you!!" Lin Hanchuan nodded and turned to leave.

The role of the saintess is merely to witness the formation of the team, which is equivalent to obtaining official recognition.

The team is now formed.

Beaten again and again.

I had no choice but to leave.

"Wait a minute!" the saintess suddenly called out, trying to stop them.

"Hmm?" Lin Hanchuan turned around in confusion. "Is there something you need?"

Lin Hanchuan couldn't recall what missions he could trigger from the Holy Maiden after forming the team.

"Since you are the first foreigner to form a squad under my witness, I will bestow upon you some rewards," the saintess said earnestly. "A scroll, a weapon, or fifty gold coins—which do you prefer?"

Lin Hanchuan looked at her.

The system voice suddenly sounded.

"Ding! Congratulations, you have received a reward from the Saintess!"

[Contract Scroll], [Weapon], [50 Gold Coins]

Lin Hanchuan stared at the options on the panel, somewhat bewildered. After the team was formed, the Holy Maiden would give extra rewards.

He hadn't heard of this before!

And what the heck is 50 gold coins?!
Are you that stingy?

It's like the saint personally paying out of her own pocket for the reward.

Lin Hanchuan may be short of money, but he certainly doesn't need those 50 gold coins.

Skipping the gold coin option, he glanced at the weapons and contract scrolls and asked, "Do you have an Equality Contract Scroll?"

To bring Star into the dungeon as an auxiliary tool to help kill monsters.

A contract is necessary.

Forget about the slave contract; if I die, Xingchen will die with me.

Lin Hanchuan only considers equal contracts.

Scrolls are currently very difficult to obtain from wild monsters, and the slave contract on Cao Renjie is a reward for completing a quest.

After meeting Xingchen, Lin Hanchuan planned to look for Equality Contract Scrolls in some weapon shops, rune shops, and general stores in Wangyue City.

Since the saintess has given the option of the contract scroll.

Lin Hanchuan also asked about it.

"The Scroll of Equality Contract?" The saintess did not answer Lin Hanchuan's question immediately, but instead looked down at the spatial ring on her right hand, as if she was searching for something.

The more Lin Hanchuan looked at it, the more he felt that this was a reward, a personal reward from the Holy Maiden.

This demon is quite interesting.

After a while.

The Holy Maiden then looked at Lin Hanchuan, took out a scroll, and replied, "Yes!"

"Thank you, I'll take that one!" Lin Hanchuan nodded immediately.

The saintess then handed it over, casually saying, "Establish a contract, perhaps a slave contract would be better."

Lin Hanchuan accepted the scroll of the Equal Contract and replied with a smile, "I want to give her more choices!"

[The Scroll of Equal Contracts]

Quality: Five-star superior

You can form a contract with a non-player creature that is no more than 50 levels higher than yourself. After the contract is formed, both parties are equal. If you are in danger, the creature you have contracted with has the right to choose whether to help or not.

Can be used once: 1 time

Friendly reminder: You cannot force a contractual relationship with the other party. When making a contract, you must wait for the other party to agree within one minute.

The information was quickly scanned.

It is indeed a scroll of equal contract.

"Thank you, Holy Maiden!"

Lin Hanchuan took the saintess's extra reward and left.

The saintess stood there, watching Lin Hanchuan's departing figure, her mind still replaying his answer—giving her more choices.

"Yes! Well said!"

"Much better than them!"

The saint turned around again to look back at the crescent moon goddess statue behind her.

A faint white light slowly faded from the statue, revealing the true face hidden beneath.

It is a statue of a demon god.

Two heads, one crimson and the other dark blue, both with their eyes closed, their faces were ferocious.

When the saint saw a large black horn slowly extending from her cheekbone, she immediately knelt on the ground, her eyes filled with piety.

Immediately afterwards, the demon god statue's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and a pair of captivating gazes fell upon the saintess's soul.

This caused the saintess's mind to tense up suddenly.

Then a voice resounded in her heart.

"The Crescent Moon Goddess is dead. Find her legacy as soon as possible!"

"Maurice is currently severely wounded in the Gray Forest. Go and kill them, and delay the outside world's knowledge of our invasion of Moongazing City as long as possible!"

The saintess quickly and respectfully replied, "Yes!"

"You have performed well recently, and your people will receive a blessing from the Demon God's Temple!"

The saintess quickly said gratefully, "Thank you for your grace!"
