Legend of the Pinnacle of Online Games

Chapter 32 The Crying Little Girl
Each starting village has a public chat channel, which players can access through their personal panel to chat and make friends with other players in the same village.

However, at this stage, everyone is busy farming and leveling up, and few people are chatting.

Until just now.

After the village chief issued the task.

The usually quiet chat channel in the newbie village #56 suddenly exploded.

"Who in our newbie village is so powerful? They're killing NPCs so badly that even the village chief got fed up and had to issue an S-rank quest."

"First there was Arakawa White Owl, who became the first person in District 9 to rob the potion shop in the newbie village. Then came Black Night Legend Brainless, who became the first person in District 9 to get a red name for killing NPCs. Now another ruthless person has appeared who killed 30 NPCs in the newbie village without any red name notification from the system. Our No. 56 newbie village is really too interesting."

Anyone want to do this quest together?

"What the hell! A player who can kill thirty NPCs silently must be a big shot from some region. Can you even beat him?"

"We have strength in numbers. There are thousands of players in the entire newbie village. How can we not defeat one person?"

"Tsk! It's been a long time since I've seen such an idealistic new player. Do you really think that the pros became pros for no reason? That they have no one behind them? Brother, some things you have to go with the flow."

The number of people online at the same time jumped from dozens to hundreds or thousands in an instant.

It's not that they have nothing better to do, but rather that the village chief issuing an S-level quest to all players in the village is a first in the entire Ninth District.

More importantly, the player who killed 30 NPCs in a row without being notified by the system that he was a real pro.

"Brother Huang, someone's talking about the S-rank mission in the village's public chat channel." As a key supporting character who killed 30 villagers, and one of the protagonists of this S-rank mission, Little Wooden Man keenly infiltrated the public chat channel of No. 56 Newbie Village.

"Hmm!" Lin Hanchuan nodded calmly, his mind unmoved.

For him, appearing on TV channels like this was commonplace.

During the first district, especially in the last two months when he was being hunted down by the Immortal Dynasty, he dominated the first district's big screen for two consecutive months. There were also posts about him on the Arrival Forum every day. At that time, there were even official personnel who wanted to do an album interview with him.

Chat channel in Beginner Village #56.

Lin Hanchuan had never opened it.

"Was I mentioned?" It's different for Dark Legend. Although he is an elite player in the third region, he has never enjoyed such a glorious moment in his life.

There is a sense of novelty in it.

"Yes!" the little wooden man answered affirmatively.

"You even mentioned me?" Dark Legend slightly raised his chest. "Looks like I'm destined to leave my mark on history."

Dark Legend excitedly entered the public chat channel, but the moment he saw the content, his smile froze.

"Could it be that weirdo from Underworld? He's afraid to fight monsters, so he's only killing NPCs!"

“I could believe him if he killed one or two, but to kill 30 in a row? I simply don’t believe it…”

……

Underworld was watching haters chat.

The little wooden figure looked up and asked Lin Hanchuan, "Brother Huang, what if someone sees us killing the villagers disguised as demons and then attacks us?"

Most of the players in the chat group were just there for the fun of it.

However, some hotheads couldn't resist the allure of the S-rank mission and were already contacting each other to form teams to patrol the village and find the person who killed the "NPC".

"Kill them!" Lin Hanchuan, who was walking in front, said without turning his head, "Kill one if they come, kill two if they come, kill a hundred if they come."

Lin Hanchuan has never backed down when it comes to PK (player versus player) duels.

He gets into trouble, but he's even less afraid of trouble.

Furthermore, the official game developers have implemented excellent player protection mechanisms, granting players unlimited self-defense rights. When another player attacks you first, your attack power increases by 50% when you retaliate, and even if you kill them, you won't be flagged as a criminal.

When a player insults you to your face, you can directly attack and kill them without incurring any red name penalty.

“Okay, Brother Huang!” The little wooden man nodded naturally. He was just seeking Lin Hanchuan’s opinion to determine what he should do next.

Dark Legend shifted his gaze from his personal panel to Lin Hanchuan, his expression extremely serious. "Brother Huang, let me handle this!"

"no problem!"

Lin Hanchuan nodded.

With his current combat strength, Dark Legend can easily be ranked in the top five in starting village #56, and he is fully capable of handling attacks from other players.

……

……

boom! !

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully killing..."

As soon as the system message notification sounded, Lin Hanchuan opened the attribute panel and put the 1 point of free attribute he had just obtained into Intelligence.

"That's the ninth one!"

At this moment, more than twenty minutes have passed since the village chief issued the S-level mission.

Perhaps the allure of the S-rank mission was too great, as the number of players wandering around the village has increased significantly, and even the usually deserted alleyways are now filled with players.

Lin Hanchuan, who had always maintained a stable mindset, was not affected by this and continued to pursue his goal—to improve his combat strength as much as possible before killing the village chief.

However, the Dark Legends group didn't share Lin Hanchuan's mindset.

Aside from faithfully standing by Lin Hanchuan's side while he fought the demon, ready to respond to any emergencies, they spent the rest of their time observing other players' activities and exchanging messages on the public chat channel of Newbie Village No. 56.

"More and more players in the chat group are saying they want to participate in the S-rank mission!"

"They used to say they didn't dare offend the big shots and would just go with the flow, but now they're saying my fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens."

"Someone's starting to form a group again!"

When they learned that they might be at odds with all the players in the starting village, Dark Legends were clearly a little too excited.

And at this time.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!"

A sobbing sound reached Lin Hanchuan's ears.

Looking in the direction of the sound, it was coming from the house to the right. The door was not closed, and several players were coming out of it.

"That NPC who keeps crying definitely has a quest, but I don't know how to trigger it."

"She kept crying and crying, and wouldn't say anything no matter what I asked."

"Don't worry about that. Once we find the guy who killed the NPC and complete an S-rank mission, wouldn't that be even more awesome!"

When they were talking loudly, they noticed Lin Hanchuan, looked up at him, and then fell silent.

Lin Hanchuan brushed past them.

Upon arriving at the door, Lin Hanchuan followed the sound and saw a little girl crying with her head down.

The little girl seemed to sense something, and suddenly looked up. The moment she saw Lin Hanchuan, her crying stopped abruptly.
