Legend of the Pinnacle of Online Games

Chapter 6 Information Release
Open your friend's information.

Cao Renjie had a lot of questions: "Captain, how did you get to level 3 so quickly?"

Friends can see each other's levels.

Lin Hanchuan: "I killed an ogre!"

Although Lin Hanchuan already knew that there were demons in the newbie village of Wangyue City, he couldn't say it outright. After all, the Ninth District had just opened, and without any clues, it would be absurd to simply shout that some of the villagers in the newbie village were actually demons in disguise.

That clearly shows there's something wrong with them.

It's impossible to discuss this in real life, even if it's not officially related to the "Descent" announcement.

Right after the server opened, there were a few players who did nothing but kill villagers.

With just a little inspection, the system can tell that something is definitely wrong.

But it's okay now.

The deed is done. In the starting village No. 56, there are indeed cannibals posing as villagers, and the system has given them all the hidden quests.

Lin Hanchuan told outsiders that it was perfectly normal.

Cao Renjie was indeed shocked: "Ogres? Holy crap! Where did these ogres come from in the newbie village?!"

"Aren't demon-type monsters only encountered after job advancement?"

"Captain, how did you encounter an ogre in the starting village?"

"Was it an accident?"

Shocked, Cao Renjie bombarded him with a series of questions.

This is truly outrageous.

The beginner village is meant to be a safe zone for players to familiarize themselves with the game. In order to provide players with a relatively peaceful gaming environment, even basic leaderboards that are slightly competitive, such as the level leaderboard, have not been enabled.

The villagers inside the village are kind and friendly, while the wild monsters outside the village are cute and weak.

Generally speaking, as long as players don't do anything reckless, they can level up to level 10 without dying in one go and enter the city to change jobs.

But now, demon-type monsters have appeared in the starting village, monsters that you might not even encounter in the early game even after changing jobs.

This is a huge problem!

Cao Renjie was a man of the world; a normal player would probably have completely lost it by now.

As Lin Hanchuan walked toward the pharmacy, he calmly replied, "It wasn't an accident. That cannibal didn't appear in the starting village in its true form. Instead, it was in a household, playing the role of a villager."

"I happened to run into him, and after killing him, I received a hidden quest. According to the quest description, there should be quite a few villagers in my No. 56 newbie village who are actually demons in disguise."

"Not only on my side, but I suspect that in the newbie village where you are, and in the newbie village where Long Xiaochen and Long Xiaoyue are, there are villagers who are playing the role of demons."

Lin Hanchuan's statements were all reasonable speculations.

Even if the system is monitoring his chat with Cao Renjie right now, there won't be any problem.

Cao Renjie: "Holy crap, this is outrageous!"

"Captain! If every starting village has a demon playing the role of a villager, wouldn't the start of District 9 be exactly like a werewolf game?"

Lin Hanchuan: "There are still differences."

In the previous life, there was no incident of demons slaughtering players in Wangyue City.

In the end, the players discovered the demon, and together they began to slaughter it.

In other words, those demons are not simply werewolves; they have been lying in wait, surely for something more important than killing.

Lin Hanchuan: "This is an opportunity for us, let's talk about it in the group."

Lin Hanchuan came to Wangyue City with the intention of targeting demons, hoping to use the hidden demon-type monsters to grow stronger quickly.

Now that the system tasks have been issued, Lin Hanchuan naturally has no more worries.

Arriving at a four-way intersection, Lin Hanchuan paused, looked at the chat panel, and then opened the "Grow Bigger and Stronger Chat Group" while still standing in place.

After posting screenshots of his chat history with Cao Renjie in the group, Lin Hanchuan then described in detail the process of killing the cannibal and obtaining the hidden quest.

While the group chat was completely silent, Lin Hanchuan had already given his summary.

Lin Hanchuan: "If nothing unexpected happens, we are the only ones in the entire Ninth District who know about the demons posing as villagers. However, the demons who infiltrated the newbie village should be quite strong. With your current combat power, you are simply not strong enough to deal with them." "I will give each of you a gold coin later. Play it safe and develop your character first. After you level up, you can use the method I told you to find the demons among the villagers."

"The first kill of a demon grants 200% experience. Even if you can't trigger the hidden quest, you should still try your best to get the first kill of a demon."

"In the early stages, the most important thing is to level up and enter Wangyue City as soon as possible to change your class. Oh! By the way, Long Xiaoyue, you are a support class and not good at combat, so just level up quietly and we'll talk about it when we get to Wangyue City."

Long Xiaoyue has already chosen the musician.

The musical instrument is a harmonica, which is randomly awarded by the system.

Skills are like sheet music.

Long Xiaoyue is currently familiarizing herself with the profession of musician.

Mentioning this in the group was just to let her know the situation, not to encourage a musician like her to take her harmonica and fight the devil.

At present, it's no different from an ordinary person rushing up and sliding on a tiger.

Long Xiaoyue was as obedient as ever: "Yes, Captain!"

However, Long Xiaochen was getting restless: "If there are demons to kill in the newbie village, why would I even leave the village!"

"Captain, I'm going to do two easy quests to gain some experience points, level up to level 2, and get another summoned pet. Then I'll go fight the demons!"

Cao Renjie: "Although I am a tank, I still have some damage output in the early game. Once I reach level 3, I will go and fight the demon."

Lin Hanchuan: "You just need to figure out the limits yourselves."

Cao Renjie and Long Xiaochen were both top players in the first server.

Six months ago, Lin Hanchuan took them to the Abyss for a month, where they killed countless demons.

Experienced veterans are very reliable, even if they have to start all over again.

Lin Hanchuan doesn't need to worry about them.

After everyone transferred 1 gold coin to them as initial working capital, Lin Hanchuan, who still had 2 gold coins left, looked up at the potion shop not far away and continued walking.

Lin Hanchuan was currently walking on the main road of the No. 56 Beginner Village, a clean bluestone road that ran north to south through the village and was the main passage for players to enter and leave the village, with many pedestrians coming and going.

However, the village's economic conditions are really not good. Even on the main road, you can still see many thatched houses standing on both sides.

Thatched huts are the residential areas for ordinary NPC residents in ordinary villages and do not sell goods. Therefore, some players take advantage of this advantageous terrain to set up stalls directly on the spot.

"We buy currency at high prices, 10 copper coins for one dollar. Backed by Tianyuan Trading Company, one of the four major trading companies in the Third District, we guarantee absolute integrity!"

"Don't miss out! Take a look at this dagger I just got from a quest. It's a level 2 black iron weapon with +3 quality, definitely a killer weapon for assassins in the early game!"

"Anyone selling potions? I'll buy them at a high price: 16 copper coins per bottle of basic red and blue potions."

"Space ring, space ring, a space ring with +1 Black Iron ore, is there any expert interested in buying it?"

The shouts and calls were all made by the players.

Players skilled in business have already set up stalls in the starting village.

However, since the server has just opened, they are only doing small-scale business.

Lin Hanchuan glanced at it once and then looked away, continuing to walk towards the pharmacy.

The pharmacy was quite large, with six storefronts in a row. Its red brick and green tile structure made it stand out from the other side of the street, which was filled with thatched huts.

Basic red and blue potions are displayed outside the store.

Red heals.

Blue turns back to blue.

Although the shop is large, and potions are an essential item for players when they go out, most players only have 50 copper coins given away by the system for free. Buying two bottles of basic red and blue potions placed outside is already a luxury, let alone going inside to browse.

At the entrance of the deserted shop, a young female shop assistant stood there idly playing with her fingers.

Lin Hanchuan's pause at the shop entrance caught her eye.

Basic Blue Potion: 20 Copper Coins
Basic Red Potion: 20 Copper Coins
Lin Hanchuan turned his gaze away from the basic red and blue potions displayed outside and looked inside the shop. Rows of glass cabinets held bottles of potions, and he casually inquired about them.

"Is there a better medicine?"
