Full health is the kill threshold, no matter if you're a god or a demon!

As for other quick money-making opportunities, there are more in some secondary cities.

Because the area is quite chaotic, you might occasionally encounter monster sieges or major battles between two factions, making it easy to profit from war. However, that requires capital or spending a long time accumulating military merits within a particular NPC faction...

Another option is to explore on your own and discover dungeons, secret realms, and instances, which will yield higher rewards.

Especially in the secret realms, the rewards are incredibly high!

But finding secret realms is purely based on luck! They're very difficult.

Therefore, he suggested that Liu Nian take on an escort or bodyguard mission, follow the mission to those small towns, and then look for opportunities in those small towns.

Hearing Kal'tsit's suggestions, Liu Nian gradually began to formulate a plan.

He wondered if he could rely on Xiao Lan's powerful exploration abilities to explore the underground space of the Netherworld.

Previously, near the town of Azure, he had discovered many secrets of underground spaces thanks to Xiao Lan's abilities.

This trick should work too.

However, there are definitely no secret realms or dungeons in the vicinity of Altavin, as this area has been explored countless times by players over the decades.

So Liu Nian made a decision: he planned to first take on a mission from the Bounty Hunter Guild that would allow him to leave the city, preferably to a relatively remote small town.

The Adventurers' Guild was located on the west side of the plaza, across from the Bounty Hunter's Guild. Liu Nian teleported over, pushed open the door, and went inside. It seemed even more lively than the Bounty Hunter's Guild.

The hall was packed with players of all races, all staring at a huge, illuminated screen on the wall in front of them, displaying a variety of quests.

[Escort the Caravan: Ovitan → Graystone Castle, Reward: 100 Crystal Coins, Requirement: Level 110 or above, 3 players]

[High-price material purchase: Long-term purchase of: Divine Flame Mushroom 50 Crystal Coins/plant; Radiant Ganoderma 120 Crystal Coins/plant; Demonized Meteorite Iron 300 Crystal Coins/gram...]

[Bounty: Assist in killing the Wild Wolf King. Reward: 200 Crystal Coins. Requires melee character level 120 or above]

[Bodyguard: Escort players to Ironforge Town. Reward: 300 Crystals per person. Requirements: Level 130 or above. Number of participants: 5. A 10 Crystal deposit is required upfront (held by the system). Mounts are not allowed. Currently, 3 people have signed up.]

……

Liu Nian's gaze fell on this bodyguard assignment.

There was a map of the entire Naraku Realm on the wall. Liu Nian looked at it for a while before discovering that Ironforge Town was northeast of Ovitarn. It didn't seem too far from the map, but in reality, even with a flying mount, it would take most of the day to get there.

As for why mounts are not allowed... Liu Nian couldn't figure it out for a moment.

However, the location described in the mission is quite remote, which aligns with Liu Nian's objective.

The area surrounding this small town is underdeveloped; there might be hidden realms or underground cities there.

Moreover, the task is simple, and although the reward is not high, it is a good opportunity to leave the city and activate the teleportation arrays along the way to Ironforge Town.

Liu Nian walked to the counter and pointed to the task on the light screen.

"I'd like to take this bodyguard job."

Behind the counter was a dwarf with a large beard and a cigar in his mouth. He glanced at Liu Nian and tapped a few times on the light screen.

"Escort mission, employer ID 'Barlow', destination Ironforge Town, currently 3 people, 2 more needed. Deposit 10 Crystal Coins, system-managed, reward and deposit refunded upon completion of the mission. Accept or not?"

"catch."

Liu Nian took out 10 crystal coins and handed them over.

The dwarf took the crystal coin and stuffed it into a device next to him. The number of people who had accepted the quest on the screen changed from 4 to 5.

"You will be notified of the meeting point once everyone has gathered. Remember not to be late, or your entire deposit will be forfeited!"

Liu Nian nodded, turned and left. He then went to the general merchandise store and spent 100 crystal coins to buy a top-tier map of the entire Naraku Realm.

In addition to marking the four main cities and 176 smaller cities, this also includes some well-known locations and BOSS spawn points, and even the territories of some powerful NPC forces.

Although 100 crystal coins are expensive, Liu Nian doesn't mind at all.

We must not skimp on spending on this kind of intelligence.

After wandering around for a while, Liu Nian received a notification from the Adventurers' Guild:

[The required number of participants for your mission has been gathered. Please proceed to coordinates ××× at the East Gate within 5 minutes.]

Liu Nian immediately walked to the nearest obelisk and teleported to the East Gate.

The city gates were wide open, revealing a gray, desolate wilderness outside.

Four people were already standing at the designated coordinates.

A tall and burly orc shield warrior [Level 139 map] carries a giant shield almost as tall as himself on his back.

A gaunt night elf assassin, [Level 140 Boyle], leaned against the wall with his arms crossed, half-hidden in the shadows, his face almost invisible.

A dwarf warrior, [Level 138 Chudri Greathammer], paced back and forth, muttering something.

There was also a human mage [Level 137, Yarlin], wearing a blue robe and holding a staff, who was reading a thick book.

All four players are between level 130 and 140.

When the four people saw Liu Nian walking over, their eyes all swept over him.

The orc warrior glanced at him, his brow furrowing slightly. "Level 175?"

This level is a bit high. Although a higher level means greater strength and easier task completion, when the level is significantly higher than the others in the team, it can easily cause unease among them.

The night elf didn't speak, but Liu Nian could feel his gaze linger on him for a few seconds before shifting away.

The dwarf was very enthusiastic, quickly stepping forward: "Hey human brother, are you also on a bodyguard assignment? Come, come, let's get acquainted. My name is Big Hammer!"

Liu Nian looked at the large axe in his hand and nodded: "Hello, Big Hammer."

"Wow, you're really high level!" The dwarf scratched his head. "With you here, this mission should be pretty easy. Let's just hope nothing goes wrong on the way."

The human mage looked up, adjusted his glasses, and said, "Easy? Not necessarily. I've heard that the employer, 'Barlow,' is notorious for causing trouble. Do you know why this quest specifically prohibits the use of mounts?"

"How so?"

Several people looked at him.

The mage lowered his voice: "It's said that this guy is a troublemaker, loves to pick up scraps, and always wants to join in the fun. Last time on an escort mission, he saw a fight on the way, and he insisted on going over to watch, which resulted in everyone getting killed..."

The orc warrior's expression changed: "Is that so?"

"And then what happened?"

"And then?" The mage shrugged. "Then he came back to life and issued a new escort mission. Then, on the way, he suddenly went to dig for some treasure. In the end, he didn't find any treasure, but he dug up a trap and was wiped out again! ... It is said that this escort mission has failed three times in a row."

dwarf:"……"

The orc spoke up: "So, what about this time?"

The monk sighed, "Let's pray he doesn't relapse."

Liu Nian: No wonder they don't allow the use of mounts... This kid is so curious.

"But this guy is pretty rich! With his level, he can issue so many missions in a row, and he spends thousands of crystal coins at a time..." Big Hammer said.

The dwarf's words made everyone else seem thoughtful.

At that moment, a shrill voice came from inside the city gate—

"Oh, everyone's here?!"
