How Level Zero Devil Destroys Player Experience

However, the more sorrowful the post's description was, the more severe the loss was, and the more messages of silence were left under the post, the more the culprit behind the scenes laughed out loud, "Sure enough, these players are just lame."

Yes, this situation was exactly what I expected. I used the simple and crude method I thought of -

Run away directly.

Or it would be better to say that he ran away early, without giving the players any chance to react.

After all, although the Rhine Chamber of Commerce said it would leave tomorrow, no one stipulated that it must be open in the afternoon of the day before leaving, right?

The most important point here is the mechanism that I arranged in advance, which staggers the time of acquisition and repurchase. This not only avoids the situation where I will be robbed by players crazily, but also gives these guys a time difference that they are caught off guard.

The reason why he notified them of his departure two days in advance was naturally to allow this group of people to purchase more supplies for him and squeeze out the final value as much as possible.

What I didn't expect was that someone would buy up the fluorite lanterns in large quantities from merchants and studios, and even use the guild's assets as collateral.

After seeing one or two posts about several guilds being disbanded due to broken funding chains, which even included a relatively famous guild in the Constanta Empire in my memory, I couldn't help but be shocked.

A powerful guild was eliminated inexplicably, which was something I did not expect.

But I don't feel much guilt about this. After all, the Rhine Chamber of Commerce that I founded has been doing legitimate business from beginning to end, and the transaction of goods in it is a matter of mutual consent. How can you say that I am despicable and shameless? I can only blame these guys for being too greedy.

Even a certain fire demon agreed with this.

"That's right, the Demon King is just a dark person at heart."

Snapped.

"How do you talk like that?" I rubbed my palms and found that the other person's skull had tended to harden recently, and I could no longer break his defense.

"Am I not praising the Lord Demon?" Satasia held her head a little aggrieved. "Lord Demon, you see, as the most powerful figure in the dark camp, you must be described in a dark style, right? A dark mind is such a profound and charming description..."

So this idiot actually can't tell the difference between positive and negative meanings?

Looking at someone who was getting more and more excited as she spoke, she hesitated for a moment before loosening her clenched hands, deciding to settle the score with her later.

After all, I still have important things to do now——

The final unsealing of the glorious chapter.

In order to prevent that idiot Satasia from saying the wrong thing again, I asked her to go to the exchange first and then I came to the territory of the Lawrence family.

With the help of the special token, I easily met Mycenae, the patriarch of the Lawrence family, in the reception room.

Even though it had been almost seven days since we last met, Mycenae seemed very surprised to see me. "Nice to meet you, adventurer. Excuse me for asking, have you completed the test mission?"

"Yes, Mr. Mycenae." I nodded and handed over the glorious chapter in my backpack.

Mycenae took it in a daze, stroking the gilded patterns on it, with a very strange expression, "I didn't expect that you could really complete the test left by Master Enzo within the specified time."

I was stunned when I heard this, "Mr. Mycenae, what does this mean?"

"In fact, I never thought you would complete the test." Mycenae put down the Glorious Chapter and shook his head.

Through the other party's explanation, I almost understood that the task of love was designed to be impossible to complete.

Mycenae's original plan was that when I returned here after failing my mission, he would give me a long-term task to remove the seal on the Glorious Chapter in another way.

If you think about it carefully, this form seems to be in line with the logic of obtaining legendary and epic equipment in the era.

However, I didn't expect that with the power of the Demon King and the help of Satasia and the monastery team, I managed to complete this impossible task.

So how should I put it? Sometimes being too stubborn seems to be a good thing. After all, I don’t have much time to slowly explore the so-called long-term task.

Fortunately, the game also follows normal logic, even if you don’t expect there to be any subsequent plot arrangements.

"Being able to complete the test in such a dangerous environment as the Mihri Ruins has fully demonstrated your courage and dedication to the Holy Light. I think I should prepare some small gifts for such adventurers."

Hearing this, my eyes suddenly lit up. According to this statement, there is an additional reward. "Mr. Mycenae is too polite. As a citizen of the Holy Light, this is what I should do."

I have to say that after being in the light camp for a long time, he has become very skilled at making these empty claims.

Having said that, at least it sounds very useful to these natives, especially for the ancient Paladin family, which can be seen from the system message that pops up.

System: Mycenae's opinion of you increases from Neutral to Friendly.

"Although the Holy Light will not favor certain people, I think it will more or less give special care to adventurers like you who have a devout faith. But before that, let me take care of the important matters first."

Mycenae looked at me admiringly, then gently cut his finger with the silver knife handed to him by the waiter next to him.

As the blood from the fingertips dripped onto the paper, the four lines of mysterious text seemed to be sensitive, and the golden lines began to blend into it. At the moment when all the lines intertwined, it was as if a ripple broke through the restraints and rippled silently and invisibly.

It was like the sound of an ancient bell that dispersed the dust, and when I looked at the glorious chapter again, although it did not look much different from before, it gave me a feeling of being reborn.

“I never thought that one day, the Lawrence family would be able to see the glorious chapter of unsealing again.”

Mycenae stroked the new parchment with a nostalgic look, "But this is only the first stage of the Glorious Chapter. It will take a lot of effort to restore its full power. I really hope that I can see the complete Glorious Chapter by then."

"I will, Mr. Mycenae, leave it to me." At this juncture, it is still possible to say a few polite words.

Mycenae laughed and handed over the glorious chapter.

However, just as I was about to reach out to take it, something strange happened.

Chapter 32: There seems to be a strange title

However, just as I was about to take it, something strange happened.

The glorious chapter, which originally seemed normal, suddenly became scorching hot the moment it touched my fingers, and the golden words on it formed invisible ripples, as if rejecting my touch.

At the same time, a hint of black aura emanated from me, standing out particularly in the bright audience room.

Mycenae's expression suddenly changed. As the head of the Paladin family, he was naturally very sensitive to this kind of aura. He looked at me in doubt and said, "You are actually a demon! Call the guards!"

By the time I reacted, a sharp alarm had already sounded and I could hear chaotic footsteps in the corridor outside the room.

I don’t know if it’s because I’ve watched too many TV dramas, but at first I thought this was an excuse for the other party to kill and silence the witnesses so as to monopolize the glorious chapter. Later I realized the problem with my true identity.

"Oh no! Why were we exposed?" I panicked and almost subconsciously called out Kai and others.

Sensing that something was amiss from the serious atmosphere around them, the monastery team that had just appeared in the audience room immediately protected me in the center, and they were in a confrontational formation with the knights pouring in from the door.

The atmosphere seemed to be deadlocked for a moment. Kai and his companions did not know what was going on and did not dare to act rashly. The groups of knights on the opposite side did not know the identities of Kai and his companions and did not make any excessive moves.

Finally, it was Mycenae who broke the silence. He stepped out from the protection of the knights and looked at Kai and the others, revealing a thoughtful look. "The style of this armor... the emblem... are you from the Holy Light Monastery of the Orwyn Empire?"

"Yes, we are members of the monastery's novice group." Kai looked at me, nodded and explained at my gesture.

"Why are you here?"

"Because Lady Claire asked us to sign a contract with Her Highness to protect her safety."

Mycenae looked back and forth at Kai and me, as if he was thinking. His originally serious expression suddenly softened and he laughed, "It seems that this is a misunderstanding."

He clapped his hands and dispersed the knights around him. Even though these knights were confused, they still obeyed the order faithfully.

I finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the last knight leave, but I still didn't let down my guard.

"The Glorious Chapter possesses a powerful holy light force and is particularly sensitive to the breath of demons, so the abnormality just now made me make such a judgment." Seeing my appearance, Mycenae explained.

"But since you are protected by the knights of the Holy Light Monastery, you can't be the demons spurned by the Holy Light. I think it is because you, the adventurer, were contaminated by the devil's aura in the ruins of Mihri and were mistaken by the Glorious Chapter." As if he felt that what he said was very reasonable, Mycenae nodded.

However, he did not notice the strange expressions of a certain pink-haired creature and the monastery team opposite him, nor could he know that his previous guess was not only completely correct, but also that the suspect was actually the Demon King.

I couldn't help but feel fortunate that Alice's intervention didn't turn the people in the monastery into the dark camp, otherwise I would probably be dead by now.

But since the other party doesn't know my identity, I can be less nervous. "Ahem, I understand, Mr. Mycenae, but I think your approach is still a little ill-considered."

"I'm sorry to have frightened you, adventurer. I will compensate for my mistake. I also need to give you the reward for completing the test mission. Please wait here for a moment." Mycenae said apologetically, and stood up and left the audience room.

I blinked. I originally just wanted to complain, but the task reward was unexpectedly increased. This was something I had never thought of. Although I felt a little guilty, I couldn't refuse it no matter how hard I thought.

Mycenae was not away for long and soon returned to the audience room. The only difference from before was that the two waiters behind him had a few more boxes in their hands.

Is this a magic crystal?

Looking at one of the opened boxes that contained a dozen or so dazzling crystals, I recognized them immediately.

After using the magic crystal, it can summon a crystal with self-awareness, which is not much different from a pet, but can only be used by magic professions.

The crystal has a high mana value. When the owner's mana is reduced to a certain level, it will automatically replace the consumption. When it is upgraded to a high level, there will be additional effects, such as reducing skill cooldown, increasing magic damage, etc.

It is an excellent auxiliary item for magic professions. It can only be found on mechanical and elf monsters. In addition, its outrageous explosion rate made it a rare item in the previous life.

"Adventurer, as a reward for the mission, you can choose three magic crystals from here according to your needs."

Three extremely precious magic crystals from my previous life were given away directly. I was a little surprised by such generosity, but I soon put my thoughts aside and reached out to choose from the many crystals.

Magic crystals also have different properties, corresponding to different elements and types of magic professions. Although it does not mean that they cannot be used if the properties do not correspond, the same property effects can always produce better results.

So soon, I picked out three magic crystals, namely dark, fire and ice. I kept the dark crystal for myself, and the other two were selected considering the number of fire and ice mages. Even if they are not needed, I can still sell them at a good price.

Just when I was about to confirm it, I suddenly caught a glimpse of a colorless and transparent crystal in the corner of the box.

A magic crystal without attributes?

I froze.

This kind of magic crystal is different from other attributes. It has a lower drop rate and can best match the owner's attribute growth direction, and can even mutate into dual attributes or even triple attributes.

But the disadvantages are also obvious, that is, the cultivation cycle is longer and the probability of mutation is also low. If no mutation occurs, the effect is no different from that of ordinary magic crystals. Simply put, it is a gamble with cultivation time.

I looked at the one I had selected, then looked at the crystal lying quietly in the corner of the box. After hesitating for a moment, I replaced the attributeless magic crystal with the ice crystal in my hand.

"I have made my choice, Mr. Mycenae."

Seeing that I had made my selection, Mycenae nodded and handed me the other rewards, including several common skill books of the Holy Light system, and two special accessories, one that summons a range shield based on one's own health, and the other that can link to teammates to provide increased damage.

Anyway, these skills and equipment will not have much effect on me, so I thought about it and gave them all to Kai and the others.

In the era, the indigenous people can also use equipment and skill books, so many people in the previous life chose to train followers. If they have good growth, their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.

Kai and others were very touched by these gifts.

"We will treasure it for the rest of our lives, Your Highness."

"Hey, I'm not asking you to collect it!"

Originally I thought that this was all the reward for the mission, but I never expected that there was a surprise waiting for me. Yes, it was indeed a surprise.

Mycenae put on a serious expression and patted my shoulder. "Adventurer, since you have proven your courage, I hope you can inherit Master Enzo's will and dispel all darkness, and live up to his former glory."

System: Obtained the title [Primary Demon Hunter]

Demon Hunter: Light camp reputation +100, damage to dark creatures increased by 10%, all attributes of dark creatures reduced by 5%, title can be upgraded by killing a certain number of dark creatures.

"..."

Looking at the extra title above his head, a certain pink-haired guy blinked, and the monastery team looked at each other in bewilderment.

Chapter 33 A Friend Visits

Although I don’t know how to complain about this extra title, there is no doubt that the gain from this trip was worthwhile.

Even if we ignore the mission rewards given by Mycenae, the glorious chapter after unlocking it is enough.

Glorious Chapter [Seal]

Item description: This holy object was born in the ancient ruins of the Court of Amus. It seems to hide a powerful and unique power. In order to prevent it from being used by the forces of darkness, the Paladin Enzo set a seal. Only by unlocking all the seals can we get a glimpse of its true power.

Attributes: Holder's Intelligence +10%, Spirit +10%, Constitution +20%, Dark Resistance +20%, Willpower +15, Toughness +15

Additional Skills: Holy Stripping [You can strip any attribute, skill, or effect from equipment and replace it with a designated piece of equipment. This can be done a limited number of times, and the cooldown period is 1-5 natural days]

Use restrictions: None

Not to mention the attributes, the accompanying skill alone can completely make up for the hardships I have endured fighting skeletons in the Mihri ruins these days.

Being able to transfer the effects, attributes and even skills of equipment to individuals and other equipment, I can already foresee the powerful role that this relic will play in the later stages of the game.

After all, this is a new way to enhance equipment in addition to the soul enhancement and gem inlaying that comes with the game itself.

As soon as I got it, I experimented with the Death Reporter suit and another set of equipment, and found that the stripped equipment would be directly destroyed, and if the suit attributes and skills were selected, the entire suit would be consumed together.

Although the price is a bit high, in exchange, the additional attributes and skills of the silver-level Death Reporter suit are almost comparable to those of the ordinary gold suit. It is a good deal no matter how you look at it.

The cooling time is a little long. I don’t know if completing the subsequent test tasks will shorten the time. However, it is also unclear at what level the subsequent tests can be unlocked.

Forget it, I'll think about this later. I have something important to deal with now.

After yesterday's final wave of events, almost all the guilds gave their fluorite lanterns to the Rhine Chamber of Commerce, which is now in their hands.

The number of fluorite lanterns on the market now can be described as very few, and once they are put on the shelves, they will be quickly bought up by major guilds, even if the price is much higher than before, it seems that a seller's market has been formed.

But I know this is only temporary. With the efficiency of those big guilds, they will definitely get enough supplies within a week, so I have to sell the fluorite lanterns on hand as soon as possible.
