How Level Zero Devil Destroys Player Experience

Waited there for ten minutes.

He saw a figure running towards him through the bushes in the distance. The figure was dressed like a thief. If it weren't for the familiar name above his head, Ku Xingcha would probably have mistaken the other party for a player who was interested in his equipment and would have attacked first.

But in reality, this is the Ajin he mentioned, whose full name is Golden Boy.

He is one of the players arranged by the guild to connect with the red-named players and provide supplies.

Because the struggle is getting fiercer, all the major guilds have cultivated similar positions. Although his guild Xingsha is not as powerful as Baofeng, it also has a great reputation.

"Brother Kuxing, how have you been these days?"

The golden boy quickly ran to Ku Xing Cha and greeted her.

"Don't mention it, it's still the same as before."

Bitter apricot tea is helpless.

The golden boy chuckled and quickly initiated a transaction with him.

As before, he placed the necessary supplies on the trading bar - blood bottles, magic bottles, some magic scrolls for self-protection, and alchemical props.

But it is a little different from before.

Just when Ku Xingcha was about to click to confirm, the golden boy suddenly spoke to him mysteriously.

"Brother Kuxing, guess what good stuff I brought you this time."

Hearing this, Ku Xing Cha looked confused.

And the golden boy suddenly placed the last item on the trading bar.

When Ku Xing Cha saw this item, he was immediately surprised, "Is this... a blood source pass?"

Although he was leveling up and clearing red names alone in the wild, it didn't mean he was isolated from the world.

Ku Xingcha naturally knew what happened in the ancient ruins in the Reims area through posts on the forum, and also knew a thing or two about the key props.

Chapter 81 Pass and Contribution Points

"Yes, it's the Blood Pass. The president asked me to bring it."

The golden boy nodded.

Ku Xing Cha came back to her senses and said, "This thing is very expensive."

"It's very expensive, and it's not available on the market. It can only be bought on the black market, and it costs at least two or three hundred gold coins."

The golden boy explained, and he could see what Ku Xingcha was thinking. "But you don't have to worry, Ku Xingcha. This is what the president and his brothers made when they cleared the dungeon. Now we get about 500 of them every day."

"The president said that these should be reserved for the red-name brothers in his own guild. There happened to be a vacancy yesterday, so the team leader asked for one for you."

Although Xingsha can only be ranked at T2 level, there are at least 500 people. 500 cards a day may seem like a lot, but in fact, the competition is fierce now, and there are more than guild members with red names every day.

It was natural for Xingsha's president Xingsha Manxing to do this, or it could be said that all guilds did the same. After all, if any red-named player was killed, the loss of equipment and experience would mean more than two or three hundred gold coins to the guild.

Only some studios or small groups choose to sell it.

Ku Xing Cha hesitated for a moment, but finally accepted it.

Seeing that the other party accepted the deal, the golden boy chuckled, "Brother Kuxing, teleport over quickly. You can get rid of your red name as soon as possible so that you won't have any troubles. By the way, after you go in, go find a person called 'Smoking Gun'."

"Is he from the guild?"

"No, it was arranged by the team leader. This person has some connections inside and can help you get rid of the red name faster."

Ku Xing Cha nodded and took out the pass from her backpack. "Thanks, Jin, thank the captain for me as well."

With the golden boy waving goodbye.

Ku Xing Cha's body was wrapped in a white light and disappeared on the spot.

System prompt: You have arrived at the Bloodborne ruins.

When Ku Xingcha opened his eyes again, he found himself in a particularly peculiar city. There were many buildings of different styles. The only thing in common was the color red, which formed the main tone of everything.

Deep red, crimson, blood red.

Just like the players with red names walking in front of us.

Ku Xingcha was startled and subconsciously wanted to prepare for a fight, but was warned that the use of weapons was prohibited in the city. Only then did he realize that he was too sensitive because of his previous experience of hiding.

He breathed a sigh of relief and looked around.

The place where he was in was similar to the teleportation hall in the city. Players were constantly teleporting in from the side, and the white light was flashing non-stop. The only difference from ordinary cities was that these teleported players were all in red name status.

Although ordinary cities can also accommodate red-name players, red-name players still have to consider whether they will be targeted before entering those cities. After all, entering a city with a red name is too high-profile, and there is a chance that they will be killed when leaving the city.

However, here, there are only red-named players.

With such a peculiar scene, it is no wonder that this place is called the Red City, the City of Red Name - the Blood Source Ruins.

Ku Xing Cha gathered his thoughts, thought of what the Golden Boy said, and sent a friend request to the player named Smoking Gun. The other party quickly agreed and sent a message asking him to go to a tavern in the South City.

When leaving the teleportation hall, he noticed that there were still quite a few people gathered outside. When they saw the players coming out, they enthusiastically tried to attract them, saying that they could help people eliminate the red names faster.

Some of them came to sell things to him, but he refused with excuses.

"I didn't expect there would be such a business here. It feels just like the illegal taxi drivers near the train station."

Ku Xing Cha shook her head and headed towards the tavern of her destination.

On the way there, he had almost a clear view of the interior of the city called Blood Origin Ruins.

The streets are patrolled by fully armed troops, all at level 150.

The city was large, but most of the people who came and went were players, and apart from the army, there were few natives. Although there were all kinds of shops, restaurants, taverns, blacksmith shops, pharmacies, etc., there were even entertainment venues, such as casinos and amusement parks.

But you can also see many idle and unused buildings and stores.

This is quite different from the situation in major cities where almost all vacant venues are occupied by players.

And what's even weirder is that.

It was clearly daytime when he was teleported here, but this blood source ruins had already entered night.

Ku Xing Cha shook his head and threw away these messy thoughts. The most important thing now was to eliminate the red name first.

Following the instructions of the smoker, he spent half an hour and finally arrived at the tavern.

After entering, I found the "guide" arranged by the team leader for me in the corner.

"You are Ku Xing Cha, a member of the Desert, right?"

"Yes, Brother Smoking Gun."

"Just call me Lao Yan. I have a close relationship with Da Mo. There's no need to be so polite."

The smoker chuckled. He looked mature, giving people a steady and warm feeling. His profession was particularly that of a summoner.

"I have four more orders besides yours. They will be here soon. Would you like something to drink? The dark beer here tastes great."

"Ice water will do."

Ku Xing Cha shook her head. She was not surprised that the other party had another order.

It's impossible to make money from just one order in this kind of business, so the efficiency should be too low. Of course, it is definitely possible, but think about it, it must be a customized service, and the price is incredibly high.

Ku Xingcha was already very grateful to the team leader for making such an arrangement, so naturally she didn't care too much.

Within a few minutes, four figures arrived.

There were two boys and two girls. The two young and lovely girls had the same appearance and were obviously twins. From the names above their heads, it could be seen that they were also members of Ares' guild.

As expected of a big guild, even the priest was killed and turned into a red name.

Ku Xing Cha glanced at the quieter of the twins and marveled in her heart.

"You must be Brother Smoking Gun."

One of the players dressed as a shield warrior looked at the two of them and recognized who was the person they were looking for at a glance. After all, the appearance of the smoker was very consistent with his name.

"um, yes."

Smoking Gun nodded, confirmed the identities of several people, and asked Ku Xing Cha to introduce themselves to them.

Only then did Ku Xing Cha get to know these four people. The shield warrior was called Ye Xiaojiu, the other handsome shooter was called Ye Kong Chengjing, the older twin sister was called Ye Shuang and was an ice mage, and the younger sister was called Ye Xue and was a priest.

The four of them are relatives in reality. The twin sisters are Ye Kong Chengjing's biological sisters, and Ye Xiaojiu is the cousin of the three.

"Now that everyone is here, let's go."

After getting to know each other, Yanqiang also stood up and called the waiter to pay the bill.

But at this moment, Yekong Chengjing said first, "It's just a small amount of money, I'll pay for it."

"Are you sure? This is not a small amount of money."

There was a hint of amusement on the smoker's face.

"It's just small change to me."

Ye Kong Chengjing had an arrogant look on his face, and from the full set of luxurious dark gold equipment he was wearing, it could be seen that he had the confidence to do so.

But the next second he was dumbfounded.

"I'm sorry, sir, you don't have enough contribution points to pay."

"Wait, what are contribution points? Don't you accept gold coins?"

Chapter 82: Smoking Gun

In the end, it was the smoker who paid for the drinks.

At the same time, he told Ku Xingcha and the other "newbies" the basic rules here.

"Contribution points are the basic currency system of Bloodborne. Everything you buy here, including hotel accommodation and equipment repairs, is paid for with contribution points. Without contribution points, you can't move forward."

The smoker pointed at the many buildings nearby and said, "Although I can see that you are very rich, the gold coins outside are of little use here. Oh no, they are still of some use."

Hearing this, Ye Kong Chengjing, who was still a little depressed, suddenly brightened up.

Ku Xingcha and others nearby also cast curious glances.

"For example, buying those unused plots of land, but of course the prerequisite is that you have enough contribution points."

Now the night sky was clear and I had no more thoughts.

The contribution point requirement aside, the rent for these idle plots of land would probably cost at least a thousand gold coins. Even if he was rich, he couldn't spend it like that.

Ku Xingcha saw it and understood that Yan Gang might be deliberately suppressing the other party's arrogance. In this Red Famous City, most people are not ordinary and have to be more obedient.

"Brother Smoker, since contribution points are so important, how can we get them?"

The twin sister Ye Shuang asked curiously, her voice as pleasant as wind chimes.

"Don't worry, that's where I'm taking you. I'll tell you in detail when we get there. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask."

The smoker chuckled.

After Yanqiang's explanation, Kuxingcha and others finally had a general understanding of the overall picture and origin of the Blood Source Ruins.

This city is said to be located in the gap between worlds and was discovered by Clare, the leader of the Holy Light Monastery.

The Holy Light Monastery discovered that there is a special power around this city that can suppress the desire to kill, or in players' terms, it means clearing the red names.

And because of the power here, except for the red-named players, everyone else will be affected to a certain extent.

Therefore, access was only granted to red-named players.

At the same time, due to the impact, ordinary indigenous people are unable to move in. Currently, the city is mainly managed by the core members of the Holy Light Monastery and the monastery’s army.

This is also the reason why this city is large but seems a bit empty, because the total number of people stationed in the Blood Source Ruins by the monastery is no more than 10,000.

"During this period, those guilds discovered the business opportunities here and purchased land here to open stores. If you had come here two weeks ago, there would have been more unused buildings here."

Smoker explained.

"But since players pay contributions, then those who buy the shops should also receive contributions."

Ku Xing Cha was a little confused.

Smoking Gun naturally knew what he wanted to ask, "Contribution points can be exchanged for gold coins from specific indigenous people. These big guilds will not be confused about such things, but gold coins cannot be exchanged for contributions. You must be clear about this."

"Why do you have to come up with such a complicated mechanism?"
