The main city of the humans, the City of God, was located in the province of Gondor, in the middle of the Minas Tirith Plain. Although it was a plain city, because of the 30-meter-high walls on both sides and the 5-meter-wide moat surrounding it, the City of God was known as the city that never fell. The center of the main city was the Royal Palace District, which took up a quarter of the entire city. The southern part of the Royal Palace was the Noble District. The business district was concentrated in the western part of the city. In addition, there was the largest residential area in the city.
This was the main city of the humans in Heart of Glory. All the houses had red tiles and white walls. It was a city with the architectural style of medieval Europe.
When Li Huailin was first transported to this city, he was also shocked by it. Like many other players, he was dumbfounded by the surrounding scenery and could not come back to his senses for a long time.
"This game is really awesome." After a while, Li Huailin thought to himself.
On the seventh day, about half of the players had left the Newbie Village. Unlike the similar Instance Dungeons, all the players were transported to the same city. This time, Li Huailin finally understood what it meant to have many people.
For example, Li Huailin was now standing in the center of the city square. Because the business district was not far in front, the people coming and going could only be described as a stream of people. Occasionally, pairs of armored soldiers could be seen patrolling the city. It was lively and prosperous.
Li Huailin had just reached level 10 in the afternoon, after being tricked by Nethhal before he died. Although Li Huailin was a little depressed, he thought about it. As long as he did not complete this quest, it would be fine. The quest prompt only stated that Nether Hal's nephew had appeared in the North. There was no other information. Didn't that mean that this nephew should be very difficult to find? As long as he didn't go looking for him, he would have to deduct 10000 EXP and 1 gold.
After thinking it through, Li Huailin started to level up. Although he had defeated a Boss, the Boss did not die and he was not the one who accepted the quest, so he did not lose any EXP. He was still level 7, so he quickly died 30 times in the mine. Without any accidents, he reached level 10. Through the teleportation point in the newbie village, he arrived at the City of Blessed God.
Li Huailin's current character state was very awesome. Because he could not kill monsters or do quests, he had no source of equipment and money. He was still wearing the three-piece Newbie Cloth Set that would never drop. Even the poorest player in the game would have a set of White Equipment by the time they reached Level 10. They would also have at least 50 Silver Coins on them. Li Huailin's bag was completely empty. He only had 18 Silver Coins and 40 Coppers on him.
Of course, he didn't care at all. Why would he need equipment? After wearing it, it would increase his HP and Defense. If he died too slowly, it would affect his leveling.
"Right, class advancement first." Li Huailin suddenly discovered his goal. Right now, he was already at Level 10. If he didn't go and change his class, even if he died, he wouldn't receive any EXP. In order to level up, he had to change his class.
Originally, Li Huailin wanted to play as a Mage. Of course, he didn't think too much about it. It wasn't that he had a deep understanding of Mages. It was just that after watching the official trailer, he felt that it was cool to see a Mage throw fireballs and ice bombs. Now that 10% of his Intelligence had been deducted due to his Human Innate Talent, he immediately switched factions to play as a Warrior.
The details of Heart of Glory were done very well. They were afraid that the new players who had just been teleported would not be able to find a place to change their profession, so they wrote a huge road sign with the words: Profession Area. Moreover, it was on the right side of the central square. The signboard was so big that you could see it no matter where you walked.
The first guild in front of the class area was the Warrior's Guild. Warriors were one of the most popular classes in the game, so the number of people choosing them was probably the most out of the eight classes. As a result, the entrance to the Warrior Guild was extremely large. There were even two workers at the entrance to maintain traffic so that there wouldn't be a traffic jam.
As soon as Li Huailin walked through the door, he saw that he was standing in the middle of the Warrior's Guild's main hall. However, he was slightly puzzled. This was because when he entered the main hall, he discovered that half of the Warrior's Guild's main hall was a work area, and the other half was actually an indoor training ground. There were many wooden dummies in the training ground, and there were many players slashing at the dummies. Not only that, but there was also a group of players waiting in line to slash at the dummies.
"That's strange. It's the golden time of the server's launch, yet these guys aren't leveling up. Instead, they're here to kill dummies. Even if they want to test out their new skills, there's no need to be in such a hurry," Li Huailin thought.
Li Huailin couldn't care less about what they were thinking. He walked up to the Warrior Instructor and began his class advancement.
The warrior instructor was a tall but slender middle-aged man. His name was Alenster. He wore a set of red and silver armor. He didn't wear a helmet, and his red ponytail was tied behind his head.
As soon as Li Huailin approached, Alenster took the initiative to speak to Li Huailin, "Noob, I'm the Warrior Instructor Alenster. Did you come here to become a great Warrior?"
System Notification: Warrior Instructor Alenster wishes to change your class into a Warrior. Do you accept?
"Yes."
With a whoosh, a green light shone from Li Huailin's body.
System Notification: Warrior class advancement successful.
Li Huailin looked at his character status panel. He discovered that his HP hadn't changed at all. However, his Physical Attack Power had suddenly increased by a lot. After all, after becoming a physical class, the Strength attribute had increased his Attack Power by a lot. Moreover, he had put all his points into Strength …
Before his class advancement, Li Huailin's physical attack had been 57-73. Now, it had skyrocketed to 97-121.
"Noob, are you interested in learning the skills of a warrior?" Arleinster, who was sitting opposite him, said after looking at his own character attributes.
"Oh, right, I still need to learn skills." Li Huailin then remembered that he only had one skill that added 5 damage, Heavy Slash. Moreover, he hadn't used it even once, so his skill experience was still 0. However, he thought that if he used the skill, the experience would probably be deducted into the negatives.
The skills in "Heart of Glory" were divided into common skills and rare skills. Common skills were taught by class instructors. Generally speaking, after every 5 levels, players would come back to take a look and learn one or two skills. Rare skills were obtained from skill books obtained from monsters or from special NPCs. They were very precious. There was no limit to the number of skills in "Heart of Glory". As long as you had the energy, you could learn as many skills as you wanted.
"What skills are there?" Li Huailin naturally wanted to see what skills were available, so he asked.
Alenster waved his hand, and a virtual screen appeared in front of Li Huailin. On it were four skills that Li Huailin could learn.
Attack Skills:
Rend Level 1 (0/300): Increases attack by 10 and causes a bleeding effect on the target. For 12 seconds, the target loses 10 HP every second. The bleeding effect cannot be stacked. Instant Cast, MP Consumption: 10, Cooldown 6 seconds. Learning Fee: 1 Gold
Swipe Level 1 (0/500): Deals 80% of original attack power to 3 targets in front of the user. Instant Cast, MP Consumption: 15, Cooldown 10 seconds. Learning Fee: 1 Gold
Defense Skills:
Defense Stance (No Level): After activation, physical damage is reduced by 20%, but movement speed is reduced by 50%. Instant Cast, No Cooldown, No MP Consumption. Learning Fee: 1 Gold
Shield Level 1 (0/300): Immediately raises the shield to defend, reducing physical damage. The amount of damage reduced is related to the attributes of the shield. Requires the user to equip a shield. Instant Cast, MP Consumption: 5, Cooldown 3 seconds. Learning Fee: 1 Gold
"Damn!" Li Huailin wasn't shocked by the skill, but by the words "Learning Cost: 1 Gold Coin" behind the skill. He didn't think that learning skills would be so expensive. One skill cost 1 Gold. Wouldn't it cost 4 Gold to learn all of them? He only had 18 Silver in total.
"F * ck, it's so expensive. How many people can afford it?" Li Huailin yelled at Alenster.
"Oh, it seems that you don't have enough money to learn. What a poor noob." Arlienster frowned, a look of disdain on his face. He then pointed at the training ground behind him. "Since you're a member of the Warrior's Guild, I'll teach you. I'll tell you the trick to learning Rend. Practice 1000 times against a wooden target, and you'll be able to learn it."
"Damn …" Li Huailin finally understood why there were so many people queuing up to slash dummies. The game was afraid that many people couldn't afford the skills, so it provided another way to learn skills. However, slashing at dummies 1000 times … Rend had a cooldown of 6 seconds, which meant it would take at least 6000 seconds, a full 100 minutes. This job …
"Hey hey, pauper, hurry up and line up. Hurry up." Li Huailin had been chatting with the Warrior Instructor for a long time, and the players behind him were getting impatient.
"Sigh …" Li Huailin sighed softly. He raised his right hand and muttered to himself, "I don't want to be awesome anymore … But … Why do you guys have to force me …"
"Hey, what are you talking about …" The players behind him asked curiously.
"Pak!" Before the player could finish his sentence, Li Huailin slapped Arleinster's face.
System Notification: Because you attacked Arlienster, Arlienster's Favorability towards you increased by 20. Current Favorability: Friendly.
