Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Ye Ci had no choice but to travel to the Middle Continent. After sending Wang Jiangnan off, Ye Ci controlled Ol 'Six to fly towards the Middle Continent. Ol 'Six's flying speed was the same as the Gryphons in the game. It would take about two hours to reach the Middle Continent from the Eastern Continent. However, unlike the Gryphons, Ye Ci had to feed Ol' Six at all times. Even though Ye Ci's food was made of high grade ingredients, she had only cooked it by roasting it. It was too simple, and it lowered the quality of the food, making it difficult for Ol 'Six to feel full.
Ye Ci checked her Life Skills. Aside from Cooking, which had barely reached Advanced Level, the rest were all at Beginner Level. This was all thanks to her pets, which were all large creatures. Therefore, they required a lot of food. This gave her more opportunities to cook. Even if it was all barbecued meat, her cooking rank would still reach the Advanced rank. It was a pity that she did not learn any useful recipes. Otherwise, she would have been able to cook a lot of dishes that increased her stats.
Ye Ci fed Ol 'Six throughout the journey. Just as she was about to run out of food, Ye Ci finally arrived at the main entrance of Hero City.
Hero City was a city floating on a huge piece of land in the middle of the Middle Continent using magic. Players could only travel to the city via flying mounts or teleportation stones. However, teleportation shards that were unique to the Middle Continent were required to purchase. The shards were expensive and could only be sold at certain NPC shops. Ye Ci had bought a few shards the last time she visited Hero City. She planned to teleport directly from Champion City the next time she visited Hero City. However, with Ol 'Six by her side, the shards were no longer useful.
Ol 'Six stopped at the main entrance of Hero City. Skeletons and corpses littered the area. It seemed like another fierce battle had just taken place. However, it had turned into a war of words. Ye Ci saw two groups of people sitting on the ground, drinking and eating. From time to time, they would curse at each other. It seemed that the battle was over, and they were now in the stage of pestering each other.
However, when Ol 'Six landed, everyone's gaze turned towards Ye Ci. No, it should be said that they were looking at Ol' Six. If not for the Secret Cloak that Ye Ci had obtained from the Golden Age Assassin Group, these people would have burned countless holes in her body. Of course, even with the Secret Cloak, the burning gazes did not cool down at all. Since Ol 'Six's identity had been exposed on the official forums, there was no need for her to hide it any longer. Moreover, she was wearing the Secret Cloak, so no player would be able to see her name. She put away Ol' Six and pulled her cloak tighter. Then, she walked towards the main entrance of Hero City.
Ye Ci was a red-named player. Even if her level was high and her stats were good, she would still be killed by dozens of players. When Ye Ci walked past the two groups of people, she did not notice any signs of aggression. It seemed that the cloak was quite effective.
And so, Ye Ci walked into Hero City under the watchful eyes of the crowd.
Unlike players, NPCs could see Ye Ci's Sin Value. Even though Hero City was a neutral city and would not punish players with high Sin Values, it did not mean that the NPCs would tolerate red-named players. At the very least, the NPCs with a strong sense of justice would not treat red-named players well. They would not even give them any quests or services.
Just like now. Ye Ci walked through the city square with her head held high. The guards did not try to kill her, and they did not even look at her. However, when she walked into the warehouse in the East District, all the guards refused to serve her. In the end, Ye Ci had no choice but to walk towards the West District.
In Hero City, the responsibilities of each District were different. For example, the Arena and the Library would not be in the same District as the Monastery. NPCs with a conscience would not be in the same District as NPCs without a conscience. This was one of the main reasons why Ye Ci was chased to the West District.
With her Sin Value, she would not be welcomed in the East District. She could only go to the West District to trade with the NPCs underground.
As soon as she entered the western part of the city, she immediately felt a change in the atmosphere. Every NPC stared at her as if she were a prey. Moreover, unlike the eastern part of the city, the buildings in the western part of the city were all underground. As soon as she entered the western part of the city, she immediately discovered that the entire place had turned dark.
In the future, when the City Wars began, more and more players with high Sin Values would appear. They would not be welcomed in Hero City like the East District NPCs, so they could only come to the West District. However, as of now, the number of players with high Sin Values was still relatively low, so the popularity of the West District was relatively low.
Once the popularity of the game dropped, the income of the NPCs would decrease as well. When the income of the NPCs decreased, they would naturally treat every visiting player as prey. They would try to take as much as they could off the NPCs.
Ye Ci walked around the West District. After she had replenished her supplies, she went to the Advanced Cooking Master and learned a few Advanced Recipes. Then, she used the leftover materials she had on her to make a few Advanced Cooking Ingredients. She piled them in her bag to satisfy Ol 'Six's appetite. After she was done, Ye Ci planned to go to the Middle Continent's Level 75 to Level 80 leveling zone to level up. At the same time, she wanted to cleanse her Sin Value.
She walked out of the Advanced Cooking Master's area and headed towards the entrance of Hero City. However, before she could get far, she sensed that someone was following her. She slowed down her pace and carefully sensed her presence. As expected, there was a Thief following her. However, his Stealth was so high that even Ye Ci could not detect him clearly. Is it a player? Could there be a player with such high Stealth in the game?
Ye Ci began to feel a little excited. If it was an enemy, she would not be caught by the patrolling guards. After all, there were no patrolling guards in the West District. It was the darkest corner of Hero City.
The Thief's footsteps were erratic. When he turned a corner, he finally lost sight of Ye Ci. The Thief stood at the corner and looked around. There were tall buildings on both sides, and he stood in a narrow alley. However, he could not find any trace of the person who was following him …
Ye Ci crouched on the balcony of a building with her Stealth. She quietly watched as the Thief stood at the corner and looked around. She could not help but sneer.
The Thief was a player with a red name. He seemed to be from the Western or Northern Continent. However, she had never seen such a person among the top Thieves in the Western and Northern Continents. He was short, and she couldn't tell what race he was from. He should be either a Human or a short Elf. However, he was wearing a cloak, and his entire body was covered by it, so she couldn't see his exact condition. However, from his cautious manner and half-squatting posture, Ye Ci could tell that he was an experienced Thief.
Moreover, the Thief's specialty was none other than stalking and escaping. His equipment was most likely focused on Dexterity and Evasion. The Rogue's attack power was not high, but his movement skills were very good. Even someone like Ye Ci could not guarantee that she would be able to take him down in one go. Players who were quick at escaping were not easy to deal with.
Although this was what she thought, Ye Ci had already drawn her bow. The bowstring was pulled taut in her hand. Ye Ci could feel the immense force from the bowstring. She narrowed one eye, and the arrow on the bowstring locked onto the Thief.
While the Thief was still searching for Ye Ci, she released the arrow in her hand.
The moment Ye Ci released the arrow, the Thief immediately identified Ye Ci's direction. However, he did not have time to find Ye Ci. He immediately rolled away. No Thief would dare to take Gongzi You's arrow head-on. If they were stunned by her, it would be the same as having an affectionate hug with the Grim Reaper.
When the Thief rolled on the ground, he already knew that he was going to lose this time. Although he rarely PvP, it didn't mean that he didn't know how to PvP. On the contrary, it was precisely because he was very good at PvP that he had piled all his equipment on Agility and Evasion. This way, even in PvP, he would be able to drag out the opponent's death as much as possible. However, when he rolled away, he knew that he had fallen into Gongzi You's trap.
Gongzi You was not only good at long-range attacks, but she was also very good at close combat. What was even more shameless was that based on Gongzi You's past battles, she liked to cripple her opponents. She would often not stab them to death. Instead, she would cripple them so that they could not move.
Ah, who said that Gongzi You was cold and heartless? Actually, she also had her own wicked tastes.
Just as the Thief guessed, when he rolled away and stood up in a defensive stance, a cold dagger appeared out of nowhere and pressed against his neck. Then, a cold and distant voice rang out, "If you don't want to lose experience, you'd better behave yourself."
The Thief let out a sigh of relief. It seemed that he did not know Gongzi You well. At the very least, he would not be able to guess Gongzi You's next move. When fighting against a player like Ye Ci, if one could not predict the opponent's next move, then their PvP skills would be useless.
Since that was the case, the Thief gave up on resisting. He relaxed his muscles and smiled, "Gongzi You, don't panic. Our guild leader wants to see you."
Ye Ci frowned when she heard this, "Your guild leader?" She then laughed coldly, "Breeze?"
Unfortunately, Ye Ci guessed wrong this time. The Thief did not expect Ye Ci to guess Breeze's identity. He was stunned for a moment before he laughed, "It seems that Gongzi You has been bullied by Breeze. You always think of him."
Ye Ci raised an eyebrow. It doesn't seem like it's Breeze. Then who could it be? Even so, Ye Ci did not put down her dagger. Instead, she pressed the dagger against the Thief's neck and laughed, "Oh? It's not Breeze? If it's not Breeze, then I can't think of any guild leader who would send such a high stealth Thief to deal with me … "
"There's definitely no one who would deal with you. You know our boss well, but there's someone in our guild that you know even better. "The Thief chuckled.
"Who is it?" The more the Thief tried to keep Ye Ci in suspense, the more confused she became.
"Our boss is Absalom. As for someone more familiar …" Ye Ci let go of the Thief and sheathed her dagger before he could finish his sentence, "Why is Absalom looking for me?"
The Thief shrugged, "I don't know. But you'll know when you get there. Our boss is waiting for you."
"Where are we going?"
"Dazzling Gold Inn in the eastern district." Said the Rogue as he adjusted his cloak and lowered his hood. He flashed a smile at Ye Ci, revealing two rows of pearly white teeth. He had a very young face. Ye Ci looked at the guild emblem on his shoulder. He was indeed from Genesis. She nodded, indicating that she believed him.
"Lead the way."
Why is Absalom looking for me? Ye Ci thought for a moment. It was definitely Mithril. Other than that, she could not think of anything else to talk about with Absalom.
They soon arrived at Dazzling Gold Inn in the eastern district.
Dazzling Gold Inn was not the biggest or most famous inn in the eastern district. It was located in an inconspicuous corner of the eastern district, and its business was not as good. The food and wine provided in the inn were not as luxurious as those in the bigger inns, but the inn was warm and cozy.
As soon as Ye Ci entered the inn, she saw a Sorcerer in a luxurious robe sitting at a table in the corner. The Sorcerer stood up and smiled at her.
Who else could it be other than Absalom? Beside Absalom was a man she had never seen before. He was also wearing a robe, but he was not wearing any equipment. Ye Ci could not guess his occupation. There was no one else apart from the two of them.
Ye Ci subconsciously scanned her surroundings, but did not see a certain person. She let out a sigh of relief. Thank goodness that person was not around. However, for some reason, she felt a sense of emptiness in her heart. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me.
