Chapter 22 – Jinling City

After completing the transaction, Wu Shaochen hurried back to the Novice Village and handed the Magic Core to the Village Chief, saying, "Village Chief, this is the Magic Core of the Silver Wolf King that you wanted."

The Village Chief looked at the Magic Core Wu Shaochen handed over and said excitedly, "Great! With this, we can repair the Teleportation Array to the Main City. This Novice Village has been sealed off for too many years. Adventurer, thank you for your contribution to the Novice Village. Here is your reward."

"Ding, task completed, reward received: Title [Novice Village Hero]. Would you like to equip it?"

"Equip," Wu Shaochen said, then checked the Title Attributes.

[Novice Village Hero]: Obtained by completing the task to repair the Teleportation Array. Only one person per Novice Village can receive it. Attributes: Luck +10.

Huh, that's it? Luck is something you can't see or touch. It would be better to have something more practical, Wu Shaochen complained, but it's better than nothing. Besides, Luck is a rare attribute. So far, only the necklace he currently wears adds 3 points of Luck. Apart from affecting the drop rate from monsters, it should also relate to other probability-based things, making it a top-tier attribute.

At this moment, the Village Chief was fiddling with a circular pattern at the village entrance. A few minutes later, the pattern suddenly lit up with white light, and a happy smile appeared on the Village Chief's face.

Meanwhile, a system announcement echoed among all players in Novice Village 8365...

"System Announcement: Player Chen Feng has helped the Village Chief repair the Teleportation Array. Players in this Novice Village can directly find the Village Chief to teleport to the Main City upon reaching Level 10."

"Ah, do we need to repair the Teleportation Array to teleport to the Main City?"

"Probably, the system did mention it. But I wonder if it's troublesome."

"Who cares if it's troublesome or not? We already have a pro who helped us repair it. Once we reach Level 10, we can directly teleport to the Main City for a Job Transfer. Indeed, it's nice to enjoy the shade under a big tree."

"Well said!"

While everyone in Novice Village 8365 marveled at the convenience of having a pro among them, they didn't think much of it, assuming it wasn't too difficult. At this time, Su Muxue recalled asking Chen Feng why he hadn't gone to the Main City at Level 10. It seemed he had said he couldn't go because the Teleportation Array needed repair.

Curious, she couldn't help but send a message: "What does the task to repair the Teleportation Array involve?"

Theft is never good, try looking at bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

After a while, the reply came with just five words: "Kill the Silver Wolf King!"

...

It took Su Muxue a while to recover, thinking to herself, "So you killed the Silver Wolf King just to repair the Teleportation Array?"

Su Muxue didn't know how to describe her feelings. However, she realized that other Novice Villages might face the same situation. Without someone like Chen Feng, the Silver Wolf King would certainly block them for a long time. This was a huge benefit Chen Feng had secured for all of Novice Village 8365.

Thinking of this, Su Muxue's eyes lit up. She was currently equipped with two pieces of Black Iron Tier gear, probably the best in the entire Novice Village except for that anomaly Chen Feng. This advantage could bring her significant benefits.

"Uncle Liu, have everyone drop everything and focus on leveling up. We need to reach Level 10 as quickly as possible to be among the first to enter the Main City," Su Muxue instructed Uncle Liu.

"Understood, Young Miss. I'll notify them immediately," Uncle Liu replied without hesitation.

After repairing the Teleportation Array, the Village Chief returned to Wu Shaochen and said, "Adventurer, the Teleportation Array is repaired. Would you like to teleport to the Main City now?"

"Yes," Wu Shaochen replied.

"Then please step into the light circle and choose the Main City you wish to teleport to. As the hero of the Novice Village, this teleportation is free," the Village Chief said.

In the game, there are eight Level 2 Main Cities and four Level 1 Main Cities. The Novice Village can only teleport to Level 2 Main Cities. Players need to reach Level 100 to teleport from a Level 2 Main City to a Level 1 Main City.

After Wu Shaochen entered the light circle, the system prompt appeared:

"Please choose the city you wish to teleport to," displaying the eight Level 2 Main Cities: Qiushui City, Baize City, Julu City, Fengyong City, Huangsha City, Mobei City, Extreme Ice City, and Jinling City.

Wu Shaochen randomly chose Jinling City. It didn't matter where he went; the environment was the only difference. However, each city had its own characteristics. For example, Baize City and Qiushui City were coastal, Huangsha City and Mobei City were desert-adjacent, and Extreme Ice City was near glaciers. But there would be Teleportation Arrays between cities, so the choice didn't matter much.

A flash of light blurred his vision, and soon the surroundings became clear again. Wu Shaochen found himself in a massive city, surrounded by ancient-style buildings, interconnected roads, and towering city walls, making him feel as if he had traveled through time.

"Truly magnificent, incomparable to that shabby Novice Village," Wu Shaochen said, somewhat awestruck. He observed the scattered NPCs on the streets and the occasional patrolling NPC city guards, with not a single player in sight.

"Time to go for a Job Transfer," Wu Shaochen reminded himself of his purpose for coming to the Main City so urgently. He headed towards the city center, intending to ask an NPC for directions, but then he saw a massive building standing in the city center, labeled as the Profession Hall. It was obvious that this was the place for Job Transfers.

Upon entering the Profession Hall, he saw six profession instructors standing inside:

A beautiful Mage Instructor in a black magic robe, a Shield Guard Instructor with bulging muscles holding a shield, a Warrior Instructor with a sword handle and a greatsword, a beautiful Archer Instructor with a bow and arrows, an Assassin Instructor in tight leather armor with a covered face, and a beautiful Priest Instructor in a white robe.

After observing the six professions for a while, Wu Shaochen finally approached the Assassin Instructor. Unfortunately, his talent in Ranged Attack couldn't be triggered; otherwise, becoming an Archer would have been the best choice, allowing him to attack from a distance. Since he couldn't choose Archer, the remaining melee options were Warrior, Shield Guard, and Assassin. As a kiting-style player, Wu Shaochen naturally chose the Assassin, which had the highest Agility attribute.

"Hello, Instructor. I'd like to transfer to Assassin," Wu Shaochen politely said to the Assassin Instructor.

"Adventurer, you have excellent taste. The Assassin is the fastest and most explosive profession, the king of the shadows, and a source of fear for everyone..."

"Adventurer, don't listen to his nonsense. Assassins can only bully fragile Mages and Archers. If they dare to face us Warriors, I'll cut them down with two strikes. You should transfer to Warrior," the Warrior Instructor interrupted, displeased with the Assassin Instructor's boasting.

"Adventurer, perhaps you should transfer to Shield Guard. An Assassin's frail body wouldn't last two bites from those beasts. As a Shield Guard, just stand in front, and the beasts won't dare to bite you," the Shield Guard Instructor chimed in.

Seeing the other instructors also preparing to recruit him, Wu Shaochen quickly said, "Instructors, I'm sorry, but I've already decided to transfer to Assassin."

Hearing Wu Shaochen's decision, the other instructors could only sigh. It was rare for an adventurer to come by, so they talked a bit more than usual. Normally, they wouldn't interfere with a player's choice.
