Chapter 21 (2/2)

The players had a variety of game usernames, but only two of them had ‘World’ as the first word of their username. Besides, those players also had various styles of equipment.

These players clearly weren’t the World Guild’s elite players. However, World Battle Fanatic’s defensive equipment glowed with green light, while his weapons were blue. It was obvious that he did not lack money.

It was a miracle that World Battle Fanatic could go around and not get killed and robbed of his equipment even though his equipment’s special effects were activated all the time.

…

Although Liu Ming had only embarrassed World Battle Fanatic once in the novice village, the latter had been trying to settle scores with Liu Ming in the past few days.

Like what Qingfeng Changge said, World Battle Fanatic was an extremely petty person. Since he had now run into Liu Ming, World Battle Fanatic was naturally jealous and infuriated to see his enemy.

With a cold expression, World Battle Fanatic said, “Since it’s you, it will not be as simple as handing over that egg. In addition to handing over that egg, you’ll have to pay me 20 Gold Coins for the mental harm that you inflicted on me that day. Of course, you can also choose not to give them to me, but you’d better not leave the main city. Otherwise, don’t blame us for beating you up.”

After advancing to Level 10, which was beyond the novice levels, the penalty for dying became extremely harsh for players. When a player got killed by a monster, 20% of their current level’s total EXP would get reduced. They would also have to stay in a state of having all their stats weakened for an hour.

If another player killed them, they would be demoted by one level. On top of that, their various pieces of equipment and items would also drop from them according to the Kill Value.

God Domain’s Kill Value system was rather similar to that of other games. Kill Values were obtained from maliciously killing and attacking other players. Counterattacking would not increase one’s Kill Value.

A Kill Value of five points or less would cause one equipment to be dropped from the player, while one that was below ten points would result in two pieces of equipment dropping. Eventually, the players might lose all their equipment after dying once.

Once a player had a Kill Value of 50 points, they would be wanted by the main city’s city guards. Once they entered the main city, they would be arrested and thrown behind bars, which they would only be released from when their Kill Value had cleared.

One’s Kill Value decreased by one point every hour. In other words, one would have to wait at least three days—unable to do anything—once they were caught, deducting the time taken to eat or sleep.

However, World Battle Fanatic had plenty of underlings. If each of them took turns to kill Liu Ming once, they could incapacitate Liu Ming, and there would be no need to worry about being caught.

Liu Ming was rather infuriated with World Battle Fanatic’s unreasonable behavior. Although Liu Ming had initially yet to see what he had obtained, he did not value Blue equipment much now.

If World Battle Fanatic was willing to offer a reasonable price, Liu Ming would just sell it to him. However, he tried to snatch it from Liu Ming using trickery as soon as he went up to him. He even planned to rob Liu Ming.

Although Liu Ming had always had a good temper, he now had a sullen expression, and he retorted, “What if I refuse?”

As soon as Liu Ming finished speaking, World Battle Fanatic pointed at Liu Ming and barked, “Since you don’t know any better, don’t blame me for being harsh. Slash him!”

World Battle Fanatic sounded ashamed and exasperated. However, no matter what, a bunch of players attacked Liu Ming with their Skills after receiving orders from World Battle Fanatic.

But the wave of attacks only caused single-digit damage to Liu Ming. The damage inflicted by a few of them was even just 1 HP.

Their attacks only caused slight damage to Liu Ming.

The group of players was stunned to see that result as they stood still on the spot.

However, Liu Ming was not stunned. Liu Ming did not take the initiative to attack because he wanted to gain the right to counterattack.

Now that a bunch of the players’ names had been included in the list of malicious attackers, Liu Ming naturally would not let go of the chance to attack.

Liu Ming swung his sword forward ruthlessly.
