"Ding, you have completed the first kill of Amy the Pharmacist. A server-wide announcement is about to be made. Would you like to hide your name?"
"Hide!"
"Server-wide announcement: Congratulations to the player with a hidden name for completing the first kill of Amy the Pharmacist. Special announcement: Keep up the good work, everyone!"
"Server-wide announcement: Congratulations to the player with a hidden name for completing the first kill of Amy the Pharmacist. Special announcement: Keep up the good work, everyone!"
...
The server-wide announcement rang out, but it no longer caused much of a stir. With the recent surge in guilds completing first kills of bosses level ten and above, such announcements have become commonplace. However, when Futu Shield Mountain saw this announcement, his eyes lit up. This announcement featured only one name, indicating that the boss had been solo-killed. While there had been other solo kills recently, most players chose not to hide their names.
Of course, that alone wouldn't have caught his attention. What truly surprised him was that his friend list showed Blood Emperor's level jumping from one to five in an instant. There was only one explanation: Lin Tianhao had killed Amy the Pharmacist and gained a substantial amount of experience, which accounted for the sudden level-up and rewards. As for why Lin Tianhao chose to hide his name, it was because he was uncertain about the consequences of destroying the Novice Village. He wanted to remain anonymous, not out of fear of other players, but of the NPCs in Twilight of the Gods. These NPCs couldn't be judged by normal standards; who knew what kind of outrageous actions they might take if they found out he had destroyed the Novice Village.
"Ding, you have killed the tavern waiter. A server-wide announcement is about to be made. Would you like to hide your name?"
"Ding, you have killed the Novice Village hunter. A server-wide announcement is about to be made. Would you like to hide your name?"
"Ding, you have killed Granny Liu, the seamstress. A server-wide announcement is about to be made. Would you like to hide your name?"
...
"Hide."
"Server-wide announcement: Congratulations to the player with a hidden name for completing the first kill of the tavern waiter. Special announcement: Keep up the good work, everyone!"
...
Throughout the entire Twilight of the Gods Dragon Kingdom region, a series of server-wide announcements began to ring out. If initially, few people paid attention to Lin Tianhao's kill of Amy the Pharmacist, now the continuous stream of announcements caused an uproar across Twilight of the Gods.
"Whoa!!"
"What's going on? Is this some kind of god-like player? Is he slaughtering the Novice Village?"
"I almost didn't notice, but all the people in these announcements are NPCs from the Novice Village."
"Which god-like player is so awesome that they're bloodbath the Novice Village? This is something we never dared to imagine before!"
...
Futu Guild!
Futu Shield Mountain's hands were trembling with excitement. While others didn't know who this slaughterer of the Novice Village was, he did. Blood Emperor!! It had to be Blood Emperor!! Because now the Blood Emperor had returned to level ten. There was no way such a coincidence could happen. Moreover, it now made sense why Blood Emperor had been humiliated in the resurrection spring. Because it wasn't the players who were humiliating him in the spring, but the NPCs of the Novice Village. Although Futu Shield Mountain didn't know how Lin Tianhao had managed to slaughter these NPCs of the Novice Village, it didn't change his excitement.
...
Novice Village!
The village head watched as his subordinates fell one by one and roared in rage:
"Blood Emperor, are you mad? What on earth do you think you're doing!!"
Lin Tianhao's expression was cold. "Didn't I say before? Sending the village head to his death!!"
The village head's face turned a mix of green and purple with anger.
"Blood Emperor, you've gone too far."
"Today, even if it means we both perish, I won't let you succeed."
With that, the village head's aura became extremely violent. He didn't attack Lin Tianhao first. Instead, his attack was aimed at the resurrection altar.
Lin Tianhao's face changed.
"Not good!!"
If the village head destroyed the resurrection altar and then used a blue-quality talisman, all his efforts might be completely ruined.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
Lin Tianhao dared not be the slightest bit careless. His arrows kept flying out, all targeting the village head's weak points.
"Dominant Body!"
"Rage!"
The village head roared in anger, pushing his strength to the limit.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
Lin Tianhao struck again. Standing in the resurrection altar, he destroyed it first. The moment he destroyed the altar, an alarm sounded throughout Twilight of the Gods.
"Alert, alert, someone has maliciously destroyed the Novice Village resurrection altar. The resurrection altar has been destroyed. All adventurers can no longer enter the Novice Village and will be directly reborn in the main city. Adventurers already in the Novice Village will also be directly resurrected in the main city after death."
...
The alarm continued to broadcast, leaving the players of Twilight of the Gods bewildered.
"It was the battle just now, the one who hunted the NPCs of the Novice Village, he destroyed the resurrection altar."
"What on earth does he want to do? Destroying the resurrection altar means that level one players will be reborn in the main city."
"Whoa, that's bad for new players. Level one, and they're in the main city. The weakest monsters in the main city seem to be level ten. What are they supposed to grind on?"
...
The players of Twilight of the Gods were all in an uproar. Many cursed the person who destroyed the Novice Village resurrection altar, wishing misfortune upon his ancestors for generations.
After destroying the resurrection altar, Lin Tianhao began to furiously attack the village head. The village head was furious, wishing he could tear Lin Tianhao apart. Lin Tianhao, however, remained very calm. He had seen too many big scenes in his previous life. This level of chaos couldn't intimidate him.
The village head's storm of attacks landed on Lin Tianhao, knocking off a significant amount of his health. But at the same time, the village head's health was also plummeting. Because of the Purification Amulet, he couldn't kill Lin Tianhao to death. The result was that he was killed by Lin Tianhao's powerful output.
"Ding, you have killed the Novice Village village head. A server-wide announcement is about to be made. Would you like to hide your name?"
"Hide."
"Server-wide announcement: Congratulations to the player with a hidden name for completing the first kill of the Novice Village village head. Special announcement: Keep up the good work, everyone!"
"Server-wide announcement: Congratulations to the player with a hidden name for completing the first kill of the Novice Village village head. Special announcement: Keep up the good work, everyone!"
...
Another server-wide announcement. People began to curse Lin Tianhao in various ways. Especially the players in the Novice Village. They had to commit suicide to leave the Novice Village because only after death could they leave the Novice Village and be reborn in the main city.
"Ding, you have destroyed the Novice Village. Red-name points +1,000,000."
"Ding, you have completed the task of destroying the Novice Village. Task reward: +50 free attribute points, Blessing of the Gods +1."
Lin Tianhao's eyes widened at the sight of his red-name points. Killing a player resulted in one red-name point. His own... a million red-name points! The higher the red-name points, the greater the punishment upon death. Generally, one red-name point meant losing an extra level upon death and increasing the drop rate by 1% after death. Moreover, if red-name points exceeded ten, one could not enter the main city. Even if reborn in the main city, they would be immediately expelled. In other words, it was also impossible to change classes or accept quests in the main city.
"Damn it, how long am I going to have to clear these red-name points?"
