In Chrono Era, Chen Tian’s figure also appeared on the second level. In Spring Day City, Chen Tian looked at the players bustling around and nodded with satisfaction.
When Chen Tian had forcibly logged out these players, he had also erased their memories. They knew nothing of what had happened before, so Chen Tian walked with peace of mind towards the next city.
Spring Day City was a city bathed in sunlight. The vast sun and dazzling light felt pleasant on the players’ skin. Moreover, no negative buffs appeared in this city; in other cities, players needed to wear protective gear.
But Chen Tian didn't need to. His Elemental God Body now rendered him immune to light element damage, so Chen Tian didn’t need to wear such game attire.
Walking through Spring Day City, Chen Tian observed the players around him and his ears picked up something.
He then headed towards a shop named: "San Hui!"
Chen Tian looked at the shop and the players, and said, "So this is where solo players gather! I heard them talking about a boss just now."
In the game Chrono Era, players could form teams, join guilds, and even create their own factions. However, some players preferred to go solo; these were known as solo players. Their actions were solitary, but the emergence of San Hui brought solo players together here.
Chen Tian looked at the shop owner, a player with the ID Chu Yun, level fifty-five. Chu Yun spoke, "I’ve found a world boss, but this boss is level seventy-five, a few levels above me. So, I want to team up with everyone to defeat it. As for the rewards, whoever gets them first gets them, how about it?"
Upon hearing about a world boss, the crowd became excited. World bosses were the pinnacle of bosses in this world, and the rewards were immense. Chen Tian also became interested. A world boss! He wondered how much experience and levels he would gain from defeating it. After all, Chen Tian’s fusion progress was determined by his in-game level. The higher his level, the faster his fusion progress.
Currently, it took Chen Tian three billion experience points to level up once. Even by grinding through dungeons, it would take several days to gain a level. However, Chen Tian’s attribute panel was now completely different from that of a player; it had transcended the player game panel.
Only Chen Tian knew what it looked like, as he had fused memories from two worlds. The game interface had changed to some extent, but Chen Tian still chose to fight using in-game methods.
Otherwise, it would be easy for people to mistake him for a monster.
Chen Tian stood among the crowd. He was determined to kill the world boss. All he needed now was for them to reveal its location.
But Chu Yun, that cunning player, didn’t reveal the boss’s location. Instead, he said, "Those who want to participate, gather here tomorrow, and I'll lead you there."
Chu Yun knew the players' mindset, so he had no intention of telling everyone where the boss was. Chen Tian frowned, then sensed something strange.
Seeing this, the players slowly left, but they all vowed to return tomorrow. Although there were over fifty of them now, who knew how many would show up tomorrow. However, the more people came, the better, which was Chu Yun's hope.
As for the news spreading, Chu Yun wasn't worried at all. The more it spread, the more convenient it would be for him.
Chen Tian sensed something strange. Just as he was about to turn, a hand landed on his shoulder. Chen Tian immediately grabbed the person’s hand with both of his own and then executed a shoulder throw, sending them flying.
Instantly, a figure embedded itself in the wall. Chen Tian said, "I don’t like being touched. So don’t touch me."
Then, the figure slowly moved away. Chen Tian detested hypocritical people and disdained making friends with them. True sincerity was the best between friends.
Even if the world changed, Chen Tian’s true nature would not. Chen Tian’s standards for judging people would not change.
Chen Tian could sense that the person wanted to cooperate with him for some benefit, which was why Chen Tian disliked such people.
Chen Tian then slowly arrived at a hotel and entered. At the counter stood a young NPC. Chen Tian asked, "A room for one day, how many Chrono Coins?"
"Adventurer, please present your Adventurer Level Proof?"
"?"
Chen Tian was stunned upon hearing this. What was Adventurer Level Proof?
"What is that?"
"Hahahaha! Is this kid an idiot? Or foolish? He actually doesn't know what Adventurer Level Proof is and still has the nerve to come here to stay."
"Kid, I advise you, this is not a place you can come to. Scram!"
A plainly dressed young man looked at Chen Tian coldly. Chen Tian paid him no mind. The young NPC at the front desk then said, "Adventurer Level Proof is the proof of an adventurer player. By completing quests, you can upgrade your proof and receive different rewards. Furthermore, the higher your level, the greater your adventurer privileges."
"May I ask, adventurer, do you have any other questions? This is the Adventurer Hotel, a hotel prepared for adventurers. You need to present your level proof to rent a room."
Chen Tian was stunned, then became troubled. He was a solitary individual. Where could he get adventurer proof? However, Chen Tian had a large backpack full of unknown items; who knew which one it was.
Chen Tian then asked, "What does adventurer proof look like? My backpack is too messy, I can't find it."
"Hahaha! Kid, here, it's this. See? This is the proof for Adventurer Level Eight, a white-bordered card, just like this."
A young man, spitting out his tea, placed a card on the table. Chen Tian looked at the card in front of him and was stunned, then said, "Found it, but mine doesn't have a white border."
"It's alright, honored adventurer. Level one proof is also acceptable for renting a room," the young NPC said slowly. Chen Tian then slowly opened his hand, and a nine-colored light appeared in the room, instantly enveloping the entire room.
The NPC youth, Liu Haotian, was shocked and said, "Apologies, honored adventurer, your level is too high. Please wait a moment, I need to verify it."
"Alright!"
When the nine-colored light dissipated, a nine-colored card appeared in everyone's eyes. A nine-colored card with a nine-colored border. In the center of the card, on a golden-red shield, a sword and a saber were crossed.
This was indeed an Adventurer Proof Card, but they had never seen a card like this before.
Everyone looked at the card with great anticipation, wanting to see what level it was.
The young NPC Liu Haotian took Chen Tian's card and swiped it across the desk's card slot. A screen then appeared from the slot, with a number that continued to increase.
Chen Tian watched the number on the screen, which had already reached fifty and was still rising.
The surrounding adventurer players were all so shocked they dared not speak, watching in silence. Then, the entire screen instantly displayed the number one hundred.
The young NPC Liu Haotian said, "Congratulations, adventurer player, on becoming the fifth max-level adventurer since the server opened. Furthermore, according to the backend information, you have not claimed any of your level rewards. Would you like to claim them now?"
"Claim them," Chen Tian said.
As soon as Chen Tian finished speaking, one hundred emails instantly appeared in his inbox. Chen Tian clicked "Claim All," and then a prompt appeared indicating that his backpack space was insufficient. Chen Tian directly closed the interface.
He had cleaned out his backpack once before, and it was still not enough. Chen Tian thought he would organize his backpack later.
The young NPC Liu Haotian returned Chen Tian's card and said, "Honored adventurer, your privileges are all recorded in the card. You can reside in the Emperor Suite on the topmost floor, free of charge. Moreover, once you select a room number, it is yours. No one can enter this room in any world without your card."
"Wishing you a pleasant stay!"
Chen Tian nodded and headed up the stairs.
As Chen Tian went up, the entire floor below erupted in chaos and uproar. Gods! What had they seen? The appearance of the fifth max-level proof card! They were witnesses!
"How long has this guy been playing the game? He must have accepted tens of thousands of quests to reach max level!"
"I don't know. All I know is that this is a big shot! I wouldn't dare provoke him."
"I checked his level earlier, and it was impossible to determine. His level is far beyond ours."
"But why is he here? Could he be heading towards that place?"
"Most likely. After all, that place opens only once every three years. It's a competition for the secret realm, and everyone wants a piece of the pie."
...
A young man slowly approached the young NPC Liu Haotian and whispered something into his ear. Then, the young NPC Liu Haotian said, "Which adventurer accepted no more than twenty quests from the server opening until the end of the game?"
The young man was stunned. Max level with no more than twenty quests? What kind of monster was this?
Then, the young man fell into thought, and suddenly his eyes lit up!
In adventurer mode, quests of different tiers offer different levels and experience gains. This meant the quests that person accepted were top-tier quests, which is why he leveled up so quickly. And he could be sure that this person was a newcomer. Even if his interface didn't show his level, he could confirm he was a newcomer.
This was because only newcomers would be in the first ten floors of the world. Other floors had adventurer guilds, and even if those areas were open, high-level players would only come on the day they opened. Except for special existences, they generally wouldn't appear here now.
"Since he's a newcomer, I won't be polite. Those good things in your backpack..."
