Chapter 14: The First Level 1 Lord

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

With a population of 600,000, not to mention the new server, even after a month, there might not be many players who could take down this tribe.

Although they were only level two or level three monsters, they were underground. The monsters had all sorts of buffs and their attributes increased in all aspects. They were far from comparable to living above ground.

Especially the level five goblin catapults. They were simply a nightmare for players. These catapults threw explosives, and every time, they would explode. Their power was extremely terrifying. However, in front of Li Cheng, these goblins were just the target of the quest.

“Crush them immediately!” Li Cheng waved his hand and ordered.

In an instant, the sky was covered by a rain of arrows. Countless arrows shimmering with ice crystals fell from the sky, killing the goblins who had not reacted yet. The system notification began to sound frantically.

“Ding, dong, your troops have killed ten thousand level two goblins. Obtained three thousand experience points. Successfully triggered the ten thousand times amplification system. Your troops have obtained thirty million experience points. You’ve received thirty thousand experience points!

“Ding, dong...

“Ding, dong, your level has reached the upper limit, experience points have overflowed!

“Ding, dong, your Forst Marksmen have reached the upper limit of their level, experience points have overflowed!

“Ding, dong...”

...

“Ding, dong, player’s Heart of Massacre has obtained three billion slaughter points!

“Ding, dong, congratulations! Player’s Heart of Massacre has been successfully repaired in its first stage!”

Under the attacks of Li Cheng’s troops, the goblins fell. This was a one-sided massacre.

Even so, there were still goblins who charged at them fearlessly and tried to attack Li Cheng’s troops, but it was a pity.

The Goddess of Wind totem combined with the effect of Heart of Massacre made the Frost Marksmen’s combat strength extremely terrifying. Their slender little arms sent arrows flying like phantoms. Even the arrows seemed to connect together. These arrows mercilessly pierced through their heads, but Li Cheng did not care about the outcome of the battle. There was no doubt that they would crush the Goblin tribe. Instead, he checked the attributes of his Heart of Massacre.

[Heart of Massacre (Mythical-grade)(damaged)]

[Description: A powerful divine weapon that was born at the beginning of Heaven and earth. It was completely damaged in the Battle of the Gods. People who have tried to repair it for 10,000 years have failed.]

[Grade: Mythical (Level 3)]

[Level: 1]

[Type: hero equipment (only limited to Lords)]

[Location: Necklace]

[Effects:]

[1. All units deal 300% damage.]

[2. All units will receive slaughter points when they kill an enemy.]

[Repair Progress (0/20 billion)]

What was going on? The repair had not been completed yet? Li Cheng was slightly surprised.

The announcement earlier clearly stated that the repair was successful. Could it be that it was only one stage of the repair and there was a next stage of repair?

This was too exaggerated. If this was given to other players, just the first stage alone would require 10 billion slaughter points to repair. Yet, there was a second stage now? Not to mention, the requirements were a doubling of 20 billion points.

Li Cheng was truly shocked, but he was only a little shocked. He was not worried that he would not be able to repair it. After all, he had a 10,000-times amplification system. Even if he doubled it in the next stage, he would be able to repair it successfully.

After more than 10 minutes, the battle finally calmed down. The remaining goblins had already begun to flee. After all, no matter how fearless they were, absolute strength was useless in front of them.

Greed and cowardice were the synonyms of goblins. Lillian swung her sword forward.

A dark gray sword aura exploded and the remaining goblins fell. They were goblins with bombs in their hands and they were the goblins’ last line of defense—level 5 soldiers, goblin catapults.

Some of the goblin catapults were still unwilling to give up. They threw the bombs in their hands desperately before they died.

However, the damage of these bombs could not even break the defenses of the Frost Marksmen. Not long after, the system notification rang again.

“Ding, dong, one Territory Quest has been completed!

“Ding, dong, congratulations on becoming a level one Lord!

“World Announcement. Player Netherworld has successfully passed the Territory Quest and become the first level one Lord. Reward, ten thousand gold coins, and ten territory expansion coupons!”

“Ding, dong, you’ve triggered a ten thousand times increase. The reward is one million gold coins and one hundred thousand territory expansion coupons!

“Ding, dong, the second stage of Heart of Massacre has been repaired!

“Ding, dong, the third stage of Heart of Massacre has been repaired!]

“Ding, dong, you’ve killed a corresponding number of goblins. You’ve received the Bronze-grade title Goblin Slayer!

“Ding, dong, you’ve triggered a ten thousand times increase. You’ve obtained the Epic-grade title Evil Nemesis!

“Ding, dong, your hero, Shadow Princess Lillian, has leveled up. Currently, she’s level twenty!

“Ding, dong, your hero,Shadow Princess Lillian, has reached the maximum level. Please breakthrough as soon as possible and unlock the new level.”

This time, the players were much calmer. After all, they had been shocked three times and they were starting to feel a little numb after the fourth time.

[He even needs to announce such a thing? Since the Netherworld boss is so powerful, he must be the level 1 Lord.]

[Haha, I remember someone from the Light Guild saying that they wanted to become the first level 1 Lord. Where is he? He must be dumbfounded.]

[D*mn, I can’t even mine iron ore, and I can’t even level up my territory to a bottleneck. How did the Netherworld boss do it?]

[@Netherworld Boss, bring me along. This game’s really difficult. It’s so hard to kill Wild Monsters.]

[Yeah, @Netherworld Boss, I really want to be your underling. Bring me along.]

Compared to the indifference of the ordinary players, the professional players were truly shocked.

This time, they finally realized how big the gap between themselves and Netherworld was. Becoming a level one Lord meant that their territory had already reached level 10.

They could not even gather enough resources to level up to level 10. They were certain that, at least for today, no one would be able to become a level two Lord.

This gap...was too big.

Hearing the sound of a system notification ringing in his ears, Li Cheng calmly accepted it. In less than half an hour, he had slaughtered hundreds of thousands of goblins. His experience points had long since exploded and he had reached a bottleneck.

Lillian was the same. Every 20 levels of a hero was a bottleneck. If one wanted to break through, they could only use the hero breakthrough stone. Some high-level heroes even needed some special materials or to complete special missions. As for the hero breakthrough stone, there were not many sources for it. Most of them came from the shops of the major forces, such as the Church of light, which sold the breakthrough stones.

“It seems that after the mission’s over, I need to go to the main city to buy some breakthrough stones....”
