Chen Mo was just worried about not having enough levels. Now that the monsters were attacking the city, with Ceci Hailow around, killing monsters and snatching points was a piece of cake. It was like having someone send him a pillow whenever he wanted to sleep.
After quickly returning to the game, Chen Mo first contacted Snowy Night Flower and Fairsky.
It had been a long time since the two of them contacted him. Chen Mo suspected that the two of them had died.
When he contacted them, they were not online. Chen Mo knew that these two unlucky girls must have died in the sunken ship and would not be able to revive for six hours.
Both of them had swimming skills like him, so they would not drown. They were probably killed by the monsters in the ship.
Chen Mo was right. The seawater that surged in from the bottom of the sunken ship not only sucked the players in, but also the monsters in the ship. When the players died, a large number of monsters did not die. Snowy Night Flower and Fairsky did not have an overpowered pet like Ceci Hailow to hold them back. They were washed into a large group of monsters and could not escape even if they wanted to. In the end, they could only be like the players who drowned, unable to revive for six hours.
The City Lord's Official Residence was in the center of Eastsea City. This was Chen Mo's first time here.
The City Lord's Official Residence was a small two-story manor surrounded by iron fences. Usually, the entrance was guarded by guards. Players who did not receive a quest were usually not allowed to enter the City Lord's Official Residence.
However, today, the doors of the City Lord's Official Residence were completely open. A large number of players lined up outside to enter the hall on the first floor to receive a quest.
On the first floor of the City Lord's Official Residence, there were three or four old men or beautiful women NPCs. Players could accept the quest to defend Eastsea City by talking to these NPCs. After accepting the quest, for every monster killed in a party that matched their level, each person in the party would receive 1 to 3 points. The fewer people in the party, the more points they would receive from killing a monster. When a single person killed a monster, they would receive 5 to 15 points, five times more than a party of six.
Of course, Elite and Boss monsters were not counted.
System Notice: You have accepted the quest "Defend Eastsea City"!
Quest: Defend Eastsea City
Quest Difficulty: Unknown
Quest Details: Eastsea City is under attack by the Seafolk. Kill the Seafolk invaders and defend Eastsea City. For every Seafolk monster or invader killed, you will receive corresponding points.
Mission duration: Unknown
Mission Reward: You can use your points to exchange for a corresponding reward from Wei Na.
The top 100 players with the most points would receive additional rewards. The higher the ranking, the greater the rewards. The top ten players would receive the special equipment "Guardian"!
After Chen Mo spoke with an old NPC, he received a quest to protect East Sea City.
The quest was the same as what Chen Mo had learned on the forums. Chen Mo then walked towards a beautiful NPC, Wei Na. Players could exchange their points for rewards from her.
It had only been half an hour since the start of the monster siege, so not many players had obtained any rewards. However, just like Chen Mo, there were many players who wanted to know what they could exchange their points for. Wei Na was surrounded by a large group of players.
"So many good things!"
"Purple equipment!
From weapons to accessories, a full set of purple equipment! "
"I can even exchange it for Skill Proficiency Scrolls! This is too tempting!"
As Chen Mo approached, he could hear the surrounding players exclaiming from time to time.
"Brave adventurer, how may I be of service to you?"
Wei Na asked with a smile as Chen Mo walked over.
In front of Chen Mo's eyes, a series of equipment and items that could be exchanged with points immediately appeared.
The Experience reward that Chen Mo wanted the most was right at the front. Players below Level 20 only needed 100 points to exchange for 10% of the Experience required to level up!
After some calculations, Chen Mo realized that if he could obtain 10 points for killing a monster, he only needed to kill 10 monsters to gain 10% of his Experience. Killing 100 monsters would increase his Level by one!
With Ceci Hailow, killing 100 monsters would be too easy!
It seemed like leveling up to Level 20 would not take much time. Under normal circumstances, even if he was online 24/7, he would need at least two to three days!
Other than Level, Skill Proficiency Points could also be exchanged. For skills below Intermediate Level, every 100 points could be exchanged for 10% of Skill Proficiency Points. Chen Mo could not help but be tempted when he saw this.
Because he had a crazy pet, he did not have the opportunity to level up his skills. Now, only the Basic Traps, Shock Traps, and a few other common skills had been upgraded to Beginner Level. The rest of his skills were still at Beginner Level.
Now that he could exchange points for Skill Proficiency Points, he might be able to upgrade his common skills to Intermediate Level if he had more points.
Other than Level and Skill Proficiency Points, there were also equipment and all kinds of Magic Scrolls and other items.
Magic Scrolls and other items were consumables. Although the points that could be exchanged for them were few, not many people were willing to exchange for them. Most people were still interested in the equipment inside.
The lowest grade of equipment that could be exchanged for was Green Quality, and the highest was Purple Quality. Levels ranged from Level 15 to Level 30.
Purple Quality Equipment attracted the attention of many players. To normal players, Purple Quality Equipment was the best equipment that they could only dream of. If they could get their hands on one, they would be rich.
However, Purple Quality Equipment was not that easy to exchange for. Level 15 Purple Quality Equipment started at 5,000 points. The higher the level, the better the attributes. Moreover, the attributes of these Purple Quality Equipment were unknown. It was a bit of a gamble.
There were so many good things, and Chen Mo was instantly filled with motivation.
Moreover, there were additional rewards for entering the top 100. If he could enter the top 10, he could even obtain a piece of Special Equipment!
Players could equip three pieces of Special Equipment. Currently, Chen Mo only had one of the items that the system had rewarded him. As for the other two, although he could obtain them by completing some quests, the quests were complicated, and the attributes were not that good. Chen Mo did not have the time, so he had delayed getting them.
Now that the quest rewarded him with a piece of Special Equipment, the difficulty of obtaining it was not low. Presumably, the attributes would not be too bad. With Ceci Hailow around, it was not impossible for him to enter the top 10.
After accepting the quest, players could see the leaderboard, but only the top 100 would be displayed.
Chen Mo opened the leaderboard, wanting to see who was in the top 10. However, when he opened it, he was speechless to find that the names of the top 100 players were all question marks.
Those who were on the leaderboard would naturally become famous. Could it be that everyone on the leaderboard wanted to keep a low profile?
Of course not!
There were two ways to display the leaderboard. One was to display all the names on the leaderboard, and the other was to not display all the names.
Whether the leaderboard was displayed or not was decided by the player who accepted the quest. Whichever side had more names would do so.
Most of the players who had a chance of being on the leaderboard wanted to become famous. However, there were many players who did not have a chance of being on the leaderboard. In the end, 42% of the players supported displaying their names, and 58% did not support displaying their names. Then, Chen Mo saw a sea of question marks.
However, whether the players supported or not could be changed at any time. The difference between the two sides was not that big. When the number of players increased, it would not be strange for the leaderboard to display everyone's names.
After leaving the City Lord's residence, Chen Mo rushed out of the city.
Outside Eastsea City, the players and the sea monsters were in full swing.
For the time being, the sea monsters were all around LV20. These sea monsters had already received some kind of buff before they came ashore. Even if they were the same as before, their attributes had increased by a lot.
The battle line was very wide open. Chen Mo found a fisherman with a pitchfork. As soon as he came into contact with the fisherman, he knew that these monsters were not ordinary.
Ceci Hailow was powerful, but she could not kill a large group of them in one go like she could kill players. Chen Mo called out Ceci Hailow and killed them one by one. In any case, with his and Ceci Hailow's battle strength, killing a LV20 sea monster would only take half a minute.
No matter how powerful these sea monsters were, they were not as powerful as the elite monsters he had killed before.
Sure enough, in less than half a minute, a fisherman was killed by Chen Mo and Ceci Hailow.
Chen Mo and Ceci Hailow immediately went to kill another sea monster. Similarly, it did not take long for them to kill this sea monster and obtain 12 points.
Chen Mo and Ceci Hailow's eye-catching performance immediately attracted the attention of many surrounding players.
"What a powerful Hunter!"
"It's the pet that's strong. That pet's attack power is too overpowered!"
"With his speed of killing monsters, and the fact that he's killing them alone, entering the top 10 shouldn't be a problem."
All sorts of envious voices rang out. However, most of the surrounding players were here to kill monsters with full parties. There were quite a few players who wanted to recruit Chen Mo into their party, but their party was already full. Naturally, they wouldn't kick someone out just to recruit Chen Mo. After all, this kind of person wasn't someone they could recruit just because they wanted to.
However, there was still a party that, after seeing Chen Mo, was led by a slightly chubby middle-aged man in his thirties or forties. He immediately kicked a member out of his party and approached Chen Mo. "Brother, join my party. We can take care of each other!"
"He's the leader of the guild 'Mine to Riches'. He's called 'Not Lacking Money'. I think he's a mining speculator in real life. He's a coal mine owner who made a lot of money in a short period of time. He's playing games for fun, and he's very generous when it comes to throwing money at people he likes."
The surrounding players who recognized this chubby middle-aged man whispered.
"It's him?
I heard that this guy is very prideful. If you don't give him face, you'll be screwed!
Last time, an expert refused to give him face, and the person he hired killed him from Level 18 back to Level 10. He's just short of clearing his name. "
"But he's also very generous when it comes to throwing money. He still has some experts under him, and he's not lacking in equipment."
"If this Hunter player can follow his wishes, 'Not Lacking Money' will definitely reward him with a lot of money. If he refuses to give face, I'm afraid he'll be in trouble.
He's not that strong himself, and he relies on his pet. A pet can't beat a guild member. "
The surrounding players, as they discussed, all looked at Chen Mo, waiting for his response.
"No need. I don't have any plans to form a party for now." Chen Mo casually rejected.
He did not know 'Not Lacking Money', and even if he knew beforehand, he would not change his mind.
"Brother, I'm called 'Not Lacking Money'. Those who know me know that I'm very generous to my friends.
If you join my party and help me earn some points, I won't treat you badly. Every point you earn will be worth it!
In order to invite you to join, I even kicked out one of my teammates. You won't refuse to give me face, right? "Not Lacking Money said calmly.

Third update. There was another update around 12 o 'clock.
