Chen Mo spent about ten minutes to return to Level 3. He then went to the left side of Aiur and found an old NPC called Bud to accept the Emerald Pheasant quest.
The Emerald Pheasant Quest could only be accepted by players above Level 3. However, not many players knew about the quest at first. After all, Bud lived in a remote area outside of Aiur. There weren't many monsters around Bud's residence.
Chen Mo knew about the quest, not because someone mentioned it on the forums, but because he had hacked some information that mentioned the Emerald Pheasant quest.
The Emerald Pheasant quest wasn't difficult. The only problem was that it was time-consuming. After accepting the quest, the player had to protect a Emerald Pheasant from the attack of a vulture for ten minutes in a small dungeon.
The vulture's attack was very low and posed no threat to the player. What the player had to do was to stay alert and protect the Emerald Pheasant when the vulture attacked from the sky.
"Haha, brave adventurer, as long as you can complete my request, I, Bud, will not mistreat you!" Bud laughed heartily and waved his hand as he sent Chen Mo into the small dungeon.
Although the outside world was already dark, the small dungeon wasn't affected by the outside environment. Chen Mo appeared in a small backyard. There was a large grassy field in the backyard. There was a proud rooster with emerald green feathers in the grass. Several vultures were flying in the azure sky.
Bud didn't say what the reward would be, but Chen Mo had learned from the forums that after completing the quest, Bud would give the player 10 copper coins and 100 experience points as a reward. For Level 3 players, it was fine, but for players above Level 4 or 5, this reward was nothing.
Of course, Chen Mo wasn't here for this reward.
The quest officially began. A vulture lowered its head and shot down from the sky towards the Emerald Pheasant.
Chen Mo's original plan was to block the vulture, but he didn't. Instead, he shot an arrow at the Emerald Pheasant before the vulture could reach it.
The Emerald Pheasant only had a little bit of health left. It was hit by the arrow and died instantly.
The vulture in the air was stunned. Having lost its target, it could only fly back to the sky.
System Notification: You have maliciously killed the quest target. World Reputation reduced by 10 points!
"As expected."
Seeing the system notification, Chen Mo wasn't surprised. It was the same as the information he had received. He didn't know how that person knew that this would reduce his World Reputation.
The Emerald Pheasant died, but the quest wasn't a failure. The content of the quest was to protect the Emerald Pheasant from being attacked by the vulture. As long as the vulture didn't attack the Emerald Pheasant, the quest wouldn't be considered a failure.
After 10 seconds, a light flashed in the courtyard and a Emerald Pheasant respawned.
Chen Mo didn't wait for the vulture in the sky to make a move and shot down another arrow, killing the Emerald Pheasant.
System Notification: You have maliciously killed the protected mission target. World Prestige decreased by 10 points!
His World Reputation decreased by another 10 points. Chen Mo's World Reputation was now -20 points.
Chen Mo didn't stop. After 10 seconds, the Emerald Pheasant respawned. Chen Mo attacked again.
The vulture in the sky didn't know what to do. Its mission was to attack the Emerald Pheasant, but the problem was that it wasn't its turn to attack.
…
System Notification: You have maliciously killed the quest target. World Reputation reduced by 10 points!
System Notification: Your World Reputation has dropped to -100. All functional NPCs will refuse to provide services to you. You will revive in the Land of Exiles after death!
System Notification: You have received the title "The Fallen"!
Title: The Fallen
Description: Special title. Only -100 World Reputation and below can receive this title. The title will only take effect after wearing it.
Stats:
Strength + 10
Vitality + 10
Agility + 10
Intelligence + 10
Spirit + 10
Movement Speed + 2
Special Effect: Can only be removed after 3 hours. While wearing the title, the player cannot enter human cities. The death penalty will be doubled. Also, wearing this title can increase the favorability of certain NPCs.
"The information was correct!"
Chen Mo nodded with satisfaction. He had spent so much time hacking into those people's computers. His efforts were not in vain.
The Fallen title's stats were not high. It was equivalent to giving the player two or three levels of stats. However, the price to receive the title was not low. It was not easy to get the -100 World Reputation back to zero. Even if the Land of Exiles had a special quest, it was not something that could be completed by low-level players. That was why Chen Mo did not do this quest in the beginning.
Even if Chen Mo was planning to commit suicide and obtain the Fallen title, he couldn't easily wear it.
"Bastard, what have you done!"
Chen Mo had killed a total of 10 Emerald Pheasants. At this time, Bud rushed in angrily and shouted at Chen Mo.
Bud would capture Chen Mo. Chen Mo would be imprisoned for at least 4 hours. Then, he would be banished from the town of Aiur. After death, he would revive in the Land of Exiles.
Chen Mo had not been to the Land of Exiles, but he knew that it was not a place where a player below level 10 could stay.
So, without thinking, Chen Mo chose to kill himself the moment Bud caught him.
After returning to the character creation room, Chen Mo made some adjustments and entered the game again.
His character still appeared in the Goblin Valley. It seemed that if he did not delete his character completely or reach level 10 and leave the Novice Village, he would appear here after killing himself.
In his backpack, there was still only a broken crossbow, 100 crossbow bolts, and a Basic Trapping Skill book. The normal crossbow, Goblin Shoes, Wolf Leg Guards, and various mutated potions that Chen Mo had obtained before were not in his backpack. They were in the warehouse. He had to return to the town of Aiur to retrieve them.
However, the two titles "Lightspeed Death" and "Freedom Guide" were on the stats board. Chen Mo only needed to move his hands to change them.
The powerful Fallen title was also there. Unfortunately, Chen Mo had obtained the Fallen title when he was level 3. He could only equip it when he reached level 3. Otherwise, with the Fallen title, Chen Mo could have killed all the White Goblins in the cave.
With his previous experience, this time Chen Mo did not spend much time killing the six White Goblins in the cave and reached level 2.
Opening the treasure chest in the cave, Chen Mo only obtained a "Shock Trap" skill book this time. The normal crossbow did not appear.
Without the normal crossbow, the impact was not great. After only half an hour, there was only one Black Goblin left in the valley.
Keeping the Black Goblin, Chen Mo once again tried to mutate it.
He silently counted the number of times the Black Goblin recovered its HP. Previously, the Black Goblin had mutated after recovering its HP thirteen times. But this time, the Black Goblin had recovered its HP twenty times before it finally began to mutate.
Moreover, after Chen Mo killed the Mutated Black Goblin, the items it dropped were much less than before.
The Mutated Black Goblin had dropped a total of 60 copper coins, a bottle of Low-Level Mutated Strength Potion, and a bottle of Low-Level Mutated Agility Potion. Apart from that, there was nothing else.
Chen Mo could not help but sigh. He did not waste time trying to kill the Mutated Black Goblin again. It was really too wise.
Returning to the town of Eyre through the teleportation circle, Chen Mo was not in a hurry to level up. There were too many people right now, so there was no rush.
Now that he had a goal, he had to carefully think about how to obtain a full set of Low-Level Top-Quality Equipment.
"Yes, a portion of players have already left the town of Eyre and entered the three major human cities.
The equipment dropped by the three major cities are all Level 11 and above? "
Chen Mo went to the forums. In the hour that he had killed himself to restart, the portion of players who leveled up the fastest had already left the Novice Village and entered the three major human cities.
The three major human cities were the East Sea City near the Sea of Miracles, the Storm City located in the Storm Desert, and the Shadow City located in the Dark Forest.
Below these three major human cities, there were also many small cities, but players had yet to explore them.
Chen Mo had originally planned to leave the town of Eyre and go to the human cities to obtain some Top-Quality Equipment before returning to fight Enoch to the death. But now, it seemed that this was not the case.
Equipment below Level 10 seemed to only be produced in the Novice Village, the Novice Village, Eyre.
But Chen Mo had a deep understanding of the drop rate of equipment in the town of Eyre, not to mention Top-Quality Equipment.
If Chen Mo was a nouveau riche like Mount Daqing, he would consider using money to purchase a decent set of Low-Level Equipment.
But it would only be a decent set of Low-Level Equipment. The Top-Quality Equipment produced by the town of Eyre was limited to begin with. Even if one had the money, they would not be able to purchase it. At the current stage, the best equipment that could be seen on the forums was Green Quality Equipment, which was one level higher than Blue Quality Equipment.
Purple Quality Equipment seemed to have appeared before, but it was said that the Level 10 Boss outside the town of Eyre, Slime King, dropped it.
