Chapter 21: Green Valley Town, Pet Bar

After disposing of all the equipment, a total of 38.4 million was obtained.

Originally, Jiang Chen thought he’d only get about half of that price, but he didn’t expect such a great outcome.

Adding the 5 million from the Waterfall Cliff and the 250,000 from the gold coin exchange, he now had a total of 43.65 million in his possession.

With such a large sum, he could easily apply for a Level 2 Protection Zone residence qualification certificate.

However, just obtaining the certificate wasn’t enough; he would also need to own a house there.

Otherwise, he would have to live in the area designated by the alliance, and everything he wanted to do would require approval.

Losing his freedom was not something Jiang Chen desired, so if he were to go to the Level 2 Protection Zone, he would need to earn about 50 million more. Otherwise, he’d rather choose the Level 3 Protection Zone.

But that wasn’t something he needed to think about right now. The immediate priority was to head to the main city for class advancement, which was a significant turning point for players.

…

After handling everything, Jiang Chen came to the village chief.

“Village Chief, I need to go to the main city.”

The village chief grabbed his beard. “I didn’t expect you to have grown this much. All right, I’ll send you to the nearest town from the village. I hope you’ll be careful once you get there.”

“Mm.”

It seemed that there was no option for the main city.

According to official information, the first main city after leaving the beginner village should be a secondary main city, with three options available. But for some unknown reason, the option for secondary main cities hadn’t appeared.

It didn’t matter, though. For someone with Jiang Chen’s strength, any main city would do.

The village chief took out a magic scroll, chanted an incantation, and a six-pointed star array appeared beneath Jiang Chen’s feet.

After a flash of light, Jiang Chen disappeared from his original position.

…

At this moment, in the Waterfall Cliff of Beginner Village No. 9527.

Wang Zhou of Chaoge equipped several pieces of silver and bronze gear, then learned a silver-grade skill. He was now glowing in silver light, holding his longsword and filled with excitement.

“Damn it, I’m half-silver-tier now. Now I know why that guy had such high attack power—his gear must be top-notch!”

“General, where did you get these items?” Wang Zhou of Chaoge asked.

“I bought them from Lone Ranger. He’s probably heading to the main city, so he sold all his gear.” General Chaoge replied.

“What?!”

Wang Zhou of Chaoge snorted coldly, his eyes filled with anger. “Speaking of that bastard makes my blood boil. If I ever see him again, I’ll personally skin him alive! He dared to kill me twice and then drop all my elite gear!”

“This kid must have some special skill that boosts drop rates. Damn it!”

General Chaoge pondered for a moment and said, “Jian Nan, if we want our Chaoge Guild to outpace others, we must recruit promising players. Right now, everyone in the world wants to make a name for themselves in World of Hope, even the military has organized large teams.”

“We have too many competitors, and right now, we don’t even have anyone to lead. The Red Veil Guild has Hongsha Liusu, Hero’s Tomb has Huqiang Dushu, and Yihuzhu has A Jug of Muddy Wine…”

“I think we should recruit some experts. Lone Ranger is a huge asset. He’s already showing potential. If we can resolve past conflicts and recruit him, it will definitely yield great benefits.”

“Mm, you’re right.”

Wang Zhou of Chaoge nodded thoughtfully.

“Your suggestion is good. I’ll pay attention to this matter. But that Lone Ranger, I’ll personally kill him and take all his gear!”

General Chaoge: “….”

…

At the same time.

After being teleported by the village chief, Jiang Chen’s vision suddenly went black, and the next moment, he entered a storyline mode. A distant, ancient voice echoed.

“Long, long ago…”

“Old, clichéd narration, exit!”

The storyline mode could be exited directly, and Jiang Chen immediately clicked “Confirm.”

The next moment, everything around him was engulfed in darkness. After a while, the system’s prompt sound rang in his ears.

“Ding! You have entered the special map [Green Valley Town].”

With a flash of light, Jiang Chen appeared in a square.

“Form a team to push the BOSS. Pay attention: only when all members have obtained the pet bar can you enter the main city. If you can’t, take a left at the exit.”

“Any priests? Nine spots left, full team will depart immediately.”

“Hero’s Tomb players gather at the square, preparing to go out and kill the BOSS!”

“Archers with over 100 attack points, quick hire!”

“Yunding Guild top experts leading the team, 150 gold per person, quick help with BOSS.”

“Hidden class experts driving, 200 gold per person, safe and reliable, hop on fast!”

“Red Veil Guild ladies, gather…”

The square was crowded with people, bustling with activity.

Jiang Chen didn’t rush to leave. Instead, he opened the map introduction to check the basic details.

It turned out that Green Valley Town was like a transfer station, where players could choose the teleportation array leading to various main cities.

Most players stayed here because this was the only place in the early stages of the game where the pet bar could be unlocked.

At this moment, Green Valley Town was like a newly opened beginner village, even more popular than a beginner village, with a large number of players from beginner villages being assigned here.

However, some players, lacking good equipment from the beginner village, rashly teleported here and were left dumbfounded. With only white gear on, they couldn’t complete the tasks.

As a result, some players saw a business opportunity and organized teams to lead others. The cost was naturally high, starting at 150 gold, equivalent to 75,000 Chinese yuan.

Meanwhile, players in the resurrection zones on the square were reviving, but they hadn’t lost any levels.

Jiang Chen curiously opened the map rules section.

[In the Green Valley Town map, experience cannot be gained. Players have 5 revival chances. Once the chances are used up, players cannot accept any tasks from Green Valley Town NPCs.].

Not being able to accept tasks meant no pet bar either. Players could only helplessly head to the main city and wait for the system to unlock the pet bar when they reached class advancement.

Class advancement for players was at level 50, which could be a long time away, so most players knew that even if it took more time, they had to unlock the pet bar.

Jiang Chen was no exception. The pet bar task was something he must complete.
