Chapter 154: Chapter 142: Tonight at Eight, If You’re My Brother, Come Slash Me

Leon City.

After the first Undead successfully advanced to level 11 with the help of the Magic Potion, the remaining Undead found their own advancements just as inevitable.

Moreover, they were keen on "exploiting bugs"; the more inhuman their appearances became after promotion, the stronger they were.

As a result, Leon Territory saw a group of monstrously ugly creatures emerge. Whenever they walked along the streets, the people there would tremble and kneel on the ground, fearing to attract attention from these terrifying beings.

"That lizard pit almost cleaned up, not going anymore?"

"Not going! Disgusting! Lizard shit everywhere."

This game was fun because it was incredibly realistic.

But this game was also not fun, because it was too realistic.

The Undead could never forget the soft, mushy feeling they inadvertently stepped in while eagerly invading the lizardmen’s territory, or the sticky substance squeezed out from between their toes.

They would gag until they disconnected.

"Right, everyone’s leveled up, might as well pick up a small quest and show off."

Differing from Star Dragon Ridge, Leon Territory had no Points system; if you did well, the leadership would commend you, much like a regular job, but commendation... that’s all there was.

Without adequate rewards to motivate them, the Undead who had successfully reached level 11 certainly lost their drive.

Fighting monsters yielded no experience, and although quests rewarded money, there really wasn’t much to buy in Leon Territory.

The only thing available was food, but as an essential resource, it was rationed no matter the power controlling it, and ironically, the Undead didn’t need burdensome food.

The seemingly "fun" tavern was also inaccessible to the Undead because they couldn’t take off their pants. Entering would only lead to being jeered at and mocked, and the Undead did have their pride.

A group of Undead located the legion commander ’Toothless’ Yang, who always had a bottle of booze and a flushed face.

Recent days had been kind to him; although the Undead hadn’t made any significant achievements, the sudden addition of sixty Great Knights under his command allowed him to walk with his back straight among the three legion commanders.

No matter what the other two were planning, Yang was already the strongest, fair and square.

"Commander Yang, we’re here to pick up a quest~"

An unruly shout came, and Yang raised an eyebrow, unconcerned by the disrespect in their tone.

Those who returned from the Great Rift, those who had cast life and death aside, often didn’t sweat the small stuff.

Yang found the Undead particularly liked "doing quests," and liking work was a good thing, but requiring substantial rewards every time made it challenging for him to cope.

As a legion commander, he had plenty of the currency used within Leon Territory’s sphere of influence, which he would normally sprinkle around as rewards for his soldiers. He couldn’t possibly spend it all.

But since the Undead had started taking on quests, Yang found his currency reserves would be emptied by the Undead within half a month at most.

Not only that, the Undead were keen to earn money through quests but were loath to spend it, leading to another issue: Leon City’s internal funds suddenly faced problems.

Everyone found themselves without money.

Previously, people had no money but could still buy things. The sudden disappearance of a large amount of cash within a short period left many bewildered.

Fortunately, it was just a brief stagnation. The problem resolved itself before causing any major misunderstandings, or Yang might have suspected the Undead were doing this deliberately.

However, as an NPC, what he didn’t know was that on the official forum, someone had used Leon City as a basis for a financial game.

[Hoarding a large amount of currency to verify whether NPC monetary resources refresh automatically or if each piece has a specific origin]

The Undead, having too much free time, could engage in many activities.

Eventually, the answer led to no more than the comment "This game setting is too realistic," from the Undead.

The economic crisis that almost caused a collapse in Leon City came silently and left just as silently.

Thinking about what to stuff into the upcoming quest rewards, Yang listed the tasks available within his sphere of influence.

Orally, as paper was too precious to be used for recording such trivial matters.

"Some tracks were spotted near the Trident Junction, possibly from a hostile force."

"Go clean up that force."

"As for rewards," Yang felt a bit challenged; all he could offer was money.

He didn’t really care if the Undead were satisfied with his rewards; as a legion commander, assigning tasks to his soldiers, who were expected to complete them, was their duty.

Offering any extra rewards was already outrageous.

Giving rewards isn’t about what you want, but about what I have.

Unsurprisingly, offering money as a reward once again spurred complaints from the Undead.

"Money again, there’s nowhere to spend it anyway."

"No food, no fun, and no new equipment. Sigh."

They sighed.

The more they compared, the more they felt the disparities in the game’s treatment of different areas.

Leon Territory was supposed to be a grand Main City stage for the Undead after leaving Newbie Village, but it gave off the impression of a makeshift troupe, lacking many features.

Having received their quest, the Undead left Leon City, following the direction casually pointed by a Soldier, and after who knows how long, they saw red names fluttering ahead.

"Is it a player?"

The wandering group of figures ahead caught their attention.

"Seems like it."

Both parties were red names, wild + red names = PK!

The Undead from Leon City was different from those of Star Dragon Ridge.

Based on the research into Magic Potion, the potion in Star Dragon Ridge was of a higher completion level, typically causing no issues after consumption and was very stable.

Whereas the Magic Potion in Leon City was experimental, unstable, uncertain, and unsafe.
