Chapter 4: Prestige

[Hint: You have killed the Desert Lihzahrd (Lv.4/Elite level), and the rewards will increase dramatically if you kill the Desert Lihzahmon (Lv.4/Elite level!) 】

[Hint: Due to the characteristics of the Gladiatorial Arena at Dusk, the experience points you gain have been converted into skill experience]

A hint came from Su Fan's ears, and in the next second, a large number of stars merged into his body, improving the swordsman's skills.

Because Su Fan's body has only one 'bayonet style', all the experience has been absorbed by it, and in just a few seconds, the level of the bayonet style has climbed from Lv.1 to Lv.5, and the derivative effect has been triggered.

[Hint: 'Bayonet Style' is increased to Lv.5 to trigger the derivative effect, please choose from the following effects——]

Su Fan was not in a hurry to choose, first turned off the panel, and then, he looked at the gladiatorial arena.

Since the desert lizard beast was killed by him, the gladiatorial arena did not burst out like last time, the light points representing 'skill experience' were given to the audience above, on the contrary, this time the skill experience light point was swallowed by Su Fan.

This is the characteristic of the [Twilight Gladiatorial Arena].

Failing the challenge and lowering the character level by one character is a death penalty for each player, and at the same time, the experience escaped by death will be converted into equivalent skill experience for the players in the audience to enjoy.

If the challenge is successful, the challenger will enjoy all the experience exclusively, and the experience of the entire desert lihzahrd being killed will become the challenger's food.

Su Fan enjoyed the entire experience exclusively, plus as a swordsman profession, he has a talent specialty [Sword Practitioner], and the growth rate of swordsmanship skills is +30%, which also applies to this harvest, so Su Fan's 'bayonet style' can be upgraded to Lv.5.

Normally, if an ordinary player wants to upgrade their skills to Lv.5, they only rely on farming monsters in the wild.

I'm afraid that the character will have to rise to Lv.10, and his skill level will be able to reach this level.

This is still the case of using one main skill, and if you use it sparingly, the skill will level up more slowly.

The vast majority of players have only half or even a third of the character's skill level, and their skills are ridiculously low.

Su Fan's skill level is higher than that of the character, which is definitely a rare exception.

The players in the audience looked at each other, not yet recovering from their shock.

What just happened?

A zero-level player, pick ......... Challenge the Shawei Trial.

And it worked?!

Sky!

This is a desert lizard, an elite-level monster, and players of the same level are not its opponents, didn't you see that the last fourth-level knight died violently?

Level 0 newcomer, still a swordsman, not a strong profession in the early stage........... The crowd fell silent.

If it hadn't happened in front of their eyes, no one would have dared to believe that a zero-level player could challenge and complete the 'Shawei Trial', and they would definitely think that the other party was talking about the Arabian Nights and living an April Fool's Day joke.

But the facts are in front of them, and they cannot be allowed to refute and deny them.

Of course, Su Fan didn't have time to care about other people's thoughts, because he got a new hint-

[Hint: You have completed the 'Trial of the Sandguards' and have obtained a new identity: Desert Guards (Principality of Black Flame)]

[Hint: Faction Reputation has been increased, and your relationship with the Duchy of Black Flame has become 'friendly']

[Hint: You can go to the Quartermaster's Office and claim a recruit bonus]

Looking at the prompts on the panel, Su Fan breathed a sigh of relief, his goal had been achieved, passed the assessment, and became the desert guard of the Black Flame Principality.

Although the Desert Guard is the lowest-level faction identity, in the early game, within the confines of Boulder Town, this identity is of great help to him, and moreover, the Desert Guard has the 'friendly' reputation of the Black Flame Principality, saving him the time to brush up the reputation of the faction.

In the world of the Old Gods, faction reputation can be earned in two ways.

The first is to farm special quests, which are not easy to find and are basically very well hidden.

Except for Su Fan, the others didn't know how to trigger it at all.

The second is to obtain faction status, which is a different faction identity with initial reputation.

The Desert Guards, for example, have a reputation for being 'friendly'.

If your reputation is lower than that, when you gain status, it will increase to friendliness.

Players who chose the Duchy of Black Flame were born as citizens of Black Flame, but the reputation of the citizens was 'Normal', two levels lower than the Desert Guards, and the difference between the two was not small.

The initial prestige is divided into-

Hostile and cold, plain, good, friendly.

There are also levels above friendliness, which players can't reach in the early stage, and basically, friendliness is the highest reputation they can get.

Su Fan took advantage of the shortcut in his identity to win the friendly reputation of the Black Flame Principality.

This is enough to make the players in the audience envious.

They knew too well how difficult this Shawei trial was, and they were all ready to rise to Lv.5 before considering challenging it.

"Before the end of the trial, I obtained the status of Shawei..........."

Su Fan rubbed his wrists, looked at the audience in the gladiatorial arena, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

If he remembers correctly, according to the trajectory of his previous life.

On the second day of his login, that is, in the early hours of tomorrow morning, Juyan Town suddenly ended the 'Shawei Trial', so that the group of players who were ready to hit the fifth level and then participate in the assessment beat their chests and regretted it one by one.

According to the plot party, it may be that the Principality of Black Flame realized the invasion of the foreign lands and started to guard in advance, and also terminated the recruitment of the Desert Guards, plus the high-level members of the professional guild also knew about the invasion, and there were very few members under its command who came to take the identity of the Desert Guards.

Therefore, players who have the status of a desert guard in their previous life can be described as rare.

Even a few people were later forced to delegate tasks because of the invasion, and suffered heavy losses, and even lost their identities.

However, these did not affect Su Fan's choice.

With three days to go, he had plenty of time to maximize the benefits of his status as a Desert Guard.

After the trial, Su Fan's feet lit up with starlight and he was teleported out of the gladiatorial arena.

At the same time,

Sprite in the audience stared at the gladiatorial arena in a daze, with the same dull eyes as everyone else, and she hadn't come back to her senses yet.

Suddenly, I don't know who shouted-

"That 'spectator' challenge won, that ....... Then our skill rewards, aren't they gone? ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience suddenly fell silent and silent.

You know, 50 copper coins is not cheap, at least in the early stage is a huge amount of money, even if they are all old players, they have to farm a few hours of wild monsters to earn back, and losing a game in vain is equivalent to losing 1/3 of the income, which can make them extremely painful.

After thinking about this, the old players in the audience hurt even more, and as a result, I don't know who asked again:

"That 'viewer' is obviously only level zero, isn't he a newcomer, and the initial capital on his body is up to 20 copper coins........."

"The challenge of the Shawei Trial requires the payment of 50 copper coins."

"How did he scrape together enough money?!"

This question is like a soul asking, which is deafening and deafening, and at the same time, it also makes the remaining players in the audience bow their heads and think.

Suddenly, Sprite sensed that the atmosphere was wrong, turned her head to look, and found that some of the players who had lined up earlier recognized his appearance, looking at her one by one, with a faint anger and grievance in her eyes.

...................

After Su Fan left the gladiatorial arena, he reappeared at the entrance.

At this time, the two desert guards who were originally guarding the entrance of the gladiatorial arena immediately nodded when they saw him come out.

This is the benefit of the 'friendly' reputation, and in the perception of these Desert Guards, they are naturally much more cordial to them as colleagues and best friends who carry guns and fight together, compared to their attitude towards ordinary players, which is the difference between cloud and mud.

If Su Fan has some time to spare, ask them if there is anyone in Boulder who needs 'help'.

These desert guards will also enthusiastically reveal information to Su Fan, telling him that those small town residents are in need of help from others, and if they follow the prompts to talk, they will definitely be able to trigger relevant tasks, which is much more efficient than looking for people to talk to on the street.

This is a skill for advanced players.

Even the members of the professional guild, the group of beta testers, have not yet figured out the skills.

However, Su Fan didn't delay time, he had more important things-

"Please take me to the quartermaster."

"No problem!"

The Desert Guards had no doubts, and under the stunned gaze of the players in line, one of them left with Su Fan, and the other stayed behind to continue guarding the door.

This accident-like move immediately caused an uproar, and some players raised their necks and looked at Su Fan's back:

"Hey, hey, what did I just see?"

"There was a desert guard who actually left with the player........... Damn, did he trigger the mission?! ”

"Impossible, the desert guards guarding the door, how many times have others talked to them? I've been tried countless times by them, how can anyone trigger the task, I don't believe ..........."

When everyone was in a discussion, suddenly, an old player with 'Lv.4' on his head hesitated:

"Could it be that he passed the 'Shawei Trial'? Became a member of the Desert Guards, so he was given preferential treatment. ”

"No way, he's only level zero!"

This is more useful than any evidence, and the person who originally made the suggestion shook his head himself.

Indeed, the difficulty of the Shawei Trial is obvious to all, without Lv.5 strength, it is unlikely to win it, even if it is Lv.4, it is a very elite kind of master, only members of the professional guild can meet this standard.

But the person just now has 'Lv.0' on his head, and this level is impossible to pass the Shawei trial!

Thinking about this, everyone realized that the 'viewer' was most likely the first possibility, that is, the task was triggered.

So, just as they were about to go and talk to the desert guards at the door, to see if they could trigger the mission.

Because everyone was too noisy, and in addition, the Desert Guards, as plot characters, had excellent intelligent logic, and after hearing everyone's words, they swept them around coldly and snorted heavily: "Shut up, it's forbidden to make loud noises in front of the gladiatorial arena." ”

"Another ............"

"You are not allowed to slander your colleagues, and there will be a next time, and you will be locked up for 'half a day'!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, and they saw the excellent intelligence of the desert guards, and at the same time, they also realized something.

The viewer.........

I really passed the 'Shawei Trial'!

With the strength of a level zero player!!
