Chapter 19: Black Card
The only valuable thing on the kobold warlock was that magic staff, but unfortunately Lin Xi couldn't look down on it.
After collecting the gold and silver coins burst out by the kobolds, and eating the potions and holy water, Lin Xi returned to the entrance of the dungeon, the yellow aura had turned back to white, and there were two treasure chests lying quietly in the center of the aura, and there were four delicate cards with gold patterns on a black background next to them.
These cards, which are about the size of tarot cards, are public forum certifications, and Lin Xi picked up one from them.
“…… You are certified in a public forum (black card). ”
"Public Forum Authentication (Black Card)"
Quality: Perfect
Effect: Activate to get a public forum ID (not activated)
Requirements: Class Level 3
Note: This is a special black card that can be obtained before the public forum is opened, and for a certain price, you will get an unexpected gain [details].
……
Lin Xi focused his gaze on [Detail] at the end of the note, and after a few seconds, a clearer piece of information appeared in his mind.
[1. Pay 1 XP to activate the argument (Soul Binding).] ]
[2. Pay 10 XP to confirm the nickname (the nickname is unique and cannot be changed.] ]
[3. Pay 100 XP points to get a blank forum post ×5/reply post × 10 (can be obtained repeatedly.) ]
[4. Pay 1000 XP points, and when the public forum is activated, priority login will be given (if there are players who activate this function at the same time, the login order will be sorted by personal ID). ]
[5. Pay 10,000 XP to open a forum section and get the section administrator privileges.] ]
There is no sixth, the reason is that the public forum will only be opened when the number of level 3 players in the world reaches 1000, and at the same time, the entry threshold for the public forum is level 3, and players who are less than level 3 will not be able to log in even if they are certified by the public forum.
The card in Lin Xi's hand was called the "moderator card" in his previous life.
This moderator card is no less useful than a +7 artifact for a top-tier player or a faction.
Ordinary public forum credentials are white, while moderator cards are gold on a black background, and the black card owner's nickname in the forum will also be black.
Another difference is that ordinary white cards only have the first three permissions, while black cards have two more back ones, and it is these three differences that make black cards a symbol of identity and strength in their previous lives.
Many private sections and special circles will give priority to players with black nicknames.
Even players who rely on luck to get a black card before the public forum opens can become an intelligence peddler, relying on first-hand information obtained in various sections to become a guest of many big powers. Even get a lot of money to solicit, and you can get mixed in the forum without much effort.
Players who do not have a black card, even if they are on the list of major lists, want to enter some special sections, it is much more difficult than black card players.
After all, in virtual circles, in many cases, strength is not the only criterion, and connections are more important. Not being able to get in is not necessarily because you are not qualified, but because you can't find the right person to lead the way.
In the past life, good people have counted that after five years of the game, the surviving black card players are about 25,000-30,000, which is still extremely rare compared to the player base, and they have a lot of popularity in public forums, which can often be converted into powerful resources, just depending on how the player operates.
“…… You paid 1 XP to activate the Public Forum Certification, Soul Binding. ”
“…… You paid 10 XP, please confirm the nickname. ”
Nicknames for public forums are not arbitrary.
There are a large number of intelligence dealers and professional analysts in the forum, as long as they have the heart, it is possible to contact the player's real identity from the forum nickname, the content of the post, and even the network in the forum, even if they can't, they can also infer the nationality, location, interpersonal relationship, occupation, needs and other information, most of the time, exposing their own real information is harmful and not beneficial.
Therefore, it is best to try to have no connection to the real identity of the forum nickname.
Of course, not everyone needs to be like this. Some powerful lone rangers, or the leaders of a faction, do not need to hide their real identity, and even need to use their influence in the forum to grab advantages.
Lin Xi thought for a while, his lips and teeth opened slightly.
“…… Pandora. ”
“…… Your public forum nickname – Pandora, are you sure? ”
"Sure."
“…… Your Public Forum nickname has been determined, and it is unique, non-repeatable, and unchangeable. ”
Pandora, these three words full of magic changed Lin Xi's life. As the name suggests, Pandora brings disaster and misfortune, but it also gives Lin Xi the power to fight against the apocalypse, even if it carries endless curses.
Having tasted the taste of being controlled by others, Lin Xi will never repeat the mistakes of the past. From an ordinary girl to a dimensional predator that devours all worlds step by step, the curse of power has long been carved into the flesh and blood, deep into the bone marrow, and the pursuit of power has gradually become Lin Xi's instinct, she can't turn back, and she doesn't want to turn back.
In the name of Pandora, Lin Xi will completely get rid of the nightmare of his previous life and pursue absolute power and freedom.
Then, Lin Xi activated the last three permissions of the black card.
“…… You pay 100 XP to get a blank forum post ×5. ”
“…… You pay 1,000 XP and you'll be given priority access when the public forums open. ”
“…… You paid 10,000 XP to gain admin privileges in the forum section...... If you find that the forum has not been opened, please enter the background of the forum to set up the partition section when it is opened. ”
The black card in his hand disappeared and was replaced by five blank forum posts.
The public forum will open in about a month, and until then it will be just a prototype panel.
At this time, Anna and the three also rushed to the entrance of the dungeon, and they were covered in scars. After being attacked by the kobold on both sides, the defense line of the three of them was suddenly broken, if they hadn't jumped into the water in time, and used the kobold's fear of water to delay until Lin Xi killed the kobold leader, I'm afraid there would have been casualties.
Gu Jianai looked at Lin Xi with complicated eyes, and Song Guifan was also silent. At Lin Xi's motion, the three of them took a public forum certification, and found that the level was not enough to be activated, and they were disappointed for a while, and then turned their attention to the bronze treasure chest.
Lin Xi did not delay, and stepped forward to open the two treasure chests in turn.
Unlike regional chests, quest reward chests do not have arcane locks, and they can be opened directly without worrying about the loss of mana.
The first treasure chest was full of equipment, and it looked like a set, and Lin Xi took it out one by one.
"Kobold's leather armor, kobold's leather pants, kobold's leather boots, kobold's claws......"
The basic equipment that was flooded in the previous life, Lin Xi put it aside after a little identification, and looked at the second treasure chest.
The chest also contained a number of items, including an empty money bag, a bottle of No. 2 holy water, two bottles of primary healing potions, a small emerald, and a dozen gold coins.
Lin Xi browsed and put them all away, then turned his head to look at the three of Anna, "Do you have any opinions?" ”
Gu Jianai shook his head quickly, and Song Guifan glanced at the two people beside him, and also shook his head.
At this time, Anna took out a few bottles of satiety elixir and holy water from her pocket and handed them to Lin Xi, "It's all yours." ”
Song Guifan also reacted at this moment, and hurriedly took out the potion from his body, and even dozens of silver coins, "Yes, without you, we wouldn't have been able to get these rewards at all." ”
Thinking about it carefully, whether it is the location of the dungeon, the opening conditions are all told to them by Lin Xi, and even most of the enemies are solved by Lin Xi, under Lin Xi's protection, they can deeply understand the cruelty of the world outside the campus when only one Ji Yongchao died, and under Lin Xi's deliberate arrangement, they can realize the importance of strength, and the change of mentality here is far more valuable than the loot in front of them.
Lin Xi's face was calm, he calmly accepted the things handed out by the three of them, glanced at Song Guifan with a little meaning, and then motioned for them to divide the kobold suit.
Out of the dungeon, Lin Xi called Anna aside alone.
“…… Opening the vassal template will cost 1000 XP, is it enabled? ”
"On."
Lin Xi opened the vassal template and sent a message to Anna.
Anna was stunned, then did not hesitate in the slightest.
“…… Player Anna has agreed to become your vassal and currently has a loyalty of 40. ”
Lin Xi looked at the tail finger of his left hand, where there was a circle of pale golden ivy patterns, ivy represented loyalty and influence, and the rattan circle only had one leaf, representing that Lin Xi currently had only one vassal. The color of the leaves represents the vassal camp, and Anna is a Chinese and neutral, so the color of the leaves is red on a white background.
Anna's body will also have a mark representing Lin Xi, but it is located on her chest.
To Lin Xi's slight surprise, Anna's loyalty was as high as 40. Normally, the base loyalty is only 10, and when it reaches 60, the follower will be able to see all the vassal's attributes.
Lin Xi can now see Anna's name, occupation, level, faction, health and other information.
Taking his gaze away from his fingertips, Lin Xi looked at Anna again.
"Three tips."
"First, players who have not logged in will not be able to enjoy the effects of potions and holy water."
"Second, after tomorrow, a little survival point will be deducted every day, and death will be zeroed."
"Third, you can only leave the city after you reach level 3."
"How this information is used, you think for yourself. Also, collect holy water and potions for me, the more the better. The next time we meet, I hope you can really be on your own. ”
The reason why Anna was told this was to reduce unnecessary casualties for the team.
Of course, the baptism of blood is indispensable, and the most important point is that Lin Xi did not say.
That's the second monster arrival three days after the game starts!
