Faced with the sudden appearance of three Level 35 Lord-tier Dark Dragons, Zhang Yue couldn't help but be stunned.
He was only Level 26, and facing a Level 35 Lord-tier monster, even just one of them would be enough to take his life!
Let alone three at once—how could he possibly fight them?
Just as Zhang Yue thought the three Lord-tier Dark Dragons were about to attack him, one of them spoke!
"The Light Tribe is about to fall. Staying with them will only lead to your death.
Seeing that you have so strength, I'll give you a chance to switch sides. Join our Dark Tribe, and you won't die!"
Zhang Yue hesitated for just a mont.
Then he resolutely replied, "Alright, I'll join you."
Can't beat them?
Then join them!
Three Level 35 Lord-tier Dragons—how could he possibly fight them?
It was only now that Zhang Yue finally understood why this hidden quest had such a high difficulty level!
Who would have thought this was a trap set by the Dark Dragon Tribe?
Zhang Yue realized that if he resisted these three Lord-tier Dark Dragons, not only would he be killed, but the quest would also fail.
He would face double the punishnt!
By joining the Dark Tribe, at least he wouldn't die and could avoid the penalty of losing one level.
Seeing Zhang Yue agree to join the Dark Tribe, the three Lord-tier Dark Dragons dropped their hostility.
"Follow us!"
One of the Dark Dragons spread its wings and leaped into the air, flying towards the Ancient Ruins.
The other two followed closely behind Zhang Yue, as if to prevent him from escaping.
Zhang Yue left the Ancient Ruins and followed the leading Dark Dragon.
***
After about ten minutes, guided by the three Dark Dragons, Zhang Yue passed through a spatial rift at the foot of a mountain and arrived at a place similar to the Light Hall.
Magnificent hall-like buildings intertwined with each other.
But here, everything was shrouded in darkness.
Countless Dark Tribe Dragons hovered in the air.
At this mont, a Dark Tribe Dragon Knight in black armor walked out from one of the halls.
He approached Zhang Yue and said, "Welco to the Dark Hall! Serve us! Together with the Dark Tribe, let's destroy the hypocritical Light Tribe and rule the entire Dragon Valley!"
As soon as the Dark Dragon Knight finished speaking, a system notification sounded in Zhang Yue's ear:
"Ding~ The Dark Tribe leader [Dark Dragon Knight · Goya] invites you to join the Dark Tribe faction (joining the Dark Tribe faction will prevent you from entering the Light Hall and receiving quests from Light Tribe NPCs). Do you agree?"
At the sa ti, another system notification followed:
"Ding~ Unfortunately, your hidden quest [Crush the Darkness] has failed due to tiout. You have been penalized: Level -1, Light Tribe NPC trust -300!"
This was forcing Zhang Yue to join the Dark Tribe!
It didn't matter which side he was on, as long as he could complete the world quest in the end.
So, Zhang Yue smiled at Goya and said, "Alright, I am willing to assist the Dark Tribe in rising."
"Ding~ You have joined the Dark Tribe. From now on, the Dark Hall will be your resurrection point, as well as your login and logout point in the Fourth World!"
As a Level 35 4-star BOSS, Dark Dragon Knight Goya laughed heartily at Zhang Yue: "Welco to the team!"
Zhang Yue reviewed the history in his mind.
It seed that in the 110 years since the Otherworld descended, no Professional had ever defected from the Light Tribe to join the Dark Tribe in the Fourth World!
Zhang Yue was the first in history!
Oh well… so be it.
As soon as Zhang Yue joined the Dark Tribe, Goya issued him a quest: "To prove your loyalty, go to the Light Tribe's territory and hunt so Light Dragons!"
"Ding~ Do you accept the quest [Eliminate Arrogance 5]?"
Goodness!
You can actually receive quests from the Dark Tribe leader?
It's known that in the Light Hall, the Light Tribe leader is the only NPC from whom you can't trigger quests; Professionals can only receive quests from other ordinary Dragon Knights!
So, Zhang Yue accepted the quest and left the Dark Hall.
[Eliminate Arrogance 5] (Ordinary Quest)
[Difficulty: 370]
[Description: The Light Tribe is the archenemy of the Dark Tribe. Please go to the Light Tribe's Holy Light Camp and kill 300 Light Dragons to eliminate their arrogance.]
[Reward: Experience Points 150,000, Psionic Energy 22,500, Trust 30, Random 3-star Equipnt 1, Silver Coin 60]
[Ti: 2 days]
"The sa difficulty of 370 points, but the reward for killing 300 dragons from the Dark Tribe is 50% higher than that from the Light Tribe?"
Comparing it to the [Increase Arrogance 5] quest he received from the Light Hall this morning, Zhang Yue felt he had co to the right place!
The location of the Dark Hall was very hidden.
Zhang Yue passed through a spatial rift at the foot of a mountain in Dragon Valley.
The spatial rift leading to the Dark Hall disappeared imdiately, only reappearing when Zhang Yue called it with his mind.
***
With the quest in hand, Zhang Yue arrived at the Level 31 Holy Light Camp, north of the Light Hall!
This was where the Light Tribe trained their battle forces.
Countless Level 31 [Light Dragons] hovered above the Holy Light Camp.
"Sorry, but I'm being forced."
Zhang Yue sighed lightly, raised the Necromancer's Staff, and aid it at the Light Dragons.
Level 31 Light Dragons were evenly matched with Level 31 Dark Dragons.
So, dealing with them was easy for Zhang Yue.
With the assistance of the Dark Skeleton King and Skeleton Warriors, he finished off 300 Light Dragons from 2 PM to 6 PM, completing the quest.
***
Returning to the Dark Hall, Zhang Yue found Dragon Knight Goya and submitted the quest.
With the generous reward of 150,000 experience points, Zhang Yue returned to Level 26!
A quick look at " will leave you more fulfilled.
Besides that, Zhang Yue also received a piece of 3-star equipnt, the [Black Dragon Boots]!
However, the equipnt from the Fourth World had a high level requirent, being Level 30.
Currently, Zhang Yue's Level 25 Necromancer Set was still sufficient.
So, he temporarily stored the Black Dragon Boots in his inventory, planning to use them when he reached Level 30.
Seeing that it was dinner ti, Zhang Yue logged out of the Otherworld, using the Dark Hall as his logout point.
***
Back in the real world, Zhang Yue opened his door and was greeted by the aroma of food!
Looking up, he saw a note stuck to his door:
"Sorry about last night. I made dinner and left a portion for you in the microwave. If you don't mind... rest assured, it's not poisoned!"
Zhang Yue found a bowl of steaming hot stir-fried green pepper and pork over rice in the microwave on the living room table!
It slled delicious!
Seeing the note and the steaming bowl of rice, Zhang Yue felt touched.
Then, he dumped the food into the trash can downstairs and went to a nearby cafeteria to order two dishes and a soup.
You say it's not poisoned, and I'm supposed to believe you?
After dinner, Zhang Yue returned to his room, locked the door, and logged back in!
"Ding~ Welco to the Otherworld Fourth World · Dragon Valley! You are currently in the Dark Hall (the Dark Hall is not a Safe Zone, only serving as your login, logout, and resurrection point)!"
Zhang Yue found the Dark Tribe leader, Dragon Knight Goya, to continue receiving quests.
Perhaps because Goya was the Dark Tribe leader, after the previous "5-series" quest, Zhang Yue received an even higher-level quest this ti!
[Against the Light 6] (Ordinary Quest)
[Difficulty: 400]
[Description: The City of Destruction is a long-term battleground between the Light Tribe and the Dark Tribe. Please go to the City of Destruction and assist the Dark Tribe there in fighting the Light Tribe, killing 360 Light Tribe Fla Dragons.]
[Quest Reward: Experience Points 180,000, Psionic Energy 24,.000, Random 3-star Equipnt 1, Goya Trust 36, Silver Coin 75]
[Ti: 2 days]
If he rembered correctly, this quest was called [Against the Dark] on the Light Tribe's side.
Now, it was really the opposite!
Zhang Yue restocked so potions from the Dark Hall's shop and prepared to head to the [City of Destruction].
Just then, he received a Feixin ssage.
Zhang Yue opened Feixin.
White Rabbit Creamy Candy: "Can you help with a quest?"
Zhang Yue replied: "Didn't you say you only needed to help you get through the city-level qualifiers?"
After a while, White Rabbit Creamy Candy ssaged back: "This quest is really too hard... I'll pay you, okay? I'll give you 560 yuan if you help complete it!"
560 yuan...
"Why 560?" Zhang Yue was curious about the amount.
White Rabbit Creamy Candy seed a bit embarrassed and replied after a long ti: "That's all the money I have..."
Zhang Yue was about to close Feixin and ignore White Rabbit Creamy Candy altogether.
The next second, she sent another ssage: "Help with this, and I'll tell you a secret about Xiu Luo!"
Zhang Yue's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
He opened the input interface again: "Location."
White Rabbit Creamy Candy quickly replied: "The Capital of Death!"
