Book 2 Chapter 1: Bloody City

Not far from the hillside, there was a bar, which was bustling. There was a large group of people inside lively drinking and chatting, n and won of every kind of color. The scene made Shen Yi surprised, the most surprising thing was that there was a couple making love in public, while the people next to them turned a blind eye. Seeing Hong Langs n coming in with Shen Yi, a shaved man, whose upper body was naked, shouted, Hey, Hong Lang, you caught another fish, right?

Must be. How much did you get? 300 BP? So people asked.

Its an evil fish. Hong Lang helplessly answered.

WTF! A group of people at the sa ti called up, Evil fish? This kid is really not afraid of death?

Yes, he also took the initiative to shoot us. A guy behind Hong Lang said.

The group of people in the bar looked surprisedly at Shen Yi. Even the couple making love had stopped their actions, and looked at Shen Yi with awe.

Shen Yi was followed by a group of people, so he easily found a table to sit down. He called the barmaid to bring out 50 bottles of beer; after using the Bloody Crests buying function to pay 1 BP, he casually said, The ones like are very rare?

Hong Lang nodded, Do you think there are many people like you, who, pointed at by gun from a large group of people would still be brave enough to fight back? If it was another beginner in that case, how much BP we want, is how much he would have to pay. When I passed the beginners mission, I was robbed of 100 BP. Only later, after knowing that this place doesnt allow adventurers to attack each other did I regret. Looking at the bar with so many noobs, who was not exploited? Just a small group of people, because they ca in when there was no one at the Transport Point, or knew the situation at the ti; thus they escaped that fate.

How much did you earn?

I earned 800 BP, and was robbed 300 BP.

Only 800 BP? Shen Yi was a bit stunned.

Passing the beginners mission, with the BP reward only, he already had 7800 BP. After going out of the mission world, the Bloody Crest imdiately deducted 1000 BP to pay Scarface. Even so there was still 6800 BP left. Originally he thought that the majority of the newcors gained a little less than him, but the gap was not too much. Now after listening to Hong Lang and knowing that his BP reward was eight tis of his reward, he was quite surprised.

Hong Lang asked Shen Yi, Before you entered the beginners mission, what was your situation?

Murder. Shen Yi replied.

How many?

Killed seven, seriously injured sixteen, with eight of them severely disabled.

No wonder you are so ruthless. Hong Lang cursed, Well, you are the type who has been deceased and then reincarnated. This is one of the ways to enter Bloody City. There are many people here, but each person has a unique case. Even till now we dont even know what the standard is for the guy who brought us here. Before I entered here, I was an ordinary worker. That day I was in class and then I had a quarrel with the foreman, when suddenly I ca here. As for these buddies, so were hit by a car and while they were still in the air and still on Earth; when they touched the ground they were already here. Soone ca here while using the Internet, so were sleeping but woke up here. The most interesting case was a guy who was brought in while having s*x. He completed the beginners mission in the nude; after he entered Bloody City, he got the nickna Terminator.

Everyone laughed together, Shen Yi also laughed a few tis.

So of the hostility originally in the atmosphere gradually eased down.

Hong Lang and his n drank beer, while introducing Bloody Citys situation.

It turned out that Bloody City was actually a city specially opened for the adventurers to live in.

The whole city was divided into five districts, respectively: the Slums District, the Common District, the Apartnt District, the Villa District and Independence Island. Five living areas were corresponded to five Difficulty Levels. The living area Shen Yi is in right now was the Slums District.

In the Slums District, adventurers dont have their own house. They usually only sleep in the open air, with a part of the adventurers sleeping in simple camps, costing only 30 BP. Fortunately, there was no rainy season, with the four seasons being sunny. With the Bloody Crest storage functions, living like that didnt cause too much trouble.

The Slums District was a living area for the adventurers in the Difficulty Level I. Only after their military rank had reached Corporal could the adventurers enter the Common District.

Military rank is what was used to divide the adventurers level in the Bloody City. It was evaluated according to the performance of the adventurers in the missions.

Task performance evaluation was divided into: Poor, Ordinary, Excellent and Perfect.

Rank promotion required a Perfect evaluation, or two Excellent, or five Ordinary.

Corporals could enter the Common District; Second Lieutenants could enter the Apartnt District; Majors could enter the Villa District; Generals could enter Independence Island. The highest military rank was Marshal. And only Marshals were eligible to enter the citys most central building, Babel Tower [1. Literally Tower which can reach the Heaven.]. It was said that in there they can challenge the Ending Mission.

When the Ending Mission was completed, Bloody City will et one of your wishes.

Each District had different facilities.

For example, upgrading weapons must be done in the Weapons Research Institute, which didnt exist in the Slums District. In the Apartnt District there was a rcenary Camp, where you could hire rcenaries. The Villa District had luxuries like the casinos, Sacred Palace for offerings and so on.

Adventurers could go to the others Districts, but every ti you enter, you would need to pay 100 BP, and could only stay for a limited ti. If you go from the Slums District to the Villa District, you need to pay 300 BP, and then when you co back you had to pay 300 BP again.

It could be said that Bloody City in itself was a fully functional city. There were supermarkets, shops, bars, restaurants and other facilities, while in so places there were special staff positions.

Staff positions were all taken by the adventurers, with the purpose being to make so BP. For example, the barmaids that bring beers, was in fact, an adventurer. With each month of service, she could get 100 BP. Scarface was a Beginner Instructor, it was also a career.

All living expenses here were paid by BP. 1 BP was almost the equivalent to 100 RMB. As long as you were willing to spend money, you could buy anything.

BP was not only the key to survival, but was also the key to strengthening yourself. The Bloody City stores sold a variety of weapons, skills, or even items for enhancing attributes.

In the Slums District, using 100 BP could increase an attribute by 1 point. If Shen Yi spent enough BP, he could make himself as powerful as Dracula.

As for Mission World, once the quest couldnt be completed, Bloody City often deducted BP as the price. Those who didnt have enough BP were dismissed.

In brief, BP was the most important resource in Bloody City. No wonder the senior adventurers tried every an to rob the newcors.

Items obtained from the Mission World could be exchanged for BP. But the item trading function only opened after a newcor entered the city for three hours. So senior adventurers couldnt rob new items. This may be the citys way to protect newcors, so that the newcors wouldnt be extorted of everything.

But for many adventurers, robbing a newcor was not a good idea. Unnecessarily making an enemy, in the future when going into the Mission World, it was likely to bring unnecessary trouble to themselves. This was the reason why Hong Lang only extorted 300 BP. This amount could avoid the newcors greater hatred; after troubling them in the Mission World. It had later also gradually beco Bloody Citys unofficial rule giving newcors a way, is also giving yourself a way.

Of course, there were so people who had endless greed and who robbed as much as possible. But such people were likely to cause public outrage, with the result being an early death in the Mission World.

Therefore, in Bloody City, there were people who lived due to their careers, people who robbed newcors, people who lived from hand-to-mouth, people were also lost in their past, people who practiced hard, and also people who took each day as it ca.

Different people chose different lifestyles.

The information about the Bloody City was large and complex, after Hong Lang talked for half a day, Shen Yi gradually understood.

About the secrets of the Bloody City, excluding the mories the city gave to us when we first ca here, all the other secrets we have to find out ourselves. All the answers and laws, so of it were explored by ourselves, and so just gossip. So rumors perhaps were real, but unless you test them for yourself, no one knows which is true or false. Even if its real, what does it really an? Marshal how many people in this life-and-death world could be promoted to that rank? Anyways, I havent heard nor seen anyone.

Hong Langs tone was sowhat sad, his eyes were full of despair, obviously he didnt think they could reach that rank.

Not everyone can be as calm as Shen Yi in this kind of situation.

Shen Yi had finally co to understand why in this bar there was even soone having s*x in public. In this environnt where no one knew the future, many people begun to lose their morals and enjoyed life every second.

Shen Yi patted Hong Langs shoulder, Well, why are you so sad about it. I think this place is not so bad.

Hong Lang stared at him for a long ti, and only said one sentence, Everyone who said that, they either had a premature death or they beca strong.

Then I must be the latter. Shen Yi answered smiling.

***

After the introduction of Bloody Citys situation, Shen Yi asked Hong Lang so other things.

For example, in order to enhance, an adventurer must go to specialized stores. In there, 100 BP could enhance an attribute point. Weapons and skills could also be purchased in the store. The standard price of a rank D weapon was 3000 BP, rank DD was 6000 BP, rank C was 9000 BP, rank CC was 18000 BP. The more the rank raised, the more expensive the prices; of course the weapons and skills were more powerful.

(TL note: Sa as Terror Infinity, 1A = 3B, 1B = 3C, etc)

In addition to learning an ability, not only would you need to spend a huge amount of BP, but also needed to have a corresponding basic ability called Forte.

The Fortes: Firearms Forte, Archery Forte, Fighting Forte, Swimming Forte, chanical Forte, Blasting Forte, etc. All Fortes were divided into five levels: Basic, Advanced, Expert, Master, Grandmaster. These basic abilities were the basic requirents for adventurers to learn and use skills. In addition to this, the basic level of Forte could only be learned directly by spending BP, but upgrading the level of the Forte could only be through hard training, or through the Scroll of Upgrading Forte.

Bloody Citys ability system was divided into: Skills, Innate Talent, Class, Psychic Power, Practicing Manual and Bloodline.

Skills occupied the slots of skills bar, if youre fighting you could just directly kill the target by selecting a skill on the bar.

Psychic Powers didnt occupy slots of the skills bar, but most Psychic Powers cannot directly kill a target.

Bloodline and Practicing Manual didnt occupy the slots of the skills bar, but Practicing Manual required a correspondent Book of Practicing Manual and BP to learn, and Bloodline required a corresponded bloodline and BP to learn.

Adventurers can choose a variety of Practicing Manuals to practice. As for Bloodlines, you can only choose one. But often there have been so special race skills. For example, with the Vampire Bloodline, you could use the vampire race skills like Blood Drain.

As for Innate Talent, it was the adventurers own ability. Like a certain natural-born talent, it could let you learn so skills with more efficiency, but also had a great chance to produce variability skills. Innate Talent couldnt be obtained through rewards, as the effect was completely different for each person.

Therefore, in the early days, the vast majority of adventurers selected so skills to learn first, but later, when they wanted to really strengthen up, they had to spend so efforts for Psychic Powers, Practition Manual and Bloodline.

Everything relating to this, Hong Lang basically told Shen Yi everything he knew.

50 BP was exchanged for this information, the two sides were satisfied. Shen Yi learned so of the things he originally didnt understand. He still had doubts and problems but he clearly saw his goal, and could obtain them if he put in the effort.

Although he earned a lot of BP according to what Hong Lang said, enhancent was almost unlimited, so what you beco depends on your own efforts.

Hong Lang was still in bad mood from the failure of tricking Shen Yi. He personally poured a glass of wine for Shen Yi, Brother, I forgot to ask your na.

My na is Shen Yi.

What was your beginners mission? You are so generous, you earned a lot of benefits from the quests, right?

Shen Yi faintly answer, Van Helsing.

Unbelieveable, you entered a fantasy world, that has a very small probability. Hong Lang whispered, The vast majority of Mission Worlds in Difficulty Level I were shooting missions, after all, we had only co to the city for a short ti, guns are always the best to use. Only those from the Common District and above would feel that fists are better than guns. Your first ti was a fantasy world, I dont know if you are lucky or unlucky.

I ca out alive, so Im lucky. Shen Yi said.

Soone shouted, Fantasy worlds are the most difficult, but the quests reward are also the best. I saw that this kid was so brave, I bet he didnt choose 25% difficulty, if not the 50% difficulty then its the 100% difficulty.

100%. Shen Yi replied.

The crowd was shocked.

Everyone knew how difficult 100% difficulty is.

Then you should have good harvests. Even if you couldnt kill Dracula, the gains were not small. Another said.

Shen Yi turned around, How do you know that I didnt kill Dracula?

Hong Lang imdiately said, No one has done it before. Beginners Mission are constant, we know all the quests. Dracula is the ultimate BOSS of the Van Helsing world, he only appears in the 50% difficulty or more; in 100% difficulty he has his full power. No newcor has gotten rid of that guy in the 100% difficulty, even in 50% difficulty, a newcor that could kill him was very rare. So newcors tried to challenge him in 100% difficulty, but all of them failed. Fortunately, the failure of the Optional Quest wouldnt dismiss the newcors, so a few people were lucky enough to escape from Draculas hand. These people beca famous in the Bloody City. Its said that Dracula has 3000 HP after his transformation and even has very powerful skills. Even for us right now, its also difficult to deal with such creature, let alone a newcor.

Shen Yi nodded, Yes.

His face had a very calm expression, this made Hong Lang feel so confusion.

I say dont tell you successfully killed Count Dracula?

Shen Yi smiled, but didnt answer.

The whole bar suddenly beca quiet.

Everyone stared at Shen Yi.

After thinking a bit, Shen Yi said, No matter how strong a BOSS is, its existence has only one purpose To be killed.
