BXBX NOVEL Chapter 360: Why Didn’t You Say So Earlier
Instances inside the game are divided into four levels of difficulty: simple, ordinary, difficult, and real;
And there are level restrictions for entering the instances. If you surpass a certain level, you cannot enter that specific instance. For example, if a player surpasses level 18, they can no longer enter Frost Cave Secret Realm.
And when one first starts to conquer an instance, they have to start from the simple difficulty level. Only after successfully clearing it, they can choose the ordinary difficulty level, followed by the difficult one. After conquering the difficult level of the instance, one can enter the real difficulty level. It is said that once you successfully clear the instance at real difficulty level, the instance will no longer reappear.
However, Song Jian has not heard of any instance at the real difficulty level being successfully cleared;
In Doomsday City, not even a single player has cleared an instance at the difficult level. But as soon as he entered the City of Hymns, Song Jian learned that a player here, who was surprisingly from the Hammer of Thor Alliance, had successfully cleared an instance at the difficult level. Regardless of what level the instance was, being able to successfully clear one at the difficult level speaks volumes about the player’s strength.
This system announcement made the players on the street suddenly excited, with many players even cheering aloud, reveling in the shared glory.
“This is a good way to enhance the reputation of an alliance!” Song Jian thought to himself as he observed the players on the street.
Only clearing an instance at the difficult level will give you this kind of system announcement, which is similar to appearing on TV. Simple and ordinary difficulty levels cannot receive this kind of opportunity.
All players are unwilling to join a small guild, they all want to join a top-tier large guild. And one of the most important indicators of a guild’s strength is the number of instances the guild has cleared.
A guild that appears in such a system announcement will undoubtedly leave a deep impression on the players.
“Hammer of Thor, I’ll remember the name of this alliance!” Song Jian silently muttered to himself as he headed toward Silver Moon Commerce;
He also had plans to create an alliance, but with his current strength, he could only establish a third-tier small alliance at the most. Even though being the first on the level glory list could attract many players to join, true experts don’t place much importance on the level glory list. If he wishes to establish a first-rate guild, Song Jian currently doesn’t have the wherewithal to accomplish this.
“There will be such a day!” Song Jian glanced at the system announcement and continued his way to Silver Moon Commerce,
in the first floor reception hall of Silver Moon Commerce, it was densely packed with people. It was like a mini-market, and all the transactions here targeted professionals. Equipment, weapons, potions, engineering items, magic scrolls and so forth, everything was available here. More than a dozen service personnel were constantly weaving their way through the crowd, guiding customers to the products they required;
Shops and auction houses have differences. Auction houses require paying an expensive fee, therefore only scarce or high-value items can appear in the auction house. Shops are much simpler. Loads of players would rather spend a lot of time selecting items in shops than become a big spender in an auction house;
-Respected god-chosen one, is there anything you need assistance with? Caisy would be happy to assist you!” A decent and beautiful young girl walked up beside Song Jian, gave a slight bow and asked.
“I’m here to see Annie. 1 wonder if she’s in the shop?” Song Jian asked. The Silver Moon Commerce couldn’t possibly have only one manager, so he wasn’t sure if Annie would be in this particular shop.
However, since the Priest sent him to this city, the odds of Annie being at this shop were high;
-May I ask what the reason of your visit to Annie might be?” The young girl hesitated and asked in a soft voice.
“Cecilia Priest sent me, I have a letter to personally deliver to her!” Song Jian
said.
“Please wait a moment, I will notify Annie immediately!
Caisy walked to a counter and murmured a few words. Very soon, the staff at the counter reported the situation to Annie via a communication crystal.
After waiting for a few minutes, Caisy hurried back to Song Jian.
“I apologize for keeping you waiting. Annie is awaiting you in the conference room on the third floor, you can go right in.” Caisy, pointing towards a nearby spiral staircase, said.
“Thank you very much.” Song Jian nodded and headed towards the staircase; On reaching the third floor, Song Jian saw two level 6o warriors, dressed in plate armor, holding big swords, standing still at the stairwell. They looked like two statues, motionless. But Song Jian could feel a heavy oppressive vibe from them.
“Second-tier warriors!” Song Jian looked at the heads of the two warriors and was taken aback;
“At level 30, after passing the assessment, one can reach the first-tier level. At level 6o, after passing the assessment, one is second-tier?” Song Jian thought to himself.
Seeing Song Jian ascend the stairs, the two warriors gave him a knightly salute, then led him to a room, opened the heavy wooden door, and gestured for him to enter;
In the luxurious, spacious conference room, a woman who looked to be in her thirties, sat at a desk, her gaze piercing as she looked at Song Jian.
-You’re the messenger from Cecilia Priest?” Annie, with her low pitched voice, seemed a bit stern, completely different from their previous conversation.
“Yes, this is the letter from Cecilia Priest meant for you.” Song Jian pulled out the letter from his package and handed it to Annie.
“Sit.” Annie casually motioned towards a nearby chair, took the letter, and began reading it immediately, paying no mind to Song Jian;
System: You have completed the first part of the chain task, intimacy with Cecilia Priest increases by too points;
Song Jian didn’t pay much attention to the system prompt. Instead, he sat on the chair opposite to Annie and stared at her. He couldn’t connect the flirtatious, even seductive, voice he previously heard over the phone with the woman in front of him.
“It seems women do indeed have multiple faces.” Song Jian thought to himself. -Blood Demon Cave? Not just any tom, dick, or harry can enter that place. Has Cecilia lost her mind, letting an 18-level god-chosen one go in there?” Annie furrowed her brows, looked up at Song Jian as if she didn’t believe him, and muttered to herself.
“What’s your name?” Annie asked sternly, giving Song Jian the impression of an interviewer conducting an examination, sizing him up and down, studying him.
“My name is Song Jian. 1 think we’ve spoken over the phone before, and even conducted a transaction, Tai Chi Sword Skill, do you remember it?” Song Jian calmly answered, an affable smile on his face.
“You, you are…” Annie immediately stood up, her face full of disbelief, “This, this…”
“Why didn’t you say so sooner?” Annie’s voice softened, a wistful expression on her face as she looked at Song Jian, “you made my emotions all over the place…”
