Chapter 122 Divine Realms: Legends Change
The first rays of dawn painted the sky above Willowbrook Town in hues of gold and rose, signaling the start of a new day in Divine Realms: Legends.
Successively, individuals materialized on the expansive thoroughfares, their visages radiating enthusiasm, keen to partake in the alterations within Divine Realms: Legends.
However, their expression soon turned to soar. Neither the System panel nor their bodies showed any changes, and even the entire Willowbrook Town felt the same as usual.
"I waited twelve hours for this?"
"Why doesn't the official website show any changes from the upgrade?"
"That's a fraud!"
Concurrently, numerous seasoned gamers initiated expressions of their vexation, whereas a considerable number of players exhibited indifference towards the update, promptly proceeding directly to the Wilderness to engage in monster slaying and character advancement.
Aside from the seasoned players, Willowbrook Town also welcomed numerous novices, who approached this game with a sense of curiosity and discovered its extraordinary novelty.
"Looking for a top player to help level up, 100 credits per level. If you're looking to scam, don't bother. Serious inquiries only!" a new player shouted on the street.
Soon, several other new players also started shouting, but their prices were lower than 100 credits. Each of them stood there like a wealthy person, looking proud and content.
At this moment, Eric came out of the inn, feeling refreshed. The inn's supplement had replenished him and made him exuberant.
After the evolution of Divine Realms: Legends, players gained many potential attributes, which could only be experienced firsthand, such as stamina and concentration. It was no longer possible to run tens of kilometers without getting winded or to fight endlessly without feeling mentally exhausted. Now, a level 0 player would get tired after running two or three kilometers, losing their combat ability. Continuous monster grinding also became difficult, like running, consuming a lot of stamina. When stamina dropped to a certain level, players would feel weak and mentally fatigued.
Furthermore, the iteration of Divine Realms: Legends had ushered in numerous subtle modifications. The overarching System had enhanced the game's realism and had also escalated the challenge associated with player advancement.
In the previous life, after the upgrade of Divine Realms: Legends, prices skyrocketed, increasing two to three times. Many people regretted not stockpiling resources after the evolution of Divine Realms: Legends.
And now, with the influx of new players, prices would rise even more.
Besides the increased difficulty in leveling up, the massive influx of new players would make resource competition fiercer, driving prices even higher. Since Divine Realms: Legends had just evolved, and people hadn't noticed yet, Eric could buy up and stockpile resources, selling them later when prices soared.
If some large guilds knew about this, they would surely become the town's overlords, while Eric could only make a profit.
Compared to guilds, individuals couldn't compete in resource acquisition. Guilds, with their numbers, could easily gather many rare resources in no time. Although Eric knew how to acquire resources, he could only gather so much alone. By the time he gathered resources, others would have surpassed his level, and he could only buy from the auction house.
"Excuse me, are you interested in making some extra money?" a level 0 Berserker asked with a smile.
Eric was wearing a Silver Moon Outfit, and his weapon was of Mithril grade. Although new players weren't qualified to see Eric's level, they could tell from his high-quality gear that he was a top player.
"Extra money?" Eric turned to see a newcomer. Some wealthy players often hired top players to help with tasks, offering substantial credits as payment. Eric was somewhat interested in making extra money. "Tell me more."
"It's simple. I need you to level me up. I'm not stingy; 100 credits per level. If you can help me catch up quickly, I'll give you another 1,000 credits. How about that?" the Berserker said proudly.
Eric frowned slightly and said, "Sorry, I don't have time. Find someone else."
He had too much to do, not only maintaining his level but also making money and preparing for his future guild to dominate Silvervale City.
Just for the items from the auction house would cost him tens of thousands of credits. Wasting time to help a complete newbie catch up for a mere 1,000 credits wasn't worth it.
After saying that, Eric turned and left, heading to the bank to store his items.
"Wait..." the Berserker called out, but Eric ignored him, making the Berserker furious. "Damn, who do you think you are? If you won't help, someone else will. You'll regret it."
"Looking for a top player to help level up, 100 credits per level. This offer won't last forever," the Berserker shouted again.
But no veteran player paid him any attention.
"This newbie is hilarious. My stomach hurts from laughing," a level 5 advanced player Ranger said, laughing as he passed by.
"Ignore him. There are always dumb newbies. We don't have time for this. Let's buy some bread and potions before the team leader scolds us," the advanced player's companion said urgently.
"I know, I just think he's an idiot. He really thinks Divine Realms: Legends is a simple game where you level up in minutes. Even for 1,000 credits per level, I wouldn't do it, let alone 100 credits. Leveling up takes thousands of credits," the Ranger sneered.
In the early stages, everyone was rushing to level up, afraid of falling behind and missing their chance to stand out. No one would waste time helping newbies, especially not for 100 credits. Now, a level 5 advanced player could earn over 1 silver a day, which was more than 100 credits. If they were lucky and got a Common Level equipment drop, that would be worth hundreds of credits. For top players, it was even more. No one would lack that small amount of money.
Upon hearing this, the Berserker was taken aback. He discerned that the Ranger was not in jest. He merely represented the company as an employee. In previous virtual games, he would spend some money to get help leveling up, and many people would rush to help for 30-50 credits. Now, no one paid attention to him for 100 credits. It turned out that leveling up cost thousands of credits, almost his monthly salary.
Mocking by these veterans made him quite upset; his face turned red with embarrassment.
Other newbies looking for top players to help level up also fell silent, their faces burning with shame. They quietly went to find quests and decided to level up on their own.
Meanwhile, Eric was frantically buying up rare resources at the auction house. After spending all his money, he breathed a sigh of relief and put the Glowing Outfit Design Blueprint up for auction with a starting price of 2 gold.
"Now it's time to get the Frost Azure Flame." After finishing his tasks, Eric changed his appearance and prepared to collect the rare flame. With the early evolution of the game, other players might get it first. To seize this chance, he decided to get it as soon as possible.
