Ring: Malorne's Oath of Allegiance

After a short rest, Yang Jian found the real-time updated rankings on his phone.

First place: Tianmu Zhenjun, Level 8, 46%, Class: Hunter, Guild: Star Palace (Guild Leader).

Second place: Yueyin Qingya, Level 8, 29%, Class: Mage, Guild: Star Palace (Vice Guild Leader).

Third place: Bi Luo Jing Feng Yu, Level 7, 84%, Class: Taoist.

Fourth place: Si Lian Jiang Chang, Level 7, 63%, Class: Taoist.

Fifth place: Laurence Rost, Level 7, 60%, Class: Warrior.

Sixth place: Sakura First Sword Saint, Level 7, 55%, Class: Warrior... 180,000 likes, over 400,000 comments... salvation has pretty much crushed all other entertainment on the market, attracting most of the attention.

This Bi Luo Jing Feng Yu is really something, he actually managed to catch up?

Most of the posts on Douyin were just complaints about not getting game slots.

The rest were all expressions of awe.

"The first and second places seem to have a bit of a cliff-like lead!"

"Hey, haven't you noticed that all the top players are online at night in game time? There's a Blood Moon Buff!"

"When will the second batch of game slots be opened? I'm waiting until the flowers wither..."

"Does Star Palace recruit? When I get into the game, I want to join too!"

"Yes, but the conditions are quite strict... It's entirely based on individual assessment, I suggest everyone boycott Star Palace, when our Dihau Guild is established, you can come to us!"

"Heh heh, the abacus beads on the floor above are practically hitting me in the face!"

"However, Star Palace's conditions are indeed not low; blue talent and above can join unconditionally, only needing to follow a few strict rules! But for those below blue..."

"The only guild, and it's so strong..."

"Seventh Heaven is recruiting, come and be brothers!"

"Upstairs, how do I apply to join?"

..."Why did he go silent?"

He closed the level rankings and looked at the other leaderboards.

The equipment ranking was almost uninteresting; the best items currently available were purple equipment.

Even Zhou Yue didn't have orange equipment, which shows that such equipment doesn't exist before level ten.

Of course, Yang Jian was overthinking; after all, he hadn't even managed to leave the Newbie Village yet.

After playing on the computer for a while, it was still dark outside.

Knock, knock, knock.

"Come in!"

Yang Jian didn't even lift his head, continuing to look at game-related information.

With two hundred million players, even if their levels aren't high, there are always some with big enough ideas.

"How's the game experience?"

Bai Youyou was curious.

"You didn't even lift your head, how did you know it was me?"

"A game studio, I give them full autonomy, no one comes to me to report on work..."

"Zhou Yue doesn't come either?"

"She doesn't knock..."

Bai Youyou: ..."Your relationship is still so good! There's no room for anyone else..."

Yang Jian finally looked up at her.

"Sister, saying that makes it easy for me to misunderstand that you have feelings for me!"

"I do have feelings!"

Yang Jian carefully scrutinized the 28-year-old mature woman in front of him.

Her beauty and charm were undeniable.

She was even three points more beautiful than the young Zhou Yue.

But for men, in their youth, they don't appreciate older women, mistakenly valuing young girls as treasures.

The key is that Yang Jian is still young now!

And he hadn't completely conquered the wild mare Zhou Yue, he was also afraid that being too reckless would lead to losing everything!

"I've always wondered, with your conditions, Sister Youyou, what kind of man couldn't you find?"

"The 'hero saving the beauty' trope has been played for thousands of years and people still love to watch it, of course, there's a reason... Back then, that scoundrel Hu Zonghai, in order to get a kidney, set his sights on Xiao Bai, who was his own granddaughter..."

Whenever old memories were brought up, Bai Youyou would always grit her teeth.

Speaking of this, Yang Jian also recalled the difficulties they faced back then.

After offending the Hu Group from Tianfu, they endured a period of hardship and targeting.

This was also the origin of the conflict between Zhou Yue and Bai Youyou.

Although she later recognized Bai Youyou's abilities, the harsh words she had spoken back then couldn't be unsaid.

As for how the crisis was resolved later?

Are you kidding me, you're asking a cheater about this?

Squatting at the entrance of the superior competent department for two days, helping a certain important person solve an unspeakable predicament... What is Tianyan for?

What's more, there was also Zhou Yue, the mascot!

Hu Zonghai had just made threats against Chuangsheng, and within three days his condition suddenly worsened, and he died within ten days despite treatment.

Then the Hu Group began a power struggle, who still had the mind to care about Chuangsheng... "Oh, are you reminiscing about the glorious past here?"

Bai Youyou chuckled lightly: "I thought you were joking, but you really don't knock!"

As soon as she said this, Yang Jian's scalp tingled.

Sure enough, the two began a new round of passive-aggressive remarks.

Fortunately, both of them knew their limits and had never challenged each other on serious matters, always cooperating fully.

At 7:40, people who came for interviews gradually entered the conference room.

Yang Jian had already sat in the small office next door, observing each person's talent.

Unexpectedly, he really found a promising talent.

Over a hundred people came, and Yang Jian wrote down the serial numbers and names of the twenty-one people he favored.

After handing them over to Zhou Yue, he left first, leaving the rest of the arrangements to them.

Yang Jian now had one goal.

Level up quickly, then go to the main city to find a way to establish a Guild Stronghold... Being half a step ahead is genius, being a full step ahead is foolish!

The guild token came too early; besides making recruitment smoother and allowing them to pick out hidden gems, it had almost no other significant use.

Ultimately, nineteen of the twenty-one people stayed.

Two people came with friends and stated that they would not stay if they were alone... So, they can all get lost then, what are they thinking?

Am I indispensable to you?

By the time these nineteen people were settled and entered the game, the number of players in the studio officially reached forty-six!

Further distinctions would also be made here.

Of course, this would happen after entering the game and everyone awakened their talents.

Those with good talents would naturally focus on leveling up.

Those with poorer talents could be assigned to Newbie Villages without major factions to collect copper coins, equipment, and skill books!

As for how this information was known?

Open Douyin, search for anything, and it's there!

salvation's popularity is off the charts right now, Douyin's reviewers are almost overwhelmed...

Why?

They're frantically deleting topics related to the Abyss's Descent.

However, netizens are clever and always find ways to bypass censorship... By the time Yang Jian logged in, intending to officially start fighting, it was already a bit late.

There was nothing he could do; he had originally decided to log off around two or three in the afternoon game time.

This would allow 'Tian Mu Zhenjun' to rest a bit longer.

Unfortunately, when it came to fighting bosses, he often couldn't help himself.

By the time Yang Jian logged in, his level had already dropped to second place.

Fortunately, the third place was still far from him.

Before logging off, Yang Jian had already prepared to fight monsters.

Now he could set off directly.

To level up at night, he could only go to the seaside; this time, he planned to bypass the Kobold Mines and see the scenery further away!

He exited the Newbie Village gate and headed east.

This time, it wasn't until he passed the wild wolf territory that he completely stopped seeing players!

After all, with improved teamwork and equipment, these small monsters, no matter how strong, were still just that!

If they were really that strong, Yang Jian wouldn't be able to fight monsters four or five levels higher than him.

He cast the skill, Travel Form.

Transforming into a leopard again, Yang Jian still hadn't fully adapted.

He practiced for a while before gradually starting to run on all fours.

If he wasn't adapted, why insist on using this skill?

[Skill: Travel Form (Equipment Effect)]

[Description: Transform into a leopard, remove all control skills, and increase your running speed by 50%]

With this effect, the transformation skill had to be mastered no matter what!

After all, learning riding skills required reaching level twenty!

Since this piece of equipment had such a good effect, Yang Jian decided to ignore Kassan's advice.

He checked the upgrade conditions for [malorne's oath of loyalty (White)].

[Condition One: Collect souls (0/500), requiring soul level not lower than host level.]

[Condition Two: Wisteria Wood * 10, Cat's Eye Stone * 10, Carnelian * 10]

[Condition Three: Lord's Soul 0/1]

Upgrading from White to Green requires so many things?

Yang Jian found it a bit hard to accept for a moment.

The monster-killing tasks weren't a big deal, but the materials looked quite tedious.

So far, he hadn't seen a single one!

He could only inquire about them when he reached the main city.

Seeing these upgrade conditions, one could imagine how desperate Carlisle must have been back then.

Bronze-level Bosses are hard to find, and even harder to defeat.

Currently, in the entire server, which Black-level Boss wasn't piled to death by major factions using human lives?

It's just that only first kills are broadcasted now; if they want to show off, they can only go to forums and short video platforms.

But currently, no one has the strength to pile to death a Lord monster.

Because they all have at least one unique skill... Putting himself in the shoes of Carlisle, who was new to the game back then, he could imagine how delighted he was to see this ring, and how desperate he became upon learning of the upgrade conditions.

He didn't know how long he had wasted for this ring, how many opportunities he had missed?
