50: The first player to leave the Novice Village

Mingyue Village, Blacksmith Shop.

Li Si clicked on the first update.

The Economic System Change: To stabilize the All Heavens Game's economic system, the regional trading house has been completely closed, and the exchange channel between RMB and All Heavens currency has also been closed. Players can set up stalls for trade and create their own shops.

Why close the trading house?

Li Si couldn't understand this point, but it had nothing to do with him, so he didn't pay too much attention.

He continued to click on the second update.

The Era of Universal Gaming: Governments of various countries have funded the provision of All Heavens Game login bracelets for all citizens aged 16 and above. Players who have already purchased a login bracelet will receive a full refund of 10,000 RMB. If the refund is not received, please contact your local financial bureau.

Refunding the purchase money for the All Heavens login bracelet.

Li Si already knew about this, and the purchase funds had already arrived.

He continued to look at the third update.

Specific Implementation of the Era of Universal Gaming: A minimum of 4 hours online daily and a minimum of 40 hours online weekly are required. Otherwise, players will be detained by the local police and must make up for their online time in the detention center.

"...This is outrageous."

Li Si truly hadn't expected this point.

It was actually mandatory detention.

Aren't they afraid of causing public outrage? But at the same time, Li Si became even more convinced of the All Heavens Game's importance. For the national machinery to go to such lengths, All Heavens is definitely not just a game, but a product of the extraordinary era.

He then continued to click on the fourth update.

Novice Village Closure: Novice Village will close in seven days. Players must reach level 20 and leave Novice Village within seven days, or their characters will be forcibly deleted and they will have to re-create them. New players will no longer be born in Novice Village but will enter a main city based on their real-world location.

"...Seven days, huh?"

Li Si murmured to himself.

For him, seven days was enough. It was only 30 quests. With Great Teleportation Technique saving travel time, he could complete at least 10 quests a day. In at most three days, he could complete all 30 quests and obtain the Honorary Villager title.

So, this update also had no impact on him.

But other players, who didn't know about the Honorary Villager, didn't see it that way.

"Hahaha... That damned Lawless Madman. You little brat, let you be smug for seven more days. After seven days, you'll recreate your character, and I don't believe you'll still get a BT talent." In the level 5 leveling area's farmland, Fengyun Heavy Cavalry laughed triumphantly.

"Lawless Outlaw, you should be able to find a way to leave Novice Village without reaching level 20, right?" Qian Duoduo looked worriedly after seeing the fourth update.

This was his main support, and his main support was about to be gone. How could he not be anxious?

"Ding!"

"Friend – Qian Duoduo has sent a private message. Would you like to view it immediately?"

Qian Duoduo's message.

Li Si chose to view it.

Qian Duoduo: "Lawless Outlaw, did you see the fourth item in this update? Can you leave Novice Village within seven days?"

"Don't worry, I can leave." Li Si replied.

"Good that you can leave. I won't disturb you from checking the updates, Lawless Outlaw. I still need to level up and try to reach level 20 within two days." After this message, Qian Duoduo disappeared.

He must have gone to level up.

Li Si was happy to be at ease and checked the fifth update.

Activity: Newborn Sprout – Master-Disciple System: After players enter the main city, they will automatically be assigned a disciple. Bring your disciple to level 20 within three days to receive experience rewards. Bring your disciple to level 20 within seven days for no reward. If your disciple does not reach level 20 within seven days, your current level 1 experience will be deducted, and then 1 level of experience will be deducted daily until you bring your disciple to level 20. Players can actively take on more disciples; bringing more disciples to level 20 can unlock more rewards.

"...Disciple?"

This update left Li Si dumbfounded.

All Heavens actually released a master-disciple system. Not only did he not expect this, but probably no player did.

To be honest, this update was a bit abstract.

"Teach a disciple?"

Guiding a disciple and helping them achieve fame and success also seemed pretty good.

Thinking this, Li Si checked the last update.

Gorgeous Appearance – Fashion: All Heavens Game has updated fashion. Basic models can be purchased in NPC shops; basic fashion has no attributes and only changes the player's appearance. There are also more advanced attribute fashions that have a certain chance of being obtained by killing high-level bosses, completing hidden quests, and so on.

"...Fashion, huh?"

Li Si was quite curious about this update.

Because his face was too handsome and too noticeable, after the divine battle under the Old Willow Tree, almost half of Mingyue Village knew him. He didn't want to be stared at wherever he went, surrounded by players, or even cause road congestion.

"Let's go, time to buy fashion."

He had finished reading the six updates. It was a good time to visit the fashion shop; maybe he could even stumble upon a hidden quest.

Li Si opened the map of Mingyue Village.

He found that the fashion shop was a newly appeared location that he hadn't visited before, so he couldn't use Great Teleportation Technique. However, the fashion shop was very close to the blacksmith shop, on the same street.

So, he didn't think about using Great Teleportation Technique and walked there instead.

...

Mingyue Village outskirts.

Northern Mad Blade had already walked near the Mingyue Village barrier.

"Hahaha... I wonder if there will be an announcement for the first player to leave Novice Village." Northern Mad Blade's expression was full of anticipation.

"There should be, right?" Northern Heavy Sword said thoughtfully.

"There was an announcement for the first player to kill a green elite, so of course there will be one for the first to leave Novice Village." Northern Curse Master said with absolute certainty, believing it without a doubt.

"The barrier is just ahead; we'll reach it in at most a minute. Then the result will be clear at a glance." Northern Swift Crossbow quickened his pace.

"What's the rush? The sixth-ranked player on Mingyue Village's level leaderboard is only level 18, still far from level 20. Not to mention other Newbie Villages; they probably haven't even completed their main quests." Northern Milk God said.

The main quest's divine battle took place around seven or eight in the evening, which was peak online time for players. Therefore, most of the top-ranked players in Mingyue Village were online, and apart from the five of them, the highest level among other offline players was only 18.

"Let's still hurry, just in case something unexpected happens." Northern Swift Crossbow stuck to his conviction.

"Heh heh..."

Northern Milk God sneered upon hearing this, then said, "Xun Nu, you just want to be the first to leave Novice Village, get on the announcement, and claim the reward. What 'something unexpected happens'? It's just an excuse. I know what you're thinking, aren't you just trying to get on the announcement and become famous, wanting All Heavens Know-It-All to rate you as a super player, and then rise to prominence in one fell swoop?" Northern Milk God's voice grew even colder at this moment.

"Is that so?"

Northern Mad Blade and the others' expressions also turned cold.

"Absolutely not!!"

Northern Swift Crossbow roared, his eyes red.

The saying, 'One monk carries water, two monks carry water, three monks have no water to drink,' was perfectly illustrated here. Northern Swift Crossbow finally understood.

"Heh heh, whether it is or not, you know best. If it's not, then let me be the first to walk out of the barrier." Northern Milk God stated his true objective.

"No, I don't agree." Northern Heavy Sword immediately refused.

"I also want to be the first to walk out of the Mingyue Village barrier." Northern Curse Master said coldly.

"Who's first?"

"As the captain, it should naturally be me first. If there's another chance to get on the announcement later, then it'll be your turn." Northern Mad Blade said.

"I don't agree."

"I don't agree either!"

"..."

Just as the few of them were fiercely arguing over who would be the first to walk out of the Novice Village barrier...

An announcement suddenly refreshed—

"Ding!"

"Xia Country Announcement: Congratulations to player -- Endless Corpse Hand, for being the first to leave Novice Village, receiving the reward item -- skill comprehension book (Gold)."

"Xia Country Announcement: Congratulations to player -- Endless Corpse Hand, for being the first to leave Novice Village, receiving the reward item -- skill comprehension book (Gold)."

"Xia Country Announcement: Congratulations to player -- Endless Corpse Hand, for being the first to leave Novice Village, receiving the reward item -- skill comprehension book (Gold)."

The system prompt furiously refreshed ten times before the players' eyes.

At this moment, all the major Novice Villages erupted.

"Super player is amazing!!"

"It was Endless Corpse Hand who was the first to leave Novice Village!"

"Crazy God's Mingyue Village was the first to complete the main quest, so I thought Crazy God would be the first to leave Novice Village. I didn't expect it to be Endless Corpse Hand; my Brother Hand is still amazing."

"It couldn't have been Crazy God anyway. Crazy God is permanently stuck at level 1, so he probably can't leave Novice Village."

...
