Chapter 1668 – Primordial City’s Entrance Test

Shi Feng moved through the tranquil forest and proceeded towards the coordinates the scouting Assassin sent him . Very quickly, he came across a clearing that was abounding with Mana, so much that it had even condensed into a white mist that enveloped the area .

What amazing Mana .  Shi Feng was startled as he moved through the white mist .

While he stood within the white mist, not only did his mind become much clearer than before, but even his Stamina and Concentration recovery rates skyrocketed . The recovery rates were at least four times higher than what one would experience inside hotels of NPC cities .

If players were to practice combat in such an environment, the results would be wondrous . Training here would be particularly effective .

In his previous life, while part of the reason why players loved places with high Mana density was the ease in exhibiting their combat standards there, a more important reason was the much greater efficiency in practicing and learning combat techniques .

Although combat techniques did not consume Mana, they did take a toll on the user’s Stamina and Concentration . Meanwhile, unlike Basic Attributes, Hidden Attributes like Stamina and Concentration were not displayed using numerical values . Players could only rely on their own senses to determine how much Stamina and Concentration they had remaining .

If players fought normally inside major NPC cities, their Stamina and Concentration consumption would be roughly equal to their regeneration rates . Hence, players could fight in arenas to their heart’s content without worrying about becoming exhausted . However, it was a different story if players started incorporating combat techniques in battle .

Combat techniques placed a significant burden on Stamina and Concentration . Executing a Basic Combat Technique would cost roughly four to five times more Stamina and Concentration than executing a simple attack . Hence, if players continuously executed Basic Combat Techniques, even when fighting or practicing inside a city, they would very quickly exhaust their Stamina and Concentration . Needless to say, the depletion rate for executing Advanced Combat Techniques was even more severe .

Hence, high-Mana density locations were extremely popular among experts of God’s Domain during Shi Feng’s previous life .

In the current God’s Domain, combat techniques had yet to be popularized . If they had, though, Zero Wing City’s player population would’ve long since shot past 10,000,000 .

This was also one of the reasons behind Shi Feng’s decision to sell Basic Combat Techniques to the public right now .

If only a small number of people are allowed to enter Primordial City, it won’t be a bad idea to have the ones left out remain here to practice combat techniques .  Taking a look at the mist-covered clearing, Shi Feng figured that there was more than enough space for 1,000 players to practice combat techniques here .

Places with high Mana density were extremely rare in God’s Domain, not to mention places with Mana so dense that it formed a mist . This small area was definitely a sacred training ground . Any superpower that discovered such a location would definitely do everything they could to monopolize it to nurture their own experts .

“Guild Leader, the NPC is over there . ” After Shi Feng arrived at the designated coordinates, a blue-clad Assassin approached him . The Assassin then pointed at the old man standing inside a magic array a short distance away . The elder wore a set of white robes and held a golden staff in his right hand .

Looking at this elder, Shi Feng found that the old man did not exude any kind of powerful aura and looked very ordinary .

However, when Shi Feng tried inspecting him, he failed to get any information about the elder—not even the old man’s name . Everything was displayed in question marks .

Following which, Shi Feng used Omniscient Eyes to observe the old man .

…

[Tyrol (Primordial City’s Protector)] (Hero, Divine Mage)

Level ? ? ?

HP ? ? ? ? ? ?/ ? ? ? ? ? ?

…

A Hero? Shi Feng could not help but be stunned .

He had never imagined that he would actually meet a living, breathing Hero .

In God’s Domain, Heroes had long since vanished into legend . The Hero standing before him right now was something entirely different from the Heroes summoned using Hero’s Chapters . More precisely, the Heroes summoned using Hero’s Chapters were Heroic Spirits, not true Heroes . Even so, they were still incomparably powerful and more than capable of safeguarding an entire town or city by themselves .

However, a true Hero was on an entirely different level compared to a Heroic Spirit . Unlike Heroic Spirits, true Heroes still retained the blessing they received from Ancient Gods; therefore, their Life Rating was even higher than that of Archaic Species . Moreover, Heroes possessed extraordinary combat standards . Hence, if one did not utilize any special techniques, even 100 Tier 5 players would not be enough to take down a living Hero at their peak .

A Hero was an existence that was truly capable of turning the tide of battle with their strength alone .

Although seeing a living Hero excited Shi Feng greatly, when he noticed the Hero’s identity as Primordial City’s Protector, he quickly suppressed his excitement and approached the elder .

The moment Shi Feng set foot into the magic array, Tyrol opened his eyes abruptly and disappeared from where he stood . In the next moment, he appeared before Shi Feng and quietly scrutinized the youth before him .

When Shi Feng felt Tyrol’s gaze on him, he felt as if his entire existence was under examination . However, he was not particularly surprised by this situation . Primordial City was a blessing of the Ancient Gods . Players belonging to forces deemed hostile by the Ancient Gods, such as the forces of darkness, should not even think of setting foot into Primordial City . If any of these players were discovered, they would be eliminated immediately .

“Young man, you’ve done well to reach this place . I am Tyrol, a Protector of Primordial City,” Tyrol said, revealing a faint smile and giving Shi Feng a nod of approval . “If you wish to enter Primordial City, you have to pass the entrance test . Moreover, you have only three chances to challenge it . If you fail all three, you can only try again during your next visit to the Primordial Divine Ruin . ”

“Lord Protector, may I know the contents of the test?” Shi Feng asked respectfully .

“It’s a simple test . All you need to do is defeat yourself,” Tyrol replied, smiling . “Of course, there are also differences in difficulty . The more difficult the test you challenge, the more Contribution Points you will obtain once you arrive in Primordial City .

“There are five different difficulties available: Normal, Hard, Hell, Asura, and God . Meanwhile, the Contribution Points you will gain from them are 1,000, 2,000, 3,000, 5,000, and 10,000, respectively . Each person has only three opportunities to challenge the test . You must cherish them . ”

Upon hearing Tyrol’s words, although Shi Feng kept his expression indifferent, inwardly, he was bursting with joy .

Similar to the city on Thunder Island, if players wished to mingle in Primordial City, they needed Contribution Points . Without Contribution Points, they could enjoy only the basic benefits the city offered and should not even think of obtaining the truly good stuff available .

Meanwhile, the reason why Shi Feng was excited was the large number of Contribution Points the entrance test awarded .

In his previous life, when he visited Primordial City, he did not do so by passing the entrance test but by using a teleportation ticket, which he had obtained through killing monsters . He had received only 500 Contribution Points in doing so .

However, with just 500 Contribution Points, one would be no different from a beggar inside Primordial City .

Of course, one’s Contribution Points would not remain the same forever . There were plenty of methods to earn Contribution Points . Completing quests was the simplest among them, though inefficient . Ordinary quests only granted around two to five points each, while high-ranking quests granted around 20 to 50 points each . However, high-ranking quests were extremely rare . Hence, collecting even 500 Contribution Points was very difficult .

Yet, now, even the Normal entrance test awarded 1,000 Contribution Points upon completion . The additional 500 points would save players plenty of time .

Moreover, this was also good news to Zero Wing’s members . It meant that everyone would have an opportunity to enter Primordial City .

“Young adventurer, have you decided to enter Primordial City?” Tyrol asked, smiling as he looked at Shi Feng .

“I am willing to accept the test!” Shi Feng nodded .

“Very good . May I know which difficulty you wish to choose?” Tyrol asked with a wave of his hand . Instantly, five crystal balls of different colors appeared before Shi Feng .

Aside from having different colors, these crystal balls also exuded auras of various intensities . Even the crystal ball with the weakest aura made Shi Feng shudder involuntarily, whereas the one with the strongest aura made him feel deep despair .
