“Oh my God, a messenger quest actually increased my level by 10 levels. This quest reward is way too generous!”
Mary was confused by the series of notifications in front of her.
The game had only started for an hour, and everyone was familiarizing themselves with the controls and the map.
It was rumored that some studio players and leveling maniacs would leave the city to kill monsters as soon as they logged into the game, but they were only level 3 now.
This was when the players from the same studio were responsible for killing the monsters until they had no HP left and the main players were responsible for the final harvest.
Mary, a player who had not even received a novice quest and had not even left the main city gate, had leveled up to level 10 in one go. It was too ridiculous.
[Ding. Congratulations to player Mary. You have successfully leveled up to level 10. You have gained +3 Reputation.]
[The Ranking System has been released.]
The system notification rang out, and the large bold, red font on the world channel remained there for a full 30 seconds before it disappeared.
All the players, whether they were desperately fighting monsters to level up or chatting in the hall, all put down the work in their hands and opened the system notification with a shocked expression.
“Who is Mary? How could she have leveled up to level 10 so quickly?”
“Sh*t, I found ten people to help me level up so that I could be the first one to level up to level 10 to complete the Class Change, but someone else beat me to it.”
“I heard that the first person to complete the Class Change will be rewarded by the system.”
“It’s impossible for someone to level up so quickly. Could it be that there’s a bug?”
“Wake up upstairs. This is a game that Blizzard spent ten years producing. How could there be a bug?”
“If they dare to launch the game without fair testing or internal testing, Blizzard has its own confidence. Rather than being jealous of others, it’s better to dig out the clues in the game.”
“I’ll pay 100,000 dollars for the method to quickly level up.”
The system announcement sounded three times, and then the entire world channel exploded.
Genesis was a masterpiece that Blizzard had honed over ten years. Whether it was the grandeur of the world, the architectural style, or the details of the job balance, it was enough to drive the players crazy.
In this era where fast-food-like games were the main body, such a conscientious work carried too many expectations.
At the beginning of the game planning, the officials had announced that some Easter eggs would be added to the game to increase the interest.
NPCs would use advanced artificial intelligence.
They would also have emotions and worries.
They would no longer just stand there and wait for the player to come over to receive the quest.
Instead, it was the same as in the real world, where quests were given out through business.
For example, at the beginning of the game, quests were given out by the old king. People helped collect animal skins, ores, and other materials to decorate the inauguration ceremony of the prince.
This was only one of the traditional quests that were given out so that the players could familiarize themselves with the game as soon as possible.
Everything that followed, including the Class Change, forging equipment, and subduing pets, had to be explored by the players themselves.
Therefore, although everyone was surprised that Mary could reach level 10 so quickly, it was still within their understanding.
Everyone knew that the fun of Genesis was more about teamwork and adventure than grinding monsters and leveling up.
Most of the people in the world channel were still expressing their envy.
There were very few people who really had the momentum, and soon, they were drowned in the crowd.
However, the message that said that the person would pay 100,000 USD for the rapid upgrade method made Mary hesitate for a long time.
As soon as the system notification sounded, Mary’s Friend System exploded.
The sound of hundreds of friend notifications in a minute almost caused Mary’s ears to shut down.
Mary knew that for a long time, her friend system would not be able to be used.
The 100,000 dollars made her very tempted. After all, she was about to face her college entrance exam.
If she had 100,000 dollars, she would not have to work in a hotel anymore.
She could also enjoy her vacation and have a sweet relationship.
Speaking of relationships, Mary suddenly thought of Walter.
Although she was a little disappointed to know that he was just an NPC, when she thought of his deep gaze, Mary could not help but feel her heart race.
It was as if there was a warm current surging in her chest.
“Forget it. I just helped deliver a letter. This kind of information is not worth 100,000 dollars.”
“Since I have the time to let my imagination run wild, I might as well go talk to him again. Perhaps there are other missions.”
Mary forced herself to convince herself that it was not because she did not want others to snatch Walter away from her that she would not sell the information.
Although it was a pity to lose 100,000 dollars, Mary could not help but feel elated.
The corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously. She hummed a little tune and ran back happily. However, Walter was nowhere to be seen.
“Where did he go?”
“Damn it, he gave me a mission. Shouldn’t he just stay where he is and wait for me to come back to report on the mission?”
Mary did not have much gaming experience, so she lost track of Walter.
Although Walter had social phobia, he was a complete gentleman.
If both parties agreed to meet at a certain place, Walter would wait even if Mary was late.
Unfortunately, Mary did not know what she had missed, so she could only vent her anger on the pebbles on the road.
“Mary, there you are!”
“Oh my God, I’ve finally found you. Why did your Friend System shut down? Do you know how long I’ve been looking for you!”
A girl with freckles ran over. She was Mary’s best friend, Lina.
Lina’s family was better off, so she did not have to work like Mary.
Lina, who was addicted to the Internet all day long, had watched seen the information pack of Genesis. She had successfully become one of the fans.
For girls her age, it did not matter whether the game was well-made or not. As long as Prince Walter’s face was online, it would be their goal.
In the information pack, Walter’s appearance was only five seconds.
For these girls, it was like five seconds in heaven.
Walter’s face was too good for the girls!
Whether it was that hesitant look in his eyes, that depressed temperament, or that mysterious past, they were all like precious food for the girls.
As soon as Lina entered the game, she ran frantically to the Imperial City, wanting to see Prince Walter, whom she had been longing for.
She had waited for more than an hour in vain, only then was she informed by the guards that the prince had something urgent to attend to and could not come.
Lina and the others did not have the slightest bit of complaint.
Instead, they felt that a person like Walter should be like this.
His Highness the Prince is so busy, yet he actually took the time to come out and meet us. This is really too considerate.
He pampered his fans too much. How could they not love such a prince?!
The girls collectively boiled over and performed a large-scale confession event in front of the imperial city. It was an eye-opener for the guards.
“Sh*t, you’re actually level 10. Were you the one who was mentioned in the world announcement just now, Mary?”
“You don’t even know how to share such a good thing. To think that I still treat you as my best friend.”
Lina chattered for a long time before she realized that her best friend was the lucky one in the system announcement. Then, she immediately lost her composure.
