Chapter 46: Gaining Reputation Again
Chapter 46: Gaining Reputation Again
“As you know, I inherited a special bloodline, so I could summon the Divine Punishment Witch. I am not originally from Earl Town, and I disguised my identity to avoid being disturbed. I come from Katherine Territory under Shadow City’s jurisdiction and am the heir to Katherine Territory. For certain reasons, I had to leave Katherine Territory and settle in Earl Town. If you agree to my condition, I can give you the inheritance rights to Katherine Territory.”
Enoch thought briefly, organized his words, and spoke slowly.
The inheritance rights to a territory? So if he agreed to her condition, he would become the lord in the game?
The problem was that owning a territory seemed useless to him… No, if he became the lord of Katherine Territory, he could attempt many experiments that were previously impossible.
Moreover, if he didn’t take the territory inheritance rights, Enoch probably couldn’t offer anything else.
Under these circumstances, he reluctantly accepted the territory inheritance rights.
“Alright, what is your condition?” Chen Mo immediately asked.
“In Katherine Territory, there are some belongings left by the previous lord, my father. If you successfully become the lord of Katherine Territory, I want to retrieve those items.” Enoch looked at Chen Mo with determined eyes.
“No problem.” Chen Mo nodded in agreement.
Though he didn’t know what Enoch intended to retrieve, it didn’t matter. He just needed to become the lord so he could use the lord’s identity for various experiments.
“This is the Katherine Territory inheritance contract. When you decide to inherit Katherine Territory someday, please be sure to notify me.” Enoch felt relieved; she was very worried that this adventurer before her would not agree.
System Notification: You obtained the item “Katherine Territory Inheritance Rights Contract”!
Katherine Territory Inheritance Rights Contract: Special item, cannot be traded. Possessing this contract allows inheritance of Katherine Territory.
“I gave you the contract. Now quickly fulfill your promise and release me!” Then, Enoch glared angrily at Chen Mo.
“Of course, Miss Enoch. My credibility is well-known among human adventurers.” Chen Mo talked nonsense casually. Since he would still need to trade with Enoch in the future, it was better to improve her favorability, even though Enoch’s favorability towards him was definitely negative right now.
Chen Mo untied the rope from Enoch’s hands, helped her put on her clothes, and said, “Miss Enoch, please untie the remaining rope yourself. I have something to attend to and must leave now.”
After saying that, Chen Mo took a few steps out of the room and used the Camouflage Skill.
Now that he was equipped with the Fallen One title, if discovered by NPCs within the town, he didn’t know if he would be arrested. Of course, the most important thing was that his enslavement level towards Enoch had reached 10 points. Chen Mo didn’t understand enslavement level well, but he knew that in the eyes of NPCs, this was definitely not a good thing. Although Chen Mo was very curious about what would happen if he was caught with an enslavement level, he still had things to do and couldn’t afford to be arrested just yet.
Using the Camouflage Skill, Chen Mo quietly left Earl Town.
In the starter village, the biggest task was already completed, but Chen Mo still had two more things to do.
The first one, naturally, was related to the Glacier Game Club and the Flame Three-Headed Wolf.
This matter was important, but the time hadn’t come yet. There were still nearly nineteen hours before the Glacier Game Club attacked the Flame Three-Headed Wolf, so Chen Mo wasn’t in a hurry.
The second matter was what he needed to do now. He had already decided on this earlier, but only now did Chen Mo feel confident enough to proceed.
The difficulty of this task might only be slightly lower than the secret rendezvous quest!
“Haha, brave adventurer, would you be willing to help me guard my precious Jade Pheasants from the attacks of the Vulture Hawks? If you complete my commission, I, Bude, will not treat you poorly!”
Chen Mo went to the left side of the wilds outside Earl Town and found Bude, the place where he had obtained the Fallen One title.
“Of course, I am willing.” Chen Mo accepted the quest. Bude waved his hand cheerfully and sent Chen Mo into the quest instance dungeon.
The quest officially began. A proud Jade Pheasant appeared on the grassy field of the instance dungeon. The Vulture Hawk in the blue sky suddenly dived down. Without even looking, Chen Mo shot an arrow at the Jade Pheasant.
System Notification: You maliciously killed a quest protection target. World Reputation decreased by 10 points!
…
System Notification: You maliciously killed a quest protection target. World Reputation decreased by 10 points!
…
One system notification after another appeared, and Chen Mo’s World Reputation quickly reached negative 100 points!
System Notification: Your World Reputation value has decreased to -100. All functional NPCs will refuse to serve you. Upon death, you will resurrect in the “Land of Exile”!
“Bastard, what have you done?!”
Just like last time, after the system notification appeared, Bude rushed in furiously.
Last time, Chen Mo was completely helpless against Bude. But now, with his top-tier equipment, Chen Mo was not afraid of Bude at all.
In his estimation, Bude’s combat power was not even as strong as Enoch’s!
Call of the Slime King!
However, Chen Mo didn’t dare to underestimate his enemy. He quickly retreated and summoned the Mutant Slime.
A black Mutant Slime appeared.
Bude was a fatty, and his speed was even slower than Enoch’s. He couldn’t keep up with Chen Mo at all. Chen Mo used the black Mutant Slime, and for a while, Bude couldn’t get close to Chen Mo. Instead, Chen Mo’s crossbow bolts caused Bude’s health to continuously drop.
“You despicable guy! I asked you to protect my treasures, but not only did you slaughter them, you also attacked me! You’re finished! There will be no place for you in the human world from now on!” Bude roared angrily.
Chen Mo ignored him and just kept attacking with his crossbow bolts.
Just kidding, he dared to come here prepared to die! He wanted to grind negative World Reputation until the end of time, becoming the player with the most negative World Reputation in the game!
When he found out that negative 100 World Reputation would grant the Fallen One title, Chen Mo had thought about capturing Bude and continuously grinding negative reputation in the instance dungeon. However, his strength wasn’t sufficient before, so he could only think about it. But now that he had enough strength, no matter what, he had to give it a try!
As long as he obtained the achievement title, he wasn’t afraid of having too much negative World Reputation. After all, he was going to die anyway.
Negative 100 World Reputation gave the Fallen One achievement. He wondered what achievements he would get for negative 1000 or negative 10000?
“Bastard! Villain! I will kill you!” Bude roared repeatedly, but he couldn’t stop his health from continuously dropping.
His body was large, and his health was quite substantial. Chen Mo estimated his health to be at least over 150,000, and his defense was high. Chen Mo’s crossbow attacks could only deal sixty to seventy damage. However, Toxin Damage ignored defense. With each instance of Toxin Damage, Bude’s health dropped rapidly.
“Get away, you pitch-black thing!”
After losing twenty to thirty thousand health, Bude finally became enraged and started using skills.
His body swelled up like a meatball and suddenly charged towards the black Mutant Slime on the ground!
This move didn’t deal much damage, but if it hit, the enemy would be knocked back over ten meters.
But the next moment, Bude couldn’t help but widen his eyes in shock.
His meatball charge hit this pitch-black monster, but the monster didn’t react at all!
The black Mutant Slime stared foolishly at Bude. Was he joking? Did he know how dense it was and how heavy it weighed? Its defense was so abnormal entirely because its density was incredibly high.
When one move failed, Bude had a second one. He suddenly stopped, lifted his right foot, and it rapidly expanded!
Chen Mo raised an eyebrow and without hesitation shouted, “Roar of the Slime King!”
Using the Roar of the Slime King, the moment Bude stomped his foot on the ground, Chen Mo also jumped up suddenly.
BOOM!!!
A loud noise echoed. Under Bude’s stomp, the green ground actually rippled like water several times in a row!
“That was close! This guy isn’t easy to deal with either!”
Chen Mo secretly wiped sweat from his forehead. Fortunately, he reacted quickly. The black Mutant Slime couldn’t jump in time and instantly suffered seven instances of damage from this move. If it were Chen Mo, without using Roar of the Slime King to increase his jump height, he would have suffered at least four instances of damage.
The black Mutant Slime lost 5 health points each time, which was quite astonishing. If this happened to Chen Mo, he would definitely be dead.
However, it seemed Bude only had these two skills. Chen Mo wouldn’t let him have a chance to hit him with the meatball charge, and for the earthquake-like skill, Chen Mo had Roar of the Slime King, so Bude had no way to deal with Chen Mo.
Five minutes later, Bude’s health was reduced to just 1 point, and he lay severely injured on the ground. Chen Mo went over and skillfully tied him up in a few moves.
