After tying up Bude, Chen Mo immersed himself in killing Jade Pheasants. As each Jade Pheasant died, Chen Mo’s World Reputation plummeted dramatically.
System Notification: You maliciously killed a protected quest target! World Reputation decreased by 10 points!
System Notification: Your World Reputation has dropped to -1000. All friendly, lawful human NPCs will refuse to interact with you. Upon death, you will resurrect in the “Land of Exile”!
System Notification: You obtained the achievement title “Villain”!
Achievement Title: Villain
Description:
Strength +50
Constitution +50
Agility +50
Intelligence +50
Spirit +50
Movement Speed Cap +3
Special Effect: Once equipped, this title cannot be removed for 24 hours. While equipped, you cannot enter human cities. Upon death, you drop half of the equipment and items you carry, and your Level is forcibly reduced by 1. While this title is equipped, you gain favor with some special NPCs, receive special treatment in the Land of Exile and the City of Sin, and deal 10% more Damage to monsters in the Land of Exile and the City of Sin regions.
About sixteen minutes later, after Chen Mo killed one more Jade Pheasant, his World Reputation was immediately deducted to negative 1000, and he obtained the “Villain” title.
So negative one thousand reputation meant becoming a Villain. That guy Grisen was no ordinary person either—he had managed to push an NPC’s World Reputation to negative one thousand. The Flame Three-Headed Wolf he created must have been incredibly ferocious back then.
With a World Reputation of negative one thousand, the Villain achievement title was his. Compared to the Fallen One title, the attributes of the Villain title could be described as a massive surge!
Players only gained 15 attribute points per Level up, but the Villain title increased attributes by a full 250 points, equivalent to the attributes gained from 17 Levels!
The title attributes were powerful, but the risks that came with it were equally huge. If you died within 24 hours of equipping it, you would definitely lose half your equipment and items, and your Level would be forcibly reduced by 1. This penalty was even more severe than that for Blacklisted Players.
In the Game, when ordinary Players died, they lost 10% of the Experience Points needed for their current Level, with a small chance of dropping equipment and items. When Red-Named Players died, the death penalty was twice that of ordinary Players—losing 20% Experience Points per death. When Blacklisted Players died, the penalty was twice that of Red-Named Players—losing 40% Experience Points per death.
Under the Villain title, if a Player died once, the penalty was more than double that of a Blacklisted Player!
Chen Mo felt a bit disappointed. The punishment for the Villain title was too severe; it seemed there weren’t many chances to use it. However, it appeared that there were some benefits to equipping the Villain title in the Land of Exile and the City of Sin, places he hadn’t visited before. He just didn’t know what this so-called special treatment was. If he had the chance, he could go check it out later.
“Villain! You cruel and vicious Villain! My poor darlings—so many of them were killed by a Villain like you! I don’t want to live anymore!”
After lying on the ground for over ten minutes, Bude seemed to have recovered somewhat, but since Chen Mo had tied his hands and feet, he could only wail helplessly on the ground.
“Mr. Bude, that’s not right to say. Sooner or later, weren’t you going to kill and eat these Jade Pheasants anyway? I killed them early so they could be reborn sooner. That’s doing good deeds; I’m not a Villain, but a great benefactor.”
Killing Jade Pheasants alone was too monotonous, so Chen Mo leisurely chatted with Bude.
“Ignorant scoundrel! Who said I raised Jade Pheasants to kill and eat them! The most valuable thing about Jade Pheasants is the eggs they lay! Every Jade Egg is like a jade pearl, extremely precious! By killing so many Jade Pheasants, do you have any idea how many Jade Eggs you’ve destroyed?” Bude roared angrily.
“How precious are they?” Chen Mo asked curiously; he genuinely didn’t know.
“I have one on me. Take one and see for yourself!” Bude said hurriedly.
This Adventurer must not know how valuable Jade Eggs are—that’s why he slaughtered his treasures like this. If he knew, he definitely wouldn’t do it!
System Notification: You obtained 1 “Jade Egg”!
Chen Mo searched Bude and indeed found an egg.
Jade Egg: Rare item, possesses strong recovery and support effects. Upon use by a Player, the following effects last for 10 minutes:
Instantly restores 3000 HP
Instantly restores 3000 MP
HP cap +1000
MP cap +1000
Strength +30
Constitution +30
Agility +30
Intelligence +30
Spirit +30
Movement Speed Cap +4
Attack Speed +20%
Experience gained from killing monsters +100%
This item can only be used once per day.
Damn!
Even for Chen Mo, who had single-handedly defeated over a dozen mutant BOSSes and was equipped with top-tier gear, he couldn’t stay calm after seeing the Jade Egg’s Attributes.
The Attributes of this Jade Egg were just too amazing!
That long list of Attributes—if it weren’t a one-time use item, it could probably rival the legendary Divine Artifacts!
The recovery effects and increased Player Attributes at the front were one thing—other items could achieve that. For example, he could drink a few low-level mutation Potions to get similar effects.
The craziest part was the last effect: Experience from killing monsters increased by 100%!
That was the legendary double Experience. Nothing like it had ever appeared on the Forum—its rarity went without saying. If he used Jade Eggs every day while killing monsters, his Level would skyrocket like a rocket.
However, this amazing item still had a limitation: only one could be used per day.
Even with this restriction, it couldn’t hide the Jade Egg’s incredible Attributes. If Jade Eggs appeared on the market, countless Players would eagerly seek them.
No wonder he lost ten points of World Reputation for every Jade Pheasant he killed. It turned out these Jade Pheasants really weren’t ordinary rare creatures.
But who would have thought that such an amazing item was hidden in the Starter Village!
“So, are Jade Eggs precious enough? But the true value of Jade Eggs isn’t just what you see on the surface. If a skilled cook uses Jade Eggs, they can create even rarer delicacies!” Bude quickly explained, hoping Chen Mo would stop slaughtering the Jade Pheasants.
They could be turned into even better items using cooking skills?
The Jade Eggs’ Attributes were already so amazing now—after cooking, how ridiculously good would their Attributes become?
Chen Mo couldn’t help but feel a bit curious.
“It’s passable, Mr. Bude. Do you have any more? Give me a few extra.” Chen Mo nodded calmly.
This item was too rare, and he didn’t know where else to get it besides the Starter Village. He needed to find a way to get more from Bude.
“Yes! Of course, I have more! If you release me now and stop killing my darlings, I can give you some!” Bude agreed without hesitation; this was exactly the reaction he wanted.
“I don’t believe you. I’m afraid you’ll trick me. Give me a few first to prove you still have them on you.” Chen Mo pretended not to believe him.
“I—I’ll give you five more. After you take them, stop immediately, and once we’re out, I’ll give you another fifty!” Bude hesitated for a moment but then made up his mind.
In just over ten minutes, Chen Mo had already killed more than a hundred Jade Pheasants. If he kept killing, the Jade Pheasants he had painstakingly raised would be wiped out.
System Notification: You obtained 5 “Jade Eggs”!
“Alright, you have the eggs. Stop now!” Bude shouted.
“Okay!”
Chen Mo nodded, walked closer to Bude, and without another word, took out a cloth and stuffed it into Bude’s mouth. Then he turned back and calmly continued killing Jade Pheasants.
The Jade Eggs were good, but brother here was more interested in finding out what other crazy achievement titles were still to come.
