Chapter 14 – Let the Blood Spill over Ba Huang

Shout out to Freespot who helped me translate this chapter! Also, sorry if the writing's a bit rough in this chapter, it's late at night and I'm super tired.

There were countless players around and in Ba Huang City. Outside in the forests, there were thousands if not tens of thousands of players fighting Vampire Bats and other monsters. Inside the city, there were countless players selling items.

A level 10 White trash-tier coat was selling for 5 Silver coins! I didn't think anyone was going to buy that. After all, a coat with 5 defense really didn't have many uses or retained its value, and money was so precious right now that one would've been better off buying some potions and raising one's level.

There were quite a few people in front of the Pharmacies, Blacksmith Forges and Training Halls, but there wasn't anyone on their way to the meet the lord of the city, other than me. It looked like everyone was busy trying gain an advantage over one another and weren't planning to pay their respects to the lord.

.....

The blood red path to the city hall was guarded by soldiers wearing black armor that didn't shine under sunlight. Inside the city hall was a sword-wielding general, the feudal lord of Ba Huang City. The Chinese server of <Destiny> only had three secondary cities and one main city, which meant he was one of the highest ranking officials in the Chinese sever.

I walked forward and courteously said: "My lord, I would like to become an adventurer for Ba Huang City..."

The lord who had a huge beard, with his hand on his sword, swept his eyes over me: "Young man, do you really want to become a member of Ba Huang? Are you willing to defend this city to your last breath?"

I nodded: "Yes"

"Good, come over here, you will now become a member of Ba Huang City."

Paa. The lord's hand, covered with a gauntlet, patted my shoulder. The strength that the hand used was far greater than my imagination. Under his pat, I winced at the pain in my shoulders but at the same time a familiar ringing sound rang beside my ear-

Ding!

System Notification: Congratulations, you have joined Ba Huang City as an adventurer and received the right to use recall scrolls for Ba Huang City. In addition, you have received Ba Huang City's City badge – [Let the Blood Spill over Ba Huang] ...

Shua!

A badge of a bloody battle knife appeared on my shoulder. I'm guessing that it was Ba Huang City's unique badge. The badge granted a City Buff – [Let the Blood Spill Over Ba Huang]: Anyone who wore this badge would receive a 3% increase in attack and defense!

Hmph, choosing Ba Huang City as my home city had paid off. I wonder what effect the badges from Fan Shu City and Jiu Li City had. I would remember to ask Lin Wan Er and Dong Cheng Yue next time I saw them.

After registering as an adventurer of Ba Huang, I left the City Hall since there was nothing more to keep me there.

But right when I was about to leave the City's gate to venture into the surrounding forest, a player yelled: "Buying a [Vampire Bat Illustration], I'll pay good money for it!"

[Vampire Bat Illustration]?

I opened my inventory. Hmm, after killing more than 20 bats, I had found 2 illustrations. One, I used myself while the other one was sitting snugly in my inventory. Therefore, I went up to the player buying the illustration. He was about 20 years old, level 13 and his game ID was [New Moon Merchant Number 4].
