Song Jian quickly emerged from the settlement space and entered the game;

“Huh, 1 remember when I left the game, I was on the top floor of the Tianfeng Building, so how come I’m back in the Manor Castle after re-entering the game?” Song Jian sat up from his bed with a slight frown.

System: When a player logs off, please save your current location as the login point. This way, you will log in from the current location when you reenter the game; otherwise, you will log in from the game’s default location (safe house); “Oh, 1 see!” Song Jian nodded. If he were to return to the safe house every time he entered the game, it would be embarrassing if he went to a distant location, arrived at the destination, and then, after the game time was up and he logged in again, found that he had wasted his previous journey.

Just then, a red liquid started to seep out slowly onto the wall opposite Song Jian. The liquid didn’t drip down; instead, it coagulated on the wall to form a few lines of text.

Main Quest: Swordsmanship

“Mission Brief: As a newly appointed Sword Controller, you’ve started to feel embarrassed about the number of sword skills you have. To become a true Sword Controller, you must master various sword skills. Only then can you become stronger and grow gradually!”

“Mission Goal: Master ten sword skills. Progress: 2/10”

“Mission Tip: There are many ways to acquire sword skills. You can get them from monsters or learn them from other swordsmen. You can even purchase them from the auction house!”

“Tip: The stronger the sword skill you master, the higher the completion degree of your main mission will be!”

“Tip: The higher level the monster, the higher chance it will drop high-level sword skills!”

!!..

“Tip: Humanoid monsters have a much higher probability of having sword skills than other monsters!”

“Warning: If you die in the game, your identity in the real world will also be erased!”

“You can view this mission in the mission bar at any time!”

The wall of blood letters emitted a faint glow for a few minutes before gradually disappearing, as if they were being reabsorbed into the wall.

“Ten sword techniques, this should not be very difficult for me.” Song Jian looked at the main objective, which he had already completed two-tenths of. It seems that the system had counted his “Sword Finger” and “Broken Wing Dance” as part of it, but the passive basic sword techniques weren’t included.

However, this was within Song Jian’s expectations. These basic passive abilities are easy to understand when you enter the game and are a kind of benefit for the players. But how powerful these passive abilities are is hard to say.

Inside the Manor’s Spirit Field, the Blood-soaked Spectral Poison Tree, Alex, is still in deep sleep. Its level has been upgraded to level thirteen, and its aura is gradually becoming stronger. A touch of coercion is being released around it, and its branches and leave veins are becoming more vibrant. They were originally a sallow shade mixed with a hint of dark red. But now, they are visibly turning blood-red.

The number of blood ravens on Alex seems to have decreased, perhaps only half of the usual. When they saw Song Jian, they didn’t react. They shrank their heads and stood on the tree. It took them quite a while to twist their necks, making them look just like statues.

All the other Spirit Fields were full of plants. This time, sweet potatoes and radishes were planted. They seemed to be growing well, and it wouldn’t be long before another harvesting ceremony could be held.

Compared with the Attribute Fruits dropped by monsters, the monthly harvesting ceremony has become Song Jian’s primary way of increasing his attribute points.

Outside the walls of the manor, a few zombies with red skin and ragged clothes were wandering around. As soon as any mutant zombie approached, these zombies would rush to fight them until the mutant zombie was eliminated;

These are the Blood Zombies bred after the Blood Pool was upgraded to level two. They have stronger bodies and faster speed than the level one mutant zombies. They don’t have their abilities halved during the day, and they have a blood-sucking ability when attacking, which can completely crush mutant zombies of the same level;

The most important thing is, these Blood Zombies can also upgrade their own levels by fighting monsters. However, their maximum level is limited by Song Jian’s level; they can’t surpass Song Jian’s level;

Now these Blood Zombies are still low level, only around levels two or three. But since Song Jian’s manor is built in the novice area where the monsters’ levels aren’t very high, the Blood Zombies can handle them.

“Master, you’re here to inspect the territory again!” The steward George appeared out of nowhere. When Song Jian wasn’t paying attention, he appeared beside him and bowed, immediately starting to flatter, “I believe that under your leadership, our manor will surely prosper. In the future, we will certainly have even more territories and a vast expanse of land…”

Song Jian gave a slight nod. As for having a territory only within a ten-meter range, he felt somewhat helpless. But there were few players around building safe houses, so he believed that in a short period of time, he could safely invade and occupy territories. However, the rule that he could only expand once a month made Song Jian somewhat frustrated. After all, there were too many buildings that could be built. Right now, his territory only had one Livestock Pen and one mill. He was in the process of building houses, so later he could recruit more NPCs. When the scope of the territory expanded, he would be able to open up fields.

Looking at the steady development of the manor, Song Jian was very satisfied. He nodded, then summoned the Black Dragon hatchling. After becoming a pet, the Black Dragon hatchling’s level had dropped back down to zero and needed to be leveled up again. The area he was going to had high-level monsters and wasn’t suitable to bring it along. In case it carelessly got killed, there would be a drop in intimacy level, so it was better to let it safely hunt low-level monsters to level up in this area. The Black Dragon hatchling was very intelligent and would hide in the manor if it encountered danger.

Watching the Black Dragon hatchling eagerly pounce on a mutant zombie, Song Jian summoned a motorcycle and headed towards the area with level ten monsters.

After becoming a Sword Controller, the level limit has been lifted, and he can continue to level up. Previously, Song Jian had noticed that many people had already reached level ten. Moreover, some of them had even become professionals earlier than he had, which made him feel somewhat threatened. Even if he couldn’t maintain being the top player level-wise, he must at least stay in the leading echelon, and couldn’t lag too far behind;

All the way there, Song Jian saw many players hunting monsters to level up. When a monster zone was repeatedly cleared, the zone would stop refreshing monsters and would become a safe zone. Similarly, if a safe zone didn’t see any players for a long period of time, the safe zone would be occupied by monsters, regressing back to a monster zone;

The power dynamics between the players and the monsters waxed and waned. As more and more players entered the game, the area of the safe zone also continued to expand, accommodating more players.

The roar of the motorcycle attracted quite a few monsters, but these level five or six monsters only glanced at Song Jian from a distance and then stopped chasing. Unless they were monsters that had completely lost their sanity, most monsters had an instinct to avoid stronger beings. Since they sensed Song Jian’s strength, they naturally wouldn’t chase him to their deaths.

Upon reaching the area with level ten monsters, Song Jian put away his motorcycle. The monsters here wouldn’t shy away from him. If he attracted too many, he would be in danger.

There were not many players here, just a handful scattered around, either hunting level ten monsters on the streets or searching for supplies in nearby shops.

Song Jian’s gaze fell on a theater in the distance. Generally, the larger the building’s space, the more likely a BOSS could appear. And the probability of a BOSS dropping a skill, was obviously much higher than ordinary monsters.

After looking around, Song Jian cautiously made his way towards the theater;
