Monster Village Attack Prelude, Server Shaken

Warning! Kyushu Service Area Warning Notification! In one month, Novice Village will face a Monster Village Attack! All players in Novice Village, please prepare yourselves and strive to improve your strength!

Ding! Timed quest triggered—Monster Village Attack

Quest Overview: Within the forbidden areas of various Novice Villages, powerful monsters are suspected to be manipulating everything, and a conspiracy is brewing. According to reliable sources, the Monster Village Attack will occur in one month.

Novice Villages that successfully defend against the Monster Village Attack will receive 20 reputation points for all players. Players who rank in the top three for damage dealt will receive a mysterious grand prize from the Village Chief.

If resistance fails and the Novice Village is destroyed, all players within the Novice Village will have their levels reduced by three.

Friendly Reminder: After the Monster Village Attack concludes, the passage from Novice Village to the main city will be opened. Any player who reaches level fifteen can head to the main city to seek a stronger path.

A timed quest echoed in the minds of all players in Novice Village.

"This reward isn't much, but the punishment is quite severe," Xiao Wen muttered.

If they failed to resist, their levels would drop by three at once. Even if those three levels could be recovered later, how much time would that take?

It would take at least several days.

In "Phantom Gods," where time is money, and precisely at the juncture of entering the main city, a few days could be enough to turn everything upside down.

"Monster Village Attack? Little brother, you got this quest too?"

Xiao Ya looked at Xiao Wen with confusion, clearly not yet aware of the seriousness of the situation.

Xiao Wen nodded, "Older sister, if there's nothing else, I'm going back to level up. The Monster Village Attack is about to begin, so you should all hurry and increase your levels too."

After a brief conversation, Xiao Wen rushed back.

It wasn't that he was eager to prepare for battle; a mere Monster Village Attack was something he could handle with a month's time.

What Xiao Wen cared about was the reward from the Novice Village Chief.

With a flash of light, he returned to Novice Village No. 96508 and headed towards the Village Chief.

The departed Village Chief had returned, and the area was still blocked by an impenetrable wall of players.

However, when the Village Chief noticed Xiao Wen, a strange light emanated from him and fell upon Xiao Wen. As Xiao Wen approached, the players blocking his path automatically moved aside.

"Warrior, I have confirmed the news you brought. In one month, the Monster Village Attack will begin. Your contributions to Kyushu are immense. To commend your actions, I will bestow upon you the only Guild Founding Token held by an NPC in the entire server, and I will issue a server-wide commendation. What do you say?" the Village Chief asked with a smile.

"Guild Founding Token?"

Xiao Wen nodded, a flicker of excitement in his eyes.

An announcement that repeated itself three times before disappearing.

At that moment, the players who had been buzzing about the Monster Village Attack erupted once more.

"Holy crap! Why is it Halfway Through the Mortal World again? He just killed a Level 7 Lord BOSS not long ago, and now he's completed such a powerful hidden quest?"

"Who says otherwise? Didn't you see my beloved Four Emperors' glory being overshadowed?"

"Damn it, your focus is truly strange. Shouldn't you be paying attention to that Guild Founding Token right now?"

"Oh my god! A Guild Founding Token, am I dreaming? In the previous game, the first Guild Founding Token sold for an astonishing price of over ten million Kyushu Coins."

"Heh heh... I have a feeling a dark horse, no less powerful than a King-tier player, is about to emerge."

"Pah! Do you even need a premonition for that? I heard that the person called Halfway Through the Mortal World is a player from Novice Village No. 96508, and the founders of major guilds are all flocking to that place!"

A group of onlookers chimed in, their words filled with shock.

In Novice Village No. 76817, Xiao Ya, Liu Fang, and Zhang Fu were gathered together.

Zhang Fu knelt on one knee, right fist clenched over his chest, gazing at Xiao Ya with deep affection: "Xiao Ya, my goddess, just you wait. I will definitely defeat your brother and pursue you legitimately..."

Before he could finish his sentence, a system notification sounded in the sky, abruptly cutting off Zhang Fu's words.

Half... Halfway Through the Mortal World?

What a familiar name.

No! It's him! It's Xiao Ya's brother!

I... I...

Zhang Fu's face fell into despair. His prepared grand pronouncements were forcefully silenced by the system notification.

Covering his face in shame, he logged off, unable to face Xiao Ya again.

In a villa complex in H City, Kyushu.

Siblings Yang Cheng and Yang Lu were practicing horse stance in the courtyard, a bowl of water balanced on each of their heads, enduring the scorching sun. Their faces were filled with misery.

"Fatty, it's all your fault! You insisted on having our godfather intervene, and now look at this. You've shot yourself in the foot!" Yang Lu scolded.

Yang Cheng looked wronged and secretly glanced up at the burly man lounging on the recliner.

This man was the owner of Fist Overlord, the strongest shield of his time, Zhao Shengquan!

At this moment, Zhao Shengquan was browsing the Kyushu forum for "Phantom Gods" on his phone, looking for something interesting. Just then, he saw the news about Monster Village Attack and Xiao Wen receiving his reward.

"Holy crap! This kid really did it. Caused such a stir as soon as he got back. The first Guild Founding Token on the entire server. Those guys must be going crazy by now?"

Zhao Shengquan narrowed his eyes, got up, walked to a corner, and made several phone calls.

Then he returned and lay back on his recliner, leisurely sipping his tea.

"Mysterious Kid, this is all I can do for you. From here on, it's all up to you."

Meanwhile, after hearing the announcement echoing through the sky, Xiao Wen remained calm. He accepted the Guild Founding Token from the village chief and, while the surrounding players were still in shock, he slipped away. He found a secluded spot and activated the Millennium Puzzle.

Light surged, enveloping Xiao Wen's body, and he vanished from his original spot.

His blurry vision gradually cleared. Xiao Wen found himself back outside Duel City. He touched the city gate with his finger and his body merged into it.

As Xiao Wen appeared in the city center, Sona also appeared at the same time.

"Heir of Duel City, you've returned later than I expected. Let us begin our duel! If you win, you will receive a powerful card from Duel City, and outside of Duel City, you'll be able to summon one monster and randomly use one Magic Card! If you lose..."

"Don't say anymore, let's begin! There's no way I'm going to lose!"

"I! Am the Heir of Duel City, the destined King of Duels! And a man determined to become the Pharaoh King!"
