Chapter 17 - New Region And Big Region

nThree full-service announcements. Usually, such announcements would only appear to announce matters of great importance.

nThese announcements could be heard throughout Second World.

nWhen all the other players heard the announcements, they were shocked. 'Other than having the NPCs kill people on his behalf, God Slayer actually killed a wild boss?'

nInstantly, the same question appeared in everyone's mind, 'Who was God Slayer?'

nMeanwhile, Mike was narrowing his eyes.

nHe did not mind the full-service announcement. On the contrary, he liked it very much.

nAfter all, achieving a full-service announcement was extremely difficult. He had never experienced this in his former life.

nAlthough he did not want to attract too much attention in the real world, he did not mind being famous in the game as it could bring him a lot of benefits!

nSoon, in the midst of everyone's discussion, Mike posted a trading post in the forum.

nThe content of the trading post was 90 excellent iron ores with a price tag of 9,000 federation coins.

n1 excellent iron ore for 100 federation coins!

nNonetheless, Mike's monthly expenses were only 150 federation coins.

nAlthough Mike's poor living conditions contributed to it, students from ordinary families had to spend at least 600 federation coins a month.

nIn other words, these 90 excellent iron ores were essentially the annual expenses of an 18-year-old student.

n90 iron ores, even if it was of excellent quality, was it really worth that much?

nThe answer was yes!

nThat was because this was a new region!

n...

nEver since the server updated a few decades ago, a new region had appeared in Second World.

nEvery year, at 11:59 pm on December 30th, the new region would merge with the big region.

nThe following day, at 12:00 am on December 31st, a new region would appear.

nNew players of Second World would first enter the new zone. They would only enter the big region on December 30th of the second year.

nIf someone logged into Second World for the first time on the 30th of December, they would enter the new region. However, the next day, they would enter the big region.

nNo one knew why Second World suddenly did this, but it was good for the beginners.

nBecause new players like them would not need to compete with seasoned players!

nThis was also why the federation wanted all new 18-year-old players to log in on December 31st.

nThis was a protection mechanism for new players.

nHence, everyone followed willingly as it was beneficial to them.

nIn this game, the competition was quite cruel. After all, almost all the humans in the world were playing Second World. Where there were people, there would be conflicts of interest.

nIn the big region, almost every corner of the map had people fighting for resources. The various large guilds controlled many rules.

nIf new players directly entered the big region, they would not have the chance to survive at all.

nThe new server simply gave new players a one-year buffering period to increase their strength

nTo Mike, this was a great thing.

nBecause of this, Mike was sure that his iron ore could be sold for a sky-high price.

nAfter all, the new server was very poor!

nThese were all new players. Everyone entered the game today, starting from the first level.

nAbsolutely no one could have such resources.

nThe rarer the item, the more precious it was. If the supply did not meet the demand, then it would be precious!

nIn the game Second World, there was an auction house and a trading system.

nHowever, as mentioned earlier, the new server was very poor.

nEveryone only had a few copper coins on them. Those who had silver coins were considered rich.

nOf course, Mike would not trade in the game. After all, the currency in the new server depreciated very quickly. Exchanging iron for a few silver coins would not benefit Mike.

nUsing federation coins to trade was the most cost-effective way.

nAs for the Second World forum, it was naturally the best place to trade.

nIf anyone had precious items to sell, selling them in the forum would be their primary choice.

nThe buyer would make a direct payment in the forum, and then money would be directly transferred to the seller's account. It was foolproof.

nMoreover, the items sold by the seller would automatically be sent to the buyer's backpack or warehouse.

nNo one knew how it was done, but Second World itself was mysterious and magical enough. It was not too surprising that it could do such incredible things.

nJust as Mike walked out of the mine, he received a notification.

nHis 90 iron ores had been successfully sold, and there were many people who recognized the goods.

nAfter all, these 90 excellent iron ores might be able to create decent equipment, enough for a new player to get through the early stages.

nMike opened the package and took a look. Sure enough, there were only 10 iron ores left in his backpack.

nDone!

nIn the following days, Mike could finally live a good life in the real world through the profits in the game.

nIt would only get better in the future!

nIn the game, Mike went to the blacksmith shop in the novice village and delivered 10 excellent iron ores. Because the quality of the iron ores was excellent, the blacksmith gave him double the reward.

nMike leveled up once again, reaching level 11. At the same time, he also learned two new skills, Smelting and Forging.

nHowever, he would not be able to use this skill for the time being. Low-level equipment that was forged would be quickly eliminated, so he decided to continue leveling up.

nThere was no point in staying in the novice village anymore. He immediately set off for the City of Light.

nWhat he was unaware of was that in the real world, the ID God Slayer had caused a huge uproar on the internet!
