《World of Experts 》Chapter 6: A Chain of Reward
Advertisement
Soon after, Feng Tianhao shot an arrow at the Red Tiger King. The tiger howled in grief before being annihilated completely.
The reason why Feng Tianhao shot the tiger wasn’t because he wanted to injure the tiger, but simply to let the game’s system decide that Red Tiger King was ultimately killed by his team. This way, the system would credit the reward to his team.
Ding! Ding! Ding! Shi Hao and Feng Tianhao leveled up three times consecutively.
After all, Red Tiger King was a monster intended for level 10 players, so the experience they got from killing it was so abundant it was close to bursting. With their current level, Shi Hao and Feng Tianhao could be regarded as the first-class figures in «Kingdom».
Nonetheless, there were still a lot more surprises waiting for Shi Hao and Feng Tianhao.
“Congratulations to the team of player XX in Divine Flower Continent for becoming the first to kill a boss level monster in «Kingdom», dropping a Village Building Order. In order to encourage the player to continue their efforts, it is hereby notified that the Village Building Order obtained by player XX will be leveled up and have additional unique special effects. It’ll be immediately sent to player XX’s inventory.” The system’s beep could be heard, being repeated thrice.
Shi Hao was managing this with ease. He opened the inventory and saw the Village Building Order which was gleaming like a diamond.
Certainly, there were different grades of Village Building Order. The grade classification was the same as the character’s skills, which were six grades overall. From high to low in order, it was SS, S, A, B, C, D. The higher the Village Building Order’s grade, the larger the village area would become. There would also be more plentiful resources and even some unique special effects.
This applies to the Village Building Order in Shi Hao’s hands. It was a SS grade Village Building Order, with a special effect of a Stargazing Platform. According to the explanation, the Stargazing Platform was a special building which could observe the whereabouts of a historical NPC every month and gave the suggestion of the requirements on how to take over the NPC.
So to speak, having the Stargazing Platform means there would be a stable source of historical NPCs. Above all, historical NPCs usually have their own unique skills.
Their unique skills weren’t ordinary ones, because the skills weren’t separated by levels. If someone insists on dividing them up, they’ll only be able to see the level separations of the NPC themselves. For instance, the legendary Zhuge Liang was a SS grade historical NPC character. His unique skills were obviously stronger than those of D grade. There was even a rumor in «Kingdom»’s forum that Wolong would rule the world. That was because Zhuge Liang’s skills were enough to change the movement of the world.
However, even a scrawny camel was bigger than a horse! Even if it was a D grade historical NPC character, their unique skills would still be much more uncommon than ordinary players’.

Shi Hao and Feng Tianhao felt very satisfied upon learning about the purpose of the observatory.
“Come on, take all these things with you. Let’s choose a good place to build the village.” Feng Tianhao put away the items which were being crammed inside the pit, then pulled up by Shi Hao using the rope Wu Batian had prepared beforehand.
There were two reasons as to why Shi Hao and Feng Tianhao didn’t sell these items.
Firstly, they want to establish their own armed force. After building the village, they’ll receive some NPC subordinates from the system. These NPCs were ordinary ones, so their function couldn’t be compared with historical NPCs. Still, they could also be a good force if they equip these items. In terms of fighting ability alone, they might be even more powerful than a team of players.
Secondly, they didn’t want to sell so many items publicly. If they did, their weird behavior will undoubtedly become the target of a multitude of arrows at once. They didn’t have many supporters to withstand such a great wave.
“Where should we build the village?” Shi Hao pondered over it for a long time. Naturally, Shi Hao didn’t expect that he would have the opportunity to build a village. Thus, he hadn’t considered the problem of finding a place to build the village. However, Shi Hao knew that Feng Tianhao had long planned to build a village.
Feng Tianhao gave Shi Hao a meaningful glance. He went back to Novice Village with Shi Hao and rented a carriage and a coachman. After running about wildly for a night, they finally arrived at a fascinating place.
“Hey, it’s quite ‘beautiful’ here!” Looking at the desolate landscape before his eyes, Shi Hao threw a joke, “We went through that journey to this remote valley with mountains and rivers. Should have gone to look for a girl instead.”
Feng Tianhao had gotten used to Shi Hao’s complaint, so he didn’t fight back.
Feng Tianhao calmly pointed at the mountains in the distance and said, “After I entered the game, I met an NPC villager outside the village while fighting the monsters. I remembered what he said back then. ‘This is the only place where you could find this scenery of mountains, which is rich in iron ore!’ With iron ore, we’ll be able to produce a batch of weapons. Not only could we use the weapons to defend ourselves, they’ll also bring us huge profits. Besides, the terrain here is very good. It’s ringed on three sides by mountains and the back is facing the river. If we build our village here, with other players’ current level, they won’t be able to attack and get in from outside at all.”
Shi Hao carefully looked at the terrain again. It was exactly like what Feng Tianhao said, there shouldn’t be any problem here.
“Then we’ll build the village here?” Shi Hao confirmed it one last time.

“Let’s build it here!” Feng Tianhao answered determinedly.
Seeing this, Shi Hao decisively used the valuable SS grade Village Building Order.
“Hello. Please enter the village’s name…” The system made a beep sound. Shortly after, a small, brand new village rose sheer from the ground.
Shi Hao dragged Feng Tianhao who was still closing his eyes to the village’s doorway. When he noticed the village management icon on his control panel lit up, he clicked on it.
Shi Hao was the chief, and Feng Tianhao was naturally the deputy chief. Needless to say, ‘Twin Dragons’ in Twin Dragons Village’s name referred to no one but the two of them. Still, they had to spend some resources to build the observatory, which seemed to be a bit troublesome.
Shi Hao sent the screenshot of the village’s information to Feng Tianhao.
Feng Tianhao had always wanted to create a force of his own. Now, it has been realized. Feng Tianhao touched the door of Twin Dragons Village excitedly.
“Good day, Village Chief!” An old man with white hair and beard walked towards them slowly with several able-bodied men.
Shi Hao counted the number of people. They were exactly 10 of them since 12 minus 2 was 10. They were most likely 10 regular NPCs given by the system. However, whether they were regular or historical NPCs, the professions were divided into the same categories with the players. In order to improve their abilities, NPCs need to upgrade and learn some skills.
Shi Hao and Feng Tianhao stepped forward, then counted carefully. The ten people were level 1 initial characters. Among them, there were two fighters, one knight, one archer, and the rest were strategists. The old man with white hair and beard was a strategist called Wang Fu.
It was indeed true that strategists have the most skill slots and a lot of Energy, but their viability was extremely low. Usually, there were two major ways for strategists to take care of this problem.
First, they could become a powerful battlefield firepower output and become a fort under everyone’s protection.
Second, they could become a job expert. They’ll learn all kinds of supplementary skills, such as Pacify (increasing the local’s population support), Blade Casting (increasing a weapon’s attack while being forged) so as to provide strong support for the establishment of the village’s government, life, and all walks of life.
Generally speaking, strategist was a profession with great demands and was very popular for girls. A lot of girls preferred to choose strategist as their profession upon entering the game. Girls didn’t really like to fight and kill, so after they became a strategist, they could choose the way they live and work. Either they’ll do administrative jobs or open a small shop in a certain place and do their own small business.
“Old Wang, this is our deputy village chief, Blowing Wind Left A Scar.” said Shi Hao.
“Good day, Village Chief!” Wang Fu was obviously an experienced and wise old man in the personification of intelligent setting of the system. Wang Fu immediately knew that Shake the Heaven and Blowing Wind Left A Scar were brothers. The words ‘Twin Dragons’ could be clearly seen on the village’s doorway. Thus, Wang Fu wouldn’t say such things as ‘deputy village chief’. It’d be too foolish of him to say that.
Feng Tianhao smiled innocently. He hit his chest energetically and said, “Old Wang, you need not to worry. With us brothers here, Twin Dragons Village will definitely have a bright future.”
Shi Hao teased him jokingly, “Indeed, with you here, the village will get torn down into a hideous mess in a minute.”
What Shi Hao said was indeed true. It wasn’t a reasonable thing to do at all to let Feng Tianhao manage the government administrations. Leaving aside Feng Tianhao’s coarse and wild temperament, he was a knight. He didn’t naturally have more skill slots like a strategist, in which they’ll be more apt to learn various skills to handle internal affairs and more suitable for handling government administrations.
One might ask, why did everyone agree in the forum that the strategists were suitable to handle government administrations, while the commanders would become a powerful leader?
That was because military force was the foundation of a powerful leader!
The strategist was the enemies’ target on the battlefield. They can’t run quickly, their Defense and Vitality were low. If strategists become the core of the battlefield, they’ll immediately be targeted and killed in a minute. In contrast, commanders didn’t have such shortcomings. In the core power of a force, the strategist was in charge of the literary matters, while the commander was in charge of military matters. Those who wield the gun were truly the tough one. Therefore, the commanders were truly a powerful leader!
At this time, Wang Fu smiled kindly as he stroked his white beard.
Wang Fu knew that the two village chiefs were skillful in combat. Wang Fu said, “Please rest assured, chiefs, for I could handle the government administrations of Twin Dragons Village.”
Shi Hao felt somewhat uncertain. It wasn’t because he couldn’t be reassured by Wang Fu. The NPCs given by the system were usually very loyal, unless the player court disaster.
It was just that Wang Fu was an ordinary level 1 strategist. He didn’t have any skills, either. It wouldn’t be any better to let Wang Fu take care of the government administrations than if Shi Hao did it himself.
Fortunately, Shi Hao’s worry would be readily solved soon.

The Rocky Shore
This is a LitRPG series. Every story you read here takes place in the same virtual world, with the same rules and limitations. Characters will travel, explore vast and dangerous realms, overcome obstacles, meet one another, enter into conflicts with one another, forge alliances, make horrible mistakes, and occasionally just die. A technological singularity has been achieved, and humanity has been trapped in a virtual world by a super-intelligent, self-improving artificial intelligence. This program is not malicious at all. In fact, it desires nothing except the happiness and fulfillment of every human it has copied into itself. If its decisions seem strange to you, that's only because its reasoning is far beyond ours. It recognizes that humans cannot be happy without enemies to overcome and goals to achieve, as well as the possibility of failure and death. The world it has created may be heaven or hell, depending on the free choices of the people it contains. The non-player characters who live in this realm have no idea that they are part of a vast computer system. They seem real enough, but there is no way to tell if they are truly self-aware. Even the system that created them isn't certain. This is world in which all the things that humans are used to dealing with in the abstract: skills, talents, knowledge, reputation, social status, morality, even love, exist as readable statistics that players can see and interact with objectively. This has many curious and complex effects on how people perceive themselves and the world around them. A few quick notes on the system: -Death is permanent -The system interface can only be accessed at certain locations. -Magic of diverse kinds is available and useful, but is not a good substitute for skills, physicallity, or mental prowess. Non-magical characters are common and competitive. -There is no inventory system. Characters must physically carry everything they wish to have on their person. -Healing is slow and difficult. Magical Healing is all but unheard of. Protagonists: Raymond Garrison- A man in his late twenties who used to work as a forklift operator in Idaho. His path leads him to work as a mercenary, protecting a small community of humans and goblins from the Seelie Fae who wish to exterminate them. Patricia Chandler- A elderly British woman who arrives in this new world with her grandson Kyle and her granddaughter Elizabeth. Never having dealt with rpg game mechanics before, she is in for a rough time, but she is determined to keep her grandkids alive in a world full of danger and evil. Jamil Mesbah- An Egyptian woman who once worked as a technical writer. Her path leads into a vast and hostile forest, where she must master both her magical abilities and her survival skills in order to succeed. Enjoy your travels, friends.
