《World of Experts 》Chapter 19: Three Major Villages
Advertisement
After reading the information about Twin Dragons Village, one had to say that the current Twin Dragons Village had become more and more attractive. As long as the tailor shop and smithy were built, Shi Hao would immediately turn to the matter of Stargazing Platform. After all, tailor shop and smithy were the foundation of the village’s military strength. It won’t do without them.
The sky was already dark, Shi Hao and Feng Tianhao had gone back to their respective rooms to sleep.
Early the next morning, Li Yi who had returned to the village was in front of Shi Hao and Feng Tianhao. Upon closer look, Shi Hao and Feng Tianhao had already turn off the option to display the name. Moreover, they had also changed into cloth that would make the other people unable to clearly see their faces.
Shi Hao and Feng Tianhao were like this, why? It was in order to hunt a BOSS.
The establishment of a lot of villages yesterday suddenly reminded Shi Hao. Since the other people could go to the Novice Village to deal with level 10 BOSS to obtain a Village Building Order, why couldn’t he? Unfortunately, Shi Hao truly couldn’t. This was not an issue of strength. Relying on Li Yi, would it be hard to deal with Red Tiger King? But the issue was, Li Yi was a historical NPC, and a historical NPC couldn’t enter the Novice Village. This was the system’s restriction.
However, there were level 10 BOSS monsters in other places too. Merely, they were not brainless like the monsters in the Novice Village, and there were also no extra system rewards for killing them. But the number of system rewards should have already exceeded the upper limit. Therefore, the difference between killing a level 10 BOSS in the Novice Village and other places was not too big. Moreover, so many new villages were established yesterday. Many of them must have gotten Village Building Orders from the field BOSS. There weren’t so many BOSSes in Novice Village.
Shi Hao had made up his mind! He wanted to take Li Yi to deal with field BOSSes. Therefore, Shi Hao, Feng Tianhao, Li Yi and a few soldiers set off. After they left the area of Twin Dragons Village, they headed northward, arriving at a BOSS’s territory. This BOSS was Wild Boar King. Its defense didn’t seem to be that high. Li Yi should be able to break its defense. And the luck of Shi Hao and others wasn’t bad, it didn’t take long for them to encounter this BOSS. Merely, many people were also camping here, and they had just begun to attack the BOSS. There, honestly, were too many people crowded here.
“Let us through!” Shi Hao couldn’t bear it. Shi Hao and others wandered outside for a long time, but they were unable to enter from beginning to end. Therefore, Shi Hao had to say so, but the other people had come to steal the experience and items. How could these people easily get out of the way?
“Okay, since you all are blocking our way, Uncle, come!” Shi Hao was angry. These guys were all here to get cheap benefits. But they weren’t giving him, the main force to attack the monster, a way.
Li Yi was also angry and he roared: “Unrelated thieves, get out of the way! Otherwise, don’t blame my subordinates for being ruthless.”

However, Li Yi’s words were ignored by everyone. Who would respond to an inconsiderately shouting man? Moreover, these people didn’t know Li Yi’s identity. Upon seeing this, Li Yi drew out his sword and advanced without saying anything more. This time, all those people got out of the way in succession, creating a path directly leading to Wild Boar King.
However, they got out of the way not because they were afraid of Shi Hao and others, rather they wanted to see how Shi Hao and others would make a fool of themselves. One should know that if you wanted to kill the Wild Boar King, then you must use human sea tactics. These people dealt just 1 point damage per hit. But the Wild Boar King had a lot of HP and its speed was also fast. It could kill these people in one hit. Therefore, these people would lose more than half of the players to kill this Wild Boar King. But they were not afraid of death. After death, they just had to stop for three days, and when they came back, the Wild Boar King would have also just respawned. In the eyes of these people, Shi Hao and others were just courting death by stepping forward.
“Uncle, it’s up to you.” Shi Hao commanded the soldiers to closely watch the remaining players, making these players a bit honest and not think about stealing his Wild Boar King. Li Yi stepped forward by himself and fought head-on. According to Shi Hao’s calculation, the attack of the Wild Boar King should not be able to break Li Yi’s defense. The fact was also like that. The Wild Boar King’s attack was 70 points, but Li Yi’s defense was 72.6 including the bluff. However, Li Yi was also not too relaxed against the Wild Boar King because Li Yi’s attack after bluff also barely broke the defense of Wild King Boar. Moreover, Wild Boar King’s speed was much faster than Li Yi. The most awful thing was, Wild King Boar’s HP was too much. It had 85 HP, which was irritating. As a result, the battle between Li Yi and the Wild Boar King lasted for a long time, and it also gave the onlooking players a chance to make comments.
“F***! What’s the background of this man called Li Yi? He actually can contend with the Wild Boar King.” A player exclaimed.
“I know, Li Yi should be a historical NPC for sure. That’s right, he is a historical NPC!” Another player shouted loudly.
“Damn! I want to subdue this historical NPC.” An ignorant player talked nonsense. This person’s name was also domineering, Soaring Through the Highest Heaven.
Eventually, Li Yi killed the Wild Boar King, and he reasonably divided the experience gained with Shi Hao and Feng Tianhao. Shi Hao and Feng Tianhao both reached level 7. Their combat power improved further. Li Yi searched the Wild Boar King’s corpse again and stored the dropped things into his own inventory.
“Strong man! Please stop.” That ignorant Soaring Through the Highest Heaven rushed forward and said: “I sincerely invite you, I wonder if you will follow me to achieve a shared great plan and exploits, have a good view of these beautiful rivers and mountains, and contribute your strength for the future of >.”

Li Yi ignored this person, walked directly to the front of Shi Hao and handed over the items dropped from the Wild Boar King. Shi Hao looked at them. His luck was truly not bad! A very rare skill book of Solid Armor Cast had dropped. After returning, he could look for a promising strategist villager to show this skill in the tailor shop. Thinking about it, there were still many unallocated skill books in the warehouse. He had to properly think about how to allocate them after returning.
“F***, could it be that this is an already subdued historical NPC?” Upon seeing this, Soaring Through the Highest Heaven realized the fact and said: “Great God! Please stop.”
“Boring!” Shi Hao didn’t respond to these people. Shi Hao, Feng Tianhao and Li Yi continued their journey to kill BOSSes. At dusk, they had already killed 5-6 level ten BOSSes in a day, and all the soldiers that they brought had reached level 5. They had also obtained some items. However, Li Yi’s experience to reach level 11 was still far away. Moreover, Li Yi had to act as the captain of Tranquil Water Village, and the captain’s level restriction was level 10. Therefore, Li Yi couldn’t continue to level up.
At this moment, Shi Hao and Feng Tianhao returned to reality from the game. Thinking about it, Shi Hao and Feng Tianhao had not returned to the real world for a long time. This time also, they had taken advantage of the nighttime in the game to stay in the real world for roughly one and half hour. Shi Hao opened the web forum of > and browsed the news while eating snacks.
“Hey! Little Hao, come and take a look.” Shi Hao raised his eyebrows and yelled. Feng Tianhao came over and looked. As it turned out that Shi Hao had found three posts about first, second and third player villages in . The information contained in these three posts was very impressive.
The first village was naturally Twin Dragons Village of Shi Hao and Feng Tianhao. In the forum, someone had actually posted ‘The first XX player’s details’. The game screenshots clearly showed the ins and outs of Twin Dragons Village. Even the path to Twin Dragons Village as well as which players were the ‘twin dragons’ of Twin Dragons Village were written clearly. Such doing, if it was not for advertising Twin Dragons Village, then it was intended to entrap Twin Dragons Village. The author of this post clearly had bad intentions. Because the name of the author was Heroic Overlord Under Heaven. This, however, was an undisguised provocation to Shi Hao. However, Shi Hao was too lazy to fuss about it. In any case, even without this post, everyone would have discovered Twin Dragons Village soon enough. Moreover, even if there were fools who wanted to get rid of Twin Dragons Village, with the current strength of Twin Dragons Village, they didn’t need to fear those players. Shi Hao, nevertheless, was somewhat curious. Heroic Overlord Under Heaven, when did this fellow come to Twin Dragons Village? How come Shi Hao didn’t know about this?
The second village was Blossom Capital Village. Blossom Capital Village was located in Divine Flower Continent’s North Flower Region. Blossom Capital Village’s behavior was very disciplined and their nature was also very low-key. The post didn’t contain much information. It seemed that the name of the Blossom Capital Village’s Village Chief was Serve One’s Country with Unreserved Loyalty. But one point was certain beyond doubt. There were many players in Blossom Capital Village. Just in one day, they built several housings relying on numerous players’ labor. Allegedly, even a tailor shop was already built within Blossom Capital Village. According to this developing trend, if Twin Dragons Village had not received the assistance of Tranquil Water Village’s goods and materials, then Blossom Capital Village might have truly overtaken Twin Dragons Village and become the number one player village. However, a point made Shi Hao puzzled. North Flower Area was easy to guard but hard to attack, however, the goods and materials weren’t abundant there. Why was Blossom Capital Village built there? He wondered what the intention behind that was.
The third village was Xianyang Village. Xianyang Village was located in Divine Flower Continent’s Central Flower Region. The Village Head of Xianyang Village was very domineering. He directly announced the information by himself! This post was written by Xianyang Village’s Village Chief. This Village Chief’s name was The First Emperor (Qin Shihuang). At first sight, this name resembled a historical NPC. However, if there was truly a historical NPC based after The First Emperor in the game, then his name should also be Ying Zheng (name of the first emperor), not Qin Shihuang. Merely, although this player named The First Emperor was not the real first emperor, he was also an incredible figure. His real name was Qin Zheng, and he was the young master of Z Country’s Qin Group. Qin Group was the most powerful company of Z Country in terms of wealth, and it was also the entire world’s top-tier multinational giant. There was no need to doubt the influence of Qin Zhen, the young master of Qin Group. If it weren’t for the system’s restriction, no exchange of real money into game currency directly, Xianyang Village might have already become Xianyang City. Even so, Xianyang Village was definitely very rich. After all, Qin Zhen was clearly purchasing game currency from the players of the entire world. Allegedly, all players of Central Flower Region were scrambling to join Qin Zhen’s Xianyang Village. The traffic of Central Flower Region was the most convenient. The number of people that chose their birthplace as Central Flower Region was the largest. At this moment, no one knew how many elite players Qin Zhen had already drawn over. In terms of pure military strength, Twin Dragons Village might not be the opponent of Xianyang Village. Fortunately, Xianyang Village was not in West Flower Region. Therefore, there was no direct threat to Shi Hao for the time being.
In short, the first three player villages had appeared in Divine Flower Continent. This was because everybody knew that Divine Flower Continent’s historical NPC resource was the richest, and there was no need to talk about the value of historical NPCs. Everyone said that the player who got the Divine Flower Continent would get the world!

The Madec Legacy
The dawn of Emotion Based A.I.s is here, John is the fifth test subject to have an AI implemented in his brain, and so far the first one to survive. Blinded by the dream of immortality, the researchers push the tests to inhumane standards. John is obligated to take part in sessions of torture designed to test the limits of the AI influence over the physical and mental health. What was supposed to be a new beginning in life turns into living hell. An (un)lucky twist ends his life. John then reincarnates with his AI in a new world where a System influences the interaction between Magic and Matter. With seemingly limitless potential and a game-like system influencing the world, the hero sets on his journey. --AUTHOR NOTE, PLEASE READ-- I will state here my promises to you, potential reader: 1. No harem! I don't trust myself to make a harem feel natural or healthy, I never met any person who has a personality that can adapt and live in a harem for reasons that are not monetary, so I can't draw inspiration from real life. Sorry!; 2. The enemies will not be bland and illogically mean. Some may feel like that at first, but I will take great care in fleshing them out, trust me. You may end up hating some, but you won't be able to deny that they had their reasons for what they did; 3. I am using a paid (and expensive) automated editor tool, and I take longer to write because I take my time in editing the stuff. I am aiming to improve and I will not shy away from constructive criticism, nor take offense for no reason; 4. Characters will die and will suffer, some will get over the tragedies and improve, others will not be as resilient. 5. This novel has a lot of ground to cover, it is neither a short story, a manual on crafting, or the script of some action scene. There will be both time skips and oversimplifications of some actions for the sake of moving the story forward. Time skips will be more prominent in the first 30 chapters. I will describe crafting processes and fights with more detail if they are essential for the chapter; 6. If I took my time describing something, it's because it is important. I hate novels that waste time describing useless stuff. If you skim over something, the chances are that something in the future will not make sense. I am an adept of "Chekhov's gun" principle; 7. I already have 31k words on my auxiliary documents, I have a plan for the story, and I will not be making changes even if someone ends up noticing some foreshadowing and figures out what will happen. The story comes first. 8. I have a wife, a job that demands 9h every day and courses related to my job (lawyer) three days of the week, it's unlikely that I will be able to do mass releases at all. I will have a healthy amount of chapters to be able to post at least 1 chapter every day continually. Don't worry. 9. I will read all the comments. I will listen to all you have to say and will try my best to accommodate demands as long as they do not hamper the path I prepared. 10. There is an arc that spans the entire novel. Each volume will be an arc in itself while progressing a little bit of the main arc. Every arc will have one or more main antagonists. I think that's it! Thank you for reading it all. Have an awesome time reading my first novel!!
