The buff is permanent, and you start the game with a fountain of water.

[Lost Teleport Stone]: The teleport stone in the starting village No. 23333 has been stolen by goblins. The old village chief has asked you to kill the goblin priest before the city lord's mansion's expedition team arrives and retrieve the teleport stone.

Task time limit: 3 days.

Task reward: Unknown.

In a corner of the beginner village, Huan Cheng stared blankly at the quest description.

The quest description clearly states that the teleportation stone is in the hands of the goblin priest, and to retrieve it, you must kill the goblin priest.

For some reason, the Goblin Priest's specific skills cannot be viewed using the Insight skill. However, based on the Goblin Warlord's analysis, the Silver-tier Goblin Priest will only be more monstrous!

Huan Cheng wasn't even confident of getting past the Goblin Overlord, let alone the Goblin Priest.

Judging from the situation on the third level of the lair, the Goblin Overseer also serves as a guard. Once a fight breaks out, he is very likely to face a group beating from the Overseer and the priest!

What makes Huan Cheng even more distressed is that he is now unable to significantly increase his strength.

The level is stuck, and skills cannot be improved in a short time. The only thing that can be improved is equipment, but the room for improvement is limited.

"Do we really have to wait three days?"

After thinking for a long time, Huan Cheng still couldn't find a good solution.

With a sigh, I opened the official forum to check out the latest developments.

Players of GamePod can access the official forum at any time within the game, which is a major privilege.

Upon opening the forum, the first message that caught Huan Cheng's eye startled him!

[The first level 10 player in the Divine Realm - Hanfeng]

Click to view immediately, and after a moment Huan Cheng's brows slowly relaxed.

It's unclear who this player named Hanfeng is, but it's certain that he has also reached level 10.

After Han Feng reached level 10, he immediately wanted to go to the main city, but he encountered the same problem as Huan Cheng: the teleportation array was destroyed by monsters and the teleportation stone was lost.

The only difference is that in the novice village of 23333, the one who stole the teleportation stone was a goblin, while in Hanfeng's village, the culprit was a demon wolf.

Han Feng revealed his identity on the forum to rally players from the same starting village to unite and jointly defeat the demonic wolf to obtain the quest "Lost Teleport Stone".

"Clearly, Hanfeng is facing the final quest of the beginner stage. If I'm not mistaken, this quest should be a group quest that requires the entire village of players to work together to complete."

Below the post, this comment ranked first and received countless likes and comments from players.

Upon seeing this, Huan Cheng's pupils suddenly contracted, and after realizing what had happened, he wished he could slap himself a few times!

"I'm such an idiot, how could I not have thought of asking for help?!"

Given his consistent solitary style of doing things alone, Huan Cheng hadn't considered this possibility at all, and only realized it when he saw the forum notification.

"No wonder there are so many elite goblins on the third floor, no wonder the Goblin Warlord and Goblin Priest have such outrageous stats, turns out they're the ultimate bosses of the newbie village, left for everyone to conquer together?!"

He shook his head with a wry smile, then frowned.

Calling for backup doesn't seem to be his strong suit either!

Unless he reveals his identity like Han Feng, it will be difficult for him to rally players to fight the Goblin BOSS together.

After a moment of contemplation, Huan Cheng opened his friends list and, looking at his only friend, sent a message to Yun Xi.

Huan Cheng: There's a hidden quest, are you interested in doing it together?

Yunxi: Goblin Level 2, come quickly.

Location coordinates

Upon receiving Yunxi's message, Huan Cheng did not delay for a moment and immediately returned to the goblin's lair.

Not long after, Huan Cheng and Yun Xi met up on the second floor of the goblin's lair.

"What exactly happened?" Yunxi probably hadn't checked the forum and didn't know what had happened.

Huan Cheng briefly explained the background and consequences, and also told her about the attributes of the BOSSes such as the Goblin Overlord and the Goblin Priest.

After listening, Yunxi frowned slightly and slowly said, "I'm currently level 8. If I level up to the maximum, I should be able to handle the Goblin Overlord."

Huan Cheng was shocked upon hearing this and stared at Yun Xi in disbelief.

Yunxi had indeed broadened his horizons in the previous battles, but the Goblin Overlord attribute was so exaggerated that even Huan Cheng himself was not confident, so where did Yunxi get his confidence from?

Noticing Huan Cheng's gaze, Yun Xi smiled slightly, twirled her longsword, and said with a gentle pride, "I began learning swordsmanship at the age of three, and at eighteen, I tested my skills against renowned swordsmen throughout the land. Over three years, I defeated eighty-nine sword masters, never suffering a defeat!"

Huan Cheng's lips twitched, a look of confusion appearing on his face. He weakly asked, "Are you the young lady of a reclusive ancient martial arts family?"

Yunxi gasped for breath upon hearing this, rolled her eyes, and said speechlessly, "What's in your head? The world of ancient martial arts? I'm from the Dragon Group!"

"Then what you just said..." Huan Cheng visibly breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that a group of superhuman cultivators would suddenly appear!

"Swordsmanship! I'm talking about swordsmanship! You idiot!"

Yunxi was furious, her teeth clenched, and she glared angrily at Huan Cheng.

After Yunxi explained, Huan Cheng finally understood that there was no such thing as supernatural power in the real world, and the swordsmanship Yunxi was talking about was exactly what it sounded like—the skills and methods of using a sword.

"Similar to fencing in the Olympics?" Huan Cheng asked again, still somewhat uneasy.

"I guess so!" Yunxi rolled her eyes, too exhausted to argue with Huan Cheng.

"But what does that have to do with dealing with the Goblin Overlord? I admit you're extremely skilled, able to deflect incoming spears with incredible agility. But the Goblin Overlord's attributes are what they are; how are you going to fight him?"

"snort!"

Yunxi snorted coldly and explained, "When I entered the Divine Realm, the talent I awakened was called [Sword Intent]. When I use a sword as a weapon, I can gain an attack boost."

Huan Cheng stared at Yun Xi, waiting for her to continue.

"Level 1 sword intent increases attack power by 1%, level 2 increases it by 2%, and so on."

"That's it?" Huan Cheng looked completely bewildered; the effect seemed rather mediocre.

Seemingly angered by Huan Cheng's attitude, Yun Xi gritted her teeth and said, "The attack power increase is calculated cumulatively."

"What do you mean?" Huan Cheng was taken aback for a moment, then quickly realized: "You mean, level 2 sword intent increases by 2% on top of the 1% increase from level 1, resulting in an actual increase of 3%?"

"That's right!"

Yunxi raised her head proudly, a smug smile on her lips.

"What level is your sword intent at now? What's the highest level you can reach?"

After hesitating for a moment, Yunxi said, "Level 16. Theoretically, there's no upper limit to sword intent, but the sword intent level cannot exceed twice the character's level, so the practical limit is 200!"

"hiss……"

Huan Cheng gasped upon hearing this, looking at Yun Xi as if she were a monster!

Level 16 sword intent increases attack power by 136%. Compared to the abnormal effect of the Eternal Imprint, Huan Cheng can still accept this.

But a maximum level of 200 is too outrageous. He still remembers the math taught by Teacher Gauss. According to Yunxi's calculations, level 200 sword intent provides a full 20100% attack bonus!

An increase of more than two hundred times!

Who can withstand a single sword strike? Wouldn't that mean you could instantly kill anyone you catch?

"Damn it, this God's Domain game is garbage! They don't care about balance at all anymore, do they?!"

For some reason, Huan Cheng recalled the complaints from ordinary players on the forum back then.
