Chapter 32: 32, Server-wide announcement, Level 50 = School District House in Tier 3 city? _1
Translator: 549690339
The moment Su Yu defeated the[Village Chief of Sheep Village], a system prompt sounded:
“You have been detected as the first player to clear a level 5 dungeon. You are rewarded with 1 World Prestige point. A server-wide announcement will be made next. Do you wish to remain anonymous?”
“The reward is ‘World Prestige!?!” Su Yu was taken aback.
The rewards for being the first to clear a dungeon are random. They could be equipment, pet eggs, mounts, potions… Anything might show up.
But this time, the reward was “World Prestige”.
World Prestige is a precious resource only granted by main quests.
Simply put, World Prestige is a measure of a player’s standing in the game world.
If a player’s World Prestige is o and their level isn’t high, then no NPC in the world would regard them seriously;
If a player’s World Prestige reaches 1, various small powers in the world will look at the player differently;
If a player’s World Prestige reaches 10, all major powers in the world, including top-tier forces like Silver Pine Spire and Elemental Dome, would greatly favor this player;
If a player’s World Prestige reaches 50, even Princess Alyssa of the Empire would be respectful to this player.
That’s the hidden benefits of World Prestige.
Moreover, World Prestige could be used to exchange for plenty of great items.
For instance, now that Su Yu has 1 World Prestige point, he could use it to obtain a Baron’s title, allowing him to recruit a private army of ten NPC soldiers, and collect an annual salary from the Empire.
Besides titles, he could also trade World Prestige for precious equipment, rare pet eggs, and mounts.
You could say it’s a pretty fantastic reward!
Just when Su Yu was deliberating on whether to use the World Prestige to get a title, the system interrupted his thoughts: “Does the player choose to be anonymous?”
“Don’t stay anonymous.”
After all, “Evolution” is a game created by the Singer Civilization, so privacy protection is thorough.
Unless Su Yu himself spills the beans, not even the top hacker team of Blue Star, or even the Skuru people, could discover his real identity.
So in the game, there’s really no need to stay “anonymous”.
[World Announcement: Player Nemesis successfully cleared the level 5 dungeon “Green Prairies”. As the first player to clear a level 5 dungeon, he is rewarded with 1 World Prestige point as an encouragement! We hope everyone will strive to catch up, and write their own chapter in “Evolution”!]

[World Announcement: Player Nemesis…]
The system announcement sounded three times in a row.
Additionally, the announcement was directly broadcasted into the ears of every online player.
Thus, be it players in the leveling zone, the bustling square, or merchants peddling goods at the gate of the storehouse, everyone simultaneously quieted down to listen to the system announcement.
After the announcements ended, an overwhelming wave of sound instantaneously blanketed every player-concentrated area.
“You’ve got to be kidding me! I’ve been in the game since the server launch, and I’m only at level 3 now!”
“Our guild leader has been grinding in the creature area for 12 hours straight, and he only reached level 4 when he logged off!”
“Notice this! Only one person was in the announcement! So did he solo the dungeon?!”
“Solo a dungeon? You’re daydreaming! I can’t even handle the creatures of the same level!”
“Clearly he’s using cheats! The game is rubbish, cheats are available so early!
Let’s all quit, let’s stand against cheats starting from me!”
“You quit if you want, this is the first time I’ve played such a lifelike game.”
“Don’t assume what you can’t do, others can’t do either. Maybe Nemesis is truly a pro.”
The players are heatedly discussing it.
Whether in the in-game square or out-of-game forums, the name “Nemesis” is everywhere.
Everyone was very curious about who this pro could be.
Not only does he level up quickly, but he can also solo dungeons. That’s way too formidable!
However, just as the players’ discussion reached its peak, a young male voice suddenly came into every player’s ears:
“Ahem, hello everyone! I am Nemesis.”
This was a chance for a “worldwide broadcast” granted by the system after Su Yu first cleared the dungeon.
With this “broadcast”, Su Yu could speak his thoughts directly into every online player’s ears.
Even offline players can listen to the playback after they log in.
This “worldwide broadcast” was almost always used as an advertisement medium by big guilds in Su Yu’s past life, which is why guilds fiercely competed for the first clear of a dungeon, in order to get this opportunity.
The reason why Zhan Tianjian was able to guide an ordinary game studio through layers of obstacles in his past life and eventually become the third-largest guild in the nation, even outdoing the big capital-backed Mu Yun Guild where Su Yu was, had a lot to do with this “worldwide broadcast”.
And now, Su Yu is taking advantage of this opportunity.
Speaking through the “broadcast”, Su Yu said, “The reason I could swiftly level up to level 5 and solo a dungeon was because I accomplished a hidden task, and a high-level NPC passing by added a buff for me.”
“With this buff, leveling up was easy for me, and I breezed through the dungeon.”
Upon hearing Su Yu’s explanation, many players felt relieved: “Oh! So it’s a buff from a hidden mission, no wonder!”
“I knew it. How could a player solo a five-man dungeon?”
“Heh! There’s nothing worth bragging about, I could have done it too!” “You? Don’t kid yourself, could you even find a hidden mission?”
“Well…
Contrary to the players’ relief, hearing Su Yu’s explanation brought a bitter taste to Zhan Tianjian’s heart.
Hearing Su Yu’s voice and knowing that he has missed a good opportunity to advertise his guild, he was already a bit regretful.
Now hearing what Su Yu said, he couldn’t help but curse in his heart:
“I can’t believe your bullshit!”
“When you were sweeping through the level 3 monster area, you said it was a
‘buff from a high-level NPC passing by’; during the IVIOO battle against Emperor Blood Imperial, it was also a ‘buff from a high-level NPC passing by’; now, you’re still saying it’s a ‘buff from a high-level NPC passing by’?”
“Is this high-level NPC your pet or something? Always following you, giving you buffs?”
Zhan Tianjian looked extremely grim, almost bursting out in frustration.
Qingli, who was by his side, stopped handling his dagger and asked, “Boss, what’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing.” Zhan Tianjian shook his head, took a deep breath, “Let’s continue, finish today’s logged-in time.”
“Alright.’
However, in their ears, Su Yu’s voice didn’t stop, he continued to speak:
“Because of this high-level NPC, I’ve learned some information unknown to everyone in the game. Now, I’ll share this information with you all.”
“As long as a player’s level reaches 50, they will receive an enormous reward!”
“I can’t disclose what this reward is, but I can guarantee with my reputation that this reward isn’t inferior to owning a house in a school district in a tier-3 city!”
“So, strive to level up, everyone..”
