"Damn it!" This time, Li Hailin walked out of the respawn point in Yorkmok City. Just a few minutes ago, Li Hailin tried the return scroll again and found that it still didn't work. So he ran out the door, found a snow leopard in the snow, and waited for several minutes until it killed him. To his surprise, after respawning, he ended up at this city's respawn point.
"Damn, who the hell told me that the return scroll and respawn point locations can change?" Li Hailin held his forehead, indicating his headache. "What should I do now? How can I get back?"
In an instant, Li Hailin felt that he couldn't love anymore. Why can't I go back? First, I was inexplicably teleported here, and now I can't even go back.
Li Hailin suddenly realized that his situation was very serious. Not to mention other things, he had a pet quest to do tomorrow. Although the quest didn't specify the time or location, what if they asked him to gather at the pet home? He couldn't even determine his current location, and who knew how to get to the pet home.
Not knowing what to do, fortunately, the system hadn't turned off his remote voice communication. Looking at his online friends, Li Hailin found that reliable guys like Hongchen Yan Yu and Hongyue weren't online. The only one online and relatively reliable was Lingjie Yehang. This guy seemed to be always online whenever Li Hailin was online, as if he never slept.
"Oh? Hailin?" Yehang answered the call after a moment. "What's up?"
"I'm in big trouble, it's driving me crazy," Li Hailin said.
"I could tell from your tone," Lingjie Yehang smiled. "What happened? Got cornered? By the End of the World?"
"That would be simple," Li Hailin said. "If I were surrounded by the End of the World, I'd be happy, but they didn't come. This is much more troublesome."
"Oh? What happened?" Yehang suddenly became curious, as he had never heard Li Hailin talk like this before.
"Uh, to put it simply, I was teleported by a damn NPC to a place called Yorkmok City. The problem is, now I can't use the return scroll or even respawn in another city. I have no idea what to do," Li Hailin said.
"Ah? Is that possible?" Yehang was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed. "Hahahaha, you... you can also be so badly tricked by an NPC."
"Please don't be so gleeful, just help me figure out how to get back," Li Hailin said, holding his forehead.
"Oh, okay, okay," Yehang held back his laughter and said seriously, "Look around, there should be a teleportation point in the city that can take you directly to the main city."
"Is there such a convenient thing?" Li Hailin asked in surprise.
"There is, but I don't think you can use it," Lingjie Yehang said. "What level are you?"
"Right now? Level 18," Li Hailin answered.
"That won't work," Yehang said. "The teleportation array requires level 30 or higher to use. I don't think there are any players at level 30 yet. I'm only level 21, and I doubt anyone is 9 levels higher than me."
Given Yehang's non-stop leveling speed, he was confident in saying this.
"3...30 levels?" Li Hailin was stunned. "Do you need to be that high to use it?"
"The system says that those without enough power can't withstand the energy of space tearing. It's actually a level restriction. Level 30 and above can use the teleportation points between cities," Lingjie Yehang explained. "That's why there are no elf or dwarf players in the human main city, because they can't get there."
"What about walking?" Li Hailin asked.
"The map of 'Heart of Glory' is huge. Walking would be a nightmare, and once you leave the Gondor province where the main city is located, the monsters' levels increase. You'd be killed by monsters, and after respawning, you'd end up back in the main city. So, no players can successfully leave the Gondor province right now," Lingjie Yehang said. "Our guild has sent many people to try to leave Gondor, but it's impossible. I assume it's the same for elves and dwarves. You need to be level 30 to leave the main city, which is probably a system rule."
"Why do you want to leave?" Li Hailin asked.
"To reach an area where no one else is. Whatever you discover, you'll be the first, and no one will compete with you," Lingjie Yehang said. "To be honest, I'm a bit envious of you."
"Envious of what? Please switch places with me. I just want to get back," Li Hailin said.
"If I could, I would," Lingjie Yehang smiled. "But not being able to return is indeed a big problem. Do you need anything there? If you're not in a hurry, you can level up to 30 and come back."
"I don't know how long I'll have to grind alone. Sigh... Well, since you don't know what to do either, I'll think of something," Li Hailin thought that Yehang, who hadn't left Gondor, wouldn't know what to do, so he had to think of something himself.
"Wait, I have something else to say. I've already read your strategy this morning, thanks. We've also discussed the fire-resistant equipment. Today we plan to challenge Borune, starting with the Hell difficulty," Yehang said.
"Oh, I see," Li Hailin nodded. "By the way, do you know our team's setup? We use two priests."
"You forgot what you wrote? You wrote it," Yehang said. "But we plan to use a combination of a priest and a knight for healing. Although the knight's healing ability is much weaker than the priest's, the knight also has some monster resistance and output capabilities. We'll try this first."
"You guys figure it out," Li Hailin, reminded of his reward when Yehang mentioned the dungeon, said. "By the way, you were going to talk about the health potions, right?"
"Yes, I was wondering, since you can't come back for now, what should we do about the health potions?" Yehang asked.
"Here's what, send someone to give them to Hongyue, and let her collect them for me," Li Hailin thought for a moment and said.
"Oh, that's good. We've already agreed on the price and are waiting for her to come online to get the fire-resistant equipment. We can give her the health potions at the same time," Yehang nodded. "That's it, I can't help you with anything else."
"It's fine, it's not your fault. I'll think of something and try to get back as soon as possible," Li Hailin said casually, but in reality, he had no idea what to do. After thinking for a while, Li Hailin could only think of one thing: to check out the teleportation array and see if the level requirement could be lowered.
Li Hailin had never seen a teleportation array before. He asked a guard and found out it was the strange purple building next to the mercenary guild. Li Hailin had passed by it several times but never realized what it was for.
Walking into the building, Li Hailin saw a two-meter-diameter circular platform with various strange carvings on it, which he couldn't understand. Next to the platform, a few people were cleaning and maintaining it.
"Who's in charge here?" Li Hailin asked as he entered.
"Um? Sir, what can I do for you?" A male NPC in his forties stood up and asked. His name was Gast.
"Oh, nothing, I just want to test your face's defense," Li Hailin said with a smile.
A few minutes later, Li Hailin was holding Gast, whose face was swollen to twice its size, and said helplessly, "Can't I really use the teleportation array?"
"Hero, although you have done me a great favor, I don't have the authority to let you use it. Even if you're not afraid of dying, I can't agree," Gast's face was so swollen that he spoke unclearly, but it was still understandable. "But if you come here to use the teleportation array next time, I can give you a 20% discount."
"Damn, this thing costs money? How unfair?" Li Hailin thought it was free, but then realized the system wouldn't be so kind.
"Hero, we need to eat too. The maintenance cost of the teleportation array is astronomical. Without the empire's subsidy, the regular income wouldn't even cover our salaries," Gast said, feeling wronged.
"Ah, forget it. What's the point of talking about this now?" Li Hailin couldn't use the teleportation array until level 30, but the question was what to do now.
"Hero, I heard you want to go to the City of Divine Blessing, right?" Gast, who was lying on the ground, suddenly asked.
"Huh?" Li Hailin was stunned. "Do you know how?"
"There is a way. Follow me," Gast said.
