Chapter 7 The First Achievement

points!""Finally level 13..."Zhang Yi exhales, hurrying to set off for the safe zone before nightfall.On the way back to the safe zone, Zhang Yi opened his backpack and counted his spoils.This afterno...Besides having 34 independent major regions, the world of Tianqi, each region is further divided into over a thousand small safe zones, also known as newbie villages.

Each newbie village can accommodate over 10,000 players.

This is only domestic, there are also many overseas district servers. This was when Zhang Yi knew after several years in his previous life that the Tianqi World had merged into a large area and started national wars.

Therefore, it can be seen that the game "Tian Qi" is incredibly popular.

And Zhang Yi was assigned to, or rather, guided by the system to, Hope Town, the designated safe zone, with identification number 886.

Around Sector 886, countless players from diverse origins, guided by the survival task "Seek Safe Zone", are converging on Hope Town. Zhang Yi must reach Hope Town before them to trigger the achievement.

Don't think that just because Zhang Yi is now less than a mile away from Hope Town, he can enter it soon. In fact, the road in front of him, starting from the train station, doesn't count for much. It's only when he gets here that the real challenge of the nightmare-level survival mission "Finding the Safe Zone" begins.

From Zhang Yi's current location to Hope Town, there are bio-mechanical behemoths of levels 1 to 5 along the way. And these bio-mechanical behemoths do not have a beginner protection mechanism set up, meaning that even if players don't provoke them, they will be attacked just by getting close.

In the previous life, about one-tenth of the players in each safe zone died on their way to reach it. If Zhang Yi hadn't teamed up with several other players, he almost would have died on the road too.

However, this life, Zhang Yi doesn't intend to team up with other players anymore, because Zhang Yi, who holds a level 25 enhanced iron hammer, doesn't need anyone's help at all.

Jumping down the slope, a massive Level 2 [Bio-Chemical Cockroach] immediately appeared beside Zhang Yi and crawled toward him.

Zhang Yi remained calm and continued walking, waiting for the bio-engineered cockroach to run into his path. With a resounding "clang," he smashed it down with his hammer, crushing the cockroach's head flat —

-51!

The bio-engineered cockroach, pinned to the ground, was temporarily incapacitated. Taking this opportunity, Zhang Yi swung his hammer again, delivering another blow that dealt 51 points of damage to the top of the cockroach's head, resulting in a KO!

"Ding~ You killed a level 2 [Biochemical Cockroach], experience points 2!"

Picking up the copper coin that dropped from this bio-engineered cockroach, Zhang Yi continued on his way.

In a moment, another level 3 bio-engineered rat scurried in. As expected, it was dealt with by Zhang Yi's three hammers, turning into 6 experience points and 1 copper coin, which fell into Zhang Yi's bag.

There's nothing that can't be solved with two hammers. If there is, then use three.

A trash-tier, level 1 star war hammer was enhanced to level 25 and in the early game it was practically a godsend!

So throughout this journey, Zhang Yi was almost unstoppable. Even for level 4 and 5 creatures, which other new players needed three or four people to team up and barely handle, in Zhang Yi's hands, they were just a few hammer blows away from being defeated.

Thus...

"Ding~ You killed a level 3 [Bio-Ant], experience 6!"

"Ding~ You killed Level 2 [Biochemical Spider], experience 2!"

"Ding~ You killed a level 4 [Bio-engineered Centipede], gaining 12 experience points!"

Until Zhang Yi's journey took him all the way to Hope Town, a burst of golden light suddenly showered down from his head. Accompanied by a pleasant system prompt, it rang in Zhang Yi's ears:

"Ding~ Congratulations on leveling up, you gained 5 free attribute points. The next level requires 250 experience points!"

After a lot of ups and downs, I finally reached level 2.

In the status bar, Zhang Yi added all 5 points he gained from leveling up to his vitality attribute, which increases health.

No matter what profession a player wants to transfer to at level 10, it does not affect the player's free attribute point allocation before level 10, because upon completion of the job change, the system will grant the player one opportunity to reset their attributes.

So before level 10, just add whatever attribute is low.

Zhang Yi's Iron Hammer at level 25 has already ensured his output damage. His survivability, however, is currently his weakness.

5 points of physical strength, converted to Zhang Yi's 15-star physical strength growth, brings a bonus of 75 health points and 37 energy points, directly doubling Zhang Yi's vitality!

Having finished adding the markers and closing the status bar, Zhang Yi stood at the entrance of the safe zone. Following a white light barrier that monsters couldn't penetrate, he stepped into the town.

Passing through the light curtain, what came into view was a peaceful and tranquil town. Clean streets were lined with houses that remained untouched, and countless NPCs with blue IDs above their heads walked to and fro, making it quite lively.

After traversing the desolate wasteland of a post-apocalyptic world, Zhang Yi felt like he had entered paradise.

At the same time, a loud system prompt sounded from the sky —

"Announcing the 886th Safe Zone Area: "Ding~ Congratulations to player 【Yī Nuò Qīngchéng】 for being the first to enter the 886th Safe Zone 【Hope Town】, completing the 【Newbie First Person】 achievement and obtaining rewards: Human Race Reputation 120! (Including a 20% Human Camp bonus) Silver Coins 10!"

The 120 reputation reward is pretty good, because normally you'd have to complete several difficult tasks to earn that much reputation.

As this regional announcement spread to the ears of all players belonging to Security Zone 886 near Hope Town, those players who were still on their way to Hope Town instantly boiled over, and the regional chat channel became lively in an instant—

>

“[Mouse Loves Cat] (Female, Level 1 Player): “Yi Nuo Qing Cheng, is it a little brother or a little sister You’re already in the safe zone so quickly, you’re amazing!”

"Damn! I've been grinding rats here and almost forgot about the mission to reach the safe zone! Guys, wait for me, I'm coming!"

"Ding dong ding dong～"

The chat channel was buzzing incessantly, but Zhang Yi didn't even look at it, directly muting it.

Because he hadn't yet realized this was a real apocalypse, other players were still chatting leisurely. Zhang Yi wasn't.

Following the regional announcement, Zhang Yi's ear was met with a private system prompt —

"Ding~ Congratulations on completing the survival mission [Finding the Safe Zone] (Nightmare Level), you have earned a resurrection opportunity 1. This week's survival missions have all been completed, please wait for the system to release new survival missions at 00:00 next Monday morning!"

It's 8:30. Zhang Yi only took half an hour to reach the safe zone. Last life, the first player to reach Hope Town was around 9:00, meaning Zhang Yi is at least half an hour ahead of other players and can enjoy the benefits the safe zone brings.f District 886, and the large Storm Family backing him up, the happy, chubby gamer's legs started to tremble with glee: "Yi Nuo Qingcheng, hear this! Me and Storm Angel are brothers. You dare bully a...
