Chapter 51: Hidden Quest of the Old Village Head, Upgrade of the Sword Control Technique
"Hmm? Johnnie!" Wecheat exclaimed in terror, taking a hasty step backward. His voice trembled with disbelief. "Aren’t you supposed to be long gone from the Novice Village? What in the world are you doing back here?"
He was well aware that once someone left the Novice Village, returning was an impossibility.
"Run for your lives!" Wecheat snapped out of his shock, whirling around and preparing to dash away.
"Hmph."Johnnie let out a disdainful snort. Without a word, he summoned the Dragon Patterned Sword. The sword sliced through the air, catching up with Wecheat and his companions in an instant. A flash of cold light later, the group crumpled to the ground, defeated in a single strike.
Against the novice players in the Novice Village, Johnnie’s power was overwhelming, like a god among mortals.
It was a pity that deaths in the Novice Village meant nothing. The players would respawn at the revival point in no time.
Johnnie couldn’t care less. He regarded Wecheat and his ilk with utter contempt.
Shortly after, Johnnie made his way back to the Novice Village and paid a visit to the elderly village head, Wood.
"Ah, my brave adventurer! I knew you’d return," Wood greeted him, his face lighting up with excitement. The old man grabbed Johnnie’s arm and pulled him into the thatched cottage.
"I’ve heard about your triumph over Lane. Regrettably, I have nothing worthy to offer as a reward." Wood rummaged through his tattered clothes and eventually pulled out five stat potions. He pressed them into Johnnie’s hand.
It was evident that the old man had given his all.
