“Oh no, a god-tier skill appears right at server launch, I, Matthew Harris, refuse to accept this!”
“So flashy, it’s got that addictive vibe just like William Clark!”
“So wicked! If you take first place on the server again, I, Matthew Harris, don’t mind sticking with you to the end!”
In the game’s regional chat channel, countless players started spamming the screen.
Some even took screenshots and posted them on the forums, starting to spread the explosive news.
Conspiracy theorists already labeled the player with the ID Mr·浪 as either a shill for the game company or a GM’s relative.
S-class mutant skill, known as a god-tier ability.
Such skills aren’t easy to obtain. For example, in Telecom Server 1’s first server, King’s Sword, which repeatedly set peak online records of 500,000 players, after half a month, there were only three players in the entire server who possessed S-class skills.
According to current information, across all 18 servers operated by Fantasy, the total number of players with S-class mutant skills doesn’t even exceed fifty. It’s safe to say that those who obtain such god-tier skills are almost all top-tier players, worshipped by countless others.
“Bro, did you really awaken some anime energy?”
Sammy stared blankly at Brian Carter, his expression indescribably complicated.
“Say no more, boss, let me touch your little ding-ding, maybe I’ll get some of that virgin godly aura…”
That scoundrel The Carter Chief didn’t just talk—he actually reached out to touch Brian Carter’s crotch, only to be slapped away by Brian Carter.
“Do you guys think the boss is a little tycoon now?”
This question from Dylan deeply shocked everyone in the dorm.
Never mind the reputation reward for being first on the server, just those 100 copper coins alone are no small sum.
Besides the low drop rate for equipment, Fantasy also has a very low output rate for in-game currency.
In the early stages of the game, especially on the first day of a new server, an average player is lucky to earn twenty copper coins in a day. Someone like Brian Carter with 100 copper coins is definitely at the tycoon level.
“Third bro, you idiot, those 100 copper coins aren’t the main point—the real highlight is the reputation.” Sammy’s eyes were practically shining with gold as the chubby guy drooled, “Boss got 100 universal reputation for Fantasy Continent and 100 Barbarian reputation. That means he has 200 reputation in the Barbarian region. Do you know what that means?”
“Faction reputation quest?” The Carter Chief’s eyes lit up as he excitedly sat back at his computer, his voice almost lovestruck: “I’ve got 45 seconds left before I can log in. Boss, I was planning to play an Undead Rogue, but since you’re so badass, I’ll go with a Barbarian Rogue and follow you from now on!”
“Heh, I’m a man of principle and was going to play a suave Elf Mage. But seeing you so fierce, boss, I think I’ll go with a Barbarian Mage instead. Big boss, let’s team up and reach the peak of life together!” Dylan also sat at his computer, entered the character creation screen, and decisively made a Barbarian Mage.
“Minority obeys the majority—since everyone’s going Barbarian, I can’t be left out. For the brothers, for the team, why would I still play a human priest? I’m switching to Barbarian Priest!” That rascal Sammy made it sound noble, but in truth, he just wanted to follow Brian Carter.
“Then it’s settled! I’ll go tell Cody next door—he was planning to play a Barbarian Warrior anyway.” Brian Carter was already used to his three roommates’ antics, so he leisurely got up and went to the next dorm.
At that moment, in the eyes of his three roommates, Brian Carter’s figure looked so carefree and dashing.
Because they all knew they’d be getting some sweet benefits by following Brian Carter.
For the more experienced old players in Telecom Server 1, faction reputation quests are pretty ordinary. But for new players on the first day of Telecom Server 2, this quest is like riding a rocket.
The most basic faction reputation quest requires 200 reputation points. Normally, an average player would need to do main and side quests for two or three days straight, reaching about level 5, before they could take on such a quest. But Brian Carter is different—he’s got 200 reputation at level 1 and can immediately take the Barbarian region’s reputation quest.
What’s even more interesting is that to take this quest, only the party leader needs to meet the 200 reputation requirement, not all five members. That’s why, in older servers, many high-level players use this method to help low-level accounts. Some game studios even make money this way—lowbies who want to level up fast just pay a bit to team up with a high-level player.
Imagine a level 1 player completing a quest that’s usually only doable by level 5s—the experience points will pour in, and it really does feel like reaching the peak of life.
For newbies just starting the game, trying to take on such a quest might be a bit tough. But the guys in Room 301 are seasoned players, having spent half a month in Telecom Server 1. While they still can’t beat the insanely hard Kraken dungeon, completing the reputation quest shouldn’t be a problem.
Normally, on the first day of a new server, a player can reach at most level 3.
But if you level up through reputation quests, you can hit level 5 on the first day—this has been personally verified by pro power-levelers in the old servers.
