Changing Life And Career? I Planted The World Tree At The Beginning

With the command of Overlord of Frost, a pale blue teleportation gate appeared in the square.

The candidates maintained their queues and walked into the teleportation gate.

As soon as Chen Yu walked into the teleportation gate, he noticed that the surroundings had changed.

He found himself on a street surrounded by Western-style classical buildings.

The attire of the pedestrians on the street also resembled the style of the Western Middle Ages.

At this moment, the whole world was gray, and everything was in a state of stillness.

In front of Chen Yu, a line of golden characters appeared.

"Soaring Dragon Era 8020 High School Entrance Exam Ranking Tournament: Demon Dragon and Princess"

"Background Introduction: One year ago, the Demon Dragon descended from the heavens and took away the heir of the Horadric Kingdom, Princess Delia. It also occupied the seven main cities of the kingdom. King Horadric armed himself and attempted to slay the Demon Dragon, reclaiming his cities and the heir."

"Mechanism Introduction: In this instance, all monsters do not provide experience points. Killing monsters will directly earn high school entrance exam points."

"Mechanism Introduction: In this instance, the starting equipment is the special item 'Book of Crests.' Placing 'crests' into the book will grant corresponding attributes and skills."

"The 'Book of Crests' starts with one page, and the number of pages can be increased by killing monsters or other means."

"The initial identity of the candidates is adventurers of the kingdom, affiliated with the Horadric Kingdom camp."

"Notes: In this exam, candidates can attack each other. However, killing a candidate will not drop high school entrance exam points. Being killed will result in direct elimination, unable to continue participating in the ranking tournament, and the already obtained high school entrance exam points will be halved in settlement."

"Notes: In this exam, candidates have 7 days of free movement. After seven days, the ultimate mission will be announced. Regardless of the success or failure of the ultimate mission, the exam will enter the settlement phase."

After a few seconds, black flames ignited on the golden characters, then turned into sparks and disappeared.

At the same time, the gray world quickly filled with various colors, and time began to flow.

[Hint: You have obtained the special equipment 'Book of Crests']

[Hint: You have obtained 10 ordinary blank crests]

Chen Yu opened the inventory and found an additional white book inside.

[Book of Crests]

Quality: Epic

Pages: 1 (0/100)

Crests: None

Effect: This equipment will take effect when placed in the inventory. It provides corresponding abilities based on the placed "crests," with one crest able to be placed per page.

Note: This equipment cannot be taken out of the instance.

[Blank Crest]

Quality: Ordinary

Effect: None

Description: A blank crest that does not contain any power. It can be used as currency. In addition, you can hire a crest enchanter to enchant it into an enchanted crest that can enhance attributes or skills.

Note: This item cannot be taken out of the instance.

Chen Yu closed the inventory, looked around the surroundings, and then walked into a shop on the street that sold "crests."

The shopkeeper had a red nose and a big beard.

"Hey, my brother, are you a novice adventurer? Take a good look around here. There must be many crests suitable for you!"

The bearded shopkeeper looked at Chen Yu, smiled, and patted the counter.

Chen Yu followed his gaze.

On the counter, various enchanted crests were displayed.

[Strength Crest]

Quality: Ordinary

Effect: Strength +10

[Agility Crest]

Quality: Ordinary

Effect: Agility +10

"How much is this?" Chen Yu pointed to a +10 Strength Crest.

"This is a very good Strength Crest. You only need 50 blank crests to obtain it. It will definitely provide you with great assistance!" The bearded boss enthusiastically promoted, a hint of cunning smile appearing on his honest face.

"Boss, I don't have that many blank crests on me right now." Chen Yu asked, "So, where can I get blank crests?"

"You can go to the Adventurer's Guild to take on quests. After completing them, you can receive a commission. Additionally, sometimes monsters outside the city also carry blank crests. They will drop them when killed," the bearded boss said somewhat disappointedly.

"Understood, thank you." Chen Yu nodded.

Obviously, in this instance, blank crests are a common currency, equivalent to gold in the outside world.

Taking on quests can earn money, and killing monsters can also yield money.

"Oh, my dear brother, I wonder how many blank crests you have on you?" the bearded boss said, "I can recommend some useful items for you!"

"Ten." Chen Yu placed all the blank crests he had on the counter.

"Ten, huh." The bearded boss's eyes lit up. "In that case, I do have a very useful item here that only requires ten blank crests!"

"Horadric Kingdom Map!"

"One of the essential items for novice adventurers!"

The boss took out a map half a meter wide and handed it to Chen Yu.

"Alright, I'll buy it." Chen Yu took the map and handed over all ten blank crests from his inventory to the boss.

"Additionally, this is also essential for adventurers, and it only requires 500 blank crests." The boss took out another crest and showed it to Chen Yu.

[Teleportation Crest]

Quality: Normal

Effect: You can record up to two teleportation points. When placed in the Book of Crests, you can choose any teleportation point to teleport to.

Explanation: Teleportation points can be freely changed. Removing the crest will not clear the existing teleportation points. Teleportation requires a 10-second channeling time and cannot be performed while in combat.

The teleportation crest is indeed essential for adventurers.

The instance map is very large, so if you don't want to waste too much time on the road, you must prepare one or even multiple teleportation crests.

"I really need it, but unfortunately, I don't have that many blank crests at the moment." Chen Yu said regretfully.

"It's okay, I can extend credit for you." The bearded boss's face flashed with greed. "As long as we establish a credit contract, you can immediately get this teleportation crest!"

"Credit? Aren't you afraid that I'll leave the city and run away with the debt?" Chen Yu asked with a smile.

"That's impossible!" The bearded boss played with the teleportation crest.

"The contract is fair. If you don't comply after signing it, you will be wanted throughout the entire Horadric Kingdom. All merchants will refuse to trade with you, and the Adventurer's Guild will also refuse to provide any services for you."

"Adventurers are the most contract-oriented group of people. I believe you won't choose to breach the contract."

"Alright, I understand." Chen Yu nodded.

"So, do you want to sign the contract?" The bearded boss took out a contract paper and looked at Chen Yu expectantly.

"By the way, boss." Chen Yu didn't answer the bearded boss but asked, "I heard that a group of ruthless bandits has recently arrived in the city. You're the only one in the shop. Aren't you afraid of being robbed?"

"Of course not!" The bearded boss said, "I have an alarm system set up in my shop. As long as I press the button, the guards will arrive within 5 minutes to capture the criminals."

"Alarm button? Is it that one? It does seem very safe." Chen Yu pointed to a conspicuous red button on the wall of the shop.

"That's right." The bearded boss said proudly, "I spent a thousand blank crests on this alarm system!"

"What if you don't press the button in time?" Chen Yu took a step forward and stood between the bearded boss and the button.

"What do you mean?" The bearded boss showed a wary expression.

Chen Yu grinned and revealed a brilliant smile.

Suddenly, more than ten Thorny Spirits appeared around him.

One Thorny Spirit directly swung its vine whip, closing the shop's door.

The other Thorny Spirits instantly extended dozens of vines, tightly entangling the bearded boss.

"What I mean is - you're being robbed!"
