<h4>Chapter 29: The Siege of Riverfall City, Double Experience!</h4>


    "Holy crap, is this for real? This guy''s damage is more than three times mine!"


    Ben, the Vice President of the Snowfall Guild, stared in disbelief.


    He was already level 10, cing him among the top tier of yers. As an Assassin, his single-target burst damage was among the highest across all sses, yet, at the same level, Luca''s damage was multiple times higher than his!


    This is insane!


    Ada''s beautiful eyes swept over Luca, and she shook her head slightly, saying, "This Luca isn''t a normal ss. It''s likely a rare or hidden ss, and his gear is exceptional. It''s normal for his damage to be higher than yours."


    Ada, who controlled the entire Snowfall Guild and was currentlypeting with The World Guild for talent in Riverfall City, naturally had a keen eye. She immediately recognized that Luca was different from ordinary yers.


    A fierce battle intent red in Ben''s eyes.


    He proposed, "Sis, this Luca is definitely a top-tier yer! We should invite him to join our guild!"


    Ben had watched a video of Luca fighting on Wind in. He had already thought that this guy was stronger than most veteran yers—his on-the-spot reactions and timing were not something an average yer could possess.


    But now, seeing Luca in livebat, he realized he had still underestimated him.


    This guy''s skill level is probably at a professional standard!


    Ben couldn''t help but feel excited.


    He loved dueling with expert yers!


    Ada instinctively wanted to adjust her sses, then remembered this was a game world.


    She lowered her hand and nodded slightly, "If there''s a chance, ask him if he''s willing to join Snowfall Guild. As long as his demands aren''t too excessive, we can agree to them."


    With countless major investors now involved in Eternal Game,petition for top yers among the major guilds was fierce. Professional yers with even a bit of fame were being offered sky-high prices—finding a top-tier yer was incredibly difficult.


    Even with the backing of Blues Family''spany, Snowfall Guild was in a tough spot. Now that they hade across a yer like Luca, they had to make an effort to recruit him.


    On the other side, Celephais, the Vice President of The World Guild, had a different idea.


    He eyed Luca''s ck Gold Robe.


    His gaze shifted slightly as he instructed the man beside him, "His gear is pretty good. Go ask him if he''ll sell it for a million. If he''s willing, offer him a spot in The World Guild and a monthly sry of 100,000."


    Celephais''s tone was calm, but it made the nearby yers'' hearts skip a beat.


    A million for a piece of gear?!


    And a monthly sry of 100,000?!


    This guy''s luck is off the charts!


    The yers around them were filled with envy and jealousy.


    The World Guild, being one of the top ten guilds in Summer Country, backed by the James financial conglomerate, offers sries to its members that surpass those of many corporate white-cor workers. If anyone could join The World Guild, they''d probably wake upughing from their dreams!


    Luca, of course, had no idea what others were thinking.


    In the dense, towering forest, his figure moved swiftly among a group of Goblins.


    With the skill "Wind Walk" activated, Luca''s speed increased dramatically.


    The surrounding Goblins couldn''t do anything to stop him; they could only helplessly watch as the ck Steel Spear left deep gashes on their bodies.


    "Roar! Roar! Roar!!!"


    Amidst the sttering blood, the Goblins roared in anger, swinging their machetes and spiked clubs wildly at Luca.


    Unfortunately, they were far too slow and couldn''t even touch a hair on Luca''s head.


    Cassman watch Luca move like a phantom among the monsters.


    He couldn''t help but admire, "This kid doesn''t seem like a newbie at all. No wonder he caught the attention of Guild Leaders Franklin and Lucia."


    Catherine, standing nearby, nodded in agreement, "Luca the Witch Doctor is indeed impressive!"


    When they first came to Beast Forest, Catherine had already felt that Luca didn''t seem like a neer.


    Hisbat experience was richer than that of many veteran soldiers.


    More importantly, Luca''s strength was improving at an astonishing rate!


    In just a day or two, his power had already surpassed that of Kaman and the others, which was incredibly frightening!


    "Maybe it won''t be long before I''m no match for him," Catherine thought, startled by the idea that had suddenly crossed her mind.


    She had spent years elevating her strength to Silver-grade. If Luca could really surpass her in such a short time, it would be utterly absurd!


    Meanwhile, in an inconspicuous corner among the yers...


    A small, cloaked figure hid behind a tree, quietly recording Luca''s battle.


    Watching monster after monster fall to Luca, she clenched her little fists, her eyes full of admiration, eximing excitedly, "As expected of my idol! He''s amazing!"


    This person was none other than the forum user known as "ShadowCat," whose real name was Malina.


    Thanks to the poprity of herst post, she had be one of the first gaming content creators in Eternal Game, specializing in capturing interesting in-game videos. Now, she already had forty to fifty thousand followers.


    Since filming a few videos of Luca, Malina had be his die-hard fan.


    She even spent a fortune to create a fan club for Luca.


    Though, at the moment, she was the only member of that fan club...


    "Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!!!"


    At that moment, countless roars suddenly echoed from deep within Beast Forest.


    Many people looked toward the sound and immediately gasped in shock.


    Suddenly, hundreds of monsters were surging toward the Iron Mountain army and the yers like a tidal wave!


    These monsters were mostly above level 10, with many elite monsters among them.


    Their eyes were blood-red, and their bodies radiated bloodlust and savagery. The sheer ferocity of the hundreds of monsters gathering together was so overwhelming that many yers, experiencing such a scene for the first time, felt their legs turn to jelly.


    One yer, his face full of tension, muttered, "Why do these monsters feel so different from the ones outside?"


    The difference between the monsters in Beast Forest and those on Wind in was stark.


    He was even starting to think that the club-wielding rabbits outside Riverfall City were starting to look cute byparison!


    These monsters were clearly not on the same level as the ones they''d encountered before!


    "It seems Miss Sophia and Luca were right. Luckily, we noticed in time!" Cassman, realizing the unusual nature of these monsters, felt a mix of relief and rising determination. His eyes shed with killing intent.


    These damn beasts! If they break out of Beast Forest, who knows how many people will die because of it!


    "Everyone, prepare for battle!" Cassman shouted the order, drawing the massive sword from his back. Golden streams of energy began to swirl around him, and a powerful aura erupted from his body.


    It was the signature skill of the Knight: "Battle Will"!


    "Kid, if you can''t hold on, don''t forget to call for help!" Cassman warned Luca, then with a powerful stomp, the ground beneath him exploded, and his burly figure shot forward like a cannonball, leading the charge into the horde of monsters!


    Catherine and the others, not wanting to be outdone, drew their weapons and charged into the fray.


    Noticing themotion, Luca''s eyes grew cold.


    These monsters were clearly affected by the nearby node, their power enhanced.


    He could only hope that Sophia would quickly bring in reinforcements from the city. The longer they dyed, the more unpredictable the situation could be.


    As Luca was thinking this, a game notification suddenly popped up in front of him.


    [Ding! Riverfall City yers have triggered the main city quest "Siege of Riverfall City." All Riverfall City yers are eligible to participate!]


    [Quest Description: Arge number of yers from Riverfall City have entered Beast Forest, disturbing the monsters within!]


    [Quest Rewards: yers will receive double experience for killing monsters. Achieving a certain number of kills will earn you reputation points. The top ten yers with the most reputation points will receive exclusive rewards after the quest ends, with higher rankings earning better rewards.]


    It wasn''t just Luca; the notification appeared in front of all the other yers as well.


    The yers immediately erupted in excitement.


    "No way, we triggered arge-scale quest!"


    "Holy crap! Double experience?!"


    "Hahaha, this was totally worth it! If yers from the other main cities find out, they''ll be so jealous!"


    "For the glory of the Kingdom of Clinton! Charge, brothers!"


    "Charge! Charge! For Catherine! Protect Sophia!"


    ...


    After triggering the main city quest, the once-cowardly yers seemed to be injected with adrenaline.


    They raised their weapons and, shouting with excitement, charged toward the monsters.


    At this moment, they werepletely different from their previous selves!
