C140 A Celebration!

Flame Dragon Village was abuzz with joy and laughter when suddenly, a villager piped up:

"Guys, take a look at the new villagers' interface in our system. There are tons of new options and features! Wow, the perks of setting up a Beginner Village are massive!"

"Holy smokes, the villagers' interface is seriously powerful! Incredible!"

"Check this out, there's even a city return scroll!"

In a flash, the villagers were ecstatic, some even breaking into dance to show their excitement.

The reason was simple: the villagers' interface was incredibly potent and alluring.

Each villager who accessed the interface discovered the city return scroll feature.

"City Return Scroll: Spend 20 Loyalty Points to craft a city return scroll in one minute! Once used, it initiates a 10-second chant. If uninterrupted, you'll be teleported back to the Beginner Village after the chant completes."

"Loyalty Points: Earn these by slaying monsters or completing tasks!"

"Note: Regular villagers can make one city return scroll per day, while the Village Chief can make three and use them thrice. As your village reputation grows, you can craft and use more scrolls."

"Reputation levels include Neutral, Friendly, Respectful, and Worshipful. Each level increase grants an additional opportunity to create and use the city return scroll!"

The villagers were beside themselves with excitement.

For Chen Guo, master of the Flying Thunder God Art, the city return scroll was a game-changer. Unlike his art that consumed mana, the scroll required none.

For the average villager, the advantages were boundless, saving precious travel time and making trips back to the village for rest much easier.

Plus, in dire situations, the city return scroll could be a lifesaver. Despite the 10-second cast time, finding a brief window to escape was feasible.

With such robust features, the villagers were more than pleased.

Chen Guo was equally thrilled, realizing that the tremendous benefits of founding the village made all his efforts worthwhile.

The villagers' interface offers more than just the basic city return scroll. In addition to that, there's the return scroll!

"Return Scroll: Costs 20 loyalty points to create. It requires a 10-second casting time. Once used, it teleports you back to the location where you last used the city return scroll. Villagers are limited to one use per day, while the village chief can use it three times. Depending on your reputation, you may earn extra chances to craft and use it."

The return scroll is a fantastic tool, working hand in hand with the city return scroll to provide immense convenience to the villagers.

Typically, after a grueling battle far from home, you could use the city return scroll to return to the village for some much-needed rest. Then, without the arduous journey back to the battlefield, you could simply use the return scroll to teleport right back into action.

The convenience it offers is immeasurable, saving countless hours of travel and significantly boosting the efficiency of trial challengers.

Moved by the idea, Chen Guo crafted a city return scroll. He had plenty of loyalty points to spare, earned from slaying monsters and establishing the village. In fact, he had enough to compose an ode to loyalty.

Without hesitation, Chen Guo activated the city return scroll.

After a brief ten-second incantation, he was whisked away to his personal stone house.

The modest stone dwelling enveloped Chen Guo in a sense of warmth and comfort, reminiscent of a late-night worker finally returning to their cozy nest.

"You've used the city return scroll and have returned to your beginner's house."

"Here, your health, mana, and stamina recovery rates are boosted by an additional 50%!"

It was no surprise that Chen Guo felt a wave of relief upon entering the stone house; the once unremarkable abode now significantly hastened his recovery.

An hour's rest in the stone house was as restorative as seven or eight hours in the wild. The city return scroll was proving to be invaluable.

Ultimately, trial challengers are willing to toil endlessly to survive and grow stronger. Reducing downtime is crucial for their progress.

While the average trial challenger needs seven or eight hours of rest, you only need one. The time saved can be spent defeating a hundred more monsters, steadily widening the gap over time.

"The stone house actually has that kind of effect? That's amazing!"

"It's brilliant. No more resting in the wilds for us; we can head straight back to the city!"

"Truth be told, I've been camping out these past few days, always needing someone to keep watch. Sleeping with one eye open, wary of monster attacks, doesn't make for a good night's rest. And the trek back to Beginner Village is so long. But with this city return scroll, it's a huge relief!"

Curiosity wasn't unique to Chen Guo.

Many villagers had crafted their own city return scrolls and put them to the test.

The results were unanimously positive.

Gathering together, the villagers began to celebrate.

After enduring many days of tense battles without proper rest or relaxation, the birth of Flame Dragon Village gave everyone a secure base to finally unwind.

Around the bonfire, the villagers shared fine wine and food, singing and dancing with joy.

"I was a music student; let me sing a song for everyone."

"I trained in dance and never gave up on my dream of becoming a great dancer. I'll dance for you."

"I can only clap along, but I'll keep the beat for you."

Many villagers with various talents showcased their skills beside the bonfire, making the village's atmosphere even more festive and vibrant.

"What a joyful day! It's just too bad Village Chief Guangcheng isn't here to celebrate with us—it would've been the cherry on top!"

"Well, there's not much we can do. A leader like Village Chief Guangcheng, with so much on his plate, is probably figuring out how to develop the village and doesn't have the luxury of kicking back like we do!"

"Village Chief Guangcheng is truly bearing the weight of progress. Let's raise a toast to his dedication!"

Even though Chen Guo wasn't part of the festivities, leaving some to feel a twinge of disappointment, they all respected him for tirelessly working behind the scenes for the good of all.

"It's a bit of a letdown. If Village Chief Guangcheng were here, I'd take the chance to declare my admiration; I've looked up to him for so long!"

"Lady, with your enthusiasm, Village Chief Guangcheng might just be overwhelmed!"

"Why?"

"Because there's no shortage of passionate beauties like you!"

The crowd erupted in laughter, creating a boisterous atmosphere.
