Global Announcement: "Ding~ Attention all players in the Apocalypse world, darkness is descending. The [God of Death: Golden Skeleton King] will invade each major Safe Zone in 6 hours. Please prepare to defend your homes!"

Global Announcement: "Ding~ Attention all players in the Apocalypse world, darkness is descending. The [God of Death: Golden Skeleton King] will invade each major Safe Zone in 6 hours. Please prepare to defend your homes!"

Global Announcement: "Ding..."

Global Announcement: "Ding~ The cross-region chat channel feature is now open. Players can send cross-region messages by spending a certain amount of money! (Limited to Safe Zones within the same Grand Zone)"

As the System repeated the global announcement three times, the chat channels in each Safe Zone across the Apocalypse world exploded instantly. Meanwhile, the newly opened cross-region chat channel was immediately flooded by countless players—

Cross-region Chat Channel of Grand Zone 8—

[Buji Island] (Zone 991, Male, Level 15 Mage): "God of Death? What the heck? And what's the Golden Skeleton King? (Confused) (Confused)"

[Top Expert] (Zone 538, Male, Level 16 Assassin): "Haven't you read the official Apocalypse announcements? It was mentioned long ago that on the third day after the server opens, all Novice Villages will face a mandatory BOSS battle. Today is the third day, and the BOSS battle is about to start! (Excited)"

[Jun Moxiao] (Zone 69, Male, Level 16 Priest): "I heard that the first Safe Zone to defeat the BOSS will earn rich rewards for all its players!"

[Diao Xiaochan] (Zone 777, Female, Level 14 Archer): "I haven't really looked at the announcement. Can any expert tell me, will all Safe Zones be attacked by the BOSS, or will multiple Safe Zones fight the same BOSS together?"

[Lu Xiaobu] (Zone 777, Male, Level 16 Warrior): "Don't worry, honey, I'll protect you!"

[King's Glory] (Zone 886, Male, Level 15 Archer): "You trash from other zones, the first kill of the Golden Skeleton King will definitely be ours in Zone 886. Just give up resisting! (Cool) (Cool)"

[Absolute Beauty] (Zone 1, Male, Level 17 Warrior): "Be careful not to get wiped out by the BOSS. I heard that if the BOSS breaks through a Safe Zone, everyone there will be wiped out!"

Zhang Yi checked and found that currently, sending a cross-region message costs 10 Silver Coins. These people must be really rich with nothing better to do. After all, five messages could buy a steak dinner, and yet there are even couples chatting in the cross-region channel. It's truly impressive...

As the System's announcement just ended, the NPC guard [Mog] at the entrance of the Security Hall suddenly had a yellow question mark appear above his head!

"It's refreshed!"

Zhang Yi immediately, with a hint of excitement, walked over to Mog.

Reborn, Zhang Yi possessed the ability to foresee events.

On the third day after the server opened, all Safe Zones would precisely at 6 PM face an invasion from a Level 20, 1-star major BOSS from the Undead City, the Golden Skeleton King. At that time, players from each Safe Zone needed to band together to fight the BOSS. If the BOSS is defeated, all players in the Safe Zone will receive rewards, and the first player to kill the BOSS will receive unparalleled rich rewards.

Additionally, he knew that on the day the BOSS battle starts, at the same time as the global announcement, each Safe Zone would refresh a special quest. If any player in a Safe Zone completes that quest, it would cause the BOSS to invade that player's Safe Zone earlier.

Moreover, completing that quest could weaken the Golden Skeleton King's strength.

This way, it would allow players in that Safe Zone to confront the BOSS earlier, increasing their chances of securing the first kill compared to other Safe Zones.

And the special quest that could make the Golden Skeleton King invade the Safe Zone earlier was right in front of Zhang Yi.

This quest is unique to each Safe Zone, and the trigger time is only half an hour, from 12:00 to 12:30. If no one accepts the quest during this time, it will disappear.

In the previous life, a player from one Safe Zone discovered this quest, completed it, and caused the BOSS to invade their Safe Zone earlier. However... they couldn't withstand the BOSS's onslaught, and the entire zone was wiped out by the BOSS.

Zhang Yi must secure the first kill of the Golden Skeleton King because he vaguely remembers that the player who got the first kill in the previous life received a massive reward of 10,000 reputation points from the System! Of course, there were other rich rewards as well.

No matter how strong Zhang Yi's personal strength is, he cannot mobilize the entire Safe Zone. What is coming is a battle that requires all players in the Safe Zone to join forces.

Therefore, the BOSS must invade Hope Town earlier so Zhang Yi can have a chance to secure the first kill of the Golden Skeleton King.

Thus, Zhang Yi approached the NPC guard Mog and initiated a conversation.

"Honorable guard, you seem troubled. What's the matter?"

"Ah!" Mog sighed, his face full of worry. "Disaster is about to befall Hope Town. Who can stop the Golden Skeleton King?"

"If everyone in Hope Town unites, we can definitely do it."

Mog shook his head and continued, "Unless we can do something before the Golden Skeleton King invades Hope Town."

At this moment, Zhang Yi asked, "Is there anything I can do for you?"

"The Golden Skeleton King's lair is the Undead City. Young man, if you can go to the Undead City and hunt some skeletons and undead there, it might weaken the Golden Skeleton King's combat power!"

As Mog finished speaking, a System prompt sounded in Zhang Yi's ear—

"Ding~ Would you like to accept the quest [Hunt Skeletons] (Your reputation exceeds 500 points, meeting the quest acceptance criteria)?"

This is the role of reputation.

In the Apocalypse world, many advanced quests, even hidden quests, require players to have a certain level of reputation to accept them. In the previous life, many players faced the heartbreaking situation of finding a hidden quest but being unable to accept it due to insufficient reputation.

Moreover, later on, the System will open a Reputation Store, allowing players to exchange reputation for various top-tier equipment and items.

Thus, Zhang Yi chose to accept the quest without hesitation, but the System's next prompt left him baffled—

"Ding~ The System has detected that your party has fewer than five members, so you cannot accept the quest!"

Damn, this quest is actually a team quest?

This was somewhat unexpected for Zhang Yi because, to be honest, he didn't want to team up with anyone unless absolutely necessary.

Since this quest requires a team to accept, there's no other choice.

Reluctantly, Zhang Yi opened the regional chat interface, edited a message, and sent it out.

[Yinuo Qingcheng] (Male, Level 17 Beastmaster): "Anyone want to team up to raid the Undead City? Need four more, I'll lead, you just need to lie down."
