Reborn with Infinite System Points, I Can Directly Change Item's Value-Chapter 38 --Level Rankings Unlocked — Zone 5 Hits the Jackpot
Looking at the blue potion and the red potion in his hands, John saw their information appear before his eyes.
[A-rank Mana Potion]
[Alchemist]: John
[Quality]: Perfect-grade
[Effect]: After consumption, MP recovery speed increases by 50%, and maximum MP is additionally increased by 50% for three minutes.
...
[A-rank HP Potion]
[Alchemist]: John
[Quality]: Perfect-grade
[Effect]: After consumption, HP recovery speed increases by 50%, and maximum HP is additionally increased by 50% for three minutes.
...
John directly used system points to modify them.
He raised both the recovery speed and the bonus HP/MP increase to the 70% cap.
He also extended the duration straight to ten minutes.
After the modifications, these two potions were stronger than any potion currently sold in the shops of Eaglecrest City and Novice Village.
After all, the other stores’ potions only restored around 30% HP or MP at most, and they did not even have the additional max HP/MP boost.
But the ones John had crafted and modified were already comparable to perfect-grade S-rank HP and MP Potions.
If they were put in a shop, players would definitely snap them up instantly.
Through the city function, John directly listed all 200 HP and MP Potions in Overload City’s shops.
He ultimately set the price at 100 gold coins each.
It sounded expensive, but compared to their effects, it was already a bargain.
At the same time, it would also give John another source of income.
Still, that was not the main point.
Potions of this quality could earn him even more money if he sold them directly to NPCs.
But what John wanted was for every player entering Overload City to become stronger faster.
With 200 HP and MP Potions available, no player should be able to buy them all out in the short term.
John left the Alchemy Lab.
"My level has been stuck at the Level 50 cap this whole time. I need to complete my Assassin class advancement as soon as possible so I can finally make use of that overflow EXP."
His goal was clear.
He was going to find the Assassin advancement instructor in Eaglecrest City.
Just as he was about to head to the Eaglecrest City Class Instructors Association, a server announcement suddenly rang out across the sky.
[Server Announcement: Congratulations to Zone 5 player "Alan" for becoming the second player to enter a main city. Rewards issued: A-rank Pet Egg x1, 100 gold coins, 30,000 EXP.]
John paused for a moment, then reacted and smiled.
"Looks like that dungeon I set up really is working. At the very least, it’s boosted the players’ leveling speed and efficiency."
The monsters in his Trial Dungeon had no cooldown reset.
There was also no death penalty.
As long as players had enough money, they could grind levels endlessly.
Even if they failed the trial, they could just queue up and enter again and again to farm EXP.
With the help of the Trial Dungeon, it was only natural that the second player on the entire server to enter a main city also came from Zone 5.
Right at that moment, the global announcements rang out again.
And it was not just for one person.
[Server Announcement: Congratulations to Zone 5 player "Lilith" for becoming the second player to enter a main city. Rewards issued: B-rank Pet Egg x1, 90 gold coins, 20,000 EXP.]
[Server Announcement: Congratulations to Zone 5 player "Evelyn" for becoming the second player to enter a main city. Rewards issued: C-rank Pet Egg x1, 80 gold coins, 10,000 EXP.]
[Server Announcement: ...]
The announcements did not stop until all of the rewards for the top ten players to enter a main city had been claimed.
And without exception—
every single one of them belonged to Zone 5!
Even the top positions on the rankings were starting to be heavily occupied by Zone 5 players.
Because they had the Trial Dungeon, this utterly broken leveling tool.
Players in other Zones had to enter dungeons cautiously, coordinate carefully, and avoid death penalties while grinding.
Zone 5 players had no such worries.
They just paid, went in, and fought like mad.
If they died, the worst that happened was they queued up and went again.
In an almost heaven-like leveling environment like this,
even a pig could quickly grind its way to Level 30 and qualify to enter a main city.
...
Looking at those IDs, John fell into thought.
"If I remember correctly, these IDs all seem to belong to the same guild. That guild was called... Bloodbound Guild?"
Bloodbound Guild.
He remembered them clearly.
Because in his previous life, this had been the strongest guild in Zone 5.
By the time the racial war began, they had nearly unified the entire Zone.
Their Guild Leader, Alan, was also a Mage with an SS-rank talent.
"Bloodbound Guild’s combat power really is far above everyone else’s. They’ve actually already cleared the fourth stage of the dungeon, the Thousand-Faced Mage. Once they clear one more stage, they’ll be able to enter my Overload City and become members of my Overlord Guild."
Looking at the row of Bloodbound Guild member names displayed under the fourth-stage dungeon progress, John could only say this much:
As expected of the strongest guild from his previous life—their efficiency was genuinely impressive.
However, not long after the announcements for the first ten players entering the main city had ended, another new announcement sounded.
[Server Announcement: More than 100 players across the server have now entered a main city.
The global Level Rankings are now unlocked!
Note: This ranking measures level only, not combat power.
The top 100 players on the entire server may enter the rankings!]
The Level Rankings and the Power Rankings were two completely separate lists.
Some players might have low levels, but because they possessed SSS-rank skills and SSS-rank equipment, the system would rate their combat power extremely highly.
Meanwhile, other players might have high levels, but only because they had drained resources from their entire guild and forcibly piled levels onto themselves. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Their actual combat power could even be inferior to the former.
"Perfect timing. Let’s see how many people from our Zone 5 made it into the top hundred. I can also use this chance to observe how fast the other Zones are developing."
John opened the Level Rankings.
[Global Level Rankings]
[1st Place]: John (Zone 5, Overlord Guild), Level 50
[2nd Place]: Alan (Zone 5), Level 31
[3rd Place]: Mia (Zone 5), Level 30
[4th Place]: Evelyn (Zone 5), Level 30
[5th Place]: Lex (Zone 4), Level 30
[6th Place]: Ace (Zone 3), Level 30
[7th Place]: Lucy (Zone 2), Level 30
[8th Place]: Fiok (Zone 5), Level 30
[9th Place]: Roy (Zone 1), Level 30
[10th Place]: Zeref (Zone 5), Level 30
...
At a glance,
the top four were all Zone 5 players.
And among the entire top ten, six spots were occupied by Zone 5.
In his previous life, that would have been almost unimaginable.
Because Zone 5 had always been full of solo players fighting on their own.
By the time Bloodbound Guild finally managed to unify the Zone, the other Zones had already completed their integration several versions earlier.
Back then, among the top ten rankings, only Alan from Zone 5 had made it onto the list—and he had been near the bottom.
But now, because of John’s appearance, the entire situation had reversed.
Zone 5 had become the strongest Zone among the five!
It had even completed its consolidation earlier than the others.
Once the Zone 5 players on the rankings cleared the Trial Dungeon, they would immediately become John’s people.
In other words,
every single Zone 5 player currently on the rankings was, without exception, one of John’s subordinates!
After seeing this ranking,
players from all the major Zones were utterly stunned.
