"Another shitty Jiuzhou dungeon, recommended challenge level 5+? Maybe 15+?"

"Last time I just killed two civilians, got chased eighteen streets by a big shot with challenge level 20+, not counting being killed, they also slapped an Enemy Mark on me; any Jiuzhou-type dungeon will generate disgust toward me."

"You damn well committed a crime; I just entered, and he wants to subdue demons and make me his mount—where the hell am I supposed to reason?"

"Dogshit Reputation is useless; even if you switch worlds, nobody will acknowledge it—it's just a way to turn hostile and not recognize people."

"Don't let me see Jiuzhou again—I'll beat anyone I see!"

"Just looking, it seems they've been beaten before, yet they weren't killed and are still quite strong?"

……

All such accusations are too many to count; Mu Yi thought about the information in his job description, and his mouth twitched involuntarily.

Still haven't left Newbie Village, yet I seem to have piled up a ton of debt and provoked a bunch of potential enemies—what should I do? Waiting online, really urgent.
