Twelve Flavors

Miasma permeated the dimly lit, unknown grove, the occasional caw of a crow echoing within. After walking for a long time in the deep marsh, Ji Feng finally arrived before a massive cave.

The entrance to the deep cave was covered in layers of footprints. On top of the footprints and mud, shed scales were faintly visible. Picking up a scale from the ground, Ji Feng confirmed that this was indeed the Murloc's lair.

Normally, Dragonflights have their own nests, and their Dragon Eggs hatch within these caves. Currently, the system map clearly showed life signs inside the cave, meaning there were likely Dragon Eggs or Young Murlocs within.

The top of this cave was studded with luminous stones, allowing Ji Feng to get a rough view of the interior.

Through the haze, he saw the creatures within; it seemed there were live Young Murlocs inside.

"System Quest: War Legion."

"Quest Requirements: Powerful Murlocs are undoubtedly the best war machines. This is a force that can change the tide of battle in Pandaria. Steal the Dragon Eggs under the cover of the bushes."

"Quest Reward: Achievement Points +10. Unlock Garrison Basic System (Loading, Progress 1%)."

The moment Ji Feng saw the Young Murlocs, the quest appeared. He hadn't expected the system to mention the "Garrison" this time.

"Alchemy Laboratory, Forge, Enchanting Study, Stables... I wonder if this Garrison Basic System includes these. If it does, I won't have to worry about potions and equipment anymore..." Ji Feng couldn't help but sigh.

It had been over half a month since he arrived in Azeroth, and the potions, bandages, and other items in his backpack were almost depleted. Unlocking the Garrison now undoubtedly solved his worries.

In World of Warcraft's Warlords of Draenor expansion, every player could establish their own Garrison. Garrisons automatically produced ore and herbs and provided players with comprehensive assistance. At this moment, just thinking of the word "Garrison" made Ji Feng's heart race.

"The Murlocs in this cave should still be juveniles, their combat power should be far inferior to adult Murlocs. Stealing Dragon Eggs shouldn't be too difficult! Regardless, I'll go in and take a look first..."

According to the system map, the juvenile Murlocs were marked with red skull icons, meaning their combat power should not be underestimated. If it were any other time, Ji Feng wouldn't have risked entering the cave, but for the Garrison system, he had to take the gamble.

Taking a deep breath, he cautiously stepped into the Murloc lair.

In World of Warcraft, there was a famous swamp known as "The Stranglethorn Vale." The reason for its fame was the dragon nests within. That swamp was precisely the territory of the Black Dragon princess, Onyxia.

Compared to Onyxia's lair, this unknown cave was vastly inferior. After walking only a few dozen steps, Ji Feng saw two sleeping juvenile Murlocs and three unhatched Dragon Eggs.

Black Dragons had much greater reproductive capabilities than Murlocs. While Onyxia laid a hundred Dragon Eggs at a time, Murlocs could only lay one or two. Ji Feng had expected to get many Dragon Eggs upon entering the cave, not realizing there would be so few.

"Hoo hoo..."

Inside the cave, the juvenile Murlocs were snoring loudly. Even in their sleep, they exuded a formidable aura.

Although these two young beasts couldn't compare to that elite Murloc, their bodies were still quite large. Ji Feng roughly estimated that if they stood up, they would be at least as tall as a building.

"System Notification: Live stream maintenance complete. Broadcast will begin shortly."

Just as Ji Feng was staring at the two juvenile Murlocs, the system's voice sounded again. The live stream system had now been upgraded to Lv6.

As the notification sounded, the live stream slowly began. It was around 1 PM, right after lunch, a prime time for watching live streams.

With the live stream activated, comments immediately flooded the screen.

"Just finished eating, and Brother Feng's stream is already up. Awesome."

"I'm playing my main account while watching Brother Feng's stream, and having a cigarette. This is the life."

"Brother Feng, where are you having fun now? Why is the stream so dark? Are you somewhere... unspeakable?"

"Streamer brother, my mom is preparing lunch. I'll call my dad and mom to watch the stream later. Don't do anything weird! I'm still a child, so cute and innocent..."

Nothing was different from usual; the veteran viewers logged in immediately. If Ji Feng were in a good place, he might have chatted with his viewers, but now, being in a "tiger's den," he had no interest.

Adjusting the camera, he directly switched the view to the juvenile Murlocs.

"Viewers, I am Ji Feng. I have left Whispering Cloud Village and am now in a Murloc lair. What you are seeing now are juvenile Murlocs and Murloc Dragon Eggs – yes, the super Murlocs that can grow into Uldyssian and Sok."

"Today, I plan to livestream stealing Dragon Eggs and making them into 'Twelve Flavors' delicacies... tea eggs..."

As a professional boastful streamer, Ji Feng naturally wouldn't let the live stream atmosphere become dull. At this moment, he didn't mention the quest at all, but instead focused on food.

The moment he finished speaking, a large number of comments flooded the live stream.

"Brother Feng, don't be too arrogant. Stealing Dragon Eggs to make tea eggs? Do you think we're all idiots? Confess and you'll be treated leniently!"

"Watching Brother Feng commit suicide..."

"Stealing Murloc eggs? Let me have a '82 sister to calm my nerves."

"Anyone else got an '82 sister? I'll trade you for a bottle of '82 Sprite and half a bag of Weilong spicy strips..."

"Brother Feng, this quest is so easy! Just walk over, pick up a Dragon Egg, and walk out, right?"

"Stealing Dragon Eggs, streamer, don't court death! Don't underestimate juvenile Murlocs; they are definitely elite-level monsters. If you anger them, you'll probably turn into a pile of bones tonight."

"Brother Feng, I'm a biology student. These carnivorous animals usually have a keen sense of smell. If you get any closer, they'll wake up."

As expected, the comments offered no help to Ji Feng.

"Viewers, I'm really planning to make tea eggs. Also, you all think I'm dreaming about stealing Dragon Eggs? You underestimate me too much!" Boasting, facing backlash, and making a comeback – without challenges, there's no show effect. The more difficult the task, the better the show effect upon success. At this moment, Ji Feng insisted on his boastful claim.

The quest issued by the system had to be completed. Rather than letting his viewers know it was a quest, it would be more interesting to play it off as a spontaneous challenge.

"Viewers, once I get the Dragon Eggs, we'll start the 'Twelve Flavors' livestream? We'll livestream cooking tea eggs then."

After chatting with his viewers in a relaxed tone, Ji Feng cautiously moved forward.

These Dragon Eggs possessed an extremely powerful life force. Even from a distance, Ji Feng could feel that life force; given enough time, the life within the eggs could break free.

"Vibrant Murloc Egg: Incubation Time 30 Days, Unique, Cannot be Picked Up."

As expected, these eggs couldn't be put into the system backpack. Ji Feng had initially thought of forcefully taking the three eggs and retreating from the Murloc lair as quickly as possible, but that plan was now unfeasible.

Taking a deep breath, Ji Feng suppressed his unease and slowly walked deeper into the cave.
