Exploration Mission

"How many Soul Coins did you say?" Ye Xue'er asked again, seemingly unable to believe it.

"500 Soul Coins! You can have them all if you can eat them!" Lu Wu said with a smile.

Faced with Ye Xue'er's suspicious look, Lu Wu stepped forward, opened the mutual transaction bar, put 500 Soul Coins on it, and then clicked cancel transaction.

"Believe it now?"

Seeing the 500 Soul Coins in the amount column, Ye Xue'er was very surprised. She knew that she only had about 60 Soul Coins from killing monsters. But the guy in front of her, with his initial equipment, actually had 500 Soul Coins. How could she not be shocked?

"Yes, I want them all!" Ye Xue'er said very decisively.

"Okay, let's go to the trading website, there's a guarantee there!"

"No need, just give me your account number, I'll transfer the money to you now!"

Hearing this, Lu Wu was a little surprised. After all, this was not a small transaction. The value of 500 Soul Coins was 350,000.

But since Ye Xue'er trusted him, Lu Wu didn't care and gave his bank account number.

"Benzi, go transfer the money to him!" Ye Xue'er shouted to the girl beside her.

The girl called Benzi nodded, and her figure disappeared in place.

A moment later, the girl's figure reappeared: "Xueer, the transfer is done!"

Ye Xue'er nodded: "The money has arrived, go check it out!"

Lu Wu shook his head: "Since you trust me, then I trust you too, let's trade."

With that, Lu Wu opened the transaction bar and traded 500 Soul Coins over.

With an amount of 350,000, Lu Wu was naturally not purely trusting, but Bei Li had told him that the money had arrived, this boldness was completely feigned.

After receiving the Soul Coins, Ye Xue'er happily opened the mall and chose a red quality dress worth 400 Soul Coins, the Rainbow Raiment Wings, and put it on.

Suddenly, a colorful light flashed across Ye Xue'er's body, and a gorgeous dress was draped over her.

Seeing that Lu Wu was about to leave, Ye Xue'er reached out and stopped him.

"Is there anything else?"

"How did you get these Soul Coins? A hidden quest?" At this moment, Ye Xue'er's heart was full of curiosity.

"Oh, it's the Soul Collector's quest. I was very lucky. I wandered around and picked up five initial souls and sold them all to the mall."

Everyone: "..."

Originally, Ye Xue'er wanted to ask where she could trigger this hidden quest, but Lu Wu's words left her completely speechless.

This luck was really heaven-defying.

"If there's nothing else, then I'll leave. I want to wander around again to see if I can pick up a few more."

Lu Wu's words made everyone silent again.

After Lu Wu left, Ye Xue'er turned her head and asked everyone, "Has anyone of you picked up that thing?"

Everyone shook their heads.

Just then, a person ran out of the Ghost Mountains in a hurry, looking very flustered:

"Sister Xueer, the brothers have been ambushed!"

Hearing this, Ye Xue'er's expression froze: "Is it the Avengers Alliance again?"

"No, it's by the NPCs in the game!"

Ye Xue'er was stunned: "Tell me specifically, what's going on!"

"Just now, our group of 10 people were looking for players from the Avengers Alliance everywhere in the Ghost Mountains, and we encountered a team of Ghost Soldiers riding wolves. They were wearing armor, and their pupils were burning with flames. They looked very terrifying. When they saw us ten, they actually asked us which Ghost General we belonged to."

"And what did you say?"

"I said we were descendants of the King of Beiqi, and then they chased us and kan us. They killed us all in a moment, leaving only me who luckily fell into a cave and ran away!"

Hearing this, Ye Xue'er suddenly thought of the plot at the beginning of the game. It seemed that the Ghost Kings and Ghost Generals under the King of Beiqi had all betrayed.

Thinking this way, Ye Xue'er understood why these people were being hunted after revealing themselves as descendants of the King of Beiqi.

"Brothers, into the Ghost Mountains, kill the traitors!" Ye Xue'er said coldly.

Having watched the opening CG, Ye Xue'er deeply hated these traitors. The King of Beiqi had sacrificed himself for the countless living beings of the Beiqi land, yet not only were they ungrateful, they even dared to betray him. In Ye Xue'er's eyes, this was simply unforgivable.

Another point was that Ye Xue'er felt that perhaps she could find hidden quests on these Ghost Soldiers.

Subsequently, a mighty hundred-person team advanced into the Ghost Mountains.

Exiting the game, Lu Wu immediately picked up his phone to check the bank's reply:

Your account ending in 6573 has received 350,000, current balance 351,236 yuan.

"Delicious food~ Delicious food~" Bei Li also shouted from the side, her eyes shining.

This money is so damn easy to earn. Looking at the Soul Coins that were still constantly increasing, Lu Wu felt wonderful.

To celebrate the arrival of his first pot of gold, Lu Wu took Bei Li to the best hotel near his home for a good meal. He also bought a lot of snacks for the foodie Bei Li, which made the easily satisfied Bei Li's eyes curve into crescent moons.

Returning home again, it was already dark. Lu Wu sat in front of the computer and first opened the homepage of the Platform173 to check the game voting rankings.

Just as he had thought, Battle Online was still far ahead, and the number of players was still increasing, already reaching eighty thousand.

Now, what Lu Wu needed to consider most was the collection of Soul Coins, how to quickly collect 50,000 to unlock the skill function.

In fact, many players still had Soul Coins on them. How to stimulate their consumption was also a problem that needed to be considered.

This made Lu Wu hesitate whether to launch a war, declaring war on Cha Na, the Ghost General in the east. As long as there was war, consumption would naturally increase greatly.

But Lu Wu thought about it and shook his head, denying his plan. First of all, the number of players had increased, but their strength was still not enough. If the 80,000 players really fought, they would definitely not be able to defeat Cha Na, who had 100,000 Ghost Soldiers. Constant failures would easily frustrate the players' confidence, which would be detrimental to the game experience.

After thinking about it, Lu Wu had a flash of inspiration, and then used the artifact to set a task for players who had reached level 15.

[Exploration Mission: Go to the east of the Netherworld to explore the territory of Cha Na, the Ghost General. The mission reward depends on the scope of exploration.]

The difficulty of this task was undoubtedly extremely high. The strongest players now were only at the level of ordinary Ghost Soldiers.

But the characteristic of players was that they were immortal. Using players to explore the strength of Cha Na's Ghost Soldier army was perfect, and then Bei Li could monitor the players' situation and give him feedback.

After understanding the situation, Lu Wu could then formulate a strategy on how to attack.

An hour after the mission was released in the game, many players began to advance along the road to the east of the Netherworld, preparing to try it out.

Just as Lu Wu was feeling proud of his decision, a server-wide notification suddenly appeared.

[Congratulations to Chen Ziyu for establishing the first guild, "Great Dragon Guild", widely recruiting heroes to build the glory of Beiqi!]
