The Goddess's Tear, Main Quest!

Annie never expected Su Yu to possess such high damage, as just two rounds of spells had already depleted 40% of her partner's health!

She hurriedly cast her second skill—[Lava Shield].

Dense fire elements enveloped both her and [Great Bear Tibers], and a thick layer of fire-elemental magic shield appeared on both of them.

Furthermore, after gaining [Lava Shield], the [Movement Speed] of [Great Bear Tibers] increased significantly! The threat posed to Su Yu grew immensely!

The magic shield was thick, and the bear, now with increased movement speed, was even more intimidating, yet Su Yu's expression remained calm.

Two more spells were unleashed, weaving thunder and fire together, and the magic shield on [Great Bear Tibers] crumbled to pieces.

Then, Su Yu performed a graceful side-flip, dodging the bear paw of [Great Bear Tibers], while the glow of magic lit up in his hands once again.

[Great Bear Tibers] tried its absolute best, yet it could not touch the detestable human before it.

Annie's fireballs were the same; they always grazed past Su Yu, missing him by just a hair's breadth every time.

Facing Su Yu's barrage of attacks, the giant bear's health was rapidly depleted until it crashed to the ground with a thud.

Such a formidable boss had been easily dealt with by Su Yu just like that!

In truth, the flow of this hidden quest was not meant to be like this.

The stats of [Great Bear Tibers] were no different from any other level 6 common boss, and even with the magical harassment from the loli Annie, an 8-level boss would not be as difficult to fight as this combination of Annie and the bear!

Ordinary players would have no ability to defeat this duo.

The normal quest flow should have involved the player luring the giant bear into the cave behind them, using the lethal traps inside to grind down [Great Bear Tibers] while ensuring their own survival.

The final ring of this quest was primarily a test of wisdom and luck.

However, Su Yu did not choose to enter the cave, opting instead to force-kill [Great Bear Tibers] right outside.

Perhaps among all the players, only Su Yu had the confidence to do such a thing!

As [Great Bear Tibers] collapsed to the ground, the full 20 rings of the hidden quest were officially completed!

"Ding! Congratulations on completing the Excellent Hidden Quest [Tears of Goddess Savi]! Rewards obtained: Experience Points x1000, [Goddess's Tear (Excellent)] x1."

At the same time, a slit opened in the bulging belly of [Great Bear Tibers], and a crystal-clear, teardrop-shaped piece of equipment fell out.

It was exactly the [Goddess's Tear]!

But Su Yu was in no rush to pick up the equipment.

He looked at the loli Annie with a smile: "Annie, have you played enough? Do you want Uncle to take you home for dinner?"

Su Yu did not attack Annie because she had entered an [Immunity] state the moment the battle began, making her unable to take physical or magical damage.

The loli Annie was so angry her face turned livid.

After [Great Bear Tibers] fell, she also lost the ability to continue using spells to attack Su Yu.

"Hmph! We'll see! Sooner or later, I will trap you in these thorns just like Tibers!"

Annie glared fiercely at Su Yu, then turned and walked toward the edge of the forest.

"Tsk tsk, I'm afraid you won't get the chance!" Su Yu rubbed his chin.

Then, he raised a hand, activating a [Fireball] scroll, and burned the bushes on the ground to ashes.

With the bushes all burned away, how could she trap him?

In the distance, Annie saw Su Yu's actions and stumbled, nearly falling to the ground.

However, she didn't say anything else and left the forest without looking back.

On the other side, Su Yu picked up the [Goddess's Tear].

[Goddess's Tear (Excellent)]

Accessory

Maximum Mana +100

Trait: For every skill you cast, [Goddess's Tear] will gain an additional 3 points of Maximum Mana, up to a maximum of 360 points.

Note: A crystal of the Tears of Goddess Savi, which to some extent implies misfortune and bad luck. Once the additional mana of [Goddess's Tear] reaches its limit, the [Upgrade Quest] for [Goddess's Tear] will be unlocked.

Su Yu subconsciously used [Star Point Hand] to upgrade the [Goddess's Tear] to Rare quality.

[Goddess's Tear (Rare)]

Accessory

Maximum Mana +150

Trait: For every skill you cast, [Goddess's Tear] will gain an additional 3 points of Maximum Mana, up to a maximum of 450 points.

[Goddess's Tear] has no equipment level requirement.

Moreover, once the Rare quality [Goddess's Tear] is fully stacked, it provides a full 600 points of mana!

One must know that Su Yu's current mana is only 140 points; equipping this is equivalent to multiplying his mana several times over!

But this was not the most important thing.

Su Yu stared at the "Upgrade Quest" note in the [Goddess's Tear] description, lost in a daze.

"An Upgrade Quest?! This is actually a piece of equipment that comes with an Upgrade Quest!"

A subtle ripple of emotion appeared on Su Yu's usually calm face.

Even with the experience of a previous life, he found it hard to believe.

Based on his memories from his previous life, he knew exactly what equipment labeled with an "Upgrade Quest" meant.

This kind of equipment meant—a Main Quest! The Main Quest for the entire "Evolution" game world!

"Evolution" had many paths for its Main Quest, and each path came with generous rewards.

Some Epic-level or even Legendary-level equipment, skills, and mounts were only produced through Main Quests.

It could be said that any player who successfully completed a Main Quest in his previous life was inevitably a big shot! Without exception!

In his previous life, Su Yu had only heard of "Main Quests" and "upgradable equipment," but he had never actually encountered one.

He never expected to come across one so early in the game in this life!

Su Yu couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.

However, Su Yu also secretly warned himself: Don't be careless! Main Quests are not easy to complete! The player who completed the [Goddess's Tear] quest in my previous life was permanently banned; that might have been the penalty for failing a Main Quest. I must be cautious!

Su Yu forced himself to calm down.

After steadying his nerves, he headed toward the Novice Village.

Regardless, he should first go to the monster area and stack up the [Goddess's Tear]!

Just as Su Yu was returning to the Novice Village, at the entrance of the Wolf King Valley to the west of the village.

"Hey! Uncle, I heard you listened to Goddess Savi's Song the day before yesterday?"

Snowflake called out to the Redbeard Woodcutter in front of her, her face full of excitement.

She had just accepted a Hidden Quest.

After completing only 10 rings, she and her father had already leveled up to level 2, which was much faster than grinding monsters!

Moreover, the Hidden Quest rewards were very generous, giving both her and her father a green-quality weapon each. She was very much looking forward to the rest of the quest's storyline.

But the Woodcutter Uncle poured a bucket of cold water over her: "I'm sorry, young lady, my daughter Annie's wish has already been fulfilled by another adventurer. We don't need your help anymore."

At the same time, Snowflake and Snowflake Cream received a quest failure notification.

Snowflake stood there, dumbfounded: "Who? Who stole our Hidden Quest?"

Having a Hidden Quest snatched away halfway through felt as uncomfortable as having a fish bone stuck in one's throat.

Snowflake Cream, however, rolled his eyes, stepped forward, and asked in a friendly manner: "Brother, could you tell us which adventurer fulfilled Annie's wish? We are good friends of Annie's, and we would really like to know."

"I can't say that." The woodcutter ignored them, shouldered his firewood, and continued walking toward the village.

Snowflake Cream unhurriedly took a piece of [Wild Boar Meat] from his backpack and chased after him with a beaming smile:

"Brother, brother, wait a moment! It must be very hard for you to go up the mountain to chop wood every day! This piece of Wild Boar Meat is for you. Take it back and make a pot of soup to provide some nutrition for you and Annie!"
