Special Services at the Five Star Hotel
The Demon Blade Oni-Slayer a pretty good, Fine-level weapon. It's much better than the Ogre's Tongue. To be honest, Luo Jun was a little envious. After the Ogre's Tongue was cut off, he was in need of a suitable weapon.
However, he still had to maintain his public image, so he nodded slightly and said calmly, "Not bad."
"It's all thanks to you!" Sun Xiaowei smiled at Luo Jun. "If it were me, I definitely wouldn't have made it to the Seventh Layer, let alone defeated the guardian. Now I not only cleared the level, but I also received a good rating... This is the first time I've obtained a treasure from Tier B Mission! It's worth commemorating! I'll take a picture and post it on the forum as soon as I get back to reality!"
A good rating... Luo Jun guessed in his heart that in Tier B Mission, an excellent rating would probably be Rare-level, like the Pig Biscuit he got at the Midnight Hotel last time. In comparison, for this mission, an excellent rating would probably correspond to that hammer.
Based on this, the Guardian's three genuine Noble Phantasms are of Legendary, Epic, and Rare-level. After defeating him and completing the mission, you will receive replicas of these three Noble Phantasms based on the evaluation. If you defeat him solo and fulfill the hidden conditions, you can turn the replicas into genuine ones.
There can be many counterfeit items, but there is only one genuine item. So if multiple people complete the game, each person may have a counterfeit demon sword or Great Hammer, but only by defeating the original can one obtain the genuine item.
So this is the reward mechanism for this mission? Normally, you can only get one reward for completing the mission, but there is a chance to get a gold-level Noble Phantasm by exception, so the difficulty is higher than that of a regular Tier B Mission.
The Guardian is an incredibly powerful monster, and with three high-level Noble Phantasms at its disposal, it's difficult to defeat even with multiple people working together, let alone kill it alone. The difficulty in obtaining it justifies the power of the Golden Noble Phantasm, the Heaven Returning Mirror.
On top of that, Luo Jun actually managed to find a loophole and obtain a counterfeit item in addition to the main storyline rewards.
Luo Jun guessed that, if we were to consider a perfect completion, the Guardian Goddess Challenge Room would be the most difficult in this mission. After all, there was absolutely no room for trickery in this challenge; you could only rely on sheer energy. Apart from him, who else could provide more than 500 units of energy to survive until the final stage?
Even if they survived the Guardian Goddess, their energy would be greatly depleted, making it virtually impossible to defeat the guardian alone.
To obtain the genuine Elemental Construct Box, one must complete the Hidden Mission of the Guardian Goddess and defeat the enhanced Guardian alone. Only by fulfilling these two demanding conditions can one obtain this reward. Luo Jun guessed that this should be a higher-level reward than the genuine Heaven Returning Mirror!
More convinced that his choice was correct, Luo Jun felt smug, but dared not show it on the surface.
"Xiao Wei, I have a favor to ask you." With the return time fast approaching, Luo Jun suddenly called out to Sun Xiaowei.
"Huh? Ah? Ah... you said... you said..." Sun Xiaowei was momentarily dazed, her heart pounding: Did he just call me Xiao Wei? We just met, is it really okay to be so intimate?
"Please don't tell anyone how I defeated the guards," Luo Jun said earnestly.
The Elemental Construct Box is too easily recognizable. If information about it spreads, Luo Jun will inevitably be associated with Ye if he uses this treasure in the real world. The fewer people who know about this treasure, the better.
"Why?" Sun Xiaowei didn't quite understand. "You single-handedly took down Tier B big boss! How impressive! If someone else did such a feat, they'd want the whole world to know. I can't wait to write a post about you!"
"No!" Luo Jun immediately refused, his attitude firm and his tone icy. "This treasure of mine is very dangerous. If people find out you've seen it, it could bring you to your death!"
Luo Jun deliberately emphasized his words, trying to scare Sun Xiaowei, but little did he know that his words would have a different meaning in the ears of the lovestruck girl.
He's afraid I'll be in danger! Is he worried about me?
Sun Xiaowei's heart pounded, and she blushed, stammering, "I... I understand... Well then, let's exchange contact information. We can keep in touch when we get back to reality. I still have to thank you for saving me..."
"No..." Luo Jun refused, "It's too dangerous to get involved with me!"
After saying that, he chose to return to reality, leaving Sun Xiaowei alone in the empty white room, with a lovesick expression on her face.
As Space Distortion, Luo Jun's figure slowly appeared in Guest Room of the "Five-Star Hotel".
He must have left around 4 PM, having spent less than four hours in the Tower of Choice, and it's now exactly 8 PM. However, due to the Endurance Challenge, Luo Jun feels like almost twenty days have passed, and the Guest Room looks somewhat unfamiliar...
After removing the Midnight Mask and storing it in his Hundred Treasure Box, Luo Jun first called his teacher to let him know he was safe and briefly explained the mission.
Old Yuan didn't care what reward he received; he was just glad his disciple was alright. In his words, the treasures rewarded by the Chaos Mission were merely external things; true masters should focus on their own cultivation!
After hanging up the phone, Luo Jun left the Guest Room.
Since he leveled up during Endurance Challenge, and the warming effect had lasted for six or seven hours, Luo Jun was actually quite hungry. He left the room, intending to get something to eat.
As soon as he stepped outside, he saw Ya Ya leading a young couple carrying luggage inside.
"Hey bro, is this the Five Star Hotel you were talking about?" The girl looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old, with shoulder-length silver hair and a very delicate face, but her brows revealed a sharp temperament, coupled with an impatient expression, making her seem like someone not to be trifled with at first glance.
She was of medium to tall stature and quite slender. Her clothing was very revealing, with a white backless sports vest on top and tight-fitting black knee-length shorts on the bottom, making her look as if she had just come out of the gym.
As for the older brother, he looked five or six years older than the girl. He also had silver hair and handsome features, but his clothes were much simpler, with loose-fitting linen clothes that resembled the training clothes of a martial arts school.
"This was recommended by Da Wei, who said the food here is delicious," the older brother explained.
"You can believe Da Wei? He's like a panda, all he does is sleep and eat all day!" The girl expressed her dissatisfaction as she followed Ya Ya to the door.
"Just one room?" The girl's cheek twitched as she looked at the two beds in the room.
"His place is really popular; you're lucky if you can even book a room," the older brother said. "What's there to be embarrassed about? I used to wipe your bottom every time you went to the toilet when you were little!"
"If you say one more word, believe me, I'll beat you up!!" The younger sister blushed and angrily retorted after her older brother exposed her weakness, but she still went into the room in the end.
"Is their food good?" Luo Jun gleaned the key information from the conversation and walked over to Ya Ya had just given directions to the siblings. "What kind of food do they serve?"
Ya Ya glanced at him. "It's past lunchtime now, but there are still some steamed buns left. I can heat them up for you."
"Alright..." Luo Jun asked, "How much?"
"Money? No money needed!" Ya Ya said matter-of-factly, "It's all in the room rate. As long as you eat on the first floor on time, it's all free. But the tables on the first floor are cleaned now. If you want some, I'll heat it up and bring it to your room."
The service was quite attentive.
Luo Jun thanked her and went back to his room to wait. Before long, the girl brought over several steaming hot buns.
Luo Jun broke one open; it was filled with pork and cabbage. It looked no different from a regular homemade bun. It smelled quite fragrant, but it wasn't particularly amazing. Was this the delicious bun that the white-haired brother had mentioned?
Luo Jun tried taking a bite. At first, he didn't feel anything special, but as he chewed, he felt a gentle warm current flow down his mouth and into his throat, which then began to nourish his body!
This is...
Luo Jun looked at the steamed bun in his hand in surprise. Upon closer inspection, he noticed that there were faint specks of radiant energy between the filling and the dough.
This food is infused with vitality?! You can even do it this way?
Ordinary Cultivators obviously cannot do this; it must be some kind of special ability. Ordinary people would not feel much after eating these buns, at most they would find them more delicious and more filling. However, Cultivators can absorb the vital energy within them, which helps regulate their Inner Breath, heal injuries, and so on.
So that's why Old Deng booked this "Five Star Hotel" for him—the owner here has extraordinary abilities in cooking!
A place like this must be expensive. Booking for three months in a row must have cost a fortune. Compared to that, the 50,000 yuan entrance fee is really nothing...
It seems I misunderstood him. Old Deng... no, Master really had good intentions...
Thank Qing Jin Ya for the 100 Origin Point Coin!
