After giving it some thought, Chen Feng decided to pick a direction and head straight ahead. As long as he spotted something distinctive, like farmland or an abandoned house, his memory should let him figure out where he was and find Baqi City.
With that in mind, Chen Feng immediately used Lingbo Weibu and charged off in one direction. After all, he was in Baqi, and he didn't think any monsters could pose a threat to him.
He ran for about four or five hours, leaving a few monsters behind along the way. Just then, he noticed the scenery around him beginning to change.
The trees grew sparse, and the grass covering the ground began to thin. Patches of dry, yellow earth showed through. Eventually, the landscape became completely barren, with a few scattered, withered trees standing here and there.
This was the edge of the Baqi map.
As a veteran Legend of Mir player, Chen Feng recognized it immediately: this was the wasteland at the northernmost edge of Baqi Province.
He just didn't know whether he was in the northwest or the northeast. If he was in the northeast, following the tall mountains would lead to the entrance to Snake Valley, while heading south would take him to the Baqi Mine Cave.
In the northwest, he would come across the entrance to Woma Forest. Heading west would bring him to the Orc Tomb and the entrance to the Natural Cave.
But the real world was nothing like a game. There were certainly no such things as map entrances, so he would have to work out his location carefully.
While Chen Feng searched for Baqi City, the other Reincarnators were also making their way there. Of course, some lucky ones had appeared close to the city.
At the southeast gate of Baqi City, a Reincarnator waited anxiously. But even after a long time, the person he was waiting for still hadn't shown up.
"Damn it, you bastards! Once we get back, I'll make my father punish you severely!!!" As the young master of the Park family, the largest family in Gaoli Kingdom, Park Ga-ze had never been denied anything he wanted.
"The Legacy of the Magic God." This was a quest item that his father, Hundred-Split Leg Park Ji-woong, ranked 97th in the world, had obtained in an Elite World version of Legend of Mir.
But Park Ji-woong had trained in taekwondo since childhood, and after entering the Reincarnation World, he had focused on physical combat enhancements. So he had never used the quest item, instead keeping it for his descendants or to trade for something he needed.
But ever since Park Ga-ze had discovered it, he had pestered his father for it. Park Ji-woong had insisted, however, that his son had to reach at least D-Class before he could have the quest item.
Park Ga-ze knew his own limits. He understood that he'd be little more than cannon fodder in an Elite World, so he hadn't pressed the issue.
But now that he knew a Normal Grade version of Legend of Mir had appeared, he immediately saw his chance. Without telling his father, he tossed aside the beauty in his arms, took the quest item from his father's secret chamber, and entered the Reincarnation World with several hundred subordinates specially trained by his company.
So many people had entered the Legend of Mir world this time that he didn't know whether his subordinates had been assigned to the same Projection World as him.
Thinking this over, Park Ga-ze decided not to wait any longer and activated the quest item in his hand.
"Activate the quest item 'The Legacy of the Magic God'?"
"Activate!"
"Reincarnator All Korean People has activated the quest item 'The Legacy of the Magic God' and received the Side Quest—The Legacy of the Magic God."
"Side Quest: The Legacy of the Magic God"
"Quest Description: The great wealth amassed by the immigrants has attracted the attention of the native orc tribe.
Beautiful clothes, sturdy brick houses, fine ironware, and delicious crops held great appeal for the orcs, who wore little clothing, had no proper homes, possessed no weapons, and lived on raw meat and blood.
Now, they were no longer content with raiding villages and caravans. Led by four Orc Commanders, a vast Orc Army had gathered in Woma Forest, preparing to seize this beautiful city."
"Quest Requirements: Earn great merit during the orc siege to gain the favor of the Magic God."
"Quest Duration: None"
Orc Commanders? A siege? Earn great merit?
Park Ga-ze was completely overwhelmed. Up until now, he had completed every quest world alongside his father's subordinates. Since a large number of people always entered the corresponding world with him, there had always been someone by his side.
But things were about to get even worse. As soon as his Side Quest had been issued, all the Reincarnators in Projection World 8534 heard a system notification.
"Attention: Reincarnator All Korean People has activated a special quest item. This world has been changed from a Normal Grade World to an Elite World."
"The Main Quest has changed to: Defend Baqi City"
"Quest Description: The great wealth amassed by the immigrants has attracted the attention of the native orc tribe.
Beautiful clothes, sturdy brick houses, fine ironware, and delicious crops held great appeal for the orcs, who wore little clothing, had no proper homes, possessed no weapons, and lived on raw meat and blood.
Now, they were no longer content with raiding villages and caravans. Led by four Orc Commanders, a vast Orc Army had gathered in Woma Forest, preparing to seize this beautiful city."
"Quest Requirements: Defend Baqi City until the Orc Army withdraws."
"Quest Duration: None"
"Warning: The Orc Army will finish assembling in three days. Please enter Baqi City as soon as possible."
"Tip: Think 'Baqi City' to learn the city's exact direction."
For a moment, all the Reincarnators in Projection World 8534 were stunned.
"Fuck! Which bastard activated the quest item? If he wants to die, he shouldn't drag the rest of us down with him!!!"
"Damn it, it was the Gaoli people! If I make it out alive, I swear I'll never let them get away with this!!!"
"An Elite World? Oh, God, I'm only F-Class! How could you do this to me!!!"
At the Baqi Mine Cave entrance, two people were struggling to fight a zombie. When the system message appeared, one of them suddenly froze.
The zombie wasn't about to pass up such a good opportunity. It lunged straight at him, but luckily, his companion reacted quickly and brought down a rake he had picked up from a Rake Cat. The rake punched through the zombie's skull, and the battered creature finally fell to the ground.
"Are you crazy? Do you want to die?" the Reincarnator holding the rake shouted at him. Then he went to check the zombie's corpse.
"Damn, it dropped a Healing Technique Skill Scroll! We're so lucky! Hey, what's wrong with you?" The Reincarnator holding the rake shouted excitedly when he saw the Skill Scroll, but his friend was still standing there, motionless, so he hurriedly asked.
"What's the point of a drop? We're still doomed," the other Reincarnator said dejectedly.
"What are you afraid of? The orcs are surrounding Baqi City. We just don't go there. We can go hunt deer for food, kill zombies now and then, and head back once the quest ends."
"Look at the quest description. This is an Elite World. If Baqi City falls, even if the orcs don't kill us, we'll never be able to return..."
"No way." The rake-wielding Reincarnator recalled the quest description and suddenly paled. He shoved the Skill Scroll into the other man's hand, grabbed him, and ran toward the exit of the Mine Cave. "Come on, let's go to Baqi. I don't care what happens to me, but what about your daughter if you get trapped here? Let's go to Baqi. There are so many of us—we can definitely complete the quest..."
In no time, all the Reincarnators were heading for Baqi City. Anyone brave enough to enter a Normal Grade World had some guts; none of them would just sit around and wait to die.
Park Ga-ze, the one responsible for all this, gritted his teeth, pulled a pale green scroll from his clothes, and tore it open.
In an instant, he was teleported out of the Reincarnation World and appeared in the Reincarnation Sacred Hall.
