The Only Special Hidden Main Quest
"You really are outstanding, this is your reward!"
After Old Wang completed his mission, General Zhang looked at Old Wang and said...
The person in front of him had completed the highest level of advancement challenge at level 20, which was unprecedented.
How many years has it been since anyone completed a challenge of this level?
Fifty years or a hundred years? He couldn't remember anymore. He only remembered that the last person to complete this challenge and advance was Xun Min, who was now at the pinnacle of power in the Alliance.
While part of the reason for this is that although the challenge is difficult, the advanced level is no different from the Normal advancement path, but this is not a reason to deny his strength.
"System notification: You have completed the End of the Path of Transcendence, your Mecha has advanced to the Elite-Grade, and you have become Intermediate Mecha Pilot."
Elite: Your Mecha has successfully stood out from countless Normal Mecha, but don't be arrogant, your Path of Transcendence has only just begun.
Health +50%
Magic Power +50%
As soon as the task was completed, Old Wang immediately felt a surge of power flowing into his body, and his own strength also increased significantly.
Then, looking at the attributes, both health and Magic Power were over 10,000.
At the same time, the name above his head changed from white to blue, indicating that he had become an elite.
"Thank you, General!"
Looking at his own attributes, he was as happy as an Old Wang named Wang who looked like a fool. After thanking General Zhang, he prepared to leave, but General Zhang called him back.
"Wait a moment, I have something else to tell you!"
"Please speak!" Upon hearing that there was still a task to be completed, Old Wang immediately stopped in his tracks.
"You've probably heard that Little Huang is in trouble, but you probably don't know what kind of trouble he's in."
"Yes!"
"Little Huang... betrayed the Alliance and fled to the Outer Domain!" General Zhang said in a very low and somber voice.
"What?!" General Zhang's words made Old Wang exclaim in shock.
It's understandable that he was making a fuss; someone in General Huang's position was practically at the Pinnacle of Power within the Alliance, yet he would betray Alliance.
"Why?" Old Wang asked after calming down.
"The specific reason is unclear, but we received news that he killed Jiang Ford, the highest-ranking officer of the Alliance Science Corps, and then defected from the Alliance to the Outer Domain!"
General Zhang paused for a moment after saying this, his tone somewhat low.
It seems that Old Huang's "defection" had a great impact on him. After calming down, he continued:
"You should know that Little Huang is my disciple. I felt something was off when he asked me to take over the Homeworld Base for him."
I had already sent people to investigate, but this problem arose before any results were available.
I don't believe he's the kind of person who would betray humanity. There must be something going on, so I need your help!
"What can I do?" Old Wang asked.
"Sigh~ Whatever Little Huang's reasons were, many people witnessed him killing Jiang Ford and fleeing to the Outer Domain."
Therefore, to avoid suspicion, my people are finding it difficult to take action.
"I need your help to investigate why all of this happened. Can you do that?" General Zhang asked.
"System notification: General Zhang has issued you a unique Hidden Main Quest [Alliance Secrets]. Do you accept?"
"Accept!"
"... I'll do my best," Old Wang said after a moment of silence, looking at the information-packed system notification.
He really didn't dare to make any promises about this mission; it was definitely the most difficult mission he had ever taken on since he entered the game.
The keywords "unique," "special," "main storyline," and "hidden" all carry extremely high rewards when appearing in a quest.
They're now both on the same mission, and the rewards for that mission could be amazing.
But this will inevitably come with hellish difficulty, but you should definitely accept the quest; what's the point of playing a game if you don't take on the quests?
"Don't worry, you won't have to start the investigation from scratch. Although my people haven't found out what's wrong with Little Huang, they have found some clues."
Before killing Jiang Ford, he went to Heavenly Prison Star; there should be some clues there."
After General Zhang finished speaking, Old Wang's task was updated.
Alliance Secrets Part 1 (The only special hidden main storyline): General Zhang asks you to investigate the reasons why General Huang, the former commander of the Homeworld Base, defected to the Alliance. There may be unimaginable secrets hidden behind this.
Mission Requirements: Investigate clues on Heavenly Prison Star (0/3)
Rewards: 50,000 Gold Crystal, 1 Perfect-Grade Skill Chest, 1 Nebula-class Battleship Core Engine, 1 Random Legendary Material
Number of participants limited to 1
Just as Old Wang had imagined, this mission offered rewards that surpassed the limits of ordinary missions, and might even have a difficulty level that exceeded those limits.
He needs to make a good plan!
After bidding farewell to General Zhang, Old Wang left the command post.
General Zhang watched his retreating figure with a thoughtful expression. At the same time, Quartermaster Ma Hua Teng and Security Officer Chi Xu came up behind him.
"Can the general find out?" Chi Xu asked.
"I don't know, but he's our only chance. As soon as Old Huang's problem came out, those people started keeping a close eye on us," General Zhang.
"Was there any news from the General Ye?"
"Him? Nobody can understand what he's thinking right now. He's been on that Planet for 300 years and hasn't moved. Otherwise, the Neutral Faction wouldn't be so disorganized and practically defunct now!"
You don't need to worry about these things. Just be careful during this time and don't give those people any excuses.
"Yes!"
~~~
After leaving the command center, Old Wang didn't log off immediately. Instead, he went to the Night Wharf to find out where the Heavenly Prison Star was.
He had seen this place in the background of the Black Shark story and had also tried to find it on star charts.
However, currently, not only him, but all Player in the game have been unable to find this location on the star map.
This place seems to exist nowhere; there's absolutely no information about it on the map.
He had initially considered asking Zero to inquire, but after thinking about it, he gave up on the idea, deciding it was best not to bother them with such a small matter.
Old Wang quickly arrived at the Night Wharf and found Alan and his two companions.
"Are you starting to retire and enjoy your old age?"
When Old Wang entered the room where the three were, he saw one person holding a large enamel mug, and the three of them sitting in a row drinking tea. His lips twitched.
Although I had this intention when I gave you this, your comprehension is just too damn good!
"No, but it will be soon!" Yuan Wuji said, putting down his teacup after seeing Old Wang.
The Dark Night Organization is in a worse state due to suppression from some members of the Alliance. Although its Nightclub business has not been affected much, its intelligence business has basically come to a standstill.
The three of them didn't know anything about business, so they could only retire here.
Upon hearing this, Old Wang didn't say anything about their situation, but instead said, "Since you like this tea mug so much, I'll give you some more good tea!"
After saying that, Old Wang took out a bag of Perfect tea [Pre-Qingming Longjing], which was a real treasure for them.
Even Old Wang doesn't have many of these Perfect tea and wine treasures. For some NPCs, these items are even more precious than Legendary items.
"Um... why don't you tell me what you're doing first!" Yuan Wuji looked at the tea leaves in Old Wang's hand, swallowed hard, and said with difficulty.
After spending this time together, they had come to understand Wang Qianduo's personality to some extent, which can be summarized as "he doesn't come to the temple without a reason."
The fact that he could produce such an item means that he has a great request. For Dark Night now, they wouldn't dare to take on some deals that are too big!
"Alright! But regardless of whether you can help me or not, this tea is yours for the taking!"
Old Wang sat down, pushed the tea leaves towards the three of them, and then, without waiting for them to say anything, waved his hand and continued:
"I just came here for no other reason than to ask if Dark Night has any clues about the Heavenly Prison Star."
"Phew~ This is it! If that's what it is, then we'll take the tea," the three said with a sigh of relief.
"Tell me quickly!"
"Okay, it's like this..." The three of them quickly told Old Wang about Heavenly Prison Star.
It turns out that although Heavenly Prison Star is called a star, it is not actually Planet, but a spaceship.
However, this spaceship was extremely large, almost the size of Planet, but it lacked any external Weapon System, so even ordinary prisoners were unaware that they were on a spaceship that could fly at any time.
Since the only purpose of the Heavenly Prison Star spaceship is as Prison, although many people know about it, few know where it is located.
However, this definitely does not include Dark Night, for whom such intelligence is not difficult to obtain at all.
