Revisiting Fairy City

"This time, just watch my performance, don't make a move!" Wang Qian Duo said to the two sisters after entering the instance.

Then, the two sisters witnessed the Element Lord's might for the first time since its birth.

He piloted the Element Lord, slowly floating upwards. Strangely, the arcane wings built into the mech behind him were not working.

At the same time, two energy orbs circled in his hands. He gently waved at one of the two guardian wolves in the Nightmare instance, and an energy orb crackling with arcs of electricity flew towards it.

-876

An absurd amount of damage floated above the dire wolf's head, instantly depleting its health.

Wang Qian Duo didn't attack the other wolf, but quietly waited for it to summon its companions.

Although the monsters in the Nightmare instance had extremely high intelligence, they still couldn't violate the basic rules of the system.

In reality, the wolf that was let go might have directly notified its companions to escape, instead of bringing people here to be slaughtered like now.

Just as Wang Qian Duo saw them gathering in sufficient numbers, he raised his hands, and twenty-two photon energy spheres, as dazzling as the sun, appeared out of thin air above the wolf pack.

Then, the moment they looked up to see what was happening, countless photon rays erupted from the energy spheres, bombarding the ground where the wolf pack was.

-1750

-1761

Critical Hit -3975

-2001

Innumerable damage values floated above the wolf pack's heads. Before the photon rays' duration was even halfway over, all the dire wolves, including the dire wolf king, were already dead.

When the barrage of rays ended, Yu Xiao Yu and the others looked at the land again and found it reduced to scorched earth, a scene of devastation.

Apart from the drops from the dire wolves, everything else on the land had turned to ash.

Wang Qian Duo had once again refreshed their understanding of the game. Was a mech this powerful after reaching level ten?

Was it??

"Keep up!"

After picking up the drops, Wang Qian Duo saw that everyone was still stunned and said.

"Ah! Coming!"

The subsequent battles in the instance were simple. Few mobs could withstand one of Wang Qian Duo's elemental missiles.

Even if they did, another energy missile would finish them off.

The bosses were even simpler. Three bosses, three photon ray attacks, and they all fell before the others even touched them.

An entire Nightmare instance completed in less than 5 minutes, a speed unimaginable to others.

"I'll complete the quests as quickly as possible and then run the remaining 4 instances for you!" Wang Qian Duo said as he sent trade requests to the Yu sisters after they exited the instance.

Although he could now clear the instance by himself, he still intended to share the money with the sisters. He wasn't someone who would discard others once they were no longer useful.

But Yu Xiao Yu rejected Wang Qian Duo's trade request and said to him:

"Old Wang, we can't take the money anymore.

You can clear this instance by yourself now, you don't need our help anymore!

Also, you can actually make money by bringing people yourself."

"I'm not short of that little bit of gold, is there a conflict with your time?" Wang Qian Duo asked with a frown upon hearing the Yu sisters' words, a bad feeling dawning on him.

"Not at all! It's just that we feel we can't keep up with your progress at all.

It's only a matter of time before you take off, and we don't want to hold you back.

When you take off, you can come back and help us then!" Yu Xiao Yu said.

Although Wang Qian Duo didn't mind bringing them along again, they didn't want to freeload anymore.

It wasn't just freeloading; they were also taking the other person's money for free. They weren't that kind of people.

Wang Qian Duo: "I'll be stuck at level 10 for a long time, and what you're worried about won't happen."

But the sisters had made up their minds. After failing to persuade them, Wang Qian Duo disbanded the party.

"That's more like it! If you need any help, just call us, and we sisters will be there!

And when you take off in the future, don't forget to come back and help me!"

Amidst Yu Xiao Yu's farewell, Wang Qian Duo went to turn in the daily quests.

When it came time to enter the instance for the second round of daily quests, he felt a bit down looking at the chat channel.

Due to his rebirth, he didn't have many friends growing up in this life. The Yu sisters were already considered his good friends, even though they had only known each other for a little over ten days.

But like a thousand cups of wine shared between close friends, Wang Qian Duo believed that making friends was similar; some people just clicked, and a few words could make them very close friends.

He knew that he might not have much time to spend with them in the future.

"Why am I thinking about these messy things? When did I start getting sentimental?" Wang Qian Duo chuckled self-deprecatingly, then pulled up another Nightmare instance team.

After the Yu sisters left the party, Night Owl also left. The three of them formed a fixed team to challenge the nightmare dungeon.

With their strength, adding two more decent teammates would be enough to clear the nightmare dungeon.

Although he said this, he still felt uneasy.

So, he vented all this bad feeling onto the monsters in the dungeon.

Furious elemental energy washed over the land, annihilating every monster Wang Qianduo could see, leaving the four clients trembling in fear.

When it came time to pay, they were more than happy to oblige, as if they had misunderstood something.

"I can only take you four times today. I've already used one slot. If you want a ride again, you'll have to wait until tomorrow!"

"No problem! No problem! Big brother, you focus on your business!"

After saying that, they quickly left the party but still added Wang Qianduo as a friend.

After all, there were only a few people who could clear nightmare dungeons.

After completing the repeatable quests, Wang Qianduo looked at his only hidden quest again.

[Shadow of the Insectoid Race 2] (Unique Hidden): Travel to the secret base of the Black Shark Pirates on Fairy Star, the central planet of Starfield No. 9, and collect 15 types of special potions used by the Black Shark Pirates for experiments on the insectoids.

Quest Requirements: Collect 15 types of special potions

Progress: 0/15

Reward: Unknown

General Huang was very interested in the potions the Black Shark Pirates used against the insectoids, as they could indeed be very effective.

They could even sever the connection between ordinary insectoids and the hive mind. In his words, "Although the Black Shark Pirates are scum, perhaps one of these potions could be the key for humanity to deal with the insectoids."

Thus, this quest came about. The Black Shark Pirates' secret base was actually the game's second dungeon, [Black Shark Pirate Secret Base], a five-player dungeon for levels 10-17.

The dungeon's gatekeeper boss was the Black Shark Pirate Lieutenant Mark Bi, the younger brother of the world boss Mark Bei.

I have to say, the names of these two brothers were really sloppy. Perhaps their parents knew they would turn out bad and named them after "despicable."

The Black Shark Pirate Secret Base dungeon was located outside Fairy City. However, unlike the first dungeon, this one required completing a quest before it could be accessed.

So, Wang Qianduo arrived at Fairy Star, planning to complete the prerequisite quest first.

"Did you hear? Something important seems to have happened in Fairy City recently. Hundreds of NPCs, big and small, have been captured or killed."

"How could I not have heard? A few days ago, NPCs were summoning mechs to fight all over the city, and many people were caught in the crossfire!"

"It's been quiet for the past two days. I wonder if someone has completed this quest!"

Not long after Wang Qianduo entered the city, he overheard two people discussing matters.

"It seems Old Huang acted quickly! And he really has zero tolerance for these people!" Wang Qianduo thought.

Actually, among the Conservative, Radical, and Neutral factions, Old Huang and his master Old Luo were both Neutral. They basically didn't participate in power struggles.

The Neutral faction had never had a leader. They would assist whoever was in power and never cause trouble.

However, this faction had one characteristic: when it came to insectoids, they had absolutely zero tolerance, no matter who tried to persuade them.

Of the more than 200 officials, except for the more than 100 who were truly unaware, all the others were killed.

This showed that "zero tolerance" was not just talk.

Wang Qianduo didn't know much about these matters; he had pieced them together from fragmented information.

Fairy City, after the purge, even players could feel the palpable fear among the NPCs.

But precisely because of this, Fairy City was teeming with experts these days, with all sorts of skilled players flocking to it.

They were all here because of the changes in the city. While pursuing hidden quests was one reason, another was that Fairy City was currently profitable.

However, Wang Qianduo didn't care about these things; they were all things he had already experienced.

The most important thing for him right now was to unlock the dungeon and complete the hidden quest.
