Hidden Quest (7, Extra Chapter for Solimans)

The arrival of spring has once again brought busy farming activities to the Dawn City.

For Player, this is nothing.

But for William, this was of paramount importance; everything else had to give way to the Commoners who were farming, so that they could plant their land before the spring rains arrived.

So, Commoners who owned land flocked to Rainbow Lake to rent oxen from the Minotaur to cultivate the land...

That's right.

The Minotaur Tribe of Fiu Lesse plays a vital role, not only in guarding the Orc mining in the mines but also in raising their oxen...

The Minotaur's feelings towards the bull, who is half of its own kind, are very complex.

But no matter what, they all look pretty much the same.

I have horns on my head and a tail behind me.

Well, it's just that one walks on four hooves and the other on two hooves, so the Minotaur takes pretty good care of the oxen.

In addition, William's strict prohibition against anyone abusing or slaughtering cattle brought some comfort to the Minotaur.

The Dawn City does not have a large amount of arable land.

Farming and land reclamation can only be carried out on flat areas at the edge of the cliff.

However, with the recent emergence of another Radiant Fortress Radiant Fortress, many Commoners have begun farming near it.

"The Dawn City is located in a subtropical region, with two harvests a year. I hope for favorable weather this year..." a Player silently prayed, pretending to be part of the conversation.

"Brother, this is a fantasy world, there are Water Element Mage..."

"..." The brother who was praying suddenly drew his sword, and a battle in the wild officially began.

The game has been going on for more than ten days, and it's common for casual PvP battles, small-scale guild wars, and all sorts of killing and looting to happen all the time.

This is, after all, a game. Before the Main Quest begins, Player naturally want to find some fun for themselves.

Even the relatively safe Dawn City couldn't avoid it. At most, they wouldn't roll up their sleeves and start fighting inside the city, but outside the city gates, there were fights everywhere—people arranging brawls, planting flags, loitering, and taking damage—and then turning the tables on each other...

William stood on the city wall, looking at these Player who didn't like doing quests and were always itching to play, when suddenly he remembered something.

So he brought in Odom.

A few minutes later.

Odom, with his short legs, came running over quickly, and when he reached William, he didn't forget to toss his long, wavy blond hair before asking, "What does my lord want with me?"

"These Chosen Ones have too much free time and energy. How about we build them an Gladiator Arena?"

Upon hearing this, Odom's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands, saying, "That's great! Since these Chosen Ones arrived, there have been many deaths and injuries."

Although it's all internal strife among them, it still causes a lot of public order problems. If we really build an Gladiator Arena, we can just let them fight there and that'll be the end of it."

"Hehe, it's not just about letting them fight. You know, most of the Commoners in the city are quite wealthy, and they also enjoy watching a good show. We can build a large Gladiator Arena and charge admission fees to attract those people to watch the matches."

Odom pondered for a moment, then nodded excitedly. "That's right, why don't we give them another title, like ' War God ' or something..."

Adding some rewards would further incentivize the Chosen Ones to fight, and the ticket revenue alone could be substantial...

In this respect, we should emulate the Nobles of Human Countries, who, regardless of age or gender, enjoy these exhilarating things.

But the Gladiator Arena of Human Countries are too bloody and too cruel.

But things are different now. They are the Chosen Ones, they can die anytime...

William glanced at Odom with satisfaction; he had already learned how to shear sheep, which was truly impressive.

So he patted the wavy-haired man on the shoulder. "I'll leave this to you. Build the Gladiator Arena in the New District. Remember, it has to be big."

Meanwhile, have someone capture some Magical Beast, and then select some strong Orc from the mines, giving them sufficiently good weapons...

"Got it." Odom chuckled, turned, and jogged away.

"I've found another way to make money, but I need to study the rankings carefully; they might come in very handy."

William scratched his head and pondered for a moment. The game Gods has Level Rankings, but there is no Ladder Rankings yet.

Because the current Player level is too low, and the player base is scattered among the three factions, the Steel Duchy and Blackrock Duchy are too poor and have been at war for years to build Gladiator Arena, so the Ladder Rankings were not officially opened until the second version.

It was only after the Steel Duchy unified the country that it appeared in the form of Gladiator Arena.

At that time, the Player were all gathered together and within the sphere of influence of the Steel Duchy. The Steel Duchy, recognizing the warlike nature of these Chosen Ones, also built a large Gladiator Arena for them...

It could even be said that, under the guidance of the Gods Mainframe, all the rankings except for the Level Rankings were provided by NPCs.

"But I can let him out earlier. The Ladder Rankings a list that proves a Player's true strength. Each month is a season."

Every season, a new "War God" will be selected, and they'll be rewarded with a Gold Weapon or something. This is definitely a great way to attract players, and it's the most crucial tactic to draw in Professional Players.

William understands perfectly what Professional Players care about most.

It's all about fame!

What's the point of Level Rankings these days?

It's simply a test of who can grind more; in just over ten days, some people have already reached level 18.

However, this method of grinding has a flaw: the experience gained is almost never used to upgrade Secret Manual or Skill levels, but only to level up the character.

How could Professional Players who's only at level 12 or 13 possibly do that...?

"The time has come to prove your true strength..."

As William was about to descend the city wall, a figure suddenly lunged at him.

"Greetings, City Lord, Lord, Commander. Changli Jiugu has something to discuss with you."

William saw Changli Jiugu shamelessly kneeling on one knee, even more obsequious than his own NPC subordinates.

He couldn't help but want to laugh, but he still coughed lightly and said in a slightly indifferent tone, "Oh, Changli Jiugu, what brings you here?"

Seeing William's indifferent expression and glancing at the mere 3 points of favorability, Changli Jiugu immediately closed her eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, tears streamed down his face. His eyes were red as he choked out, "Sir, my family has always been very poor since I was little..."

"..." William.

"Since becoming Chosen Ones, I have been overjoyed to have the opportunity to become a Mercenary under the Commander's command. I am ecstatic."

"But I Talent dull-witted. No matter how much I want to improve, I can't become stronger quickly enough to help the adults fight the enemy. This makes me hate myself. I hate my own incompetence. I hate myself for being such a fool and an idiot!" Changli Jiugu cried and pounded her chest.

They've all lost health; their Health Bar are showing...

"As long as you give me a chance to become stronger, I, Changli Jiugu, am willing to work like a slave and endure any hardship without complaint." Changli Jiugu looked at William with unwavering sincerity.

It has to be said that the era of virtual games is progressing too fast. NPCs are becoming more and more intelligent, and many tasks no longer need to be triggered by NPCs; you can actively ask for them.

Having experienced this firsthand in his past life, Changli Jiugu wanted to try again...

William frowned, seemingly deep in thought. After a full two minutes of contemplation, he slowly said, "Giving you a chance isn't out of the question. How about this: go and help me complete a task."

[You have received a hidden solo quest]

[Demon Cavern Expedition: In a valley 50 miles southwest of Dawn City lies an abandoned Demon Cavern. The Lord of Dawn City needs you to explore it and see if any new Dark Creatures have appeared.]

[Task Difficulty: Unknown]

[Task Reward: Unknown]

Changli Jiugu immediately agreed with great joy...

William watched him leave, then breathed a sigh of relief. It had taken him two minutes to come up with a task; it wasn't easy...
