A Major Mid-Stage Character Appeared Early?

Now that he had found his target, Bai Zhou naturally headed straight for the service hall counter.

He submitted the identification he had just registered and successfully accepted the mission.

But just as Bai Zhou accepted this mission, a system prompt sounded in his mind:

[Ding! Detected that the host has successfully blocked part of the Protagonist's luck. Gained 200 Destined Villain Value. Villain Roulette requires another 1750 to activate!]

This system prompt made Bai Zhou's gaze slightly narrow.

A doubt arose:

"This isn't right... I just accepted this mission and haven't even encountered Chu Yun's opportunity yet, and it's already giving me villain points?"

"What if I don't find it..."

"Erm... or is it that the system has already predicted that I will definitely find Chu Yun's opportunity, so it's giving me villain points in advance?"

Bai Zhou's speculation received no response from the system.

But it didn't matter. Bai Zhou wanted the points, and he also wanted the opportunity!

Just as Bai Zhou was about to set off with Lin Wei for the mission location.

A figure in a cloak blocked Bai Zhou's path.

Before Bai Zhou could even ask, he heard a somewhat excited female voice:

"Excuse me, did you two accept that level 1 exploration mission just now?"

Hearing this, Bai Zhou paused slightly, his eyes narrowing as he looked up at the hooded, cloaked woman in front of him.

In the void, his Mirror of Omniscience had already unfolded.

Information about this woman clearly appeared on it:

[Name: Seven Star Dragon Abyss]

[Level: Level 0]

[Quality: E-Class (True Quality Not Yet Activated)]

[Talent Skill: Not Yet Activated]

"What the hell are you?!"

Looking at the information displayed on the Mirror of Omniscience.

Bai Zhou couldn't control himself and let out a strange roar.

This startled the girl blocking Bai Zhou, causing her to take a step back:

"Why are you cursing?"

"Uh..." Bai Zhou quickly shut his mouth, then scratched the back of his head and said:

"Sorry, I wasn't talking to you..."

Bai Zhou was indeed talking to her.

Seven Star Dragon Abyss.

True quality not yet activated!

Good heavens, if I'm not mistaken, your name should be Long Ying, right?!

Just then, the girl in front of him shook her head and pouted, saying:

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Long Ying, and the mission you accepted was just posted by me."

It really was Long Ying!

Why did Bai Zhou remember so clearly? Because in the original novel.

This Long Ying, just like Lin Wei behind him now, was a very important female character!

Of course, she was also one of Protagonist Chu Yun's harem members.

One of the super-quality Divine Weapon Maidens in the Protagonist's hands.

But...

Why did he meet Long Ying so early?

Didn't Long Ying only appear around the middle stage of the original story?

Bai Zhou still remembered the plot.

It was when Chu Yun, whose strength had gradually grown, led his Divine Weapon Maidens to destroy the headquarters of a minor villain.

And then rescued quite a few girls from inside.

One of them was Long Ying, and Long Ying was attracted by an equipment that the original Chu Yun was wearing...

Oh!

Right!

That equipment on Chu Yun was one of the opportunities he was supposed to snatch today!

"That Long Ying just said this quest was posted by her!"

This means that at this point in time, Long Ying hasn't been captured by that so-called little villain yet!

And then I just happened to run into her!

Great!

No wonder the system chimed just now, it was because of this!

Understanding this, Bai Zhou's face showed a calm smile. He nodded at Long Ying and said:

"My name is Bai Zhou, and this is my Divine Weapon Maiden, Lin Wei."

"Are you looking for me... for something?"

Although capturing Long Ying would definitely severely damage the Protagonist Chu Yun's luck.

He still needed to be strategic. Bai Zhou was very curious why Long Ying would suddenly seek him out.

So he asked intentionally.

Long Ying, apparently, had never heard of Bai Zhou.

She immediately nodded and replied:

"Yes!"

Long Ying, her face mostly hidden by her hood, quickly said:

"I didn't expect anyone to accept this Level 1 quest so soon. I was just about to leave, but then..."

This seemed to explain to Bai Zhou why Chu Yun didn't encounter this scene when he later accepted the quest.

It seemed Long Ying was captured by that so-called little villain because she left early?

Long Ying's voice continued, "I hope you can take me along to the quest location."

Hearing Long Ying's words, Bai Zhou paused slightly:

"Then why don't you accept this quest yourself?"

"Because..." Long Ying gritted her teeth slightly, "I don't have a Spirit Master..."

"What, you want to form a contract with me?" Bai Zhou said, appraising Long Ying with a playful gaze.

The look scared the young girl Long Ying, causing her to instinctively tighten her cloak and step back, quickly saying:

"No, I don't!"

[Ding! Detected major character suffering mental damage +111, obtained Destined Villain Value +50. Villain Roulette requires 1700 more to activate!]

Listening to the system notification in his mind, the smile in Bai Zhou's eyes grew even more pronounced.

That's more like it. As such an important heroine, how could you not give me some villain points?

Then, Long Ying's voice became somewhat low as she continued, "You wouldn't want to contract with me either, because my aptitude is only E-Class."

As she said this, Long Ying's throat choked up slightly, as if recalling something sad.

Unexpectedly, Bai Zhou waved his hand and said, "So what? My Divine Weapon Maiden is also E-Class."

"What?!" Hearing this, Long Ying, clearly shocked, subconsciously raised her head.

Bai Zhou also saw most of Long Ying's face.

Though it was just a fleeting glimpse, Bai Zhou couldn't help but think to himself:

Truly worthy of being a heroine, she's really quite beautiful!

Of course, Bai Zhou wouldn't say this aloud. What if he scared the little girl away?

[Ding! Detected major character suffering mental damage +222, obtained Destined Villain Value +50. Villain Roulette requires 1650 more to activate!]

It seemed that hearing Bai Zhou say his Divine Weapon Maiden was only E-Class had lowered Long Ying's enthusiasm considerably.

"If that's the case... I advise you to give up this quest."

"Why?" Bai Zhou raised an eyebrow slightly. "You look down on my E-Class Divine Weapon Maiden? Don't forget, you're only E-Class too!"

[Ding! Detected major character suffering mental damage +555, obtained Destined Villain Value +50. Villain Roulette requires 1600 more to activate!]

"No, no, no!" Long Ying quickly waved her hands.

"I didn't mean that, please don't misunderstand."

As she spoke, she also gave Lin Wei an apologetic look.

Then she continued, "It's because... I feel this quest is very dangerous. If your strength isn't enough, please don't joke with your lives."

"Heh!" Bai Zhou chuckled lightly. Without responding to Long Ying, he turned and pulled Lin Wei, walking past her.

As he walked towards the exit of the border wall, Bai Zhou said calmly:

"If it were a Spirit Master with a bit more strength, would they agree to let a tagalong like you join them on a mission?"

[Ding! Detected that the Protagonist has suffered mental damage +333, gained Destined Villain Value +50, Villain Roulette requires 1550 more to activate!]

The moment Long Ying was stunned, Bai Zhou's voice echoed from afar again:

"If you want to follow, then follow. If you don't, don't disturb us on our mission."

After saying this, Bai Zhou had already entered the teleportation hall.

Long Ying, standing where she was, coldly watched Bai Zhou's disappearing back, her thoughts unknown.

Gritting her teeth slightly, she swung her long legs and chased after him!

The teleportation hall contained an ancient teleportation array.

Legend had it that it was created many years ago by several powerful Spirit Masters working together.

Every city-state had one.

The teleportation array could directly transport Spirit Masters and Divine Weapon Maidens to the vicinity of the mission location. After the mission was completed, they could also use the teleportation mark at the mission location to return to the mission hall!

Just as Bai Zhou was pulling Lin Wei onto the teleportation array, Long Ying's hurried figure rushed in from outside.

And a prompt sound echoed in Bai Zhou's mind:

[Ding! Detected that the Host has successfully blocked part of the Protagonist's fortune, gained Destined Villain Value +100, Villain Roulette requires 1450 more to activate!]
