"Dude, that's amazing!"
"One player shouted excitedly."
"That's right!"
[ The Shit Appraisal Master ] beat the drum and shouted:
"In the World of Disorder, you can choose not to live, but you absolutely cannot be without life!"
Amidst the booming drumbeats, several boats continued to advance along the waterway. At the stern of one of the boats, [ Evergreen Tree ] did not join in this highly contagious player chorus; instead, he kept shaking the test tube in his hand.
[ Dawn Ah ], who was on the side, kept rowing with his hands and looked over to ask:
"Teacher, is it not over yet?"
[ The Evergreen Tree ] nodded and said:
"The dissolving speed is too slow. This is the last chance to achieve the best results."
Ed was alone on the last raft of the fleet, where the only other person was the alchemical golem under the drum.
It wasn't that Ed was deliberately putting on airs; it was just that the alchemical golem's weight and size were such that the small raft simply couldn't accommodate the other players and supplies.
Noticing that his alchemical golem's slacking-off frequency had been unknowingly assimilated by [ Shit Appraisal Master ], Ed's lips twitched. He felt that there was indeed a reason why this thing could be passed down from ancient times to the present.
It entrusted the rowing to Little Green, while its own consciousness infiltrated the local area network it had built with Little Green between itself, the other players, and the NPCs.
He's going to issue missions.
Seraphina, who served as a military advisor on animal fighting, once offered a seemingly very feasible suggestion when the plan to attack White Wax Town first emerged.
This suggestion was later discussed repeatedly by Ed, Duolin, and others, and the form of its implementation was finally determined.
Ed originally intended to entrust this task to the adventurous [ Dark Archmage ].
But who could have imagined that this person's initiative was so strong that they forcibly created a side quest to save the experimental subjects, thus adding a special mission to themselves.
She even took advantage of the lookout post to complete and upload the initial mapping task, and marked three suspicious plant types, including Boston Ivy.
Based on the principle that not just one person should benefit, Ed issued the quest to several people in White Wax Town, except for [ Dark Archmage ] and the construction team leader [ Zhongde ].
Twenty kilometers away, in the center of White Wax Town.
The players who were chiseling through the rock face suddenly froze, then began exchanging glances.
Zhongde, who was busy moving between the ground and underground to check if there were any problems with the excavation direction, paused for a moment and asked:
"Has something happened?"
At this moment, a total of ten players have been in the couple's house for over thirty hours.
Even with the daily time limit for playing, their energy still amazed the couple.
Amidst the clanging of pickaxes and chisels, the rock wall was being gradually broken open.
Based on the small hole that allowed the vines to meander forward with eyes, they were only about twenty centimeters away from breaking through the rock wall and entering the dungeon.
The couple's house has now been demolished, leaving only a frame, and all the rooms are filled with rubble and dirt.
Just minutes ago, the players in the room had finished watching the live broadcast from the castle on the official forum, and like the other teams, they had also received the third phase of the mission.
After a brief moment of cheering in the tunnel, everyone began to work even harder.
But just now, the clanging and banging suddenly stopped.
Faced with [ Zhongde's ] question, a newbie turned around and said:
"Boss, we've received a special mission notification."
"Oh?"
[ Zhongde ] raised an eyebrow. No wonder everyone stopped working; it turns out they had a special mission.
He was well aware that many players were ruthless task machines, so he shrugged very relaxedly and naturally:
"Go ahead and do it. The tunnel will be completed soon, and you won't be shortchanged on your tasks here. Don't worry."
Upon hearing that it wouldn't affect the progress of the side quests, the newbies began to discuss among themselves.
Staying here will certainly allow you to witness the conclusion of this side quest, and the special mission that was triggered for some unknown reason is indeed a bit strange.
[ Zhongde ] also suddenly thought of this question and casually asked:
So what are the tasks involved?
The newbie scratched his hair, which was covered in loose dust:
"They said it was only for one person, which lured the patrol teams from White Wax Town to a special location in the northern forest."
"Oh, is there anything special about that location?"
[ Zhongde ] quickly pressed for more information.
The newbie said with a smile:
"That's the problem; it wasn't mentioned at all in the mission description."
"All right."
[ Zhongde ] shrugs:
You can decide for yourselves.
The newbies started discussing again. The requirements for the task were actually very simple, and it seemed like anyone could take it on.
However, being able to accept a quest doesn't mean you can complete it. Looking at the quest requirements, the players eventually started comparing their character stats.
Since the goal is to lure specific enemies to specific locations, [Agility] and [Constitution] must be the first and second most important stats.
Thus, after comparing the two values, player [ Easily Soluble in Water ] (4763) successfully qualified for the mission.
To avoid revealing their presence, [ Easily Soluble in Water ] quietly left the couple's house, making its way to the northern outskirts of White Wax Town, and then began...
To do performance art.
People in this World of Disorder certainly don't understand street dance, a modern dance form from another world. All they see is a pitiful young man, terminally ill, lying on the ground, shivering in pain.
The kind-hearted townspeople Tree Worship Church shook their heads as they watched, wondering why there wasn't a small wooden basin in front of the man, so they could give him something.
The commotion caused by its [ Easily Soluble in Water ] quickly attracted a patrol team.
The captain, who was leading the group, saw from a great distance a group of townspeople watching a madman convulsing on the ground. They wanted to get closer but didn't have the courage, so they could only stand aside and watch intently.
The guy who was having a fit looked well-proportioned, and his clothes were similar in style to the woman from out of town. Plus, we couldn't see his face or figure clearly from a distance...
Could it be that I've been caught?
Thinking of this, the leading priest captain shouted sternly:
"What's that person over there doing?"
Such a roar was always intimidating, but the priest seemed to remember that he was not facing ordinary townspeople who were as docile as sheep.
Upon hearing the shout, the guy lying on the ground jumped up.
He glanced back at them, shouted something incomprehensible, and then began to run wildly towards the edge of town.
[ Easily Soluble in Water ] means:
" The White Wax Town No-Limited Fighting Tournament officially begins!"
But he didn't turn on the translator.
Although he couldn't understand what the person was shouting, the fact that the person ran away only confirmed the priest patrol leader's guess.
This is the wanted criminal that the bishop wanted!
As for why the other person fell ill?
How do I know?
Why did the other person run away?
Nonsense, you'd run away even if you were fighting five people at once.
Almost without hesitation, he gave the order:
"Chase him! That's the wanted criminal His Holiness the Bishop wants!"
Upon hearing this, the priests behind him immediately began to run wildly. Their hands Alienation into vine whips, lashing at the townspeople who were watching the commotion and blocking the road, forcibly creating a path.
