Chapter 390: Chain Quest
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
When Frost Blade arrived next to leader Carl in his [Stealth] mode, Carl was rubbing his huge stomach complaining about how he wanted to drink some wine. This fella’s name was in yellow which meant that he was a quest NPC who would only react when triggered. Therefore, he had no reaction even though Frost Blade suddenly appeared in front of him.
“Boss, the wine is here…” Frost Blade walked over to Carl in a cautious manner. Concurrently, he even took out ten bottles of wine.
Carl was a drunkard so the moment he saw the wine on Frost Blade’s hands, his eyes almost popped out. With saliva dripping out of his mouth, he said, “Not bad, you did well… You should be rewarded.”
Frost Blade smiled as he replied, “This is what I should be doing. Besides these, I’ve found even more wine in a village beneath the mountain. Boss, please sent a few people to bring those wine in. We can give it out to everyone here to drink.”
“Good idea, good idea… All of our brothers haven’t had drinks in such a long time. I cannot be the only one enjoying myself. Men, follow this man and bring all the wine in…” Karl shouted before asking again, “What is your name again?”
“Imperial Dragon Behead…” Frost Blade replied with an innocent smile.
“What a peculiar name. Hurry up and bring those wine in then…” Karl scratched his head while waving his hand to get Frost Blade to leave.
Everyone else from the Quan Zhen Sect were hiding nearby. When they saw Frost Blade bringing a group of men to bring in the 20 buckets of wine into the camp, they started laughing in their team channel, “Frost Blade really knows how to act miserable…”
“He has gotten used to this since a long time ago.” Ming Du added in. Frost Blade was a boss himself in real life. Acting miserable to get business was what he was used to doing. His experience in real life made it easier for him to do the same in the game.
After the buckets of wine were brought into the camp, an excited Karl got his men to come and enjoy the wine… After looking at the wine, Karl suspiciously questioned Frost Blade, “Why is this wine blue in colour?”
Cold sweat started dripping down Frost Blade’s back as he replied anxiously, “This is blueberry wine…”
“Oh… Let me taste it.” Karl was just about to use his long tongue to taste the wine.
Frost Blade hurriedly stopped him, “Boss, the wine I’m offering you with respect is a good quality one. The wine in the buckets are cheap fruit wine. How can such a wine be fitting for you?”
Karl must not be harmed in any way. Otherwise, all the refugees here would start killing… If that happens, death will be the only outcome.
“Oh really?” Karl looked at Frost Blade in admiration before saying, “Good, you’re really capable…”
“This is because boss is a great leader.” Frost Blade replied.
Karl loved wine but his capacity for liquor was extremely poor. After one bottle, he fell asleep on the ground.
The remaining 20 buckets of wine weighed about a few hundred kilograms. All the refugees gathered together to enjoy bowl after bowl of wine. Very soon, everyone finished all the buckets.
The effects of the medium grade poison kicked in very soon. One after the other, all the refugees took turn to fall to the ground, paralysed. Their body started to go into an unconscious state.
“Hurry up! This state will only last for 30 seconds!” As the last refugee fell to the ground, Spring Halo shouted loudly and ten people darted into the refugee camp.
In less than 10 seconds, ten of them managed to pack 800 sets of crops into their bags.
When the refugees woke up, their wall made from bags of crops had already disappeared… The Quan Zhen Sect had already disappeared out of sight. These refugees had no IQ therefore, they didn’t know what to do when they couldn’t find the players who stole their crops.
“F*ck! We’re done just like that…” Everyone was still in disbelief. They actually completed a quest, that was deemed as extremely dangerous, so easily.
Fearless replied, “En, it is that simple! This quest didn’t even have a grade.”
A quest without a grade meant that the level of freedom would be extremely high. Once the correct method was found, the quest could be completed without breaking a sweat. If the wrong method was used, it would be extremely dangerous.
Fortunately, the Quan Zhen Sect found the correct method.
Everyone answered unanimously, “Oh…”
After returning to the Sunset Village, Wang Yu found that old man, “We’ve brought back the crops.”
In that same tone, the old man replied, “Brave Warrior, thank you so much! My son is a military official at the front lines. These crops were meant to be donated to the military from our village. Who would have thought that those thugs would snatch them away from us? Are you able to help me sent these to my son?”
After the old man said this, there were changes to Wang Yu and co’s quest.
The quest changed from collecting 1000 sets of crops turned to sending the crops to the military front line sentry.
There were no carts or any form of transportation for them to transport the crops. Evidently, this was not an escort quest. However, the Quan Zhen Sect’s transportation ability was sealed. It seemed like they needed to travel on foot to the front line.
Twilight City belonged to the neutral district. The neutral district connects the districts of the two big factions. Therefore, it wasn’t very far away from the faction’s battlefield.
From the map, they only needed to cross Dusk Corridor, walked to the end of Dusk Mountain Range and one more stretch of road.
The only problem was that the further you walked into the Dusk Mountain Range, the higher the levels of the monsters. In every home city, the highest wild map monster could go up to level 100. There were still BOSSES that would come and go. For current players, these monsters were definitely too challenging.
Since they accepted the quest, there was no point in cancelling it. Every member of the Quan Zhen Sect was an opportunist. Their belief was that as long as there was a slight chance of succeeding, they would go for it bravely.
After tidying up the Sunset Village, the ten of them headed towards the Dusk Mountain Range and towards their quest’s location.
For the first half of the route, Wang Yu was slightly more familiar with it. On a daily basis, Wang Yu trained with level 40 to 50 monsters. Because of his familiarity with this place, Wang Yu was able to lead them out of the region easily.
While the monsters at the second half were of high levels, they were all normal monsters and were sparsely scattered. They would avoid the monsters if possible and if not possible, ten of them would go full force at the monster. From the start till end, it could be considered that they didn’t face any danger.
What they were most thankful for was that they didn’t meet any BOSS on their way.
In <>, any BOSS that was higher than level 50 was exceedingly dangerous. Every carried 100 sets of crops which was a significant percentage of the total. If they were to meet a BOSS on the way, it was impossible that there would be no deaths.
As they arrived at the end, they saw a stone bridge. After they crossed the stone bridge, they walked for another 20 minutes and finally reached the front line.
Wang Yu brought the Quan Zhen Sect in front of the official as he said, “You must be George right? Your old man wants me to hand you these crops. Please double check the quantity.”
The military official heard Wang Yu and he looked pleasantly surprised, “You’ve brought us the crops from so far away. We’re really thankful!”
After handing over the crops, every member of the Quan Zhen Sect received 10,000,000 experience points. Wang Yu’s experience points bar was half filled to begin with and with this surge, he was only a bit away from level 29.
As for the experience reward, no one from the Quan Zhen Sect was satisfied about it. For this hidden quest, they needed to poison, run and waste time and money. All they got at the end of this was only these few experience points.
“Are these all we get?” An unsatisfied Ming Du asked the military official.
Experience points were easily obtainable. Nobody bothered much about it and it was definitely worth less than a skill book or a set of equipment.
“Ai.” The military official sighed, “Initially, these are not the only rewards. However, an Alchemist from the Dark Faction ambushed the front line yesterday. He robbed the front line of two unique tier equipment. If you are able to kill him, I can gift one of the equipment to you.”
