Chapter 119: Life-Threatening Mission

In the world of the Endless Sea, there is a castle with laurel trees planted in a courtyard.

Huang Yanyan locked the bedroom door and placed a short gray-white pottery jar on the dressing table.

This short pottery jar is not big and can be enclosed with both hands. Its shape is quite similar to the incense burner in the player world.

But unlike the incense burner, the gray-white pottery jar is painted with fire-like patterns with black paint, and it is also covered with a lid made of the same pottery.

There was a breeze at noon in midsummer, and the hot wind blew into the room, disturbing the white gauze curtains with osmanthus patterns.

Huang Yanyan walked to the window and looked out cautiously.

Seeing that there was nothing unusual, she closed the window, drew the curtains, and returned to the dressing table to sit down.

It was noon now, and it was time for the agreed communication.

Huang Yanyan opened the lid of the pottery jar in front of her, and the fire seal gem in the pottery jar immediately emitted a scorching flame.

The Fire Seal Orb is a round plate made of gold, with many flames carved on it, which together guard a line of ancient text.

In the middle of the ancient text, there is a purple-gold shining bead.

This is a relic that can deliver letters. The price is that every time it is used, a piece of raw meat that is not aquatic must be offered first.

This is a relic artificially made by an old player through forging technology.

Huang Yanyan glanced at the brass clock next to her, and then put a piece of beef the size of a palm into the pottery pot.

The next moment.

Real flames burned on the Fire Seal Orb, and a smell of barbecue wafted through the room.

Then, from the jumping flames and flying sparks, a letter gradually solidified.

Suddenly, it was blown to a high place by the heat generated by the burning flames, and then fell on the table of the dressing table.

After receiving the letter, Huang Yanyan immediately covered the pottery pot with a lid, and the jumping flames immediately calmed down, and the heat disappeared.

Huang Yanyan picked up the letter. Her name in this world was written on the envelope, and the sender was Qi Heng.

Qi Heng was a player before Huang Yanyan, and also the team leader of the Player World Research Institute.

Players who officially joined the research institute would receive a relic made by old players from the institute - the Fire Seal Orb.

And use it to pass information to each other in the game world.

Unfolding the letter, the letter contained the latest information obtained by team leader Qi Heng.

"Hello Yanyan, the information is as of 12:00 noon on August 1st.

I followed my mentor to the royal city last night, and I heard that Faranil's notes have been found.

It is now being presented to the king by the Red Falcon of the Earth Ring.

Just as you have heard, I also heard that the notes contain the secrets of promotion to demigod.

But in addition, I have heard a piece of news that is extremely beneficial to us players.

That is, in that notebook, there is also a method to upgrade the secret treasure.

As you know, whether it is players or research institutes, we have been trapped in the inability to obtain slightly higher-level secret treasures.

This is also the key to restricting our promotion.

So I will try my best to find out the contents of the notes.

My mentor is also very eager for the notes, and I may be able to use this relationship.

However, this may take some time.

Please inform the players in your batch through the chat channel not to give up the secret treasures that have been fully integrated easily, Because they are very likely to continue to upgrade.

As for the method of upgrading the secret treasure, I will tell you as soon as I know the content of the note.

The Abyss Camp has no demand for secret treasures, so you can announce the upgrade method in the chat channel.

Finally, there is one more thing, please be sure to tell player No. 67.

Tell him not to try to do the promotion task rewarded by the system.

From the experience of the predecessors, the reward of directly upgrading one rank is indeed very tempting, but the task is too difficult. No predecessor has ever completed it, and it is impossible to complete it.

So, don't let No. 67 take risks, let him continue to choose a more secure way to upgrade. "

In the bright and sunny bedroom, Huang Yanyan read the letter and then burned it.

Looking at the green laurel trees outside the window, recalling the scene of the demon attacking Fengxi City that day, Huang Yanyan couldn't help but exclaimed:

'Faraniel's notes, was it found so quickly?

Who would find something that even the demons can't find?'

Suddenly, I thought of the person named Rhine that young girls talked about the most recently.

Could it be him?

‘It’s impossible. It is said that he is only a first-level hunter. How could he do this?’

Huang Yanyan shook her head and remembered the identity of the free man in front of the Sea King’s throne that the king personally conferred on Rhine.

Because of this identity, the girls in the city and their parents almost went crazy.

Nothing else, because with this identity, the man named Rhine had a place in the king’s hall of honor.

He is definitely the best candidate for a husband now.

Thinking of this, Huang Yanyan couldn’t help curling her lips.

She always felt that it was more reliable to say that he was an illegitimate child of the kingdom who was stranded among the people, rather than believing that Rhine had the ability to defeat the devil.

The thoughts were only a moment. After complaining in her heart, Huang Yanyan put Rhine’s matter behind her.

She opened the chat channel and looked through the chat records. There was still no speech from player No. 67.

Anxiety rose in her heart again.

Qi Heng was right. The promotion task rewarded by the system was too difficult. It was almost like sending players to their deaths.

In the past 50 years, among all the players with records, only two have completed the fourth cycle mission and obtained this reward promotion mission.

One is an old player from three years ago, and the other is the captain Qi Heng.

Once, the old player from three years ago tried to complete the mission. After all, the reward of directly being promoted to a higher rank was too tempting.

But when he investigated in the game world, he found that he could not complete the mission at all.

Later, he returned to the player world and informed the institute of the situation, hoping to get help from the institute.

As it was related to the safety of the player world, the institute certainly agreed and used all its resources to help him.

But in the end, the player with outstanding personal ability died in that mission.

Later, when Qi Heng received the promotion reward mission, the institute immediately analyzed the content of the mission.

But the final conclusion was that Qi Heng should give up the mission directly and only use the safest way to be promoted.

So far.

Even if the institute does not know the content of the promotion mission of player No. 67, it must first tell him not to do that dangerous mission to avoid death.

So last night, when the leader of the institute asked Huang Yanyan to tell player No. 67 about this through the chat channel.

Huang Yanyan told this in the chat channel as soon as possible.

But.

From last night until noon today, more than ten hours have passed, and player No. 67 has not responded.

Did he not check the chat channel? Or has he encountered some danger?

Huang Yanyan was a little worried about player No. 67, after all, he was the player most likely to complete the next progress task.

Thinking of the progress task, Huang Yanyan remembered that her second-level golden elephant secret treasure had not been fully integrated.

Then, she took out some wooden amulets from the drawer of the dressing table.

After arranging the amulets one by one, Huang Yanyan began to bless the amulets while guarding in front of the chat channel, waiting for player No. 67 to appear.

The faint golden light flowed between the wooden amulets. Huang Yanyan, who was casting the blessing spell, suddenly lost her mind and thought of Li Feng.

‘Alas—he has been writing for ten years and has written about countless time travelers, but he could never have imagined that real time travelers would be so unlucky.

I really don’t know how Li Feng would deal with all this if he became a player. Would he be like the protagonist in his novel? ’

Suddenly, Huang Yanyan was shocked by her own thoughts.

‘It’s better for him to stay away from all this. It’s too dangerous to become a player. Li Feng must not become a player. ’

It’s because of my parents that I want to figure this out and end this.

And Li Feng should live a normal life in peace and stability.

The summer breeze blew, and the leaves of the laurel tree outside the window swayed, bringing up a piece of fragrance.

The blessing spell in her hand slowed down unconsciously, and Huang Yanyan’s thoughts drifted back to the past, when she and Li Feng were acting as a babysitter in the game and killing people everywhere.

That period of time was the happiest time for her after her parents passed away and she became an orphan.

Later, whenever there was a new game, Huang Yanyan would share and discuss it with Li Feng.

Huang Yanyan couldn't help but smile when she thought of this. People who share the same hobbies are always happy.

Over the years, games have always been an eternal topic between them.

And now, she has discovered a new game. The world view of this game is grand, well-made, and the content is real.

It is the kind that Li Feng likes.

But she can never share this game with him again.

Moreover, because of the special player identity and various contents that need to be kept secret, she and Li Feng will only drift apart in the future.

Thinking of this, Huang Yanyan sighed deeply.

Then she thought about it again, as long as Li Feng can live a stable and happy life, isn't it the best ending?

Back then, she was still young and had no ability to protect her parents, which caused many regrets.

But now, she knows the secrets of the two worlds and has become a first-level ninth-level extraordinary person.

Using her ability to protect her playmates from childhood to adulthood is a blessing no matter how you look at it.

With this in mind, Huang Yanyan stopped being distracted and cheered up to continue casting blessing spells.

At noon in summer, the scorching sun shines outside the swaying tram.

Li Feng was in a state of depression for a long time because he found out that a player was caught.

Looking at the dazzling sunlight outside the carriage window, he thought he should inform other players about this.

Probably because the official knew about the players, and the official players were also in the chat channel.

With the official support, the chat channel is no longer dead because of the existence of the Abyss Camp.

From midnight to now, Li Feng has not opened the chat channel.

Looking at the huge number of unread messages that are still growing rapidly, Li Feng realized that other players should be discussing something.

Could it be discussing the existence of the players, which has been exposed?

Thinking so in his heart, Li Feng opened the chat channel.

But at this time, he was surprised to find that the topic other players were talking about was himself.

: "I'm so anxious, has boss No. 67 seen the news?"

: "Wait! Has he really gone to do the promotion mission?"

: "No way, didn't the official say that the mission was difficult and could kill people?"

: "The official knows, but No. 67 doesn't know. What if he tries to do the mission?"

: "I think this system has bad intentions. It rewards players who complete the mission with a mission that will kill them. Isn't this trying to harm us?"

: "Upstairs, is the system installed with good intentions?"

: "Hey, what can I do? I have no choice but to lie down. Now I can only point to the official and Boss No. 67 to complete the player's mission. I am really afraid of disaster."

: "Who says it's not, but now No. 67 seems to have disappeared. Boss, you should check the chat channel."

: "Oh, I really want to go there on the 67th, but it's a pity that the chat channel doesn't have this function."

After roughly reading the news, Li Feng discovered.

It turns out that since last night, official player No. 97 has been looking for him in the chat channel every hour.

Tell yourself not to do the promotion task that the system rewards.

Because the official lesson learned from the past is that promotion tasks are too difficult and people will die.

But I have never watched the chat channel, so I don’t know this information yet.

This also caused other players to worry about him.

His thoughts turned back to the death mission mentioned by other players.

'Gargoyles, the mother of gargoyles, is indeed difficult to hear. ’

But I didn’t have any plans, so I just went to do that task right now.

Now that he has seen the message, Li Feng replied in the chat channel.

0067: "I understand, thank you."

: "Yeah! It's No. 67."

: "Boss, you finally saw it, great!"

Huang Yanyan, who had been staying by the chat channel, also saw Li Feng's message at this moment.

She immediately felt relieved and spoke under her real name.

0097: "Just see it, please contact the official if necessary.

By the way, there’s another thing.”

Next, while No. 67 is here.

Huang Yanyan told other players what captain Qi Heng told her about the secret treasures that could be upgraded.

And asked them not to give up the secret treasures that have been fully integrated easily, and the official is actively looking for ways to upgrade the secret treasures, which will be announced in the group at that time.

As soon as the news came out, the players immediately became energetic.

: "I'll go. If it weren't for the fact that my secret is precious and I can't bear to part with it, otherwise I would have cooked it and eaten it."

: "Upstairs, what is your secret treasure?"

: "Don't panic, you bastard, I'm not a pervert."

Players are very happy to know that the secret treasure can be upgraded and the official method will be announced.

But at the same time, some players pointed out.

: "No! Let me tell you something serious. The low-level secret treasures we use now are all made through alchemy, forging, tailoring, etc.

If I want to upgrade them, I think I might also need to use these majors.

But can these majors be something we can master?

And it seems that the official doesn't know how to upgrade the secret treasure yet, and they still have to investigate.

To put it bluntly, by the time the official method is announced, several game cycles have passed.

Where do we have time to learn those techniques, then upgrade the secret treasures and then fuse them?

I don’t want to criticize anyone, I just don’t want everyone to be too relaxed and optimistic.

Because a few months ago, I really witnessed the disaster. I didn't know it at the time, but now that I think about it, that disaster was definitely caused by the integration of the two worlds. "

: "What you said upstairs makes sense. I have seen blacksmiths making secret treasures. Those techniques are definitely not something we can learn quickly."

: "Oh my god, I just thought there was hope in life, but you poured it out again with a basin of water."

Because of that player's truth, more players began to become pessimistic again.

Huang Yanyan, who had just announced the upgrade of secret treasures and had been looking at the chat channel, couldn't help but frown deeply at this time.

She knew that the player was right, but...

There is no better news for players.

the other side.

Li Feng, who wanted to say that someone was arresting players, happened to see official players saying that the secret treasures could be upgraded, but players were even more anxious.

Thinking of the notebook that had almost arrived in the royal city, Li Feng spoke anonymously.

: "Low-level secret treasures can be upgraded with inscriptions. The king will announce the upgrade method within the third level soon."

: "???"

: "????"

Li Feng's news stirred up waves among many desperate players.

They could hardly believe what they saw, and they furiously asked questions.

Huang Yanyan, the official player who was watching the chat channel, was completely shocked at this moment.

Look at the words 'Inscription upgrade available, the king will announce it soon' in the chat box.

Huang Yanyan immediately realized that the player who just spoke must also know Faranir's notes.

And it seems that he actually knows the contents of the notes!

how come?

Captain Qi Heng only knew a few things about the notebook because he had traveled to a very advantageous position and was in the royal city.

But this player

Who is he?
