Chapter 21 Encountering Snowflakes Falling

This is the difficulty of triggering this hidden task.

To trigger the task, you must talk to the NPC grandfather repeatedly. The conversation time is as long as 2 hours, and the content of the conversation is repeated 4 times before you can receive this hidden task.

How can ordinary players have such leisure time?

Players chat with the NPC grandfather for five minutes at most, and leave directly if the task is not triggered.

Even those who are a little patient will retreat after half an hour of conversation and find that the NPC grandfather's words are repeated.

So this hidden task has never been triggered in Su Yu's previous life. Until the human beings on Blue Star were about to be destroyed, a player who had lost hope accidentally discovered this hidden task.

But it was too late. At that time, the last few waves of the Skrulls had arrived.

Su Yu patiently talked with the grandfather for two hours.

At the end of the fourth conversation, the NPC grandfather's leisurely state suddenly changed.

He sat up from the bench and looked at the east with worry.

"Here it comes!" Su Yu was refreshed.

The old man stood up and looked at the alley entrance worriedly for a while, then looked at Su Yu:

"Alas! It's so late, why hasn't my daughter Tina come yet? Young man, can you go to the Chen Ge Grocery Store in the northeast of the village to look for her? She may have encountered some trouble there."

"Ding! Trigger the excellent hidden task [Tina's Struggle (1/20)], do you accept it?"

"Accept!"

"Task description: Uncle John entrusts you to go to the Chen Ge Grocery Store to find the trace of his daughter Tina."

"Task reward: 200 experience points, 2 psychic coins."

After accepting the task, Su Yu stood up and waved to the NPC old man: "Uncle John, I'm going, wait for my good news!"

"May the gods watch over you, young man." Uncle John and Su Yu waved goodbye.

Five minutes later, Su Yu arrived at the door of the Chen Ge Grocery Store.

The Chen Ge Grocery Store is located in a remote alley in the residential area east of the village, and there are very few players coming and going.

Su Yu was about to push the door and walk in when a female player came out of the grocery store.

"Excuse me. Eh? It's you? Nemesis!" The female player's eyes lit up when she saw Su Yu.

But as if she thought of something, the female player's eyes became resentful.

"Hello! Xuehualuo." Su Yu waved and greeted her.

This female player was Xuehualuo, and Su Yu had met her twice.

But noticing Xuehualuo's "resentful" eyes, Su Yu felt a little puzzled.

He was very familiar with this resentful look.

Su Yu had rejected many girls, and after being rejected, those girls would look at him with resentful eyes.

Xuehualuo also had this resentful look.

Su Yu muttered in his heart:

"I haven't had any interaction with her, right? Why does she look at me like this?"

So Su Yu asked somewhat unnaturally: "Then... where is your father?"

"My father is offline. He is old and not suitable for long-term games."

"Then why are you looking at me like this?"

"Nemesis, you stole my hidden task [Tears of Goddess Savi]." Xuehualuo said faintly.

[Tears of Goddess Savi] After Xuehualuo received the first ring, no one else could receive this task unless she failed the task.

Xuehualuo also saw that Su Yu was "cutting in line" in the tenth ring of the task.

But she didn't blame Nemesis. She had nothing to say about being robbed of the task because she was not as skilled as others, but she always felt a little uncomfortable.

"Oh! It turned out to be you!" Su Yu suddenly said.

It turned out that Xuehualuo completed the hidden task in the previous life.

Later, Xuehualuo failed to complete the subsequent task [Annie's Revenge] and was banned, and left "Evolution" from then on.

No wonder Su Yu had never heard of the name "Xuehualuo".

After all, Xuehualuo looks good, and she is one of the first batch of players, so she should be famous.

…

"What do you mean by 'it's me'?" Xuehualuo was confused, she didn't understand what Su Yu was talking about.

"Nothing." Su Yu changed the subject: "Since I stole your hidden task, how about I give you a piece of equipment as compensation?"

Su Yu took out the [Slippery Scale Breastplate] from his backpack and handed it to Xuehualuo, and showed her the attribute panel of the breastplate.

[Slippery Scale Breastplate lv5 (Excellent)]

Type: Leather

Defense +6

Agility +3

Although Su Yu avoided Xuehualuo's fate of being banned, objectively speaking, Su Yu also stole her a [Tear of the Goddess].

So Su Yu decided to give the [Slippery Scale Breastplate] to Xuehualuo as compensation, after all, this thing can't be sold for much money at the cargo station.

Xuehualuo was shocked when she saw the attributes of the [Slippery Scale Breastplate].

This is actually a level 5 green quality breastplate!

The [Black Iron Boots (Excellent) lv3] that Nemesis put on the warehouse has now been bid up to 50 psychic coins, so why doesn't [Slippery Scale Breastplate] want 100 psychic coins? The current black market transaction price of psychic coins is 1:20, which is nearly 2,000 flower-growing coins when converted into real currency!

"No! This is too expensive, I can't take it!" Xuehualuo waved her hand hurriedly and took two steps back.

"Take it."

"I said it's not okay, so how about this, Nemesis, let's add each other as friends, and if there are any good tasks in the future, just take care of me!" Xuehualuo said as she sent a friend request to Su Yu.

The second half of Xuehualuo's sentence was just a polite remark. She just wanted to find a way out. She didn't expect her nemesis to provide her with any tasks.

Su Yu also knew this.

"Well, I'll contact you if there is any suitable task in the future."

Su Yu accepted Xuehualuo's friend request.

"That's it, goodbye! Great master!" Xuehualuo waved and turned to leave.

"Wait a minute! I have something to ask you." Su Yu suddenly thought of something and stopped her.

"What is it?" Xuehualuo turned back.

"It's like this." Su Yu explained: "Just now when you were in the grocery store, did you see a shopkeeper named 'Tina'?"

"Tina." Xuehualuo tapped her chin with her index finger: "I came here from Baron Wilson to do the task line. If I remember correctly, Tina should be at the gate of Baron Wilson's manor. I saw her there."

"Baron Wilson. Thank you very much! This information is very useful to me!" Su Yu thanked.

"You're welcome." Xuehualuo smiled and turned and ran away.

After separating from Xuehualuo, Su Yu officially began to tackle the hidden mission [Tina's Struggle].

The first 5 rings of [Tina's Struggle] are mainly decryption tasks.

Tina is not in the grocery store, and players need to pass the decryption task to find out where she went.

Many decryption clues are extremely misleading.

For example, "Tina has taken a fancy to a small skirt and is going to try it on at the clothing store."

Another example is "Tina and Warrior Supervisor Quinn have an appointment to do a talent test at the Warrior Guild."

Or "Tina is tracking a puppy that has been separated from its family."

All kinds of wrong information always want to lead Su Yu into the ditch.

Fortunately, Su Yu learned accurate information from Xuehualuo, and it was easy to eliminate the wrong information and successfully complete the decryption task.

After completing the 5-ring decryption task, Su Yu came to the door of Baron Wilson's manor and met the protagonist of the task-Tina.
