Chapter 086 "Krypton" Mission
Chapter 086 "Krypton" Mission
At the city gate, the Golden Horned Slime and the Silver Horned Slime stood guard on either side. Li Hanqiang pointed at them and said, "These are the city's top generals sent down from above. See them? They're practically bosses. I'm not exaggerating, Chaos City, one of the three major empire factions, would never receive this kind of treatment!"
The two people who were fanning the wind and lighting the fire stared wide-eyed. Those were Golden Horn Slimes and Silver Horn Slimes! Their health points were four hundred times their level, making them almost like bosses!
"Our faction is so awesome, they sent down such powerful elite monsters to guard the gate!"
As they fanned the flames and lit the fire, their hearts burned with excitement, and they felt that the future was bright and promising.
Standing before the city gate, Li Hanqiang shouted, "Open the gate!"
The three-zhang-high city gate opened in response.
The terrifying, chubby ogre was currently waving a spiked club in front of the Heart of Chaos. Li Hanqiang pointed at him and introduced, "This ogre is a junior officer guarding the city. Don't let his low level and small size fool you; he's a growth type who can continuously evolve. He currently commands the 100,000-strong slime army of Chaos City. Don't mess with him!"
"What?! An army of 100,000 slimes!" The Fan Knight was stunned. "Is it also faction-specific?"
Li Hanqiang nodded.
At this moment, the Fire-Ignition Sword Saint stepped forward and greeted the chubby man: "Fire-Ignition Sword Saint, a prospective member of the Dragon-Slaying Empire, greets the young general. May I ask if the young general has any tasks for me?"
He actually asked the chubby guy for a mission, which only shows his quick thinking. After all, many missions in the major cities of the region are triggered in this way.
The chubby man coldly sized up the Fire-Igniting Sword Saint, then barked, "Idiot, if you want to do quests, go check the quest list!"
"What? There's a quest board!" The Fire Sword Saint was overjoyed and quickly called to the Fan Knight, "Quick, quick, let's go find the quest board and accept some faction quests!"
"Absolutely!" The Ignition Sword Saint quickly stepped forward and respectfully bowed to the chubby man.
Then, before the two could go to find the mission board, Xiang Mang appeared riding the three-headed tiger of the Flame Demon.
The Fan Knight and the Ignition Sword Saint immediately lay down on the ground. This was a conditioned reflex they had developed recently while farming the Burning Ruins; upon seeing the three-headed tiger of the Fire Demon, they would immediately prostrate themselves in respect.
Xiang Mang completely ignored them and went straight to Li Hanqiang, saying, "Lord City Lord, apart from a few guard slimes, the rest of the slimes have been temporarily placed in Demon Mountain. Slimes move slowly and are difficult to deploy, so establishing a barracks is urgent."
Li Hanqiang nodded, indicating that he understood.
Fan Knight and Ignition Sword Saint were both stunned. Their eyes widened, and it took them a while to slowly get up from the ground.
"That's the Three-Headed Tiger of the Flame Demon! Riding a Three-Headed Tiger of the Flame Demon, is this the ultimate boss?"
"My god, he's a provincial governor! The Dragon Slayer faction is amazing! I definitely chose the right faction!"
After exchanging a few words, the two men looked at each other, then ignored Li Hanqiang and immediately went to find the mission board.
Xiang Mang watched their retreating figures and said, "Lord City Lord, are these two going to be residents? Chaos City certainly needs residents."
Li Hanqiang remained noncommittal, saying, "Perhaps, they should be reliable..."
He held the siege token in his hand, as if he could already see the little angel Eileen, but he wasn't in a hurry to use it at the moment...
The two, who were fanning the flames and lighting the fire, quickly found a task, and there were two of them.
There are task boards in front of both the Little Monk Huixin and Xiang Mang's city defense centers, and of course, the tasks are the same for both.
The Fan Knight and the Ignition Sword Saint looked at the faction quests on the quest list with great anticipation, but their expressions gradually turned strange.
"What kind of stupid quests are these?" Fan Knight muttered to himself, having accepted five quests.
First task: Spend real money to buy a general item at the Demon Mountain Market. There is no reward, but you will receive 0.1 Chaos City contribution points.
Second task: Ten consecutive in-game purchases. Complete the in-game purchase task ten times. No reward!
The third task: Complete 100 consecutive in-game purchases. No reward!
The fourth task: 1001 Spending. Complete the spending task 1001 times to receive a blue equipment item: Shrimp Helmet, Clam Shield, Coral Boots, Shark Gun, or Seaweed Cloak. Choose one.
Fifth task: 108,000 in-game purchases. Complete 108,000 in-game purchase tasks for a mysterious reward.
"This is supposed to be a mission? Is the Endless Mastermind idiot?" Fan Knight was very puzzled. He had been playing games for so many years and had never seen such a bizarre mission.
The Ignition Sword Saint beside him retorted, "I love this kind of quest—simple, straightforward, just pay to win!"
He also took on a series of tasks, including pay-to-win and grind-based tasks, such as fishing online in the Azure Wave Pool. These tasks were divided into one-hour, six-hour, twelve-hour, twenty-four-hour, and forty-eight-hour grinds, and so on. The task required him to hand over all the items he caught, with a little demon supervising him. After completing the task, there were no reward items, only Chaos City contribution points.
"This kind of mission is simple and brainless, not only is it safe, but we also don't need to run around. It's perfect for us! Forget about grinding missions, paying for them is a good option!" said the Ignition Sword Saint. "Let's go check out the Demon Mountain Market..."
The two men bowed and scraped as they approached the chubby man, asking, "May I ask, young general, how do we get to the Demon Mountain Market?"
Although Bai Pang was small in stature, he had a very high opinion of himself. He looked up at the two of them and said, "How dare you two outsiders go to the Demon Mountain Market? Get out of the way, get out of the way, don't get in my way of patrolling, or I'll eat you up."
The Fan Knight and the Ignition Sword Saint exchanged glances, but were not annoyed. They thought that the reason why this chubby little general was so fierce to them was because they had not yet officially joined the Dragon Slayer camp.
They began to explore on their own and soon discovered the entrance to the Demon Mountain Cave. However, just as they were about to approach, the slimes standing guard on both sides of the entrance rammed their heads into them.
"What's going on? Why can't we come in?"
The fan-wielding knight frowned deeply.
Li Hanqiang walked over with Xiang Mang and said, "You can't just wander around like this. This is the territory of the Dragon Slayer Empire. Come, come, follow me!"
He brought the Fan Knight and the Ignition Sword Saint into the Demon Mountain Cave.
At this time, there were many slimes at the foot of the demon mountain, especially on both sides of the mountain road. The slimes were lined up one after another, like a guard of honor, which looked particularly impressive.
Li Hanqiang pointed to the goblin vendors setting up their stalls and said, "That's the Demon Mountain Market!"
The Fan Knight and the Ignite Sword Saint cautiously advanced, approached the goblin vendor, and soon began a shopping spree.
The initial prices of the miscellaneous goods looted by the little demons varied; some sold for only one silver coin, while others could fetch seventy or eighty silver coins.
A single robbery can yield at least ten items of miscellaneous goods, and sometimes as many as fifty or sixty. The more items there are, the more cheap miscellaneous goods there are. Generally, the total value of the miscellaneous goods obtained in each robbery is around five gold coins.
The "pay-to-win" quest requires purchasing items at ten times the price, so even the cheapest odds and ends at the goblin vendors' stalls at the foot of Demon Mountain cost 10 silver coins, and some even cost seven or eight gold coins.
Seeing the two men working hard to complete their mission, Li Hanqiang was quite pleased, but he didn't pay them any attention and thought to himself that he should go and scout out the enemy's situation.
He quietly logged off and went to a live stream that Fat Tiger would never watch. Without saying anything, he gifted a small tank.
"Thank you for 'forgiving' the boss. The boss is back again! The boss is awesome! The boss is so generous!"
