"Yes."
"Receiving external quest … Data processing … New quest generated. Please check the quest list."
Gu Nan was certain that there was no such notification in the game, nor were there any external quests. The only possibility was this "test" in the real world.
He opened the quest list and saw the following words:
Quest Objective: Kill Han Yueren
Quest Time Limit: One hour
Quest Reward: Medium
The Evil God's Temple's quest rewards were never announced in advance. Instead, they were given based on the actual completion of the quest. However, the scale of the reward would be announced.
A medium quest reward meant that this was a medium quest … But how could a medium quest be so simple?
Gu Nan quickly looked around. This was an ancient-style quest, and the people around him were dressed in an ancient style.
The ancient layout often meant that technology was not advanced enough, which meant that security was not tight enough. Assassination quests like this were much easier here than in a high-tech world.
After being in this world for so long, Gu Nan had never received a medium quest.
According to the rules of his previous life, a medium quest was not easy to complete. Normally, it would take at least one or two months.
But now, the time limit was one hour?
Ming Lou's reminder only arrived at this moment. A voice was transmitted directly into Gu Nan's ears. It was a slightly cold female voice.
"Please kill the Imperial Guard Commander Han Yueren within one hour."
"Han Yueren?" Qin Xuanji clearly heard the voice transmission as she turned her head and whispered.
Gu Nan nodded lightly in confirmation. Then, he paused and looked around meaningfully. There was a smile on his face that seemed to be mocking him.
…
In a white room, a man and a woman were looking at a large screen. On the screen were Gu Nan and Qin Xuanji.
"Old Zhang, what do you think this kid is laughing at?" The woman asked casually when she saw Gu Nan's movements. From the voice, she was the one who had transmitted the voice transmission to Gu Nan and Qin Xuanji.
Old Zhang was not old at all. He was a tall and handsome man. He smiled and said, "He can't be laughing at us, right? He's probably laughing at the low difficulty of the mission. He looks like a veteran."
The two of them had done countless assassination-type missions. Of course, they knew that this kind of environment was full of flaws. If they were experienced, it would be easy for them to find the entrance.
"It's not easy for our branch to have two newcomers. Of course, we have to choose the easiest assessment …" The woman picked up an apple and nibbled on it.
"Let's hope we can pass it … If we look down on Ming Lou's quest just because we went easy, we'll die a horrible death."
…
The mission to assassinate Han Yueren wasn't difficult at all. At least for an expert like Gu Nan, it wasn't even considered a small-scale mission in the game.
"There's no technical content at all …"
Gu Nan and Qin Xuanji quickly hid near the commander of the Imperial Guards, Han Yueren. Don't ask why it was so easy. After all, the words "Imperial Guards, Han Residence" were hung on the door.
"They even wrote the words" Imperial Guards ". This is obviously free points!" Gu Nan complained about the ease of the mission as he grinned from ear to ear at the free reward.
"Lower your voice!" Qin Xuanji saw Gu Nan laughing foolishly at the side and couldn't help but scold him in a low voice.
Different from the frivolous Xiao Gu, Qin Xuanji was the kind of person who took everything very seriously. For the sake of her identity as a Blood Kin, she had suffered a lot. If she let her guard down even a little, she could die halfway.
Gu Nan pouted in boredom. He felt like he was going out on a mission with an NPC.
However, according to the usual pattern in the game, when an NPC was assisting the player, the NPC would often withdraw from the battle for some inexplicable reason. The player would still have to complete the battle alone.
"This is reality, there shouldn't be such a ridiculous thing …"
However, in the next moment, Qin Xuanji suddenly said, "Go!". Her figure suddenly disappeared and went straight for Han Yueren.
Only then did Gu Nan see clearly that Han Yueren was already alone. There were only a few ugly guards around him. There were no personal experts at all.
"Hey!" Gu Nan cursed. Only now did he know that this woman had no intention of cooperating with him. Perhaps in her eyes, she could complete the mission herself, so why would she bring along a burden?
Even if Gu Nan didn't intend to go, at this time … Forget it, it's better not to go.
After thinking for a while, Gu Nan actually squatted back down.
The two people in the clean white room covered their faces at the moment Qin Xuanji acted rashly, as if they couldn't bear to see what would happen next.
Han Yueren was a young man with no facial hair. He looked very gentle, very unworthy of the awe-inspiring title of "Commander of the Imperial Guards".
Perhaps it was because of his appearance that when Qin Xuanji suddenly appeared, he was slightly stunned at first, but then he made an unexpected reaction.
Han Yueren showed an expression that didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He took a step back unhurriedly and easily blocked Qin Xuanji's punch.
Only then did the girl realize that something was wrong. She also realized that she was confused by the difficulty of the mission and neglected the most important thing — the strength of the assassination target.
"A mere Martial King dares to assassinate me? Could it be that my name, Han Yueren, is no longer useful in the martial arts world?"
As he spoke disdainfully, Han Yueren quickly raised his leg and kicked Qin Xuanji's lower abdomen. The latter immediately groaned as her body involuntarily flew backwards.
"He's at least Innate Level Six, maybe even Extraordinary Realm … As expected, NPCs are really good at courting death, sending themselves to death when they go out." Gu Nan hid in the dark and watched as Qin Xuanji was taken away.
He had no intention of attacking at all. In terms of attack, he was not much stronger than Qin Xuanji. He was only slightly stronger in endurance and speed, but he was still no match for Han Yueren.
"Huh, this little guy actually didn't attack?"
"It's useless. Han Yueren is at the peak of Martial King, which is Innate Level Six. He can't hide his aura from him … It seems that removing all external obstacles has made them underestimate us."
Old Zhang was a little annoyed. If he missed these two people, he didn't know when the branch would be able to replenish new blood.
As if to prove Old Zhang's words, after Han Yueren asked someone to take Qin Xuanji away, he stood there for a while and suddenly shouted, "Come out! How long are you going to hide!"
It was calm, and no one paid attention to him.
Gu Nan curled his lips. Did he think that he was that retarded woman, Qin Xuanji? How could he be so easily tricked?
Han Yueren sneered. Indeed, he did not know where the other party was, but this was his Han Mansion …
"Men, search every inch of this place for me!"
Gu Nan could not sit still anymore. He suddenly dashed out and shouted at the same time, "Han Yueren, do you really think we're here to assassinate you?"
"To tell you the truth, this is just a delaying tactic! The palace has already succeeded by now, hahahaha … "
Han Yueren's expression changed drastically, and he said angrily, "Bastard, how dare you attack the Third Prince!"
