"She's not angry!"
"She probably didn't notice us digging up the corpse!"
"Thank goodness! Thank goodness! If she saw us, we'd be dead! "
The few players who had automatically switched the conversation to the chat system started typing in the party channel.
They heaved sighs of relief and looked at each other before fixing their gazes on Boxed Lunchbox.
Boxed Lunchbox was silent for a while before looking at the Calabash.
The Calabash swallowed his saliva when he received the signal from his captain.
He took a deep breath and stepped forward. First, he imitated the actions of the NPCs and skillfully drew the symbol of the Scepter of Life on his chest. Then, he respectfully said,
He then said respectfully, "Lord Zero, we're chasing a Goblin here. Oh … we've been searching for ruins in the forest."
"I see."
Zero nodded gently.
The Calabash heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Zero accepted his explanation.
Then, he thought for a moment, and asked with 70% anticipation and 30% apprehension, "What's the matter?
"Lord Zero, what are you doing here?"
"Me?"
Zero said sincerely, "I'm here because of the Goddess of Life.
"I'm here because Her Holiness the Mother Goddess ordered me to search for the last fragment of the Scepter of Life."
Looking for the last fragment of the Scepter of Life?
The gamers were invigorated.
Zero came with a mission!
If an NPC had a mission and told the gamers about it, it could only mean one thing —
The mission was most likely left for the gamers!
They were about to trigger a hidden mission!
In an instant, the veteran players understood the twists and turns in the story.
Their eyes lit up, and even the sound of their breathing became a little rough.
If it was a hidden mission involving the Goddess of Life and requiring the presence of a Goddess of Life, it would be a big catch!
"Then … have you completed your mission? Do you need our help? "
The Calabash asked respectfully.
“Goodjob！”
"Calabash, well done!"
The other players were all praising him in the chat channel.
By asking questions and starting a conversation, they could trigger a hidden mission!
Upon hearing the gourd's words, Zero shook her head slightly.
"Not yet … I've encountered a problem."
With that, Zero turned around and looked in a certain direction in the temple.
The players followed her gaze and saw a strange and shocking scene.
Not far away, in mid-air, a crack as tall as a person was floating, as if the void had been torn apart.
The crack was surrounded by a thick fog, making it impossible to see what was inside.
What is this?
The players were very curious.
"What is this?"
The gourd raised another question on behalf of the others.
"This is a Demiplane Spatial Passage."
God's Chosen Zero said softly.
Half plane?
Space channel?
The players' hearts stirred.
They were no strangers to the term 'half-plane' as it was mentioned in the background of the game.
The universe in the game was made up of countless planes, and the World of Segers was one of them. Around each plane, there were half-planes of various sizes.
In other words, a half-plane was a semi-independent sealed space attached to the main world.
"What the f * ck … is this a new map?"
"Very likely! If so, we must have triggered a hidden quest! "
"Gourd! Continue asking! Keep asking! "
The players were discussing excitedly in the chat channel.
The gourd was also very experienced.
He nodded and continued asking respectfully.
"Lady Zero, is the difficulty you encountered related to this half-plane channel?"
"That's right."
Zero nodded slightly.
Then, she sighed and said:
"According to the oracle of Mother Goddess, the last fragment of the Scepter of Life is in this space. However, the upper limit of this half-plane is Silver rank. My power is too strong, and I can't enter it and take it out …"
Planes are divided into ranks?
A Silver-ranked Demiplane?
Wait! In other words, only people with Silver rank can enter this plane?
The players were all shocked when they heard this from Zero.
In an instant, they understood everything at the same time.
"Damn! Isn't this a proper hidden quest?! "
"It must be! We're all Silver rank, Zero can't enter, but we can! "
"Quick! Quick! Gourd, accept the quest! "
The players excitedly typed in the chat channel.
The gourd also thought of this.
He suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked expectantly:
"Then … Lady Zero, what do you think of us?"
"You?"
Zero's expression changed slightly.
"That's right! We're also the most loyal believers of the Goddess. Since you can't enter, we're willing to take your place and enter this half-plane to search for the fragment of the Scepter of Life! "
The gourd said flatteringly.
"Haha! Gourd! You're so smart! "
The other players typed in the chat channel.
As soon as the gourd finished speaking, the Oracle Zero turned around and carefully sized them up.
"You're willing to help me?"
"Yes! Yes! "
The group nodded like chicks pecking at rice.
This was the best time to gain favorability and curry favor with her!
After all, she was the most powerful NPC in the entire server other than the Goddess, and she might even trigger a hidden quest!
Then, the players saw Zero, the oracle, smile.
The corners of her mouth curled up, and her originally cold aura was instantly replaced by a friendliness like a spring breeze.
"Thank you, brave chosen ones."
Zero nodded slightly, and her originally cold voice had a hint of gentleness.
"If that's the case, you'll go in for me."
She waved her hand lightly, and a green stream of light floated out from her fingers and entered the bodies of the five players.
"I've already set up a long-distance communication spell for you. Once you enter the half-plane, I'll be able to see what you see and communicate with you."
"Let us find the last fragment of the Scepter of Life together for Her Holiness Mother!"
Zero said with a fervent expression.
Following her words, a new system notification appeared in the vision of the five players, accompanied by a familiar female system voice:
[Ding.]
[Favorability of God's Chosen towards you has increased by 20 points. Your relationship has reached Friendly.]
[Ding.]
[You've triggered a hidden quest: The last fragment of the Divine Artifact.]
[Quest Description: God's Chosen is searching for the last fragment of the Scepter of Life. In order to help her, you've decided to infiltrate the half-plane where the fragment is located …]
[Quest Objective: Find the last fragment of the Scepter of Life and hand it to God's Chosen.]
[Quest Time Limit: Unlimited.]
[Quest Headcount: 5-Man Party]
[Quest Level: 41]
[Personal Quest Reward: 100,000 EXP, 10,000 Contribution Points, 50 Resurrection Tokens.]
[Team Quest Reward: Partner Contract x1 (This is a mysterious contract, said to be related to the Megalosaurus.)]
Seeing the system notification that appeared, the players were overjoyed.
"Damn! The hidden quest really came! "
"Hahahaha! It even increased favorability by 20 points! We've struck it rich! "
"The reward for this hidden quest is very generous!"
"Wait … Team quest reward? Partner Contract? Something related to the Megalosaurus? "
"Tsk … Another reward that I've never seen before! Could it be a contract with the Megalosaurus? "
"If that's true, then we've struck it rich!"
Seeing the reward given by the quest, the players took a light breath, their hearts were moved.
"Brave chosen ones, this half-plane passage is not stable. To avoid any accidents, please set off as soon as possible. Once the quest is completed, the generous Her Holiness Mother will definitely reward everyone handsomely. "
God's Chosen continued.
Hearing her words, the players' expressions became more expectant.
They nodded and then walked toward the spatial rift under the guidance of Boxed Lunchbox.
The five players lined up in a row and approached the crack one by one. Then, they jumped into the crack.
In the blink of an eye, their figures disappeared into the passage.
…
It was sticky and slow.
After entering the white spatial passage, the players felt as if they were stuck in glue.
However, this feeling left as quickly as it came.
They felt as if they had passed through an invisible barrier. The white fog around them suddenly bloomed with a more dazzling light, causing them to close their eyes subconsciously.
Their consciousness was slightly dazed, and they felt as if the world was spinning. After a few seconds, they returned to normal.
The dazzling light disappeared, and they opened their eyes.
Below them, there was a green forest.
Before the players could rejoice, a strong sense of weightlessness suddenly came over them.
With a "plop, plop, plop" sound, the five of them fell from mid-air into a sparkling lake …
Faintly, the players heard a clear exclamation from the shore.
"Oh no, someone fell into the water!"
It was Elvish.
