With the stimulation of the guild points, the members of Lone Desert Smoke began to pay more attention to the guild quests. Every one of them started to accumulate their levels! Zhang Yang had already announced that those who reached Level 20 first would be added to the party to raid Marzerway's Lair. There was a 20-man dungeon with set equipment. Suddenly, there was a craze for leveling up in the guild.
Who did not want to join Zhang Yang in the Hardcore Mode First Clear Achievement Board? How exciting would it be to see your name floating in the server announcement? Even if you did not have the opportunity to join the party, you could still exchange good equipment with the guild points. That was the real deal! Most people play games because they want to get a full set of good equipment, right?
Of course, leveling up was not something that could be done in a day. It would take at least 3 to 4 days to gather 20 players who were above Level 20. Until then, Zhang Yang could only wait.
Ever since the 44 Thieves failed to ambush Zhang Yang, Zhang Yang had not been attacked by Cheap Trash and the rest of the gang. Fatty Han and the rest of the gang were also under Zhang Yang's care. They were trying their best to reduce the number of times they would go solo, so that no one would have the chance to ambush them.
The next day, Zhang Yang's party of 5 cleared the two 5-man dungeons in Marzerway's Lair. Under Zhang Yang's lead, they arrived at a village – Antler Village.
"Noob tank, why did you bring us here?" Drizzler could not help but ask.
Zhang Yang laughed and said, "I thought you could hold it in!"
After losing to Zhang Yang yesterday, Drizzler said that she would cut off all ties with Zhang Yang. After coming online today, Drizzler did not speak to Zhang Yang at all. She also held it in throughout the dungeon. However, Drizzler was forgetful and forgot about the oath she made.
Drizzler was furious and said, "You sly bastard! Let's compete again today if you dare!"
"Sure, but today, we'll have to put up a wager. Whoever loses will have to pay 1,000 gold coins!"
Drizzler showed a painful expression. If she was given money, she would gladly accept it without hesitation. But to take her money was harder than ascending the heavens! She groaned for a while and said bitterly, "I don't have money!"
"Didn't you just get 8,000 gold coins this morning?" Zhang Yang bluntly exposed her lie.
Yesterday, The Dominators and Sky High had made a bet with Zhang Yang to get the First Clear Achievement of the dungeon. One dungeon was 10,000 gold coins, and two dungeons would be 20,000 gold coins. They were all sent to Zhang Yang this morning. If the five of them split the forty thousand gold, then each of them would get eight thousand gold!
"I … I gave it to my cousin!" Drizzler was quick to react and quickly pushed Little Snow out.
"Ha, ha!" Zhang Yang looked up at the sky and laughed out loud. However, he did not intend to linger on this topic any longer. "I have a quest to do here!"
"What mission?" Even though Fatty Han had left Blazing Sky City, he still had feelings for the "Foot Wash Girls". He still wanted to talk to them about life and dreams!
"Main Story Quest!" Zhang Yang purposely paused for a while before he spat out the words.
"Main Quest!" Little Snow and the others exclaimed in unison. "What's the reward?"
Everyone knew that the main storyline quest would give very good rewards, but so far, not a single player had completed the main storyline quest. The game officials were also secretive, covering the main storyline quest with a layer of mystery.
"A lot of good stuff!" Lin Luo did not say anything, so he immediately received angry stares from Little Snow and the others. He quickly raised his hands and surrendered. Zhang Yang himself did not know what the final reward of the main storyline quest was. He only knew that it was a quest line that started the Spectre Invasion.
However, if he did not say anything, he was afraid that it would cause public outrage!
Zhang Yang quickly racked his brain and said, "It should be skill points, Yellow-Gold equipment … and maybe even a super combo skill!"
"Let's go!"
Everyone was in high spirits and entered the Deer Horn Village together.
"Why is there no one here?" They had walked quite a distance into the village, but everywhere was bleak and desolate. The cold wind blew, giving them a gloomy feeling. Little Snow shuddered and could not help but lean towards Drizzler.
"Hmm, our quest is to investigate the source of all this!" Zhang Yang tried his best to recall the post that he had read in the past. It had been a long time, so he could only remember that the main storyline quest started from this village. As for how it was triggered, he had long forgotten. After all, he did not know that he would be reborn 5 years ago!
The five of them walked around the village and searched every house. They even searched the wells and cellars, but they still couldn't find a single person.
"Holmes, there's not a single soul here, where are we going to get the quest?" Little Snow rolled her eyes at Zhang Yang, but Hundred Shots and Fatty Han felt weak in their knees.
Zhang Yang was frowning and did not pay attention to Little Snow. After a while, his eyes suddenly lit up and said, "Say that again?"
"Say what again? That you're a pig?" Little Snow pursed her lips into a smile.
"Oh right!" Zhang Yang finally thought of the key point and said, "Take off your clothes!"
Little Snow was stunned and said, "Pervert, we're not that close, right? Besides, even if I like you, there are so many people … "
"Han Ying Xue, shut up!" Drizzler was angry.
Zhang Yang laughed and said, "Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding! When I said take off your clothes, I was preparing for everyone to commit suicide! If you take off your equipment, you won't have to pay for the repair fees! "
"Why do you want to commit suicide?"
"Because the NPC who accepted the quest is a ghost!"
"Pfft!" Drizzler immediately laughed, but when she saw that Zhang Yang was serious and did not seem to be joking, she could not help but ask, "Really?"
"Yes!" Zhang Yang was the first to take off his equipment. Fortunately, in 'God's Miracle', men had shorts to cover their private parts while women had a bra and panties. These were not counted as equipment and were considered non-consumable items.
Hundred Shots and Fatty Han followed suit and immediately stripped down to their underwear.
Seeing that the three men were looking at her, Drizzler could not help but cover her chest and said, "You … What do you want?!"
"Little girl, don't worry. With your body, no man will be interested in you for at least 10 years!" Zhang Yang sighed.
"What?!" Drizzler jumped up and said, "How is my body bad? Hmm, how did your eyes grow? Look at my waist, my proportions! "
Little Snow pulled Drizzler and said, "We'd rather die than take off our clothes. Let's go, where do we go to commit suicide?"
"Outside the village. Just find a monster and let it kill you!" Zhang Yang took the lead and ran out of the village. The rest followed closely behind.
"Little girl, if you die with your equipment, you'll have to pay for the repair fees!" Zhang Yang began to provoke Drizzler.
As expected, Drizzler and Little Snow's faces twitched at the same time, but they immediately stood firm. As the saying goes, "Money is a small matter, reputation is a big matter!"
Out of the village, both sides of the road were filled with level 20 and above monsters. The five of them rushed in and were attacked by the monsters. Without any resistance or healing, they quickly turned into five souls and appeared at the village's graveyard.
"Eh? There's a little girl in front!" In their soul state, the five of them immediately noticed a little girl around 10 years old walking back and forth at the entrance of the graveyard. There was a yellow exclamation mark above her head.
[Amy's Soul] (Normal)
Level: 1
HP: 0/50
Zhang Yang quickly ran up and stopped by Amy's side. "Little girl, why are you here alone?"
"Big brother, I'm scared!" The little girl said in a trembling voice.
"Little girl, don't be scared. Tell me, where are your parents and your neighbors?" Zhang Yang asked to trigger the storyline.
"They … they're all dead! Sob sob sob … "Amy cried sadly. But in her soul state, she could not shed a single tear.
Little Snow's motherly instinct was triggered. She hugged Amy and said, "Little girl, don't cry!"
"Who killed your parents and your neighbors?" Zhang Yang was trying to trigger the storyline.
Amy buried her head in Little Snow's arms and shook her head. "Amy can't tell you. It's too dangerous. You'll die!"
"Don't worry, we're the soldiers of White Jade Castle!" Zhang Yang said.
"Really?"
"Really!"
Amy raised her head, still doubtful. After a while, she said, "Then you have to prove your strength first. I can't let you die for nothing!"
'Ding! Amy has a quest for you: Strength Test (1). Will you accept it? '
After the five of them accepted the quest, the yellow exclamation mark above Amy's head turned into a white question mark. It meant that the quest had not been completed yet. If the quest was completed, the white question mark would turn yellow.
After accepting the quest, Zhang Yang and the rest of them resurrected and looked at the quest description.
[Strength Test (1)] (Difficulty Level: C)
Quest Description: Amy wants you to bring back 10 Skeletal Fingers to prove your strength! You can obtain the Skeletal Fingers from the Pale Skeletons. There should be these monsters in the Desolated Skeletons Flatland north of the village.
Progress: Collect Skeletal Fingers 0/10
"Let's go to the Desolated Skeletons Flatland!" Zhang Yang changed his equipment and recovered his status after eating and drinking.
The five of them left the village and headed north. After walking for about ten minutes, the scenery in front of them suddenly changed. The green grass turned into a barren wasteland. The air also became gray and the visibility was extremely poor. It was as if a layer of fog had shrouded them.
In the fog, one could faintly see skeletons slowly wandering around.
'Ding! You have entered the Desolated Skeletons Flatland! '
"What a hideous place!" Drizzler frowned.
"Let's continue with the quest!" Zhang Yang thought for a while and said, "They are all normal monsters. It's not hard to kill them! Besides, it's a looting quest. Let's split up to increase the efficiency! "
[Pale Skeletons] (Normal)
Level: 25
HP: 1,250
The five of them followed Drizzler's instructions and split up. Although the monsters' levels were higher than theirs, with their current equipment, it was not difficult for them to kill monsters that were 3 to 4 levels higher. The difficult part was the drop rate of the quest item. On average, they would need to kill 5 monsters to get one finger.
After about 20 minutes, the five of them had collected all the quest items and returned to the village. However, in order to complete the quest, they had to kill themselves again to see Amy.
After completing the quest, Amy still refused to believe in their strength and issued a new quest.
When Zhang Yang and the rest of them saw the first quest, they knew that it would not be completed in one go. They accepted the quest and resurrected again to complete the quest.
[Strength Test (2)] (Difficulty Level: C)
Quest Description: Amy wants you to continue to prove your strength by killing 20 zombies! You can find these monsters in the Desolated Skeletons Flatland north of the village.
Progress: Kill Zombies 0/20
"This is so troublesome! Every time we accept a quest, we have to die first and the quest location is so far away from the NPC! Who designed this?!" Drizzler kept cursing.
Zhang Yang laughed and said, "If it wasn't for this, this main quest would have been completed by someone else!"
