Lu Chen did not forget to look for the Mountain Man to hand in his mission.
Soon, he found the Mountain Man at the same place. When the Mountain Man saw Lu Chen, his face was filled with excitement. "You, you survived?"
"Nonsense, otherwise you would have seen a ghost in broad daylight," Lu Chen said impatiently. "Looks like you knew that place was dangerous. Did you know that the place would collapse? You purposely made me search for the Source's treasure so that I would fall to my death, right? "
The Mountain Man changed from his previous timid appearance and smiled calmly. "That's right."
"What's your purpose in doing this?"
The Mountain Man said faintly. "You call this game difficulty, but in my opinion, this is God's luck! There is a price to pay for changing God's luck! Sometimes, it's the price of one's life! "
"It's just that I didn't expect you to be so tenacious that you could survive under such circumstances."
The Mountain Man looked at Lu Chen meaningfully. "It just so happens that I need someone like you!"
Lu Chen furrowed his brows slightly. This NPC always felt mysterious.
"Solipsistic, there are countless geniuses in Jiutian. There are also countless strong people who can survive a few levels. However, there is only one person who can aspire to be the best in Jiutian."
"This is your mission reward."
[Ding! Please choose a reward from a portion of "God's Blood" and a portion of "Demon Seed."]
Lu Chen chose the God's Blood without hesitation. After all, he already had an extra Demon Seed. It was just that there was no need for him to fuse with it now.
Perhaps in the eyes of many, Solipsistic was too arrogant and did not even take the Sacred Gate seriously. Unfortunately, people did not understand Lu Chen's true strength.
The strength he displayed now was not his full strength at all.
He did not need to use his full strength to deal with ordinary players, at least for now.
The reason why he had to hide his strength when he came to the Second Heaven was because Lu Chen still had a mission.
That was the quest that he promised Lü Yiyi, the super boss that started by slaughtering the people of Divine Herbalist Valley and now stood at the top of the second heaven!
Based on Lu Chen's current understanding of the Second Heaven, the monsters here were very strong, the maps here were huge, and the player ecology here was even more 'martial arts reigned supreme'. Powerful guilds could even control a main city and so on.
However, he believed that the Second Heaven Domain would not be so simple.
In a situation where he didn't know much about the 2nd Heaven Domain, Lu Chen wouldn't reveal this mission to anyone, nor would he show his full strength.
It didn't matter if the people in the mountains were trying to frame him. It was just a quest anyway. Since he had already given the quest reward, Lu Chen didn't want to compete with this NPC.
"Thanks."
However, Lu Chen discovered that even though he had completed his mission, the mission did not disappear. To be precise, he did not know when he had activated the second part of the "Awareness of the Strong" mission.
Furthermore, this mission had been completed by some strange coincidence!
[Mission "Awareness of the Strong 2 – Hard Mode" (Completed, can be submitted)]
Lu Chen's eyebrows couldn't help but twitch. He raised his head and looked at the people in the mountains in disbelief. "F * ck, there's a follow-up to my mission, but it says that I've already completed it …"
The people in the mountains smiled. "What's so strange about that? The first mission I gave you was to kill the source. You've already completed it when you killed it."
"As for the second part of the mission, you can read the description and you'll know what's going on."
Lu Chen immediately pulled up the mission.
[Mission "Awareness of the Strong 2 – Hard Mode" (Completed, can be submitted)]
[Mission Description: If even a fall from 10000 meters couldn't kill you, and if even the most perfect low-level Spirit Testing Stone couldn't stop you, then you have proven that the current difficulty of the Second Heaven still can't satisfy you. You need a higher difficulty!]
[Mission Details: Escape from a hopeless situation.]
[Mission Reward 1: The difficulty of the entire Galaxy's Second Heaven will be increased from "Normal" to "Hard". In Hard mode, monsters' attributes will be increased by 100%, players' attributes will be decreased by 15%, and all server income will be increased by 15%. Equipment of Dark Gold and above will be unlocked, and their drop rate will be increased.]
[Mission Reward 2: Choose one of the 81 types of special essence and receive 1,000,000 special essence.]
Lu Chen was completely dumbfounded.
He had to admit that it was his idea to increase the difficulty of the game last time, but this time, it really wasn't his choice.
Who could he blame for not falling to his death? After falling, he would have to think of a way to get out. Even if he broke the Spirit Testing Stone, he couldn't be blamed.
But in the end, the mission was completed just like that …
Wait a minute. Lu Chen couldn't help but think of the hopeful faces of the players on Earth. If they had finally arrived at the Second Heaven and found out that they were directly facing the Hard mode …
However, if his attributes were increased by another 100% from the Normal mode, Lu Chen's HP would reach 3,000,000! His attack would also break through 200,000 …
After a painful hesitation for a short one second, Lu Chen handed in the mission.
"I'll choose the ethereal creature's essence and upgrade Taotie. That guy's attack burns mana. Now that spiritual energy is becoming more and more important, this should be quite useful."
"As you wish!"
[Received 1,000,000 ethereal creature's essence.]
After completing two missions in one go, Lu Chen made a huge profit.
Without saying another word, he first upgraded little Taotie. 2,000,000 was enough for it to directly grow into a "teenager".
Taotie's attributes were about the same as Tao Wu and Hundun. The key was to look at the special effects.
[Talent "Divine Beast Bloodline": Spiritual Absorption Attack. When attacking in close combat, absorbs 100% of the target's normal damage's pure spiritual energy (This effect can be bestowed to a specific unit).]
The special effects were just as Lu Chen thought. This way, his attacks would have an additional special effect of burning mana.
"Solipsistic, I hope we have a chance to meet again. At that time, I hope you can show off your abilities like now!"
Lu Chen frowned slightly. "No way, Brother Mountain. Don't tell me you still have a mission?"
The Mountain Man smiled slightly. "Take a guess!"
"Guess your ass."
The Mountain Man laughed, turned around, and suddenly disappeared from Lu Chen's sight.
"Are all NPCs these days so elusive?" Lu Chen shook his head. After seeing Old Man Itinerant Immortal, he could only say that he was used to this kind of guy.
"Okay, it's time to go back to the Novice Village. Puppet line. Now I'm also a person with a puppet."
"I, Hu Hansan, am back!" Lu Chen was in an extremely good mood. As he walked in the forest, he talked to himself.
"Hehe, one is bound to have good fortune after surviving a great disaster. This trip to the Spirit Condensation Mountain Range was so rewarding."
Not long after, he was not far from Nie Yuan Village.
Speaking of which, it was strange. When he was near the village, he could always see player teams killing monsters and leveling up nearby. However, this time, there were only a few scattered teams hunting.
"Where are the players?"
At the entrance of the village, Lu Chen found that the players were in the village.
The entire Novice Village was filled with people!
A group of people looked like they had nothing to live for.
The atmosphere was a little strange. Lu Chen frowned.
"Look, it's that person!" Suddenly, someone shouted. Tens of thousands of players looked up at the same time and stared angrily at Lu Chen.
Lu Chen blinked his eyes. What, what's going on …
