052. Husband and wife mission
Qin Yang did not care about these gossips for the time being. The holographic system had just been released. Even if these max-level experts were most concerned about the team competition, he still had to familiarize himself with the various functions and changes in the next two days. After all, this was a game, and 'playing' was the main thing.
Shishui and the others did not care about the First Clear of the Instance Dungeon. It was said that these two days, Copenhagen Daas had led his forces to run Instance Dungeons everywhere. He did not even let go of small Instance Dungeons that were level 40 or 50. They had already taken a large number of First Clears, causing a bunch of newbies to complain incessantly. They all complained to the game company that their strength was uneven, and that they could not compete with the gods.
However, the game company's response was "Only the most capable will get it". In this situation, the players who weren't up to par could only watch with envy.
Qin Yang's attitude was not low enough to compete with newbies for the First Clear of the Instance Dungeon. This was not challenging at all, and he disdained doing it. There were also players in the expert group created by Shishui. The rewards for the new round of First Clears were more common experience and equipment. They were not rare. As for the new items like the Lapis Lazuli that they had obtained from Huo Mo, they were not only obtained from First Clears, but added after the holographic system. Anyone who ran an Instance Dungeon could obtain them.
Therefore, Qin Yang felt that at this stage, instead of tackling Instance Dungeons, it was better to take a good look around the game. He could see any scenery, do any mission he wanted, and perhaps he would gain something new. For example, he had accidentally heard about the land purchase from Zhinu.
Shang Huo and Ah Jin once again stood in front of Zhinu. Their Telepathy Index had already exceeded 520 points, and they successfully received the hidden husband and wife mission and began this mysterious journey.
The reason why this mission was not 'hidden' was indeed because not many people had discovered it. This was because, apart from requiring the husband and wife to stand in front of Zhinu together (normal husband and wife missions were to stand in front of Zhinu and Niu Lang respectively), there was another necessary condition, and that was that the husband and wife must have been married for more than five years in the game.
This was practically a heaven-defying limit. Even couples in real life rarely survived the test of five years, let alone in the game. Regardless of whether couples could maintain such a long relationship in the game, just the time that the players were passionate about the game was rarely longer than five years.
Over the past eight years, Qin Yang had watched the players around him come and go. Many of them left because of "love". Their wives ran away with someone else, their husbands stopped playing, or they were heartbroken for various reasons, so they never returned. There was a saying that in the world of games, emotions were all over the place. It didn't matter if it was love, friendship, master, disciple, or brother. When the toxicity of these emotions flared up, it was the end of the game.
Those who were able to make it through the game from the beginning to the end, other than those who leveled for them, were those who truly loved this game and would not feel bored even if they had to travel the world alone with their swords. For example, Shishui, who never flirted with other women, or Wild Crane, who were a couple in real life and went online together to kill time.
Therefore, this requirement alone was like a great wave washing away sand, filtering out almost 99.9% of the players.
As for Merciless Mourning Flame and Little Deity Ah Jin, who had been married for eight years, they clearly fulfilled the requirements.
Because very few people had done this mission, there was no strategy to be found on the internet. Even the netizen who had revealed this mission to Mourning Flame had only vaguely mentioned some clues. He said that this mission was not difficult, but it was rather complicated. They had to travel all over the map, and it would take several days.
After Mourning Flame and Ah Jin accepted the mission, the first few stages were indeed very simple. For example, they went to a certain place to make a wish together, killed a monster together, or collected some items. There were about a dozen stages, and each one was different.
But this was just the beginning, because this chain mission had a total of 81 stages. It was like seeking scriptures from the Western Paradise, requiring the husband and wife to undergo 81 difficult tests.
Moreover, Qin Yang discovered that every nine stages would have a huge test. For example, the ninth and eighteenth stages had taken a relatively long time to complete. After completing them, they could go to Zhinu's place to receive their prizes. In the ninth stage, the two of them received a bottle of "Golden Wind" and a bottle of "Jade Dew" respectively.
Qin Yang, who had a deep understanding of the Fiendgod game, immediately recalled that this was a special prize from the Fiendgod Valentine's Day event three years ago. It was not sold in the market, and could not be dropped by killing monsters. It was basically considered a peerless treasure.
As long as a male and female player consumed "Golden Wind" and "Jade Dew" together, they could fuse … Of course, this fusion was a very harmonious fusion. During the battle stage, the two of them would become one, and all their attack power and skills would be stacked. On top of that, all their attributes would increase by 50%. In a one-on-one PK battle, they would basically be invincible.
In the eighteenth stage, the two of them received 10 dice and a red bean seed respectively. The red bean seeds could be sown in the soil, and the harvested red beans were the raw materials for some rare recipes. As for the former, as long as the couple embedded the red beans they harvested into the six sides of the dice and threw them before battle, both parties would receive a bonus in strength based on the number on the dice. For example, if they threw a 6, all their attributes would increase by 60%.
Only at the eighteenth stage, the two of them had already received these treasures. He Jin thought to himself, No wonder Mourning Flame wanted to do it!
Seeing that it was almost 11 o 'clock, He Jin suggested to Mourning Flame to complete a few more stages before going offline. Mourning Flame agreed, and the two of them went to Zhinu to submit the mission for level 19. Immediately after, level 20 popped up —
Mission 20: Ask Ah Jin to fulfill one of Mourning Flame's requests.
How should he complete this mission? Just as He Jin was feeling puzzled, Mourning Flame suddenly said, "Call me hubby."
He Jin: "…"
Mourning Flame nudged his chin at Zhinu, implying that this was a mission, and she had to call him that even if she didn't want to.
To others, this mission was practically a free point, but to He Jin, it was even harder than an exam … After avoiding it for so long, he couldn't avoid it anymore. Because if he couldn't pass this stage, he didn't have to do the following missions anymore.
After ten seconds of mental struggle, He Jin gritted his teeth and lowered his eyes. With great hesitation, he called out in a soft, youthful voice, "Hubby ~"
He Jin: "…" Moral integrity, goodbye forever!
"Doesn't this sound quite smooth …" Mourning Flame felt very comfortable listening to him. The system automatically detected his satisfaction, and soon, a "ding" sounded. "Mission 20 completed!"
After completing this stage, Mourning Flame moved on to the next stage. This time, it was Mourning Flame's turn to fulfill Ah Jin's request.
Ah Jin: "Give me a gold coin." He Jin thought about it, and still felt that this was the most convenient.
Mourning Flame: "…"
This round seemed to be an interaction between the husband and wife, and the speed was quite fast. After completing two more stages, He Jin wanted to complete one more before going offline.
Mourning Flame accepted the mission, and when the new mission popped up, He Jin was stunned —
Mission 22: Husband and wife, please exchange a kiss.
He Jin: "…"
This wasn't a keyboard online game where you could kiss your target with just a few mouse clicks. This was a holographic game … Who came up with such a shameless mission?
Shang Huo was also stunned, but his face quickly revealed a wicked smile, as if he was overjoyed.
He looked at Ah Jin calmly and asked, "Do you want to do it yourself, or close your eyes and wait for me to kiss you?"
