Chapter 60

It was already very late when Feng Xiyan came online, and he logged off again after playing for just over an hour.

Yuan Yitong and Fan Shu were never online at all, and Yan Ziyue and Lu Xiuying were only online for a short while, almost just to enjoy the scenery.

Mu He was angry!

Even if they reach level 30, they won't be able to win in the subsequent professional leagues, but at least they should show a professional attitude. How can they be so lazy!

Thinking of this, Mu He logged into his mobile phone QQ before going to bed and shouted in the "One Group of Wolf Exterminators" group:

Mu He: Everyone must be online before 1pm tomorrow. Anyone who is late will be a dog!

Of course, the teammates all agreed.

——Is it possible that you haven’t slept yet?

Mu He felt a little disappointed, but thinking that the challenge had just ended and it would be okay for everyone to take a day off, he finally sighed helplessly, put down his phone and went to sleep.

The next day, he got up on time and went to work at Qingjiu with Feng Xiyan.

In fact, Mu He could have asked Feng Xiyan for a leave of absence for as long as he wanted. Feng Xiyan would not have deducted his salary.

But Mu He's self-esteem wouldn't allow it.

If you don't pay anything and just take this salary for nothing, what's the difference between that and being kept by someone?

Mu He didn't like this.

But going to the company means meeting Fang Cheng again.

After Mu He watched Feng Xiyan enter his office, he returned to his small cubicle in the office and sat down.

As soon as I sat down, Fang Cheng came.

Mu He looked at the man warily, and hid back with his chair. Before he could react, there was something extra on the table.

——Fang Cheng put a box of cake on Mu He's desk and smiled at him: "Good morning, please have some cake."

Mu He's first reaction was: "...No poison, right?"

"That won't happen." Fang Cheng didn't mind him saying that. He placed the small spoon that came with the cake on Mu He's cup and said, "This is my apology for being a little offensive with my words yesterday."

"Well, not really..." Mu He was not very good at dealing with this situation.

He looked up and exchanged glances with Fang Cheng, thinking that Fang Cheng was his HR after all, and that he was able to join the company thanks to Fang Cheng. Not wanting to make their relationship too awkward, he finally accepted the cake: "Thank you for the cake, I'll eat it later."

"Yeah." Fang Cheng smiled at him again, "As I said before, you can come to me if you need anything."

Mu He finally put aside his grudge and smiled back at him: "Okay, thank you."

After he finished speaking, he watched Fang Cheng turn around and leave, then he laid down on the table and stared at the cake for a while. He felt uneasy - was it really not poisonous?

Mu He didn't eat the cake until noon. Then at noon, he went to the restaurant with Feng Xiyan, holding the cake.

Feng Xiyan understood the cake in his hand the first time she saw it: "Is it a gift from Fang Cheng?"

Mu He said "hmm".

Feng Xiyan didn't say anything.

After the two of them had lunch, Mu He felt it was inconvenient to carry the cake around, so he ended up eating it.

——Well, it’s not poisonous.

It’s quite delicious…

Feng Xiyan looked at Mu He's cautious expression, which looked like "Will I die?" and found it a little funny. He couldn't help but laugh: "Do you think he will poison you? Then why did you eat it?"

Mu He came back to his senses and licked his lips: "It would be a waste if you don't eat it." After that, he didn't wait for Feng Xiyan to respond and asked something else, "You don't have work today, right?"

Feng Xiyan thought for a moment and said, "There's nothing that requires me to show up."

Mu He: "Okay then, see you at 1pm!"

Feng Xiyan said "hmm".

So, at 1 p.m., Mu He went online on time. Seeing his teammates popping up one after another like mushrooms after rain, he had to say that he was very pleased.

——Wolf Destruction Team, all members are online!

After Mu He gathered everyone into the team, he rode a wolf around the City of Right and Wrong for a few laps, took on all the tasks he could, and then took everyone out of the City of Right and Wrong to complete the tasks.

When forming a team, if the team leader accepts a task that no teammate has accepted, it will be automatically accepted.

So it is enough for Mu He to take the task alone.

"Wow, this is my first time to team up with so many people!" Yuan Yitong couldn't help but sigh.

Before today, they had always been a team of five, and all they did was to clear dungeons. This was the first time that seven of them had teamed up together to go out of the city and clear quests, and it felt really interesting.

Not to mention that he found it interesting, Mu He also found it very interesting - it had been a long time since he had played in a team with so many people, and they were all people he had met in person.

The more people there are, the more fun the game becomes.

However, just as they left the city and had not run far, they bumped into a translucent figure and were all startled.

Yan Ziyue was the first to stop his mount: "Huh? What was that just now?"

Lu Xiuying stopped immediately and asked: "Ghost?"

"NPC?" Yuan Yitong turned to face the two of them, and sure enough, he saw a translucent figure floating at the city gate. Because she was holding a paper umbrella that covered her face, people couldn't see her face clearly, but it was certain that she was a woman.

Her pale skirt floated in the air, rising and falling - there were no legs.

"What the hell?" Mu He let his wolf lead him to the figure. "I don't remember there being such a thing in the old area?"

Feng Xiyan said calmly: "Do you remember the reward from the village chief? There must be something different in the new area. Try talking to her."

"Okay." Mu He responded, riding his wolf around the figure, "Hello?"

System: [Insufficient number of people, unable to accept the mission.]

Wow, there really is a mission?

Mu He clicked on the guild list, randomly found someone with a higher level, and sent an invitation to join the team.

Received a system response quickly.

System: [The Elf Thief Wolf Smoke has joined your team to "clear the mission."]

After Langyan joined the team, he slowly typed a question mark?

Mu He replied to him: "We are short of people for the mission. I will tell you our coordinates. Come over if it is convenient for you."

"OK," Lang Yanqi responded cheerfully, then suddenly said with a chuckle, "You guys did great in the Challenger League. Are you going to play in the Pro League next?"

It was Yan Ziyue who responded to him: "Yes, are you coming?"

It was obvious that this was a joke, but I didn't expect Langyan to react so quickly and blurt out: "Come on, if you dare to let me come, I will!"

The teammates couldn't help but laugh.

Mu He opened the map and looked at the location of the smoke. Seeing that he was almost there, he tried to talk to the figure again: "Hello?"

This time, the figure responded.

The girl, floating in the air with a paper umbrella, turned to face Mu He quietly and spoke in her ethereal voice: [Can you see me...]

System: [Congratulations on discovering the level 40 hidden quest "Love Has Entered the Bone"!]

"Oh shit, a hidden mission!" Mu He was shocked. It was the first time he knew there was a hidden mission in "Yu Ling"!

Feng Xiyan: "The new area has indeed added some new things, which is interesting."

At this moment, the wolf smoke arrived.

He is a level 39 elf thief, wearing a nightgown. His hair is gray and not very eye-catching, but his eyes are a very beautiful blue-green.

As soon as he arrived, the translucent figure spoke again. The ethereal voice seemed to float from the clouds, reaching the depths of everyone's soul: [I have wandered at the city gate for thousands of years, and no one can see me... Why can you see me?]

Mu He: "I want to know too."

The figure didn't expect the player to answer, so he offered his own answer: [Perhaps it was fate. It told me that the time for revenge has come...]

This answer is obviously impossible.

"Did some conditions need to be met?" Yuan Yitong guessed, "This is the first time we've formed a team with so many people."

"This is the first time I've accepted missions in the City of Right and Wrong, and I've accepted so many at once." Fan Shu added.

"It may also be because of the time." Yan Ziyue glanced at the time in the City of Right and Wrong. It showed midnight, which happened to be a day with a full moon.

The length of day and night in the game is different from that in reality. There are four days and nights in 24 hours. They actually left the city gate at midnight on a full moon.

Before they could come up with an answer, the figure spoke again: [Will you help me with my revenge?]

Although Mu He was very curious about what would happen if he refused, he finally nodded: "Yes."

System: [You have accepted the hidden mission "Love Has Entered the Bone."]

Yuan Yitong: "Hmm, the name of this mission is a bit confusing to me."

Fan Shu: "Mostly it's about being betrayed by a loved one and then seeking revenge. Many plotters like to use love as a theme."

Yan Ziyue: "If you want to resonate with others, love is the best topic. After all, everyone has experienced it."

Lu Xiuying: "Most of the music is also about love."

Bai Zhuo: "I haven't..."

The smoke of war rose: "Not interested."

"Hey, hey, hey, please be quiet. I can't hear what the NPC is saying." Mu He was helpless.

He now realizes the disadvantages of having too many people around. It's really noisy with everyone talking at once.

As everyone fell silent, the girl's words immediately became more prominent: "My name is Wumei. I'm dead. What you see now is my residual soul. Before I died, I was a fox demon with a lost heart. I dug my heart out and gave it to someone, and then he killed me."

Everyone: ???

Yan Ziyue: "Wait? 'Heart-digging' means literally digging out the heart? So this has anything to do with love?"

Wu Mei ignored him. When she spoke again, her tone became a little agitated: [I want revenge! I want to find that man and kill him! He has my heart and my bones, so he must still be alive. I want to kill him!]

Wu Mei: [But before that, I need a body that can move freely.]

Hearing this, everyone almost instinctively took a step back.

Are you going to play a ghost possession game in this game? That's a bit scary...

However, Wu Mei's next words were: [I lost my body while wandering. I hope you can help me find it so that I can attach myself to my body and become a demon.] @Infinite good articles, all in Jinjiang Literature City

So that's how it is. As long as you're not possessed, everything will be fine.

Thinking of this, Mu He nodded: "Okay."

System: [Quest Progress 1: Search for the Undead Corpse. Quest Hint: Nearby monsters may hold clues.]

Wumei’s explanation was so confusing that no one understood it. Fortunately, there were system prompts.

Hearing the system prompt, Mu He immediately understood what he had to do: "Kill monsters."

"We could have fought it earlier. It just so happens that other tasks also require us to fight the monsters here." Yuan Yitong said as he jumped off his mount, caught a nearby monster and threw a skill at it.

With him taking the lead, others also took action.

Mu He glanced at Wu Mei, who was still floating beside him with the umbrella.

Mu He tried to run forward for a distance, but Wu Mei actually followed him for a distance, obviously turning on the automatic follow mode.

Tsk tsk, it’s a bit exciting to be chased by a ghost for the first time.

But it’s better this way, so I don’t have to worry about losing the client.

Thinking of this, Mu He confidently fought the monsters around him, asking as he fought, "Do you have any clues for me?"

"Do you know anything about Wumei?"

"I'm doing the quest [Love Has Entered the Bone], can you help me, brother?"

Feng Xiyan couldn't listen any longer: "It's useless to ask this."

Mu He was dissatisfied: "Then how can I ask it effectively?"

Feng Xiyan also came over to fight the monsters, saying as he fought: "Corpse, fox demon, female ghost."

Mu He raised his eyebrows and instantly understood what Feng Xiyan meant - the key words.

If the clue is really triggered during the process of killing monsters, it must be triggered by keywords.

But that seems so stupid...

Mu He glanced at Feng Xiyan with disdain and asked again: "Brother, where are the corpses?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Xiyan used a "Holy Light Punishment", which was very strange.

System: [Obtained clues 1/100.]

Fuck, I spent all this time trying to find any keywords to trigger, so all I have to do is kill monsters?

In order to confirm his guess, Mu He and Feng Xiyan stopped talking and silently defeated a few more monsters...

System: [Obtained clues 12/100.]

"Alright, just fight the monsters peacefully." Mu He said, no longer making random attempts, and began his familiar command in the team channel, "Don't just fight your own battles, lure all the monsters over here, one wave."

In the team, the other six people had all been commanded by Mu He. When they heard his voice, they immediately did what he said.

The remaining person hesitated for a moment and then came towards him.

Mu He paid special attention to this level 39 elf thief and found that his operation was much better than he had imagined. His attack could be said to be orderly in chaos - seemingly disorganized, but basically he was attacking in coordination with his teammates' buffs, so even though he was only level 39, his effective output was not low.

In the game "Yu Ling", thieves, like hunters, are a profession that is more suitable for single combat than team battles. They have almost no group attack skills and all of them are single-target damage.

Originally, Mu He was a little worried that this thief would be as "unsociable" as Bai Zhuo, but he never expected that his team awareness was quite good.

After the fight was over, Mu He couldn't help but ask him: "The smoke is rising, do you have a big account in the old area?"

The wolf smoke rose: "Huh? Why do you ask?"

Mu He: "Guessed. And I guess you played a team battle profession in the old area."

Langyanqi laughed: "How did you know? That's amazing, isn't it? I do have a big account in the old area, and I play Shield Guard."

Mu He raised an eyebrow. He guessed that Lang Yanqi had played a team battle class in the old area, but he didn't expect it to be a shield guard.

The shield guard profession is the same as the priest, both are scapegoats... No wonder Lang Yanqi plays a thief in the new area. @无限好文,全在Jinjiang文城

When Mu He first entered the new area, he also thought about playing a hunter or a thief.

However, playing a hunter requires distraction, as you have to fight yourself and command your pet at the same time. Rogues have too many weapons and skills, which are too confusing.

——Every profession is not easy.

Mu He wanted to ask something else, but before he could open his mouth, he heard a system prompt: [48/100 clues obtained.]

His attention was instantly diverted. "Two more waves of monsters should be enough. Xiaoshu, pay attention to your position. You were too far forward just now. Xiaobai, your dog blocked the assassin's skills. Come out and take the beating."

Fan Shu: "OK."

Bai Zhuo: "Ahem, I'll pay attention."

After the group defeated two more waves of monsters, the mission progress bar finally reached 100%. Then, a translucent monster appeared before them, slightly larger than the ones they had just defeated. "Stop fighting! I know where the corpse you're looking for is. Follow me!"

After Mu He responded, the translucent monster led them forward and soon came to a giant tree.

The monster left behind the four words "right here" and disappeared into thin air.

Mu He glanced at Wu Mei who was following behind him. Seeing that she didn't react, he had to study the area himself: "Is it buried under the tree?"

Yuan Yitong: "So what are we going to do? Dig the ground?"

Mu He tried to chop the tree with his sword, and after a while, the gap on the tree was automatically repaired by the system.

He tried again to stick the sword into the soil under the tree, pry up some soil, and after waiting patiently for a while... the soil did not return to its original state!

"Here, here, here!" Mu He was excited, "Right here!"

"Holy crap, are we really going to dig?" Yan Ziyue was convinced. "This game is getting really awesome. You can even dig the ground."

Several people continued digging down where Mu He was digging. They didn't know how long they dug, but they actually dug out a piece of bone.

Bai Zhuo was a little scared and took a few steps back silently.

Fortunately, this stupid game doesn't actually require players to dig out an entire skeleton.

Even with just a fragment of bones exposed, Wu Mei reacted immediately: [These are my bones! I can finally have a body again!]

She spoke with some excitement, and her whole body... no, her whole ghost pounced on the piece of bones.

The next second, a black aura rose from the white bones. When the black aura disappeared, a woman in a black robe turned around and appeared in front of them.

She is a very charming woman, wearing bright red eyeshadow, sexy red lips, and her every move is extremely charming.

Mu He can check her information this time: Wu Mei (Level 60 Demon Mage)

There are levels and professions... Mu He frowned, suddenly feeling a little uneasy.

Before he could think about it, Wu Mei spoke.

Possessed by the devil, she spoke again, her voice less ethereal and more alluring: "Thank you for helping me become a devil. To repay you, I'll give you something as a reward."

System: [Congratulations on completing the mission "Searching for the Charmless Corpse"!]

System: [Congratulations on receiving the reward "Sword without Charm Bone"!]

Mu He opened the storage space and found a bone-textured sword inside. It was a level 40 orange item, and the description was: A sword made of the bones of an unenchanted corpse.

Mu He: “…”

The reward for magic professions is probably something like "No Charm Bone Wand", right?

Mu He took a quick look at the attributes of the sword. It was pretty good and he could use it before upgrading the sword he made to level 40.

But the key point is still experience - after completing this task, his experience skyrocketed, and he actually leveled up twice to level 42!

This leap is like riding a rocket.

Before he could share this surprise with his teammates, Wu Mei spoke again: [With a physical body, I can seek revenge! I must find the man who killed me and kill him!]

Wu Mei: [His name is Gu Qingheng. Because he has my heart and my bones, he is now a fox demon. Can you help me find him?]

Mu He didn't care about anything and nodded before saying, "Yes."

System: [Task Progress 2: Find Gu Qingheng. Task Tip: Gu Qingheng is a demon. You can go to the demon tribe's territory to check.]

"I'm going to the Demon Tribe's territory?" Mu He thought he had misheard. "Are you asking us to go to the Demon Tribe's Adventure Avenue?"

This road is not ordinary long.

Yan Ziyue: "I still don't understand what this mission has to do with love."

Yuan Yitong: "To be honest, I don't understand either."

Mu He recalled Wu Mei’s words, and it was true... he couldn’t hear any love between her and that guy named Gu Qingheng?

It sounds like they are more like enemies of each other?

Killing and killing...

"Hmm?" Suddenly, Fan Shu made a sound as if he had discovered something. Seeing that everyone subconsciously looked at him, he tentatively opened his mouth and told them what he had discovered. "Could it be that Wu Mei originally loved Gu Qingheng, and to save him she dug out her heart and gave it to him, but after losing her heart, she no longer had love?"

"Wow, Blind Student, you've found the key point!" Bai Zhuo was completely impressed by Fan Shu, but he had a question, "Then why did Gu Qingheng want to kill Wu Mei?"

Fan Shu: "I don't know."

"You'll know if you keep doing this mission, right?" Mu He said, "I feel like this mission is going to be very long. I don't know if it will save if I log off midway."

Yuan Yitong: "Why think so much? Just do it first, and see how far you can go."

Mu He: “That’s right.”

Mu He said as he summoned his mount, and everyone summoned their own mounts and rode on them.

You have to reach level 60 to get a flying mount, so now they can only ride land mounts to get there.

Lu Xiuying ran to the front and said, "I'm familiar with the demon tribe. I'll lead the way."

"OK, I leave it to you~" Mu He said happily, and suddenly found that there were quite a variety of races in their team. All five major races were present, without any one left out.

Then Mu He turned his head and was shocked to see Wu Mei riding behind him!

Perhaps because he was the captain, after he rode on the wolf, Wumei, as the client, automatically rode behind him and sat sideways on his wolf with a somewhat charming posture.

Mu He turned his head silently, pretending that he saw nothing. However, after running for a distance, he remembered the information he had seen before - a level 60 demon mage.

Tsk, it’s understandable that there are levels, but why are there also professions?

Could it be that at the end of this mission, they still have to fight the client...
