Chapter 97: Dog is Worthy of Being a Dog
Looking at the title of this hot post, Lu Xun's expression became playful.
The title of this post is - "The Emperor Guild sincerely invites players from all walks of life to participate in hidden missions"!
"Why is it the Emperor Guild again?" he thought to himself.
"As far as I can remember, the Emperor Guild didn't seem to have posted such a message in the previous life. Could it be that I, a little butterfly, flapped my wings and triggered a chain reaction?"
It doesn't seem impossible.
After all, after Zi Dian appeared on the forum, it definitely amplified the desire of the beta players to contact high-level NPCs and explore hidden tasks!
Perhaps without realizing it, the trajectory of the wheel of history has been changed.
“Let’s not worry about that for now, let’s take a look at the content first.” Lu Xun clicked on the post directly.
The post first briefly described the content of the task, but did not explain how to obtain this hidden task.
The mission location is in [Three Thousand Mountains]. Three Thousand Mountains is not the name of a mountain, but the general name of many mountains.
There are endless mountains in that place, rising and falling. You can't count how many mountains there are when you look around, so it got this name.
Therefore, Sanqian Mountain is more like the name of a certain area.
In places with so many mountains, there will be more small sects.
After all, they have no chance of going to famous mountains and rivers, nor to blessed places. However, the mountains in [Three Thousand Mountains] are a good choice, and it is convenient for them to huddle together for warmth.
In fact, most of the sects in the Three Thousand Mountains are of the same origin and have even formed the Three Thousand Mountains Alliance.
Therefore, after the public beta, Three Thousand Mountains has also become a very lively place. After all, not all players have the opportunity to join a large sect. Most players hang out in small and medium-sized sects, so Three Thousand Mountains has always been one of the gathering places for players.
An internal beta player of the Emperor Guild probably happened to land in a novice village near the Three Thousand Mountains, and then triggered the mission by chance through some special channels.
The mission is called [Wanted Order].
A mysterious man killed the son of the leader of Tianque Sect. Tianque Sect is one of the most powerful sects in Three Thousand Mountains and is a high-ranking member of the Three Thousand Mountains Alliance. Finally, led by Tianque Sect, the Three Thousand Mountains Alliance issued a wanted order:
If any cultivator provides useful information and helps Tianquemen find this mysterious man, he will be rewarded with a mid-grade magical weapon. If he can kill this mysterious man with his own hands, he will receive a top-grade magical weapon!
For novice players, mid-quality and high-quality yellow equipment are already rare and valuable items!
This mysterious man was hit by a palm from the leader of Tianque Sect, and there will be a dark red mark on the palm of his left hand.
“This mission feels a bit like posting on WeChat Moments to find a lost pet dog.” Lu Xun complained in his mind.
Logically speaking, hidden missions like [Wanted Order] are not [unique].
It doesn't matter if this kind of task is discovered by Zhang San and he takes it. If Li Si can dig it out, he can also take it.
It’s a competition of speed, to see who can finish first!
This is not a unique task that cannot be claimed by others after you claim it.
Therefore, everyone does this kind of task secretly, and it is a good thing to have fewer competitors. Even if you can't complete it yourself, it's better than others completing it, right?
The reason why the Emperor Guild posted the task on the forum so ostentatiously is very simple - they have found the mysterious man!
The sad part is that they found this mysterious person in the last few hours of the closed beta test...
The Emperor Guild’s current idea is: on the first day of the public beta, they sincerely invite beta test players around the Three Thousand Mountains to join them, form a wild team, and go together to kill this mysterious man!
At that time, large cash rewards and experience value dividends will be given.
After all, this is an open beta test, and some beta testers may have great ambitions, and in order to join a large sect, they are still constantly digging for sect entry tasks, so they have not leveled up. But some impatient players may just join a sect or worship a casual cultivator as a teacher, and have already learned the skills and reached level two or three.
Levels two and three are still very weak, but they have a certain level of combat effectiveness.
There are still quite a lot of beta test players near the Three Thousand Mountains, and there must be quite a few who have officially become practitioners. Let's go and try to chop him together. If you can kill him, that would be the best, and you can directly get a top-quality yellow outfit as a reward. If you can't kill him, then you can immediately provide clues and get a mid-quality yellow outfit as a guarantee.
In short, this task will be submitted immediately on the first day of the public beta test. The only difference is whether or not you can submit it with the head of this mysterious person.
The Emperor Guild is prepared to do both, and although its actions are high-profile, the words between the lines only reveal a sense of "take a chance and turn a bicycle into a motorcycle."
If you lose the bet, then quit while you're ahead.
This is what it means to be steady in the waves!
Players left messages under the post.
"The Emperor Guild is such a jerk! I'm tempted by it!"
"Hey, do you think there will be a public beta player who triggers this mission in just a few hours, and then has the bad luck to find this mysterious person, and then rushes to Tianque Gate to submit it, and happily wins a mid-grade yellow weapon?"
"From a probability perspective, it's not impossible, it's just that the probability is extremely low. Anyway, I'll take a bite first!"
"What are you talking about? There is no such a coincidence!"
"Nothing is absolute in this world. How can it be impossible? I'll give it a try first!"
"I don't believe it, it's too much of a coincidence!"
In fact, the Emperor Guild dared to do this because they did not believe that a cooked duck could fly away.
First of all, this mysterious man is not that easy to find.
Secondly, they were already cautious enough. They formed a team to fight, and if they couldn't win, they would immediately submit the clues, which didn't take too much time.
If this is intercepted by someone, then it means that God doesn't like us!
Lu Xun continued to look through the players' messages, and some players raised their own questions.
"During the public beta, the timeline of Sky Dust was no longer the year 3997 as in the closed beta. The official timeline is now 4000. In the past three years, has the Emperor Guild confirmed that the NPC will be waiting for you to kill him? I really laughed!"
"What are you talking about? The big guild is not stupid. Since they dared to post this, they must have basically determined the whereabouts of the NPC."
Lu Xun looked at the players' messages, his fingertips raised and lowered involuntarily.
He didn't expect that the Emperor Guild would issue this task.
As far as he could remember, this task was only widely circulated on the forum a few days after the public beta, and many people took up this task one after another.
In other words, after the Three Thousand Mountains Alliance issued the wanted order, there was still no clue until the 4000th year of the Tianchen calendar.
It took a long time before a player completed this task.
At that time, many players were already level five or six. They formed a team and actually killed the mysterious man in turns, and received a high-quality yellow suit as a mission reward.
“I didn’t expect that this life would be triggered by players during the internal test.” Lu Xun said in his heart.
At this moment, he couldn't help but think of the ugly face of the vice-president of the Emperor Guild who spoke in a sarcastic tone.
Then, his signature warm smile appeared on his face.
“Should we give the Emperor Guild a big surprise on the day of the public beta?” Lu Xun thought to himself.
