Chapter 48 Storyline Task
“Gee! We’re doomed. Half of my items are whiteboards. But there are so many pieces of golden equipment on the list!”
“He’s awesome! How did he get the immortal equipment? He must have killed the BOSS of the highest level. He’s invincible! Please help me to level up!”
“All the top five players in the equipment list choose to conceal their character names. This is strange. Maybe it’s the same player.”
“It’s impossible! If one player occupies the top five places on the equipment list of the Huaxia District, we can give up this game.”
“No! It is possible! If this BOSS can drop a piece of immortal equipment, it may also drop several pieces of golden equipment! It is very likely that the top five places in the equipment list are occupied by the same player!”
“Gee! He’s awesome!”
“Hi, buddy, you take the first place in the equipment list. I’m the vice president of the Dama Jindao Guild. We want to buy your immortal equipment and money is not an issue. Please contact me after reading this message!”
…
The homepage of the central forum of the Huaxia District was full of posts about the sudden opening of the equipment list. There were countless posts and replies. They only wanted to find out the player who got the immortal equipment.
Immortal equipment could definitely attract countless players. There were numerous posts about it. Some players wanted to buy it while others wanted to find out the player who got it.
…
However, Xiaofeng still didn’t know how much sensation he had caused. Now, he was looking at the immortal equipment—Circle of Life in his hands and became ecstatic!
Circle of Life
Quality: immortal equipment
Equipment type: earring
Equipment level: 20
Equipment requirement: none
Strength +30
Somatotype+ 30
Agility +30
Intelligence+30
Spirit +30
Hit rate + 5%
Dodge chance + 5%
Crit rate +5%
Particularity:
Faerie: allows the player to wear it by force without considering the equipment level, but the points added to the basic attributes will be reduced by 10% for each level below the equipment requirement.
Life Circle: when your HP is less than 1, the damage you receive will be offset by the same Mana Points. Only when both of your Health Points and Mana Points become 0 will you be killed.
Life Circle Reverse: when your MP is less than 1, you will consume the same number of Health Points if you use the skill. This is valid only when you have more than 50 percent of HP.
It was a precious piece of jewelry, but more importantly, it had powerful and invincible attributes!
Xiaofeng became ecstatic in an instant. This was definitely an earring of immortal equipment. If he could use the last two attributes at the right time, his HP and MP could be doubled! This was an invincible attribute!
And the most important thing was that Xiaofeng could use it right now!
He was only at level 12 and didn’t meet the level requirement of this equipment. So he must accept a punishment after wearing it and the points added to his basic attributes would be reduced by 80 percent. This meant that his five basic attributes only increased by 5 points respectively. But this was good enough! It was worthy of the title of immortal equipment!
Xiaofeng’s two ear holes were empty, so he wore the earrings without any hesitation. This also showed the dearness of jewelry in Myth!
In addition to this pile of equipment, the Golden Skeleton King also dropped many gold coins. There were more than 30 of them and Xiaofeng became rich immediately.
Besides, there was also a map made of parchment. It seemed to be written in the language of the dead. Xiaofeng didn’t understand it at all.
After putting all of them into his backpack, Xiaofeng started to look around for the red sun fruit. This was the reason why he came here, after all.
The great drops of the Golden Skeleton King made Xiaofeng pleasantly surprised and he once wanted to challenge the Big Lich. But he dared not to do this. Xiaofeng had nearly been killed by the Golden Skeleton King alone. Without strong damages of the red sun fruit, it was absolutely impossible for him to kill the Golden Skeleton King.
Although Xiaofeng had the best equipment and operation in Myth, it was still too difficult for him to kill the 20th-level golden BOSS.
Ten minutes later, Xiaofeng’s face darkened.
Because he had searched all the refresh point of the red sun fruit nearby but only found seven fruit. All the other red sun fruit had been collected by him in the battle.
Xiaofeng was helpless. He needed 50 fruit to finish the task, but now he only had 7 of them. There was a big difference. Xiaofeng looked at the time and had to go offline temporarily. He planned to wait and log on later. Maybe the red sun fruit might be refreshed at that time.
Now it was getting late. It was 7:30 in the morning when Xiaofeng took off his game helmet. He pushed open the door and found that Xiao Ling was rubbing her sleepy eyes. The nightdress she was wearing was loose and she was walking to the bathroom with the cute tooth-brushing cup in her hands.
She kept yawning and looked sleepy. Xiaofeng was sure that she had been secretly playing the game last night. She was still spiritless after seeing him.
Xiaofeng could do nothing but go to the kitchen to make breakfast. However, after opening the refrigerator, he had a headache once again. All the snacks he had bought several days ago disappeared and the refrigerator was empty now.
“Xiao Ling, the breakfast is on the table. Eat them before going to school.”
There was also no milk. He could only use yogurt instead. After making a few poached eggs, he found that Xiao Ling was still in the bathroom. So he asked her to eat breakfast and then went back to his room and logged on the game.
However, before going online, Xiaofeng suddenly thought of a problem. Maybe he should find a nurse to take care of her. Now, his main focus was on the game world of Myth and he spent most of his time on playing games. He had neglected Xiao Ling these days. Because Xiao Ling was weak, Xiaofeng hadn’t allowed her to eat so many snacks before.
Moreover, the economic benefits brought by Myth were also higher than expected. Even after the currency exchange system was opened, a gold coin was equal to 100 yuan. With Xiaofeng’s current ability, he could easily pay the salary of a nurse.
Xiaofeng immediately took action. He released the recruitment information on the Internet. He said that the nurse needed to take care of a 13-year-old girl. Besides, he also emphasized that this girl was extremely hard to deal with and the nurse must have great patience and kindness.
After releasing the information, Xiaofeng put on the game helmet and logged on with satisfaction.
He appeared in the Muguang Forest once again. Xiaofeng looked around and only found several scattered red sun fruit. He had collected 7 fruit before and he had a total of 20 of them now. This was still less than half of the requirement of the task.
“Hey! Qian Duoduo is calling you, do you accept?”
Qian Duoduo called him in time. She might find that Xiaofeng was online now.
“Bro Xiao, I’ve already reached level 10! Please send me the comprehensive strategy of the trial mission. When you were offline before, the Nicholas brothers said that they could help me to finish the trail mission. But we were killed before even seeing the monster!”
Qian Duoduo said with obvious disdain, “Now they are trying to form a team. We want to try again after finding a priest and a shield warrior.”
“Wait for me at the entrance of the instance zone.”
Xiaofeng thought for a while and hung up. Then he crumbed the returning scroll of the Tianlong City. He had bought this item when he went around the city before.
Xiaofeng didn’t know when the red sun fruit would be refreshed. He didn’t want to wait anymore and planned to help them to finish the trial mission at first. The Nicholas brothers were strong and they could finish this mission easily if they know the strategies.
However, the number of trial missions and the extra opportunity provided by the Ring of faith to enter it had been refreshed today. It was a waste of resources to give up this opportunity. More importantly, he could get a lot of points of experience after finishing it.
After returning to the Temple of Light, Xiaofeng went straight to the High Priest because he still didn’t know the position of the transmission array of the Temple of Light. Moreover, he could only speak to the high priest now.
“Oh! It’s you. Adventurer ritualist, have you brought the red sun fruit back?”
The high priest was still standing in the main hall, and Xiaofeng found him quickly.
“In fact, I didn’t collect enough red sun fruit. When I went to the Muguang Forest, something special happened…”
Xiaofeng simply told him that he met the Big Lich in the Muguang Forest. Then he handed the parchment map dropped by the Golden Skeleton King and 20 red sun fruit to the high priest.
“Oh? This is…”
The high priest took the parchment map with a dignified look. His facial expression suddenly changed after reading the map.
“Pious ritualist! You’ve done a good job! I’m impressed by your courage! You bring back important information! The power of light is more holy because of your faith! ”
When the high priest was talking to him, Xiaofeng heard the prompt that he failed to finish the task of collecting the red sun fruit. But the following messages made him surprised.
“Hey! You’ve partly completed the task of collecting the red sun fruit and got no task reward.”
“Hey! You’ve triggered the storyline task: the millennium war between light and darkness!”
It was the storyline task. Xiaofeng was surprised. There were many types of tasks in Myth, such as ordinary tasks, hidden tasks, serial tasks, and others. But among all these different tasks, the storyline task was the most important one! It had rich awards, more importantly, it carried the heavy responsibility of promoting the development of the game world!
“High priest, what information is recorded on this map?”
Xiaofeng asked. He didn’t know the language in the parchment map.
“This is a sinister plot of the dark camp! You’re a brave ritualist, please follow me!”
The high priest said and led Xiaofeng to the backyard of the Temple of Light. Xiaofeng also learned something about the current situation after hearing what the high priest had said.
Just a few days ago, the bright forces belonging to the sub-branch of the Temple of Light in the Tianlong City, which included the high priests and other paladins, found a dark force nearby. They didn’t allow any dirty dark races to go out in the sunlight. So they fought with them, but the high priest was defeated.
However, because the dark forces were naturally afraid of bright attributes, they also didn’t get any benefits. So both of them lost the war.
The dark force also couldn’t stand this humiliation. In order to deal with the sub-branch of the Temple of Light in the Tianlong City, they started to keep an eye on the Muguang Forest, which was an important strategic reserve for the bright force. They wanted to slip into the Muguang Forest when the subbranch was badly hurt.
According to the high priest, the Holy Spring in the Muguang Forest contained powerful light forces, which had provided strong support for the sub-branch of the Tianlong City to fight against the dark forces.
Xiaofeng agreed with him. The red sun fruit that grew in the Muguang Forest could cause great damages to the undead race of dark attributes.
