Chapter 265 I'll provide the money, you just do the work.
Chapter 265 I'll provide the money, you just do the work.
Chen You's eyes lit up instantly.
Compared to this kind of supreme training room, which involves massacring entire cities, it's nothing but a small fry.
He could even imagine himself bathing in a shower of experience points.
"And... it's a hidden quest!"
Chen You's lips curled up slightly involuntarily.
He recalled the title he had recently received—
【Trickster Crusher】
[Unique Title]
[Effect: Your actions that disrupt the plot logic will have a higher probability of triggering hidden events or unknown variables.]
Triggering a hidden quest, this is just perfect!
It's a perfect match for my major.
"Tell me," Chen You said, his breathing quickening.
He stared at Hill as if he were looking at a walking treasure trove of experience.
Which quest corresponds to Thousand Light City?
He wished he could transform into a mission master right now and unlock all the hidden siege events in all the main cities.
However, for now, we can only work on Qianguang City first.
However, Hill's professional smile remained unwavering in the face of Chen You's almost fanatical questioning.
She maintained her elegant and composed demeanor and gently shook her head.
"Dear esteemed member, the allure of the Origin Realm lies in the surprises of exploring the unknown."
Her voice was like a clear spring, sending a chill down Chen You's spine.
"Every adventurer's interaction with the world weaves a unique thread of destiny."
"The clues to the hidden quest are hidden among these intricate threads, and you need to discover and experience them for yourself."
"Speak like a human being." Chen You said expressionlessly.
Hill's smile froze for a fraction of a second before returning to normal.
"Sorry, what I mean is, you need to find the trigger conditions for the mission yourself."
Chen You frowned.
Find it yourself?
On a whim, he pulled up a map.
The map is covered with countless exclamation mark mission icons, which is quite overwhelming.
Not to mention those serendipitous encounters that happen without any prior warning.
Who knows which quest is the key to unlocking the "massive monster siege"?
If we tried them one by one, the newbie protection period would have ended eight hundred times by now.
"This is too..." Chen You couldn't find the right words for a moment.
"It perfectly embodies the spirit of games in the Origin Realm, doesn't it?" Hill replied with a smile, "Full of challenges and opportunities."
Looking at her flawless face, Chen You suddenly felt a little itchy.
challenge?
What I need is efficiency!
He took a deep breath and gave up the idea of playing along with this NPC.
"Stop babbling on and on, just tell me how much it costs?"
Chen You held up one finger, his words concise and to the point.
"..."
This time, Hill's smile froze completely.
Her eyes, which seemed to hold the stars and the sea, froze for a moment because of this overly straightforward statement.
The air in the entire Supreme Building hall seemed to quiet down.
A full three seconds passed.
Hill blinked slowly, as if the language module had been reloaded.
That perfect, professional smile reappeared on his face, but it seemed to carry a hint of something inexplicable... helplessness?
"Yes, esteemed VIP member."
Her voice was still sweet.
"The Origin Realm will always open its most convenient doors for you, our esteemed guest."
"Price." Chen You didn't bother with any more words.
"One thousand gold coins, no cheating the young or old," Hill announced.
Chen You didn't even blink.
This price is so reasonable that he wanted to send a banner to Yuanjie.
"Take the money, do the work."
He made his choice instantly.
You have spent 1000 gold coins to purchase "Hidden Quest Clues - Thousand Light City".
A cold, impersonal system notification sounded.
Chen You's account instantly lost a thousand gold coins.
Hill looked at him, his smile growing even more genuine.
She bowed slightly, placed her right hand on her chest, and spoke slowly in a deliberately profound tone.
"Wise traveler, the pointer of fate has already been turned."
Listen to the whispers of the stars; they will guide you on your path.
Chen You stared at her expressionlessly, waiting for her to continue.
Hill cleared his throat and began to recite in a deeply affectionate tone.
Ah, love, it's like a ray of light.
"It makes you feel uneasy, like you're being cheated on."
"..."
Chen You's expression cracked.
"Ah, brother, he's like a wall."
"It blocked that sorrowful window."
"..."
Chen You's lips began to twitch uncontrollably.
Ah, life, it's like a pot of soup.
"I'll stew you all in the center."
"When the beacon shines once more upon the magnificent hall,"
"Warrior, go forth! Don't ask how life is going; first ask, is the soup delicious?"
"..."
Hill recited a modern-style limerick with the solemnity of an epic poem.
The entire Supreme Building fell into a deathly silence.
Chen You stood there, stunned, feeling that his worldview had been shocked like never before.
He spent a full billion Chinese yuan.
Just to hear this one... piece of junk?
The way this money was spent felt like throwing a stack of ghost money into a donation box; the main point was to create a sense of participation, highlighting how outrageous it was.
He looked at Hill, who was still smiling and seemed very satisfied with his masterpiece, opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word for a long time.
Finally, he managed to squeeze out a few words through gritted teeth.
"this one?"
"Yes, esteemed VIP member." Hill's smile was impeccable. "The clue lies within this beautiful poem."
beauty?
Do you have some misunderstanding about the word "beauty"?
Chen You felt a throbbing sensation in his temples.
"Love... a beam of light... so green it's unsettling..."
Isn't this blatant cheating?
Could it be... Cai Wenjuan?!
"Brother... a wall..."
Could it be... Du Chedi and Mengde?!
Life... is like a pot of soup... all simmering in the middle...
Isn't this just the same absurd solution I came up with before: "The three of you should live your lives well"?
They forcibly put the three of them into one pot and stewed them.
It sounds like... the preceding content is a summary of what I did before.
So, the key lies in the last two sentences.
"When the bright lights once again illuminate the magnificent hall..."
A guiding light?
Chen You's heart skipped a beat as he remembered another title he held.
A guiding light on the path of love!
The magnificent hall likely refers to the City Lord's Mansion of Thousand Light City.
"Warrior, go forth! Don't ask how life is going; first ask, is the soup delicious?"
This sentence is even more significant.
So this task actually matches my previous nonsense about "a pot of soup"?
The clues suddenly became clear.
The key figure who triggered this hidden quest is none other than Meng De, the city lord of Thousand Light City!
Or rather, their eccentric trio!
This clue... it can't be described as straightforward, it's more like deliberate!
This is simply a blatant attempt to scam people out of their money!
