Dong Cheng Yue blinked: “When we get back, what should we do?”
I thought for a while: “Stock up on health potions and such items. Tomorrow morning at 11 AM we’ll meet up at Ba Huang City. At 12 noon we’ll promptly take on the Dragon Temple quest. Alright, how about we eat at 10 AM?”
“Okay!”
……
Upon reaching the campus, we slept early and woke up at 8 AM the next day to be in time for my class. After that, we had a light meal while I didn’t drink too much water to prevent going to the toilet. God knows how long we’ll be online. When I came online before 11 AM Lin Wan Er and Dong Cheng Yue were rushing across the map to come to this city. Assassins had high mobility while Wind Elves could fly so they could probably get here in less than 1 hour.
“Shua!”
After logging on, I went to repair my equipment and refill my supply of potions. I went to Ba Huang City’s North Bridge to wait for everyone. After leaning on the white jade railing for a while, a group of people arrived. Matcha, Ducky, Yue Qing Qian, Fox and Who’s Blue all rushed over here since I was the owner of the quest.
“Brother Xiao Yao… ” Said Yue Qing Qian with a face full of delight. Hanging on her waist was two high tiered daggers and she walked towards me happily while saying, “An SSS rank quest, I have never done one before. The toughest quests I completed were only S rank and I’ve even died twice. This SSS rank quest, I think I might cry from dying…”
I responded with a smile and said, “ Relax. This time there’s Matcha and me as tanks. There shouldn’t be a problem at all! You and Cang Tong just take care of intercepting the Boss’s skills. After that, just wait for the loot to drop!
“Ok!”
Matcha was already at Lv 54. Holding a longsword she said, “Boss, I’ve been training all I could, but… but I could only get to 72% of Lv 54. Just a little bit more and I’d be able to equip the Glass Spear of the Dragon’s Soul. Should I bring that spear along?
I nodded immediately. “Of course! This time your job is to tank together with me. If your attack isn’t high enough, you won’t qualify as a tank. Oh besides that, how much is your defense now Matcha? Your shield is quite strong, is it?
Matcha looked at her stats and said, “ Currently I have 3500 health, 1900 defense, and 1750 attack. Boss… Are these stats good enough for the SSS rank quest?”
Next to me, Yue Qing Qian was astonished. “Wow, such high health and defense; it should be enough… The attack power is also rather high… ”
I nodded. “Yup. Changing to the Glass Spear of the Dragon’s Soul, you will have a base attack of 2000. Adding the bonuses, you will have at least 2400 actual attack damage. It should be enough to fight the Boss or at least have the Boss lock agro onto you.”
Matcha chuckled and nodded. “Yup! That’s good. I was so afraid to drag down the whole team…”
“How would that be possible?”
“Hehe…”
At this time, Who’s Blue walked over here. Wielding her staff, she pouted and said, “Handsome Zi Zai, how unfortunate for this mission to have a limit of 9 players. If not, I could have brought Not Yet Red over too. Today she could only accompany a group of stinky men to random places…”
I was shocked when I looked at her Guild Emblem—
ID: Who’s Blue Lv 54 Silver Healer
Main City: Ba Huang City
Guild: [Crimson Contract]
Position: Team Leader
……
“Who’s Blue. When did you join [Crimson Contract] ?” I asked.
“This morning. After Han Bei Song begged us for a long time, we had no choice but to join [Crimson Contract]. After all, our previous guild wasn’t that fun. Brother Xiao Yao, does Zhan Long need more people?”
I shook my head. With a warm smile, I said, “For now we’re full. Both of you, just stay in [Crimson Contract]. Guild Leader Han Bei Song is a nice guy, though a bit wretched. Even so, this guild’s isn’t bad; you can treat it as your home.”
“Ok…”
……
Not long after, at 11:20, three gorgeous beauties arrived in Ba Huang City. Lin Wan Er, Dong Cheng Yue and Yuzi Chengshuo were finally here. This 9-man party was ready!
After sharing the quest, everyone was momentarily filled with immeasurable exhilaration. They could finally see with their own eyes, that I really had an SSS rank quest. It wasn’t a fraud.
“Let’s go. Onwards to Dragon City!” I said.
Lin Wan Er happily nodded. “Alright. Let’s get to Lv 70 in one shot!”
Looking at her level, Damn! She’s already Lv 60 and received her third job skill. On her shoulder was a shining emblem that proved that. Accompanied with bonus stats, all skills could be leveled up to Lv 8!
……
After nearly an hour’s journey, we arrived below Dragon City. In a distance, ropes were hung down. Reaching for one, I pulled down hard. Smiling, I said, “ Dragon City’s public transportation, it’s pretty sturdy… ”
“Sigh… Aren’t there elevators? How primitive… ” Said Yuzi Chengshuo wide-eyed after noticing the rope.
Unable to contain my laughter, I replied. “There’s a need to be simple, ok? Quickly go up. The quest is about to start!”
“Yes!”
Hurrying upwards, it wasn’t long before everyone reached the top. Following Frost, we walked east and entered Dragon’s Tomb. Lin Wan Er, Dong Cheng Yue, and Yue Qing Qian who were shivering from the cold, finally began to recover after they entered Dragon’s Tomb. Under my lead, the group entered further into the tomb. Far away, we finally saw a tiny glimmer of light towards the end of the cave. That’s the stone’s luster. We’re here!
……
“We’ve finally arrived……”
“Shua!”
“Ding!”
System notice: You are entering the map— Dragon’s Temple!
Map Summary: In ancient times, there existed a mysterious technique in the east that spread the people, the Mohists’, fame across the land. The Mohists were master trinket makers and their art was refined over the generations to the degree that even the largest of dragons fell prey to it. Over the course of several hundred years, a myriad of dragons were slaughtered, slain by the technique, until finally, the Obsidian Dragon God appeared, filled with indignation. He demanded the death of the Mohist people. Ten million dragons appeared on his call, dropping from the sky and scorching the Mohists City. In a blink of an eye, the entire land was covered in black soot with countless Mohists devoured whole by the Obsidian Dragon God. Ultimately he imprisoned the guardian master of the Mohist city, Elder Yun Chen in Dragon’s Tomb with his own body. The four largest Dragon Tribes then sent powerful dragons to protect and defend the tomb. After the Obsidian Dragon’s Death, its power did not scatter and remained within the depths of the cavern. Thus Cave, which was the burial of a great dragon was renamed as the Dragon’s Temple. In this era, the Mohist’s technique was long lost! Legends say, whoever willing to accept the challenge to save Elder Yun Chen from the Dragon’s Temple would receive the true teachings and transcripts of him. Upon completion of the quest, the person who received the quest primarily would obtain the [Mohist’s Five Scrolls]. An ancient book that was lost for eons!
……
*Clap*
Dusting my hands, I was full of energy, “[Mohist’s Five Scrolls]… I want it!”
