Chapter 292 - 178: Shortsword and Treasure
Translator: 549690339
[As you disguise yourself as Wang Nan and head towards Drunken Wind Pavilion, you know that a group of Outsiders is waiting especially for you there.]
[Sure enough, as you approach the Chasing Wind Tower, a few glances instantly focus on you. Many people recognize you; some of them come directly to you, expressing their willingness to follow you.]
[You ignore them, heading straight into the Drunken Wind Pavilion. As you enter, five Outsiders immediately welcome you, the leading youth telling you they’ve been waiting for you.]
[You understand that these people are the ones you’re supposed to find. The leading youth invites you into a private room, while the other four Outsiders guard the door outside.]
[The youth tells you that he is a member of a guild from the Outer Nine Heavens, and represents their president in negotiations with you.]
[After some communication with the youth, you find out that the shortsword you had bought not long ago actually has a connection with the treasure map you just obtained. The shortsword used to belong to the cave dwelling of an ancient powerhouse indicated on the map.]
“What a coincidence! It’s related to the treasure map.”
Looking at the contents of the foreknowledge, Su Nan is surprised.
He can’t help but feel that he has a strong connection to that ancient cave dwelling.
As soon as he gets the treasure map for entering the ancient powerhouse cave dwelling, he also gets a related shortsword.]
[Like you, the other party has also obtained a key to enter the cave dwelling. They have already explored the cave for more than ten days and, by chance, discovered an unexplored secret land.]
“A secret land!” Su Nan’s eyes brighten.
Without a doubt, a secret land undiscovered by others must be filled with opportunities.
In an instant, he decides that he must visit that cave dwelling.]
[You learn from the other party that the shortsword in your hand and another item are the tokens needed to enter the secret land. The secret land can only be opened when both items are present.]
[The other party’s guild has obtained the other item. This time, they’re looking for you to invite you to explore the secret land together. As long as you agree to explore together, they promise to tell you a little secret about you.]
[End of first prediction, would you like to continue?]
“Something about me?”
“Interesting, I’d like to see what you know about me.”
Su Nan chooses to continue the foreknowledge.
[The other party tells you that this matter is very urgent. The secret land does not always exist, but can only be entered at specific times. You only have two days left to enter before it disappears. They require you to go with them as soon as possible.]
[After some consideration, you agree to the other party’s request and decide to explore the cave dwelling together.]
[You then ask them what they know about you.]
[They inform you that just yesterday, three players claiming to be from the Destiny Society sought out their president, wanting him to help them deal with you and stop your growth in the game.]
[Those people claim to have roped in several other top-ranking players, and have offered substantial rewards, including Technique Seeds and ancient scriptures.]
“Destiny Society!”
“They’ve finally extended their reach into the game?” Su Nan’s face darkens.
After their last move, he knew the people of the Destiny Society wouldn’t give up on his bracelet and would definitely come after him again.
He didn’t expect that they would not make a move in the real world, but instead start looking for opportunities in the game.
People of the Destiny Society come from another space, so they cannot enter the game. Therefore, the people of the Destiny Society in the game are not real Destiny Society members.
They are just puppets cultivated by the Destiny Society in reality.
“They’re really generous. In order to deal with me, they even take out ancient scriptures and Technique Seeds.”
If the Destiny Society had tried to deal with him from within the game when he first entered, they might have managed to hinder his growth.
Unfortunately, he has already grown, and even if the Destiny Society finds many more players, they will only be giving him Qi Luck.
“Well, if the Destiny Society really can find a group of Spirit Level players, Lang Thirteen’s Mainline Task will be settled.”
Su Nan is not afraid but instead looks forward to it.
Without rushing to see the people of the Nine Heavens Guild, he turns around and leaves.
There are still two days before the secret land disappears, so there’s no hurry.
“It’s almost time for the task refresh, and I can’t refresh the tasks in Tianyun City anymore.”
Today, his three roles have a total of four 3-star level tasks, but he has only completed one.
If he continues to stay in Tianyun City, there is a high probability that he will refresh the same tasks, which he does not want to see.
After giving it some thought, he heads west and eventually arrives at a place thirty li away from Tianyun City.
This place is an abandoned village called Dayang Village.
The reason for the abandonment is the same as in other villages, due to the increase in demons. The villagers have no choice but to move to nearby towns or cities.
In order to refresh the task of hunting Xuan-level demons, Su Nan takes out the demon named Gou Lian from his Cosmic ring.
Gou Lian is still unconscious, unable to wake up for a while.
After doing all of this, he patiently waits.
Before long, the real-world time reaches midnight.
The game refreshes.
He immediately checks the tasks of his three roles.
[Daily Task 1: Hunt a mortal-level demon.]
[Daily Task 2: Hunt down two mortal-level demons.]
[Daily Task 3: Hunt a Xuan-level demon..]
