Chapter 24 Valley of Gods
City Lord Leonard slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were sunken and full of vicissitudes. He casually glanced at Lin Shuang and said, “Young adventurer, Juxiang City welcomes your arrival. Remember, Juxiang City will be your home from now on. I will treat you like my own people.”
Although Leonard’s tone was gentle, it revealed the dignity of a superior. Why didn’t he trigger the hidden mission? Lin Shuang felt a little strange. He remembered that in his previous life, the first guild master to trigger the hidden mission was the one who entered the City Lord Manor. After chatting with the City Lord, he triggered the hidden mission.
After completing the mission, the guild master relied on the items obtained from the mission to soar into the sky and enter the Heaven Leaderboard. At that time, it was even widely spread by players.
Let’s try again, Lin Shuang thought. He said respectfully, “Many thanks, my lord. Is there anything I can help you with?” “Uh…” Leonard rubbed his eyes and pondered for a while before saying, “Young adventurer, since you’re so eager to prove yourself, I have something I need you to do for me.”
It’s here! Lin Shuang was secretly delighted and hurriedly said, “Sir, please feel free to ask. This lowly one will do my best to complete it.”
“Go to the tavern in the city and help me find someone. This person is called Xu Ni. As long as you can persuade him to come and see me, this mission will be completed.” Leonard said flatly.
That’s it? Go to the tavern to find this Xu Ni and bring him to see the City Lord. That’s the end of the quest? Lin Shuang was a little puzzled. Didn’t he hear that this hidden mission was very difficult?
“System Notification: Do you accept the quest: City Lord’s Request. Quest Difficulty:
S”
It was actually an S-rank quest. It seemed that this mission was not as simple as it seemed.
[Accept]
Lin Shuang accepted without hesitation.
“System Notification: You have accepted the quest: City Lord’s Request. Quest content: Go to the tavern, find Xu Ni, and find a way to convince him to meet the City Lord.”
“Go, young man. As long as you can bring him to me, I will give you a generous reward. However, I have to remind you that you can’t use force to deal with this person. You have to make him come to me willingly.”
Leonard gave one last exhortation and closed his eyes again.
After leaving the City Lord Manor, Lin Shuang didn’t stay for long and walked straight to the tavern. His past experience told him that this mission was not as simple as he thought.
This Xu Ni was definitely not someone easy to deal with. He might even make things difficult for him. Otherwise, Leonard would not have said no to using forceful methods before he left.
The tavern was opened in the center of Juxiang City. It was currently evening, and there was already an endless stream of people coming and going at the entrance of the tavern.
“Young adventurer, what would you like?”
The bartender with a beard that reached his chest and a cowboy hat stood behind the bar and said to Lin Shuang.
Lin Shuang glanced at it casually and said, “A cup of Blue Longan.”
Blue Longan were the most popular baijiu in Glory. It was sweet and fragrant, and the aftertaste was endless. After drinking it, his strength attribute increased by 5% within half an hour.
The wine glass was filled with dark blue Blue Longan and was pushed to Lin Shuang. Lin Shuang paid 20 copper coins and took a sip.
“Do you know this man, Xu Ni?” Lin Shuang put down his glass and asked the bartender.
The bartender pointed in a direction and said, “Of course I do. This guy is a regular here.”
Lin Shuang looked in the direction of the bartender’s finger and saw a slightly hunched figure sitting in a corner. Compared to the other three to five groups of customers, he looked a little lonely.
“Thank you.” Lin Shuang thanked him and walked in that direction.
The person was an old man. He was wearing a slightly tattered gray robe and his hair was fluffy, as if he had not showered for a long time. He didn’t care about the commotion around him at all. There was a glass of strong baijiu on the table, and he had already drunk more than half of it.
“Hello! Are you Mr. Xu Ni?”
Lin Shuang placed the wine glass on the table and sat opposite the man.
The old man didn’t seem to hear Lin Shuang’s words. He didn’t even look at him. His eyes were fixed on the wine cup in front of him, and he was muttering something as if he was calculating something.
Seeing him like this, Lin Shuang didn’t interrupt him and sat quietly.
After an unknown period of time, the old man seemed to have come to a conclusion. He nodded in satisfaction, picked up his wine glass, and drank it in one gulp.
“Cough, cough, cough…”
The strong baijiu made him cough.
“Hello, are you Mr. Xu Ni?” Lin Shuang couldn’t help but ask.
The old man coughed for a while before looking up. He glanced at Lin Shuang and said, “Did Leonard send you? From the guards?”
“I’m not in the Guards. I’m an adventurer.” Lin Shuang said. He was sure that the person in front of him was Xu Ni.
“Adventurer?” Xu Ni looked at Lin Shuang in surprise. Then, he smiled and said, “Interesting…”
“I’m actually here on Lord Leonard’s request to invite you to the City Lord Manor…”
Lin Shuang got down to business.
“You go back and tell Leonard I’m not going.” Xu Ni said.
“Why?”
Lin Shuang had already expected this. If Xu Ni went back with him obediently, then this mission would not be an S-rank mission.
Xu Ni said impatiently, “If I said I won’t go, it means I won’t go. Even if he comes personally, I won’t go.”
“Sir, please understand. This is a mission that Lord Leonard gave me. As you know, as an adventurer, I was born to complete missions. If you have any needs, you can actually let me help you complete them.”
Seeing that Xu Ni was so determined, Lin Shuang decided to attack from the flank.
“Oh? Really?”
Xu Ni was slightly stunned and looked at Lin Shuang
“Of course, sir. If you have any requests, feel free to ask.” Lin Shuang hurriedly said to him.
“Alright, since you’ve said so, I have something to ask you adventurers for. In the south of Juxiang City, there’s a valley called the Valley of Gods. There’s a creature inside. I heard that it’s the remnant soul of a god that fell from the sky. I’m very curious about this. Help me investigate.”
“System Notification: Do you accept the quest: God’s Remnant Soul? Quest content: Go to Valley of Gods, defeat the God’s Remnant Soul, and bring it back to Xu Ni. Quest Difficulty: S.”
Lin Shuang accepted it.
Xu Ni nodded and said, “Young adventurer, I hope you can return safely. However, I see that your current strength seems to be insufficient. You should increase your strength first before going to the Valley of Gods.”
After leaving the tavern, Lin Shuang opened the map and checked the Valley of Gods. It was indeed south of Juxiang City. He could only reach it after passing through a forest. On the map, there was a line of red words in the Valley of Gods: Level 20 and above.
He could only go after reaching Level 20. However, there was no time limit for this quest, so Lin Shuang was not in a hurry. It was already seven in the evening. Lin Shuang had been in the game for almost ten hours since he entered the game in the morning.
Forget it, he’ll go offline and eat something first.
