Chapter 269: Chapter 160: You’ve Only Solved the Puzzle Three Times in So Many Years and You’re Proud of That! _2

This thing is just what he brewed, originally intended for diplomatic use, the real series of elixirs were only Life Extending Pill, Life Purification Pill, Blood Barrier Pill, and such, the others leaned more toward the pill series.

"It’s just too little, bigger would have been better," Heavenly Immortal drunkenly smacked his lips, seemingly still craving more.

"Bigger, how would you recover health? Aren’t you afraid of choking?" Gu Shanhai thought this guy really treated the Blood Restoration Pill like it was food.

The three chatted as they arrived at a broker’s office and quickly rented a large mansion with multiple entries and exits. Heavenly Immortal, drunk, even wanted to buy some maids and servants to live a landlord’s life. But after White Cloud shot him a fierce glare, he dropped the idea.

Gu Shanhai was quite indifferent, as it didn’t matter where he stayed.

After spending a bit more money, they had the broker arrange for someone to tidy up, and the trio moved in with their bags.

It wasn’t until then that Gu Shanhai finally let Little White out, who had gotten a bit sleepy in the Magic Pet pocket but perked up upon release.

"Holy shit, where did you get such a huge deer? It’s almost like a giant beast," Heavenly Immortal couldn’t help but marvel.

Little White was living the life at Dashu Dynasty. Huang Yanshan had arranged a horde of people to cater to it, offering up all sorts of rare treasures and delicacies. He even specifically set up a meadow for it to jump around in, pampering it even more than his own son. Initially, it was Little White who had protected the injured Huang Yanshan, so naturally, he spared no expense for Little White.

Thus, Little White’s physique just kept growing, now of a super gigantic size. Not only could Gu Shanhai sit on its back, but if he called over some more people, they could even set up a table and have hot pot on it without an issue.

"Hmm~" Little White curiously lowered its head to peer at Heavenly Immortal and White Cloud, contemplating whether to spit on their faces.

"You two, stay away from Little White; it’s thinking about spitting on you," Gu Shanhai kindly warned them.

The two moved their feet with a defeated expression, then said, "What does this summoned creature of yours usually think about? It even has this hobby."

Players are not serious, and their summons are no better.

"How would I know why it suddenly got the idea today," Gu Shanhai rolled his eyes, not sure why Little White was planning to spit at them, then told Little White, "Go, find a cool place."

Little White understood, then took a grass cake out of its Secret Technique transport pocket and chewed it as it left.

"You even equipped your summon with storage gear; you’re pretty loaded," Heavenly Immortal teased Gu Shanhai about his extravagance.

"I don’t have much money, it was given by NPCs."

Gu Shanhai and Heavenly Immortal casually bantered as they entered the house, then sat down to plan how to blow up Three-Life Town.

White Cloud was trying to debrief, looking for any clues. But from the looks of it, he probably found nothing—a typical case of being bad at the game yet still playing passionately.

"Let’s settle it as blowing it up for now; but I still want to ask, how do we trigger the main quest?" Gu Shanhai directly posed this question.

"It depends on luck; usually, you get to know after wandering around the area, sometimes you might even stumble upon something," Heavenly Immortal responded helplessly.

"Alright, let’s leave it at that," Gu Shanhai wasn’t really keen on staying in Three-Life Town. If there weren’t an Air Wall, he wouldn’t even consider doing the quest, but instead heading straight to Xuanwei Sect to wreak havoc.

Back then, they forced him to flee; if he didn’t get back at them now, wouldn’t his return be in vain? As a player from the Evil Path who sought vengeance at the drop of a hat, now was the time to let them understand real pain.

What good could Three-Life Town offer, it’s just a small town, after all.

"Have you guys noticed this town is called Qingxian Town instead of Three-Life Town?" White Cloud suddenly pointed out.

"???" Heavenly Immortal drunkenly said, bewildered, "What’s Qingxian Town?"

Gu Shanhai recalled for a moment, his memory started to backtrack, and soon a multitude of details were extracted.

"It is called Qingxian Town. Some passersby mentioned it before, and some store signs also had a small row of remarks written on them," Gu Shanhai said.

"Ah, you already knew, why didn’t you say anything..." Heavenly Immortal drunkenly was somewhat speechless, but then it dawned on him that the other person was a top-tier player.

"I’m not a puzzle-solving player. Everything just now I simply pushed to the back of my mind," Gu Shanhai really couldn’t be bothered with puzzles, just blast through and run away if that fails. Besides, he had the Magnetic Field Sky Blade in hand, and he was feeling quite inflated, just looking for someone to sacrifice it on.

"So, if we find out the problem between Qingxian Town and Three-Life Town, we’ll likely be able to activate the main quest," White Cloud carelessly ignored Gu Shanhai’s words and further supplemented.

For the players, the fear wasn’t the game’s difficulty but the lack of objectives. Having a main quest meant having a targeted goal, which would make subsequent progress much easier.

Whether genuinely solving puzzles or opting for brute force, at least they didn’t have to worry about blowing up the main quest.

"Sounds good! So where should we start looking?" Gu Shanhai mentioned that he just wanted to coast through without using his brain.

He had tried Prophetic Divination in this world, only to discover a serious problem—that resulted in nothing but chaotic blankness.

There were three possibilities for this situation. The first was that this place was contaminated by some powerful force; the second possibility was that this world had fallen into a massacre that threw the divine secrets into chaos.

Of course, the third and most likely possibility was that it was a combination of both, causing the failure of Prophetic Divination.

Gu Shanhai could also force Prophetic Divination by sacrificing his lifespan, but that would result in low accuracy and potential unnecessary trouble. Prophetic Divination reveals information, which unavoidably involves some prying. Given that this world had similar spells, if it was detected, that would just be courting trouble.

For just an intermediate area’s task, he was not going to sacrifice his lifespan for no good reason, unless something truly captivated his heart.

"We’ll split up and walk around the area first," White Cloud could only arrange it this way as she was not a genuine puzzle-solving player. Such players are not the best and would switch systems if not for the grand grace of the Dashu Dynasty; otherwise, she wouldn’t be filling in here, usually just recklessly cooperating with Heavenly Immortal.

"Split up? That’s not great, I’ve only got one head, you guys have two, it’s quite hard to split," Gu Shanhai found it a bit awkward.

"What bizarre skill did you learn that you can actually take off your head!" Heavenly Immortal drunkenly was somewhat shocked; he had heard of the Flying Head Monster, but that thing only had a head and no body.

"Oh, it’s a job ability," saying that, Gu Shanhai took off his own head.

The scene was slightly horrifying, causing the pair to look slightly off, but luckily Gu Shanhai reattached it.

The pair seemed hesitant; they really wanted to ask what kind of job allowed removing heads, and whether it could also dig out hearts and lungs next.

It was fortunate they didn’t ask, because if they dared, Gu Shanhai would have dared to dig.

"Just keep your head to yourself; don’t start swinging it around like a Meteor Hammer," Heavenly Immortal drunkenly wearily reminded, realizing that he couldn’t keep up with the other’s thought process and thus, he wouldn’t follow.

"His~ that idea is kinda useful, I should find a skill that lets my spine grow next time, then I can just sweep the horizon with my head as a Meteor Hammer," Gu Shanhai mentioned that he hadn’t thought of such a great idea before.

Heavenly Immortal drunkenly hoped that next time he wouldn’t be matched with Gu Shanhai again; he didn’t want to witness that scene, as it could easily twist the entire team’s style.

Who in their right mind uses their head as a Meteor Hammer? Just use proper equipment; playing fancy tricks too much might eventually lead to disaster.

Players on the Evil Path always had this problem; after all, "The First Epoch" was not one of those ordinary games, the intelligence of NPCs and enemies was as good as real people in Heavenly Immortal drunkenly’s eyes.
