Chapter 1008: Chapter 660 Task Begins

In the official arrangement, the three teammates for this mission have been confirmed.

Xiao Nan, Chen Yu, and Qiu Wentian.

From a battle power standpoint, all four of us are veterans above LV10, among whom Li Changhe, Xiao Nan, and Qiu Wentian are experts far surpassing players of the same level.

Though none of the three were on the Battle Power Rankings, they each had their reasons.

Li Changhe needs no introduction; after the disaster fog, he was acclaimed as the Crownless King of the Battle Power Rankings. Li himself guessed that if he agreed to be listed, he could probably rank in the top twenty.

Of course, it would actually be... higher. Because he had not yet unleashed his full strength.

Xiao Nan, being a Holder, has a divine power output that is not much less than Li Changhe’s, only choosing not to be on the rankings list to protect Holders of divinity.

As for Qiu Wentian, lsp... oh, lsp here means old murderers. Simply with her combat skills alone, she’s close to an Extraordinary Soldier. She also refused to be placed on the list. According to her, she wants to develop quietly and then make a big splash. Quite a case of chuunibyou.

But, as for developing... she might as well forget about it... cough.

Anyway, with these three people around, the mission was pretty much stable already.

Even if we encountered divine creatures, they’d have to kneel on the ground and sing "Conquer". A Crownless King, a Holder, and a Battle Power Rankings expert, unless there is excessive counterplay, we really don’t fear any God’s Chosen or divine creatures.

Even though Chen Yu’s combat power isn’t as good as the three on the frontline, her personal level and abilities make her very suitable to act as an auxiliary and team leader.

Naturally, Li Changhe wouldn’t spout phrases like ’advantage is mine’ that essentially jinx a sure win.

The mission item was a silk scroll. The text on it was written in Regular Script. It was an invitation letter from that city-state known as Xuan City.

It is said that those who possess this invitation can enter Xuan City.

It seems that Xuan City is indeed a sought-after destination by many.

According to information disclosed by the officials, more than seventy percent of Xuan City’s population is female, and it has always existed in the form of a city-state, even with its own formidable strength.

Without expanding its territory, it maneuvers among the surrounding major countries instead.

It’s a bit like the Women’s Country in "Journey to the West".

If this sort of mission is mentioned in the forums, it would probably attract many lsp—lone wolf—players who would pay a high price for the mission item.

Yep, lsp here is just what you’re thinking.

"If they’re all females... how do they reproduce? Don’t tell me there’s also a River of Daughters?" Li Changhe thought to himself, a River of Daughters would indeed be a useful thing.

Brother Ting, after all, has the form of an Assassin Heroic Spirit; if there’s an opportunity to poison in the forthcoming battlefield.

Normal poisons might raise alarm among players, but River of Daughters’ water would be hard to count as poison, right?

Then adding a bit of River of Daughters’ water... Li Changhe didn’t believe anyone could battle him while pregnant.

Of course, this plan was a bit nefarious.

With these thoughts in mind, Li Changhe left the base at General Mountain and returned to his family apartment at the Great Wall.

Planning to discuss the mission with Xiao Nan and Chen Yu was the benefit of knowing players offline; they could communicate face to face.

However, Xiao Nan unexpectedly circled around Li Changhe, and after unwrapping his scarf, she bit his neck again.

"...You’re pretty lustful, girl. It’s not even dark yet." Feeling the dampness on his neck, Li Changhe wrapped his arms around Xiao Nan’s slender waist and said, "Come on, let’s go inside. Let me see how I measure up against a Holder!"

Xiao Nan freed herself from Li Changhe’s arms and muttered, "Gotta leave a mark, I’ve been feeling like someone’s got their eye on you lately..."

She had a vague sense of unease, perhaps it was the large number of female players in this mission or the mission environment’s uniqueness that made her wary.

"Don’t let any scenario happen where the queen of the Women’s Country takes a fancy to you and makes you her consort or something," Xiao Nan pinched Li Changhe’s face.

"I’m no Tang Monk. And you’re not a monkey," Li Changhe chuckled and said, "Plus, all those years of watching palace dramas weren’t in vain. I should at least fight my way to becoming a queen! Eh... that doesn’t quite sound right."

Xiao Nan huffed softly, her delicate face drawing closer, and she bit Li Changhe’s lips once more.

The next day, fully prepared, the four of them triggered the mission at their respective bases.

Meanwhile, in the Extraordinary Association headquarters next door in Canghai City.

Qiu Wentian, dressed in black, a flask of wine tied at her waist, sat inside the Repair Cabin.

As the task was about to begin, she glanced at her bruised brother and sister disciples nearby and let out a soft hum.

However, she thought she might have been too rough, feeling a slight sense of guilt.

Soon, as the time for the task arrived, with a flash of white light before her eyes, Qiu Wentian entered the task world.

When the white light dissipated, Qiu Wentian steadied her legs and quickly scanned her surroundings to avoid the danger of stumbling into peril upon entering the instance.

After all, the Evolution Game could be quite treacherous, with players sometimes finding themselves being led to Caishikou for beheading upon entering an instance.

Therefore, to avoid such a predicament, players had to quickly assess their current environment upon entering the task.

However, Qiu Wentian found herself on a quiet mountain path, with dense jungle beside it.

Beside her were three teammates also on alert for their surroundings.

Qiu Wentian took a moment to appraise them; the sole male teammate was naturally Li Changhe.

He was clad in a beast hide coat and hat, with a longbow and a leather quiver on his back, looking every inch the archetypal hunter.

"Hey, Li, we meet again," Qiu Wentian greeted and noticed the long-haired girl next to Li Changhe.

The girl’s slender and graceful figure was wrapped in a black long coat, her beautiful hair tied into a neat ponytail, which accentuated her delicate and exquisitely pretty face, making her stunning and handsome.

She carried the Eight-direction, exuding the air of a wandering heroine.

Indeed, when a girl gets handsome, there’s nothing left for the men.

"That must be Li’s significant other, the official Holder, Laughing Gentleman," Qiu Wentian thought to herself and greeted Xiao Nan, "I’ve heard quite a bit about you; Li indeed has good taste."

"Thank you," Xiao Nan said, smiling back at Qiu Wentian.

It was her first time meeting Qiu Wentian too.

For some reason, she felt a strong affinity for this girl she had never met before.

And it was mutual for Qiu Wentian, who felt an inexplicable kinship with Xiao Nan.

However, happiness is always fleeting.

When Qiu Wentian saw Chen Yu, who greeted her, her body visibly stiffened.

Seeing Chen Yu in her pale, elegant clothing, Qiu Wentian’s face fell... then she gave a low greeting.

"Li, this young lady seems not to be very fond of me," Chen Yu mused, somewhat puzzled, asking in [Friends].

She wondered why Qiu Wentian seemed so amiable with Xiao Nan but had such a change of expression with her.

Li Changhe, as an onlooker, responded faintly, "It’s a matter of class."
