Chapter 211: Chapter 210: Real-life Task (Seeking Subscriptions)

[Task trigger condition completed]

[Task Type: Reality Task/Instant Task]

[Task Name: Shadow on the Back]

[Task Goal: Investigate the mysterious events in Building 7, 0/3]

[Task Reward 1: Player experience]

[Task Reward 2: Game Currency 100]

[Task Reward 3: Draw Reward (level restricted, up to Rare)]

[Punishment Reward: None]

The long-awaited [Task Prompt] finally triggered, it seemed that a certain conflict with the Mysterious Species must occur. Simple words couldn’t trigger the [Task], could they?

Just entering the elevator, they were intimidated by the opponent; Uncle Zhao was scared half to death, while the three [Players] were not surprised.

Since the [Task] had begun, they would focus on it.

"It only caused a power outage in this building and didn’t make any substantial attack on us." Li Changhe looked at the dim corridor on the eighth floor; all the corridor lights had gone out.

The Black Hawk, currently conducting aerial surveillance outside, also saw the darkness inside Building 7.

Did they cut off the power supply of this building?

"A reality task, huh? We can run if we can’t beat it. Not much danger." Mr. Bai touched his belly and took out a handful of snacks from his [Backpack] to eat. His ability allowed him to store heat and fat quickly, which he could consume during battle.

The advantage of a reality task was the absence of a closed instance space. As long as the three of them ran out of Building 7, the ghost wouldn’t usually chase them out.

The downside was that they couldn’t hide any combat fluctuations from the [Players] without the [Evolution Game] creating the space.

Moreover, it was only five kilometers away from the [Great Wall] Yanyun Division. There might be [Great Wall Players] passing nearby. It would be awkward, and they weren’t sure if the identity of the [Great Wall] Hidden Pile would be enough.

"Did you bring the [Spatial Disruption Array]? " asked Li Changhe.

He planned to use the [Instant Space Array] to hide the combat fluctuations; otherwise, too many [Skills] couldn’t be used. The [Breath of Thunder] special effect was too conspicuous, and the mechanical bow was too powerful. Even without using the [Hundred-Headed Shooter] enhancement, it could still be detected.

"No... I need it to hide Little Black’s aura." Mr. Bai spread his hands.

As a Fantasy Species, Little Black had a hard time controlling his breath when injured. He got hurt during a [Task] some time ago, and he’s now recuperating at a pet hospital, so they had to use the [Instant Space Array] to hide his breath.

In comparison, that was the highest priority issue.

"Then there’s nothing to do. Don’t use your skills, both of you. Li, just swing your [Boss Lead] around, no need to use the Fake Thunder Light Sword." He Feng looked at the dim corridor.

There were actually several households remaining in this building, and due to the sudden power outage, there was some turmoil.

"Leave it to Bai. Let’s move on." Li Changhe looked at the footprints on the elevator ceiling, shaking his head, "I guess it’s not just one Mysterious Species."

"Split up and call for reinforcements if necessary. The good thing about reality tasks is that you can use the [forum] and [friends] freely." He Feng responded.

It took a long time for Uncle Zhao to regain his senses; he finally realized that the three of them had some special abilities, which, in turn, provoked the ’dirty things’ to attack.

"Uncle Zhao, stick with me. You should be familiar with the residents here, right?" Mr. Bai handed Uncle Zhao a piece of chocolate to calm him down: "Just cooperate with me to hypnotize the residents. Don’t worry, take it easy!"

"Where does Zhao Jiu live? Go there and gather."

"12th floor, Room 1204." Uncle Zhao didn’t dare to doubt anything now, answering quickly.

He originally thought they would be some wandering monks or priests, but it turned out they were even more mysterious.

Uncle Zhao was somewhat afraid, and he didn’t know what Li Changhe and the others were talking about in regards to the [Task]. It felt like he had come into contact with a secret of this world.

But he was very rational. Years of hustling in society had taught him not to dwell too much on things that were beyond common sense; currently, he only wanted to borrow the strength of Li Changhe and the others to protect his niece’s safety.

Li Changhe and He Feng each took separate paths. He Feng turned around to crawl back into the elevator shaft.

Li Changhe, on the other hand, ran into the stairwell.

"Don’t just stand there, let’s get this sorted out, and then we’ll go upstairs together." Mr. Bai, who was also frightened, patted Uncle Zhao, who was still stunned.

Mr. Bai and Uncle Zhao were here to pacify and hypnotize the residents on this floor to prevent the situation from getting worse. It would be bad if they accidentally noticed Li Changhe and the others’ movements.

Li Changhe and He Feng separated to be more efficient in arranging the task targets in the shortest possible time.

Since there was something inside the elevator shaft, He Feng started from there. As a [Player], he was capable of climbing the elevator shaft.

Li Changhe, on the other hand, ran towards the 12th floor through the stairs. Without any unexpected situations, there would be something waiting for him there too.

The three of them just needed to regroup at the end.

However, things were not as simple as they thought. After entering the elevator shaft, He Feng hadn’t even steadied himself, when the traction rope strangely began to rotate. Despite the power outage, the elevator beneath his feet suddenly started to rise.

At the same time, He Feng sensed a figure appearing behind him. The smell of blood was overwhelming, and it seemed like something was whispering in his ear.

The reason why supernatural instances were resisted by [Players] was due to their unique abilities.

[Players] categorized these non-human beings into four levels.

From high to low, they were Class A, Class B, Level C, and Level D.

This classification was based on the level of danger they posed.

For example, Class B posed a danger to the city, Level C to groups, and Level D to individuals. Class A was considered to be beyond Class B.

For example, during Li Changhe’s first [task], he encountered the man in the painting. Although the man had formidable combat abilities, he could only be categorized as Level D because he posed little harm. He could only attack one person at a time. Although he could potentially kill a [Player] with a single punch, he could only do so one by one, which severely limited his abilities and made him only a Level D threat.

In fact, Yang Dong said that if the man in the painting came out, it would be difficult for him to deal with him too. In other words, the man in the painting’s attributes were equivalent to a [Player] at level 10.

If that man in the painting did not have so many restrictions, his strength would rank him as Level C.

The Tingdaros Hound had similar restrictions - it would only actively attack those who were cursed.

If there were outsiders interfering, it might bite and kill them as well. Because of that, despite being one of the top Fantasy Species capable of biting Hailing Mountain expert until he cursed in pain, it was only classified as Level C.

The reason why Yun Ting sensed little danger was that the opponent had many limitations. It didn’t mean that the opponent was weak.

He Feng instructed his two companions in the [Friends] chat not to take their opponent lightly.

He didn’t look back, but instead instantly jumped up, grabbed the climbing ladder of the elevator shaft, and quickly climbed upward.

An ancient proverb stated, "Every mortal has two Yang Lamps on their shoulders. Protected by the Yang Lamps, spirits cannot invade. If you look back at midnight, the lamps may extinguish, and when the Yang Lamps die, life is hard to find."

When He Feng saw the flames appearing above his head and on his shoulders, he knew that he couldn’t resist the opponent directly behind him. As he turned around, he encountered it.

But the elevator was rising, and though He Feng’s attributes were high, he could only climb slightly quicker than the ascending elevator. He didn’t have time to open the elevator door and escape outside.

"Damn it, I don’t have any emergency sugar syrup!" He Feng’s angry roar echoed within the elevator shaft.

"Goudan, switch and help me open the top floor’s elevator door!"

"Can’t make it. Can’t move a muscle." Li Changhe responded between gasps on the eleventh floor, "I feel like I have a 500-kilo fat guy on my back!"
