Chapter 290: Chapter 10: Mysterious Island Task Begins

After the final exams, the students finally welcomed their long-awaited holiday.

The senior high school students began their respective tutoring plans. Their last semester of high school was just around the corner, leaving no time for leisure.

As for Li Changhe, he found himself in a mixed state of joy and worry. He was happy because he was hugging Yanyun; but what worried him was that Yanyun was biting his shoulder.

"... do all [Holder]’s have such a strong bite?" Li Changhe patted the girl’s back and reminded her, "You’ve already bitten through my 11-points [Bronze Skin Iron Bone]. I always thought you were craving my body figuratively, but do you actually want to eat me? If so, remember to season with cumin."

"Are you hiding something from me?" the girl asked with a muffled voice, not lifting her head.

"Nope, we are just looking for and completing [Tasks] as usual," Li Changhe cursed Luo Kai, the useless guy, in his heart. Was their secret exposed already?

This wasn’t really [Great Wall]’s fault; the girl was just too sensitive. She sensed something amiss from Li Changhe’s recent behavior.

As soon as the exam ended today, Xiao Nan had to leave. Naturally, Li Changhe had to see her off, so Luo Kai quietly mobilized nearby [Great Wall] members.

After all, Li Changhe’s current identity was that of a ’Mountain and Sea Alliance’ [Player], not a [Great Wall] ’Hidden Pile’. If discovered, it’d cause unnecessary trouble. It wouldn’t be good if his identity was exposed.

Just one suspicious move made the girl instantly on guard.

"It’s no big deal. Box-He just kept discussing with me how great the Great Tang brothel is, planning to check it out once the task begins. But am I that type of person? Absolutely not the same as those playboys." Li Changhe thought for a moment and decided to sell Box-He out.

Far away, someone disguised as a sightseer froze and cursed quietly. He had been waiting in the cold for them to finish flirting, and now they were dragging him into it too? Hurry up and send her away; I’m waiting for you to start the task!

The girl looked at Li Changhe with flickering eyes, as she pondered and calculated the details of the past few days, trying to find clues.

Finally, she spoke after a moment of silence, "Your life is not just your own."

"Of course, I know," Li Changhe replied with a smile, "Xiao’s flag is already on my forehead."

The girl remained silent and hugged Li Changhe tightly.

"My authority is high, so I can take you away directly. They can’t..." The girl didn’t finish her sentence.

"Don’t worry. I swear, I haven’t broken my promise, right?" Li Changhe lowered his head and covered the girl’s lips with his own.

The sudden move made the girl’s body tense up for a moment before softening slowly. Li Changhe didn’t move away until he tasted the metallic flavor of blood between their lips, revealing a toothy grin.

"You cheated..." the girl mumbled.

Li Changhe gently pressed on the girl’s right shoulder, the spot where she was once injured. Back then, he wasn’t even a player. But now... a trace of gloom flashed in Li Changhe’s eyes.

...

In the gradually darkening night, the black car slowly drove away. Li Changhe’s eyes flickered, watching the girl he loved inside the car. To him, this was for the best. He had never forgotten the vow he made in the sixth card.

Xiao Nan would now join Chen Yu and others for training at the headquarters, so her safety wouldn’t be an issue.

[Great Wall] was right; if anything happened to Li Changhe and Yanyun was still in Hua Country, big trouble would ensue. Moreover, the other side also had [Holders], which would greatly increase the risk. It was even more crucial not to let Yanyun stay in Hua Country.

As the car vanished from sight, Li Changhe complained to a nearby vendor, "Look at what you [Great Wall] guys have done! In the end, I had to sacrifice my good looks! Look at the lips she bit through!" He pointed at his own broken lips.

"Stop pretending, you’re grinning from ear to ear!" the vendor, who was actually Luo Kai in disguise, stayed silent for a while before feeling the need to retort, "If it weren’t for you wanting to flirt, would I need to move the nearby [Great Wall]? It’s your own fault!"

"Heh, I’m working for you [Great Wall], and I can’t even crave my own girlfriend? City management officer, over here! He’s selling illegally!" Li Changhe snorted and called out to a patrolling city management team in the distance.

The city management officer charged towards Luo Kai like a wild horse: "How many times have I told you, no setting up stalls here!"

"Fuck, how shameless can you be! Destroying the bridge after crossing it?" Luo Kai cursed angrily, packed up his stall, and took off running.

"Forget it, Li. Mr. Xiao is gone, and you won’t be able to eat soft rice anymore. She even left me in charge of watching you in the [Friends]. Her tone was a bit domineering, but considering she’s my sister, I won’t bother with her." He Feng, who had been waiting at a distance, approached.

"You should know your place. It’s useless for you to complain anyway." Li Changhe responded.

He Feng thought about it and felt like he had a point. He then looked at Luo Kai being chased by the city management officer and couldn’t help but frown: "Can the city management really catch up with a [Player]?"

"Are you joking with the top combat power of Hua Country? He’ll chase and fine the Divine Spirit Species just the same." Li Changhe teased while taking out two black lighters from his hand. He handed one to He Feng and said, "This is the [Task Item] sent by Moon God. We just need two more people. Then the number will be full."

[Nuclear Lighter]

[Type: Daily Use Item/Task Item]

[Quality: Fine]

[Effect: A lighter that never runs out of fuel]

[Note: ’Mysterious Island’ storyline task item]

[Note: Its flame always shines bright, and the fuel is forever sufficient!]

He Feng looked at the effect and frowned, "This thing seems like it needs to be decrypted. No wonder you asked me to come along. You’re not being a good friend. Next time you need my help, remember to bring me a [Task Item] from the Women’s Kingdom storyline."

"You’ll have to drink the water of the Mother and Child River first, and have your son call me dad. Didn’t you come here willingly? I was going to ask the Earth Knight to help." Li Changhe snarked: "Are your injuries almost healed?"

He Feng nodded, removed the bandage from his forehead, and put the crutch into his [Backpack]: "It’s healed, but I still have to put on appearances during the exams. If I recover too fast, won’t people suspect something?"

"Let’s get ready to start the [Task]. Moon God said this [Task] would be troublesome, but the rewards would be great." Li Changhe weighed the [Nuclear Lighter] and said: "I think we should prepare more food and water first. ’Mysterious Island’ doesn’t sound like a place where we can find a restaurant."

Once the two were ready, they returned to Mr. Bai’s pet shop, hid in the [Instant Space Array], changed into their [Equipment], and prepared to start the [Task].

Both Mr. Bai and Xiang Wu were here, holding various medicines in their hands, ready to pour them down their throats as soon as they came out.

This was an old routine, a precautionary measure in case they got hurt or sick during the task. Unfortunately, [General Mountain] didn’t have enough money, or else they could’ve saved up 10,000 game coins to buy an [Intermediate Recovery Pod] and had no worries.

Bai Luohe was nowhere to be seen, reportedly working on some herbal seeds. Wang Er was still... having dinner with the teachers. He was a teacher, after all.

"Well then, I wish you a good journey. If you see any high-quality soil, be sure to bring some back. My sister’s medical research is missing a suitable planting area." Mr. Bai reminded.

"Also, don’t die." Xiang Wu grinned. If these two died, [General Mountain] would be over.

The two, sitting in their chairs, made an ’OK’ gesture and simultaneously lit the lighter.

Starting the [Mysterious Island Task].

With a flash in front of Li Changhe’s eyes, he found himself sitting in an airplane seat... And judging from the violent shaking and the screams of the passengers.

It was a plane that was plunging!

"Huh, Moon God. We’ve got a score to settle now!"

Boom!
