Chapter 680: Chapter 352: 12 High-Star Tasks

At the reception of Sword City’s Adventurer’s Guild, a group of adventurers were currently looking shocked as highly dangerous tasks were being accepted one after another.

’Exterminate the Giant Ape group in the cave on the northwest side of the Beast Forest’ 6.5 stars

’Eliminate the White River Earth Dragon’ 6 stars

’Wipe out the Necromancer’ 6 stars

’Eradicate the Stonewood Three-Headed Dragon’ 7 stars

...

One dangerous task after another was being accepted by someone, and under the receptionist’s repeated questioning, the tasks were confirmed.

"Insane, truly insane," one adventurer unconsciously dropped the wine glass in his hand, his face full of horror.

A Bronze Level team had accepted many high-level dangerous tasks.

Actually, this had happened before. Some adventurers, in order to pursue fame and fortune as soon as possible, would accept dangerous tasks that they shouldn’t. Of course, in many cases, they would die during the task, and even if they survived by luck, they would lose all their confidence and leave the adventurers’ ranks for good.

But... this time the team that did this wasn’t any rookie team that thinks too highly of themselves.

That was ’Dawn’s Hammer’, a team that had once reached Silver Level.

Although the team disbanded, and core teammates either died or dispersed...

Wang He, as a veteran, should have been clear about the consequences of doing this. Tasks cannot be accepted for free, and many tasks, if not completed or failed, will affect the team’s rating. To do this just to attract attention, the price was too big.

So many tasks, and all of them high-star tasks, were enough to strip ’Dawn’s Hammer’ of its level.

"Have you lost your mind, Wang He? Your Bronze Level team dares to accept a 7-star task!" The one-eyed burly man had a good relationship with Wang He, and at this moment, he yelled, "That’s the Three-Headed Dragon that even Gold Level teams have failed at, and you dare accept it?"

Wang He’s face was pale, and under the guidance of the girl beside him, he accepted another mission.

Of course, he knew the dangers of these missions. The Giant Wolf was just a 3-star mission and almost wiped out the whole team.

It was because of attempting a 4.5-star mission that Night’s Dawn lost its primary combatants, and the whole team disbanded.

Not to mention 4 stars, even Bronze Level teams need to be cautious when facing a 3-star mission. Wang He wouldn’t dare to look at high-star tasks normally.

But now, with the girl beside him calculating and planning on a piece of paper, Wang He accepted one dangerous task after another under her guidance.

These tasks had actually been hanging for a long time, but since they were exceptionally dangerous tasks. Coupled with the collective departure of the elves, many teams were affected, and even high-level adventurers didn’t dare to try them easily.

"Insane, really insane," Wang He hadn’t gone insane, but he also muttered to himself in a low voice, "I have a feeling..."

What the outsiders didn’t know was that the girl beside him was planning based on the locations of these tasks.

They didn’t consider the dangers they would face at all, but calculated the fastest distance for the route.

Wang He had more or less guessed the other party’s intentions at first – He Qi, Li Ba, and others didn’t want to expose their identity, but they were in urgent need of funds.

As an adventurer, the quickest way to make money was to complete tasks and get rewards from the Guild.

So, Wang He guessed at the beginning that the other party would accept tasks under the name of ’Dawn’s Hammer’.

’Dawn’s Hammer completed tasks and received ratings.’

The other party would get the reward, saving a lot of trouble.

Although this went against the Guild’s rules, the Guild would often turn a blind eye. After all, there were benefits to completing tasks.

Some adventurers would invite higher-level adventurers they were friends with to help them complete tasks and increase their team level.

This was an open secret. After all, there was no way to prevent it. The most the Guild could do was to suppress the level upgrade of the other party during the rating to prevent the rise of mediocre teams to the higher ranks.

In Li Changhe’s words, this was a stand-in.

In the past when he worked, some colleagues had temporary things to do, but they couldn’t take leave, or else their wages would be deducted. So they secretly asked someone to substitute for them to guarantee their attendance.

Similarly, Li Changhe and the others didn’t have enough time as adventurers to form a team. So they simply used ’Dawn’s Hammer’ team identity to accept tasks.

What they had to do was to quickly solve those tasks.

After all, with the presence of three LV10 players, they had enough confidence.

As for Chen Yu, he stayed in the Guild to accompany Xiao Ye, while calculating the location of each task, remotely directing the three’s route of action, and striving to maximize the speed of ending the battle.

Li Changhe and the others had already left Sword City early.

"Alright, let’s just accept these tasks for now," Chen Yu said to Wang He after finishing his calculations, "Next, we just need to wait for them to come back and hand in the tasks. Get them some breakfast."

"Finish and come... back?" Wang He was horrified, "Do they not need a few months to complete these tasks?"

A total of twelve tasks! Twelve high-star tasks!

For other adventurers, before each task, a proper task plan should be made, and even after the task was completed, some time should be taken for recuperation.

Wouldn’t these twelve tasks take them until next year to complete?

"Don’t worry, they don’t like to dawdle," Chen Yu replied with a smile, even though her face was no longer stunning after the disguise, her words were still convincing.

"If they’re fast, they should have completed one by now."

On the other side, Li Changhe raised his sword and chopped off the last giant ape’s head.

Behind him, there were dead giant humanoid corpses lying everywhere, covered in hair.

These were the giant apes that occupied the mountains on the northwest side of the Beast Forest. They were highly intelligent and used simple tools and traps.

They often attacked passing merchant convoys and travelers, and even attacked nearby villages, arming themselves with the victims’ equipment. And the victims, in turn, became their food.

The leader was a giant monkey in full armor.

It was said to have a strength comparable to that of a Gold Level warrior, and with the elusive giant apes, the danger level was very high.

The Guild had hunted them several times but were evaded by them. Even high-level adventurers had died at the hands of the leader giant ape.

But now, that leader giant ape had been nailed to the mountain wall with an arrow through its chest, its head chopped off.

Those fearsome giant apes all lay on the ground, their left ears cut off.

And the person responsible was none other than Li Changhe.

Facing Li Changhe who had the Hawk Eye Magic Eye, the giant apes’ traps and disguises were useless.

Li Changhe directly took out his bow and held his sword, rushing into the giant ape lair and killing all the giant apes.

After putting on the Mountain Pattern Armor, the opponent couldn’t even break through Li Changhe’s defense.

Li Changhe didn’t hold back at all, especially the leader giant ape, which he straightforwardly shot an arrow through its chest.

After all, as a person of Hua Country, when you see a monkey wielding a big iron rod charging at you, your heart skips a beat.

Afterward, Li Changhe took out his mountain bike and hummed the tune of the 1984 version of Journey to the West as he drove towards the_next task location.

His mobility was strong, and his task locations were relatively far apart.

That night, several terrifying monsters encountered an even more terrifying presence.
