Chapter 682: Chapter 354: Guessing

Inside the Guild Hall of Sword City, the three weary people were eating breakfast from this world, something similar to toast. It wasn’t delicious, but for the exhausted trio, the taste was quite good.

Accompanied by Chen Yu’s homemade walnut soy milk, it made for a decent breakfast.

The task targets were particularly noteworthy for players like them who focused on combat.

The most dangerous of them was the three-headed dragon, which was thoroughly restrained by He Feng’s sequence. The remaining task targets were simply crushed by the players’ attributes.

They were tired from traveling.

Last night, the three had run hundreds of kilometers in the pitch-black forest. Even as players, they felt exhausted.

"I broke three motorcycles." Jiangshan stared at the dark circles around his eyes and said, "The fine quality tires were all crushed. In the end, I had to walk back on foot. I even had to carry someone. It was exhausting."

In this world, there were no asphalt roads, so Jiangshan had been thrown off the motorcycle several times. If a player with lower attributes had been in his place, they would have been out of action. In the end, when he was 20 kilometers away from Sword City, the last motorcycle was also scrapped. He had no choice but to carry the unconscious magician with him for 20 kilometers, and it exhausted him.

"Chen Yu, why did I have to deal with this trouble? Couldn’t you have helped me out?" Jiangshan complained to Chen Yu sitting next to him. "I had to carry someone while they were empty-handed."

His task was to capture someone alive, which indeed was more troublesome than what Li Changhe and the others had to do. After all, they only had to put the heads or ears of the monsters in their backpacks, while he had to drag a living person along.

"Alright, old Jiang." He Feng interjected. "My surfboard consumes energy or rune stones. I used up three rune stones, costing 600 coins. Look how dirty I am."

He was not wrong. He Feng’s clothing was torn, the surfboard was fast, but it had no defensive ability whatsoever. He moved quickly through the forest and was badly scratched. Later, he put on a set of armor, but it slowed him down a bit, costing him another 600 game coins.

"Huh, that’s all?" Li Changhe, who was drinking soy milk, snorted, implying that the other two were amateurs.

One was using a technological vehicle while the other one was using an Epic Level vehicle. Meanwhile, he had been pedaling a bicycle for hundreds of kilometers back and forth.

And yet, their return time was about the same. What did they have to complain about?

"You can’t even keep up with a bicycle!" Li Changhe expressed his contempt.

"What you just said made me hard, and my fists too." He Feng smacked his lips.

"Don’t get cocky." Jiangshan thought it was a matter of task planning, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so slow. Although he was not sure of Li Changhe’s identity, he had some suspicions. He thought that Li Changhe and Chen Yu were on good terms, so his tasks were relatively easier.

In fact, Li Changhe was the only player in the team with a Physique as his main attribute. He had plenty of physical strength, and it recovered quickly.

As for the fearsomeness of a player with a Physique as their main attribute, Chen Yu understood it to some extent. After all... she lived next door to the young girl. Ahem...

So, Li Changhe’s route was indeed longer. It could only be said that Li Changhe riding a bicycle was indeed faster than them.

Seeing the three of them bickering, Xiao Ye was somewhat surprised, while Chen Yu was already used to it.

Wang He and the others remained silent because they were still stunned by Li Changhe and his companions completing twelve high-star tasks in one night.

Not far from the Guild Reception, the receptionists of the Adventurer’s Guild were counting the task targets with a shocked expression.

"Three-headed dragon’s head, confirmed."

"Giant ape’s head and left ear, confirmed."

"Magician’s identity, confirmed."

...

As each high-star task was confirmed as completed, the receptionists’ expressions grew more complicated. The gazes they cast at Li Changhe and the others became more restrained.

In the end, even the director of Sword City’s guild was alarmed.

In the guild’s conference room.

"Twelve high-stars?" The director asked for the fourth time, and this was the fourth time he had received a positive answer.

It was an unprecedented event in his more than 20 years of work experience.

He had once been an adventurer, and even a Gold Level strongman. Later, as he grew old and weak with depleted energy, he retired to become a guild director.

He knew all too well how difficult those task targets were to deal with.

But now, he was being told that a bronze squad had completed twelve of them in one night!

Suppressing his trembling hands, the director asked shakily, "Did you find out their identities?"

"They’re three unregistered adventurers." One employee replied softly, "They saved Dawn’s Hammer from the Fierce Beasts Forest and then came to Sword City. They were said to be short of money, so they took the tasks on behalf of Dawn’s Hammer. You know, this kind of thing happens occasionally. We usually turn a blind eye. Who would have thought that they actually took... twelve at once? They wiped out all our high-level tasks."

"And then... they completed all of the tasks... in just one night!" The director muttered, "You couldn’t find out anything about their identities at all? The only ones who could do such a thing are those heroes above Platinum Level. Were there any that matched up?"

"After some investigation, we can confirm their classes. One is a ranger, one is a warrior, and one is a grand magician with space magic." The employee replied, "Their age, accent, and appearance are all very different from those of the heroes. Plus... why would the heroes gather together?"

This world was not entirely peaceful, and even the highest-level adventurers had their disputes and feuds. It was impossible for them to form large groups and come here for fun.

As for the ranger and warrior he mentioned, he naturally meant Li Changhe and He Feng. This information was likely obtained from Wang He.

The grand magician he was referring to was Jiangshan, which was likely based on the testimony of the captured magician.

Of course, this little misunderstanding was harmless, or rather, Li Changhe needed them to think so.

"What exactly is their identity? Could it have something to do with the elf incident?" The director wondered and then asked, "Do they have any requests?"

"No, it seems like they have some urgent matter. They just want us to hurry up and pay the rewards. The guild is currently transferring the funds since the amount is too large."

"How much is the total reward?" The director asked.

"If converted to Gold Essence, it would be 180 pieces."

"That’s too large a quantity." The director shook his head. "Even the Adventurer’s Guild can’t prepare so many in such a short time. Besides, we’re still organizing an investigation team."

"Exactly, they considered that too. So they said they’re always available to talk to you." The employee said.

"Then let’s talk to them first. It couldn’t be better if such powerful beings are willing to reason." The director responded. "Please treat them well."
