Chapter 298: Chapter 288: 【The Conspiracy Known in Advance】

Due to Taibai City being perennially shrouded in night and dusk, it is known among players as "the City of Dusk and Starry Night." The closer it is to the Mountain Gate of the Complete Heaven Sect, the closer the sky resembles nightfall, becoming the color of twilight just a little further away. This city is a must-visit for players who are fans of scenic views.

In about half a month, once players officially reach Level 10 and learn various Cultivation Techniques and Daoist Skills, wherever in Taibai City they look, even from the rooftops, they’ll likely see couples there.

Aren’t players supposed to be climbing all over the place?

Eventually, players no longer want to hop on the ground. They must either jump from rooftop to rooftop or fly through the skies.

Liang Yi opened his task panel. Just now, while discussing with his junior sister and An Mujing how to deal with the Devouring Spirit Sect, it seemed a new task was triggered.

"Ding! Congratulations on triggering the task [Pre-Knowledge of the Conspiracy]!"

[Task Hint: The Azure Dragon envoy of the Devouring Spirit Sect received a secret message from a spy within the Complete Heaven Sect, learning that Fang Zhi is about to set up an extremely complicated Array, which will leave him weakened once activated. Tian Anyu, the Sect Hierarch of the Devouring Spirit Sect, has ordered the Azure Dragon envoy and Fu Changxing to work together to inflict heavy damage on Fang Zhi, cutting off the Complete Heaven Sect’s ability to divine their movements. You have learned about this conspiracy in advance, please find a way to stop it.]

[Task Requirement: Protect Fang Zhi from being heavily injured, or directly thwart the conspiracy of the Devouring Spirit Sect and repel them.]

[Task Completion: 0%]

[Task Reward: Experience 350w, a comprehension of the Southern Dipper Nebula, Complete Heaven Sect’s favorability +300]

"Who would have thought they’d target Senior Fang—it’s audaciously heaven-defying." After reading the task description, Liang Yi was inwardly astonished. The Devouring Spirit Sect was indeed daring, making a move right at others’ headquarters.

"But that spy within the Complete Heaven Sect is somewhat concerning," Liang Yi pondered secretly. If the plan could be successfully implemented, then later on, finding this spy would not be much more difficult than eating or drinking.

"Senior brother, are all these Abnormal People heading to the north of the city?" Su Youyi observed the Abnormal People brushing past them and noticed they seemed to have the same destination.

Liang Yi neither agreed nor denied; it was too normal. The rewards he and Taibai Ge had offered for the tasks given to other players were quite generous. They constituted a rather significant adventure task, which also caused a small stir on the forums.

Now, judging by the time, it should be almost over.

By the time Liang Yi arrived at the north gate of the city, there were already quite a few Abnormal People waiting there—some to hand in their tasks, others trying their luck to trigger new tasks. The scene was somewhat crowded.

Nevertheless, plenty of Complete Heaven Sect guards maintained order nearby, so it did not seem too chaotic.

But this was precisely what Liang Yi wanted. Given the sheer number of players, their attention was better drawn to him, diverting their gaze from An Mujing’s departure.

"Hey, the Boss is here, Boss Liang is here!"

"Is that Su Youyi walking beside him? I’m so jealous!!"

"Deity-like beauty breeds divine romance, wuwu, give me two more pounds of lemons!"

"Could there really be anyone who doesn’t ship Liang Yi and Su Youyi? Impossible, right?"

"There’s even an orange cat in this game, for real?"

····

The very appearance of Liang Yi and Su Youyi caused a commotion among the players, who first noticed their golden names blazing above their heads, like sunlight breaking through the dark of night.

For a moment, all players who had taken up the task hastily presented their afternoon’s hard work and chose to submit their task on the panel.

"Is... is this heaven??"

The elderly orange cat stood on Liang Yi’s shoulder, its nose twitching as it smelled fish coming from all directions, its eyes filled with excitement.

Ah~ Heaven! This moment completes my cat life!

"Holy shit, the orange cat can talk! What happened to animals not becoming sentient until after the establishment of the country?"

"Are you dumb? Maybe it’s some kind of magical beast tamed by Boss Liang."

"Holy crap, is this orange cat a Young Master of the Demon Clan, with a golden name NPC just like Liang Yi and Su Youyi!?"

To the players’ surprise, a quick use of their Reconnaissance skill revealed the cat as a Level ??? golden name NPC, who also happens to be the mightily impressive Young Master of the Demon Clan.

Liang Yi casually executed a Daoist Skill, keeping all players three steps away, while their afternoon’s hard work slowly floated in the air.

It was then that the players heard the task completion notification, blissfully reaping a wave of Experience and spiritual coins as rewards. The items fished up were just ordinary fish props to the players. Submitting them for rewards was not a bit painful; instead, they made a huge profit.

Some players who had completed the task attempted to talk to Liang Yi or Su Youyi, or even the little orange cat rolling around joyously in the sky.

But they received no response.

Seeing this, players knew that this task likely had no follow-up, so they took a few pictures of Su Youyi and Liang Yi to use as ultra-clear wallpapers before deciding to leave.

Being able to do this task was like being possessed by the god of luck; players did not dare to ask for more. The pressing matter now was to continue taking tasks from the Complete Heaven Sect and level up to 10 as soon as possible to join Boss Liang’s Purple Cloud Sect directly.

With Boss Liang’s generosity of giving adventure tasks upon meeting, who could be afraid of running out of tasks?
