Chapter 87: The Passage to the Shadow World Opens!

Thinking of this, Li Cheng opened the mission panel. As a large-scale event, there were many missions prepared for the players, but each mission had specific conditions that needed to be triggered for the mission to appear. However, Li Cheng had already accepted all of them by default. Looking at the mission list, one mission after another appeared in front of him.

[Clear the Shadow Ghost Mastiff (D)]

[Help the Aborigines Collect the Phantom Fruit (D)]

[Find the Lost Pet (D)]

…

There were all kinds of missions, from D-class to S-class missions. Li Cheng looked at these low-level missions casually. It was not difficult for him at all. He then scrolled all the way to the bottom to look at the missions with the highest difficulty.

[Clear the Ghost Wolf Lair (S)]

[Clear the Ghost Tree Monster (S)]

…

[Investigate the Hidden Demon City (SSS)]

Li Cheng looked at a bunch of S-class missions. Basically, the objectives were to clear the nests of high-level monsters. The Ghost Wolf was a tier seven monster, while the Tree Monster and the Black Bear were tier eight monsters. Moreover, their levels were not low either, as the lowest of them were at least level 50.

Based on the current level of the players, they definitely did not have the strength to go against them. However, to Li Cheng, these monsters were just walking experience points.

The path he set to clear the monsters was also based on the current missions. Li Cheng did not care about the rest. Instead, he focused on the last mission.

[Investigate the Hidden Demon City]

[Mission description: In a certain corner of the Shadow World, there are frequent occurrences of ghosts disappearing. The investigation team sent by the Shining Fortress has also disappeared. There must be something hidden there. The Shadow Dragon invites you to investigate this matter.]

[Mission Nature: hidden]

[Mission Difficulty: 500 million]

[Mission content: find the hidden demon dungeon]

[Quest reward: 40,000,000 gold coins, 200,000,000 shadow points]

The quest reward of 200,000,000 shadow points could be said to be very generous. However, the quest difficulty was 500,000,000, and the final location was the demon dungeon which overlapped with Profound Puppet 007’s quest. It seemed that these two quests could be completed at the same time.

Closing the quest panel, Li Cheng was ready to continue farming monsters. As long as it was an SS-rank quest, it had value in his eyes. Thinking of this, he waved his hand and said, “Go all out to farm monsters!”

As soon as he said that, the female heroes entered battle mode. Pearl’s army of 13 million also got into their positions.

After getting used to it, it could be said that Pearl was very good at commanding this 13-million-strong army. The front and back rows worked closely together, and they even intersected with the enemy’s troops.

The casualties of the troops, with the help of Asilia’s priest group, were pitifully few. Their troops were rapidly reaping the lives of the monsters one by one. They were unstoppable!

Time flew by quickly. During this time, Li Cheng’s troops did not stop killing monsters. With a loud bang, a huge ghostly beast fell to the ground with a plop, sending dust flying in the air.

As the last monster in the area fell, Li Cheng ordered his troops to continue moving forward. The battle continued for more than an hour and all of his troops’ experience points were maxed out.

The most terrifying were the Frost Dragons. As max-level champions, it was no joke. These 7,000 Frost Dragons could easily kill all the Frost Marksmen and Heavenly Knights with their current strength.

Li Cheng’s shadow points had also reached 1.7 trillion. He was still some distance away from being able to purchase Lillian’s equipment set, but the overall growth rate was still pretty good.

Because Lillian’s set needed to be purchased in one go, the shadow points needed to do that was a total of five trillion, but he was not in a hurry. He opened the shop and started to purchase all kinds of items from the bottom up.

“Ding, dong, you’ve consumed one billion eight hundred million shadow points and purchased thirty million Shadow Branches!

“Ding, dong, you’ve consumed thirty billion shadow points and purchased fifty thousand large Shadow Stones!

“Ding, dong, you’ve consumed forty-eight billion shadow points and purchased eight hundred thousand Shadow Stones!

“Ding, dong…”

Previously, Li Cheng’s title had been upgraded to a Mythical-grade title. Hence, he received a 40% discount from all shops which could be said to be very powerful.

Now, after Li Cheng’s operation, there were only a few items left in the entire shop—the lowest-level troops, materials, and consumables. The shop had a few hundred trillion items in stock, and Li Cheng stopped clearing it out after buying tens of millions of items. After all, he still needed to leave some items for the others.

Other than these items, the other items had a ‘sold out’ sign over them. In other words, other than the most trashy items, there was nothing else the other players could exchange for.

After purchasing the items, Li Cheng nodded his head in satisfaction and took a look at the time. There were still a few minutes left before the rest of the players could enter the Shadow World. He was looking forward to seeing the expressions on the players’ faces when they entered.

Once they entered, he would have cannon fodder. The other time-consuming missions would also be easily completed. Thinking of this, Li Cheng led his troops to the entrance of the players.

…

At noon, the system’s voice rang in the ears of the players.

“World announcement. The passage to the Shadow World has officially opened. All players can enter the Shadow World through a special NPC in their territory and exchange for items!

“Hint. There are kind and neutral creatures in the Shadow World. Attacking them will anger the Shadow Dragon. Please, proceed with caution!”

As the system’s rumbling voice fell, the players were also rubbing their hands together. They could not wait any longer. They, too, knew the importance of seizing the initiative.

As the system’s voice fell, they hurriedly engaged in a conversation with the NPCs and entered the Shadow World.

When they arrived at the Shadow World, everyone’s first reaction was that they were not used to the visual effects here.

“F*ck, what is this place? Why is it so dark?”

“F*ck, it’s my newly dyed hair. Why isn’t there any color?”

“Why does the Shadow World look so ugly? Everyone, is it because of the system’s settings?”

“Why’s the picture quality the same as my black-and-white television?”

“Still in a daze? Who cares about the quality of the picture? This is the first world event. Charge!”

“Let’s go! This is our chance to take off!”

“Haha, after I earn enough points and exchange for what I want, I can crush the people from other leagues once I get out!”

“Let’s go! Earn points, exchange for godly equipment, and crush the players from other leagues!”

“Eh, is there a bug in this event shop?”

At that moment, some players noticed something unusual, and everyone looked sideways!
