Chapter 127: Instance Dungeon Crystals

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

William had assigned him the Devil’s Den mission to lure out the crystals from the misty valley.

Even though most of the players had reached level 10, no enemy tribes, wild beasts or low-level magical beasts remained in the surrounding areas. No battle missions were available for assigning.

The players could only construct buildings, harvest medicinal herbs and mine with the Orcs…

Without a question, it was a bitter situation for the players.

A player could still bear constructing until they reached level 10. But after becoming a professional, it became atrocious work to them.

The players complained about the lack of battle missions in the City of Dawn on the forum. The surrounding forests were too safe. Some battle-hungry players even thought of defecting.

Few of them even entered the plains and challenged the ***. They also uploaded videos and screenshots to the forum. If not for this, many players would have defected.

But William wanted to tell them that he had no other choices. He had eliminated all these surrounding threats in order to upgrade his level…

The players were unable to explore deep into the western and eastern regions as even the Dawn army was unprepared to enter these areas…

There was a legendary pale Orc in the eastern region. He commanded a tribe consisting of tens of thousands of Orcs.

In the snowy mountains further away, many tribes still existed. Even though the Fire Dragon was slain, the Dragon Speakers had not perished. If they joined hands with the tribal chiefs, they could create a lot of trouble.

Time elapsed.

It was two days before Changli Jiuge returned in a weathered state.

He did not dare to divulge the hidden mission to his teammates in the club. No matter how he explained, he was going to receive complaints from them.

There was too much competition in the club, and lots of instances of backstabbing also took place. It was even more dangerous for him, especially as Changli Jiuge was a novice who had not competed in the tournament.

The veteran players would be curious about how he fawned on the Lord of the City of Dawn.

They would be even more curious about how Changli Jiuge obtained the mission.

Then their minds will ask the question, why weren’t they the ones to receive such a mission.

If only other players did not know about Changli Jiuge’s mission, it would be for the best. Once it was completed, nobody would ask about it. It did not matter even if Changli Jiuge talked about it later.

If the mission failed, nobody would know about it unless the Lord divulged it.

Changli Jiuge spent 18,000 silver coins to purchase devalued gold coins. With the money that he had earned, he bought a silver quality weapon and some equipment before setting off.

He staked his entire fortune on this mission! He was going for all.

He arrived at the location indicated on the map.

The Devil’s Den had vanished. What was left was a ravaged valley with a lot of large rocks that looked like they were created by an internal explosion.

Changli Jiuge took a deep breath and went into the valley. He discovered dilapidated graves that had white bones sticking out. It was a terrifying sight.

“Will there be any ghosts?” Changli Jiuge was brave but the virtual games were very good in their visuals.

The graphics were highly realistic!

It was so good that it appeared real. Otherwise, why would gamers be addicted to RA18 virtual games? That was the reason for the awful stench in the game capsule even if the capsule’s interior was covered with plastic bags.

Changli Jiuge swallowed hard and braced himself as he explored tens of rounds inside. He did not discover anything unusual and he was not attacked.

With that…

The hidden mission was completed.

“Gosh, it’s completed. Just like that. Shouldn’t I be fighting with some undead? I’m a professional after all.” Changli Jiuge was befuddled. He had wasted money buying the silver quality weapon.

In the conference hall.

“My Lord, I’ve returned.” Changli Jiuge had received a mission from the Lord, so he was given entry.

William nodded and looked curiously at Changli Jiuge. He did not expect Changli Jiuge to return alive… Oh, he did not expect Changli Jiuge to complete the mission because William did not know if there were any dark creatures in the Devil’s Den.

Changli Jiuge knelt in reverence on the ground as he said, “My Lord, my mission is accomplished. I didn’t discover any dark creatures in the valley. I only found some rotten corpses.”

“Very good. You’re very brave to walk into the Devil’s Den. I admire warriors like yourself!”

“My Lord, you’ve given me too much praise. This is what a subordinate should do.”

“Excellent. Since the Devil’s Den’s had been fully exterminated and nothing new happened, I’m very much relieved. I won’t be stingy on the rewards. Take this as your reward and work harder.” William pondered for a while before giving him a thin scroll.

Ding dong.

[You had completed the mission “Exploration of the Devil’s Den”]

[Because of your loyalty and decisiveness and your willingness to brave the dangers to complete William Blackleaf’s mission, he is very much in favor of you. William is hoping that you can become a warrior and a representative of the chosen ones.]

[Reward: Epic level battle energy inheritance of “Flaming soldier” (Incomplete)]

“This… this…” Changli Jiuge was speechless. Had he obtained the hidden occupation?

Though the inheritance was an incomplete version, Changli Jiuge had struck the jackpot.

“My luck has only 3 points…”

This reward boosted Changli Jiuge’s chance of obtaining the legendary “High-quality blood of a Fire Dragon’s heart.”

William looked at the befuddled Changli Jiuge and smiled. “You may leave now. It’s very good that the chosen ones have the revival ability.

“But I know that most of them are not righteous. I favor you. Don’t disappoint me.”

“Yes, my Lord.” Changli Jiuge knelt down on one knee once again.

He had understood that the Lord of the City of Dawn did not trust the players. But William was using him as an example. He was showing that as long as the players completed missions, they would be duly rewarded.

[Your affinity level with William Blackleaf increased by 3 points]

Changli Jiuge lowered his head as he left.

William’s smile vanished. It would be the last time he would assign such a simple mission.

This mission had achieved its purpose. With Changli Jiuge singing praises of him, there would be more players approaching William for missions.

It was not a big deal for William to assign missions.

The important thing to let the players know was that if they fawned on William, they would obtain a lot of benefits.

“Hidden occupation? I have quite a few of them…” William’s subordinates had hidden occupations as long as they had epic level bloodlines. Was it not easy for William to ask them for inheritance secret manuals?

The flaming soldier inheritance came from Albert, the deputy commander of [Moonlight Legion].

Subsequently.

William did not waste any time. He deployed the Instance Dungeon crystal of the ‘Misty valley’ in the mercenary camp before leaving the City of Dawn with his men.

The Dawn Mercenary Team posted an announcement that made the players of the City of Dawn exhilarated. They flooded to the mercenary camp.
