Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
For example, right now, Li Yao couldn’t leave the Tower of the Sun without a professional mentor’s proof. If he left on his own, he would be an illegal resident.
The majority of NPCs would ignore you, and the map of the Ancient God World was vast. To travel to other maps, you had to rely on a flying mount or a cargo vehicle.
Of course, every race’s capital city had teleportation, but that was something adventurers at this stage simply could not access.
Every key location had checkpoints, and without proof it was a big hassle. You couldn’t even unlock basic race reputation.
Without proof, walking all the way to Undercity would be useless, even if it killed you.
“The task is actually quite simple. You just need to deliver this letter to the general, and he’ll teach you the power of the Dark Ranger.”
Li Yao didn’t want to take this task which at this stage no player could complete. He had a clear Ranger mission guide in his mind, incredibly detailed. The Dark Ranger was certainly powerful, but the ability to complete it was required. By the time he would be qualified enough, he didn’t even know how many levels he’d need to climb. Not to mention elites, there would probably be a lot of boss-level players.
Just when Li Yao was about to refuse, a flash of light appeared in his mind, and he thought of a crucial task.
The reason why he remembered this task was that it had something to do with the queen.
Two years after the game began, a player who enjoyed quests found a necklace, a mission item, in the Tower of the Windwalker.
The necklace was engraved a line of words: For my beloved sister, Sylvanas, forever yours, Aurelia.
After going through trials and tribulations, this player finally met the queen and from that point on, there was a beautiful but sorrowful melody echoing around – The Elegy of the High Elves.
For the queen’s fans, it was a heartbreaking story. Many reposted this easter egg online, and Li Yao saw it.
Seeing the letter his mentor held out to him, he accepted it without hesitation and said, “I’ll take on this task.”
“Let me remind you – don’t let anyone know about this. Remember, anyone.”
Eileen asked solemnly, “Can I trust you?”
“Whether you trust me or not, I certainly can’t offend you,” Li Yao responded with a rueful smile.
Possessing the Eye of the Creator, he had already seen some of Eileen’s attributes. Though he didn’t know her level, one point was enough to intimidate – she was a Racial Chief.
“I like smart people.” Eileen smiled, giving Li Yao a rein and said, “I won’t treat you poorly. This is my mount, you can borrow it for five days. If you can’t complete the task within five days, then just give this letter to my mount. You don’t need to worry about the rest.”
“Thank you, Mentor.” Li Yao smiled ruefully again. This mentor was no simple figure. He didn’t know what was written in the letter, but as his strength was still weak, he couldn’t open it.
Actually, giving him the mount was a kind of encouragement and motivation, as well as imposing a time restriction on the task.
Seeing a private message notification, Li Yao quickly excused himself and walked outside to accept the call.
“The Big Brother explained to me that it was all The Third Brother’s doing, not his intention. What are you going to do?” Feng Yi asked.
A cold glint flashed in Li Yao’s eyes, “Can you connect me with Big Brother? I’ll talk to him personally.”
“He’s already added you as a friend,” Feng Yi said.
“I don’t have room for the Wanderer’s Workshop in my friends list.”
“Alright, hold on,” Feng Yi knew Li Yao was very decisive. If he said he wouldn’t add Big Brother, she wouldn’t persuade him.
“Prairie Fire, this is Big Brother. The recent incident was our fault from Wanderer’s Workshop. We paid the gambling debt to Xiayao, so I think we should let bygones be bygones.” A somewhat low male voice came through.
Li Yao just laughed, “I’m not your underling. Don’t use that tone of voice with me. You think you can be overbearing and say it’s over when you want? Get lost. What the hell do you think you are?”
“Young man, don’t be so hot-headed. I admit, you have some skills. But don’t flatter yourself too much. Save yourself some room, and you’ll understand why in the future,” Big Brother defused his tone, clearly not angry.
“It’s none of your business how I do things. And let me tell you, don’t think that because you gained a little insignificant fame in the previous game that you’re all great. Careful not to capsize in the drain,”
Li Yao sneered. Big Brother, or Gentle Death God as they called him, was two-faced. Aside from the people in Wanderer’s Workshop, anyone who offended them would face a calculated, seemingly unintentional attack when they least expected it.
“I’m only trying to do what’s best for everyone. You sent Old Third back to level zero, do you think he won’t take revenge? We have nothing to lose, we should let this go. Of course, if you’re not satisfied, you can present your own conditions, we can negotiate,” Big Brother’s tone softened.
“There’s only one condition. Expel Wanderer’s Third Brother from your workshop, and I won’t make a fuss about this,” Li Yao’s tone calmed down.
“Young man, you’re too petty.”
“So according to your logic, if someone tried to harass your wife, failed, then you would just shake hands and make up afterwards?” Li Yao laughed.
“In that case, if you’re unwilling to reconcile, bring it on. I’m ready for anything.” With that, he hung up without waiting for Li Yao’s response.
Li Yao’s gaze flickered, “The Wanderer’s Workshop is also clearing out a IVI 10 instance, right?”
“Uh huh, I just learned about their progress. They’re clearing instance No. 589.
They’re currently fighting the first boss.” Feng Yi suddenly understood,
“Revenge is a dish best served cold.”
“Right, you go level up. I need to complete an elite task, it might take a few days.” Li Yao didn’t elaborate.
“Elite task?” Feng Yi was puzzled.
“You’re also doing an elite task, right? That Skeleton warrior was a reward from the first few steps, right? It will turn into an elite once all the tasks are complete. I just got one, I have to complete it.” Li Yao explained.
Feng Yi had a sudden realization, “So, the system was telling the truth. What about Pupil…”
“She’s also doing elite tasks, tell her to complete them carefully. That’s it.”
Li Yao hung up the call and his face grew cold. Why would he wait ten years to get revenge when he could do it now?
“Taking the boss, using my strategy and still being so arrogant… I can’t let things go your way.”
Li Yao spent 50 silver coins again to teleport to instance No. 589. He summoned Eileen’s mount in the square, swiftly climbing onto it.
In the astonished exclamation of surrounding players, the enormous Dragon Eagle rose into the air….
