Chu Bai left the pharmacy and went straight to the bun shop in the starter village.
At the same time, he wanted to accept two missions. Of course, it would be best if there was an HP Potion as a reward. After all, he probably would not be able to go to this pharmacy again in the future.
On the way over, Chu Bai took a look at the rewards he got from killing the Bronze Boss.
His luck was pretty good. The Boss had actually dropped a Bronze Artifact.
[Wolf King Armor:
Grade: Bronze
Usage Requirement: Level 0, any Class.
Equipment dropped by the Bronze Boss, Gray Wolf King. Possesses a certain level of Defense and Cold Resistance.
Attributes: HP +180, Defense +15, all damage received reduced by 1%.]
A Level 5 Bronze Armament was considered a good specimen for Bronze Equipment. After all, in the early stages of the game, even the Level 3 Chu Bai only had 230 HP. This equipment directly added a full 180 HP.
Chu Bai equipped the Wolf King Armor, and his HP reached 410.
Other than that, there was another item.
It was a purple bracelet.
[Amethyst Bracelet
Grade: None
An accessory that is not expensive and does not have any additional attributes. It was a birthday gift from the village chief to his wife and was accidentally lost in the wilderness. The Gray Wolf King accidentally picked it up and kept it by his side because he liked its fragrance.]
"Oh? The village chief's wife's jewelry?"
Chu Bai raised his eyebrows.
According to his experience, something like this might trigger a hidden mission.
Carrying the Amethyst Necklace, Chu Bai first bought some buns before walking toward the village chief's courtyard.
In the courtyard, many players were here to accept missions.
Generally speaking, the first place to go in the starter village was the village chief's abode. The village chief's place would definitely have a hidden mission. All that mattered was who would be able to trigger it.
The village chief's courtyard was especially crowded.
"Don't push, don't push. F*ck, who's squishing me?"
"Stop squeezing. My bra is going to be pinched off."
"F*ck! Who f*cking touched me?"
"…"
After some time, Chu Bai finally arrived before the village chief.
"Brave adventurer from another world, how can I help you?"
The village chief looked at Chu Bai as he asked the question.
Chu Bai directly took out the amethyst bracelet.
"I picked this up. I was wondering if it belongs to the village chief?"
When the village chief saw the amethyst bracelet, his entire body trembled.
"My wife's amethyst bracelet!"
He reached out his trembling hand to take the bracelet.
The surrounding players were shocked.
"F*ck! Where did that guy get that bracelet? Did he trigger a hidden mission?"
"Bai Ye? Oh my god, that's the great Bai Ye who killed the Bronze Boss?"
"What first kill? He stole that monster from the Feng Ling Dynasty."
"Village chief, I just picked up a bra on the ground. Is it your wife's?"
"…"
The village chief looked at Chu Bai gratefully.
"Brave adventurer from another world, thank you very much for giving me my wife's bracelet. Please come with me to the inner room."
After that, Chu Bai followed the village chief into the house.
The other players watched helplessly as Chu Bai triggered the hidden mission.
Not far away.
"Boss, that Bai Ye guy seems to have triggered a hidden mission at the village chief's place."
A few of them ran to the side of the Old Dream Tian Yu.
"F*ck! Where is everyone? Have they gathered?"
"The gathering is complete. There are a total of 320 people."
Old Dream Tian Yu's eyes flickered with darkness.
"When he leaves the village, kill him."
"Yes!"
Tian Xing walked to Old Dream Tian Yu's side and said in a voice low enough that only he could hear, "Your Flame Beads were taken by him. He used one and there are still four left. Each has a range of forty meters. We can kill more than three hundred and twenty people with that."
...
"What's there to be afraid of? Just spread out. If dozens of people hit him, wouldn't his little bit of remaining health be gone?"
"True."
Old Dream Tian Yu said, "But we have to be careful. We've already died once. It's fine as long as we stay far away."
In the inner room of the village chief.
The village chief carefully wrapped the bracelet and looked at Chu Bai.
"Brother Bai Ye, thank you very much!" He held Chu Bai's hand and said gratefully.
"It was just the right thing to do," Chu Bai replied.
Then, the village chief took out a scroll and handed it to Chu Bai.
"This is a secret manual I accidentally picked up when I was gathering herbs in the wild 15 years ago. It's too profound for my understanding. Please take it as my showing of gratitude."
Chu Bai took it.
"Ding… You have obtained Ode of the Phoenix."
...
[Ode of the Phoenix]:
An extremely rare skill. Usage Requirement: None.
[Description: A skill exclusive to the Phoenix lineage. It possesses a terrifyingly destructive power of fire. Ode of the Phoenix can even destroy the world. There are a total of nine skills.]
Chu Bai, "…"
F*ck!
In this game, the definition of skills was not as clear as equipment and monsters. To players, the higher the level requirement for a skill was, the more powerful the skill was.
For example, the skills that were obtained from level 50 and level 80 were all very powerful.
The skills can be roughly defined as basic skills, intermediate skills, and advanced skills.
Advanced skills were classified at Level 50 of Rank 2, and Level 80 of Rank 3. They were powerful skills that every class could obtain.
It was rare to see something even more powerful than advanced skills.
Chu Bai was not sure how powerful this Ode of the Phoenix was, but this introduction about destroying the world… was it not exaggerating?
Moreover, the lack of a level requirement was the most ridiculous part.
"Thank you, Village Chief."
"You're too kind." The village chief poured a cup of tea for Chu Bai.
"My wife left after arguing with me, but I didn't expect to never hear from her again. I suppose something bad must have happened to her, but I still have a trace of hope. I miss her so much. Brother Bai Ye, the place she disappeared is called the Dark Abyss. Can you help me go and see if I can find her there? If you bring me news of my wife, I will be eternally grateful to you."
"Ding… Congratulations on triggering the hidden mission "Finding News of the Village Chief's Wife".
Mission Reward: Unknown.
Mission Duration: 7 days.
Do you accept?"
Chu Bai nodded. "No problem. I'll go now."
"Ding… You have accepted."
"Thank you! Thank you very much!"
Chu Bai said, "It's just that… the Dark Abyss is a location that I've never set foot on before. I don't have any HP Potions on me, so it's really difficult for me to travel…"
"That's easy."
The village chief promptly took out ten bottles of potions from the cabinet and handed them to Chu Bai.
"It's useless for me to keep these. Please accept them."
Chu Bai took them.
"Ding… You have obtained Medium HP Potion*10."
Chu Bai had done this many times in The World, but Destiny felt more realistic than The World.
"There are also these 100 gold coins. I live alone anyway. Please take them too."
"Thank you, Village Chief. I'll go now."
"Remember to be careful. It is said that no one can walk out of the depths of the Dark Abyss alive. That's also a taboo in the village. If you encounter danger, return quickly. Don't go too deep."
Chu Bai nodded and left the village.
After Chu Bai left, dozens of people secretly followed him from all directions.
Chu Bai took out the Ode of the Phoenix skill book and crushed it.
"Ding… You have successfully learned the skill Ode of the Phoenix."

Chu Bai, "???"
