Chapter 12 - Rich Rewards (Part 2)

"No need, the formation I set up is very sophisticated. You don't understand it and won't be able to help. You should hurry back to the newbie village and tell the village chief about this good news. They have been waiting for this moment for a long time."

Oh, it's so frustrating. Hunter Wang Wu didn't give us a chance to create a teleportation point. Of course, we can't create it under his nose.

What's not yours, you won't get, and what is yours, you can't run away from.

Suddenly I remember this classic saying.

It's true, when playing games, it's enough to just have fun. Don't be too obsessed or greedy. That way, you'll deviate from the direction of the game and from our life's purpose.

Just as I was about to use the "return to village" scroll and leave this place to go back to the newbie village, Hunter Wang Wu saw that I was standing still and didn't know what I was thinking. He continued to persuade me, "Stone City, the formation I set up here is called 'Golden Fire Lamenting Wind Killing.' It's one of the top ten secret formations in the Tianmeng continent, and it's very intricate. You won't be able to help."

When Hunter Wang Wu said this, he hardened his heart and then made up his mind, "Stone City, I see that you have exceptional talent. I wanted to teach you my ultimate skill, but my ability is not high enough, and I'm afraid it will affect your future growth path. So I canceled that idea. However, I have a good friend named Li Fengxing, also known as the King of the Mountains. He is a top expert who came out of our newbie village and is also famous throughout the Tianmeng Continent. It's just that Li Fengxing is arrogant and doesn't get along well with others. He has been traveling around the Tianmeng Continent, seeking challenges and stimulation, like a dragon without a head or tail. He's hard to find."

It seems that this King of the Mountains, Li Fengxing, is very powerful. When Hunter Wang Wu said this, his eyes were full of admiration and reverence, as well as a sense of pride.

"When Li Fengxing was in the newbie village, we were good friends, so I can speak for him. I have an item here, a token. If you have the opportunity to meet him in the Tianmeng Continent, just show him my token. I believe he will teach you some ultimate skills for my sake."

After Hunter Wang Wu finished speaking, he handed me a golden medal-like thing.

I took it in my hand, and it was a medal carved with an eagle.

Eagle Medal: Witness of Friendship, effect unknown, task item, not tradable, cannot be dropped.

"Ding dong, congratulations to Stone City for accepting the hidden task of the Eagle Medal. Task requirements: find the King of the Mountains, Li Fengxing. Task restrictions: none."

Haha, a hidden task! I never thought I would get a hidden task like this. My luck is really good.

"Uncle Wang, thank you very much for your guidance and support."

I have no ulterior motive this time, I genuinely appreciate Uncle Wang Wu for his kindness.

The game "King of Glory" is so realistic that it deeply moved me, a feeling that no other game has ever evoked in me before.

"Haha, Stone City, you must work hard and not disappoint my expectations. Remember to say hello to Li Fengxing for me."

After saying this, Uncle Wang Wu turned and walked towards the body of the black bear Charalla. After disposing of the body, he prepared to set up the "Golden Fire and Mournful Wind Kill" formation. He waved at me and said, "Goodbye, Stone City. Go back now!"

"Uncle Wang, goodbye. I will try my best."

I felt deeply touched and could no longer stay there. I took off my Doo Doo Rabbit mask and used the Return Scroll to return to the newbie village.

The newbie village was still bustling with people everywhere, chatting, arguing, and even seeking love. It was really lively, and it seemed that "King of Glory" was really popular.

"Grandpa Village Chief, I'm back. I have completed your mission." I hurried to deliver the quest to the village chief.

"Really? Stone City, did you really complete the task?"

What's this? He doubts my ability?

"Yes, Village Chief. Please take a look at this."

I quickly handed over the Nine Barrels of Divine Spring Water to the Village Chief.

"Stone City, I knew you were extraordinary. No wonder I dreamed of a golden dragon soaring into the sky these past few nights. It seems that our newbie village will have a hero. You are not only our savior, but you will also become a hero of the Tianmeng Continent, and your name will be known throughout the world..."

Oh my, when did the Village Chief learn to flatter? Although I know these words are useless, such beautiful language still makes me smile with joy.

"Hehe, Village Chief, you flatter me. I am a member of the novice village, and the affairs of the novice village are our responsibilities. Naturally, we have to contribute."

"Good...good...Stone City, you have achieved such remarkable results, yet you remain humble and composed. It's truly rare. Since that's the case, could you please take two jars of Divine Spring Water and give them to the blacksmith and pharmacist respectively? If they use the Divine Spring Water in their forging and potion-making, they can produce top-notch weapons and medicine. Also, please tell the blacksmith that I want to borrow his 'Fire Pearl' and tell the pharmacist that I want to borrow his 'Ice Pearl' to purify the Divine Spring Water."

Purify the Divine Spring Water? What does that mean? I don't understand the situation.

However, the Village Chief has not yet rewarded us for the Divine Spring Water hidden task. We just have to obey and work hard, and run this errand.

"Okay, Village Chief, leave it to me. I'll send the two jars of Divine Spring Water right away."

I hurriedly took the two jars of Divine Spring Water and ran to the blacksmith and pharmacist.

"Blacksmith Uncle, Village Chief asked me to bring you a jar of Divine Spring Water."

"Divine Spring Water, it really is Divine Spring Water! You actually retrieved the Divine Spring Water. Stone City, did you kill that wicked black bear?" The blacksmith uncle took the Divine Spring Water and examined it, but couldn't confirm it.

"Yes, it was very difficult for me, but I finally managed to kill that wicked black bear."

"Excellent, Stone City, you've done such a great favor for our novice village and saved us. I want to thank you."

Thank me? Haha, is it a reward for the task? That's my first reaction, and I'm excited and looking forward to it.

"Ding, Stone City, the blacksmith wants to enhance your skills. Are you willing?" The system immediately prompted me.

Enhance my skills? What's that? I haven't encountered this kind of reward before.

"Yes, I'm willing."

"Ding, congratulations Stone City for receiving the blacksmith's guidance. 'Mining Skill' has been upgraded to intermediate level."

"Ding, congratulations Stone City for receiving the blacksmith's guidance. 'Forging Skill' has been upgraded to intermediate level."

"Stone City, I've made a living as a blacksmith my whole life, and I don't have anything good to give you. I can only teach you some basic skills, I hope they will be useful to you."

"Thank you very much, Blacksmith Uncle. I really appreciate your reward."

Impressive! Such a perverse reward! It must be noted that upgrading auxiliary skills is particularly difficult. Yet I managed to elevate my auxiliary skills so effortlessly. Who knows how much time I'll save now? Furthermore, my auxiliary skills have reached intermediate level, which allows me to gather better materials and forge superior equipment. This is truly an intangible asset.

The happiness in my heart cannot be described!

"Master Blacksmith, Grandpa Village Chief said he wants to borrow your 'Purification Bead of the Blaze' to purify the water from the Divine Spring. I don't know if..."

After the blacksmith taught me the skill, he paid no attention to me and instead kept feeling the Divine Spring water with emotion. Thankfully, I didn't forget the Village Chief's mission, so I asked him about it.

"Oh, I almost forgot about this. The water from the Divine Spring must be purified before drinking it. And it can only be done using my 'Purification Bead of the Blaze' and the 'Purification Bead of the Frost' from the apothecary. Wait here, I'll go get them for you."

The blacksmith finished speaking and went inside to retrieve the 'Purification Bead of the Blaze.'

I don't understand why the water from the Divine Spring needs to be purified, but it's none of my business. My only concern is to complete the mission.

"Alright, here's the 'Purification Bead of the Blaze.' Take it to the Village Chief."

The fist-sized, crystal-clear glass bead was exceptionally beautiful. Especially the jumping flame at the center of the bead, which seemed to be alive, constantly changing its shape.

It's a divine artifact, and even a super divine artifact! Looking at the properties of the 'Purification Bead of the Blaze,' I was immediately stunned.
