Chapter 20 -  Opposing Tasks!

Wang Blacksmith was very surprised.

  He glanced meaningfully at Lin Tianhao, revealing a thoughtful expression.

  "Okay, you give me the stuff and you can come pick up the weapons in ten hours."

  Lin Tianhao took all the equipment required for the quest to Blacksmith Wang.

  "Ding, you have completed Wang Blacksmith's quest, experience value +9085, since you haven't left the novice village yet, you can't gain experience value, experience value is null and void."

  Lin Tianhao didn't feel anything, this was something he already knew in his previous life.

  "Adventurer, I see that you are gifted, if you can find three more things, I might be able to help you upgrade your gold grade weapon to platinum grade."

  Lin Tianhao was very surprised, gold level weapons were already far beyond players at this stage, let alone platinum level.

  However, he probably guessed what task was next.

  "I wonder what it is?" Lin Tianhao asked.

  "My apprentice Elvus has stolen a valuable ore, I have sent two other apprentices after it, if you can assist my two apprentices in recovering it, that ore I would be willing to use to build your weapon."

  "Ding, Blacksmith Wang has issued a quest to you to recover the stolen Ice Flame Demon Ore."

  "Mission Requirements:Retrieve the Ice Flame Demon Mine, or knock out more than twenty percent of Elvus' blood in a battle to help surround Elvus."

  "Mission Penalty:None."

  "Mission Reward:Unknown."

  Lin Tianhao raised an eyebrow, sure enough, the quest for the encounter between Wang Blacksmith and the old village chief, opened up.

  This so-called apprentice mutiny is actually someone that the old village chief arranged to be by Wang Blacksmith's side, and was discovered by Wang Blacksmith and fled by stealing the ore.

  On the surface, Wang Blacksmith and the old village chief hadn't torn their faces off yet, so Elvus was only able to flee to the wilderness.

  If any of the other players were lucky, then there was a chance that they would receive a quest to protect Elvus from the old village chief.

  "Okay, King Blacksmith, I'll try my best, I wonder where Elvus is?"

  "Two of my apprentices pursued into the eastern mines, and that rat Elvus must be hiding somewhere in the mines."

  Lin Tianhao raised an eyebrow, the mine on the east side.

  That seemed to be the territory of the level 8 monster Stone Beetle.

  In his previous life, Lin Tianhao hadn't heard of any strategies for this stone beetle mine.

  There probably is, it just hasn't been blown out of proportion, I guess.

  Twilight of the Gods has hidden maps, hidden bosses, and secret areas, caves, and many other settings.

  Although Lin Tianhao knew some of it, it was only a very small portion.

  After all, most people are tight-lipped about their chances, and not many are willing to go out of their way to publicize their strategies.

  Most of the raids Lin Tianhao knew about were published by guilds or government consortiums after they had drained their profits.

  Either that, or it's something like Yellow Skin as well as Twisted Treehugger, where once it's turned on, there's a service-wide announcement and then you get checked out for turning on the raid.

  "Good, I'll head to the mines now and look for Elvus."

  Coming out of the novice village, Lin Tianhao headed to the mines.

  Being at this time.

  A service-wide announcement rang out.

  "Service-wide notice, congratulations to the player dream by dream smoke and snow to complete the first kill of the water arrow turtle king, hereby notify, look forward to the majority of players to continue to work hard."

  "Service-wide notice, congratulations to the player dream by dream smoke and snow to complete the first kill of the water arrow turtle king, hereby notify, look forward to the majority of players to continue to work hard."

  ...

  The service-wide announcement for this first kill by Dream Smoke and Snow had only just fallen when another service-wide announcement appeared.

  "Service-wide notice, congratulations to player Berserker Blade for being the first to obtain a hidden profession, hereby notify, and look forward to the majority of players to continue their efforts."

  "Service-wide notice, congratulations to player Berserker Blade for being the first to obtain a hidden profession, hereby notify, and look forward to the majority of players to continue their efforts."

  ...

  Lin Tianhao sighed, it seemed that some things from his previous life hadn't changed.

  Berserker Blade still got the hidden profession so quickly.

  Pity.

  Berserker Blade has decent talent, game understanding and skill online, only, unfortunately, too hasty a choice of profession, leading to obliteration in the mid to late game.

  Rookie Village.

  Mines.

  It was a deserted mining cave that had turned into a home for stone beetles because it hadn't been tended to for years.

  Lin Tianhao had only arrived here when he saw dozens of stone beetles roaming outside the mine.

  Stone Beetle (Common):Level 8.

  Life Value:1200/1200.

  Attack:52.

  Skills:Armor Breaker, Stone Shield.

  Very simple two skills, but it is these two skills, but let a lot of ordinary players scream.

  Armor breaking, able to knock down the wear resistance of the weapon, in the early stage of the unusual scarcity of weapons, stone beetles this skill, can be a very headache.

  Phew!

  -1200!

  Lin Tianhao shot out an arrow, and a stone beetle was directly killed by Lin Tianhao in seconds.

  His own life value had surpassed 50,000 after brushing the Twisted Jungle to collect equipment.

  Together with the boost of over 10,000 life points from the Black Iron Tree Man Set, he now had over 60,000 total life points.

  Even without calculating the attack power of the Thunder Bow, the true damage from the life value alone was enough to kill the Stone Beetle in seconds.

  Dozens of stone beetles were all taken care of by Lin Tianhao in less than twenty seconds.

  There were new Stone Beetles refreshed, but Lin Tianhao completely ignored them and directly entered the mine.

  According to Lin Tianhao's calculations, there should be three NPCs inside this mine, or maybe even more.

  "It's you?"

  Only just entering, a surprised voice rang out.

  Lin Tianhao was also somewhat surprised as he looked at the person who had spoken.

  That assassin player, Shadowkill!

  "What? Come to brush up?"

  Because of the successive level drops, the current Shadow was only level five.

  With his attributes and combat skills, it would be easy to fight a level eight Stone Beetle over the level.

  "No, I took a quest."

  "The old village chief's?"

  Lin Tianhao's eyes stared, "The old village chief sent you here to receive Elvus?"

  Shadow was a bit surprised, "You took this quest as well?"

  "No, I took on the opposite mission from the one you just did, but what is your mission?" Lin Tianhao asked.

  "My mission is to get the Ice Flame Magic Mine from Elvus and send it back, and if possible, to assist Elvus in killing the two NPCs that are chasing him."

  Lin Tianhao raised an eyebrow and a smile appeared on his face.

  "My mission is to assist those two NPCs in killing Elvus and then take back the Ice Flame Magic Mine."

  Hearing this, The Shadow was taken aback, "Opposing missions?"

  In previous games, it was actually rare to have this kind of player-versus-player quest.

  "It's an opposing task, however, we should still have the best of both worlds." Lin Tianhao actually had an idea in his heart.

  "What's the best of both worlds?"

  "Three NPCs, get them killed together." Lin Tianhao laughed.

  Upon hearing this, The Shadow was taken aback.

  "Wouldn't that be a little too risky?"

  "As long as it's done properly, then it's entirely possible to do it, and besides, we're not two against three, we're helping Elvus kill two NPCs first, and then we're going back to kill Elvus."
