Lufeng was astonished and quickly explained, "Brother Tian, what do you mean? I have no such intention."
Seeing Lufeng playing dumb, Extreme Radiance pondered for a moment and sighed, "It seems you don't intend to join my Extreme Radiance Dynasty. That's fine; you can consider yourself an honorary elder of the Extreme Radiance Dynasty. During the National Championship, you must promise to help me in the finals, how about that?"
Given such a generous offer from Extreme Radiance, Lufeng naturally accepted it with a smile, saying, "Since Brother Tian holds me in such high regard, I will take on the role of honorary elder of the Extreme Radiance Dynasty. Rest assured, as long as you make it to the finals, I will definitely help you. Even if both Myth Studio and Extreme Radiance Dynasty reach the finals, I will still fight for you. If you don't believe me, we can sign an agreement."
"Haha! Good, I believe you. Since you are not swayed by money, I naturally trust your promise. Brother Lufeng, I will take my leave now. If Laugh at My Madness dares to trouble you again, just let me know, and I will crush his gang," Extreme Radiance laughed heartily.
"Thank you, farewell!" Lufeng cupped his hands in gratitude.
……
After Extreme Radiance left, the surrounding crowd quickly dispersed when they realized there was no more entertainment to be had. The early game time was precious, and Lufeng and the others did not linger any longer and swiftly headed towards Yang Wenguang.
Along the way, Wang Xiaojing looked at Lufeng with a slightly different gaze. She felt pleased; she did not believe in any romantic world for two. She only wanted to capture the heart of the person she liked. Even if the other party was already taken, she would still strive for her love. As for Xiaoxiao, being her close friend, she did not mind this kind of three-person dynamic.
Wang Xiaojing's bold actions in love told everyone: 2012 is over; what is there to fear? If you want to love, love boldly!!!
Watching Lufeng deep in thought, Murong Xiaoxiao gently reminded him, "Brother, we can't slack off anymore. We just wasted so much time; even Royal Beauty is already level 21."
Lufeng silently nodded and patted Murong Xiaoxiao's head, saying, "Yes! My little Xiaoxiao has become sensible too, haha!"
"Hmph! You touched my head again!" Murong Xiaoxiao pouted and pretended to be angry.
"Hehe~"
Noticing that Lufeng seemed preoccupied with something, Miss Wang curiously asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Lufeng shook his head: "It's nothing. Everyone pay attention; next we need to level up at full speed. We only have a few days left. Everyone work hard and bring out your previous energy. Xiaoxiao, Xiaojing, if you can't keep up with the fast pace, just let me know."
“Understood!” Gao Chao said in unison.
Murong Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t hold us back!”
Seeing that Murong Xiaoxiao had expressed her stance, Wang Xiaojing was unwilling to be outdone: “I won’t either!”
“By the way, should we return the box we obtained in Treasure Cave to Yang Wenguang?” Wang Xiaojing continued.
Lufeng nodded and then shook his head: “That’s right, it seems Xiaojing still remembers this matter. I was just thinking about it. When we played Heavenly Dragon, we couldn’t open this box, so we just completed the quest. But now that we’ve directly entered the virtual world, I’m wondering whether we should open it? If it really is a treasure, why isn’t it locked?”
“What should we do then?” Gao Chao asked.
Lufeng revealed a barely noticeable smile and shook his head: “Don’t believe in fairy tales. There can’t be any treasures in the early stages of the game; if everyone got so-called treasures, wouldn’t the game company go bankrupt? Therefore, I think this is a scam.”
“Really?” Gao Chao felt quite disappointed.
Lufeng nodded: “It’s better to believe there’s none than to believe there is. This NPC talks nonsense; he’s not trustworthy!”
……
Under Lufeng’s urging, the six of them quickly arrived at the entrance of Yumen Inn, where they found Yang Wenguang.
Seeing Lufeng return, Yang Wenguang showed a hint of a smile filled with respect: “Congratulations on passing the final trial. Lufeng, what I said about making a fortune and trading was actually a test for you. There may be countless treasures in Treasure Cave, but the real treasure is talent! What is most precious in the 21st century?”
“Talent!” Lufeng replied, feeling relieved that he hadn’t opened that box.
“Exactly. Just like when you chopped trees over the cliff in Treasure Cave, that action has completely shocked me. You have become a person with perseverance, patience, wisdom, martial skills, and credibility.” After saying this, Yang Wenguang smiled again.
Having become immune to the NPC's meaningless words, Lufeng patiently listened until he finished and silently nodded.
"Well done. Thanks to your efforts, the people of Dunhuang are more at peace. Please send my regards to Qin Guan at Lingbo Cave, and thank you to all the wandering heroes," Yang Wenguang continued.
Lufeng nodded, "No problem!"
He accepted this errand task—[Pacification of Dunhuang].
Mission objective: Find Qin Guan at Lingbo Cave.
Yang Wenguang exclaimed, "Yoshi!"
Lufeng was taken aback, "Yang Commander, your line is wrong. If there are no other tasks, I'm leaving."
Yang Wenguang secretly nodded, "Very good. I didn't expect you to notice that. You have completely conquered me. I now have a new mission for you."
Lufeng nodded in confusion, "Please go ahead!"
Yang Wenguang praised him and then began a lengthy discourse: "The war at Yumen Pass against the Western Xia Forces has given us hope again. We will definitely reclaim Yumen Pass and take Xingqing Prefecture in one go..."
"Yes, I believe you!" Lufeng suppressed the urge to retort and nodded in agreement, silently shouting: Can you please get to the point?
Suddenly, Yang Wenguang changed his tone: "This is all thanks to you, Lufeng, but I can't let you rest just yet. Forgive me. You've been in Dunhuang for so long; haven't you noticed something strange?"
Lufeng shook his head, unsure of what Yang Wenguang was getting at.
"Sigh..." Seeing Lufeng shake his head, Yang Wenguang sighed.
"Those soldier figurines have no thoughts yet can fight against our trained soldiers... Who gave them the ability to battle?" Yang Wenguang continued to ask.
Lufeng was really getting impatient: "How would I know?!"
Yang Wenguang ignored Lufeng and continued, "I have a friend who is a descendant of the Great Zhou's Chai Wang, named Chai Jin. He is currently in Songshan overseeing Chongyang Academy. I have heard him mention some matters regarding the Songshan's abandoned Wooden Dummy; you can go ask him about it."
Lufeng nodded in agreement and accepted this task — [Combat Power].
Mission Objective: Find Chai Jin in Songshan's Songyang Academy [1200, 1671].
After accepting the mission, Lufeng did not linger any longer and agreed to return to Luoyang Post Station after completing the Pacification of Dunhuang mission.
Thus, the group of six, belonging to different sects, each returned to their respective sects to report their missions.
After a long Marathon, Lufeng returned to Lingbo Cave and stood before Qin Guan.
Qin Guan still wore a deadpan expression and said lightly, "Lufeng, you have indeed lived up to the Sect's expectations. The road ahead is still long, and there are many places waiting for your assistance. Keep up the good work!"
Lufeng nodded in agreement. After completing the mission, he leveled up to level 19 (5600/21528).
"Ding!"
System Notification: Dear Player, congratulations on reaching level 19.
