Lufeng was relieved that this mission was not assigned to Gao Chao and the others; otherwise, it would have been an endless hassle with Su Fei.
After checking the mission prompt, Ma Han still had two tasks left, and he was just about to turn in the 【Water Ghost Scout】 mission.
The group of six walked into Tiger Run Village for a while and arrived at Ma Han's residence again. After turning in the mission, they gained a significant amount of Experience.
Ma Han praised them, saying, "Well done! West Lake has once again regained its tranquility, with the willows swaying gently and the fishermen's songs echoing. Please send my regards to Qin Guan at Lingbo Cave, and thank you to all the heroes from Xiaoyao."
"Of course!" Lufeng nodded in agreement and accepted the new mission—【Subduing West Lake】.
Mission Objective: Find Qin Guan at Lingbo Cave.
"Alas~"
Ma Han sighed again, "The situation at West Lake has finally calmed down, but Su Fei is also leaving Tiger Run Village. No matter how I persuade him, he is determined to go. It was only when he decided to leave that we realized how important Su Fei was to Tiger Run Village. His intelligence and fighting spirit are a model for everyone in the village."
Lufeng nodded in agreement. The matter of the Imperial Edict remained unclear, but the issue of the water ghosts had been resolved, and the villagers of Tiger Run Village no longer needed to worry about their invasion.
Ma Han was troubled, "Not to mention that Su Fei is still the only doctor in Tiger Run Village. After he leaves, there will be no one to treat the villagers... Why do I only realize how precious something is after losing it? What should I do?"
Seeing Ma Han constantly sighing, Lufeng felt even more conflicted. "Oh, Ma Han, it's not that I'm criticizing you, but do you know what you are to me? A loser. With your current state, you're still the king of losers. You always rely on others for help; does Su Fei have any obligation to you? He is a water ghost; if he wants to leave, why can't you let him go? The fact that your village only has one doctor shows that it's hopeless. In the Three Kingdoms period, that would be like being an unworthy person who cannot be supported. Do you understand? You seem not to get it; you're already of age yet still a loser. However, I do have an idea that could help you turn your life around; it all depends on how you think."
Ma Han was taken aback by these words. He raised his hoe several times as if he wanted to hit Lufeng, but he held back and said angrily, "Others may call me the king of losers, and I'm proud of it. I am Ma Han, and I speak for myself. If you have something to say or want to complain, just say it quickly. I don't want to give you any missions; just roll away."
Lufeng was stunned. "What? You don't want to turn your life around? Truly an unworthy person! Do you really think I must accept your mission? I have my own prompts; you still have a useless task left—I'm fine not doing it."
After saying this, Lufeng pretended to leave.
"Wait! If you have a good idea, I'm not very clever. If there's a good way out, I would be very grateful," Ma Han quickly called out to stop Lufeng.
Lufeng smiled faintly and turned to say, "We are always begging others, yet we cannot rely on our father. Why not change ourselves!"
Ma Han shook his head, "I don't understand, Lufeng sir, please clarify!"
Lufeng exclaimed, "Calling you sir, your whole family is a bunch of sirs!"
Ma Han felt his face flush with embarrassment, but for the sake of changing the fate of Tiger Run Village, he endured it. This time he learned his lesson: "Lufeng Young Hero, I'm sorry, I'm a bit slow-witted. Could you be more specific?"
Lufeng shook his head, "Are you slow? How could I not know! I've seen foolishness, but I've never seen anyone as foolish as you. Your village has no doctor; won't you go learn? Are you dead?"
After hearing Lufeng's words, Ma Han's eyes suddenly lit up with joy: "Right! How did I not think of that? I can learn from Su Fei! Can't I, Ma Han, create a miracle? I can start learning medicine now to benefit the people of Tiger Run Village! Lufeng Young Hero, you've awakened me from my dream! You are truly a benefactor to our Tiger Run Village! I don't even know how to thank you!"
"Cough cough~" Lufeng cleared his throat and said lightly, "Words of thanks are meant for the dead. Just give me a few hundred gold coins and I'll be satisfied."
A flock of crows flew by, and Ma Han looked dismayed: "Lufeng Young Hero, I'm really sorry. Money isn't the issue; the key is that we have no money."
Lufeng: "..."
Lufeng really wanted to explode. What was the point of arguing about money? But then he thought about it; what was the point of arguing with an NPC? If someone saw them, they might think he was quarreling with a fool and would consider him a fool too.
Ma Han quickly came up with an idea: "How about this? The herbs used in Tiger Run Village have always been supplied by Erhai, but due to the Water Ghost Rebellion, the supply has stopped. Could you help me deliver this letter to Erhai Shangguan Village's Dao Yao Village Chief? Please ask him to resume the herb supply to Tiger Run Village starting today."
"Sure, I’ll take care of it!" After going around in circles, they returned to the task at hand, and Lufeng felt quite bored.
"Please take care on your way!" Ma Han also issued a dismissal order, fearing that Lufeng might make some excessive demands again.
"Hehe~" Lufeng chuckled proudly; it seemed that only he could fluster an NPC like this.
After completing the last mission at West Lake, Lufeng and the others did not linger. Using the Sect Recruitment Order, they returned to their respective sects to hand in their missions to the task issuers.
With a thought, Lufeng was the first to use the Sect Recruitment Order.
A loud noise echoed through the sky, and everything spun around. Lufeng returned to Lingbo Cave.
After informing Qin Guan about the situation at West Lake, Qin Guan still wore a 'Mian Tan Gui' expression and said in a lukewarm tone, "You have not disappointed the Sect's expectations of you. The road ahead is long, and there are many places waiting for your help. Keep up the good work!"
Lufeng did not want to stay with this Mian Tan Gui for even a moment longer. Besides being able to accept Sect Missions, there were no other tasks available. Lufeng cleverly handed in one Sect Mission and left immediately.
After checking the mission prompts, he realized that Zhou Tianshi had an appointment in Luoyang and that he needed to buy a level 20 Chocobo there. So, Lufeng arranged to meet Wang Xiaojing and the others at Luoyang Post Station.
Arriving at the sect's teleportation point with Li Puppet, he chose Luoyang. Once again, everything spun around, and Lufeng found himself at Luoyang Post Station.
Next to the Waystation was a coachman—Tian Xiaoming—selling mounts. Business was booming; almost every passing player was riding a Chocobo, with only a few unfortunate players unable to afford one due to lack of gold coins, walking past dejectedly.
Lufeng waved his hand grandly and said, "Boss, give me six Chocobos!"
Seeing a big spender, Tian Xiaoming was overjoyed: "Great! That will be six gold coins!"
With a thought, Lufeng confirmed the purchase, and the System automatically deducted six gold coins. The patterns for six Chocobos entered Lufeng's inventory. He no longer had to worry about scam traders.
After trading the other five mounts to Wang Xiaojing and the others, Lufeng used the mount patterns in his inventory. The Chocobo immediately transformed into a living creature and ran into his mount space.
Lufeng was extremely excited and tried to summon his mount with a thought but could not summon it no matter what.
"Ding!"
System Prompt: Dear Player, you have not yet learned the Riding Skill!
Lufeng was taken aback, thinking he had encountered a scammer. He quickly shouted at Tian Xiaoming: "Boss, I can't summon a mount! You’re not trying to cheat me, are you? Hurry up and teach me the Riding Skill for Chocobo, or I’ll report you to the Business Bureau. Oh wait, where do I report your 'scams and tricks'?"
Lufeng was caught off guard by his own foolish question.
Tian Xiaoming was also taken aback and explained, "We operate on integrity and do not engage in fraud. There is no such thing as a Business Bureau or labor department. If you are a disciple of the Top Ten Sects, you can learn the Riding Skill from the Riding Skill Instructor in your sect."
Lufeng awkwardly smiled, "Hehe, I forgot. But how did you know about the labor department?"
Tian Xiaoming: "Out man!"
Lufeng: "…"
Qin Shou couldn't help but laugh: "Haha~ Even the boss makes mistakes sometimes, haha~ You’re killing me!"
"Cough cough~" Wang Xiaojing tried to stifle her laughter.
Lufeng felt embarrassed: "Get lost, you scoundrel! Everyone go learn the Riding Skill on your own. Later, let’s meet directly at Zhou Tianshi!"
