After completing the first ring mission of Three Rings, Lufeng checked the conditions required to trigger Residual Toxin. There wasn't much change from Heavenly Dragon; he still needed to kill 50 Pseudo Song Soldiers, 10 fleeing bandits, one fake Song Army Vice Commander, and one fake Song Army Commander before he could summon Residual Toxin.
Thinking about the fleeing bandits made Lufeng hesitate. Aside from Murong Xiaoxiao, everyone else was no longer a Newbie. Currently, a team had only three damage dealers, making it a painful experience to enter the Dungeon, especially when facing fleeing bandits. Lufeng didn't even have a 50% chance of success.
Seeing Lufeng looking troubled, Qin Shou couldn't help but speak up: "Boss, I went into the Three Circles Mission during the Internal Test. I was only level 40 when I entered this Dungeon, mainly for the Divine Talisman. But do you know what happened? Even with five damage dealers, we still let one of the fleeing bandits escape. We fought for a long time, and the mission ended in failure!"
Lufeng nodded thoughtfully. The discussions and complaints from nearby players were hard to ignore, and with the lessons learned from Moya Cave, he decisively said, "It's better not to enter this Dungeon before level 40. It's exhausting and doesn't yield any Divine Talisman. Once I can activate my skills, I believe the situation will improve. You all go back to the sect to upgrade your mind methods. I'll wait for you at Dali with Zhao the Master!"
Qin Shou asked in confusion, "Boss, upgrading mind methods requires a lot of Experience. We can only upgrade six mind methods to level 20 at most!"
"Then let's aim for level 20. If our skill mind methods don't keep up, our attack will be too weak. Xiaoxiao, you should upgrade your Washing Marrow Classic and Gentlewoman Swordsmanship to level 30. Upgrade anything else if you have enough Experience, but if not, don't worry about it for now. However, upgrading these two mind methods to level 30 might not leave us with much extra Experience," Lufeng estimated.
"Why do I only need to learn two mind methods? Isn't it better if they all reach level 20?" Murong Xiaoxiao asked in confusion.
Explaining such basic matters was frustrating for Lufeng, but since Murong Xiaoxiao was his beloved sister, he patiently explained, "Once your Emei Xisui Jing Heart Method reaches level 30, you'll be able to use single-target healing with Chongxu Yangqi and single-target resurrection with Revival. The level of the Chongxu Yangqi method is capped at level 20; you can only use it once it reaches that level. The higher the level, the more health it restores. As for the Revival method, its level must reach 30 before you can use it as well; again, higher levels mean more health restored upon revival."
"What about the usefulness of the Gentlewoman Swordsmanship?" Murong Xiaoxiao continued to inquire.
"It speeds up your healing with Chongxu Yangqi."
With all of Murong Xiaoxiao's endless questions, if Lufeng tried to explain everything clearly, he might as well wait for the system maintenance. He turned to Wang Xiaojing: "How about this? Xiaojing, you take Xiaoxiao to upgrade her mind methods. It's fine if we don't upgrade our mind methods in free mode for now; just get the Gentlewoman Swordsmanship to level 30 first before learning the Washing Marrow Classic. This way we can avoid running out of experience points. It would be even better if both mind methods could reach level 30."
Everyone agreed on upgrading their mind method levels, but when it came to Lufeng saying he would gather in Dali, Gao Chao was puzzled and curiously asked, "Boss, it seems like our best option for leveling up right now is still the Three Rings. If you're saying we shouldn't enter that yet, that's fine. But if you're suggesting we go grind monsters in Moya Cave or do main quests in Erhai, we can understand that. However, why are we going to Dali?"
With this reminder from Gao Chao, even Wang Xiaojing noticed something was off: "Yeah, why are we going to Dali? Although we can't use skills in free mode right now, there's no need to go all the way there!"
Lufeng smiled faintly and teased, "Enough chit-chat, you'll find out when the time comes. Go learn your skills, and gather at Zhao the Master in Dali City."
After saying this, Lufeng directly used the return to Dali City.
In a whirlwind of colors, Lufeng found himself back at the center of Dali City.
After two misjudgments in leveling locations, Lufeng finally realized the importance of strength. One way to increase his power was to complete the level 30 Hidden Weapon Story Quest. Once completed, he would receive a Hidden Weapon, which was undoubtedly the best way for a level 30 player to enhance their strength.
Lufeng had thought that Moya Cave was a treasure trove for leveling up, but he never expected to be overwhelmed by numerous monsters. With only six members in his team and just half of them able to deal damage, he and Wang Xiaojing could only sneak attack occasionally. Murong Xiaoxiao hadn't even learned any healing skills and was completely useless; Lufeng had no expectations of her.
For Asking Heaven, the most appealing aspect was the endless monsters that could be farmed, with dungeons and activities that could take all day to complete.
Looking at Royal Beauty, who was already level 32, Lufeng felt surpassed once again.
He couldn't help but mock himself: "What does it matter? Why do I keep watching her? But that little sister will definitely cause chaos when she grows up; she's too cute. Ugh—what am I thinking?"
Shaking his head, Lufeng headed towards Wuhua Altar.
Located near the center of Dali City, Lufeng could see Zhao the Master from a distance.
At this moment, Dali City was still bustling with players engaged in various quests, but not a single player riding a Chocobo stopped by Zhao the Master.
Seeing this situation, Lufeng could be 100% sure that no players had come to take on the Hidden Weapon quest yet. The experts were focused on leveling up while neglecting their temporary strength. Little did they know that Asking Heaven had already integrated dungeon progress with strength progression; without sufficient strength, it was extremely difficult to complete the Three Circles Dungeon, let alone farm monsters in Moya Cave.
Lufeng considered it a stroke of luck; after experiencing setbacks twice, he thought of Hidden Weapon. However, Lufeng was unsure whether the Hidden Weapon mission could truly enhance the team's strength.
Players were experiencing the innovative reforms of Asking Heaven in various ways, each with their own methods and feelings about leveling up. Just like Royal Beauty, who insisted on completing dungeons like Ten Thousand Calamities Tower, they too could claim a spot on the Leaderboard.
After waiting in Luoyang, Wang Xiaojing and others arrived at Wuhua Altar. Lufeng began to take on missions and recounted his leveling journey to Zhao the Master.
Upon hearing Lufeng's intentions, Zhao the Master first praised him, then sighed deeply: “Lufeng, many things have happened since you left Dali City.”
Upon hearing this, Lufeng perked up and quickly asked, “What happened?”
“Ah, it's hard to explain…” After a sigh, Zhao the Master slowly elaborated: “First, there have been numerous reports of missing children. The authorities have sent people to investigate but found nothing. Now, anyone with children at home is terrified. Moreover, there are rumors that the heir of Zhen Nan Wang, Duan Yu, has also gone missing. Initially, I doubted the authenticity of this news until Zhen Nan Wang sent someone to inquire about your whereabouts, saying they needed your help. That’s when I realized something must have happened to the heir.”
After listening to Zhao the Master, Lufeng felt there were inconsistencies; he didn’t even know who Zhen Nan Wang was, so how could anyone be looking for him? It was clear that Zhao the Master was trying to pull a fast one. However, Lufeng understood this was part of a mission and kept it to himself.
“Is there anything I can do to help?” Lufeng asked kindly.
Zhao the Master paused for a moment before continuing: “If it's convenient for you, please hurry to the Dali Town South Wang Mansion and find Zhen Nan Wang Duan Zhengchun.”
Lufeng smiled widely: “Of course it's convenient!”
“Then go quickly!” urged Zhao the Master.
“Farewell!”
Lufeng was very happy to accept this mission - [Whose Child, Whose Courtyard].
Mission Objective: Go to Dali Kingdom Zhen Nan Wang Fu to find Dali Kingdom Zhen Nan Wang Duan Zhengchun.
After receiving the mission prompt, Qin Shou was puzzled: "Boss, are you sure about this? This is a Hidden Weapon mission. Why not go do the main quest in Erhai first? That's how I leveled up to 40 during the Internal Test."
Lufeng countered, "Then may I ask, did you make it into the top 100?"
Qin Shou awkwardly smiled and scratched his head: "There are too many strong players! Although I didn't make it into the top 100, I've seen the guides online, and they all suggest focusing on the main quests first."
Lufeng disagreed: "Come on, it's precisely because everyone does that that they end up being quite ordinary. Those so-called guides can only serve as references. You know our team's situation; both Xiaojing and I can't even unleash our skills yet. Before level 40, don't expect me to be the main attacker. We need to take an unconventional path. While others haven't even started on Hidden Weapon, we will tackle it first. Only by finding the route that suits our team best can we stay ahead of others."
After listening to Lufeng's words, Wang Xiaojing nodded seriously: "I believe in you!"
"Exactly, let's follow the boss's method. Look at how the boss is already level 31 while we're still at 30; what’s there to argue about!" Gao Chao said with a smile.
Lufeng jokingly scolded, "Stop talking nonsense!"
The group of six chatted and laughed as they headed towards the Hidden Weapon Story Quest.
