“Main City Reputation How much do you have left?”
“1 point.”
Qin Huai didn’t quite understand, but still reported the data.
After completing the Elven Pool Dungeon, their reputation points had nearly been exhausted. Yan Yan frowned; taking down the Stormbird Nest was possible, but the randomness involved was too great.
She lowered her gaze and pondered for a moment.
As time passed, Information Broker and Tea Flavor Serenity grew increasingly anxious. The new shop had just opened, and a group of ill-intentioned people were waiting to see them fail. If this mission failed, the losses in the special services section of the Reincarnation Shop would be severe and might even affect other businesses. Chuan Chuan Guild’s Beichuan President truly had a knack for scheming.
Information Broker felt a gnawing hatred in her heart; that old fox!
“I will solve the mission.”
With that, she quickly left with her companion, the Black-Clad Thief, heading towards the general store.
“The Storm Bird is currently in its egg-laying period. After it lays eggs, it will enter a Weakened State for five minutes. During those five minutes, its defense against attacks is halved, making it no different from a level twenty BSS. Using Fire Thunder and Poison should do the trick, but the downside is—its nest is hard to find.”
The rushing wind whipped past her ears, revealing her slender chin. From the side, her profile was exquisitely perfect; after all, the genes of the Yan Family had always been exceptional. Just look at Strict Language, and you would know.
The girl before him had always been shrouded in a heavy aura of hostility, her striking features cloaked in dusk, lifeless and dim.
Now, she had cast Yan Siming, Liu Yufeng, and Ji Yang into the depths of despair, forcing Yan Qingyue and Yan Lang into dire straits. As each issue was resolved, the hostility around her gradually dissipated, revealing her originally radiant brilliance.
He couldn’t help but wonder more than once if she had also been thrown into an abyss like this before, pushed into such desperation by others.
Otherwise, why were there so many moments of struggle reflected in her eyes?
No matter what, from now on, he would protect her, ensuring her peace and safety for a lifetime.
“Rascal?”
Seeing someone seemingly lost in thought, Yan Yan frowned.
“Uh, you, I’m listening.”
Glancing at him, she said, “I know there are five Stormbird Nest locations. The egg-laying nests are random; they could be at the nearest nest or the farthest one. We can only guard two of them, and the rest will be left to Chuan Chuan’s people. Also, while Fire Thunder may not be very effective against level thirty and above Monsters, under weakened conditions, Bss is equivalent to a level twenty Monster, so Fire Thunder can still be used. You can exchange your reputation for Fire Thunder. Once the task is completed, the rewards will be distributed according to the mission ratio. I’ve already informed Beichuan about the fastest way to farm Bss; I believe he won’t lack for Fire Thunder.”
“And you? If I remember correctly, your reputation is already used up?”
“I have no reputation left; I can use a white slip.”
“A white slip?”
“When a Merchant reaches a certain level of favorability with a player, they trigger the ‘white slip’ service. It’s commonly known as ‘face brushing.’”
“Oh wow, the girl has learned to brush faces now. When it comes to face brushing, my face is definitely more useful than yours after lowering the data~”
“Less nonsense, hurry up and go in.”
“Young Adventurer Sister, it’s been a while since you last visited. It seems you’ve had great gains,” the shrewd Grocery Merchant scrutinized Yan Yan for a moment before immediately reverting to his merchant persona. “What do you need this time?”
“The white slip service.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the Grocery Merchant suddenly opened his squinting eyes wide. “Girl, are you sure?”
Nodding.
Immediately, the Grocery Merchant's fingers flew over the abacus, quickly jotting down a contract on the Parchment Roll. "This is the receipt; just sign here."
"Wait—"
In a rush, Qin Huai caught a glimpse of the true nature of the receipt, and his expression changed drastically when he noticed certain clauses. "Girl, are you really going to sign this?"
His tone was stern, an unusual coldness in his demeanor.
"I'll explain later; trust me."
The cold Peach Blossom Eyes stared at her for a long time. In their dark circles, there was a determination that couldn't be ignored. After a while, he irritably turned the dagger in his hand and looked away, saying nothing.
Yan Yan sliced her index finger, and as the drop of blood emerged, she quickly pressed it onto the sheepskin scroll.
A strange Black Mark appeared on her right index finger, with spiraling patterns that were both mysterious and terrifying.
She hadn't expected this mission to trigger so soon; she had planned to wait until reaching level thirty-five.
Unfortunately, all her plans were thrown off course the moment the first Guild Establishment Order revealed an Easter Egg. With no choice but to proceed, she had to push forward.
"Let's go."
As they walked together with the perpetually tense young man, Yan Yan felt nothing but helplessness. How could she explain it to him? Even if they didn't sign this receipt this time, they would inevitably have to do so for future missions.
Just as she was about to speak, a sudden shock coursed through her heart.
Why explain?
Why care about his feelings?
The two questions suddenly made her pause.
"What’s wrong?"
"Nothing," she lowered her gaze to hide the turmoil in her eyes and asked, "Is that the Chuan Chuan people ahead?"
"Yes, it seems so."
"Oh~ isn't that the Boss of the Reincarnation Shop? Sister Bu Yan, long time no see~" She swayed her fluffy Fox Tail and approached in her flamboyant Crimson Robe, a charming smile lighting up Beichuan's fox-like face.
"Beichuan President, is everything ready?"
"Tsk~ still as unlovable as ever, aren’t you, Yan Jie?" With a kiss gesture, her red lips were just about to touch the delicate back of the girl's hand when a large hand pulled her away.
"Sly Fox, long time no see, not even a greeting?"
"Tsk~ rotten peach blossom, so you’re here too. No wonder I’ve been smelling a stench of decay since earlier."
"Hehe, Sly Fox, don’t show affection to just anyone; tone it down a bit."
"Oh ho~ now you’re lecturing me? Who was it that wanted to stir up the entire Liuying Street back then?"
"Stir?"
Yan Yan raised an eyebrow, having caught a rather fresh term.
"Girl, you wouldn't understand this, would you? Come, let me teach you. This 'chao' means fried rice. The nuances of the term 'fried rice' are truly profound," he said with a smirk.
"Sly Fox," came a chilling warning, the dark glint in the narrowed Peach Blossom Eyes unmistakable. "Are you willing to give up your Guild Establishment Order?"
"You know them," Yan Yan asserted confidently.
"I don't know them."
"I don't know them."
They replied in unison.
Heh.
Yan Yan turned away, leaving behind a cold silhouette.
Joining the Chuan Chuan Guild's team, he set up a mission on the public screen.
[Team Channel] Silent: "The Storm Bird will start searching for its nesting site after ten minutes under the influence of Egg Powder. At that time, random Stormbird Nests will drop. No matter where they appear, if your team spots a Stormbird Nest, report it immediately to the team, and the rest should provide support right away. Don't underestimate the thirty-five level BSS's Weakened State; even though its attack and defense are halved, its ultimate moves—Hurricane Roar and Fire Devourer—remain unaffected." (To be continued.)
