A group of six walked for a long time and finally found Zhu Wangli. After completing the task, Experience increased significantly. Lufeng did not linger and continued toward the so-called Treasure Cave.
Facing the north wind, Lufeng couldn't help but think of the White-Haired Girl. The only difference was that the White-Haired Girl faced snow while they were battling a sandstorm, heading north...
Without extraordinary perseverance, there would be no ability to turn things around. Through the relentless efforts of Lufeng and the others, they finally found Zhou Dexing.
Seeing someone approach, Zhou Dexing said irritably, "Don't waste my time with nonsense; just complete your trial honestly."
Lufeng was taken aback, not expecting Zhou Dexing to be completely different from other NPCs and quite temperamental.
For the sake of the mission, Lufeng endured and thought to himself that he might as well act tough: "We are sent by Yang Commander."
"Oh, so it's Yang the Great Marshal who sent you. Well then, let me explain first: I am a subordinate of Yang the Great Marshal. However, the discovery of Treasure Cave is mainly due to my other identity. I have two senior brothers, Hu Dehai and Sun Delong. We are all disciples of Lupin Teacher. My two senior brothers are the key figures in discovering Treasure Cave, but they have no connection with the Song Dynasty Army. You need to find them, not me; I can only guide you to them." Zhou Dexing began to exhibit the typical NPC trait of incessant chatter.
Regardless, Lufeng still had to be polite: "Thank you for your help!"
"Now go find my second senior brother Hu Dehai in Treasure Cave. He has a bad temper, so you need to be patient when talking to him," Zhou Dexing said while pointing at the teleportation array leading to Treasure Cave.
Lufeng silently nodded and couldn't help but mutter in his heart: Birds of a feather flock together.
"Lufeng, that stone cave ahead is the teleportation array leading to Treasure Cave; hurry up!" Wang Xiaojing said excitedly.
Lufeng shook his head in exasperation: "I see it; no need to get all worked up."
The group of six stepped into the colorful teleportation array. After a dizzying spin, they arrived at the first level of Treasure Cave, where Hu Dehai happened to be at the entrance.
As Zhou Dexing said, as soon as Hu Dehai saw someone come in, he disdainfully remarked, "What's going on? Yang Wenguang always sends such incompetent people to find me."
Upon hearing this, everyone wanted to step forward and slap him, but fortunately, Lufeng managed to hold back and stopped Gao Chao and the others with a look. He confidently said, "Whatever task you have, just give it to me. If I can't complete it, I won't have my little buddy."
Hu Dehai was taken aback. "Is that true?"
"Of course!" Lufeng affirmed.
"Boss—there's no need to go that far. Betting your little buddy is not acceptable! How about this: we won't take on this mission. What’s the point? Without my little buddy, what can I do?" Qin Shou said with a pained expression, as if he were about to cut off his own little buddy.
Murong Xiaoxiao and Wang Xiaojing were also surprised.
After receiving Lufeng's affirmative answer, Hu Dehai couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Good, good, good! Lufeng, to be honest, I find you quite unpleasant because your skills are too poor. If you hadn't bet your little buddy, I would have kicked you out long ago."
"If you can find my senior brother Sun Delong in the first level of Treasure Cave, your adventure can continue. Otherwise, you won't have your little buddy. Haha!" Hu Dehai finished speaking and was already in tears from laughing.
"Alright!" After Lufeng made his promise, he successfully accepted the mission—[Wisdom's Trial].
Mission objective: Find Sun Delong in the first level of Treasure Cave [1175, 1000].
After accepting the mission, Lufeng couldn't help but laugh heartily. "Hu Dehai, oh Hu Dehai, I forgot to tell you that I find you quite unpleasant too."
Hu Dehai's expression changed. "Do you want to lose your little buddy?"
"Haha, of course I do!" Lufeng laughed loudly.
"What the hell?" Everyone was taken aback.
"I never had a small one because I have a big one!" Lufeng said, ignoring Hu Dehai, causing Murong Xiaoxiao and the others to break into a cold sweat.
"Poof~" Hu Dehai directly spat out three liters of blood...
"Boss, you really scared me just now. Please don't be so shocking next time, okay?" Qin Shou said, still shaken.
Lufeng smiled nonchalantly, "I know what I'm doing. It's just that Hu Dehai is too full of himself. If I don't teach him a lesson, I would be letting down millions of players."
Gao Chao, however, was unconvinced: "With such an easy task of finding someone, are we really afraid we can't complete it? It's a piece of cake. Boss, next time you should say you have no small one."
Lufeng kicked him in the butt: "Are you looking for a fight?"
"Hehe~"
...
Lufeng hadn't taken this mission seriously at first. Based on his previous experience playing Heavenly Dragon, the key to this mission was to have lightness skills because Sun Delong was on the other side of the gorge. The only way to reach Sun Delong was by leaping with lightness skills. However, when he actually needed to fly, he suddenly remembered he had forgotten the most important thing.
"Damn it, this is ridiculous! I forgot about Free Mode; I can't use my skills now." Lufeng said helplessly, while also feeling grateful that he didn't bet on having no small one. If he really didn't have one, who would he cry to?
"So what do we do now?" Gao Chao asked.
"Just chill!" Lufeng said gloomily.
Seeing Sun Delong right across from them, Lufeng and Wang Xiaojing were unable to use their lightness skills, which was incredibly frustrating.
As they reached the edge of the valley, looking at the steep valley wall and the bottomless river, Lufeng hesitated and said helplessly, "Xiaoxiao, Qiu Han, Gao Chao, Qin Shou, you four go ahead and complete the mission. Xiaojing and I will think of another way."
"Okay!" Gao Chao and the others replied in unison, but Murong Xiaoxiao insisted, "No, I won't go. I'll wait for you. If you can't cross, I won't do this mission either."
Seeing Murong Xiaoxiao so stubborn, Lufeng had no choice but to signal Qiu Han and the others to proceed with the mission.
Just as Qiu Han and the others used their skills to leap across, a leaf suddenly floated down. Lufeng turned around and saw a tree not far away. A flash of inspiration struck him, and he was overjoyed: "Haha! I told you, Asking Heaven wouldn't let us down. I have a plan!"
"What plan?" Murong Xiaoxiao and Wang Xiaojing asked in confusion.
"Look!" Lufeng pointed at the tree beside him.
Wang Xiaojing shook her head at first but suddenly realized something and exclaimed in shock, "You don't mean you want to use the tree to build a bridge, do you?"
"Exactly," Lufeng nodded.
At that moment, Qiu Han and the others returned after completing their mission. Lufeng unceremoniously urged them, "Quickly chop down this tree."
Gao Chao was startled: "Boss, don't mess with me. How long will it take to chop down such a big tree? Besides, chopping down trees recklessly can land you in jail."
"Shut up! Hurry up," Lufeng thought about tearing his mouth off.
"Bang! Crash! Bang~" The sound of chopping wood echoed throughout the first level of the Treasure Cave. Some players who had just entered the Treasure Cave thought monsters were attacking and ran away in fear.
A few minutes later, after the relentless efforts of Qiu Han and the others, the large tree fell, lying across the gorge. Lufeng, Wang Xiaojing, and Murong Xiaoxiao set off on their quest to find Sun Delong, moving quickly until they soon stood before him.
Seeing Lufeng approach in this manner, Sun Delong was thoroughly impressed: "You actually thought of using the big tree to find me. That's quite remarkable. This Dull Necklace is yours."
"Thank you!" Lufeng gratefully accepted the Necklace and saw that it was a level 15 healing Necklace. He was overjoyed as a surge of energy coursed through him, significantly boosting his attributes. The quest was completed, and he leveled up to level 18 (3218/18216).
"Ding!"
System Notification: Dear Player, congratulations on reaching level 18.
At this moment, Sun Delong looked at Lufeng with newfound respect and spoke more amicably: "Lufeng, your perseverance, patience, and wisdom have been tested. Now I want to test your martial skills. Go kill 5 Graverobbers!"
"So easy!" Lufeng said excitedly.
Sun Delong then chimed in with some English: "Very good!"
Everyone was instantly stunned...
