Online Game: The King of the New World - Chapter 16

Chapter 16 A New Beginning!
Looking at Uncle Riding Dragon’s thieving expression, Xu You was stunned for a long time before he reacted. He dared to trigger another mission!

‘”Very good! Yue Wuyou, I knew you would agree. Don’t worry, as long as you finish helping me, I will definitely tell you a secret. You won’t suffer any losses. Come, lean your ears closer!” Uncle Riding Dragon had a mysterious expression on his face.

“I want you to help me go to the dark cave in the southwest of the village and kill the leader of the mine thieves!” Cheng Long whispered.

“That’s why!” Xu You’s eyes lit up when he heard this. That Level-5 Thief Leader was indeed no ordinary monster. There was a reason why he was mixed up in a pile of Level-2 monsters. He hadn’t discovered the problem just now, it was just that he hadn’t triggered the quest!

“Ding, you accepted the mission, ‘Damn thief leader!'”

After hearing the system prompt, Xu You quickly opened the quest interface to see what the rewards were.

Mission: Damn thief leader!

Task Description: The dragon rider in the village seemed to be very dissatisfied with the thief leader. He had always wanted to kill it, but the warriors beside him weren’t strong enough to deal with this powerful thief leader. He himself couldn’t leave the village. Now that you’ve appeared, he’s very happy. Go kill it. Bring back its saber. The thief leader is in that dark cave in the southwest of the village. Perhaps you’ll have to go deeper to find it.

Mission objective: Strange saber: 0/1

Mission reward: a secret of riding a dragon.

Mission Level: 10

Restricted Profession: Knight.

Xu You frowned when he saw this. How could there be such a strange mission reward? A secret? Is this a reward? Moreover, this mission actually had a class restriction. Only a knight could accept it. Could it be a class mission? Thinking of this, Xu You was a little excited.

Originally, he thought that his charm had worked again, but now it didn’t seem like it. This should be a hidden mission. From the mission information, it could be seen that as long as a rank 10 knight came back, he would receive this mission.

Xu You didn’t think that this mission was related to the hidden profession. After all, it was too easy for him to receive a hidden profession’s mission. It was good that this mission could reward a knight’s equipment. If he could reward a special knight’s skill, then he would be rich. However, he still had some thoughts in his mind. He hoped that this mission was related to the hidden profession.

After a while, Xu You adjusted his expression and walked out of the village. He had to be careful not to be noticed. The example of Qingwu told him not to underestimate people’s curiosity. However, when he returned, he was already the focus of everyone’s attention.

“Alright, looks like we need to do something. Why are you looking at me? Although I want to have a figure and a good appearance, I’m not a beauty!” Xu You discovered that no matter where he went, the surrounding players would “visit” him.

After leaving the village, Xu You found a place to hide. He took off his green breastplate and weapons, then secretly walked out, and then walked towards the dark cave.

Without green equipment, he was less conspicuous, Although he didn’t wear a breastplate, revealing the shirt that the system had revealed when he didn’t wear chest equipment by default, making him look somewhat inappropriate, there were still some mentally handicapped players who felt that the gray equipment the system gave him was too ugly. They would rather not wear armor than destroy their image. As for not taking a weapon, that was even more common.

Therefore, as long as it wasn’t a few players who remembered Xu You’s name and appearance, they wouldn’t recognize him. Thus, he swaggered into the dark cave. The players in the cave really didn’t pay attention to him. After looking at him, they continued to beat their own monsters. They didn’t notice that this high-level player who was “idle to the point of egg pain” had returned.

There were Level 5 Patrol Monsters in the depths of the dark cave. Many players who were killing monsters here knew that, so there would not be any low-level players going in. Therefore, after Xu You discovered the Thief Leader, he wore green equipment to fight. He would deal with it with two hammers.

With the mission, The thief leader finally dropped a special item. It was the quest item “Strange Saber”. Xu You picked it up and looked at it. It was only a one-handed sword that marked the quest item. It didn’t have any attributes. He just glanced at it and threw it into his bag. Then, he took off his green equipment and pretended to be helpless when he encountered a high-grade monster. He walked out of the cave.

There was a reason why Xu You was so cautious. As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake and ten years afraid of a straw rope, Let alone the example of Qingwu, he had encountered similar situations in previous games. He was accidentally discovered while doing a hidden mission, causing a lot of trouble. In the end, he had no choice but to announce the mission before calming the waves. From then on, Xu You had developed the habit of being cautious.

But if someone has their eyes on you, These actions are useless, Others have the heart to hide in the shadows and watch your every move, You didn’t notice that everything you did was a cover-up. Qing Wu was a living example, but it wasn’t a reason not to conceal it. After all, those who wanted to do something to you just wanted a piece of the pie. It was better to know more than everyone else, let alone that not everyone had Qing Wu’s ability to observe.

In short, Xu You returned to Uncle Riding Dragon safely. After handing over the mission items, he saw that Riding Dragon looked at the saber in his hand with a nostalgic gaze. His emotions and gaze became somewhat complicated. It seemed that Uncle Riding Dragon was also a man with a story!

“Yue Wuyou! Thank you, this saber means something to me, I accidentally lost it three years ago, Only later did he find out that it had fallen into the hands of the head of the mine thief, It’s just that I was already in a very important position, Unable to leave the village, “It wasn’t until recently that I saw hope from the arrival of you brave men. However, when you first arrived, you were too weak. You were no match for the thief leader. When you grew up enough to deal with it, you left long ago. We waited and waited, but you were the only one who came back. You helped me greatly. I will fulfill my promise and tell you a secret.” Riding Dragon quickly put away his emotions and told him all the secrets he knew.

“This secret was something I encountered in my early years. It was said to be a secret, but there were actually other people who knew about it. However, there weren’t many of them. I can’t guarantee that you would get any benefits, so you can listen to it as a story. The story is like this:

Near the docks of City of Sunrise in the eastern part of Triumph, There was an alcoholic named Dick who was drunk every day. No one had ever seen his sober appearance. As time passed, everyone around him was used to the smell of alcohol. No one cared about him, and no one understood him. Because of this, no one knew that he was a knight, an incomparably powerful knight.

When I wasn’t here as a sergeant five years ago, In City of Sunrise, when the Nagas attacked City of Sunrise, At that time, I and a few other knights were assigned to the dock to prevent Naga from ambushing us from the dock. However, I didn’t expect that the cunning Naga would actually unite with the Sea Giants and launch a large-scale attack from the dock. Not long after nightfall, a large number of enemies boarded the dock. It was estimated that we were wrongly killed and injured in an instant.

At this moment, Dick, who had originally been dismissed to the safety zone in the city, suddenly appeared from nowhere. We managed to defeat the wave of Naga and Sea Giants who were attacking the dock on our own. After all, those Naga and Sea Giants were Level 80 Silver Elites. Everyone was stunned at that time, but we can’t mistakenly recognize the aura of Holy Light. This powerful Dick is a knight! But it was already night, During the war, no one else knew about Dick except us soldiers. After that night, Naga failed to retreat from the siege, City of Sunrise returned to peace, Dick returned to his original state and became an alcoholic. As for us insiders, out of respect and gratitude for Dick, we consciously kept this secret … ”

Chenglong spoke for nearly five minutes before pausing to give Xu You time to digest his words.

After a short pause, Chenglong continued, “Originally, we, the insiders, had agreed not to reveal this secret, But recently, Victorious Continent became unstable, “As far as I know, the terrible Calamity Legion will descend on the world again. At this time, the continent needs new heroes and new warriors. So, we contacted each other again a month ago and decided to tell this secret to the powerful and lucky warriors. They might get some benefits from Dick, but it’s up to you!”

“What? Are you saying that I’m not the only one who knows this secret?” Hearing this, Xu You became anxious. How could this be?

“Yes, you’re not the only one who knows this secret. I don’t know how many people know this secret now. However, you are the first knight to know this secret from me, because you are the only warrior in my heart!” Chenglong looked at Xu You with satisfaction.

“That’s better!” Xu You thought in his heart, but he was still very anxious. He was afraid that someone in the other Novice Village would trigger this mission. His heart had already flown to City of Sunrise to find Dick, so he couldn’t miss this opportunity!

“Thank you! Uncle Chenglong, I won’t disappoint you! Then I’ll go find that Dick first. Goodbye!” After saying that, Xu You hurriedly ran away.

“Haha, this brat! Good luck!” Chenglong looked at Xu Youyuan’s figure and smiled. He could understand Xu You’s current mood and fate in life. When you truly met him, who would be able to face him calmly?

Very quickly, Xu You returned to the Misty Forest camp. The teleportation array to Victorious Return Continent was here. Only players who had completed all the missions in Novice Village could see and use this teleportation array.

‘Ding! Welcome to the Novice Village Teleportation Array. Please choose the cities to teleport to. They are City of Sunrise, Ice and Snow Fortress, Forest of the Elves, Steel Castle, City of Recovery, and Sea Watching Cliff.’

“City of Sunrise!”

******************************

In another Novice Village.

“Sister, where are you?” Zhao Xi sent a message to her sister.

“I’m still in Novice Village. I’ll be waiting for you. Have you finished the Novice Village mission?” Zhao Chen was sitting on a tree in the forest. Too many players came to chat with her, so she had to escape from the camp and hide in a deserted place.

“We’re done. What should we do now?”

“Great, you’ve finally finished. Now go to the teleportation array and prepare to teleport.”

“Then which main city should we go to?”

“Well, wait for me to think about it … the Ice and Snow Fortress in the north is the main city of the orcs and trolls, They’re ugly, “I don’t want to go. The steel castle in the south is the territory of the dwarves and dwarves. With our human height, we shouldn’t attack anyone else. As for the resurrection city of the undead, it’s directly excluded. As for the Ox-Head Man’s Sea Gazing Cliff, it’s too high. I’m a little afraid of heights. If I don’t go, then only the elven forest and the human sunrise city are left. Xiaoxi, which one do you choose?” Zhao Chen carefully screened.

Zhao Xi thought for a moment and replied, “We are humans. Let’s go to the City of Sunrise of humans, shall we?”

“Alright, let’s go to City of Sunrise, Little Xi. It’s time for you to go out and meet more people. You always stay at home and don’t communicate with others. How can you not have your own opinions?” As Zhao Chen spoke, he couldn’t help but teach his sister a lesson.

“Alright, big sister, isn’t playing this game the same as going out now? I’ve already seen a lot of people.” Zhao Xi replied.

‘”That’s not my credit. This” new world “is indeed different from the previous games. Little Xi, you have to follow me closely. Otherwise, I’m afraid that you’ll be cheated and help me count the money.”

“Got it. Let’s go. We’ll teleport to Sunrise City! We’ll see elder sister then.” Zhao Xi said happily.

“En!”

…

As time passed, more and more players rose to level 10. They were finally able to leave Novice Village and arrive at the main cities of Victorious Return Continent. From now on, relatives, friends, classmates, and others could gather together to embark on a new journey. The “New World” would also open a new chapter. This infinite charm game was finally about to truly begin.
