Online Game: You Call Him A Newbie? - Chapter 5
Chapter 5: Epic Mission? And Growth Equipment!
The person in front of him was not a player, but an NPC in the game.
Generally speaking, game NPCs would issue missions or submit missions to players in a fixed place. However, some special NPCs ran around. The one in front of Lin Feng was one of them.
It was usually very difficult to encounter such NPCs. However, once one encountered them, it meant that they could receive special missions. Moreover, the rewards for such missions were extremely abundant.
The NPC in front of Lin Feng was called Chu Kuangren. It was said that he was an NPC above level 800 (Epic).
Lin Feng remembered that there was once a player who encountered this Chu Kuangren by chance.
At that time, Chu Kuangren had given that player a Lv400 (dark gold level) mission. The rewards were so rich that even experts above Lv500 (diamond level) were extremely tempted.
The so-called dark gold level mission was actually not a single mission, but a series of missions. In other words, after completing one mission, there would be another mission until the final mission was completed.
It sounded like these dark gold level missions were especially cumbersome, but Lin Feng knew that as long as one completed all of these missions, they could be guaranteed to become a dark gold level expert in the end.
Other than dark gold level missions, ordinary players would also receive Lv100 (bronze), Lv200 (silver), and even Lv300 (gold) missions from the NPCs in the main city. After completing them, they could become experts of the corresponding level.
Therefore, when that player received the dark gold level mission, he was very happy. Although he did not complete the mission in the end, that player still became a gold level expert in the end and obtained an extremely rich reward.
When Lin Feng thought of this, he was also somewhat excited.
Although he felt that he would definitely become a divine level expert in the end, if he received some high level missions and obtained rich rewards, he could completely shorten the time he needed to level up and become stronger faster.
“I didn’t expect to encounter such a good thing.”
Lin Feng whispered with a smile and quickly walked towards Chu Kuangren.
When Lin Feng approached and looked at Chu Kuangren, he saw that the other party was an old man with messy long hair and was wearing a sheepskin fur coat.
Although he was an old man, he was not especially old and was probably around 60 years old.
Although the way he dressed was somewhat indescribable, he emitted an arrogant and unruly aura.
It was as if he was an old sword in a sheath that had been washed clean and had settled down for a long time. However, once this sword was unsheathed, it would definitely make the world lose its color.
Lin Feng had seen many experts in his previous life. He had even dealt with many experts above Lv. 900 (divine level).
However, even a divine level expert could not do what Chu Kuangren did. He hid all his sharpness and every move he made seemed to be in tune with the world.
This was a feeling of freedom.
Lin Feng looked at Chu Kuangren’s interface and took a deep breath.
Name: Chu Kuangren
Profession: Warrior
Level: ???
Data: Life Force??? Attack??? Defense???
It was said that Chu Kuangren was an epic level NPC. However, when Lin Feng saw it with his own eyes, he felt that the other party was definitely more than that.
It was probably because the level of those who saw him was too low and they could not imagine the other party’s level, so they thought that he was only an epic level expert.
At this moment, Chu Kuangren was leaning under a tree, squinting and drinking from a gourd.
Lin Feng hurriedly arrived in front of him and said respectfully, “Hello, Senior. Can I help you with anything?”
Lin Feng said his usual opening statement.
Indeed, Chu Kuangren stopped and looked at Lin Feng.
“Immortal? Uh… I do have something I need you to do.”
“It’s here! It’s here!” Lin Feng was overjoyed.
“There’s a lv400 (dark gold level)…”
When Lin Feng heard the words dark gold, his heart trembled. He had actually received such a high level mission in an instant.
However, when Chu Kuangren looked at Lin Feng, he suddenly stopped and his originally narrowed eyes widened a little.
“I didn’t expect you to be a full-timer.”
“Full-timer?” Lin Feng was stunned. Did the other party mean that he did not have a profession? “Senior, what do you mean by full-timer?”
“A full-timer…” Chu Kuangren’s eyes blurred again, as if he was immersed in his memories. After a moment, he directly stood up.
“I didn’t expect there to be a full-timer now. Not bad, young man.”
Lin Feng was somewhat puzzled.
“Senior, what does this full-timer mean?”
“Young man, you have SSS level talent, right?” Chu Kuangren looked at Lin Feng with a sharp gaze, no longer as lazy as before.
Lin Feng’s heart skipped a beat. He had actually been instantly seen through.
He recalled that when he entered the game, the system had said that SSS level talent was not restricted by professions. Could it be that full-timers were related to this?
Lin Feng asked the question in his heart.
Chu Kuangren smiled faintly. “That’s right. All SSS level talents can learn all profession skills without being restricted by professions. In other words, they are full-timers.”
Lin Feng was even more confused when he heard this.
He originally thought that the reason why he was not restricted by his profession was because of the effect of his talent. However, now that someone had told him that everyone with SSS level talents were like this, didn’t that mean that all the SSS level talents had the same effect?
“Do you think that all SSS level talents have the same effect?” Chu Kuangren seemed to have seen through Lin Feng’s confusion and asked.
Lin Feng nodded.
Chu Kuangren took a deep breath and then said, “To be honest, I actually don’t know either.”
“…” Lin Feng was somewhat speechless.
“Because I’ve only seen one other person with an SSS level talent, and he’s also a full-timer like you. As for the other full-timers, I’ve never heard of them. That’s why I said that.”
“In other words, there are more people with SSS level talents. Then, where is this guy now?”
Lin Feng hurriedly asked. To be honest, although he knew the effect of his talent, he still had many questions. For example, he wanted to know how to change his profession after level ten, how to match his equipment in the future… These were all questions he had.
Seeing that Lin Feng had asked him a question, Chu Kuangren smiled. “You’re still too far away from that guy now. Don’t think too much and focus on your current path first.”
Lin Feng was shocked and instantly understood.
That’s right. He always felt that he had been reborn as a divine level expert, so he always placed his sights especially high. After all, wasn’t it a huge taboo for one to bite off more than one could chew?
It was indeed time for him to refocus and take every step steadily.
“Thank you for your guidance, Senior!” Lin Feng hurriedly cupped his hands and thanked the other party.
Chu Kuangren waved his hand. “It’s alright. I also know what you’re puzzled by. Coincidentally, I have a level 800 (Epic) mission here. As long as you take it, you should be able to resolve most of your problems.”
When Lin Feng heard this, he took a deep breath and suppressed his restless heart.
As long as he successfully completed the epic level mission, he could directly reach the epic level!
At this moment, a panel appeared in front of Lin Feng.
[Chu Kuangren’s epic level mission has been triggered. Do you accept?]
Lin Feng decisively chose yes.
“Since you’ve already accepted the mission, I’ll give you a few more pieces of equipment.” Chu Kuangren continued.
Lin Feng’s mouth was almost crooked from smiling. The other party had given him an epic level mission and he was even giving him equipment now. Was he that lucky?
A few more interface boxes popped up in front of Lin Feng.
[Received the Ice Crystal Scepter (Silver)]
[Received the Madman Armor (Silver)]
“Thank you, Senior.” Lin Feng hurriedly thanked him.
Chu Kuangren waved his hand. “Since you’ve accepted the mission and I’ve given you the equipment, it’s also time for me to leave.”
As soon as Chu Kuangren finished speaking, the space he was in actually fluctuated like water. Then, Chu Kuangren’s body slowly dissipated before finally disappearing into thin air.
Seeing him disappear, Lin Feng also took a deep breath. It was definitely impossible for anyone other than a divine level expert to do this!
However, he did not think too much about it. It was best for him to take things steadily.
Lin Feng looked at the two pieces of equipment Chu Kuangren had given him and was shocked again when he saw the attributes on the interface.
[Weapon: Ice Crystal Scepter]
[Quality: Silver]
[Wearing level requirement: None]
[Magic Attack: 80]
[Effect: A spell attack that will reduce the target’s speed by 30%.]
[Remark: Growth-type equipment]
…
[Armor: Madman Armor]
[Quality: Silver]
[Wearing level requirement: None]
[Health: Increases 100% of your health.]
[Effect: After leaving the battle for a minute, recover 1% of your health every second.]
[Remark: Growth-type equipment]
“A growth-type equipment!” Lin Feng took a deep breath. “As expected of the equipment Chu Kuangren gave me. Although it’s only a silver level equipment, its attributes are not inferior to a gold level equipment. Moreover, it’s a growth-type equipment.”
As the name suggested, growth equipment could be upgraded. After reaching a certain level, it would be automatically upgraded!
Lin Feng remembered that such equipment only existed in the hands of those divine level experts in his previous life. Moreover, not every divine level expert had it. After all, if one wanted to obtain such equipment, they had to have heaven-defying opportunities.
Lin Feng looked at the two equipment and liked them more and more. He believed that with these two equipment, he would really be able to insta-kill whoever he saw in the beginner village.
