Wang Dalu nodded weakly, took a deep breath, and opened his mouth: "Hiccup~!"

With a loud burp, a series of colorful bubbles emerged from his mouth, nostrils, and ears. These colorful bubbles floated out and came into contact with the air, quickly twisting and swelling in the air, transforming into the shape of transparent jellyfish, and then rapidly scattering in all directions.

The scene was so beautiful that Xiao Linlin was mesmerized and couldn't help but reach out and grab a jellyfish to play with in her hand.

The jellyfish that was caught did not resist, nor did it slip through her fingers. Instead, it spread along Xiao Linlin's palm and arm, then slid down to her face, seemingly trying to crawl into Xiao Linlin's mouth.

"ah!"

Xiao Linlin was immediately shocked and quickly shook off the jellyfish.

She dared not let the jellyfish get into her mouth, after all, Wang Dalu's example was right in front of her. Although he looked fine, his dazed and weak appearance clearly indicated that he had suffered some mental torment.

She was certain that putting the jellyfish in her mouth would have some side effects.

As for the cutting-edge technological knowledge that jellyfish can provide... Xiao Linlin wasn't very interested. After all, these were things at the level of external forces, and she could buy a lot of them through the system. There was no need to go through that trouble again.

Before long, Wang Dalu spat out all three hundred-plus jellyfish. In an instant, transparent jellyfish floated everywhere in the cave, faintly emitting a light in the darkness.

They were a bit strange; they didn't fly too far, mostly circling around Wang Dalu, which saved Jia Zhengyi the trouble of searching, and the count was completed quickly.

"There are definitely more than three hundred. Dude, try vomiting again. Do you still remember them? Don't forget any, or they'll be a problem if they parasitize you."

Jia Zhengyi asked with concern, and Wang Dalu weakly shook his head: "Gone... not a single one left... hurry, brother, chase them away, don't let them follow me."

"What's wrong? Are you scared? Do you feel disgusted?"

"No, it's a mission... a hidden mission."

Wang Dalu held onto Jia Zhengyi tightly, weakly stammering, "When we reached the hundredth jellyfish, I received a mission. I was to communicate with 100 more jellyfish within 24 hours... and then bring them to their current faction to spread [information]. Our current faction is the Underground Humans."

"Now there's only one last step: drive them away, let them make contact with the underground humans, and spread information. Then the mission will be complete!"

Wang Dalu's words startled the team members.

Hidden quest?!

That's the only bonus mission! It's unique to the Hard difficulty mode! The rewards are incredibly generous!

It's important to know that the powerful weapon Xiao Linlin is holding, the Divine Scepter, is the only reward from the mission and is a highly valuable colored weapon!

And now, Wang Dalu, this lucky guy, has actually turned misfortune into blessing by taking disaster for someone else, and has obtained the hidden mission in this difficult game!

Xiao Linlin and Su Lin exchanged a glance and quickly reminded Jia Zhengyi in their minds: "Keep him calm and help him complete the task first!"

"Alright, brother, don't be afraid. With your brother here, I'll make sure you get this last step right."

Jia Zhengyi remained calm and gently patted Wang Dalu's shoulder, signaling the elves to take action.

Ellie nodded and led the elves to cast a spell, blowing a gentle breeze to lightly drive the jellyfish deeper underground, so they could contact the underground humans, burrow into their heads, and spread information.

After doing all this, Jia Zhengyi lowered his head and asked Wang Dalu with concern, "Do you think this is okay?"

"Hmm... that should be about right."

Wang Dalu lay back down on the stretcher, taking deep breaths to calm himself down. Jia Zhengyi squinted and took the opportunity to ask, "By the way, why were all those jellyfish circling around you just now?"

"Also, what's this hidden quest you mentioned? What is it?"

Jia Zhengyi posed two different questions, feigning nonchalance, but Wang Dalu did not answer, still recovering his strength.

After a short while, Wang Dalu, who had been silent, suddenly smiled and looked up at Jia Zhengyi: "Brother, don't try to fool me. How could you not know about the hidden mission?"

"This new mechanism has already been revealed on the forum. It's a mission system unique to difficult matches. Although the missions are difficult to trigger and complete, you're following the leader, who is the strongest. How could you not know about the existence of hidden missions?"

Wang Dalu wasn't stupid; he saw through Jia Zhengyi's clichés, but his exposure had a very frank quality. Before Jia Zhengyi could even speak in his embarrassment, Wang Dalu took the initiative to say, "Brother, as soon as the reward for this hidden mission arrives, I'll give it to you."

“I am not an ungrateful person. Even if the hidden mission rewards are very generous, I feel that it is far less important than the attention and help my older brother has given me.”

"oh?!"

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhengyi looked at Wang Dalu with some surprise, scrutinizing him from head to toe, seemingly pondering the truth of his words in a state of shock.

Xiao Linlin, standing nearby, spoke up crisply: "Big brother, you don't need to give us the mission reward. My brother doesn't need these things."

“We’re just curious what you’ll get. My brother already has enough assets; he won’t steal his friends’ wealth.”

Xiao Linlin politely declined, her attitude was sincere and her words were very reasonable.

Why would a tycoon with nearly 10 billion in assets care about a hidden reward, even if it's a colored one? It's just a few tens of millions!

Only Su Lin could tell that this girl was still testing him.

She wasn't testing Wang Dalu's true feelings; after all, the strongest's favor is more valuable than anything else. Xiao Linlin was testing Wang Dalu's other secrets.

"No, one thing at a time."

Wang Dalu lay on the stretcher, shaking his head with a resolute attitude: "I only came in to try my luck in this match; it's rare that I'm so lucky to have met a big brother, and he's even willing to help me out. The fact that this mission was triggered and completed is all thanks to his team."

"Without my elder brother, I would never have been able to handle this kind of mission in my entire life. Ultimately, this mission belongs to my elder brother; I just happened to act as a medium."

Wang Dalu looked at Su Lin with sincere eyes. He knew that no matter who he communicated with, it did not represent the final decision.

Only this man, who remained silent and uncommitted, was the one in control of everything.

"Brother, I may not be able to give you some of the bonus rewards that come with this mission, but as for the rest, I will definitely not hold back anything I can give you."

Wang Dalu said in a low voice, "You know me. I may not be a big shot, but I do have principles."

"Um."

Upon hearing this, Su Lin simply nodded calmly, neither refusing nor agreeing.

Xiao Linlin squinted, sensing something was amiss.

"Brother Mainland, you just said... 'You really met my brother,' did I mishear you?"
