Chapter 129 Side Quest: Wanquan Island

Xiao Xiao was the happiest when Shen Jue arrived.

She couldn't wait any longer.

She ran out of her house to greet Shen Jue's visit.

Because Zhi Jiu was present, Xiao Xiao only ran out and greeted Shen Jue.

Not too excited, she rushed into Chen Jue's arms for a hug.

After Grandpa and Shen Jue finished exchanging pleasantries, Zhi Jiu headed towards the clan's main hall.

The rabbit tribe's buildings blend seamlessly with their surroundings.

The natural and refreshing style is pleasing to the eye, and living in such an environment every day would make the rabbits in the tribe happy.

Shen Jue also got to know quite a few rabbits here.

As soon as she came in, the red, white, blue, gray, and white rabbits all recognized her.

"I know her. She's the pretty older sister who saved Xiao Xiao last time. She looks even prettier this time."

"I heard from my elders that many humans claiming to be players have come to the Sea World, and the pretty lady is also a player."

"However, there are good and bad players. If I don't go to sleep, my mom will scare me and say that if I don't go to sleep, the players in the sea world will capture me and eat me."

"I know Mom was lying to me. Why would players eat us?"

Shen Jue could hear everything the rabbits were saying to each other.

Shen Jue thought for a moment, recalling the various ways people in the human world could eat spicy rabbit heads and braised rabbit meat.

These little rabbits aren't vigilant enough, and their understanding of the players isn't comprehensive enough.

Luckily, she doesn't eat rabbit.

Upon entering the open-air hall, there is a long table in a row.

The table was covered with all kinds of vegetables and fruits, as well as various snacks. I don't know where they got all these things from.

Such an island, with so many vegetables, fruits, and snacks, must be a treasure of the rabbit tribe, showing how much they valued their arrival.

Shen Jue suddenly felt that the gifts she had prepared were not valuable enough.

She was wondering whether she should increase the stakes.

I'll find out later what materials Master Zhi Jiu needs when making cards.

Perhaps she could offer help with card-making materials. If they need tools, Shen Jue could also procure them for them.

After Zhi Jiu took his seat, he invited Shen Jue to take his seat as well.

Shen Jue didn't stand on ceremony and sat down to chat with Zhi Jiu.

The two had a very pleasant conversation, and halfway through, Shen Jue asked her a question that she was curious about.

"Master, it seems you are the only elder of the rabbit clan. Is this place usually safe? Where are the little rabbits' relatives? If it's inconvenient for you, please pretend I didn't say anything and let's continue our conversation."

Zhi Jiu drank a cup of wine. "Have you forgotten what race we are? We rabbits can make cards. As for safety, we are protected by a barrier, so there won't be any problems."

"It's alright to tell you about the rabbits' relatives. The younger generation's relatives are not on the island during the day. They all go to work on another island and only come back at night."

“I see, Master. The card you gave me last time helped me a lot. To express my gratitude, I’ve come to give you a gift.”

Shen Jue waved her hand and placed the gift she had prepared in advance on the open ground to the left of the outdoor dining table.

The supplies she dropped instantly filled the empty space.

"These are some vegetables and snacks that I specially grew, which are somewhat helpful for restoring mental strength. On the other side are some sets of defensive equipment. I hope you won't mind the small amount of gifts, Master."

"Thank you for your trouble. Come, try my homemade nectar. It is absolutely the finest wine."

Master Zhijiu poured a cup, and then the exquisite jade-colored wine pot in his hand flew up automatically and stopped in front of Shen Jue, pouring her a cup of wine.

"Come, let's drink together."

Shen Jue picked up his wine glass and took a small sip.

The first sip of this fermented rice wine is mellow and sweet. With a second sip, the aftertaste is spicy but not irritating, leaving a lingering and unforgettable flavor that makes you want to take another sip. "What a fine wine!"

Master Zhijiu, you must be very happy. When you're happy, you might drink too much. "Of course, this is a fine wine that I've treasured for 50 years."

One cup of wine after another was poured from the jade bottle; at least a dozen cups had been poured so far. However, the bottle of wine was still not empty.

Shen Jue guessed that this wine pot might contain a secret, with an inexhaustible supply of wine, and was probably the work of Master Zhi Jiu.

Otherwise, it would be a waste to produce only a small bottle of wine over 50 years, enough to fill two or three glasses.

Since Master Zhijiu can create spatial cards, he can naturally modify wine flasks to create small spatial devices inside. This operation is almost effortless for him, extremely easy.

When the atmosphere was just right, Zhi Jiu saw that the time was about right and said what she had always wanted to say.

"Shen Jue, I have a request, and I hope you can grant it."

Familiar words... Does this mean another side quest is coming?

Shen Jue composed herself. Although the wine had made her slightly drunk, she was still of sound mind.

I know that what Ji-gu is about to say might be very important.

"Yes, Master, please speak!"

Zhi Jiu: "Let me think about it, let me think about how I should say it."

Shen Jue remained silent, quietly awaiting Master Zhi Jiu's next words.

Zhi Jiu thought and thought, and finally organized his thoughts.

"Here's the thing: a while ago, Xiaoxiao's parents went out and never came back. So I'd like to ask you to help me find her parents and bring them back if possible."

"Sigh! Little one, she always keeps everything to herself and never tells me. Of course, I won't ask for your help for nothing. If you're willing to take on this task, I'll give you a treasure chest as a reward after it's completed."

Master Zhijiu, worried that Xiaoxiao's parents might have met with an accident, has issued you a quest to find them. Do you wish to accept this quest?

Faced with such a task, how could Shen Jue possibly give up?

Of course I'll accept it! There are so many side quests!

She never wants too many side quests. She hasn't even finished the previous two side quests yet. To this day, the secret of the Merfolk is still stuck at 10%, and the ultimate mystery of the Black Sea is stuck at 85%.

She wanted to use the task given to her by Master Zhijiu to make up for the rewards from the tasks she hadn't completed before.

Shen Jue agreed without hesitation.

After accepting a side quest, the side quest section changed.

Side Quest 1: Find Xiaoxiao's parents.

Side Quest 2: Bring back the baby's parents.

Zhi Jiu only gave her one side quest, but the system assigned her two side quests.

Receiving two tasks at once means that if she completes them, she can get two treasure chests as a reward.

That's great.

However, before finding Xiaoxiao's parents, she needs to consult Master Zhijiu about the situation.

For example, where did they all go, and when was the last time they saw him? Which island did they go to, and why did they not return? And what are the characteristics of the little boy's parents?

"Master, I accept this task, but I need to know a few things about Xiaoxiao's parents... that's about it. By the way, what are their habits? What do they do when they encounter danger? I need to know this because it's very important to me. I can only set off after I understand everything!"

"They set off for Wanquan Island a few days ago to celebrate Xiaoxiao's birthday and prepare a gift for her."

The original plan was for three days. Before they left, they made an agreement with me that if they didn't return within three days, I would send someone to look for them. Now more than three days have passed, and they still haven't returned. I'm a little worried about them.

"Oh, right, take this with you. It's a plush toy sensor for the little parents."

If you arrive at Wanquan Island, where you can feel the presence of your parents, this plush sensor can guide you to find them.

Shen Jue took the hair sensor handed to him by Master Zhi Jiu. This hair sensor was a small, round, white ball.
