As the mechanical electronic voice, audible only to the player, rang out, long stretches of text information floated in front of the player, while the generous rewards in the mission were enough to drive everyone into a frenzy.
Monster eggs, spells, magic, novelty seeds...
"Accept the mission."
Nian Fengran and Jiang Wenyan, who were carrying bricks, looked up, their eyes shining with determination.
"No way? The planners are being so generous?! There's actually a mission here?!"
Liu Niannian, struggling to navigate through the crowd, gasped and stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
"Is this the magic I'm thinking of???"
Yang Shu, who still had a squid leg in his mouth, froze. After three seconds of calm, he raised his cleaver and charged into the crowd.
"Awoooooo—For the Horde! Charge!!!"
Three seconds later, Yang Shu's figure disappeared into the surging crowd. After being mercilessly trampled, the lotus root that belonged to Yang Shu turned into a white light and dissipated on the ground.
[Ding-dong]
[Player "I am your father" died in a stampede. The death cooldown period was cancelled during the event, and the player has been resurrected.]
Xu Milu covered her eyes in pain.
This guy must be trying to be funny.
"Young boss, how about we go for a collaboration?"
Fu Xuan immediately recognized Lola standing on the turtle's back and suggested with a smile, "I studied architecture in college, and I've been studying the irrigation system of Orok Island carefully these past few days. I know which mountain the water source ends on, and I also exercise regularly, so that should be considered an advantage."
"In architecture?"
Xu Milu understood after a moment's thought, and immediately turned to Lola and said:
“We’ll divide the work. I’ll destroy that rose carriage, and he’ll lead you to the end of the water source. My other brethren will clear the way for you. You plant the elven tree seed at the end of the water source and water it with this—”
She held a small, emerald-green jade bottle tightly in her hand, a single drop of crystal-clear nectar rolling inside, as if it were alive.
Xu Milu shoved the bottle into Lola's arms. In the urgency of the situation, Lola didn't have time to ask what was in the bottle; she immediately chose to unconditionally trust Xu Milu.
—In the twilight, the black-haired friend's eyes were full of determination, with a reassuring certainty. Perhaps it was the twilight that made her pupils shimmer with a faint golden light.
"Don't worry, I will bring Overland back safely. Your friend is my friend, he will be fine!"
"Watch out, my friend."
Lola nodded solemnly, turned around, picked up Fu Xuan, who was a head taller than her, and jumped over him like a chick, and the two of them landed on another broken float.
“Ugly, leave the planting of the fairy tree to Lola, let’s go find that rose carriage.”
Xu Milu squatted down and patted Achou. The dark green giant tortoise let out an excited howl and strode forward with an arrogant gait, pushing through the crowd.
"Gagagagaga!!"
...
...
"Long live Oroq!"
"Long live Grand Duke Oroq..."
"Orok... Awooooo... Help me..."
The agonizing Orok people knelt and wailed, as countless black rose branches sprouted from their skin, nourished by their flesh and blood. The people began to attack everyone indiscriminately.
Lola carried Fu Xuan as they leaped over the heads of the crowd, countless rose branches swaying wildly. The irrational Orok people reached out to grab the human and the elf, making it almost impossible for them to move.
"Damn it!! We're surrounded! And we can't use magic!"
Lola cursed in frustration. A red light appeared in her palm, but it quickly disappeared—among the rose puppets were even some of her own kind, and she simply couldn't bring herself to harm the innocent.
Just as she was caught in a dilemma, a group of dark-haired men suddenly emerged from the crowd, shouting in a language Lola couldn't understand:
“？'shiauwmzhaj;yzq:~!”
{Awooooo! I'm here!!}
"dhaj,y~a:a;\"x@!!!!\"......&&"
{You dog-like planner, you've finally shown some humanity! To avoid running around shirtless! Here I come, you little brat!}
{Lola, here I come! Aaaaaah! My new wife has appeared! How can I stand still?!}
{Pretty girl, I'm here! I'm here!}
Thanks to the players' remaining sense of shame and the system's restrictions, even more outrageous and shameless words failed to emerge.
The players were like wild dogs that had broken free of their reins, moving against the flow of the surging crowd. They looked like fish swimming upstream, some holding long sticks and others carrying shovels, fighting desperately to "cut" their way through the crowd.
—Liu Niannian even somehow obtained a thick hemp rope, which she and two other players tied to the tail of the golden tortoise slave to clear a path:
"Make way! Make way! We're not responsible if you get hit and killed!!! 'Wind Chaser,' you draw the fire, 'Little Zhuang,' you watch your positioning. This thing is much easier than driving a car, just ride on it and pat its butt!"
This almost absurd move actually worked. The Golden Tortoise Slave, provoked, charged wildly through the crowd, leaving the Orok Dwarfs, who were completely disoriented, scattered all over the ground.
— Liu Niannian, a ten-year online gamer, keeps his achievements and fame hidden.
[The Little Conch Shell Blows in the Wind] Unfortunately surrounded by puppets, even with a broken arm, he still remembered to complete the mission and shouted at Lola to hurry up.
"These people—could they be mercenaries hired by Milu? This is simply unbelievable!"
Lola was speechless with surprise. Her eyes were filled with disbelief as she looked at the players. Clearly, she couldn't understand how Xu Milu had managed to make these people so loyal to her to the death.
(Xu Milu: It's a reward! I gave out a reward!)
Although she couldn't understand what the player was saying, Lola was still shocked by the other person's fearlessness in the face of death.
She glanced deeply at the player lying on the ground, nodded solemnly, her eyes filled with admiration:
"Black-haired warriors! You are friends of the elves, and the elves will forever remember your sacrifice!!"
Liu Niannian looked back and let out a loud cry:
Why isn't that white-haired woman leaving? Is the dungeon countdown not over yet?
The fallen "Little Conch Shell" was covered in shoe prints on its face, and it became extremely agitated:
{Hey, you white-haired sprite, get out of here! Is this really a hero?? How can she be so clueless? Even with human guides, she doesn't know to follow the main quest! Aww—brothers, I'm dying now, see you at the dam later!}
Fu Xuan quickly reviewed the terrain of Orok Island. Just as he successfully determined the end of the water source and pointed out the target location, a loud noise suddenly came from the plaza not far away:
"boom!!!"
Lola turned around instantly and saw that it was in the direction Xu Milu had disappeared. She couldn't help but take a few steps forward, her face showing worry.
Although she was very worried about her friend, she couldn't just watch these black-haired heroes sacrifice themselves in vain. Lola gritted her teeth, wiped away her tears, and ran towards the place Fu Xuan had pointed out.
"Damn it! Milu, you bastard! You absolutely have to survive!!!"
