Chapter 002: Novice Mission Failed



There were some legends in the alley outside the back door of Qi Lin's university. It was said that a boy was robbed when he was walking alone at night, and he refused to pay and was stabbed to death. Afterwards, it was discovered that the criminal was an international student in the school. As a result, all the other students in that boy's dormitory were admitted to graduate school.

So this road is also called the "road to guaranteed admission to graduate school." It is said that every university once had a road to guaranteed admission to graduate school. Qi Lin does not know the truth.

Anyway, he just punched the monster to death and didn't investigate the story behind it.

Qi Lin regretted this very much.

Because he discovered that these weirdos did not become weird because they wanted to be weird. Many of them had been treated extremely badly in their lives and hurt others because they were dissatisfied.

Of course, Qi Lin also knew that he should take revenge when there is revenge, and he should take grievances when there is grievance. He had been treated unfairly, and after gaining power, he persecuted other ordinary people. This behavior itself was wrong.

So he didn't show any mercy.

However, after Qi Lin has mastered the power to communicate with these monsters, he will find out why they have become like this, and by the way, punish the culprit who caused these monsters to appear.

Now that these three tasks have appeared, Qi Lin should choose one of them and complete it in order to get the reward.

This is just a novice mission.

But that's the problem.

Each of these three tasks is located in a supernatural location that Qi Lin has already explored, but the monsters there are already dead. How can this task be completed?

In other words, the weirdness in those places has not been completely eliminated by myself, and there are still some remnants?

Qi Lin began to think about this possibility.

After all, this system is much more mysterious than anything weird. He feels that a professional cheater should be brave enough to make a judgment, as there might really be some problems.

After thinking about it, Qi Lin changed the channel to [Walking Alone in the Dark Alley].

This place is right next to his university, and Qi Lin has not yet confirmed the cause of the strangeness there, so he is obsessed with it.

Qi Lin felt that if he wanted to make further progress, he must resolve this inner demon.

Press the button, and the originally still picture begins to jump out of noise, and the melody like that of an old radio echoes in the living room.

Qi Lin saw that the text had changed to form a more specific task description. He skipped over the unnecessary details and looked directly at the task objective.

[Mission objective: at midnight, pass through the dark alley]

[Mission objective: Eliminate the monsters in the dark alley]

[Mission objective: survive]

"???"

Three question marks appeared above Qi Lin’s head.

The weird things that existed in the dark alley had long been crushed to ashes by myself. Three years had passed, and I was afraid that even the braised chicken rice at the entrance of the alley had a new owner. How could there be anything weird about it?

He felt that this mission was a hindrance to him.

But curiosity still prompted Qi Lin to search the Internet for the situation there. What if there really was something strange going on?

Then Qi Lin discovered that in the three years since he graduated, everything had changed dramatically.

The reason why the alley behind the school existed was that there was an old and dilapidated residential area opposite it, and the issue of demolition compensation could not be settled, so it had been delayed.

Later, perhaps because Qi Lin made too much noise when he was solving the strange problem over there, people thought there was going to be an earthquake, so the residents of the old and dilapidated house agreed to the demolition. Now that place has been razed to the ground and the building has been built.

The alley no longer exists because the school has expanded in a circle. The road is now a main road in the school. It is brightly lit at night, and only some couples who can't hold back will hold hands and walk there to feed the mosquitoes.

As for any weirdness or urban legends, they don't exist.

“Isn’t the latency of this system a bit high?”

Qi Lin was puzzled.

But he is a pragmatic person, so he definitely has to go and take a look.

He kept his word and immediately went outside the school, called his classmates who were still studying for a doctorate, and asked them to take him into the campus.

This student's hair is almost falling out. It seems that studying for a doctorate is really hard.

When night fell and the lights came on, Qi Lin, who had eaten in the cafeteria, came to the original location of the alley.

There were members of the roller skating club playing music for club activities, there were couples studying, and there were singles who were getting ready to play online games after dinner.

Qi Lin found a quiet corner and waited quietly.

It was late at night, and the students returned to their dormitories one after another. The security guards began patrolling the school with flashlights.

Sitting on the chair, looking at the security guard approaching not far away, he had an idea.

The security guard's flashlight swept across the bench, but he seemed not to see Qi Lin at all and just walked past him blankly.

Having reached Qi Lin's level, he can completely block out other people's perception and make them ignore him.

Time passed minute by minute, and as it approached twelve o'clock, the dormitory gradually became quiet after the lights were turned off, and the entire campus was as quiet and peaceful as if it had fallen into a deep sleep.

Qi Lin's eyes sparkled, and he activated his clairvoyance. With this power, he could see those hidden unclean things and make nothing strange escape his sight.

However, after he explored this place, Qi Lin found that there was nothing here.

There is nothing weird or unclean, just a few cockroaches.

Southern cockroach, quite big one.

"Is it that I didn't make a mistake, but the system did?"

Qi Lin came to the road where the alley was originally located. At midnight, he walked around.

[At midnight, walking through the dark alley: 0/1]

[Eliminate the monsters in the dark alley: 0/1]

[Survived: 1/1]

Good god, I didn’t even complete the most basic task, so I just survived.

He turned around again.

The mission target remains motionless.

Qi Lin was completely confused.

Oh no, will I never be able to complete this novice mission?

This feeling is like when you have worked hard on the sword god of Shilipo for hundreds of hours and become invincible, and then you go out and encounter the BOSS of the Novice Village. You can obviously kill it with one sword, but the condition for passing the level is to attack the BOSS three times.

I got up and killed him in one second. What's there to say?

Stuck at level.

This feeling was like a thorn in his throat. Qi Lin felt as if countless ants were crawling on his heart.

Anxious Qi Lin walked around the school, not knowing whether college life had gotten better these days or the feng shui of the area had changed, there wasn't even a sign of something weird.

It's so safe.

"What should I do now?"

Qi Lin was very upset.

It’s like if you haven’t completed your novice mission, no matter how powerful you become in the future, there will always be a red dot on the interface to remind you that it’s time to complete the novice mission.

The thief is uncomfortable.

He waited until dawn, but still failed to solve the problem.

This was the first time in three years that Qi Lin suffered from insomnia.

Early in the morning, students who got up early began their morning exercises or went to the library to reserve seats. Qi Lin sat on a bench and looked at the world.

Suddenly, inspiration struck him.

"If there's no dark alley and no monsters for me to deal with, then can't I just create one in this school?"
