Chapter 153 Rewards: Internal Strength Manual!
Qin Jiu had already fainted in Night Demon's hands. Lu Cheng was extremely anxious, so he simply picked up a dagger and rushed forward to stab Night Demon in the wound on his leg.
The dagger pierced deep into flesh, and Night Demon shuddered in pain, releasing his grip.
Qin wine fell to the ground.
Night Demon kicked Lu Cheng away and then went to grab Qin Jiu.
I, being incredibly unlucky, kept banging my head in desperation, crying out, "Think of something! Think of something!"
Suddenly, he remembered something, took out a small pill from his backpack, and swallowed it in one gulp.
Then, he looked at Meng Qingyin and asked eagerly, "Which of your two pets is more powerful in its adult form?"
Meng Qingyin looked weak: "...Baby."
With a flick of his finger, a golden light suddenly emanated from his hand, transforming into a phantom golden sphere that enveloped the cub.
I, being an unlucky person, rolled my eyes and fainted.
Meng Qingyin was shocked, but had no time to pay attention to him.
The little one inside the golden ball looked pained, and Meng Qingyin was anxious. What did I, the unlucky one, do?
Soon, the cub's limbs and head grew rapidly, from the size of a sheep to the size of a tiger, and then from the size of a tiger to the size of an elephant.
It burst through the golden sphere in an instant.
At the same time, the cub's blue fur became even shinier and smoother, and its horns on its head became large and thick.
Meng Qingyin was stunned.
Could this be...?
The baby's adult form?
The next moment, feeling the immense pressure, the Night Demon threw Qin Jiu away and turned to run away.
The little one pounced forward with such force that it knocked the Night Demon to the ground with a loud bang, crushing a cluster of trees nearby.
The cub didn't give the Night Demon a chance to resist, biting down on the back of its neck. The Night Demon didn't even have time to let out a final cry of pain before it died.
They were no match for the little one at all.
After defeating the Night Demon, Zai Zai immediately returned to Meng Qingyin's side, crying out in a mournful voice, "Master, I killed that bad guy, you'll be alright, won't you?"
As it spoke, it lowered its head and approached Meng Qingyin.
Meng Qingyin struggled to raise her hand and stroked its head as before, then closed her eyes, her hand slipping limply to the ground.
Before she lost consciousness, she seemed to hear a notification and announcement that the mission was completed.
Players Chen Leying, Mengmeng, Liejiu Jiaochou, Wo Shi Ouhuang (Qiongshi version), and Wo Shi Feiqiu have completed the hidden quest in the secret realm. This secret realm will now be permanently open to all players! Players can team up to explore the secret realm after paying a certain reward.
The announcement was issued three times in a row.
The chat area became lively again.
Century Egg and Lean Pork Congee: "Boss Meng is awesome!"
Guess or not: "So, was Chen Leying looking for the road to go to the secret realm? Is that secret realm located at the intersection of those two roads?"
Kai Huoyin: "Have you guys noticed? There's a new 'Secret Realm' button on the main interface. Clicking it reveals a ton of secret realms! But why are they all locked? Wasn't the one Chen Leying and the others explored already open to us?"
Black Sailboat Old Days: "The announcement says that a fee must be paid to enter. Is it because they are still discussing how to set the fee?"
Yunnan Xi: "Anyone want to team up and go in together?"
"..."
Meng Qingyin was woken up by Chen Leying after an unknown amount of time.
I slowly opened my eyes, and what I saw was blue sky and white clouds.
Then, the baby's little head came into her view.
"Master, you're finally awake! Waaah..." The little one cried with tears blurring its vision, and its body returned to its original size.
Meng Qingyin forced a smile and reassured her, "I'm fine, how are you?"
She remembers that the baby was in a lot of pain at the time.
The little one wanted to rush into her arms, but was mindful of her injury, so he just shook his head desperately and said he was fine.
Chen Leying asked with concern, "Are you alright?"
Meng Qingyin nodded, enduring the pain in her chest, and searched her surroundings with her eyes: "Where are they?"
Chen Leying frowned: "Lu Cheng is missing. Qin Jiu and Fei Qiu went to find Lu Cheng."
Meng Qingyin knew that Lu Cheng's condition couldn't be good after being kicked away by the enraged Night Demon.
A moment later, Qin Jiu and I, being unlucky, carried Lu Cheng back on a stretcher.
Lu Cheng is still unconscious, and his fate is unknown.
Qin Jiu sighed: "He's still breathing, but he has multiple fractures throughout his body."
Meng Qingyin pursed her lips: "I checked the chat area, but there's no medicine there either."
Chen Leying shook her head: "I've already received it, no."
Meng Qingyin remained silent.
I'm an unlucky person: "Hey, don't look so gloomy, you still have me, don't you?"
The two of them looked at him at the same time.
I, who am unlucky, scratched my head awkwardly: "As you probably guessed, I'm a little different from you guys."
He had already demonstrated his abilities to Meng Qingyin during that critical moment, so there was no need for him to continue hiding them now.
But he didn't want to reveal too much, "In short, I can heal your injuries, including Lu Cheng's—but I need time, and I expect to be able to treat you in about an hour."
He had already made himself clear, so Meng Qingyin and Chen Leying naturally wouldn't ask any more questions.
I, being an unlucky person, gave Meng Qingyin a small pill, saying it could relieve her pain.
Meng Qingyin swallowed it in one gulp, and the pain in her ribs was indeed relieved.
Once the hidden quest is completed, the duration of the Secret Realm Gate will be refreshed, so there's no need to worry about not being able to exit.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and began to check the rewards for completing the task.
The cub then went to gnaw on the Night Demon's corpse, and as it gnawed, it unearthed the Night Demon's Heart.
Seeing this, I, who am unlucky, said, "Give this Night Demon Heart to Mengmeng. If it weren't for her pet, we would all be dead here."
Chen Leying and Qin Jiu naturally disagreed.
As for Lu Cheng, who was unconscious—since he was already unconscious, he certainly wouldn't object.
Therefore, Meng Qingyin put away the Night Demon Heart.
As for the rewards for clearing the secret realm for all four players, they are all the same: [Internal Strength Manual].
Qin Jiu held the manual with a look of surprise, "An internal energy cultivation manual? There are such things in games?"
I'm an unlucky player: "Are we playing a proper survival game? How come there are even cheat codes? Are we going to get a secret manual later on?"
Looking at the familiar road, Meng Qingyin's mind flashed back to her own dark, grimy face.
The secret manual is great, but there's a risk of going astray and becoming possessed by evil spirits!
"It would be best if this manual were still..."
I'll use it when I'm alone. I didn't even have time to say the rest before I excitedly used the cheat code, even though I'm unlucky.
Meng Qingyin: "..."
I am the die in front of the unlucky player; naturally, no one else can see me.
Soon, his exclamation rang out: "Huh? The first level of the internal energy cultivation technique? I've gained a free attribute point! Keep going, keep going!"
Qin Jiu and Chen Leying were completely baffled.
Meng Qingyin closed her eyes, unable to bear watching.
Oh no, I'm so unlucky, I've been tricked, and I'm about to go crazy.
Over here, I, the unlucky one, shouted "Continue!" four times in a row before saying with some regret, "Huh? The training is over? But getting five free attribute points is not bad."
Meng Qingyin suddenly opened her eyes. "It's over? You didn't suffer a qi deviation?"
I, the unlucky one, looked down at her and asked in confusion, "Huh? Why would you go berserk?"
Meng Qingyin was speechless for a moment.
Why not?
Is this internal energy cultivation manual also based on appearance?
Chen Leying's subsequent actions confirmed her suspicions.
Chen Leying used the internal energy manual and successfully gained five free attribute points, without suffering a qi deviation.
Meng Qingyin understood; this secret manual really did depend on looks!
If it weren't for her broken ribs, Meng Qingyin would have been so angry that she would have jumped up from the ground and cursed, "This game is so unfair!"
