Chapter 524 Pinggu Star
Meng Qingyin thought she would return to the train, but the scenery around her blurred, and she was still in the sea!
She wasn't teleported out of the mini-game!
What happened?
Is it a system bug?
still……
Has some powerful being behind the scenes made a move against her?
Meng Qingyin took a deep breath to calm herself down.
She opened her friends list and messaged Chen Leying: "Have you gotten back to the highway yet?"
Chen Leying replied quickly, still as perceptive as ever: "You're back—what happened to you?"
The message could still be sent, and Meng Qingyin breathed a sigh of relief. Since she could still contact the person, it meant that the second possibility was not true.
Mengmeng: "It's probably a system bug. I'm still in the sea. It's okay, I'll ask 007. Don't worry."
How could Chen Leying not be worried?
Chen Leying: "Okay, you should ask 007 quickly. I'll also go and find out if any other players have encountered the same situation as you."
Meng Qingyin immediately contacted 007: "007, I'm stuck in a mini-game. Is there a bug in the system? Can you fix it now?"
007 replied quickly: "It's not a bug, please wait a moment."
Meng Qingyin was stunned.
Not a bug?
Moreover, 007 seemed to be implying something.
Could it really be the work of some deity?
Just as Meng Qingyin was lost in thought, she suddenly received a task notification.
【Exclusive Quest: The Lost Mermaid Pearl: Players who evolve into a mermaid in the mini-game can unlock this unique hidden quest.】
Task Details: Find the lost mermaid pearl (click to view image) and deliver it to ? ?. (Note: Please do not reveal the details of this task.)
Task time limit: 24 hours.
Mission Reward: A huge reward awaits upon completion of the mission; there is no penalty for failure. Regardless of mission success or failure, you will return to the highway after 24 hours.
A special mission?
This seems to be the reason why 007 has remained silent.
Mermaids and their pearls...
Meng Qingyin's gaze darkened.
All of this points to the Merfolk—a clan so mysterious that even Ye Yingjun knows nothing about them.
It seems that everything, including this little game, was the work of the Merfolk God.
Is he/she making such a big fuss just to find the so-called mermaid pearl?
Unfortunately, she knew very little about the Merfolk and had no information about the Merfolk Pearl.
Fortunately, you can see what the mermaid pearl looks like in the mission details.
Meng Qingyin has decided to take on this exclusive mission.
According to the task description, this task is unique across the entire server, and completing it will yield huge rewards.
Even if she didn't do the mission, she would still have to wait 24 hours to get back to the highway, so she might as well give it a shot and complete the mission.
She was eager to see just how generous this "huge reward" really was.
Just as Meng Qingyin was about to contact Chen Leying to tell her not to worry anymore, messages from Chen Leying and Qin Jiu arrived.
It has to be said that the three of them are quite in sync at times.
Chen Leying: "I just inquired, and at least no players in our region have encountered your situation. Have you contacted 007? Did they say when this bug will be fixed?"
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "I just heard Chen Leying say that you're trapped in the Colorful Seas. What happened? Is someone trying to harm you? Could it be one of the players you ate?"
Meng Qingyin replied to each of them: "I'm fine. It's not a system bug, so don't worry. It's because I successfully evolved into a shark, so I unlocked an exclusive mission. I can go back in 24 hours."
Meng Qingyin did not disclose the details of the mission.
Chen Leying: "Okay, then you need to be extra careful when you do the task."
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "What a stupid mission! They didn't explain it clearly from the beginning. Weren't they just trying to scare us? Luckily, it was just a false alarm... I hope there's no danger. If you encounter any danger, just abandon the mission. Nothing is more important than your life."
Meng Qingyin didn't know if this mission was dangerous, but...
This task seems impossible to abandon; there's no "reject task" option in the task description.
She comforted Qin Jiu for a couple of minutes, then prepared to start the mission.
However, all she knew was that she needed to find the lost mermaid pearl; she had no other clues.
And who is the person who delivers the mission? That's too mysterious. Could it be the Merfolk God?
Forget it, let's figure out how to find the lost mermaid pearl first.
Meng Qingyin clicked to view the picture of the mermaid pearl.
Even though the photo quality isn't very clear, the peacock blue glass bead is still captivating.
The pearls are small, only the size of a grape, with a faint luster all over them, smooth and lustrous, making them look very precious.
Meng Qingyin speculated that this might be a relatively rare and precious gemstone among the merfolk.
Now that this gem is lost, do you want her to help you find it?
But if this is a gem of the Merfolk, why should a player like her be the one to search for it?
Meng Qingyin shook her head, no longer thinking about these questions. These were not the key points. All she needed to do was find the mermaid pearl and give it to that mysterious person.
Since the pearls were easily recognizable, Meng Qingyin decided to ask the marine animals first to see if they had any clues.
Suddenly, her gaze froze.
Then, Meng Qingyin stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the information on the panel.
She is not currently in the Colorful Sea, but on Pinggu Star, the Sea of Hope.
She had heard the name Pinggu Xing from Ye Yingjun.
This is the planet inhabited by the five supreme gods!
She actually came to Pinggu Star!
The Sea of Hope... must be the place where the merfolk live.
Meng Qingyin's gaze became somewhat complicated.
The only person who could transfer her to Pinggu Star without making a sound is that of the Merfolk's God Lord.
Based on this, it seems that the mysterious person was the Lord of the Merfolk.
What exactly is the Mermaid Pearl that would allow the Mermaid God to so openly issue her a mission?
Do the other four gods know this?
Where do they each live on this planet?
Meng Qingyin's heart was beating faster and faster.
Could she go and see the scenery of Pinggu Star?
The thought that she might be able to see the planet where the gods lived prompted her to immediately swim towards the surface of the sea.
Instead of going on a mission, we should go out and explore; we might find some unexpected discoveries.
But to Meng Qingyin's disappointment, she was unable to leave the Sea of Hope.
More accurately, there was an invisible barrier on the water's surface that blocked her.
It seems that the Merfolk God had already thought of this.
Since she couldn't leave, Meng Qingyin continued with her mission despite her regret.
