Chapter 275 Three Directions, Region-wide Mission
[Use "Talent Suppression" to suppress Gongsun Ban's talent skill—Powerful Plunder!]
[Forceful Plunder: When a player is weakened or injured, this skill can be used to forcefully plunder half of the player's inventory within three meters!]
Gongsun Ban's talent has been suppressed; his skills are ineffective today!
Ji Xinghan felt a little better.
Regardless of whether Gongsun Ban is behind it or not, let's test the waters first!
After washing up and having breakfast with Jiang Youyou, she started the RV.
While driving, she scrolled through chat channels and suddenly noticed something unusual:
"Oh no, most of the people we helped got sick after yesterday's gathering!"
"Get ill?"
"Yes, they all had lifeless eyes, lay paralyzed in bed, neither eating nor drinking nor moving, let alone going on adventures or even driving. When asked, they said they were too lazy to do anything. When you tried to scare them, they said they didn't care and were indifferent to life and death."
"...Isn't this the legendary 'retirement'?"
"It's one person giving up, but now so many people are doing it together, that's clearly a problem!"
Slack off?
Another new virus?
Ji Xinghan was taken aback. Something was wrong. This seemed to be a low-level version of the "Breaking Illusion" virus!
While the players were chatting enthusiastically, she discovered that seven or eight guilds that had gathered had actually discovered the virus.
Everyone had a drug testing card. After the test, we had no choice but to use the C-grade blue drug. Unfortunately, the drug was effective, but very slow, and there was a risk of infection.
Everyone had no choice but to quarantine those people.
The arson squad members were also discussing:
Jin Baiwan: "A new virus has emerged?"
Lu Gan: "Yes, everyone calls it the 'slack virus.' It seems that it's not very harmful, but it's quite contagious."
Luo Mingxin: "It's quite dangerous. I heard that some people slack off in battle, don't save their teammates, and just throw away their weapons to be killed by the alien beasts."
Jian Lin: "Yes, thankfully everyone has a drug detection card, but C-grade drugs are not cheap. Every one used is one less available, so it's too wasteful of drugs."
Qi Xiangxiang: "Break the River of Illusions!"
Ji Xinghan's heart skipped a beat: "Some people have been to Powangchuan?"
Song Zhuo: "Yes, everyone has figured it out. The source of infection has been to Powangchuan, but they only went to the outer area and did not see Lady Yingyue. We don't know why this virus is so powerful."
Ji Xinghan's heart sank; Madam Yingyue was still spreading the virus in Powangchuan.
I wonder how she is doing.
Strange, it's been so long, why can't Master Chongyue find Lady Yingyue yet?
Players can find it, but he can't?
Not only her, but players also speculated that perhaps Master Chongyue didn't want to continue the relationship, since his wife had been angry for so long and he hadn't tried to appease her.
Suddenly, an announcement rang out:
[Mission Released Across the Region – Lady Yingyue!]
[Mission Details: Lady Yingyue has run away from home, and Master Chongyue has not arrived for a long time. The rift between the two is widening. Please try to appease Lady Yingyue as soon as possible to prevent a serious mistake!]
[Task Direction A: Help Master Chongyue win back his wife, clear up their misunderstandings, and reconcile them.]
[Mission Direction B: Understand the lady's feelings, find her first love, and rekindle their romance!]
[Mission Option C: Go yourself, use your charm to conquer Lady Yingyue, and live happily ever after with her (Note: No gender restriction)]
[You can choose any task direction to focus your efforts on; once chosen, it cannot be changed!]
[Note 1: Please make your choice within 8 hours!]
[Note 2: Eight hours later, Lady Yingyue, heartbroken, entered the Valley of Heartbreak, and the Heartbreak Virus began to spread; 24 hours later, Lady Yingyue entered the Pavilion of Slaughter, and the Heart-Slaying Virus began to spread. Please help Lady Yingyue find happiness as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable!]
[Mission Reward: To be determined!]
Have fun playing the game!
The chat channel immediately became lively after the announcement was posted:
"Wow, this mission is amazing! It even has options!"
"Heartless and Heart-Slaying, those names are terrifying. Just by looking at them, you can tell this virus is deadly!"
"Ugh, is it starting again?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, who chooses mission C? They're really daring with this mission!"
"I choose C. It's all or nothing. If I conquer Lady Yingyue, I'll be able to roam freely in the survival world from now on, haha!"
"Both men and women are welcome, or should I join in?"
"Are the two upstairs crazy? Madam Yingyue is a first love and a current husband, why would she be interested in you two?"
"Exactly! The last two people who tried to steal the master's girlfriend were hunted down!"
The arson squad was also the subject of heated discussion.
Jin Baiwan: "Which option are you all going to choose?"
Luo Mingxin: "C? Lu Gan, why don't you go up there!"
Lu Gan: "...Just kidding, Luo Mingxin, are you planning to usurp the throne? Wait until I'm killed by the master, then you can become the gang leader?"
Jian Lin: "Hahaha, Mingxin is so ambitious!"
Jiang Lingyue: "Hey, how about we choose option A? After all, this one is easier. We don't even know who Madam Yingyue's first love was."
Jian Lin: "Hmm, it seems like option A is the safest now. Xiao Han, what do you plan to choose?"
Ji Xinghan thought for a moment and said, "I plan to wait a little longer."
Song Zhuo suddenly said, "Actually, choosing a, b, or c are three different paths, and these three paths conflict with each other. In other words, players who choose different directions are in opposition."
Jian Lin: "That's right, so it's best if our group chooses the same direction!"
Not only them, but the players have also come to their senses:
"No, if I choose A and my friend chooses C, then we'll be on opposing sides, because he wants to complete the mission and doesn't want the lady's husband and first love to come."
"Yes, direction A hopes that the master and his wife will reconcile, and therefore does not want direction B's first love to cause trouble."
"Oh dear, this is terrible! The game is turning against us again!"
"That's just how this game is; they even hope players will fight when they issue a quest!"
"They're making me do a task without even mentioning the reward. Whoever wants to do it can do it, but I'm not doing it!"
"The reward is pending, but it's not that there won't be one. Ji Xinghan received quite a few benefits last time, have you forgotten?"
Jian Lin and the others waited for Ji Xinghan's reply. They decided not to choose for the time being and to see what Ji Xinghan would choose.
Ji Xinghan pondered silently.
These options are difficult to choose from. Option C can be ignored. Should I choose option A or option B?
Ji Xinghan decided to think about it again.
She used the jade pendant to send a message to the ox and horse, deliberately using Lady Yingyue's tone to ask, "Where did Chongyue go?"
Niu Ma: "He went to attend the alchemy conference."
A pill-making competition?
Ji Xinghan frowned. "I've never heard of this before. Oh, this might be a gathering of NPCs."
But Madam Yingyue was so heartbroken, and Master Chongyue loved his wife dearly, so why would he disregard everything and attend some grand gathering?
Is his skill level not high enough?
Ji Xinghan couldn't help but ask, "What's he going to do at that conference?"
Niu Ma replied quickly: "Madam, have you forgotten? He went to be a judge, wasn't that the result of your efforts?"
Ji Xinghan paused for a moment; this sentence contained a lot of information!
The fact that Master Chongyue served as a judge indicates that he has a high status; however, this still requires Madam Yingyue's intervention.
Could Lady Yingyue be even more powerful than him?
Before she could decide what to ask next, Niu Ma sent another message: "Madam, Master Chongyue has taken all the revenue from our service area. We have no supplies here and cannot continue making medicine. What should we do?"
