Chapter 342 Refusing the Mission, A Sneaky Strike
Ji Xinghan cautiously approached the Disappointed Forest.
She took the antidote pills given to her by Luye, and the little virus in Shiyilin couldn't stop her at all.
She slowly walked inside, keeping her eyes and ears open.
She stopped in the woods and remained motionless.
After standing in the woods for several minutes, someone couldn't resist any longer. Several figures flashed out and surrounded her.
Master Chongyue strolled out and sneered, "You've got some nerve, actually daring to come!"
Ji Xinghan sighed: "Master Chongyue, no matter what, you are a master. How can you be so insecure? Why did you bring so many helpers to kill a mere outsider like me?"
She shrugged and said, "Look at me, I came all by myself!"
Master Chongyue's eyes flashed: "Ji Xinghan, I actually admire you quite a bit, but why are you siding with Lu Ye? Here's what we'll do: as long as you can make me and Yingyue reconcile, you can ask for anything!"
"You can also ask to become my apprentice!"
[Ding! Master Chongyue has issued a task—Help the couple reconcile!]
[Mission Details: Master Chongyue wishes to reconcile with Lady Yingyue and hopes you can help him.]
[Rewards for successful mission: 1. Favorability and inheritance from Master Chongyue; 2. A complete set of rare cards; 3. The identity of the Poison Envoy; 4. Other unpredictable benefits!]
[Mission failure penalty: Random!]
[Accept the mission?]
[Note 1: Although Master Chongyue is a malicious NPC, he possesses a large amount of resources, so it is recommended to accept this quest!]
[Note 2: This task may not contradict Yingyue's task; it is recommended to accept it!]
Ji Xinghan: ? ? ?
She was surprised.
What does that mean? They're still suggesting I accept this task?
Before she could reply, Zhang Xiaoxiao excitedly sent a message: "Oh my god, oh my god, I actually received a mission to reconcile with Master Chongyue! The rewards are so generous, I want them!"
Ji Xinghan was speechless: "Whatever you say, but your mission is the opposite of mine. You need to assess whether you can complete this mission."
She glanced at it and decided to give up on the task.
Even if the game suggested she accept it, she didn't want to.
What's the point of accepting this mission? To trick Lady Reflection into giving up the Soul-Stealing Grass, heal her, and then back out?
It sounds good, but she doesn't think the game's suggestions are good.
Didn't you see the suspicious "random" label for the task penalty? Just like Master Chongyue, you can't trust him!
Master Chongyue is an ungrateful, ruthless, and unscrupulous person. Who knows what pitfalls await us if we accept a task from such a person?
Games often have all sorts of traps, big and small, so she can't fall for them.
Zhang Xiaoxiao muttered a few words, then said with heartache, "Sigh, I'm not doing this task anymore. If the big boss refuses, I refuse too. I'll always be on the same side as the big boss!"
In the chat channel, a player shouted with surprise:
"Master Chongyue has issued a mission! Oh my god, does he still want to reconcile with his wife?"
"What? You can accept the mission?"
"Yes, yes, it seems that players within a kilometer can receive this quest, and I happen to be nearby."
"But why can't I accept the call? I'm clearly nearby, but the notification only applies to a small number of players. Can't I be one of those small players?"
Announcement: [Zhang Xiaoxiao has refused Master Chongyue's mission...]
[Du Ruoming accepted Master Chongyue's mission!]
Jian Lin: "Du Ruoming accepted the mission? You even helped that scumbag Chong Yue? Have you no shame?"
Qi Xiangxiang: "Heh, he was originally from Chongyue!"
Qi Xiangxiang privately messaged Ji Xinghan: "Du Ruoming has rushed over. This guy has a lot of tricks up his sleeve. Do what you need to do quickly, don't let him cause trouble!"
Ji Xinghan quickly asked, "Are you nearby? Help me stop him."
Qi Xiangxiang: "No problem, just a moment!"
Ji Xinghan took two steps forward and stood in front of Master Chongyue, the two of them no more than three meters apart.
She said to Zhang Xiaoxiao, "Come nearby and play the suona, quick!"
In less than a minute, the sound of the suona rang out. To be honest, Zhang Xiaoxiao played it very well, much better than Ji Xinghan.
This is probably her best piece.
Master Chongyue looked bewildered for a moment, then frowned: "Who's making a racket nearby? Zero One, go check it out!"
Zhang Xiaoxiao slowly walked over, but Ling Yi dodged her and blocked her way: "Get lost!"
Zhang Xiaoxiao was timid, and with a "bang," she immediately used "impregnable fortress."
A ball of white light rose around her, enveloping her.
Zero One swung his longsword, and it was deflected with a "clang".
Seeing that she was safe and sound, Zhang Xiaoxiao felt relieved and immediately blew even more enthusiastically.
Master Chongyue pressed his temple and cursed, "You're sick!"
He frowned and looked at Ji Xinghan: "Quickly, tell me, are you going to help me or not?"
Even now, Ji Xinghan hasn't refused any missions!
She was waiting for the right moment to launch a "sneak attack".
Seeing Master Chongyue growing increasingly agitated, she opened her personal panel, silently prayed, and gritted her teeth to use "Sneak Attack!"
[You used a sneak attack on Master Chongyue!]
[Successfully used!]
[You have obtained 1 set of gas-resistant gloves and 1 set of Lady Yingyue's recipe!]
Ji Xinghan: ...
Oh no, my luck is terrible, I stole two useless things!
At this moment, Master Chongyue's expression changed, and he shouted, "Ji Xinghan, how dare you steal my things!"
With a flick of his sleeve, a sharp blade flew past. Ji Xinghan sensed something was wrong and immediately dodged to the side.
That was close!
Master Chongyue shouted, "Ji Xinghan, don't be so stubborn! Since you're like this, don't blame me for being impolite. Zero two, zero three, zero four, go!"
The three people surrounding them immediately rushed forward.
There is no Zero One; Zero One is attacking Zhang Xiaoxiao in "Impregnable Fortress".
Ji Xinghan couldn't handle just these three people.
She used the phrase "immense strength" and "swift as the wind" on herself, and then dodged and weaved around.
She knew she was no match for those people.
The purpose of our visit this time is not to fight, but to steal!
While dodging, Ji Xinghan took out the "Sneak Strike" skill that she had upgraded yesterday. This time, she recklessly used all the luck-boosting items she had on herself.
The outcome hinges on this!
If she fails to steal it this time, she'll have no choice but to run away!
With 02, 03, and 04 attacking together, even Ji Xinghan, who was using cards, was struggling to hold on. Moreover, Master Chongyue couldn't help but make a move as well.
Ji Xinghan was overwhelmed and unable to use his skills at all.
Helpless, she simply used "lightning fast".
With a "whoosh," her body flashed into a blur.
The countdown to accepting the task was about to end, and she refused outright.
Announcement: [Ji Xinghan has refused Master Chongyue's mission!]
Master Chongyue is furious after being repeatedly rejected!
[Master Chongyue seems to have been punished in some way...]
Chat Channel:
"Ah, Ji Xinghan also refused the mission, and Master Chongyue was punished? I don't understand?"
"Huh, Ji Xinghan's influence has grown this much?"
"Du Ruoming and Qi Xiangxiang are fighting. It's quite a scene."
"Hehe, I was recording a video not far away. Ji Xinghan, Master Chongyue, and their subordinates are fighting too. She's amazing, taking on several NPCs all by herself!"
Ji Xinghan: ...
Seizing the opportunity, she once again resorted to a "sneak attack."
This time it's cards!
The one that was upgraded yesterday!
