Chapter 429 Mission Guide: Find the Treasure Orb
Everyone else also felt that something was wrong.
The service area was safe before, but now strange beasts will appear.
The alien beasts of today are all very powerful due to radiation, and they are not easy to deal with.
However, since the service area was open, everyone had to go there, so the players flocked in.
Entering a service area is simple. After the service area is activated, a small token-like icon will appear in the upper right corner of each user's screen. Click on it to enter.
After Ji Xinghan was ready, he clicked the icon.
Should we proceed to the Gray Mist Ridge service area?
Ji Xinghan: "Yes!"
[Randomly selecting partitions...]
[We are about to enter the Gray Mist Ridge Service Area, Section 16. Countdown begins: 10, 9, 8...]
With a "whoosh," Ji Xinghan's body swayed, soared into the air, and then floated down.
Everything in front of her was gloomy.
The surrounding area was shrouded in a hazy fog, with extremely low visibility; objects within a one-meter radius could only be seen.
Ji Xinghan took out the luminous pearl.
It's no use; the light from the luminous pearl can't penetrate the gray fog at all, so it has no effect whatsoever.
Ji Xinghan put away the luminous pearl, gripped his longsword in one hand, and touched the hidden dart in his sleeve with the other, cautiously looking around.
There were no people, no strange beasts, no sounds, only a thick, gray fog.
She decided to be more careful, so she opened a chat channel.
Little did she know, just as she opened the chat channel, before she could even browse it, two green dots rapidly approached from a distance.
What's this?
Ji Xinghan immediately closed the chat channel and stood ready for battle.
A fishy smell wafted over, and with a loud howl, a huge gray wolf charged towards her, no more than a meter away.
not good.
Ji Xinghan immediately retreated, and at the same time, he raised his hand and sent out a hidden arrow.
The gray wolf's eyes were a deep green, and the green light she saw was its eyes.
The gray wolf twisted its body, dodging the hidden arrow, and continued charging.
Ji Xinghan quickly calmed down, took a picture of herself as swift as the wind, put on her exquisite umbrella, and went forward to meet the challenge.
Grey Wolf is strong, but Ji Xinghan is not weak either.
It was just too sudden, she didn't have time to react. After a serious battle, she killed the gray wolf in just five minutes.
[Killed 1 Gray Wolf!]
[Received 1 Gray Mist Ridge Gold Coin!]
A gold coin appeared in Ji Xinghan's hand; it was a standard design.
[Grey Mist Ridge Gold Coins: Gold coins specifically used in the Grey Mist Ridge service area. Use these coins to purchase any item within the service area!]
She realized that this was a special currency used in service areas.
Therefore, they need to kill alien beasts to obtain gold coins in order to purchase supplies.
This is similar to other service areas.
However, this time the strange beast was actually within the service area.
Ji Xinghan touched a rock behind her, which made her feel a little more at ease. Leaning against the rock, she decided to rest for a while.
She wanted to assess the situation first.
In the chat channel, players had already started discussing it:
"Ah! A giant wild boar charged out as soon as I came in and almost ate me! How terrifying!"
"Kill it! Killing a wild boar will earn you 2 gold coins, which can be used to buy supplies!"
"Have you seen any shops?"
"There's a shop here. I just teleported to the shop entrance, but unfortunately, there's a 10-gold-coin entrance fee. I'm looking for a beast right now."
Ji Xinghan glanced at the document and got a general idea. This time, it was a random teleportation, randomly to a partition, and then randomly to any location within that partition.
If you're lucky, you'll randomly end up in front of a shop.
Those with bad luck were randomly assigned to a wolf pack and barely escaped with their lives.
In just a short while, the chat channel lost many more people.
They had no choice but to accept their fate. They couldn't avoid the service area; without radiation protection and removal supplies and medicines, they would be doomed outside.
We can still try our luck once we enter the service area.
Fortunately, most of the beasts here are not too high-level. One person can't handle them, but three to five people can.
After a group of players died, they quickly formed teams.
The casualties have finally decreased a bit.
Killing a green-eyed beast earns 1 gold coin, a silver-eyed beast earns 2 gold coins, and a gold-eyed beast earns 3 gold coins. We haven't encountered any higher-level beasts yet.
After understanding the situation, Ji Xinghan planned to close the chat channel.
She glanced at it unintentionally, then suddenly paused. Why was the Heavenly Mirror still there?
Ji Xinghan opened the Tongtian Mirror, which only had one live stream window displaying: Remaining time: 00:05:12.
After she opened it, she saw Zhao Qingyuan.
Zhao Qingyuan in the gray fog.
Lu Qing was standing next to Zhao Qingyuan.
The two people were sitting cross-legged, resting.
After a night's rest, Zhao Qingyuan looked much better, but his brows were furrowed and his face was full of worry.
Suddenly, her face lit up with joy: "It's done!"
Lu Qing's spirits lifted: "Detailed mission instructions have appeared again?"
Zhao Qingyuan nodded: "Yes!"
She watched for a moment, a smug smile appearing on her face. The smile grew wider and wider, eventually taking on a sinister edge.
She sneered, "This time, Ji Xinghan won't be able to escape!"
Lu Qing quickly asked, "What did the mission instructions say?"
Zhao Qingyuan: "In the service area, an item called a treasure orb will appear. Find the treasure orb, buy it, and destroy it immediately. As long as we destroy the treasure orb, that key NPC will never appear."
Lu Qing's face lit up with joy: "As long as the key NPCs don't appear, we'll have to keep playing this game!"
Zhao Qingyuan nodded fiercely: "That's right, which means that as long as we destroy the orb, Ji Xinghan's plan to leave the game will fail, and our mission will be complete!"
She gave a sinister smile: "Once my mission is complete, the game will reward me with top-tier items. At that time, killing a mere Ji Xinghan will be a piece of cake for me!"
Lu Qing had some doubts: "That's good, but how many pearls are there in total?"
Zhao Qingyuan gave a sinister smile: "One, only one!"
Lu Qing nodded: "Alright, then we'll immediately give the order to everyone in the alliance to be on the lookout and buy the pearl as soon as it's discovered!"
He paused for a moment: "What color is that pearl?"
Zhao Qingyuan was taken aback: "The mission instructions didn't mention it, they just told us to destroy the pearl."
Lu Qing thought for a moment: "Don't worry about it, it's just a pearl. No matter what color it is, destroy it after you buy it!"
The two finished their conversation.
Ji Xinghan wanted to watch a little longer, but then the live stream window flashed and disappeared.
The time for the Heavenly Mirror has come.
Ji Xinghan narrowed his eyes.
A precious pearl, right?
She immediately told the arson squad, "If you see the pearl, you must buy it for me. It's very important."
The crowd responded.
Jin Baiwan gasped for breath: "Damn, why is this so hard to kill? After all that effort, I only have 3 gold coins left. I'm exhausted."
Jian Lin: "I heard the entry fee is 10 gold coins, should we chip in?"
Ge Xiaochuan: "No, no, gold coins can only belong to the individual and cannot be shared by others."
Ji Xinghan took out the gold coins and looked at them.
That's right. The gold coins in Gray Mist Ridge have a unique feature: they can only be used by the user and cannot be given to others.
Therefore, even though everyone teams up, the gold coins obtained from killing the monsters can only be given to the person who killed the monster.
It's impossible to raise the money.
The only option is to try and get the same person to make the final kill.
Ji Xinghan immediately got up, walked forward, and began killing strange beasts everywhere.
After half an hour, she killed several beasts of various levels and had 18 gold coins in her hand.
She finally saw a new scene.
A warm yellow light appeared in front of me, a long string of lights, and several large lanterns with the words "Shops in Zone 16" written on them.
