Luo Xinglan subconsciously looked at Jiang Ruobai.
But they found Jiang Ruobai staring thoughtfully at the sand on the ground.
Luo Xinglan walked to his side and asked in a low voice, "You also feel that something's not right?"
Jiang Ruobai nodded slightly. "Well, the Storm Sand Demon King is a legendary monster after all. His death seems too hasty. I have a feeling that things may not be that simple. We should be more cautious from now on."
Luo Xinglan nodded: "Mm."
That's what she thought too.
After resting for a few minutes, the group prepared to look around for any clues about jade crystals.
Her intuition told her that the jade crystal was here, and the Storm Sand Demon King seemed to value the jade crystal highly, so it should be nearby.
The group and their pets began to inspect the scene.
Suddenly, a system announcement sounded:
[The "Weapon Master" exclusive mission has 12 hours remaining! Current progress: 0. Due to the slow progress, the "Take Over" side mission is now open. Survivors who are capable are encouraged to participate and complete the mission on time!]
[Side Quest "Take His Place": Replace the current quest taker and become Oin's last disciple! You can view the current quest taker's location after accepting the quest.]
The announcement caused an uproar around the world!
"To replace? How do you mean to replace? It can't be what I think it means, can it?"
"That's right, it means exactly what you think! This mission is for us to kill people! Only by killing people can we take their place!"
"The system is up to something!"
"But the competition is still going on, and I want to earn points!"
"Are you stupid? Points are nowhere near as valuable as becoming Oin's last disciple."
"But what if we fail to complete the task? What will be the punishment?"
"..."
Upon seeing this announcement, a bloodthirsty smile slowly crept onto Lu Chen's lips.
Replace it?
He was just wondering how to find Luo Xinglan when the mission came along.
This task seemed to be tailor-made for him.
Without further hesitation, he immediately accepted the side quest.
[Accept the "Take Over" side quest?]
Lu Chen: “Yes!”
[Quest accepted successfully! Find and defeat the current quest giver, Luo Xinglan, and seize her ore! Continue the main quest! Current quest giver location: Larongma Advanced Desert, coordinates: 2580, 4370. Remaining quest time: 12 hours. Quest failure penalty: None.]
At the same time, the world announcement sounded again:
[Survivor Lu Chen from Zone 64 of the Huafu server has accepted the side quest "Take His Place"!]
World announcements are server-wide announcements, which means that people in all regions and servers can see them.
Lu Chen was the first person to accept the side quest, and the people of District 64 went crazy:
"Lu Chen has taken action? It seems that Luo Xinglan from District 66 is in great danger this time!"
"It's not just a matter of life and death, it's a blessing to die quickly!"
"But if Lu Chen really becomes Oin's last disciple, he will definitely make equipment and weapons for the brothers in our district first, right?"
"You upstairs, do you think Lu Chen is some kind of benevolent philanthropist? Judging by his personality, he's probably going to forge himself a divine weapon so he can kill people even faster!"
"Damn! Now that you mention it, I'm starting to pray he doesn't complete the mission!"
"It's useless! How can a prey targeted by Lu Chen escape?"
"..."
The situation in District 65 was in an uproar.
Other areas are also very lively.
Perhaps because Lu Chen started it, people in other districts followed suit and took on the mission—to become Ao Yin's closed-door disciple. The temptation was simply too great!
Announcements kept ringing out on the world channel:
[Survivor Ouyang Mingzhu in Zone 65 of the Huafu server has accepted the side quest "Take Her Place"!]
[Zhao Yiming, a survivor in Zone 36 of the Huafu District 5, has accepted the side quest "Take His Place"!]
[Jason Smith, a survivor in Region 6, Area 28 of the North American server, has accepted the side quest "Take His Place"!]
[In the Korean server, Survivor Park Kwang-jung from Region 1 & 3 has accepted the side quest "Take His Place"!]
[On the Japanese server, survivor Yamaguchi Daichi from Region 2 has accepted the side quest "Take His Place"!]
[...]
Various announcements were heard incessantly.
Meanwhile, in District 66, where Luo Xinglan lived, the situation was even more chaotic:
"What? The Koreans and Japanese dare to bully us Chinese? Do you really think we are vegetarians?"
"Yeah, we gave them face? Brothers can drown them with just a mouthful of spit!"
"@Luo Xinglan, Boss, are you still in need of help on this mission? It's not for anything else, just to beat up the Japs!"
"That's right, that's right! I'll sign up to help too. We people from District 66 can't be bullied by people from other districts!"
"Haha, you're really asking for help. Luo Xinglan needs your help? You might as well think about whether you want to do this side quest or not!"
"Doing side quests? Do you think you can beat Boss Luo Xinglan? She's one of the top ten bosses!"
"Heh, she's dropped out of the rankings a long time ago! You can't even see her in the top 100 now!"
"The ranking dropped because the boss was busy on a mission and had no time to earn points! You don't think you can take his place just because he dropped out of the ranking, do you?"
"Haha, then you don't think that since I've accepted this mission, I have to complete it alone, do you? The whole world is watching now, and so many people from other districts have accepted the mission. It's bound to be very lively then, and maybe I can even get a head of the team."
"Oh, so you're thinking of taking advantage of someone's misfortune."
"..."
Ouyang Aotian also saw the announcement.
When he saw that Ouyang Mingzhu had also accepted a side quest, his expression changed drastically.
Why did Mingzhu accept this mission?
Does she think she can be a match for Luo Xinglan?
Or perhaps she naively thought that by taking advantage of the large crowd, she could get a share of the pie?
Ouyang Aotian immediately contacted Ouyang Mingzhu: "Mingzhu, give up the side quest right now! You are no match for Luo Xinglan!"
This time, Luo Xinglan will not show mercy to Mingzhu!
After a long pause, Ouyang Mingzhu coldly replied, "Although you are my older brother, you can't control me! I can do whatever I want, and it's none of your business!"
Ouyang Aotian was anxious: "I'm worried about you!"
Ouyang Mingzhu: "Care about me? Are you worried that I will hurt Luo Xinglan? Oh, you are really my good brother, but you actually stand on the side of another woman. As your sister, it is really my misfortune!"
Ouyang Aotian's eyes turned cold: "Mingzhu, I have said everything I need to say. This is all I have to say! If you still overestimate your own abilities, you will bear the consequences yourself!"
Ouyang Mingzhu: "I'm determined to complete this mission! Not only will I complete it, I will also kill Luo Xinglan and become Aoyin's only disciple!"
Ouyang Aotian was so angry that he stopped talking.
