The young man was overjoyed when Chen Tian accepted his invitation. Chen Tian looked every bit like a big shot. Without activating his Concealment ability, Chen Tian was visible to everyone, and he had no intention of remaining an invisible figure, unnoticed by all. Chen Tian said lightly, "Then what kind of mission is it, and what are the rewards? It mentions Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood."
"This way, brother. Let me introduce you to our team and the mission objective. Many people are coveting this mission; they are waiting for my death so they can snatch the task. With a big shot like you present, we dare not venture out."
Qing Chen patted his chest reassuringly. His mode of operation was that of an adventurer. An adventurer's missions were bound to them. Only when the adventurer who accepted the mission died would it be inherited by another. Once completed, the mission would disappear. It had to be said that the benefits varied under different modes. Chen Tian remained silent, his eyes already having provided the information. His level was only thirty-eight, a pitifully low level. After the world's fusion, players at this level were truly suffering!
There were too many big shots. To survive, they had to cling to the side of big shots. This was also the reason for the dominance of the three major guilds in the Era of Time. The high-ranking members of the three major guilds were all big shot-level players, occupying seventy percent of the big shot players in the Era of Time. The remaining thirty percent, who knows when they logged into the game. Chen Tian, led by Qing Chen, arrived at a house. Chen Tian looked at the dilapidated dwelling and asked, "You live here? Do you have money?"
"Yes, but we cannot appear in the open. Many of our teammates are recognized, and only I have a unique skill that allows me to leave this house. Around the house, there are eyes everywhere."
Qing Chen observed his surroundings nervously. Many people coveted this mission. Qing Chen's team was monitored as soon as they made any moves. It was better to live in such a place to facilitate their activities. Grand hotels would have numerous restrictions.
Chen Tian nodded, and the two entered the house. Outside, countless eyes transmitted the information of Chen Tian's arrival, awaiting further orders. Inside the house, there were only three people: a combination of two males and one female. The two males looked haggard, while the female waited quietly. Qing Chen's voice rang out, "I've brought back a big shot. With him, our mission can be completed."
"Really? Brother Chen!"
The two males slowly stood up, as if finding hope in despair, their entire beings radiating with hope. As for the girl, she looked behind Qing Chen. Suddenly, the girl exclaimed, "Brother Chen Tian, it's you!"
A soft voice sounded. Chen Tian looked at the source of the voice and said, "So it's you!"
Chen Tian was very familiar with this girl. It was Luo Shaya, a mage he had teamed up with when he first arrived in the first world. Chen Tian hadn't expected to encounter an acquaintance here again.
"Why are you here?"
"Big Brother, shouldn't Ya Ya be here?"
"No, I thought you were with Leiya and the others."
"Oh! Leiya and I just happened to team up. That was a collaboration. This is my real team."
Seeing Chen Tian and Luo Shaya chatting happily, the other three felt like they were third wheels, standing to the side. Luo Shaya blushed and said, "Brother Chen Tian, let me introduce you to my team."
"No need. Your team can only be described as too weak. It's better not to introduce them."
Chen Tian's words struck a nerve. Such a weak team, I want to spit blood, I want to spit blood.
The few of them were choked to the point of speechlessness. The big shot had spoken, and the conversation had ended.
"Heh heh heh, Brother Chen Tian hasn't changed, but this is good. With Brother Chen Tian, this mission can be completed faster."
Luo Shaya giggled at the expressions of the other three males.
"Thump!"
A fist landed directly on Luo Shaya's head. Luo Shaya yelped in pain, her eyes looking pitifully, "Brother, you're bullying me again."
"Hmph, who told you to mock your brother? You deserve it."
"Do you believe I'll hit you?"
"Go ahead! You hit me. If you don't mind me telling Mother that you were secretly playing games, then hit me."
"Bad brother, I'm ignoring you."
Luo Shaya and Qing Chen, this brother and sister pair, instantly brightened the atmosphere around them. Chen Tian returned to the topic, saying, "What kind of mission has brought you to this predicament? There are at least a hundred people monitoring outside."
"Brother, take it out. I believe in Brother Chen Tian's capabilities."
Luo Shaya looked at the other three hesitating and decisively spoke. She believed in Brother Chen Tian.
"Okay."
Qing Chen took out a scroll from the warehouse. However, this scroll was different from ordinary mission scrolls. It had dragon head carvings on both sides. Chen Tian was astonished, "A Dragon race mission, no wonder, no wonder!"
As soon as Chen Tian saw the outside of the scroll, he understood. This was a Dragon race mission scroll, and the mission within was related to the Dragon race. After the world's fusion, various missions were no longer distinct; players could freely accept different types of missions.
This was to enhance player strength and provide balance. Imagine, if a Human race mission appeared among the Dragon race, would Dragon race players give it up? No, they would complete the mission themselves, greatly reducing the possibility of a powerful Human race player emerging.
After all, no one knew how rich the mission rewards would be. This scroll was a Dragon race mission scroll. Before the world's fusion, only Dragon race players could accept and trigger Dragon race missions. It was unexpected that Qing Chen had such good luck.
This was a Dragon race mission! After completing it, Human race players might gain abilities and skills similar to Dragon race players, even transforming into dragons.
Qing Chen said, "This is a Dragon King mission scroll. It records the place where the ancient Dragon King fell. There are countless treasures there. The mission objective is Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood. Drip the essence blood from the treasure onto the mission scroll, and we will receive the Dragon race's blessing, possessing dual races: Human and Dragon."
Chen Tian found this very familiar. Wasn't this his former Dragonman race class?
"Of course, it's unknown who leaked the information about this mission scroll. Now, many Human race players know that this mission is in my hands. If it weren't for the fact that players of the same race cannot attack each other, they would have already killed us hundreds or thousands of times to obtain this mission scroll."
Qing Chen spoke with a look of relief. Chen Tian asked, "Can't this scroll be teleported?"
Ordinary mission scrolls would directly teleport to the mission location. Qing Chen, facing Chen Tian's inquiry, replied, "No, this scroll only marks the location, and we need to travel there step by step. We also tried teleportation arrays, but unfortunately, we couldn't get there. There are no teleportation arrays on that side; it's a special map."
"Is that so?"
Chen Tian stroked his chin. No wonder this mission hadn't been completed yet. Chen Tian was certain that as soon as the four of them left this city, they would die instantly, and the mission would vanish. Qing Chen chose to recruit a big shot for protection to be safe.
After all, who would refuse such a reward? Didn't they see the hundreds of players monitoring outside?
In the Era of Time, there had never been a player with a dual-race profession. This would make them stronger, and no one wanted to miss out.
Qing Chen was an adventurer. Adventurers were bound to their missions. Unless they died during the mission, the mission scroll could not be dropped. Coupled with the fact that players of the same race could not kill each other, it was even more impossible to obtain the scroll.
But making Qing Chen and his team die wasn't that simple. For example, traps, illusions, players of other races, grudges, etc.
Chen Tian could imagine that as soon as Qing Chen's team left the city, they would be killed the next second.
Chen Tian said lightly, "Where is the location?"
"Ruins of the Dragon!"
Qing Chen finished speaking, and Chen Tian was stunned. Ruins of the Dragon, a very familiar name. A scene flashed in his mind.
"Perhaps it's where his tomb is?"
Chen Tian looked at the sky and murmured to himself.
