Chapter 1507: Quest Change (Second)

Chapter 1507: Quest Change (Second)

Wang Yu was indeed a naive man.

What kind of person was A Thousand Old Blossoms? This fella was a master at swindling of all kinds and was a person just as despicable as any of the members from the Quan Zhen Sect. How could Wang Yu hand him the skill book just like that?

Indeed, the moment A Thousand Old Blossoms received the skill book, he did not even hesitate as he clicked to use it. Following which, the skill book turned into a black light and entered A Thousand Old Blossoms's body.

"You!" Wang Yu exclaimed when he saw that A Thousand Old Blossoms actually went to learn the skill, "You've actually learned it?"

"Ah?" A Thousand Old Blossoms smiled cheekily, "Hehe, Brother Bull why don't I give you some money for it?"

Following which, A Thousand Old Blossoms started digging out his gold.

This was a classic 'act first, report later' situation where one couldn't do anything about it.

This was because he knew there was no way Wang Yu could kill him since he had already learnt the skill. Even if Wang Yu killed him once, he wouldn't be able to recover the skill. In fact, no one else might be able to get hold of it even in the future.

As long as one didn't kill him, spending some money would resolve the problem. How much would a skill cost anyway?

"Forget it!" Wang Yu shook his hand when he saw that A Thousand Old Blossoms started taking out gold, "It's fine since you've already learnt it! I do not need the money anyway... I just hope you will not live to regret this."

"Regret? Why would I regret it?" A Thousand Old Blossoms chuckled as he opened up the skill tab to take a look. After which, he was completely dumbfounded.

Dark Fear: Passive skill, 2000 range absorbs all players' emotions to turn into fear and mockery value. The higher the fear value, all attributes increase by 1%. The higher the mockery value, all attributes decrease by 1%. There is no upper limit to the emotional values and change in attributes. It will last for 600 seconds and the changes in attributes will reset after the duration.

"F*ck!" Looking at the introduction of the skill, A Thousand Old Blossoms was this close to crying out in public. "This skill... Brother Bull... Why didn't you tell me this earlier?"

"Look at you! Aren't you regretting it already?" Wang Yu shook his head helplessly, "Nobody asked you to be this shameless!"

"Ah..." A Thousand Old Blossoms grew depressed.

"Alright, stop complaining because you deserve this!" Meng Xi glared at A Thousand Old Blossoms and said, "Others will only mock you if they see you in a state like that."

Hearing what Meng Xi said, A Thousand Old Blossoms couldn't help but quivered as he quickly shut his mouth.

"Ai..."

Wang Yu sighed before letting out a bitter laughter.

At the same time, A Thousand Old Blossoms received a notification. "Mockery value +3, attributes decrease by 3%..."

"Stop laughing at me!" A Thousand Old Blossoms grabbed Wang Yu.

After the death of Devil King Stan, the black stone on the altar lost its radiance.

Meng Xi pointed at the stone and turned to Wang Yu, "Bring me that stone."

"Why should I bring it to you? Don't you have hands?" Wang Yu replied in an unsatisfied manner.

Meng Xi pointed back to A Thousand Old Blossoms and said, "Your quest is to protect me and I do not want to end up like him."

"Mockery value +5, attributes decrease by 5%."

"F*ck! There's no way I can survive!" A Thousand Old Blossoms crumbled.

"Alright!"

Looking at A Thousand Old Blossoms' current plight, Wang Yu naturally did not want the quest to fail too. Therefore, he disregarded A Thousand Old Blossoms as he walked towards the altar and grabbed the black stone.

Glorious Black Stone: Quest tool. This gem seems to be hiding some secret.

After confirming that there was no danger with the stone, Wang Yu handed the Glorious Black Stone to Meng Xi.

Just when Meng Xi received the stone, an announcement sounded across Forgotten City.

<System Announcement: Glorious Black Stone of the dark crevice is missing. The dark paths are going to be activated so can all residents of Forgotten City please find the missing Black Glorious Stone within 24 hours.>

At the same time, Meng Xi and Wang Yu also received a separate notification regarding the change in quest.

Meng Xi received: "Deliver the Black Glorious Stone back to Twilight City safely. Death means a 100% drop."

Wang Yu's notification was, "Help Player Meng Xi deliver the Black Glorious Stone back to Twilight City. If Player Meng Xi is killed by others, quest will fail."

"???"

Wang Yu was immediately perplexed when he saw the change in quest.

He realised that they had bumped into a colliding quest and their opponents were every single player from Forgotten City.

This was real trouble.

If Wang Yu was alone, it wouldn't be a difficult task at all. However, this lady Meng Xi was a massive burden. This was even tougher than when Zhao Zilong rode in solo to be a saviour. At the very least, A-dou could be carried in his arms but how was he supposed to carry a lady like Meng Xi in his arms.

...

While Wang Yu was stressed, Skeleton King was even more stressed.

The moment the system announcement flashed across the city, all the sect heads immediately sent a message to him, "Skeleton, hurry up and hand the Black Glorious Stone over. Otherwise, we will not go easy on you."

"F*ck!" Skeleton King replied, "I have nothing to do with this!"

"Your Glorious Sword Sect killed Devil King Stan and you say you have nothing to do with it? Who are you trying to lie to?" everyone refuted.

"Nonsense!" Skeleton King raged, "Devil King Stan is not killed by someone from our sect!"

"F*ck you! You just admitted that earlier! Hurry up and hand it over or we will turn nasty!"

Skeleton King, "..."

If he knew this was going to happen, he would never have been pretentious. Once others were certain that his Glorious Sword took the Black Glorious Stone, there was no way he could get out of it.

This was indeed a huge price to pay for being pretentious.

Even though Glorious Sword was the biggest sect in Forgotten City, it was essentially picking the tallest dwarfs. They were not comparable to a superpower like Ancient Empire.

If others really came together to deal with Glorious Sword, it would be their doomsday.

Moreover, all these sect heads had motives of their own and everyone wanted to become the BOSS in the city. Even if they knew that the Black Glorious Stone was not in the hands of Glorious Sword, they would not hesitate to get rid of Glorious Sword with a golden opportunity like this.

Skeleton King was at fault for sticking his head out in this manner.

At the thought of this, Skeleton King anxiously sent a message to Scarlet Cloud, "Quick, hurry up and snatch the Black Glorious Stone back!"

"I understand..."

Scarlet Cloud was not so dumb that she needed Skeleton King to remind her of what to do. This lady already foresaw the severity of this matter when she saw the system announcement. She had already brought men towards the black crevice.

...

On the black altar, Wang Yu was still feeling depressed over the change in quest. All of a sudden, Scarlet Cloud barged in with a group of players as they surrounded Wang Yu and the few others.

"Brother Bull! They were the ones who tossed me here!"

A Thousand Old Blossoms was surprised when he saw Scarlet Cloud and her men which was why he cried out hurriedly.

Wang Yu furrowed his brows as he subconsciously took one step forward to pull Meng Xi behind her. After that, he asked, "Who are you people and what do you want?"
