MMORPG: Martial Gamer

Chapter 1695 1695: Old Acquaintance

No wonder the deposit for this mission was given to the God-grade equipment; this is obviously an impossible task.

At this moment, the members of the Quan Zhen Sect were somewhat regretting their decision to help Wang Yu.

After all, such a difficult task was a means of surpassing oneself for Wang Yu, but for everyone else, it was just a way to get themselves killed. They probably wouldn't be able to help much by tagging along.

However, since they were already here, it didn't make much sense to say they didn't have time.

Even the Quan Zhen Sect, known for their lack of shame, had their limits, especially since Wang Yu was a very loyal friend.

There was no way around it; even if everyone regretted it now, they had to continue with the mission alongside Wang Yu.

"Old Bull!" After a moment of contemplation, Fearless sighed and said, "Do you have a grudge against the designer?"

"Why do you ask that?" Wang Yu replied, puzzled.

"Come on!" Fearless pointed at the mission and said, "You could say this is a hidden mission, but how can a storyline mission be this difficult?"

Wang Yu was a novice at gaming, but Fearless was not. As a seasoned player in the online gaming world, Fearless's understanding of games was hardly inferior to that of the game designers themselves.

Storyline missions, which propel the game's progress, are similar in nature to the tutorials players receive when they first enter the game. While such missions may have some difficulty, they should theoretically never be too hard—at least within the capabilities of the players.

Otherwise, wouldn't players be stuck on this storyline and unable to continue the game?

After all, storyline missions are different from hidden missions; players can choose to ignore hidden missions, but storyline missions are mandatory.

Not all players in the game have skilled companions. In fact, the vast majority are ordinary players. If storyline missions were designed to be exceedingly difficult, it would surely lead to a significant loss of players. Without players, what's the point of having a game?

But in Wang Yu's case, it was absurd to have a player below level seventy challenge two level one hundred god-level bosses. This was clearly a trap, and no one would believe that Wang Yu didn't have a grudge against the game designers.

"Who knows…" Wang Yu waved his hand dismissively and replied nonchalantly, "Anyway, every time I take on a mission, it's like this; I'm used to it…"

"Impressive!"

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but give Wang Yu a thumbs up, genuinely admiring him.

Wang Yu's resilience made sense; tasks that ordinary players wouldn't even dare to imagine were something he had already gotten used to. While ordinary people were all the same, those who were exceptional came in various forms.

…

Holy Light City wasn't too far from Twilight City; it took about thirty minutes by airship.

After thirty minutes, Wang Yu and the Quan Zhen Sect successfully arrived at Holy Light City.

Holy Light City was grand, with its white buildings always exuding an aura of holiness and inviolability.

As one of the largest main cities on the Brave Continent, its population had already exceeded one million… even the port area was bustling with activity.

Among the Quan Zhen Sect, only Wang Yu and Yang Nuo had previously visited Holy Light City. After disembarking from the airship, Wang Yu led everyone towards the city center, following the route he remembered.

"See that? Someone was chased around here like a rat back then!"

Arriving at the familiar city gate, Wang Yu recalled the scene from his first visit to Holy Light City and couldn't help but tease Yang Nuo about it.

Yang Nuo, with a dark expression, retorted, "It was in this Holy Light City that I saw the despicable face of a certain someone. Thank you, God of Light."

Although Wang Yu's act of killing Yang Nuo to steal a quest item and then fleeing was a reluctant choice, it was definitely not a glorious action in the eyes of martial artists.

"Thank you, God of Light!" Fearless also said piously, "If it weren't for the God of Light, our Quan Zhen Sect wouldn't have gained such a powerful expert."

"Grateful to the God of Light!" The Ultimate Conman, with a face like a street hustler, chimed in, "And a beautiful one at that!"

…

You could say that the Quan Zhen Sect members were not worth their salt. Wang Yu had just offended Yang Nuo, and in an instant, the group quickly sided with her. This comparison made Yang Nuo's favorability towards Fearless and the others soar, and she gave Wang Yu the middle finger with a fierce look.

"Cheh!" Faced with these shameless individuals, Wang Yu curled his lip in disdain, "Grateful for what? The God of Light has long been dealt with by me!"

"Brother Bull!! Is that you? I can't be mistaken!"

Just as Wang Yu and the others were joking around, a voice suddenly rang out at the city gate.

"???"

Hearing someone call his name, Wang Yu quickly looked up in the direction of the voice and saw a player standing right in front of him.

That player looked somewhat familiar, but Wang Yu couldn't recall his name.

Seeing a familiar face but not knowing the person was not uncommon in online games… people generally only remember names out of habit, and since Wang Yu hadn't been to Holy Light City in a while, it was normal for him not to recognize someone he had met before.

The player seemed to realize that Wang Yu didn't recognize him, and quickly introduced himself, "I'm Dawn's First Ray, don't you remember, Chen Shao!"

"Oh…"

Upon hearing this player's introduction, Wang Yu finally remembered who this guy was.

This kid claimed to be one of the four young lords of Saint City. When he first visited Holy Light City, Wang Yu had caused trouble for his guild, and it was his subordinates who had chased Yang Nuo around the streets. However, later on, these guys had put aside their grudges and paid Wang Yu to help with a task, so they were considered acquaintances.

Wang Yu, realizing who he was, couldn't help but be surprised, "I didn't expect you to still remember me after all this time."

Wang Yu had almost forgotten about this kid.

"Of course!" Dawn's First Ray patted his chest and said, "Brother Bull is someone, I often see you in announcements and I've even watched your matches." At this point, Dawn's First Ray glanced at Fearless and the others, quickly adding, "Brother Bull's friends are all extraordinary!"

"Not at all!"

As expected of a rich young master, his way of speaking immediately made the Quan Zhen Sect members beam with joy. Fearless smiled humbly and then asked Wang Yu, "Is this young man your friend?"

Usually, Fearless wouldn't bother with common players.

At this moment, Dawn's First Ray was introducing Wang Yu to the people behind him, "You see, this is the legendary Iron Bull God. I told you I was quite familiar with him!"

"Yeah! Friends!" Wang Yu nodded.

"Hehe!"

Fearless looked at Dawn's First Ray and the companions behind him, narrowed his eyes, and walked over to them with a smile, "What are you guys up to?"

"??"

Seeing Fearless's expression, the Quan Zhen Sect members were all taken aback. As far as they knew, Fearless only wore that kind of expression when he was planning to scam someone.

"Fearless, what are you up to? This is Old Bull's friend!" the Quan Zhen Sect members in the guild channel wondered.
