Chapter 41: Hidden Mission
Zhang Mazi looked around and suddenly burst out laughing.
"Mr. Lu doesn't have to avenge my third brother for robbing you?" Zhang Mazi smiled, and looked at Lu Heng with blazing eyes. "If that's the case, just shoot!"
"You're not afraid of death?" The corners of Lu Heng's mouth hooked.
"What is there to be afraid of death?" Zhang Mazi said, "In this world, it is terrible to be alive." Mr. Lu, we are bandits, and you were a rich businessman when we robbed you. Bandits robbing rich businessmen are justified. Now you are a warlord, we are bandits posing as officials, and it is only natural for warlords to kill bandits. ”
He paused, looked at Lu Heng and said slowly: "If Mr. Lu has a bad heart, as long as he gives an order, our brother will be killed on the spot immediately." ”
"What a guts!" Lu Heng praised, "It's just Mr. Zhang, your third brother robbed me, it's not just as simple as bandits robbing rich businessmen, right?" ”
"My third brother and Mr. Lu do have some grievances." Zhang Mazi said calmly, "The third brother was originally from Foshan, Guangdong, with a solid family background, known as the ninety-ninth floor. In the first year of the Republic of China, the second revolution failed, and the Gui family Long Jiguang captured Liangguang and wantonly "cleared the township", the third brother's family property was seized, and the family members suffered. “
"Mr. Lu's newly opened shop in Foshan is actually the property of my third brother's family. Although this is after the defeat of Long Jiguang, Mr. Sun bought it again and gave it to you, but after all, it was handed down by his ancestors, and my third brother hated the house and Wu, so Mr. Lu had the catastrophe that day. ”
"I see." Lu Heng suddenly understood the meaning of what the second bandit said that day. He looked at Zhang Mazi and said, "It doesn't matter what the antecedents are. But your third brother robbed money and killed him, and this grudge is settled with me. Mr. Zhang, as soon as you see me, you want to take care of this for your third brother? ”
Zhang Mazi smiled: "Mr. Lu's eyes are like a torch, and Zhang didn't want to hide it from you with this little caution." I am a brother and sister with the third child, his sin is my sin, Mu Zhi is here to compensate Lu Dashuai! ”
"Lu Dashuai, Wanwang Haihan!" Zhang Muzhi solemnly clenched his fists and bowed to the end.
"Lu Dashuai Haihan!" The rest of the bandit leaders shouted loudly together, and bowed deeply as well.
The scene suddenly fell silent again, and everyone's eyes fell on Lu Heng, waiting for him to make a decision.
Lu Heng had to admire Zhang Mazi's courage in his heart. If he is really the widow of Lu Haodong, who was robbed by the third bandit, how can he be spared?
This time, I will definitely not let go of the third child!
But Lu Heng is just Lu Heng, and he himself actually has no grudge against the third child.
So......
"Grudges put aside for the time being, I came today because I have something important to discuss with Mr. Zhang." Lu Heng dismounted at this time and walked towards Zhang Muzhi with a smile.
There is a reason why Lu Heng did not choose to completely resolve his grudge with the third bandit.
Just when I saw Zhang Muzhi for the first time, the system released the task again. Strangely, this time the system released two missions in a row, and the second one was very strange.
The first system task is normal, it is the second side quest of the first stage:
"You have met Zhang Muzhi, the protagonist of the first phase of the main quest "Let the Bullets Fly" on the plane, and the second side quest of the first phase of the main quest has begun."
You can choose one of the following tasks, and when you make a selection, the other options and their rewards disappear permanently. If you do not make a choice before the end of this meeting, you will be deemed to have abandoned the side quest. ”
"Side quest 1: Conquer Zhang Muzhi, and if you succeed, you can get the Baguazhang Dark Fist Empowerment."
"Side quest 2: Eliminate the bandits, and if you succeed, you can get the empowerment of the basic routine of Hongquan."
"Side quest 3: Don't show your attitude for the time being, and if you succeed, you can get a red peony brand rouge box."
Ignoring the third task that the system is accustomed to full of malice, the reason why the protagonist is missing the two options of killing Zhang Muzhi and taking refuge in Zhang Muzhi this time is because these two tasks have already been released when Lu Heng first met Ma Bond.
The system explains the rules very clearly, as soon as one of the options is determined in the same stage of the task, then the other options and their rewards disappear permanently.
In other words, Lu Heng killed Zhang Muzhi now, and he couldn't get any reward.
Perhaps, if the protagonist is killed by his own hands, he will symbolically give him a spiritual source or two?
You must know that Lu Heng has now killed Cao Ying, the ultimate boss in "Dangerous City", but the main quest in the second stage has been delayed because he is still 1 point short of spiritual source.
If Zhang Mazi is killed, maybe Lu Heng will directly complete the main quest of the second stage and get the fist intent empowerment of the Meridian Mandarin Duck Yue.
However, this idea Lu Heng just thought about it and dispelled it, the benefits of killing Zhang Muzhi to him were far less effective than subduing Zhang Muzhi.
Zhang Muzhi once followed Cai Yi, who can be literate and martial, and is a rare talent. He is one of the candidates for division commander that Lu Heng has already circled.
Compared with the one or two spiritual sources that he might get by killing Zhang Muzhi, Lu Heng wanted to pull Zhang Muzhi into his team and escort his journey to the Republic of China.
Although Zhang Yi is loyal, after all, the pattern is limited, and he alone cannot be a warlord like Lu Heng.
As for the spiritual source, how can you get the three ways, Lu Heng is not in a hurry for the time being.
For this task, Lu Heng directly chose the first side task - to subdue Zhang Muzhi!
It stands to reason that when you meet the protagonist of the system, the system issues a task, and Lu Heng accepts the task, the matter can come to an end here. But the system released a second task immediately after today:
"You have touched the hidden plot, completed the addition of the Spirit Source, obtained a random talent special skill, and become one of the protagonists of the aura of this plane."
"This is a trigger-based hidden quest that requires you to explore on your own to find the truth. Do you accept the task? ”
"Warning: Once the hidden mission is abandoned or fails, the Heavenly Dao in this plane will deprive the host of 2 points of spiritual source, and the host will enter a period of qi luck decay in this plane until the host obtains 4 points of spiritual source again."
It was such a strange task with no beginning and no end, and the punishment for failure that appeared for the first time, which made Lu Heng vigilant, and swallowed back the words of forgiveness to the third child.
According to the characteristics of the system that the relevant story characters must be touched to trigger the relevant mission, this hidden mission must be related to the people present!
The reward for this hidden mission is not insignificant, and its punishment seems to be nothing, but Lu Heng, who designed the outline by himself, clearly knows that the deprivation of spiritual source and the decay of qi luck are tantamount to opening the hell survival mode!
Lu Heng was originally not noticed by the Heavenly Dao of this plane in this plane, and he was equivalent to one of the many living beings, so it didn't matter what luck was. Therefore, as long as he plans well and is willing to work hard, he will succeed.
But now Lu Heng, after killing Cao Ying's father and son, obtained the spiritual source that originally belonged to them, and he has been clocked by the Heavenly Dao, and at this time he already has the conditions to become the protagonist of heaven and earth, and he can be regarded as entering the investigation period of the Heavenly Dao.
At this stage, if he makes a wrong choice, he will not seize the opportunity in his hand, and the Heavenly Dao will judge that Lu Heng does not have the quality to become the protagonist, and he will be deprived of his spiritual source.
This is what people often say - God does not take it, but suffers from it!
The consequences of losing the spiritual source are not as simple as returning to the original point.
Being deprived of the spiritual source by the Heavenly Dao is equivalent to "abandonment by heaven", and people who even give up from heaven will only become more and more disgusted, drinking cold water and stuffing their teeth, farting and smashing their heels, and any unfortunate thing will happen.
What made Lu Heng most helpless was that these settings about the "Spirit Source" and the cultivation level were completely formulated by the "Transcendent" who entrusted him at that time, and Lu Heng just derived the plot based on these settings.
Therefore, even if he is the outliner, he can only be forced to accept all kinds of spiritual sources.
This hidden task, Lu Heng must complete it!
However, with the few people in front of him, who is the culprit who caused him to touch the hidden mission?
