Chapter 39: The Adventurer (3)
γOld Imperial CityγThe Lord's Mansion.
The old lord of the castle is approving important documents, including letters from the Principal of the Mask.
Although he exudes a strong golden aura all over his body, his body is aging rapidly, and ordinary people can see that this old man is approaching.
Even if you reach the "True Mansion Stage" and form a small world in the brain domain, it will only increase the time that the physical body can accommodate the soul and prolong part of the lifespan.
The soul and body of a living body cannot last forever, this is the basic 'rule' set by the great world of the universe.
When the deadline arrives, the body disintegrates, and the soul is separated!
Even the mask that can manipulate time cannot escape the shackles of this rule, and sooner or later he will face death.
Unless you are a transcendent who can truly break the 'rules', you can continue your life forever...... But such a figure has never appeared on earth.
Originally, the city lord could have survived for a longer time, but unfortunately, due to some battles in the past, his body was damaged by some irreparable damage, and a large amount of longevity was consumed before he was able to move freely like now.
"Ding, ding, ding!"
An information prompt sounds.
Only some particularly urgent matters will be notified directly to the old city lord.
"Life check: 23 years old, Chinese human, male. Obtain an S+ score in the Combat Ability Test Zone.
In addition, the three-dimensional image of Yujing is also projected.
"Another genius has come, and there are really a lot of talents at Dihua University in the past two years. Xiao Lei, is this the disciple you mentioned to me earlier? β
Reru happens to be here too.
"Yes...... However, this kid is not my disciple, he just learned the marksmanship I created by chance. β
Reru is a very clear person about the relationship between master and apprentice.
First of all, Yu Jing has already worshipped Yu Qian as a teacher, and secondly, Yu Jing is also a student of Dihua University, two conditions make it impossible for Lei Lu to treat Yu Jing as a disciple.
"Shouldn't it be normal for such a genius young man to have multiple masters? It is also your blessing that such a disciple can receive one...... At the age of 23, I really want to see him in person. Xiao Lei, wait for them to choose the task of going out later, and then take them to my place. β
Lei Lu immediately reminded: "Teacher...... These people are the heirs of the evil gods you scoff. β
"Haha, of course I do. Times are changing, the mask is a very interesting person, novel and changing thinking, beyond the shackles of the overall situation, after several letters and exchanges, so that the stubborn thoughts of this old bone are also slowly changing...... Now is the time of joint efforts to the outside world, I have no prejudice against them, but I would like to see what kind of people this group of evil god inheritors is, and whether they will have the same habits and bad personalities as the evil gods. β
"Okay, I'll bring them over later."
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Wow! Brother Yujing, how did you do it!? β
Yu Jing is no longer the young man Abu knew before, whether it is the "Phaseless Achievement" or the demigod body constructed by the "Divine Body", Yu Jing has undergone essential changes in his body.
"It's just a steady fight, if it weren't for Abu and you for the first test before me, I'm afraid I wouldn't have lasted so long...... The severity and duration of your injuries probably made me guess that the difficulty of the internal test changes so quickly that I happen to be very physically adaptable, so I can hold on until I play my best and get the best result. β
Yu Jing explained slightly.
The guess is good, Abu is precisely because of the rapid increase in difficulty in the test area, a chance mistake led to the out, otherwise he would definitely be able to get S's evaluation.
"Congratulations on earning the title of Diamond Squad."
The trio were immediately replaced with a diamond-encrusted waist card, with which they could take on any mission with no 'rank' restrictions, and they had absolute mission priority.
"Thank you."
When the three of Yu Jing returned to the hall of the Adventurer's Guild with the diamond waist card, both the passers-by who were talking about it just now and the staff who were too young for Yu Jing and the others were all dumbfounded.
"There's a Diamond Squad! How is it possible to be so young!? β
"They only have a team of three, do you want to try your luck? Maybe you can join the Diamond Squad and your life will be guaranteed. β
There is a clear rule that a minimum of three people can form a team, but the maximum size of the team can be expanded to six in the later stages.
As a result, many adventurers came forward to introduce their proficient abilities, and some even boasted that they were familiar with the terrain of the old world and tried to join Yu Jing's team, but all of them were politely rejected by Yu Jing.
"How do you choose an adventure mission?"
The staff replied professionally: "[Diamond Squad] has the right of first choice, please come with me!" You can choose freely in a separate room. β
Under the leadership of the staff, Yu Jing and the others left the hall where life was boiling and came to the quiet backyard cubicle.
Syllable!
A large book was thrown in front of Yu Jing and the others.
"Tasks in the past 30 years can be browsed and selected directly from the computer, and the tasks of 30 years ago are all recorded in books...... As a reminder, the older the mission is, the more descriptive it may be, and you may not be able to find the mission target or the relevant location according to the text prompts in the book, so please choose carefully. β
"Thank you."
The special treatment of the [Diamond Squad] gives a lot of convenience to the three of them.
Yu Jing closes the door of his room and carefully selects the task, and maybe he can get some important clues from it.
"Dong Dong, Abu, you also see if there are any tasks that you are more interested in, this time I unconditionally invite you to come to the old world to help, if you have anything you need, just tell me."
"Okay."
Abu also came with a purpose and began to flip through the books.
Yu Jing first searched the computer for a mission about [Geholos] for nearly 30 years, but he didn't find the task, but found the conditions for exchanging S-class evil god materials [Geherros's Meteorite Fragments].
"Required: Merit value 10,000 points, personal rank "Second Lieutenant" and aboveγ
However, most medium-difficulty missions only provide 50-100 merit points...... In addition, in order to be promoted to the rank of lieutenant, an individual needs to complete at least 5 important missions and 20 ordinary missions, which can take a lot of time.
And even if you meet the requirements, you will exchange for a few meteorite fragments...... Yu Jing didn't have so much time to waste on this.
"Hey, I can only give up the idea of exchanging fragments by doing tasks, and I have to focus all my attention on the 10% unmined meteorite fragments in the old world...... There is no record of the last thirty years of the mission, and it can only be viewed in the book mission. β
As Yu Jing was about to flip through the book, Abu looked delighted and pointed to an old task in the book that had been promulgated 287 years ago - [Hidden in the Black Forest under the sand dunes].
