“Thank you, boss.” Lu Yuan walked over and took the item.

Annie’s Chain and Klaus’ Pendant had been perfectly combined, no traces of the combination could be found. Even the name had changed.

[Goddess of Time’s Blessing]

[Rarity]: Sole special item

[Description]: Annie and Klaus’ daughter died that winter. The death of a teenage girl was nothing to this city, but to Annie and Klaus, it was a disaster, they were constantly praying to the Gods to allow them to return to the past.

[Effect]: After the player uses it, the player will enter an individual quest and go to that winter to complete the incomplete wishes of Klaus and Annie.

[Note]: The difficulty of the quest depends on the player’s level.

Individual quest!

When Lu Yuan saw the words ‘individual quest’, he knew that he had made a huge profit.

In the World of Apocalypse, when players reached level 10, public quests would be open to them.

Those quests were public, and everyone could enter them.

Apart from those, there were also some quests that were extremely special, most of them could only be entered once.

As such, even if the players formed a full party to enter such special quests, each quest could only accommodate less than 10 people at a time.

These quests were also known as individual quests.

Individual quests allowed players to form parties and enter, but most players would not leak the fact that they had obtained an individual quest.

Lu Yuan quietly put the pendant away, his steps as he walked out of the equipment shop were light and filled with a spring.

This individual quest was indeed not easy to activate.

Lu Yuan had to complete two hidden missions to assemble the key. If there was a mistake in the middle, the key would not be able to see the light of day again.

“Replenish my supplies, and enter the quest.” Lu Yuan set the fundamentals for what he was going to do next.

He quickly bought a bunch of potions from the potions store, then went to the tavern and clothing store to buy a lot of food and some winter clothes. After that, Lu Yuan went offline to eat.

After eating, he took a shower and had a good sleep. The next day, Lu Yuan got up and casually made some breakfast before starting the game.

After entering the game, Lu Yuan went straight to the outskirts of the novice village.

Entering the individual quest would cause quite a racket. To avoid trouble, Lu Yuan had to find a remote place to enter.

According to the description of the key, the world in the quest seemed to be in winter.

Since it was winter, it would not be wrong to prepare more food and clothes. These items were originally very cheap anyway. The only drawback was that they took up a lot of the space in his backpack.

“Come out, I wonder how much longer you guys will be following me?” Lu Yuan was very familiar with the thieves’ Stealth since he often used Shadow Following.

Lu Yuan even felt that if he used Shadow Following two more times, he might be able to directly learn the Stealth skill.

As soon as he left the novice village, Lu Yuan could feel stares coming from all around him.

Lu Yuan knew that he was now famous in the novice village, so he was not surprised at that time, but he did not expect that some would secretly follow him using Stealth.

“You’re not budging, are you?” Lu Yuan saw that the thief players did not respond after a long time, thus he directly picked up a stone and threw it at the trunk of a big tree.

[-1!]

After receiving damage, the player hiding in front of the tree trunk was immediately forced out of Stealth state.

When the other thieves saw that Lu Yuan could recognize their Stealth, they were shocked and no longer disguised themselves as they walked out of the shadows.

At the same time, more than 100 players gradually appeared in the surrounding forest and surrounded Lu Yuan.

“I’m very good-natured. Just stand there and don’t resist. I’ll let you go in a while,” The leading player with an ID called Lie Rufeng said as he walked out from the crowd.

“Who did I think it was? So it’s the notorious Inferno Guild,” Lu Yuan said sarcastically.

The gaze he looked at Lie Rufeng was filled with hatred.

In his previous life, the Inferno Guild led by Lie Rufeng specialized in exploiting ordinary players in the Apocalypse game.

This one guild had swallowed too many resources in the game, causing the growth of some ordinary players to be stunted.

After the world fusion and the Saints’ descent, Lie Rufeng, who had swallowed so many resources, did not think about how to protect his country and his civilization. Instead, he directly defected to the game civilization and became a dog under the intruders.

In his previous life, the Earth’s front-line warriors had been defeated because of Lie Rufeng’s sudden defection, resulting in the tragic death of countless high-level players.

Now it seemed that Lie Rufeng’s devious idea was directed on him.

“Notorious? So what? In the game, if you still follow the rules, then why play? Take off all your equipment and I’ll let you go. Otherwise, I don’t mind blocking you at the resurrection point and making your equipment drop one by one.” Lie Rufeng laughed wildly, his face full of pride.

It was as if Lu Yuan was praising him.

“You’re hopeless.” Lu Yuan shook his head and summoned the wild wolf’s dagger in his hand.

“If you refuse a toast, I’ll have to do it the hard way. Kill him for me. Whoever kills him will be rewarded 10,000 yuan each time, there’s no upper limit.” Lie Rufeng shouted. As the saying went, when a high reward is offered, brave fellows are bound to come forward. When the players heard that they would be rewarded with 10,000 yuan each time they killed Lu Yuan, their eyes were filled with greed as they surrounded Lu Yuan.

As for Lie Rufeng, he stood calmly on the spot.

He was very clear that Lu Yuan’s strength could not be underestimated from the fact that he could obtain the first legendary skill in the entire server and even kill a level 5 boss alone.

If he were to rashly go forward, Lu Yuan might even seize the opportunity to kill him instantly.

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.

Lie Rufeng chose to stand where he was and watch.

“He’s really cautious.” Seeing that Lie Rufeng did not come forward, Lu Yuan decided not to wait any longer. He immediately activated Shadow Following and disappeared into the shadows.

“So he’s a thief.” Some players cried out in surprise. In their opinion, Lu Yuan must have used the thieves’ Stealth to disappear into thin air.

“Ranged professions, use your skills to blast him out.” A player who seemed to be a small leader instructed.

Seeing that someone had stepped forward to command, Lu Yuan quickly went forward, and the dagger in his hand directly stabbed into the throat of the small leader.

Throat slit!

[-82!]

[-56!]

[-37!]

Three slashes in one second.

The small leader did not even have time to react before he fell to the ground and turned into a corpse.

“Summon Fire!” Lu Yuan casually summoned a ball of flame.

Because the players of the Inferno Guild were standing close to each other, this skill directly hit six or seven people.

[-127!]

[-137!]

[-112!]

…

“Won’t he drop out of Stealth state when he attacks?” Some players panicked.

When they saw that their comrades were dying miserably but they couldn’t even see their opponent, the feeling of helplessness made them stop in their tracks.

“Ha! A bunch of borers.” Looking at the players who were so scared that they didn’t dare to move, Lu Yuan ignored them. He quickly left the encirclement and came to Lie Rufeng’s side.

This battle had been in Lie Rufeng’s eyes since the beginning.

Seeing that none of the players had fallen for a long time, Lie Rufeng’s veins bulged on his face and he roared, “Move closer to me.”

“It’s too late!” This was the first time Lu Yuan spoke in Shadow State. After he gently whispered these words into Lie Rufeng’s ear, he held Lie Rufeng’s neck in one hand and stabbed him three times with the wild wolf dagger he held in the other hand.

[-94!]

[-43!]

Lie Rufeng turned into a corpse with no signs of life after the second stab.

Then, Lie Rufeng’s corpse turned into a ray of white light.

There was an item lying quietly on the ground.
