Chapter 64: Vanni’s Mission

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

“After my son quarreled with me, he ran away from home. I haven’t heard from him at all. It’s been more than half a month since he left home.”

It turned out that Vanni’s son had run away from home, but Lin Shuang felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed. Moreover, after he came into contact with it, he was surprised to discover that this NPC also had a profession, and he was a relatively outstanding mage.

“Perhaps every boy has a dream of adventure. Perhaps you should believe that he can return safely.” Lin Shuang tried to comfort this NPC and obtain more information.

“He took a book from the library before he left. It’s a secret only a Librarian can access. Although I can’t tell you, right now I’d love to find my son.”

As expected, the hidden mission was here! It was probably not a big deal for his son to run away from home, but the missing secret book was the main point.

“Perhaps I can help you find him, if you can provide some clues.”

Vanni’s face was still full of worry, but he wasn’t as unhappy as before, but there was no hint of surprise or anticipation. Perhaps many people had offered to help him. “If you’re willing to help me, before that, I want you to do something for me.” As he spoke, he found a few pieces of these broken books and pieced them together on this table like a puzzle. Immediately, a huge array appeared in front of him.

“These broken books can form an array that will trigger a huge teleportation array. However, I currently lack energy crystals. I wonder if you’re willing to help me bring back some energy crystals?”

This huge array seemed to require four energy crystals placed on the four corners.

“No problem!” Lin Shuang readily agreed. Although this mission had nothing to do with the City Lord’s hidden mission, he could still obtain some clues if he completed this mission. After all, he had wandered around this city for a long time and had not found a way to enter the City Lord Manor directly.

After asking around, he learned that the conditions to enter the City Lord Manor actually required a letter of authentication from a local resident. This NPC was the best choice. How could he let go of this choice so easily?

“Then I’ll look forward to your performance. I hope you can successfully reach the Thousand Islands Snow Mountain. There are many energy crystals there, but you have to be vigilant. The temperature there is extremely low.”

A worried expression appeared on Vanni’s face, as if the Thousand Islands Snow Mountain was a very dangerous place. However, before he was reborn, he was lucky enough to come to the Thousand Islands Snow Mountain once.

The map here was completely different from the others. The reason why the Lingfan City was outstanding was that it had the only unique terrain among the three main cities, the Thousand Islands Snow Mountain.

It was dozens of degrees below zero all year round, and they could always encounter heavy snow. There were even some cliffs that were covered in frost. The path ahead was very dangerous.

The wild monsters there were completely different from other places. Not only were their levels very high, but they also had a cooldown effect that could freeze people in place. Therefore, ordinary players would not choose to go to the Thousand Islands Snow Mountain.

Not only did they have to be wary of the passive skill, cooldown, in battle, but they would also be critically injured by these monsters or even beaten up without any operational benefits. At the same time, they had to consider how to warm themselves. If they could not stabilize their body temperature within the normal value, they would quickly lose all signs of life.

However, what really terrified them was that there was a relatively ancient race living here. They lived in this frozen situation all year round, and most of their supplies were plundered. This required players to ensure that they were not ambushed while fighting these monsters.

Lin Shuang, who had accepted the mission, had a lot on his mind along the way, but he still walked quickly.

He did not notice that a figure had been following him silently. Seeing that he was heading north in the direction of the Thousand Islands Snow Mountain, the person behind him was puzzled. Why did he go to such a dangerous place? There was no time to think. She quickly followed.

The weather was originally pleasant, but as he approached the Thousand Islands Snow Mountain, he felt the surrounding temperature drop. Not far away, a snow mountain that was frozen for a thousand miles appeared. It looked very tall and spectacular.

The journey was relatively smooth, but when he approached the snow mountain, a river divided into two banks. He did not panic at all. Just as he was about to jump in and swim to the other side, a voice suddenly came.

“If you jump over and swim to the other side, as long as you enter the Thousand Islands Snow Mountain, you will be frozen into an ice sculpture. At that time, you won’t be able to continue fighting.”

A familiar voice sounded behind him, and a trace of surprise appeared on his face. “Are you following me, or are you also planning to come to the Thousand Islands Snow Mountain?” There seemed to be no reason for a Level 12 archer to come to the Thousand Islands Snow Mountain to do a mission. She couldn’t possibly be here to die, right?

“I didn’t get what I wanted from you previously, but I’m very curious. Why did you come to the Thousand Islands Snow Mountain? Are you doing a mission?” She had a feeling that only by following Lin Shuang could she level up better.

“It’s my business, and I don’t want to tell you.” Lin Shuang suddenly smiled. His annoying face immediately angered the woman in front of him.

However, the woman still lowered her head. “I can tell that you must have just formed a new team, but you don’t have an archer. If you’re willing to cooperate, we can cooperate.”

It might be easier in the early stages if an archer fought alone, but it would definitely be difficult to level up and obtain equipment in the later stages without a team.

Lin Shuang had long known that the profession of archer was very special. If she did not team up with him, other teams would not choose this burdensome archer in the early stages. “I’m not the one asking you to cooperate with me now. You know that it’s very difficult for archers to form teams in the early stages.”

Glory was special because every profession had its pros and cons. It wouldn’t give these players more special care just because their roommates wrote it. It was indeed very difficult for archers to develop in the early stages. It would take up more resources and consume more funds.

Archers could indeed be shocking in the later stages, but if they could not accumulate enough in the early stages, it would be very difficult to complete the leap in the later stages. No team was willing to spend a lot of money on such a test, nor would they even spend more effort to nurture an archer who might not succeed.

The woman’s expression turned ugly. “If you’re willing to team up with me, you can fight monsters freely from now on. I guarantee your survival in the Thousand Islands Snow Mountain.”

Archers did have a certain advantage in the Thousand Islands Snow Mountain. They could easily obtain fire seeds and maintain their temperature. However, their attack speed was slower and they were easily killed by higher-level monsters.

“Deal!”
