Chapter 41: Division of Work

“With this equipment, I can kill everyone in the game!” Fatty wanted to go to Lingfan City because he wanted to become stronger.
The train ran fast thanks to the front belt. There were definitely many experts in Lingfan City. However, he was only Level 10. Even if he went, he would just be an ordinary person. It would be very difficult for him to have a chance to stand out.
“Since the two of you are already Level 10, let’s go to Juxiang City next to farm missions and gain experience.”
The most important thing now was to settle in the main city and obtain leveling experience by completing the missions. Fatty, who had just obtained these Purple equipment, was a little arrogant. He looked at the two of them confidently. “Can’t we continue farming monsters? Isn’t there a lot of experience?”
Killing monsters was secondary. Fatty mainly wanted to test the equipment in his hands. Lin Shuang had not forgotten his mission. He could not delay here any longer.
“Fatty, we’re not leveling up quickly by farming monsters like this. Moreover, we’re only encountering some small monsters. It’s boring.”
Lin Shuang’s words were straightforward. He had long lost interest in these monsters. Now that he was Level 14 and had just come into contact with the City Lord, the most important thing now was to complete the hidden mission. This was the only chance. But he would not abandon his companions.
“If you accept the mission, not only will you obtain the experience points awarded by the mission, but you might also be able to farm a big boss. Then, the experience reward and the equipment that can be dropped…” Lin Shuang deliberately kept him in suspense.
“You know what I mean, right?” Lin Shuang raised his eyebrows slightly. There was a hint of cunning in his eyes, and the corners of his lips curled up unconsciously.
Seeing him like this, Fatty immediately understood. “Let’s go!”
Soon, the three of them returned to Juxiang City under Lin Shuang’s lead. Many people passed the novice village and began to choose the main city. Most of the players chose Lingfan City, followed by Tianshu City. Although there were few players in Juxiang City, when they heard that there was a big shot around, some players still chose to join the city.
When he reached the city gate, Lin Shuang stopped. “Fatty, settle in the main city first. Lu Wan will pull you into our guild later. It won’t be long before you guys reach Level 12 after completing the daily quests. After that, I’ll bring you guys to farm monsters.”
Lin Shuang arranged everything in an orderly manner. Fatty nodded. He had the same thought. Knights and Priests could both farm monsters and level up better.
“Lin Shuang, do you have any other missions to do?” Lu Wan could tell at a glance that something was wrong. The speed at which he leveled up was like riding a rocket. It was difficult to believe that there was nothing wrong with it.
Lin Shuang scratched his head, but he did not intend to hide it from the two of them. “We are now in a secondary main city. After completing a certain main mission, our guild will have a certain ranking before we can start side or dungeon missions.
“Once we faced an extremely powerful Boss in a side mission or dungeon mission, we could obtain higher-level equipment with higher additional attributes. Our levels are too low now, so we can only split up. You guys are in charge of leveling up, and I’ll do missions and get the equipment.”
Lin Shuang leveled up faster and faster, and the speed of the upgrade gradually increased. From Purple equipment to Orange equipment, the eliminated Purple equipment could be used by the two of them. As for some useless Green equipment or even lower-level equipment, they could be sold for money.
“Then wouldn’t the two of us be able to obtain more equipment by killing monsters?” Lu Wan felt that although the equipment dropped from fighting monsters was low-level, there was a certain chance that higher-level equipment would drop. It could even drop a lot of copper coins.
There were too many uncertainties in doing missions. Sometimes, there might only be some experience rewards.
Hearing this, Lin Shuang pursed his lips and his eyes narrowed. “Normally speaking, it’s indeed very easy to obtain experience, equipment, and gold coins by killing monsters. However, your efficiency in killing monsters is too low. The equipment dropped by monsters that you might spend a lot of effort to get might not be as good as the equipment obtained from missions.
Fatty, who was at the side, saw through Lin Shuang’s thoughts and sighed. “If we cooperate, the monsters we kill might not drop well. If we encounter a cunning person and the monsters are snatched away, won’t we be letting others benefit?”
How much damage he dealt in the early stages was not important. What was important was who delivered the fatal blow in the end.
“The two of us can quickly increase our levels by accepting missions. We can also ensure that some monsters will be killed by us and obtain enough experience and rewards. When Lu Wan heard Fatty’s explanation, she suddenly understood. “Then let’s do the mission now!”
Lu Wan grabbed Fatty. Other than playing games online, she had to take care of her mother for the rest of the time. Lu Wan was racing against time in the game and grinding hard.
After bidding farewell to the two of them, Lin Shuang went straight to the tavern.
Xu Ni was still sitting in his usual seat. There was a cup of inferior ale beside the table. At this moment, he was focused on studying the fragment left behind by the God Clan in his hand.
Xu Ni frowned. Sometimes, he stared at the fragment thoughtfully, and sometimes, he placed the fragment in his hand on the table and studied it carefully, not noticing Lin Shuang behind him. A trace of light passed through the fragment, and the light refracted revealed a pattern.
Lin Shuang’s eyes widened. After observing for a moment, he vaguely realized that this should be the coordinates of some hidden location.
“There seem to be some coordinates here?” He couldn’t help but interrupt Xu Ni’s thoughts.
“Adventurer?” Xu Ni was a little surprised. He placed the fragment on the table and turned to look at Lin Shuang.
“The light was reflected and directed at this fragment. After refracting it through the fragment, I realized that there are some patterns. After changing directions, I realized that this seems to be a coordinate.” As he spoke, Lin Shuang picked up the fragments on the table and fiddled with them in front of him.
Not long after, a beam of light shot straight at the colorful fragments. As expected, a coordinate appeared through the principle of refraction. This was a unique coordinate in the game. It was not a location locked by longitude and latitude. Instead, it was locked onto by some shapes to show a unique coordinate.
Xu Ni’s eyes flickered, and his slightly drunk face immediately carried a trace of joy. “Brave adventurer, I see wisdom in you. I didn’t expect you to solve this riddle, but this time, I do want to go to the City Lord with you.”
Xu Ni stood up happily. This was a joy he had not shown for a long time. After taking this fragment, the two of them quickly set off for the City Lord Manor. When the two guards of the City Lord Manor saw Xu Ni appear, they immediately bowed.
“Welcome, Lord Xu Ni.”
The guard had a respectful expression. Xu Ni ignored him and went straight to the City Lord Manor. Lin Shuang immediately became suspicious of his identity. At this moment, City Lord Leonard was sitting on a big animal skin chair, looking into the distance with a frown, as if something in his heart made him melancholic.
“City Lord!” Lin Shuang and Xu Ni walked forward and bowed respectfully.
Leonard’s gaze locked on Xu Ni, and a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes. He immediately stood up from his chair and walked to him.
“Xu Ni, you’re finally here!” He personally helped Xu Ni up. His tone was gentle and not dignified at all. It was replaced by joy.
