Chapter 120: I’m in Construction

After Mr. Zhou finished speaking, Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching couldn’t help but ponder for a moment.Then he gently nodded his head, "What you said is indeed quite tempting, but you also proved just now that researching the Magic Domain seems quite dangerous."

"I’m not as wealthy as you, if only a skeleton’s head is left, it would cost a lot to repair the damages, wouldn’t it?"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Zhou reached out and patted Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching on the shoulder, "Mr. Qian, you’re not aware that researching the Magic Domain can trigger the prerequisite condition for an unrestricted hidden task."

"Afterwards, if anything unexpected happens during the research process, you can accept this unrestricted hidden task from Mage Fang Ka."

"According to my analysis, if we complete this unrestricted hidden task, the rewards would surely be very generous."

"The resources spent on repairing damages are really nothing."

Hearing Mr. Zhou say this, Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching became interested and asked out loud, "What is this unrestricted hidden task?"

Mr. Zhou immediately replied out loud, "It’s very simple, we just need to research a new type of magic ourselves, and after researching, we can submit this magic to Mage Fang Ka."

"At that time, Mage Fang Ka will settle rewards based on the level and effect of this new magic."

"Furthermore, Mr. Qian, think about it, if we both set on this path and research the first new magic, we can sell it to other Skeleton Mage players for a small profit."

"And other Skeleton Mage players, after buying our new magic, will surely inquire about this sector from us."

"At that time, we can inform them about it and let them join in as well."

"Everyone can then exchange magic experience and continue to research new magic."

"Afterward, while handing over to Mage Fang Ka for rewards, we can sell the newly researched magic to newly joined Skeleton Mage players, thus creating a virtuous cycle."

"Not only will we earn, but we can also continually expand our research team, and our research results can become increasingly better. Do you think we Skeleton Mage players would lack money?"

After listening to Mr. Zhou, Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching was somewhat astonished and gave him a thumbs up, saying, "Xiao Zhou, you’ve got the right mindset."

"Great, we’ll do research together in the future, and I also want to fulfill my dreams of becoming a Frost Skeleton as soon as possible."

Mr. Zhou nodded with satisfaction, then smiled and spoke, "Very well, Mr. Qian, congratulations to us for starting off well; next, I’ll teach you some useful experience I’ve explored for free."

Then the two began to talk in low voices.

However, before they exchanged much, a task notification popped out.

"Level 2 Prerequisite Task: Giant Coffin."

Task Requirement: Build a giant coffin that can accommodate a hundred players, and deliver it to the beach beside the Ancient Castle.

Task Rewards: The top one hundred players with the best performance will qualify for subsequent tasks."

Currently, players are faring quite well, with the first and second batches totaling 130, and already more than 120 have reached level 2.

In fact, out of the first batch of players, a dozen or so are close to reaching level 3 experience.

These players can accept this prerequisite task.

As for how exactly to determine the top 100?

That naturally depends on Fang Ka.

He actually had already decided on the spots based on players’ usual performance; now, it’s just going through the motions.

Yet, the players are clearly unaware of this.

At this time, the players are abuzz, speculating what exactly this so-called prerequisite task is a prerequisite for?

Grandpa Qian of Bone Touching, who was discussing Magic Domain experience with Mr. Zhou, inquired curiously to Mr. Zhou, "Xiao Zhou, why do you think such a prerequisite task was suddenly released?"

Mr. Zhou shook his head immediately upon hearing this, "Who knows? But I think it won’t be a simple task."

"Moreover, the reward should be very generous."

"Otherwise, there’s no reason to create such a prerequisite task with no reward, only to determine qualification."

"Cut the chatter, let’s accept this task first, then go discuss with other players and see what they think."

Hearing Mr. Zhou’s words, Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching nodded, and the two immediately accepted this prerequisite task.

Then they left Mr. Zhou’s small building to search for other players.

To craft such a large coffin, a large amount of wood is needed for sure.

Previously, players had been logging wood and building houses, setting up a pretty special construction site.

The players who accepted the task would definitely rush to this construction site first.

Sure enough, when Mr. Zhou and Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching arrived, many players had already gathered here.

Seeing Mr. Zhou and Grandpa Qian arrive, quite a few acquaintances greeted them immediately.

Sea Flip even walked straight over and slung his arm over Mr. Zhou’s shoulder, "Brother Zhou, you haven’t been around much lately, it’s like an eternity not seeing you for a day; I feel like I haven’t seen you for several lifetimes."

Mr. Zhou somewhat disdainfully shrugged off the hold and then said out loud, "If you don’t know how to speak, then don’t."

"You all got here for that prerequisite task, right?"

Iron Black Pot immediately nodded after hearing this, "Yes, we were just discussing what exactly the 100 spots in the reward for this prerequisite task are."

Caged Parrot shrugged, "Haha, I’ve been listening to them discuss non-stop, and they think it’s most likely a dungeon similar to Gana Forbidden Domain."

Mr. Zhou lightly nodded upon hearing this, "I actually had a similar thought, but precisely what it is will only be known after completing this prerequisite task."

Iron Black Pot immediately echoed, "I see that everyone is almost here, so let’s not waste time continuing to discuss and first complete this task; we’ll naturally know by then."

The other players nodded one after another, and then many cast their gaze towards Mr. Zhou, as Lord Xu was not at level 2 yet and wasn’t present, everyone felt Mr. Zhou was naturally the most authoritative to design it.

Noticing everyone’s gaze, Mr. Zhou shrugged somewhat helplessly, "Heh, I’m flattered by you all, I’m in construction, not selling coffins..."
