69: I saw Liu the Cripple again.

Limping Liu was wearing a bamboo hat and a straw raincoat!

In weather without rain, this outfit was a bit conspicuous.

However, this mountain was full of vegetation and thorns, so if he really wore it like that, it could be justified.

As he went down the mountain, he was trimming the branches and weeds growing along the sides of the road!

He was moving along happily.

The system notification indicated that the "Forest's Malady" quest was complete, and three "Corrupted Branches" immediately appeared in his inventory.

Can I turn in the quest? Is he already within three meters?

Limping Liu's footsteps halted on the spot...

A familiar voice came from behind him.

"Keep walking! Why did you stop?"

Xu Shian stood behind the other person, looking at the system notification he had just received!

【Ding, the quest 'Forest's Malady' issued by Limping Liu is complete. Obtained: Novice Village Reputation +500, Experience Points +100, Gold +1】

【Ding, your talent 'Social Butterfly Syndrome' has triggered, granting an additional 250 points of Novice Village Reputation!】

Limping Liu turned around and took off his bamboo hat!

"Shi Chuan? It's you. I haven't seen you in a few days, and you can already defeat a 【Corrupted Treant】?"

"Thanks to you, I barely managed to win, but I've been looking for you for three days just to turn in the quest... Shouldn't you pay me for the lost time during this period?"

Limping Liu was stunned and cursed him for being shameless!

Unfortunately, he only dared to think about such things.

The other party could even kill a 【Corrupted Treant】; what could he do even with a bow in his hand?

"That's... haha, haven't I been home every day! By the way... is Wu Lun okay?"

Xu Shian's expression suddenly darkened.

"I killed him!"

Limping Liu panicked and cursed inwardly.

Killed him?

If you killed him secretly, you killed him, why are you saying it out loud? You don't want to kill me too, do you?

But thinking of that young man Wu Lun, who met with misfortune at only a dozen years old, you really are inhuman!

"Don't joke..."

"Do I look like I'm joking? I couldn't find you, and Lu Ming was pushing me so hard, what could I do if I didn't kill him?"

Having watched hundreds of movies and thousands of episodes of TV shows, Xu Shian knew very well how a villain should speak.

Lowering his eyelids, drawing out the end of his sentences, and adding a bit of a sigh to his tone...

An Xixi, that professional villain actress, definitely wasn't as good as Xu Shian.

That little milky voice of hers was especially immersion-breaking!

Besides... Wu Lun was truly killed by Xu Shian! The one jumping around outside right now... is a fake!

"Kill... killed is killed, I suppose!"

Limping Liu felt a bit guilty whenever he thought of that young man, who was the youngest in the Militia Team but had already reached level five.

He had completely suffered an undeserved disaster!

However, Limping Liu had no time to care about anyone else's life or death right now!

If things went wrong today, he might die here too.

Xu Shian realized that this Limping Liu didn't have very good mental fortitude!

He clearly didn't have a red name, and Limping Liu himself didn't have a visible health bar, so how could I possibly kill him?

Why would the other party act so fearful?

If only you would look up and look at me a couple more times?

As long as you dared to look up at me, I don't believe you would still be this panicked...

"Since the quest is complete, it seems our business is settled, right?"

Hearing this, Limping Liu was even more shocked.

He couldn't help but blame himself for leaving 'Little Yellow' on the mountain again!

Last time, it was because of the lack of his pet's help that he was just slightly inferior to the other party...

He had thought that he had turned Xu Shian last time, but unexpectedly, he had gotten mixed up with Lu Ming again.

【Ding, Limping Liu has issued a quest to you: Craft 'Soul Revealing Potion'】 Quest Content

Crafting 【Soul Revealing Potion】 requires a large amount of medicinal herbs as supplementary materials. Please bring 20 Firebloom herbs and 20 Kingsblood herbs to Limping Liu within one day; Quest Rewards: Novice Village Reputation +1000, Experience Points +500, Gold +5.

Do you accept?

Xu Shian was just about to ramp up the pressure, but he didn't expect the other party to just throw a quest at him.

However, looking at this quest description, Xu Shian felt that the more he looked at it, the more wrong it seemed!

One day to get 20 Firebloom and 20 Kingsblood?

"Your quest... has a problem, right?"

"What problem? There's no problem with my quest."

"There are no Firebloom or Kingsblood in the Novice Village at all. Where do you expect me to get them in one day? And for such rare goods, you only give five gold coins? Are you trying to get rid of a beggar?"

Hearing Xu Shian say this, Limping Liu also got anxious!

"Both of these herbs are low-level medicinal herbs. I wouldn't say they are everywhere, but the price in the main city Auction House currently doesn't exceed 30 copper coins each... Do you even understand?"

"Is there an Auction House in the Novice Village? Or can I go out?"

Limping Liu heard this and started playing dumb.

"Well, I can't help it... that's what the quest requires!"

Xu Shian looked at him twice.

"After I collect the items, where should I find you? Won't I be unable to see you for another three or four days? You know, I searched this whole mountain today just to find you!"

"Go to my house after 10 PM, I'm basically always there!"

Xu Shian cursed inwardly, are you a night owl? You only go home at 10 PM?

There's no nightlife in this world, what do you need to wait until 10 PM for?

Xu Shian already had both materials, but he didn't plan to turn in the quest right now.

He needed to first figure out what secret was hidden in that house!

Besides, it's a game!

Of course, leveling up should be the top priority!

"Fine, I'll go get the materials. If the quest fails because I can't find you then, I'm going to lose my temper!"

"Don't worry! Don't worry..."

The situation was stronger than the person; who could have imagined that on only the sixth day, someone's strength would already be greater than his own!

No...

Limping Liu suddenly remembered that two days ago, this person was already able to kill him in a one-on-one fight!

It was simply defying the natural order!

Xu Shian used Stealth and Vanished, not wanting Limping Liu to know his movements.

Limping Liu put away his bamboo hat and straw raincoat, and went down the mountain silently.

After leaving the North Mountain, he confirmed again and again that there was no one behind him.

Limping Liu ran towards the Militia Team with flying speed!

"Captain Jia... is Captain Jia there?"

"What's all the shouting about?"

Jia Hu, as the captain of the Militia Team, did management work!

In the first two days after the server opened, it was mainly because he was afraid that too many people wouldn't have any common sense, so he had to keep an eye on the front line.

Seeing that this batch of people had good quality over the past few days, he no longer kept watching them constantly.

Unexpectedly, while he was taking a nap in his office this afternoon, someone was shouting for him outside.

Jia Hu was furious and pushed open the door to see who was disturbing his nap during work hours.

"Limping Liu? Where have you been these days?"

"I... I had things to do!"

"Things to do? Does having things to do mean you can neglect your duty? Does having things to do mean you don't have to come to the team for roll call? Things to do... what things do you have? Shouting like that!"

Hearing Jia Hu mention serious business, Limping Liu quickly stated his purpose.

"Captain Jia, it's bad, the Militia Team's patrolman Wu Lun has been killed!"

Jia Hu was stunned and glanced at Wu Lun, who was eating happily not far away.

Then he looked at Limping Liu, who was speaking with such certainty.

"How do you know?"

"I asked the murderer, and the murderer admitted it himself!"

Jia Hu: ...What the hell!
