187: A series of missions begins: rescue the village chief.

Meanwhile, Lin Yue was undertaking a Chain Quest.

This was an inconspicuous Village located outside the Outer Area of Emerald Valley, inhabited by seven people.

They were the old Drunkard who drank all day, the Scholar obsessed with Alchemy, the Woman skilled in Pharmacy, the capable Hunter, and the Twin Brothers who shared a psychic connection.

There was also the old Village Chief who wandered around outside the Emerald Valley all day.

The Village's water source was blocked by rocks, forcing them to fetch water from a place a hundred miles away.

Lin Yue cleared the water channel, solving their water supply problem.

"Oh, my dear Adventurer, thank you for solving our difficulties."

"There is an Emerald Valley over there, and our Village Chief is trapped inside."

"We hope you can rescue our Village Chief!"

The scruffy old Drunkard said this in front of Lin Yue.

"quest Requirement: Rescue the Village Chief."

"Quest Reward: A clue regarding a Mysterious Treasure Trove."

"Quest Penalty: dual resistances halved."

Lin Yue accepted the quest without hesitation; this was exactly the same as the Strategy Guide from his previous life.

However, completing this quest was not a simple matter.

This quest had no Rank restriction, but the lowest Rank of Wild Monsters inside was Rank 70.

"System: You have accepted the quest to rescue the Village Chief."

quest Requirement: A group of Yao Beasts resides in the Outer Area of Emerald Valley. The Village Chief is trapped by the Yao Beasts. Rescue the Village Chief and you will receive a clue regarding a Mysterious Treasure Trove.

Quest Penalty: dual resistances halved.

Quest Reward: A clue regarding the Mysterious Treasure Trove.

After accepting the quest, Lin Yue immediately rushed to the Outer Area of Emerald Valley without stopping.

This was a Forest, surrounded by tall, dense trees.

The lighting in the Forest was dim, and almost no sunlight could be seen.

Lin Yue moved forward through the Forest, searching for the Village Chief's trace.

Soon, he saw the first Yao Beast.

Feng Yan Ancient Serpent (Normal): Rank 70

health: 2,000,000 / 2,000,000

Attack: 42,554

That was a large brown snake, measuring three meters long.

It had faint spotted markings on its body and warily flicked its tongue at Lin Yue.

This kind of Normal Wild Monster was someone Lin Yue could solve with a casual wave of his hand.

Lin Yue raised his hand and cast Chain Fireball; two fireballs larger than the snake struck the large snake directly.

-999,999

-999,999

Lin Yue's Damage was now outrageously high. During the battle between the Overlord Guild and the White Jade Capital Guild, he had been Farming Wild Monsters at a Rank 70 Farming Spot.

"Brother Hao, it's over, we won!"

Suddenly, Old Bai sent a message.

Lin Yue looked at the message, and the image of the Ba Tian Group's demise already appeared in his mind.

"Well done. Now we just wait for those Shareholders to come looking for you!"

"The Ba Tian Group currently owes a lot of Loans. Go to them now and demand 2 billion in Compensation."

"If they refuse to pay, spread the word and continue to pressure them."

"Overlord Invincible also owes a lot,"

"Those Creditors will definitely come to collect debts. Overlord Invincible can only sell his family's Shares now."

"But no one would dare accept them now. The only valuable thing the Ba Tian Group has left is the company itself."

"Calculate the Valuation, figure out how much it's worth. Overlord Invincible cannot be left with a single penny."

"When they sell the company, that's when we strike!"

Old Bai saw Lin Yue's reply, checked the messages from the Shareholders on his phone, and turned off the phone.

Since the Ba Tian Group matter had begun to progress, Lin Yue needed to focus on his own Development.

That guy Wang Chongshan won't be arrogant for much longer.

With Lin Yue's current Strength, he was indeed in a league of his own in the game.

But this was only among Players; compared to those Advanced NPCs, he was still far behind.

Attacking Xuanwu City would have to wait until he reached at least Rank 100.

Now, Lin Yue needed to increase his Strength to meet the upcoming challenges.

In the blink of an eye, a group of Feng Yan Ancient Serpents attacked Lin Yue. Lin Yue raised his hand and cast Thunder Punishment.

-1,500,000

-1,500,000

...After resolving the trouble here, Lin Yue continued forward. Three huge Walking Beasts blocked his path.

Red Rock Male Lion (elite): Rank 70

health: 4,400,000

Attack: 125,100

Skills: Shock Roar (stun), Red Rock Armor.

The Red Rock Male Lion was massive, as tall as three or four stories.

The male lion's mane made it look majestic, and its Red Rock skin inspired reverence.

If a lion like this truly appeared in Reality, it would probably be worshipped as a Divine Beast.

Three elite Rank Wild Monsters with four million health might indeed be tricky, but for Lin Yue, it was a simple matter.

Lin Yue started with Thunder Tyrant. Thunder clouds roared in the sky, and a thunderstorm poured down.

The three lions seemed to sense the terror of the thunderstorm and scrambled to escape.

But it was too late!

The fine thunderstorm rain fell upon the massive lions, causing the Red Rock Male Lions' Health to drop rapidly.

-1,500,000

-1,500,000

...In just one encounter, Lin Yue dealt with the Red Rock Male Lions in front of him.

"Elite Wild Monsters are already appearing here. The one trapping the Village Chief must be an Advanced Boss!"

Lin Yue did not stop and continued running deeper into the Forest.

Along the way, he encountered more Feng Yan Ancient Serpents and Red Rock Male Lions.

But these could not stop his pace; they didn't even manage to hold him up for a moment.

As he passed them, Lin Yue was Looting Corpses along the way.

The closer he got to the depths of the Forest, the more Wild Monsters Lin Yue encountered.

When he saw a Rugged Man surrounded by Yao Beasts, he realized there were thousands of Yao Beasts.

A scale like this could easily overwhelm a fully-equipped Rank 70 Player Team.

Lin Yue unleashed Thunder Tyrant, and the thunder roared past.

Thousands of Yao Beasts instantly turned to ash amidst the surging thunder.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Yue had killed all the Yao Beasts in front of him.

Lin Yue had Cai Wenji clear out the outside Mobs while he went to rescue the Village Chief.

He quickly walked up to the Village Chief, grabbed him, and started walking out.

"Hurry, I'll take you out."

The Village Chief's mouth was wide open, and he was speechless for a moment.

The Yao Beasts that had caused him so much trouble were completely powerless against the Young Man before him.

These Yao Beasts were all Rank 70.

Although the Young Man in front of him had hidden his information, the Strength he displayed already proved his power.

Just as Lin Yue was pulling the Village Chief and running out of the Forest, a roar came from deep within the Forest.

Immediately, Flying Birds flew up in alarm, and the Walking Beasts scattered.

"Trying to leave? It won't be that easy!"

With a crash, a Yao Beast the size of a small mountain slammed down directly in front of Lin Yue.

It opened its eyes, and a pair of eyes glowing with yellow light appeared before Lin Yue.

Its eyes were the size of lanterns, and it exhaled a cloudy gas from its mouth.

"If you want to leave, you have to get past me first!"

The Giant Beast slammed a paw onto the ground. The ground immediately collapsed, and countless cracks appeared around them.

The cracks spread out, heading toward the spot where Lin Yue was standing.
