Helping each other with countless me.

Chapter 506 Wow! The Golden Legend
The rewards do not appear to be fixed.

This time, after Li Zhongren killed the mad wizard, the reward for the mission, apart from the fixed amount of money, did not give him skill points, but instead gave him items.

"However, this item..."

Looking at the items he had received, Li Zhongren was at a loss for words.

Because, you might say it's bad, but it's very precious.

But while you might say it's precious, it doesn't seem to have much use.

Item Name: Dye (Disposable)
Item Function: You can select any item and freely change its color (Note: the item must conform to the quantifier concept in human social view and cannot refer to a certain type of item in general). The duration varies depending on the item.

At first glance, it seems utterly useless, but between the lines, this thing is indeed quite valuable, because it is a conceptual item, and as everyone knows, conceptual items are never weak. As long as you have a big enough imagination, you can create all sorts of amazing things with this thing.
For example, is the blue star beneath our feet an object?
If he wanted, he could easily change the color of the blue planet to black.

Even if it's just for a minute, it would probably be a devastating blow to the world.

At least from his personal perspective.

The Earth's surface is heating up rapidly and can no longer reflect sunlight. Since the air is the best insulation layer, this will cause the atmospheric temperature to drop sharply, and the global climate will be thrown into chaos. Although he doesn't know exactly how it will be chaotic, it certainly won't be good.
"Fortunately, I'm not some mad scientist."

After returning the items to the system storage space, Li Zhongren yawned and slowly closed his eyes.
"When Zhou Yu beat Huang Gai, one was willing to hit and the other was willing to be hit."

As Li Zhongren drank mutton soup, ate flatbread, and watched the latest news, a scene came to mind.

The reason is simple: the news is that the Central Plains Dynasty has opened access to the secret realm of Feituo City, allowing anyone to enter. However, it also clearly tells outsiders that this secret realm was not created by good people and is filled with various evil methods such as blood sacrifices.

To fully unlock the secret realm and reap the benefits, enough people need to die.

Therefore, those who choose to go in are like Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai—one is willing to hit, and the other is willing to be hit.

Of course, this has nothing to do with him, and Li Zhongren has no interest in it anyway.

Having completed the Mad Wizard's mission, Li Zhongren planned to rest in Feituo City for a few days and have some fun.

Life should be lived in a balance of work and rest.

Especially Feituo City, located on the edge of the Central Plains dynasties, has a unique exotic atmosphere.

Just like the mutton soup here, it's completely different from that in the Central Plains.

In the central region of the Central Plains, people also love to drink soup, but they prefer the original flavor of the soup. Some even go so far as to not add any salt.

Perhaps because resources were scarce in ancient times, people in this remote area like to use a lot of spices, which gives their soups a unique flavor.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Li Zhongren's phone vibrated; it was a message from the Zhuodaoren APP.

This thing is a third-party platform established by the state. Employers can use it to entrust tasks, and ghostwriters can also use it to find tasks. The advantage is that with the state as a guarantor and a deposit, no one can renege on their promise.

Therefore, unless it's a shady mission, most people still prefer to issue tasks through it.

"Missing Person Search Mission"

Simply put, the employer's son has gone missing, and he wants to hire a ghostwriter to find him. As for why he's looking for a ghostwriter, it's because everyone in the world knows that ghostwriters are the best at tracking.

There was even an incident where a gambler went on the run, and the ghostwriter tracked him down, eventually catching not only him but also his brother, who had been missing for many years.
As for why he was sought out, Li Zhongren guessed it was because he was the highest-ranking ghostwriter in Feituo City.

In the context of the entire world, the Mandrill level is the second to last level in the entire supernatural system, belonging to the lowest tier.

However, in the real world, it's not like that at all.

The core of this world's extraordinary system is actually the Changgui level, which in the Western world would be the lowest level, F-class.

This level accounts for more than 90% of all extraordinary individuals in the entire extraordinary system.

Therefore, the mandrill level is actually considered a very powerful superhuman.

If we want a more intuitive, but not quite appropriate, analogy, then a superhuman of the Changgui level is roughly equivalent to a village-level administrator, while a Shanxiao is already equivalent to a county-level administrator.

Of course, in the real world, county-level administrators are actually rarer than superhumans, since the number of superhumans is far greater than the number of county-level administrators.

In short, there's nothing to doubt about being hired by them, especially considering the employment fee they offered was a full fifty million coins.

This has far exceeded the normal standard.

This is the only point of doubt, because such money would be enough to hire even more powerful superhumans.

However, the other party also gave their own explanation.

Human life is at stake, and every second counts. They've already spent the money, and they've even hired more powerful superhumans, but that's none of his business. He'll investigate this first.

"OK!"

Li Zhongren accepted the mission, and then his personal phone was dialed.

"Hello, this is the ghostwriter with employee ID YA-C66566. System-certified professional mandrill level, with verifiable combat records. You can now describe your specific request in detail."

"So, the root cause of your son's disappearance is that he is an introverted boy who behaved terribly at his engagement party, then ran away and never came back, that's the situation, right?"

"Yes."

On the other end of the phone, the boy's father sighed.

"At the time, we just thought he needed to calm down, but then he disappeared."

"How long exactly?"

"24 hours"

"Where was he last seen? I need a place you can be sure of, anywhere you know."

"Blue Sky Church is located in the northeast of Feituo City."

"Okay, see you at the church."

Li Zhongren already roughly knew the other party's location, but as he had said before, one must be vigilant. He had to make it clear that he was about to reach the place where the other party would finally appear before continuing to use his abilities.

Moreover, there's another point: he needs to be absolutely certain that the place is where the other party appeared during the last period of time. He needs to be able to confirm this to prevent others from seeing through his little tricks. Of course, there's no need to worry about that now, as his liquid metal skin itself has super strong perception capabilities.

As for the church.

In this remote border region, the people believe in gods.

Especially since this world also possesses extraordinary powers.

Therefore, faith is widespread.

Even in the Central Plains dynasties, where there was little environment for religious belief, dozens of unique religions could be found with one's eyes closed. However, all of them had to be under the supervision of the Central Plains dynasty, otherwise they would be defined as cults and suffer devastating blows.

Ten minutes later, Li Zhongren scaled the walls and glided directly from the rooftop using his liquid skin.

He arrived at his destination, a church full of exotic charm, the church of the desert god.

Because Feituo City is located next to the desert, a significant portion of the local population worships this so-called desert god.

“YA-C66566, you can call me Liu Zi.”

Wearing a privacy mask, Li Zhongren extended his hand and shook hands with his employer.

Actually, not all ghostwriters are so careful. Many ghostwriters don't even mind becoming famous. But Li Zhongren's predecessor has always been like this, and he himself can't change it. However, if he finds an opportunity and his identity is accidentally exposed, he won't bother pretending anymore.

Anyway, his ability comes from completing missions; the greater his fame, the more missions he gets.

"Mr. Liu, please come in."

Led by his employer, Li Zhongren entered a church for the first time in his life.

The interior was decorated in gold, and in the very center was a balance scale.

This is the core doctrine of the desert god: fairness.

The reason is simple: this is a barren land where farming is practically impossible. Therefore, trade has been the primary mode of life since ancient times. And in business, the biggest annoyance is being shortchanged. Thus, the fair and just desert god was born. Of course, that's not the main point.

Li Zhongren simply spun around in the room, while silken threads, resembling silkworm silk, emanated from his body.

These threads climbed and explored, quickly extracting all the information within.

The situation was pretty much as the employer had described. Based on the remaining pheromones, a man ran out of here, and he seemed to be driven by some kind of suicidal mentality.

A moment later, Li Zhongren returned to his employer's side.

"One good news and one bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"

"Ok."

The employer replied.

"The good news is that I have a lead and can try to track him down, but the bad news is that the direction is in."

When Li Zhongren pointed, the boy's parents immediately turned into bitter faces.

The reason is simple: the direction Li Zhongren pointed in was the direction of the most famous and also the most deadly attraction in Feituo City, the ruins.

Normally, Li Zhongren would definitely not want to get involved, after all, ruins are too dangerous places, even dogs wouldn't go there.
go with!
Holy crap, he actually stumbled upon the legendary golden quest!

go with!
why do not you go?
Gold-tier quests always reward you with decent items!
"All I can say is that we will do our best. You locals know how dangerous that place is."

"I know, just do your best."

The man sighed. Since the task was commissioned through the Ghostwriter app, he didn't doubt its authenticity.

"Also, if you have the extra energy, you can look into this as well."

"what?"

The client looked completely bewildered.

"That's right, an enemy."

"What??"

"Ruins are not easy to enter. My special ability can pinpoint a person's location to a certain extent. Your son's final location in the ruins is at least there. Ordinary people, without the help of outsiders, cannot go that deep."

"I see."

The man took a deep breath, his face showing not only worry but also a hint of ruthlessness.

Li Zhongren was very familiar with this expression.

This is the expression of someone who has been through the rough and tumble of life.

Without a doubt, this wealthy family must have once been involved in the martial arts world.

And having traversed the martial world, one is bound to encounter enemies.

His son was most likely taken to the ruins by his enemies.

Since that's the case, let's go our separate ways and take our leave.

Having said that, Li Zhongren didn't bother to say anything more and ran directly toward the ruins. As for the issue of enemies, that was none of his concern. He only needed to bring his employer's son back. If the other party was still alive, then anyone who stood in his way would be his enemy. It was that simple.

"Master, we..."

"Let's talk about it after we get in the car."

Watching Li Zhongren fly through the city like a flying man and disappear in an instant, the man got into the car.

The man's wife was also in the car, along with several other people, presumably his subordinates.

"Brother, is what that ghostwriter said credible?"

"Basically credible."

The man spoke.

"Moreover, some people do have motives."

"Who?"

"That guy who showed up uninvited at the engagement party."

"he?"

An image came to mind for everyone: a clergyman.

In Feituo City, and even throughout the entire Northwest region.

The influence of the desert god religion is significant.

It can even affect every aspect of a person's life.

Like this time, their family is very wealthy, and the daughter his son wants to marry is a descendant of clergy, so that their family can be cleansed. However, in reality, the descendants of the clergy are not driven to desperation and do not want to do this.

Yesterday, that clergyman showed up uninvited. After his son made a mistake, he deliberately made a few sarcastic remarks, causing his son to run away. At the time, he thought it was just the usual arrogance of the clergyman, but now it seems that it may not be so.

"Third brother, go and have someone investigate that guy. Find out what he's up to now!"

"I'll go myself."

"That's fine."

"Hu~~"

A strong wind swept by.

Li Zhongren was completely covered in liquid metal skin, making him look less like a human and more like an armored robot.

The wind and sand lashed against his liquid metal skin, making a crisp, tinkling sound.

He has now left Feituo City.

Ahead lies the direction of the ruins, about ten kilometers away from Feituo City.

Therefore, in a flat desert like this, Li Zhongren could actually see the distant ruins.

It's like a ruin that's jutted out at an angle into the desert.

This is the view from a distance, from the sky.

However, when you approach it or walk into it, you will directly enter another world.

This refers to terms like demiplane, secret realm, and domain.

"Human Cannon."

"Prepare."

Running over ten kilometers would be a huge waste of time.

Therefore, Li Zhongren directly used the new method he had recently developed.

Suddenly, the liquid metal skin beneath his feet expanded, transforming into two enormous air sacs that instantly absorbed a large amount of air. Then, the skin contracted, increasing the pressure.

Under the light of translucent skin, the air is visibly compressed into a liquid state.

The huge temperature difference even caused Li Zhongren's body to turn slightly red!
"Pfft!"

The next moment, Li Zhongren suddenly jumped into the sky, and the skin under his feet split open evenly to reveal nozzles.

A large amount of compressed liquid air gushed out.

Li Zhongren was propelled like a rocket, flying towards the ruins with a whooshing sound.
