Legend of the Pinnacle of Online Games

Chapter 183 S-Rank Hidden Mission

When Lin Hanchuan spoke, he showed absolutely no humility.

It's all about confidence!

"You little rascal!" Gan Luo said, both amused and exasperated, looking at Lin Hanchuan, "Become a god? You're really confident!"

Gan Luo acknowledged Lin Hanchuan's potential.

The potential for the future is really high!
But becoming a god is not an easy thing.

Even the creator of the Berserker Archmage class, known as the strongest Berserker Archmage in history, did not become a god.

In the history of Wangyue City, no one has ever become a god.

"If I don't become a god, who will?" Lin Hanchuan said confidently. "Among foreigners, I have the greatest potential!"

Becoming a god is not a simple matter.

But for Lin Hanchuan, or for any player, one of the biggest dreams is to become a god during the descent.

When the first server opened, the official team did some promotional work related to becoming a god - I am descending, waiting for you to become a god!

Of all the beings Lin Hanchuan knows in the entire process of descending, the one closest to becoming a god is the Soul Emperor.

In the previous life, District 9 developed to its final stage.

I've already reached the peak of the ninth level.

He's just one step away from becoming a demigod.

Among Lin Hanchuan's friends are several demigods.

Among the top players at the time, it was rumored that some of them became gods.

In addition, Lin Hanchuan had guessed from the beginning that the main storyline of the hidden demon-related quest he was currently undertaking should ultimately be related to becoming a god.

The Crescent Moon Goddess died within the territory of Moon Gazing City. Her legacy is likely still intact; otherwise, Moon Gazing City in its previous life wouldn't have been so powerful.

"Sigh!!" Gan Luo sighed, but also felt relieved. As long as Lin Hanchuan didn't get into trouble, he really had a good chance of becoming a god. He had great potential, was smart, and most importantly, was confident. No matter whether things succeeded or not, he had to have that kind of aura first.

A person who is always subservient and humble will never achieve great things.

He felt that times had changed, and he, with his head full of white hair, was once him. Now, the younger generation was pushing the older generation aside, and he was not far from being washed ashore.

"Boss Gan Luo, so what's next?" Ke Cha asked, looking at Gan Luo.

Gan Luo didn't speak, but his nod conveyed his thoughts.

Arakawa Hakuyo was brought here to help him resolve his current troubles.

They should have been in control of this matter, demanding that Arakawa Hakuyo follow their lead.

But Arakawa Hakuyo only said it in a few words.

Good guy!
They directly occupy the high ground, reversing the order of importance.

They couldn't refute it yet.

After all, judging from the current situation, it is indeed Lin Hanchuan who is enduring humiliation and bearing heavy burdens. A weak foreigner is willing to sacrifice himself to help Wangyue City eliminate those demons who are disguised as humans.

These powerful native humans were more like bystanders, watching the demons trample their city at will.

“We called you here not just to tell you who the devil is!” After getting Gan Luo’s consent, Kecha said slowly, “We want to bring you into a plan. Originally, we wanted to give you two choices: join or not join.”

"But now there's no need to ask. Even if we don't let you join, you'll definitely ask to join."

Lin Hanchuan smiled and nodded.

This rhythm means a mission is about to be triggered.

It wasn't in vain that I wasted so much breath.

As someone who has been through it all, Lin Hanchuan has mastered a unique way of triggering tasks.

When NPCs speak during the arrival event, never be modest.

Treat him like a normal person. Since it's your first meeting and he doesn't know you well, talk more and elevate yourself. If you have fighting power, talk about it; if not, talk about potential; if not, talk about financial resources; if not, talk about luck; if you're unlucky, talk about connections; if you don't have good connections, talk about your ancestors...

There's always one that's presentable.

If he were exposed, only the other person would be embarrassed; he almost believed it.

If you believe them, you only need to reach a point where the other person approves of you.

This can trigger a task or a hidden event.

While waiting, Kocha revealed his plan.

"The name of this plan is—[Demon Slayer]!"

Upon hearing the name of the plan.

Lin Hanchuan immediately became interested. "Mr. Kecha, could you please explain in more detail?"

There are quite a few high-level demons in Moon Gazing City; in terms of density, they are even denser than those in the Abyss, which is teeming with demons.

Killing one grants a massive amount of experience points and high-quality loot.

If we kill them all.

Lin Hanchuan couldn't help but drool just thinking about it.

Looking at Lin Hanchuan, who had suddenly perked up, Kecha continued with satisfaction, "This plan began to be prepared from the day we confirmed that the demons had invaded Wangyue City and that the Crescent Moon God was powerless to resist!"

"According to the intelligence we have obtained, the strongest group of demons who invaded Wangyue City have been almost entirely killed in the clash with the Crescent Moon God and the Crescent Moon God Church. They were the strongest of various races carefully selected by the Demon God Temple."

"The demons currently existing in Wangyue City were sent over by the Demon God Temple at a huge cost after all the clergy within the New Moon Church died."

"In terms of combat strength, they are far inferior to the first batch."

"Therefore, we want to use our own strength to assassinate them one by one."

"The plan was proposed by Boss Gan Luo. The first person he invited was Mr. Morris, but he said that the demon-slaying plan was too idealistic. The demons would not give us enough time to kill them slowly."

Gan Luo then picked up where Ke Cha left off, saying regretfully, "Morris chose a quick victory, taking advantage of the fact that the overall strength of this batch of demons entering Wangyue City is not yet strong, and that the Demon God Temple is still wary of the gods of Tianqi Continent and dares not send powerful demons to Wangyue City in a high-profile manner. Through a head-on confrontation, he aims to kill as many demons as possible in Wangyue City and cut off the teleportation channel between the Demon God Temple and Wangyue City."

"If the plan fails, we will do everything in our power to escape Wangyue City, travel to other cities, and seek the help of the Apocalyptic God."

“Maurice makes a good point, but if we really have to go to war head-on, putting aside the fact that our overall strength is inferior to that of the demons, just consider this: after this battle, how many people do you think will still be alive in Moongazing City?”

Gan Luo paused for a moment, then shook his head.

"Not a single one!"

"This city will be reduced to ruins, and everyone will die!"

"By then, Wangyue City will disappear like dust into the long river of history of the Tianqi Continent."

"Therefore, I believe that we must not confront them head-on. We can only secretly plan ahead and slowly look for opportunities to kill those demons one by one."

"The plan was originally scheduled to begin at least another month later, but the demons are getting impatient during negotiations and are likely to attack us at any cost. After killing us, they'll have other demons impersonate us."

"This forced the plan to start ahead of schedule. Fortunately, after such a long period of effort, we have almost grasped the movement patterns and identities of all the demons in Wangyue City."

"The first target was the deputy city lord, William. He is currently the weakest of the upper-level demons, but he wields considerable power. He played a significant role in Sharp's defection to the demons." Lin Hanchuan listened intently to their analysis of the demons' strength within Wangyue City for the first time.

Among the high-ranking demons, William is the weakest.

Lin Hanchuan wrote it down.

Gan Luo: "However, because of you, we have temporarily changed our target to Chers."

"Sorry!" Lin Hanchuan replied.

Gan Luo shook his head and said, "You don't need to apologize. The reason we've changed our target to Chers isn't because you might be in danger, but because if we get your help, the success rate of assassinating Chers will be higher than that of assassinating William."

"You've already analyzed the reasons before."

"I just want to confirm with you one last time, are you willing to join? You are Morris's only student, and I'm willing to give you a chance to withdraw."

Just as he was looking at Lin Hanchuan, a system notification suddenly rang in his mind.

"Ding! Please note that Gan Luo of the Moon Gazing City Mercenary Guild is inviting you to join the human faction and participate in a special mission—[Demon Slayer]. Are you willing?"

Lin Hanchuan looked at the text message on the personal panel that floated in front of him and immediately replied, "I'm willing!"

"Good, very good!!" Gan Luo patted Lin Hanchuan on the shoulder with satisfaction. "Whether this demon-slaying mission succeeds or fails, as long as you live, I will give you a rare item!"

“Me too!” Kocha added.

Before Lin Hanchuan could answer, the system notification sounded again.

System: "Ding! Congratulations! You have successfully joined the human faction of Wangyue City and obtained the S-rank hidden quest—[Demon Slayer]!"

[Demon Slayer]

Difficulty: S-rank hidden

As the president of the Mercenary Guild, Gan Luo had long suspected that a large number of demons had infiltrated Moonrise City, posing as residents in an attempt to gradually turn the city into a landing point for the Abyss's invasion of the Apocalypse Continent. He refused to accept this situation and was determined to use his actions to save Moonrise City from the demonic threat.

Special Reward 1: Receive the full support of the Mercenary Guild and the Merchant Guild, with all item and quest prices discounted by 50%!

Special Reward 2: For each demon of level 100 or above killed, you will receive 10 free attribute points and 2 hidden attribute points.

Special Reward 3: If both Gan Luo and Ke Cha die, this quest will be open to all players in Wangyue City and upgraded to an SSS-level faction quest, giving you control!
Completion Rewards: Two rare items (confirmed), other rewards will be determined based on the final completion rate of the mission.

Task deadline: None!

Penalty for failure: You will be banished from Moongazing City by the demons of Moongazing City.

"hiss!!"

Lin Hanchuan inhaled sharply through his teeth.

I actually got an S-rank hidden mission.

The mission hasn't even started yet, and two rare items have already been reserved.

"How can I help you?" Lin Hanchuan asked immediately.

The demon-slaying mission and Lin Hanchuan's current hidden mission highly overlap, and the first target to be killed in both is Chers.

“Maintain a good relationship with Chers, and when the time is right, take him to 16 Red Dragon Street in North Fifth District. We will wait for him there.”

“No problem!” Lin Hanchuan readily agreed. Although Chers didn’t have any powerful demons as friends, he still had quite a few demon underlings. If the Magic Potion Guild hunted him down, his demon underlings would inevitably inform the other demons.

Lure him to another location and kill him; that would indeed be a very good option.

"Hmm..." Lin Hanchuan hesitated for a moment, but finally made his request, "When the time comes, can I finish off him?"

Lin Hanchuan wanted to take down Chertz.

Not only can you gain a lot of experience points, but you can also get loot.

You can also take advantage of this to complete the hidden B-rank quest you have – [Assassinate High-Ranking Demons].

Get it in one fell swoop!
"No problem!" Gan Luo readily agreed.

Once Chers enters 16 Red Dragon Street, whether he lives or dies is entirely up to them.

Chers was very wary of them.

But in his eyes, Lin Hanchuan was just a lamb to the slaughter, posing no threat whatsoever.

Therefore, his wariness of Lin Hanchuan naturally decreased, and he was more willing to believe what he said.

After setting the mission, Lin Hanchuan took the opportunity to ask them some questions about the other demons inside Wangyue City.

We talked for an hour.

Lin Hanchuan received a bombshell piece of information—the demons posing as villagers in the various beginner villages are entering Wangyue City.

They will either continue living in Wangyue City under their original identities, or they will find a suitable resident in Wangyue City to impersonate, kill that resident, and then take his place.

"No wonder my intermediate-level demon identification eye hasn't been able to identify a single demon disguised as a resident in Moon Gazing City yet. It turns out the lower-level ones haven't come up yet."

At this moment, Lin Hanchuan suddenly realized the truth.

The D-level hidden quest in the beginner village, "Revenge," grants him the Intermediate Demon Identification Eye upon completion.

He can see through the disguises of demons whose level is no more than 10 levels higher than his.

But what's strange is that...

He had been in the city of Wangyue for so long, and apart from the Parasitic Demon, there wasn't a single low-level demon he encountered.

This led him to believe that most of the demons in Moon Gazing City were of high level.

It turns out that the lower-level players are still in the beginner village.

They didn't come up!
This is good news for Lin Hanchuan.

Whether it's a demon attribute token or a demon hunter, they all need to eat.

The large ones are too big to cut.

The smaller ones aren't just one after another.

After chatting.

Lin Hanchuan did not choose to leave the Chamber of Commerce, but instead used the Realm Teleportation Token on the spot.

The moment Lin Hanchuan's figure disappeared.

The female vice president of the chamber of commerce behind Kecha looked at the spot where Lin Hanchuan disappeared with a suspicious expression, and then couldn't help but say to Gan Luo, "Boss Gan Luo, it seems that the teleportation method used by Huangchuan Baixiao is not normal. It is somewhat similar to Sharp's demon plant teleportation."

"Could it be that Sharp gave it to him?"

“That’s Sharp’s lifeline. Do you think he would give it to Arakawa White Owl?” Gan Luo replied with a smile.

The female vice president hesitated and said, "Could it be my imagination?"

"You're not mistaken," Gan Luo said with a relieved expression. "The rumors might be true; that boundary-specific demonic plant isn't dead yet!"

"He also placed his bet on Arakawa White Owl!"
