Legend of the Pinnacle of Online Games

Chapter 19 The Lost Ones' Tavern

A B-level team mission, barring any unforeseen circumstances, should be one of the highest-level missions in the No. 56 beginner village.

The killing of NPCs, in particular, immediately piqued Lin Hanchuan's interest. "Tell me in more detail."

"Uh!" Seemingly recalling an embarrassing incident, Dark Legend scratched his head before saying, "It was triggered suddenly after I killed an old white-bearded NPC!"

The mission is called—[The Last Wish of the White-Bearded Old Man]

"In this village, there is an underground tavern. The old man's grandson used to work there, but one day he suddenly disappeared. The mission was to find that grandson and kill him."

"It's a bit difficult, but if you join, it shouldn't be a big problem."

After finishing his story, Black Night Legend looked quietly at Lin Hanchuan, waiting for his answer.

To be honest, even Underworld didn't quite understand what this mission meant.

The grandson went missing, then they found him, and then they killed him.

The task requirements are completely illogical.

But since it's a B-grade item, then it's fine.

Just follow the mission requirements when the time comes: find it, then kill it.

The only difference is that they killed NPCs.

Having learned my lesson the hard way about killing NPCs in Dark Legends before, I almost refused the quest the first time I triggered it.

I came here this time to see if I could bring Arakawa White Owl in. In the entire newbie village, it seems that he is the only one who doesn't get a red name when killing NPCs and even gets experience and item drops.

If Arakawa Hakuo refuses, then so be it.

I'm not doing this task anymore.

Lin Hanchuan pondered for a moment, roughly grasping the idea, and nodded, saying, "Count me in!"

"Ok!"

Dark Legend immediately nodded.

After that, he applied to add Lin Hanchuan as a friend and immediately invited him to join the team mission.

"Ding! Attention! Player 'Night Legend' invites you to join the B-level team mission - The Last Wish of the White-Bearded Grandpa. Do you agree?"

Lin Hanchuan agreed.

"Ding! Congratulations! You have successfully obtained a new quest—[The Last Wish of the White-Bearded Old Man]"

[The Old Man with the White Beard's Last Wish]

Difficulty: Level B, 5-player team mission

Hidden within the seemingly ordinary No. 56 beginner village is an underground tavern, located in the well beneath the courtyard of house number 35 in the northwest alley. The grandson of the white-bearded old man worked at that tavern until one day, he lost contact. The white-bearded old man was very anxious, but later seemed to have discovered something and wanted someone to help him find his grandson and kill him.

Completion Rewards: Rewards will be determined based on the final completion rate.

Scheduled time: None!

Penalty for failure: None!

Lin Hanchuan read through the mission details one by one.

Clearly, the white-bearded man had discovered that his grandson had become a demon and wanted to kill him.

However, due to concerns for family ties, or perhaps fear of implicating others, they kept the matter to themselves and did not take any concrete action.

The quest can only be triggered after he dies.

It overlapped somewhat with my hidden mission.

Lin Hanchuan took out some red potions from his spatial ring and tossed them to Black Legend and his two henchmen. "Take these, let's do this mission together!"

"Thank you, boss!" Dark Legend didn't stand on ceremony. He took the potion from Lin Hanchuan, kept some for himself, and distributed the rest to his two underlings.

"Don't mention it!" Lin Hanchuan said nonchalantly.

Lin Hanchuan's straightforwardness made the members of Black Night Legend secretly breathe a sigh of relief. They were afraid that Lin Hanchuan was an arrogant person who would order them around during the mission.

It seems that Arakawa Haku is quite friendly. "We all know you, but you don't seem to know much about us."

"Legend of the Night" spoke up at this moment.

"My ID is Night Legend, Hunter. I died once before when I was a red name, and I'm currently level 1. I have a level 92 Hunter main in the third server, so I know the basics of team operation and coordination."

Lin Hanchuan nodded.

When forming a temporary team, it's basic for teammates to introduce themselves to each other.

"My profession is a warrior, and my talent is C-level [Reconnaissance], which allows me to see hidden information about targets." The boy with the ID "Little Wooden Man" above his head then smiled and said to Lin Hanchuan, "Just tell me if you need any information to check later."

“Okay!” Lin Hanchuan replied with a smile. Having a reconnaissance player in the team who can help the team obtain additional intelligence is still very important.

However, he wanted to see information about the demon.

We really have to wait for the other party to take the initiative to tear off their disguise.

The burly young man behind Dark Legend, whose ID read "Heavy Tank Reborn," said in a muffled voice, "I'm a tank, and my talent is E-rank [Heavy Armor]. If a battle breaks out, you just need to stand behind me. I played tanks in the sixth district for a year."

……

……

Northwest corner, the courtyard of house number 35.

Lin Hanchuan and his group slowly made their way down to the bottom of a well.

The bottom of the well had long since dried up and was very hard to walk on. There was only a dark passage on the right side of the bottom of the well that led forward.

Lin Han raised his hand and cast a light spell, instantly dispelling the darkness and revealing a narrow, winding underground passage, somewhat similar to the underground corridor of a pharmacy, but much narrower.

“The tavern should be at the end of this road!” Dark Legend whispered to Lin Hanchuan.

Lin Hanchuan nodded.

"Let's get started!"

The heavy tank walked in front, holding the black iron shield given to him by the system. With each step, he would look back at the little wooden figure.

The little wooden figure kept using its talent to detect whether there were any traps ahead in the passage.

The Night Legend, a hunter, followed cautiously behind, wielding a hunter's scimitar.

Lin Hanchuan, who was at the very back of the group, would cast a light spell every now and then to illuminate the path ahead of the group.

If a foolish demon were to appear on this road, this long, serpentine defensive formation would allow Lin Hanchuan to easily destroy it.

We proceeded cautiously and slowly.

In more than twenty minutes, I only walked 300 meters.

Another lighting spell is activated.

"I see!"

The heavy tank at the front immediately turned around and said to those behind him, "The tavern is just ahead!"

Looking past the three people's heads, Lin Hanchuan saw a wooden door and a sign on it.

The Loser's Tavern

Ahhhhh!
Ho ho ho! !

Faintly, Lin Hanchuan heard a series of inhuman roars and shouts.

Lin Hanchuan recalled a piece of information he had seen on a forum in his previous life about the starting villages of Wangyue City. In each starting village of Wangyue City, there was a gathering point for demons. Demons who played the role of villagers would enter the village to vent their hidden emotions.

The demon gathering points are different in each village.

The demon gathering point in starting village #56...

Lin Hanchuan stared at the tightly closed wooden door of the tavern.

This must be the tavern!
