Legend of the Pinnacle of Online Games

Hidden quests following Chapter 28
Rare items are special items that appear during the event.

Very rare.

Each one has its unique function.

For ordinary players, it's an item that only exists in legends.

In his previous life, Lin Hanchuan risked his life to obtain just one item.

In the first region, after playing for two years and becoming a Dharma King, I only managed to acquire three items.

The Ninth District just opened, and on the first day in the newbie village, I completed an F-level hidden quest and achieved an SSS-level rating, for which the system rewarded me.

At this moment, Lin Hanchuan finally understood why the local forces of Wangyue City remained silent, even when the entire internet knew that a large number of NPCs in Wangyue City were demons and the rumors were rampant.

"If an F-rank hidden quest rewards rare items, what about the higher-rank hidden quests in the future?"

"These guys were making a fortune in silence!"

"No wonder two of the top ten in the Ninth District's overall combat power ranking came from Wangyue City. They really were living in a golden house."

Looking down at the palm-sized, round, rare item in his hand—the [Demon Attribute Token]—Lin Hanchuan grinned so hard his teeth almost showed.

There are two types of rare items.

The first type is unique; there is only one such thing in the entire descent, and there is no second one.

The second type is not unique and can be repeated, such as various attribute crystals, but they are very difficult to obtain.

Each type is further subdivided into: fixed and upgradeable.

Rare items of the same type that can be upgraded are naturally more valuable.

For example, this [Demon Attribute Token] in my hand.

"You can reach level two by killing a total of 50 demons."

"One star can give me a total of 10 free attribute points and 3 hidden attribute points!"

"What about the two stars?"

Lin Hanchuan had seen items that could add permanent attribute points before, but he had never seen one this powerful, one that could even grant hidden attributes!

Lin Hanchuan was eager to kill the demon.

As for the side effects of the Demon Attribute Token—when equipping it, killing demons will not grant experience points or drops.

For Lin Hanchuan, this was completely dispensable. Exchanging experience points and drops for extra attribute points was a huge profit!
After playing with the Demon Attribute Token for a while and calming down a bit, Lin Hanchuan put it in his backpack and selected to equip it.

Pulling out his personal panel, Lin Hanchuan continued to allocate the 5 free attribute points he had just gained to his Intelligence.

As for the two hidden attributes, Lin Hanchuan hesitated between Luck and Comprehension for a moment, but finally chose to put all his points into Luck.

The initial luck value of 3 points immediately increased to 5 points.

With the help of the [God of Laws] talent, I have already gained "minor enlightenment" in comprehension. Adding more points now is just icing on the cake.

On the contrary, luck affects too many things. If it weren't for the [God of Magic] talent that could double comprehension, Lin Hanchuan would have chosen to add points to luck from the beginning.

In addition to affecting a player's luck, increasing drop rates, and triggering story events, luck value also grants a lucky aura when it reaches 20 points.

"With this demon attribute token, I should be able to get the lucky aura in the future."

Lin Hanchuan held out hope.

Exiting the personal attributes panel, Lin Hanchuan returned to the task settlement interface, still having missed checking the task rewards.

[The right to trigger a hidden quest]: After a detailed investigation, you discover that in this seemingly peaceful and normal beginner village, there are actually a large number of demons playing the role of villagers, and even the village chief and priest are demons.

These demons seem to be deliberately suppressing their inner urge to kill for some purpose, refraining from harming humans or attacking their own kind, and trying to make themselves look more like humans.

Having investigated this far, you now know that the humans who originally existed behind them are dead. As a fellow human being from another land, what do you want to do for them next? (Choose one of three) 1. Continue the investigation to gain a deeper understanding of the demon's purpose in impersonating the villagers. (E-rank hidden quest)
2. Begin the carnage to avenge the villagers who died at number 56. (D-rank hidden quest)
3. Ignore everything, level up to 10, and leave Beginner Village 56 for Wangyue City. (Automatically exit subsequent quests)
Note: If you accept the subsequent mission, you will come under the village chief's scrutiny.

"It really is a hidden quest!"

Lin Hanchuan said in a deep voice, "The third option should definitely be ignored. If the hidden quest about the demon is progressive, then we must continue."

"As for the first and second..."

Lin Hanchuan's gaze wandered between continuing the investigation and initiating the killing spree. After pondering for a while, he finally settled on option 2.

"Although you can gain extra attribute points by killing demons during the investigation, directly choosing to kill demons seems more challenging."

"If F-rank hidden quests are already rare, what about D-rank ones?"

"Moreover, the priest and the village chief have long been on my kill list."

call!
Take a deep breath.

Lin Hanchuan chose option 2.

The system notification tone sounded immediately.

"Ding! Please note that you have selected to continue the hidden quest and confirmed 'Initiate the carnage'!"

Congratulations! You have successfully obtained the hidden storyline quest – [Revenge]

Penalty for failure: None!

Lin Hanchuan accepting the mission.

Newbie Village #56, Village Chief's House.

The village chief, who had just finished inspecting the newbie village, returned home, stood in the yard, stroked his goatee, and looked up at the sky.

Standing next to him was a middle-aged man with a reserved expression.

The village chief, who was gazing at the sky at a 45-degree angle, suddenly spoke, his voice soft and gentle, "Today I saw a very promising foreigner in the village who actually beat X."

“I’m a little worried about that young man; he may have discovered some secrets.”

As they spoke, the village chief took out a memory crystal containing a three-dimensional image of Lin Hanchuan and handed it to the middle-aged man.

"Give this to the priest and tell him to keep an eye on it."

"Yes, Lord Charles?" The middle-aged man carefully accepted the document and nodded respectfully.

"Hmm?!" The village chief turned his head slightly, his gaze becoming somewhat narrowed.

The middle-aged man trembled and quickly changed his words.

"Yes, village chief!"
