Online game: Thunder Tyrant, I have infinite critical hits!

Fuxi City, the study of the city lord's mansion.

"Young friend Jiang, you've been visiting my residence quite frequently lately." Lin Wudi stood in front of the desk, splashing ink and writing characters. The characters were vigorous and powerful, with a hint of sword light emanating from them upon closer inspection.

A sword's edge?

Is he practicing swordsmanship?

Jiang Yan looked surprised. He had always thought that Lin Wudi was just being pretentious, but now it seemed that he had been narrow-minded.

He took a deep breath and said with a solemn expression, "Lord Lin, I have something important to ask you."

"Ask away, but I might not be able to answer," Lin Wudi said without looking up.

"Don't worry, City Lord, I won't make things difficult for you," Jiang Yan said. "I wanted to ask about the ghost ship."

"A ghost ship..." Lin Wudi chuckled lightly, "Can't go to sea anymore?"

Jiang Yan nodded with a wry smile: "That's right. The moment I entered the sea, the ghost ship arrived in an instant. I urge the city lord to teach me how to remove the ghost ship's mark on me!"

"The ghost ship's mark targets souls; there are only two ways to remove it," Lin Wudi laughed. "First, death!"

"Death?" Jiang Yan raised an eyebrow.

"That's right, death!" Lin Wudi looked at him with amusement. "Once you die completely and your soul dissipates, the ghost ship's mark will naturally disappear."

"..." Jiang Yan was speechless. He wanted to remove the mark so that he could live well and die completely?

Why bother eliminating it then? I'll just head straight out to sea and confront the ghost ship head-on.

Suppressing his frustration, Jiang Yan asked, "What's the second method?"

"The second method..." Lin Wudi smiled, "I have a task for you."

You have one here... Damn it, you bastard, you're kicking me when I'm down! I even shared the power of the true dragon with you!

Jiang Yan gritted his teeth and asked, "What mission?"

"It's related to evil forces!" Lin Wudi said in a deep voice.

"The abyss, the undead, or hell?" Jiang Yan's expression immediately turned serious.

Lin Wudi shook his head: "The Abyss, the Undead, and Hell are the three major evil forces, but evil forces are not limited to these three!"

Jiang Yan's expression changed slightly. He had always thought that the evil forces were only the Abyss, the Undead, and Hell, but he didn't expect there to be others!

Lin Wudi continued, "Besides the three major evil forces, there are also many smaller evil forces. These forces are subservient to the three major evil forces, committing all sorts of evil deeds, and often..."

"What do you mean, 'often'?" Jiang Yan asked.

Lin Wudi stopped talking and returned to the main topic: "My mission is simple: find the whereabouts of a BOSS!"

"What BOSS?" Jiang Yan asked.

Lin Wudi said, "This BOSS is the leader of a small evil force. It was sealed under the Flaming Mountain for many years, but recently it was discovered that the seal was deliberately broken, and this BOSS has escaped! Your mission is to find its whereabouts!"

Flaming Mountain?

What a coincidence!

Jiang Yan was somewhat surprised.

You should know that his blessed land was found in a hidden cave deep within the Flaming Mountain mine.

There's also that "Void Land," which is located below the Flaming Mountain.

and many more……

Beneath the Flaming Mountain, a seal?

Could it be… Jiang Yan's mind raced, and he said with feigned bitterness, “City Lord Lin, now that this BOSS has escaped, it certainly won't stay in the same place. This world is so big, where am I supposed to find its whereabouts?”

"That depends on your skills." Lin Wudi smiled. "So, are you going to accept this mission or not?"

Jiang Yan feigned reluctance, then gritted his teeth and bargained: "I'll accept, but besides the method to remove the ghost ship marker, I have another request!"

"What are your requirements? Tell me." Lin Wudi wasn't annoyed and asked with a smile.

Ok……

Spirit-level equipment?

Jiang Yan glanced at his equipment inventory. Of the thirteen equipment slots, there were nine Spirit-grade items and four Dark Gold items. Adding another Spirit-grade item wouldn't make much difference.

Skill book?

Jiang Yan opened his skill bar. Now he had forbidden spells, offensive skills, control skills, movement skills, and shield skills. It seemed pointless to ask for more skills.

correct!

Spiritual matter!

This is something even the city lord of the main city covets. If you bet on it in advance and collect it, you definitely won't lose out!

"I want spiritual matter!" Jiang Yan demanded an exorbitant amount!

"Spiritual matter?" Lin Wudi laughed angrily. "Do you think spiritual matter is like cabbage in a field? Don't say I don't have it; even if I did, I wouldn't give it to you!"

Spiritual matter is indeed a good thing… Jiang Yan was already prepared and immediately said, “Then give me three keys that can open the spirit-level treasure chest!”

Jiang Yan can bring the spirit-level treasure chest in his backpack to the real world to open, but what if he encounters another spirit-level treasure chest in the wild?

It would be awkward if you didn't have the key and couldn't bring it to reality.

"What, you found a spirit-level treasure chest?" Lin Wudi's eyes gleamed.

Jiang Yan immediately adopted the strategy of "using the barbarians' superior techniques to subdue them," and scoffed, "City Lord Lin, do you think spirit-level treasure chests are like cabbages in the field?"

Lin Wudi frowned: "Then you..."

"I'm preparing in advance!" Jiang Yan said, "City Lord Lin, you're asking me to investigate not just a BOSS, but the leader of an evil force. I won't go into how dangerous it is, but you can't expect me to risk my life just for a piece of information, can you?"

Lin Wudi thought about it and agreed, then pondered, "Three spirit-level keys are too many; I can only offer one."

"Two!" Jiang Yan said decisively.

"No, I only have one!" Lin Wudi said helplessly, "I really only have one, I don't have any more."

It doesn't seem like he's lying... Jiang Yan sighed, "Alright, just one!"

The next instant, a system notification sounded in Jiang Yan's ear:

[Ding~ City Lord Lin Wudi of Fuxi City has issued you a mission: Find the whereabouts of the Emperor Golden Serpent! Mission Rewards: Information on removing the Ghost Ship marker, [Spirit-level Key] *1! Mission Failure Penalty: None!]

[Accept/Decide?]

Emperor Golden Serpent?

A glint flashed in Jiang Yan's eyes. He had previously encountered Qinghui and Di Qinghui (Gold BOSS) deep in the glacier at the foot of Flaming Mountain. This Di Jinhui was undoubtedly a Dark Gold BOSS!

and many more!

So, the person who broke the seal isn't referring to me, is it?

Jiang Yan suddenly felt a little guilty.

Lin Wudi, unaware of Jiang Yan's unusual behavior, solemnly instructed, "Young friend Jiang, this mission is very dangerous. Just finding the location of the seal is not something an ordinary person can do. You must be extremely careful."

"I understand." Jiang Yan came back to his senses, accepted the mission and was about to leave, but suddenly stopped and looked at Lin Wudi with a hesitant expression.

"Any more questions?" Lin Wudi asked.

"This..." Jiang Yan did indeed have another question.

According to General Bull Demon, all the NPCs in the main city, including Lin Wudi, were originally players. Later, their world was swallowed up by the game, and that's how they became NPCs.

So here's the question: judging from the NPCs Jiang Yan has encountered, only a very few, like Lin Wudi, know the 'ins and outs,' while most other NPCs are completely clueless. Why is that?

But Jiang Yan knew that this question was beyond the scope of the curriculum, and Lin Wudi, bound by the game, would certainly be unable to reveal the truth.

So Jiang Yan didn't ask any more questions, and simply said, "City Lord Lin, take care!"
