Reincarnation Paradise: Passion Leads to Greatest Success

Chapter 121 Main Quest 2

Nighttime in the city of Lantier.

Fang Yu and Mia browsed around for a while and bought a fairly complete map of the kingdom in a magic item shop.

I also took a look at the Adventurers' Guild leader, who seemed confused, perhaps due to the side effects of the control being lifted.

Meanwhile, other adventurers also reported that the notice board in the guild hall, covered with commission slips, had suddenly burned to ashes for some unknown reason.

These two situations completely confirm that what we encountered before were all the methods of those five contractors.

Inside a hotel, Fang spread out a 1-meter-long and 1-meter-wide map on the table. After looking at it for a while, he discovered that the map did not indicate distances, but only provided general directions.

Fang Yu guessed that the distance between the two places must be at least several hundred kilometers, and at the speed of the adjudicator, they would arrive very soon.

Based on what happened during the day, Fang Yu decided that it would be better to set off for the capital as soon as possible. He guessed that some contractors might land directly in the capital. Although he was not afraid of ambushes, he did not want to play a game of cat and mouse with these people. It would be best to nip this possibility in the bud.

At the same time, once he returns to the amusement park, he will also brush up on his knowledge of contracts. He is not afraid of others being powerful, but he is afraid of being defeated by such overbearing contracts.

After putting away the map, Fang Yu and Mia left the hotel and came to a deserted alley, where they boarded the 3x3 Arbiter.

The flying carpet took advantage of the darkness of night to leave Lantier and fly towards the royal capital in the northwest.

During the flight to the capital, Fang Yu chose to pass the time with meditation, while Zhi Ganmia put on headphones and took out her tablet to play a popular single-player game: Elden Ring.

In her eyes, there was no such thing as dodging in this game; whether it was a minion or a boss, she could just endlessly parry and crush them. After playing for only an hour, she got bored and started looking for other novel games.

Time passed —

Although they chose to travel overnight, they weren't in a hurry to catch up, so the Arbiter kept its flight speed at a moderate pace, and in just over two hours they could see the vast capital city.

The most striking feature is the enormous royal city built on a hill, with its walls topped by defensive spires, making it look quite magnificent.

Below the royal city was a large complex of buildings. As it was late at night, the people in the city were resting, and only a few scattered lights still flickered in a few buildings.

On the walls that encircle the entire city, you can still see patrolling guards, constantly patrolling around. But it seems that the days were too comfortable in the past, and the guards were either slacking off or dozing off.

This gave Fang Yu the opportunity to enter. The reason he did not choose to enter through the city gate was that even if he revealed his identity in the dead of night, he would still be subject to questioning and trouble.

[The Hunter has completed the main quest (1): Head to the Kingdom, the Capital. This quest has no reward; subsequent quests will be unlocked.]

Main Quest (2): Annihilate the Eight Fingers.

Difficulty level: LV8

Mission Brief: Eight Fingers is the kingdom's largest underground organization, involved in eight departments including drugs, slavery, thugs, assassination, theft, finance, gambling, and smuggling.

Mission Information: Eight Fingers has intricate connections with many nobles in the kingdom, and a single move can have far-reaching consequences.

Task duration: 20 calendar days.

Task Rewards: 5 attribute points, 9000 Paradise Coins.

Task penalty: -3 attribute points across all attributes.

As soon as you enter the capital, a notification for the amusement park appears.

Upon seeing the main quest (2), Fang Yu fell into thought.

As we know from the original text, the Eight Fingers are divided into eight departments, each with a so-called minister and a councilor who oversees the whole situation.

Eight Fingers is also the root cause of the kingdom's corruption and chaos. With the protection of the Six Arms bodyguard department and the influence of various nobles, it has always been rooted in the kingdom, sucking the blood of all commoners and providing a perverted place for the nobles to vent their anger.

The Kingdom Turmoil chapter in the original work was triggered by Eight Fingers, which led to the first clash between the two forces.

Led by Ainz Ooal Gown, the Great Tomb of Nazarick staged a major event—the demon invasion—by taking the blame for the Eight-Finger Plot and orchestrating the whole affair, thus making Momo famous.

On the other side is the force led by the Golden Princess, which launched a campaign to destroy all departments of the Eight Fingers. With Sebastian's intervention, they also successfully killed all the members of the Six Arms.

Finally, both sides clashed in their efforts to eliminate the Eight Fingers. As expected, Ainz Ooal Gown became the biggest beneficiary, and the kingdom also eliminated the greatest dark force as a result.

Fang Yu frowned, various pieces of information flashing through his mind. Momo hadn't even become an adventurer yet, and the main quest he received was to eliminate the Eight Fingers, with a deadline of only 20 days.

This would inevitably lead to significant changes in the plot, which he had anticipated, but it wouldn't affect his ability to complete the mission.

Moreover, this time limit actually has an advantage, which is that his (devour) talent cooldown time is exactly within this time.

Talent 1: Devour Talent Effect 1 (Passive): Ignores energy erosion, passively absorbs any attribute energy, permanently increases all affinity attribute points of the user, and can increase by 1 attribute point per day in the current world (Note: The maximum attribute point acquisition in this world is 17 attribute points).

Talent Effect 2 (Passive): When attribute points are in a state where they cannot be increased, they will be converted into increases to all potential ranks of the user. Currently, the world can increase: None. Talent Effect (Active): Every natural month, the innate talent can be activated, absorbing all matter and energy encountered. The total amount absorbed determines how many affinity attribute points are permanently increased. The effect lasts for 5 minutes. (Current cooldown: 19 days)

In this world, he has plenty of time to fully utilize the attribute points granted by his talent. He doesn't need to deliberately activate the active effects of his talent just to accumulate attribute points; instead, he can use it as a trump card for survival.

Judging from the previous world, the active effect of the talent was extremely powerful. Even Ryoumen Sukuna could not withstand it at all. He didn't even have time to escape before he was instantly annihilated into basic particles.

If possible, Fang Yu also plans to use the active effect of his talent to devour the so-called strongest beings in this world, thereby increasing the progress of the achievement quest: Devourer.

In short, as far as we know, Ainz Ooal Gown is definitely not the strongest in the world. There are even more powerful guardians inside the Great Tomb of Nazarick. His strength has absolutely nothing to do with his rule over the Great Tomb of Nazarick.

With plenty of time available, Fang Yu decided to interact with the story characters such as "Blue Rose" and the Golden Princess tomorrow. It would be best if he could trigger side quests or hidden quests, but it wouldn't matter if he couldn't.
