Poverty makes me capable of anything.

Su Tingxue sighed: "Bessadin's strength is beyond my expectations. Even the three of us working together couldn't defeat him."

drop!

Trigger the hidden quest: Rescue the escaped Flying Pirates.

1. Basic reward: 3000 million free experience points.

2. For each member of the Flying Pirate Gang's leader who is sacrificed, the experience reward is -500 million. Rescuing all three members will reward the player with a new type of alloy blueprint.

This is a fairly standard task.

The rewards weren't particularly generous, but they were decent enough to warrant a B-level mission rating.

"I don't know the exact location right now. I only know that there are many monsters with horns on their heads around here, and I can also see a blood-red full moon."

"The terrain, no, to be precise, is the topography of your planet."

Yes, this is crucial.

Of the two planets Anran has been on, Yuanhai Star is more beautiful than Earth, while the planet she is currently on is mainly composed of sand and gravel, and the place where Bessad and the others are seen in the live stream is mainly composed of ice and snow.

The terrain helps her quickly narrow down the area she needs to explore.

"In terms of terrain, it should be described as a wasteland, with yellow earth everywhere and the air always being hazy."

"I understand." An Ran nodded. "Can you still hold on?"

Su Tingxue was silent for a moment, then said decisively, "Yes!"

"That's good."

An Ran has a lot going on right now.

She had to locate both Bessadin and the Flying Pirates; she couldn't be in two places at once.

At this time...

An Ran's gaze fell on the 21 players standing at the edge of the pit.

If the goal is simply to gather information, sending a player would likely be far more effective than having her do it.

When she's out and about, Anran hasn't worn a yellow hat for quite some time now.

Upon seeing the yellow exclamation mark suddenly appear above An Ran's head, the bolder players immediately swallowed hard.

Delicious...I want to eat it...

Although I had a premonition when I saw An Ran pick up the communicator and start a conversation.

After all, it's a "hidden storyline in the game."

But I didn't expect the food to be served so quickly.

Alien Rescue

Mission Level: A

mission rewards:

1. Locate the Flying Pirates' location; reward: 800 million free experience points.

2. Successfully rescue members of the Flying Pirate Crew; base reward 3000 million Biru. For each Flying Pirate Crew leader sacrificed, a deduction of 500 million Biru is applied.

3. Complete (2), increase the favorability of all members of the Flying Pirates by 40.

4. Upon completion of (2), Flying Pirates faction reputation +800 (Honored).

800 million experience points is the current maximum reward for a normal quest that Anran actively issues at level 80, but the reward for finding the location is quite generous.

As for the subsequent reward of 3000 million Biru, it made the players' eyes light up immediately.

That's enough to buy a small spaceship.

We have to get on this bus!

If anyone doesn't want to get up here, they can just weld the door shut, and nobody can get down!

Since everyone has been assigned a task, there is no competition, so naturally the more people the better.

Moreover, they all know each other and are quite confident in each other's gaming skills.

"Leave it to us, we'll definitely find the Flying Pirates!"

Near the portal, Anran, having obtained the portal's location map, separated from the other players.

The last two rewards for this task were added automatically by the system, which gave Anran a better understanding of the task system.

reasonable.

Very reasonable.

If these players actually saved the Flying Pirates, it would be strange if they didn't gain favor and reputation; it would be much clearer and more transparent to write it in the quest rewards.

As for the money, let the Flying Pirates pay for it.

We've already saved you all, are you still reluctant to part with such a small amount of money?

Deserts and icy lands are neither compatible with the planet we live on now.

Braving the raging sandstorm, Anran and Ella passed through the portal.

The next planet will still be a world of sandstorms.

An Ran, who had just arrived on this planet, immediately put a yellow exclamation mark above her head.

It's not about the map of the portals; the ones the other players provided were already quite detailed. The rest is up to the players to explore.

She was looking for the location of the second monument.

Only the members of the Hundred Wood Pirates knew about this. An Ran was very calm and would not make any rash moves or alert the enemy before figuring out what cards the opponent had up their sleeve.

There were only two of them, Ella and the other side had far too many.

This isn't about one person taking on a thousand, it's about taking on tens of thousands.

Even in Dynasty Warriors games, it can be quite difficult to play if the difficulty level is too high.

Start on the highest difficulty; weapons don't have special effects or life steal, and you'll be worn down to death by enemies if you're not careful.

[There are two NPCs who are wrapped up very tightly during the sandstorm. They are looking for a metal monument. Whoever encounters them can receive a quest with a reward of 500 million experience points.]

Soon after, such news began to circulate on the forum.

Players who were happy to share also marked the locations where they accepted the quests.

Therefore, during the heated discussion, someone quickly summarized a tracking map.

There are 6 points in total. If I connect these 6 points, it clearly forms an "S" shape!

So what is S?

[Then came up with a B, huh? You're just wasting your time talking nonsense. Instead of wasting your time, why don't you go find her somewhere?]

[The road ahead is long, and the forum is my only companion. That's what I'm looking for, otherwise why would I be here chatting with you guys?]

【…】

Silly players bring a lot of joy.

"Looks like an important NPC in the story. Wouldn't it be a waste to just accept a quest and leave like this?" Sanshengshi said to his friend who was driving.

"What's there to lose or not? We're actually quite lucky. If they hadn't saved us, we wouldn't have this mission. Besides, we're currently weak and have no favorability rating, so it's probably impossible for us to get higher-level missions. Let's focus on completing this mission first. If we do this mission well, maybe everyone can level up."

This 21-member player squad can indeed be considered an elite squad.

The average level is 58, and the highest level player, Chang'an 123, is already level 62, ranking fourth on the Star Alliance [Glory Region] player level leaderboard.

It also made it into the top 1,000 on the overall server leaderboard.

He is a representative figure of the Elementalist profession.

However, despite its impressive appearance, it still couldn't handle a group of level 65 or higher two-winged monsters.

Level advantage is nothing compared to the fact that it's common for players to team up and kill monsters of a higher level. However, winged monsters can fly and are extremely fast, making them difficult to defeat.

wow-

It felt as if I had passed through a film of water.

The three vehicles have already passed the sixth portal.

Their goal was very clear: the wasteland, yellow earth, and gray sky mentioned in the mission description meant it could only be the fifth planet.

The sixth planet is a glacial world, and the seventh planet is permafrost.

Narrow down the scope of exploration.

“Next up is the Blood Moon and the monster with horns on its head,” said Sanshengshi.

"An A-level mission, to be honest, it's really not easy for just the few of us. But this should refer to the option of rescuing the Flying Pirates. Simply exploring their location is definitely not enough to reach that level." Chang'an Yi Er San was a handsome guy wearing a purple-gold elemental robe.

With his strong abilities and handsome looks, it would be hard for him not to become famous.

Because of the restrictions on appearance changes in Night of the Stars, the trend of judging appearance has even spread into the game.

"There's no blood moon to be seen here, and I haven't heard of anyone encountering any monsters with horns. There are plenty of winged monsters and lurkers, but they don't have horns either," other players' voices echoed in the team's public chat.

"Let me see the observation equipment."

Sanshengshi accepted the binoculars handed to him by someone else.

The vastness of deep space.

It wouldn't be difficult to spot the satellites orbiting this planet in the pitch black of night.

However, Sanshengshi quickly put down the telescope and sighed.

"I really can't imagine what kind of moon would be blood-red."

Chang'an Yi Er San gestured for him not to be anxious: "Let me put it this way. The mission hinted at a blood moon, but have you considered this possibility? That is, everyone is seeing the same satellite, but the light we see is golden, while the Flying Pirates see it as blood-red. It's not because there's anything unusual about the satellite, but because there's something unusual about the place the satellite is illuminating, like a hazy sky?"

"..."

Yes!

The others suddenly realized.

The change in light was caused by some substance in the air.
