The villain really doesn't want to steal the heroine.

Although there are special tasks outside of the three major categories, they basically all earn money in a legitimate way.

The Adventurer's Guild will not take on underworld missions such as assassination, human trafficking, and evil research. Other underground guilds will take over.

With Linlin's assistance, Wanxing quickly selected some tasks that suited his needs.

Some of them are gray because his adventurer level is not high enough. It requires adventurers of level B or above to take them, and the rewards are very generous.

However, the remaining tasks are enough for Wanxing to upgrade. He is just transitioning and does not really plan to be an adventurer for a long time.

Wan Xing extended a finger and slowly tapped one of the quests. The specific requirements gradually emerged—[Subjugation Quest: A Super-Class Corpse King has appeared in the Banshan Cemetery, 100 kilometers north of Russell City! The ancestral worship festival is approaching. Adventurers, please eliminate this Super-Class Corpse King as soon as possible to create a safe environment for the nobles of Russell City to worship their ancestors.]

Chapter 41: Looking forward to your return

After the mission requirements faded, another line of words slowly appeared on the magic slate: [Mission Reward: 1 gold coins + 1 points!]

Very standard rewards - as far as Wanxing knows, the rewards for super-level subjugation missions are generally around 1 gold coins and points, with high-level ones getting around 1, mid-level ones only around 1, and low-level ones only around .

There is no need to elaborate on the role of gold coins. Although Wanxing is not short of money, he will not complain about having too many gold coins. He even couldn't help but dig two pieces of pure gold floor when he left the dragon's nest.

What Wanxing really cares about is the point reward. In the Adventurer's Guild, points are much more important than gold coins.

First of all, points can be exchanged for magic, fighting skills, secret arts and other cultivation knowledge in the Adventurer's Guild. For adventurers who have no background and no inheritance, exchanging points for cultivation knowledge is the only way out.

Secondly, points can be exchanged for weapons, armor, scrolls and other equipment items in the Adventurer's Guild, which is also good news for adventurers.

Finally, points can also be exchanged for services of the Adventurer's Guild, such as treatment, rescue, intelligence and other services... Even the actual combat assessment to improve the adventurer's level requires the consumption of points, so that adventurers don't waste everyone's time by challenging themselves when they have nothing to do.

The above uses may not seem to be very attractive to Wanxing, the son of the Duke, but in fact the points are still very useful - although the Adventurer's Guild in Russell City is not as wealthy as the Duke's Mansion, this is just a branch.

In fact, the Adventurer's Guild has established branches in all cities, big and small, in all empires, kingdoms, and principalities. Simply put, they are spread all over the continent, so whether it is cultivation knowledge or equipment props, they are far more than the Duke's Palace.

Therefore, the points rewarded from the mission are still useful to Wanxing.

The final information that surfaced on the magic slate was the specific information about the quest's target: [This Super-Class Corpse King is suspected to be B-rank adventurer ■■■■ (name blacked out to protect the adventurer's family), who died in battle ten years ago. His former class was Berserker, and his specialties included Frenzy Assault, Fearless Domination, Whirlwind Demon Slash, and Rage Burst... The reason for his transformation into a Corpse King is unknown, as are the changes to his abilities after the transformation. Adventurers accepting this quest should remain vigilant.]

After reading the mission details, Wanxing released his fingers from the magic slate and said, "This subjugation mission has no adventurer level requirements, so let's take it."

"Subjugating the Super-class Corpse King?"

Receptionist Linlin looked at the mission Wanxing had chosen and, somewhat hesitantly and with embarrassment, offered advice: "I know your combat prowess has reached the pinnacle of the high level, but this mission is far too dangerous for a C-rank adventurer. Please reconsider."

She carefully considered her words, wanting to protect the Duke's son's self-esteem while not letting him think she looked down on him.

He also had to persuade the other party to give up the mission, so as not to die at the hands of the Super Corpse King and incur the wrath of Duke Russell.

So she first flattered him with nice words, and then emphasized the danger of the mission, hoping that the Duke's son would listen to her advice.

But Wanxing came to the Adventurer's Guild specifically for the Super-Class Subjugation quest, so he naturally wouldn't change his plans because of the receptionist's advice. He shook his head and smiled, "Don't think about it. I'll take this quest."

"But, but..."

Linlin could actually understand that the Duke's son had reached the pinnacle of both magic and martial arts at such a young age, so he must have wanted to stand out and become famous.

Originally, the Duke's son liked to be a hero, and it had nothing to do with her, but now the other party had taken over this crusade mission from her. If he was killed in battle, then she, a small receptionist, would definitely have to bear the responsibility.

The key point is that she can't continue to persuade, because she knows that the more she persuades, the more determined the Duke's son will be, to show his bravery and fearlessness!

Linlin feels that her life is really difficult!

"No buts, no buts!" Wan Xing smiled confidently and said fearlessly, "Although my magic and warrior realms are only at the high-level peak, I'm not the only one going to defeat this super-level corpse king. You don't think I don't have other helpers, do you?"

The helper he was referring to was naturally Xing Yila, but the receptionist Linlin misunderstood.

"I see!"

Linlin suddenly realized that it was possible for the son of a duke to be accompanied by several super-class guards!

As for why those super-class guards didn't follow the Adventurer's Guild to take on missions,

The reason is obvious - the Duke's son wants to be in the spotlight!

[Shocking! The Duke's son, Wanxing Russell, who is only 18 years old, unexpectedly used his advanced strength to kill a Super-level Corpse King without any harm to himself!]

[Good news! The Duke's Mansion's super-class guards have already eliminated the corpse king in the Mid-Mountain Cemetery. The Duke's son is on the scene to oversee the operation.]

Of these two pieces of news, it is obvious that the former is more likely to help the Duke's son achieve his wish and become famous in one fell swoop!

Linlin thought she fully understood the Duke's son's plan, so she skillfully operated the magic slate to help Wanxing take on the task of defeating the Corpse King.

Finally, she stood up and saw Wanxing and Luo'er out of the Adventurer's Guild gate.

"Master Wanxing, on behalf of all members of the Adventurer's Guild, Russell City Branch, I wish you great fortune in your military endeavors and look forward to your triumphant return!" Although Linlin already knew Wanxing had prepared super-class guards to assist her, she blushed slightly as she spoke with concern, "Please...please be sure to stay safe."

After all, whether she lives or dies depends on whether Wanxing can come back alive. The wrath of Duke Russell is not something a mere receptionist like her can bear.

If her strength did not allow it, she would even want to accompany Wanxing to carry out the crusade mission to ensure the safety of the Duke's son.

"Okay, I'll be back soon!" Wan Xing waved his hand and took Luo Ai'er into the luxurious carriage.

Linlin watched the carriage leave, as if her life was also leaving with it.

She was there worrying about her future, but her distraught and reluctant look made the single male adventurers in the Adventurer's Guild feel heartbroken.

Some even fell to their knees with their eyes blank, looking up to the sky and sighing: "No——!!!"

That exaggerated performance resonated with the other adventurers, and the guild inside and outside was suddenly filled with the atmosphere of "snowflakes fluttering and north wind howling."

It would be a lie for these single male adventurers to say they have no feelings about the beautiful receptionist at the Adventurer's Guild, Russell City Branch.

But it was too late to say anything now. The beautiful receptionist had already been noticed by the Duke's son. They could do nothing but grit their teeth in envy and jealousy!

I have lost my love forever, everything is in ruins, it hurts, it hurts so much!!!

Chapter 42: Nutrients for Growth

Wanxing was unaware of the farce that took place in the Adventurer's Guild.

He was sitting in the car, looking at Luo Ai'er's information interface in admiration - her wind magician level had reached LV39!

Luo Ai'er is not like Xingyi, and cannot use experience points to level up, so this is a very terrifying training speed.

Even though she now has the full support of Wanxing in terms of cultivation resources,

Even with normal training, she couldn't possibly keep up with the upgrade speed that Wanxing achieved through system cheats.

But the current situation is not normal. Loelle has a special talent [Universal Maid]!

This talent is both strong and weak. Whether it is useful or not depends entirely on whether the owner gives enough support.

If Wanxing chooses to lie down, then this talent is equivalent to having nothing.

But if Wanxing chooses to cheat and her level increases like a rocket, then the followers and admirers effects of the [Universal Maid] talent will be maximized.

Simply put, Luo Ai'er can be hung on Wanxing like a pendant and use his plug-in!

As he soars into the sky, he travels through the clouds!

……

With the detailed information provided by the Adventurer's Guild, Wanxing quickly arrived at the foot of the mountain where the Banshan Cemetery was located by carriage.

The cemetery is located on a mountain range called Arashiyama. Its summit is capped year-round with a blanket of snow, earning Russell City residents the nickname "Arashiyama Snow." Each of Arashiyama's thirteen peaks rises above 4400 meters, with the highest, Cangqiong Peak, reaching 5222 meters. Due to its high altitude, the summit is exceptionally cold, resulting in a perpetual blanket of snow that shimmers pristinely in the sunlight, creating a spectacular spectacle.

Because the mountaintop was too cold to be suitable for ancestor worship, the cemetery was built in a forest on the lower mountainside, hence the name "Mid-mountain Cemetery." The temperature here was normal, with only a slight chill in the wind, but nowhere near enough for an average person to withstand it.

After Wanxing got off the car with Luo Ai'er and Xing Yi, he ordered the butler to drive back to Russell City to prevent the upcoming battle from affecting the carriage and causing unnecessary losses.

The cost of the luxurious carriages goes without saying. The two flawless white unicorns alone were expensive imports from the Elven Empire. If they were killed, it would be a huge loss. Purebred unicorns are highly effective, but the unicorns exported by the Elven Empire are bred using special methods, significantly weakening their combat effectiveness and sterilizing their fertility, retaining only their magnificent appearance. This approach allows for massive profits without bolstering the military might of other nations.

And after Wanxing finishes the subjugation mission, he can go directly to the dormitory through Xingyi's space movement.

Therefore, it is more efficient to let the butler drive back in advance - although Lanshan is the closest mountain range to Russell City, just 100 kilometers north of the city, it still takes about two hours to take a carriage one way.

There was no way when I first arrived. Xingyi's space movement can only move to places he has been to before, so there is no need to waste time going back.

"From now on, our adventure begins!"

As he spoke, Wanxing took the lead and walked towards the Banshan Cemetery.

"As you command, my master~"

Loelle followed closely on his left.

"咿咿~"

Xingyi was flying on his right shoulder.

“Swish… swish…”

The sound of dead branches and leaves being trampled could be heard regularly.

Wanxing walked slowly in a dead forest outside the Banshan Cemetery, and walked towards an even more dead place.

In this magical world, normal creatures hate the breath of death, so they tend to avoid places that emit dark and dead air, unless they are dark monsters.

The cemetery halfway up the mountain is also emitting an aura of death. Although it is not so strong that it makes all the monsters in the forest flee, the closer you get to the cemetery, the fewer monsters you see.

At least, from the time I got off the carriage at Wanxing until now, I haven't encountered any magical beasts along the way.

It was not until he stepped into the gate of the Half Mountain Cemetery that he saw a swaying figure deep in the cemetery.

Although the other person was wearing the black clothes that humans wear when they are buried, he had long red hair and a hideous face, as if he was enduring pain that ordinary people could hardly imagine.

When Wanxing met, he immediately gave the power of analysis and identification, confirming that the other party was the target corpse king of the subjugation mission.

The identified information is roughly the same as that provided by the Adventurer's Guild, but is more powerful and detailed.

Perhaps it was because he smelled the breath of life. Even though the two sides were nearly one kilometer apart, the Corpse King still discovered Wanxing's arrival.

The Corpse King roared towards the sky with a ferocious look in his eyes. A layer of blood-red luster appeared on his body, and his entire body expanded twice as much.

Based on the information analyzed and identified, Wanxing inferred that this was a mutated version of [Blood Frenzy], which could greatly increase strength, speed, and explosive power, but the damage received would also increase.

Then the Corpse King kicked his legs and crossed a distance of nearly 100 meters. Using all four limbs, he rushed violently towards the gate of the Half Mountain Cemetery. The ground under his feet made a banging sound, as if there was a slight earthquake.

Wanxing guessed that this should be the effect of [Frenzy Assault]. The Berserker fighting skills of this corpse king during his lifetime have become instinct, and he uses them very smoothly.

However, what greeted the Corpse King was not a feast of flesh and blood, but the multiple dragon breaths that Xing Yi had prepared for a long time.

Four dragon head phantoms condensed by magic power aimed at the corpse king rushing towards them at the same time, spitting out poisonous breath, paralyzing breath, scorching breath and frost breath respectively!

As the corpse king's skin was torn and flesh was exposed by multiple dragon breaths and he was retreating step by step, a gray and thin figure suddenly appeared in the depths of the cemetery.

He gently waved the staff in his hand, and black rays of light continuously enveloped the corpse king, trying to provide treatment and protection for the corpse king.

"Dark Wizard?" Wan Xing blurted out.

Wanxing is no stranger to dark wizards, they are equivalent to traitors within the human race.

The Demon King uses chaos magic to randomly cast some dark magic inheritances across the continent.

If the lucky ones who picked up these inheritances could not help but practice them, they would fall into the trap of the devil - these dark magic inheritances all had backdoors, and after practicing, they would be continuously affected by the devil, and eventually their minds would be completely controlled, becoming the devil's puppets, causing chaos all over the continent and preparing in advance for the invasion of the demons.

On the hero's way to defeat the devil, dark wizards will constantly jump out to assassinate him. Of course, the result of this fueling tactic is that all of it becomes nutrients for the hero's growth.

In fact, after Wanxing Russell in the game was transformed into a demon by the Demon King, he also practiced this kind of inheritance with a backdoor.

So Wanxing is very familiar with this profession.

Chapter 43: The Danger of Mountain Giants

It was precisely because Wan Xing was very familiar with the profession of dark wizard that he immediately felt at ease.

There are many different branches of dark magic, and the one in front of him obviously majored in necromancy, which was the only way to control the undead of the same level.

In order to verify his guess, Wan Xing threw an analysis and identification power at the gray and thin figure.

It turned out that he was majoring in necromancy, and he had already run out of tricks - the advantage of necromancy lies in the early preparations, which can create an army of undead when the enemy is unprepared, and even accomplish the feat of massacring a city by a single person.
