Chapter 126 Changing the Mission

Feng Bujue picked up the parchment and held it in front of him, slowly unfurling it.

"Hmm... so that's how it is..." He only glanced at it before raising the parchment slightly, consciously displaying it to his teammates.

At that moment, a system prompt rang in Xiao Tan and the others' ears: 【Hidden Mission Triggered】

The content of the mission was displayed on the parchment: 【Change the Current Main Quest】

"You make the decision." After reading it, Ruoyu blurted out to Brother Jue.

The others also looked at Feng Bujue, waiting for his response.

"Hmm..." Feng Bujue's mind raced. He spent about ten seconds speculating on the various consequences that this choice might entail before saying, "No problem, I accept."

As soon as he finished speaking, a system prompt sounded: 【Hidden Mission Completed】

"Heh... this is undoubtedly the easiest hidden mission I've ever completed." Feng Bujue sneered in response.

【Current mission has been changed, main quest has been updated】Immediately afterward, a new system prompt arrived.

The players opened the game menu and found that the 【Find "My" Bones】 quest had disappeared, replaced by a new main quest: 【Unravel the Mystery of the Juniper Tree Curse Without Killing "Me"】

"Now that things have come to this, can you guide us on what to do next?" Feng Bujue then said loudly.

Brother Jue was planning to squeeze every last bit of value out of Dian He Wang based on the principle of "don't use it for nothing."

"Move that metal box away. There is a tunnel underneath that leads to the location of 'my' bones," Dian He Wang replied. "I will help you remove the traps and monsters in the tunnel... As for what to do after you find 'me', I will tell you in person at that time."

With that, it stopped speaking, as if hanging up the phone.

Perhaps it had stopped paying attention to the players, or perhaps... it was just pretending to have "stopped paying attention to the players" to prevent Brother Jue from making more unreasonable requests.

"Hello? Hello, hello? Are you still there? Can you hear me?" Feng Bujue immediately raised his head and shouted twice more, but only his own echo responded.

"Alright... stop shouting. If I were it... I would pretend to be gone even if I was still here," Ruoyu said, patting Brother Jue on the shoulder.

"Guild Leader, let's quit while we're ahead," Xiao Ling added. "After all, we've already gotten a lot of benefits."

Xiao Tan also nodded in agreement. "Yeah, we got a bunch of items for nothing, and we've been spared all the potential dangers along the way."

"Right, speaking of items, I was only focused on the skull just now and only took a cursory glance at the other things," Feng Bujue said, turning his head. "What did you guys take?"

"I took those two consumables," Ou Bu replied first. "They're both things that replenish Survival Value, but they're not supplements."

Buu continued, "I took those two skill cards. Look, they're right here." As he spoke, he displayed the two cards in front of everyone.

The first card was...

【Name: Die Ling Shen Ying (Butterfly Spirit Divine Shadow)】

【Skill Card Attribute: Active Skill, Permanently Mastered】

【Skill Category: Combat, Spiritual Arts】

【Effect: With extremely high agility, combined with a forward-charging stance, inflict multiple hits on the enemy in an instant (Cooldown: 10 minutes)】

【Consumption: Stamina Value 800, Spirit Value 80】

【Learning Requirements: Combat Specialization A, Spiritual Arts Specialization C】

【Remarks: An advanced combat technique recorded in the Dragon Slaying Chapter of the Seven Chapters of Guigu. It can only be practiced by someone who possesses speed, agility, and power. A swordsman can unleash its maximum power.】

The second card was...

【Name: Meikatuoke Zhili (Mechatork Power)】

【Skill Card Attribute: Active Skill, Permanently Mastered】

【Skill Category: Machinery, Summoning】

【Effect: Perform an amazing invention (Cooldown: 1 hour)】

【Consumption: Stamina Value 13, a pile of metal objects with a volume greater than one cubic meter】

【Learning Requirements: Machinery Specialization B, Summoning Specialization C】

【Remarks: This skill can randomly create four types of items, which are:

1. Repair Robot (Existence time: 15 minutes, multiple repair robots can exist at the same time), can repair mechanical creations of dilapidated or garbage quality, permanently restoring them to ordinary quality.

2. Gnome Chickenizer (Existence time: 15 seconds, multiple Gnome Chickenizers can exist at the same time), can temporarily turn a creature (ineffective against overly powerful creatures and players) into a chicken, reverting after three seconds.

3. Navigation Chicken (Existence time: 2 seconds, a maximum of one Navigation Chicken can exist at the same time), immediately runs towards the nearest hostile unit upon formation.

4. Courage Robot 3000 (Existence time: 3 minutes, multiple Courage Robots can exist at the same time), a mechanical creature with extremely high defense and a majestic appearance, but with zero attack power, only able to block attacks or carry heavy objects for its master.

All four types of creatures above, except for the Navigation Chicken, can be remotely controlled mentally or commanded through voice.】

"Hmm... not bad." After reading the description, Feng Bujue said to Buu, "Are you interested in learning that 【Die Ling Shen Ying (Butterfly Spirit Divine Shadow)】? If not... I think it would be more suitable for Si Yu."

"Hehe... Teacher Jue, you're joking again." Buu replied with a smile, "Not to mention that my Combat Specialization hasn't reached A yet and my Spiritual Arts is only e, just look at the skill's remarks... it's not suitable for me to learn either."

"Well, then... what about 【Meikatuoke Zhili (Mechatork Power)】?" Feng Bujue asked again.

"My Machinery Specialization is B-level though." Ou Bu interjected, "It's just... my Summoning Specialization is only f, I don't know how long it'll take to learn this..."

"Then give it to me. My Machinery and Summoning Specializations both meet the requirements." Feng Bujue then looked at Buu and Ou Bu with a questioning tone. "Do you guys have any objections?"

"Ah... it should be yours." Ou Bu replied, "Everything in this box was obtained by Teacher Jue through 'negotiation'. Even if you took everything without saying anything, we wouldn't say anything."

"Well... then I'll accept it without hesitation." As Brother Jue spoke, he took the two skill cards from Buu and handed one of them to Ruoyu.

"But... now that I think about it..." At this moment, Buu seemed to have noticed something. He put his finger to his lips and muttered thoughtfully, "Teacher Jue... what exactly is your specialization? You can learn 【Meikatuoke Zhili (Mechatork Power)】, which means your Machinery Specialization is already B-level, and your Summoning Specialization is also C-level..." He paused for a moment. "Judging from your performance in the Butterfly Battle of the Peak Tournament, your Combat Specialization is definitely A-level... And earlier... you used a ranged weapon to instantly kill a giant monster, which means your Shooting Specialization is also..."

"Anyway, they're all pretty high," Feng Bujue said evasively, giving an answer that was no answer at all.

Buu and Ou Bu weren't stupid either. Upon hearing this, they understood that this topic had come to an end.

As members of a large guild like "Tian Di (Heaven and Earth)", they naturally understood some of the "rules" in the professional player circle—the character data of top players are top secret. Most people are unwilling or unable to disclose them (professional players sign related clauses with studios). Buu was just speaking off the cuff, saying what he was thinking as he thought it, which led to this comment.

"Alright, we've looked at the skills, let's distribute the equipment," Xiao Ling said at this time, cleverly changing the subject. "All six pieces of equipment are bound upon equipping, so I'll put them away first." (Because her knapsack space is very plentiful)

As Xiao Ling spoke, she had already taken the first item out of her knapsack.

And the one she chose... was precisely the only perfect-grade item among these six pieces of equipment.

【Name: Pioneer Shield】

【Type: Armor】

【Quality: Perfect】

【Defense: Extremely High】

【Attribute: Buffer】

【Effect: Increases bonus Survival Value cap by 7% when equipped, slightly increases Survival Value recovery speed, and has a 70% chance to block 30% of damage when receiving ordinary attacks (attacks other than special, powerful, or skill attacks)】

【Equipping Requirements: Level 40, Binds upon Equipping】

【Can be brought out of this script: Yes】

【Remarks: A Pioneer Shield left behind by a Death Knight under Gul'dan's command, capable of easily blocking any threatening attacks.】
