Chapter 19: Mission Reward: Noah’s Dagger!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Lu Yuan stepped forward and grabbed Noah’s Gem in his hand.

[Obtained precious item: Noah’s Gem.]

[Noah’s Gem]

[Description]: It possesses great power. It was once an unknown village’s precious treasure, but was snatched away by the blood demons and worshipped as the most valuable treasure in the world. Its effects are unknown, and it has some mysterious powers.

As expected, this is the Noah’s Gem that the Village Chief is looking for.

All he needed to do now was to pass this gem to the Village Chief and the mission would be completed!

Lu Yuan took a look at his Stealth state. Remaining time: 1 minute 21 seconds.

There wasn’t much time left!

He had to hurry back.

Leaving was easier than coming in as he had already familiarized himself with the route.

Thus, with his highest speed, Lu Yuan sprinted and quickly left.

He ignored the blood demons he encountered along the way. As long as they did not bump into each other, it would be fine. If he did bump into one, it was very likely that they would immediately be alarmed.

Naturally, Lu Yuan did not want any extra trouble, so he maintained a steady but fast pace.

Some blood demons could even feel the wind that Lu Yuan stirred up as he ran, but they could not see or sense the presence of anything else, and they were left confused.

Finally, after running a stretch of the route, Lu Yuan managed to leave the Cave of Death just before the Stealth effect ended.

He had just about used up the duration!

This made Lu Yuan feel a lingering fear. He did not expect time to be so tight.

It was enough to show how difficult this mission was.

However, thinking about it, the guy that completed this mission in his previous life was probably a genius. He probably used a lot of positioning techniques to study the blood demons’ patrol route thoroughly, which was probably why he succeeded.

Unlike Lu Yuan, who did the mission simply and crudely by directly ignoring the blood demons.

...

Soon, Lu Yuan returned to the central area of the novice village and knocked on the Village Chief’s door a few times.

“Today’s missions have all been handed out. Come back tomorrow.”

The Village Chief’s voice came from inside the house.

Lu Yuan coughed lightly and said, “Village Chief, it’s me. I’ve brought back Noah’s Gem.”

Just as Lu Yuan finished speaking, the Village Chief’s door was directly thrown open.

Lu Yuan was directly pulled in by the Village Chief, who then conveniently closed the door!

His actions were as smooth as flowing water, and even Lu Yuan could not help but sigh in amazement. The Village Chief was vigorous for his old age, and his movements were still as agile as ever.

“Where’s the item? Did you just say you brought it back?”

For a moment, the Village Chief seemed to be a little anxious and his gaze was firmly locked on Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan could not help but smile and say, “It’s here.”

As he spoke, Lu Yuan took out Noah’s Gem from his backpack.

When it was taken out, it immediately bloomed with a brilliant light. It was a gentle bright yellow light, which was extremely pleasing to the eyes.

The Village Chief looked at Noah’s Gem on Lu Yuan’s hand and could not help but widen his eyes.

His gaze seemed to be stuck to it, and his entire body trembled slightly.

The Village Chief trembled as he stretched out his hand. He was so excited that he could not even speak clearly.

“This... is... really... Noah’s Gem...”

The Village Chief’s eyes were filled with tears.

At this moment, it was as if he was seeing his closest relative once again, whom he had been separated from for a whole 30 years.

No, his reaction was even more exaggerated than this.

Lu Yuan even suspected that the Village Chief might faint on the spot.

Lu Yuan said softly, “This is Noah’s Gem!”

The Village Chief gently took Noah’s Gem from Lu Yuan’s hand and held them in his palms. He was so excited that he could not speak.

The moment he touched it, he could feel the warmth of Noah’s Gem as well as its gentle light.

The Village Chief excitedly said, “That’s right! I’m sure! This... This is Noah’s Gem! Noah’s Gem! It’s finally back!”

Then, the Village Chief abruptly raised his head and said, “Child, you’ve completed the mission with flying colors! Come, these rewards are yours!”

A golden light flashed.

[Congratulations to the player for completing the hidden mission ‘Retrieve Noah’s Gem’. The mission reward is being distributed.]

[Congratulations to the player for obtaining 2,000 EXP, 200 gold coins, Noah’s Dagger!]

[The Village Chief’s favorability towards you has increased by 300! Current favorability is at ‘Fond’!]

Following the distribution of the rewards, Lu Yuan felt a warmth on his body, and he directly leveled up again, reaching level 8!

The speed of him leveling up could be said to be flying!

Most importantly, Noah’s Dagger was lying quietly in his backpack.

[Noah’s Dagger]

[Rarity] : Purple

[Equipment Level]: Level 10

[Description]: This is a dagger infused with the divine power of Noah’s Gem. It was forged by the best forgers in the village, and it has the power of a mysterious aura.

[Effects] : Strength +10, Agility +10, Attack speed +10.

[Special Effect]: Noah’s Strike.

[Noah’s Strike]

[Description]: An intense attack brought about by Noah’s Gem, dealing a powerful blow to the target.

[Effect]: When attacking, there is a 10% chance for the player to deal 200% additional damage to the target.

[Note]: Equipment can be upgraded, upgrade condition unknown

Looking at this dagger, Lu Yuan was so happy he almost drooled!

It was a purple-grade dagger, and the attributes of the dagger were also very strong.

On top of that, it had a special effect that could cause 200% damage, though there was only a 10% chance of dealing such damage, and it was dependent on luck.

However, Lu Yuan noticed that the dagger could be upgraded!

This meant that this dagger still had room for growth.

Perhaps in the future, this dagger would grow into a piece of divine equipment!

No wonder in his previous life, the thief who obtained this dagger became a legendary character later on.

Such a dagger was simply invincible!

Unfortunately, Lu Yuan was still only at level 8. He would only be able to equip this dagger when he reached level 10.

It just so happened that after he leveled up to level 10, he would be able to leave the novice village and head to the main city.

The Village Chief’s mission had been completed. Even if Lu Yuan spoke to him again, it would not trigger anything else.

All that greeted his eyes was the scene of the Village Chief giggling while hugging Noah’s Gem.

Although the scene was amusing, Lu Yuan was not willing to waste time looking at the Village Chief giggling.

Lu Yuan left the Village Chief’s house.

Right now, he needed to properly level up.

Lu Yuan had to be faster than all the players to level up to level 10 so that he could enter Amber City before anyone else.

This was because Lu Yuan knew that Amber City had many hidden missions.

This was also his advantage.

If he let someone else beat him to the draw, he would have nowhere to cry of his regret.

Lu Yuan opened the map. In the east of the novice village, there was a wild forest. In this wild forest, there was a cemetery.

This cemetery would spawn skeleton guards that were over level 10.

These skeleton guards were just nice for him to level up. They were the most suitable.

At the same time, they were also within his training range, his training efficiency would not be low.

Thus, he sprinted along the way.

The moment he left the novice village, he could see some players fighting monsters in groups.

From time to time, he would also hear waves of screams. They were either the screams of the players or the monsters.

Of course, there were also the angry curses of the players.

Lu Yuan ignored them all and directly ran to his destination.
