Chapter 198: Conflicting Quests
As for Purple Rose, she was in an even more awkward situation. She had completely forgotten about the announcement. After all, she still had a lot of core members. There was still a lot of work to be done, so she was not in a hurry to recruit new members.
Purple Rose said with a depressed expression, “How can Extreme God open a super large-scale guild secret realm?”
Doing so would require a total of 10 million guild funds. Although Extreme God was currently the number one guild in the world, what she did not understand was where did Li Cheng get 10 million in funds?
It must be known that Rose Guild, the second guild in the world, currently only had 1,000 in guild funds that were awarded by the system. She could not even open a small guild secret realm, not to mention a super large guild secret realm.
The members of Rose Guild could only feel envy and jealousy in the face of Extreme God. They could not afford to open a large-scale guild secret realm, nor could they afford all kinds of buffs. In comparison, they were like heaven and earth.
“Big Sister, let’s go do a quest?”
“That’s right. Isn’t it just 10 million guild funds? We sisters can get it in a few minutes!”
“If I didn’t have a guild withdrawal CD, I’d really like to join Extreme God. After I finish clearing the guild secret realm, I’ll run back here…”
“Ah, that’s a good idea. You’re such a smart kid!”
“It’s a pity that there’s a guild withdrawal CD. After I withdraw, I can’t join the guild for a month.”
“Then, let’s go to the Liver Guild for funds.”
Hearing the members’ words, Purple Rose felt a warmth in her heart. These crazy sisters could always comfort her during critical moments.
Purple Rose snorted in her heart. ‘Wasn’t it just ten million in guild funds?!’ She did not believe that she could not get the liver out within a week.
However, as soon as this idea popped up, it immediately died down. It seemed that it would be a little difficult to get a liver out within a week. How about a month?
Thinking of this, Purple Rose felt discouraged again. After establishing the guild, she had some small ideas and wanted to compete with Li Cheng. Now, it seemed that there was no comparison between the two of them.
However, the woman’s mentality was very strange. Soon, Purple Rose found a reason. She only heard herself muttering in a low voice, “It’s not that I’m too weak, but that Netherworld isn’t human. Well, that must be the case!”
…
A few hours later, according to the mission’s guidance, Li Cheng followed the oasis to his destination.
This was a strange desert. The color of the desert’s sand had turned dark yellow. The further they went, the darker the color became. A few minutes later, the color of the desert had turned pitch-black.
Now, they could call this place the Black Desert!
In the center of the Black Desert stood a pitch-black portal. Li Cheng did not hesitate and directly led his troops in.
“Ding, dong! You’ve entered the special map. Please, be careful!
“Ding, dong…”
An extremely empty area appeared in front of Li Cheng. Looking at the scene in front of him, his pupils constricted.
This place was too strange. The entire space was flat. What Li Cheng was concerned about was that the ground here was a little too flawless, a little too flat.
This meant that this place was not formed naturally, but was man-made!
Suddenly, a transparent spirit slowly appeared in front of Li Cheng. From the looks of it, it seemed to be a man.
The man looked at Li Cheng and said, “Human, you’re the first creature to break into this place in tens of thousands of years.”
Looking at the man in front of him, Li Cheng cast a scouting spell and the man’s information immediately appeared in front of him.
[Star Spirit Great Mage]
[Description: The Great Mage from the Astral World has died for some unknown reason and is in a spiritual state.]
[Level: ???]
[Grade: Mythical (Tier 2)]
[HP: ???]
[Defense: ???]
[Skills: ???]
“Star Spirit?” Looking at the information on the interface, Li Cheng’s eyebrows twitched.
The Star Spirit was a very high-end existence in this world. It looked down on the entire main plane.
They lived in a place called the Astral plane. The most famous creature there was the angels, and the Star Spirit was a resident of the Astral plane.
If Li Cheng remembered correctly, the Star Spirit was born with the strength of a Gold-grade being with a natural affinity for magic. With little effort, he would become a Legendary-grade great mage.
The Star Spirit in front of him was a Mythical-grade being. How could he have been killed and turned into a soul?
At this moment, the Star Spirit in front of him said, “There’s an incredibly evil creature that’s sealed here. I’ve been stationed here for tens of thousands of years.
“During the war many, many years ago, I was beaten and turned into a spirit while a few of my companions successfully sealed the evil creature here.
“However, the seal has loosened a little in recent years, causing all the plants in the surroundings to die and turn into a desert. The other Star Spirits and I could only temporarily move this place to a special plane. I didn’t expect to meet a living person here.
“Human, can you help me strengthen the seal? In return, I can give you the knowledge from the Astral World!
“The knowledge from the Astral World is a supreme existence. It’s definitely not something that normal planes can understand…”
After hearing his long explanation, Li Cheng had a rough understanding of the situation. It seemed that the Star Spirits had sealed something here.
The plot was very old-fashioned. The next step was to help his group strengthen the seal and then get the reward, right?
Just as Li Cheng was thinking, the system notification suddenly rang in his ear.
“Ding, dong! You’ve triggered a special SSS-class mission, Strengthen the seal!
“Ding, dong! You’ve triggered a special SSS-class mission, Break the seal!
“Hint: the two missions are contradictory and cannot be received at the same time!”
As the system’s voice fell, Li Cheng raised his eyebrows. Was there ever such a situation? If so, it was his first time encountering it. Thinking of this, Li Cheng carefully checked the details of the missions.
[Strengthen the seal (SSS)]
[Mission description: Star Spirit Great Mage has invited you to strengthen the seal hidden underground in the Death Desert. He has promised to give you the knowledge of the Astral World after completing it.]
[Mission Nature: only hidden]
[Mission Difficulty: 5,000,000]
[Mission content: strengthen the seal node (0/4)]
[Mission Reward: Astral World knowledge, Astral World equipment blueprint]
Looking at the mission rewards, Li Cheng felt that it was a little unrewarding. The mission difficulty of 5,000,000 was destined to not have too good a reward. Even if he triggered a 10,000-times amplification, the reward would probably not be much.
Thinking about it carefully, it made sense. How could the Star Spirit casually pass on the important knowledge of the Astral plane to others?
Thinking of this, Li Cheng shook his head and looked at the details of the other mission..
