Chapter 96 Urgent Mission
The chat group that we have become accustomed to changes without warning, and the red light that keeps flashing seems to indicate that something dangerous is coming.
Chu Lu's heart suddenly tightened.
At this time, multiple pop-up windows popped up one after another.
[An unknown female character invades World Zero. 】
[It is speculated that the location is near Shu County, Lujiang County. 】
[Please catch the intruder as soon as possible and hand it over to the chat group. 】
[Task reward: Strengthen the chat group and open multiple permissions. 】
[Mission punishment:! @#￥&*】
Seeing these contents, Chu Lu immediately frowned and had many doubts in his heart.
——World Zero? Does it refer to the current world? An unusual number, and it doesn't say male or female.
——Is there an invasion of female video characters? Is it like me using the Boundary Breaking Talisman to go to my group of friends? What is their purpose?
——And the mission reward...
Thinking of this, Chu Lu suddenly stopped his increasingly scattered thoughts.
The previous doubts are not something that you can figure out by yourself. It is better to act quickly and catch the female video character. Then it will be clear to you.
And the punishment in the final mission looked pretty bad, and he didn't want to figure out what that bunch of gibberish meant.
So Chu Lu suddenly stood up and left the fairy dormitory.
As he walked outside, he thought about what to do.
The chat group gives the approximate location of the female channel character. Although it is not clear where exactly Shu County of Lujiang County is, one thing is clear, it is definitely not inside the mountain gate of Lingxiao Sword Sect.
The Lingxiao Sword Sect is very strict with its disciples, and they are not allowed to leave the mountain easily without any trouble.
Therefore, Chu Lu had to find a reason first.
He came to the deacon's hall.
Lingxiao Sword Sect is very large, and there are many daily chores in the sect. Because of its reputation, people often ask for help. Lingxiao Sword Sect found it difficult to manage, so they simply set up the Deacon Hall and distributed all the tasks to the disciples within the sect to choose on their own.
Just pick a mission that requires you to go down the mountain, and then find the female character on the way to the mission. This is Chu Lu's plan.
When he came to the Deacon Hall, Chu Lu first found a map.
Since new people come here often, we prepare a lot of similar things.
Detailed maps are drawn here, things you need to pay attention to when going down the mountain, and gold and silver exchanges are all available here.
After finding the specific location of Shu County, Lujiang County on the map, Chu Lu went to the list to find a suitable task.
The tasks on the list were divided according to difficulty, content type and geographical location, so Chu Lu easily found the lowest level task - to get rid of the wild boars that were infested on Mao'er Mountain.
Mao'er Mountain is located near Shu County, Lujiang County, less than ten miles away, which is very suitable.
Chu Lu took the reward list and went to the deacon to register.
The deacon didn't even look at him. He took Chu Lu's list and registered it. While writing, he asked, "Name?"
"Chu Lu."
"First time here?"
"right."
"Cultivation?"
"Middle stage of foundation building."
"Which peak is it from?"
"Sword Forging Peak." "Are you a sword forging master?"
"No, I am a spiritual pattern master."
The deacon paused immediately and closed the book: "No approval."
Chu Lu frowned: "Why?"
"You still ask why? Don't you know this?" The deacon said without a good face. "The rules were issued early in the door. The spirit pattern masters are not allowed to come to take over the task. They can concentrate on carving spirit patterns in the mountains."
"But I saw that there are many tasks on the list that indicate that you must be a spiritual pattern master."
"That was a special situation, and we had to do it as a last resort." The deacon said, "But this is an ordinary task for you. It can be done by someone else. You are not needed."
"Then please help me find something I can pick up."
"No."
"No?"
"No!" said the deacon: "There are only a few tasks that only spirit pattern masters can do, and even fewer can be taken on in the middle stage of foundation building."
"real?"
"What did I lie to you for?"
Chu Lu took out one of the five bottles of cultivation elixir he could get every month, put it on the table in front of him and said, "Really?"
When the deacon saw the elixir, his eyes immediately went straight.
He would do such mindless and tedious work here, and his status was naturally not high. The pills that the spirit pattern master could obtain were considered to be of the highest quality in his eyes.
Deacon: "...just wait a moment."
He turned around and rummaged through the pile of case files, and finally came back and said, "Actually, there is a suitable mission here, but..."
"but?"
The deacon looked a little embarrassed and explained to Chu Lu.
This task is very simple. It is nothing more than a group of casual cultivators who happened to discover a cave and wanted to go in and explore. However, there is a seal outside the cave, and the seal seems to be related to the spirit pattern, so they hope to find a spirit pattern master to break the seal.
The reason why this task is not on the list is because someone has taken it before. It failed.
Considering that the reward was time-limited, the casual cultivators had no intention of overtime. Even if someone took on the task again, they might not be able to reach the destination in time, so they simply didn't put it up.
"Although the last person failed, according to his description, the spirit pattern seal can indeed be broken by the middle stage of foundation building. So if you want to take it, you can. But..." the deacon explained: "Inside the door In order to prevent disciples from being overjoyed and taking on missions that they cannot complete, the punishment for mission failure is quite severe. In addition, since you are a spirit pattern master, the sect does not want you to go out during special periods. If you fail this time, the consequences will be severe. It’s just…worse.”
"It doesn't matter." Chu Lu said without hesitation: "That's it."
He was still more worried about the punishment from the chat group than the punishment from the sect.
"Okay, don't blame me for not persuading you." The deacon immediately took the elixir, registered it for Chu Lu, and then said, "You can go on the mission."
Chu Lu nodded and immediately turned around and left the Deacon Hall.
He said hello to several fellow disciples, and then, regardless of their surprised looks, he immediately left the mountain gate and ran towards Shu County, Lujiang County as fast as possible.
Three days later, he arrived at his destination.
Looking at the slightly mottled city wall in front and the listless soldiers at the door, Chu Lu took a deep breath before stepping into the county town.
Walking into the city, a not-so-wide street appeared, with uneven stone pavement on the ground.
There are various shops on both sides of the street, some selling groceries, some selling food, and some selling fabrics. Most of the store signs are faded, and some are even missing a corner. There were not many pedestrians on the road. There were vendors carrying burdens, pedestrians in a hurry, and women walking slowly with their children in hand.
There are some simple items on the street stalls, and the stall owners shout from time to time, hoping to attract the attention of passers-by.
Chu Lu looked solemn.
