Chapter 21 Encountering Snowflakes by chance
?This is the difficulty in triggering this hidden mission.
? To trigger the mission, you must have repeated conversations with the NPC Grandpa. The conversation lasts for up to 2 hours and the conversation content is repeated 4 times before you can receive this hidden mission.
How can ordinary players have such free time?
? Players can chat with the NPC grandpa for five minutes at most, and then leave without triggering the task.
Even those who were more patient, after half an hour of conversation, found that the NPC grandfather’s words were repeated, they all retreated.
So this hidden mission was never triggered by Su Yu in his previous life. It was not until the Blue Star humanity was about to be destroyed that a player who had lost hope accidentally discovered this hidden mission.
?But it was too late, by then the last few waves of the Skrull offensive had arrived.
Su Yu patiently chatted with the old man for two full hours.
At the end of the fourth conversation, the NPC grandpa''s leisurely state suddenly changed.
He sat up from the bench and looked toward the east with worried eyes.
“Here we come!” Su Yu cheered up.
The old man stood up and looked worriedly at the entrance of the alley for a while, then looked at Su Yu:
"Oh! It''s so late, why hasn''t my daughter Tina come here yet? Young man, can you go to the Chenge grocery store in the northeast of the village to look for her? She may have encountered some trouble there."
“Ding! The excellent hidden mission [Tina’s Resistance (1/20)] has been triggered. Do you want to accept it?”
"accept!"
“Task description: Uncle John entrusts you to go to Morning Song Grocery Store to find traces of his daughter Tina.”
“Task reward: 200 experience points and 2 power coins.”
After accepting the mission, Su Yu stood up and waved to the NPC grandfather: "Uncle John, I''ll go and wait for my good news!"
“May the gods be watching over you, young man.” Uncle John and Su Yu waved goodbye.
Five minutes later, Su Yu arrived at the door of Chenge Grocery Store.
??Chenge Grocery Store is located in a remote alley in the residential area to the east of the village, with very few players coming and going.
Su Yu was about to open the door and walk in, when a female player walked out of the grocery store.
"Excuse me. Huh? It''s you? Nemesis!" When the female player saw Su Yu, her eyes suddenly lit up.
But as if she thought of something, the female player''s eyes immediately turned resentful.
"Hello! Snow falls." Su Yu waved to greet her.
?This female player is Xue Hualuo, and Su Yu has met her twice.
??However, Su Yu felt a little baffled when he noticed Xue Hualuo''s "resentful" eyes.
?This kind of resentful look is very familiar to him.
Su Yu has rejected many girls. After being rejected, those girls would look at him with resentful eyes.
?Xue Hualuo also had this resentful look in his eyes.
Su Yu secretly muttered in his heart:
"I haven''t had any interaction with her, have I? Why is she looking at me like this?"
?So Su Yu asked a little unnaturally: "Well... where is your father?"
“My dad is offline. He is old and not suitable for long-term gaming.”
“Then why are you looking at me like that?”
“Nemesis, you stole my hidden mission [Tears of the Goddess Savi].” Xue Hualuo said quietly.
【Tears of the Goddess Savi】After Xuehualuo receives the first ring, unless she fails the mission, others will not be able to receive this mission.
?Xue Hualuo also saw that Su Yu was "jumping in line" in the tenth round of the mission.
??However, she didn''t blame her nemesis. She had nothing to say when her skills were taken away from her, but she still felt a little uncomfortable.
“Oh! So it’s you!” Su Yu suddenly said.
It turns out that in the previous life, it was Xue Hualuo who completed the hidden mission.
Later, Xuehualuo failed to complete the follow-up task [Annie''s Revenge] and was banned from playing "Evolution". No wonder Su Yu had never heard of the name "Xuehualuo".
After all, Xuehualuo looks good and is one of the first players, so he should be famous no matter what.
…
"What does ''it turns out to be me'' mean?" Xue Hualuo was confused. She didn''t understand what Su Yu was talking about.
"Nothing." Su Yu changed the subject: "Since I stole your hidden mission, how about I give you a piece of equipment as compensation?"
Su Yu took out the [Slippery Scale Breastplate] from his backpack and handed it to Xue Hualuo, while also showing her the attribute panel of the chest armor.
【Slippery Scale Breastplate lv5 (Excellent)】
Type: Leather Armor
Defense +6
Agility +3
??Although Su Yu avoided Xue Hualuo''s fate of being banned, objectively speaking, Su Yu also robbed her of [Tears of the Goddess].
?So Su Yu decided to give the [Slippery Scale Breastplate] to Xue Hualuo as compensation. After all, this thing wouldn''t fetch much money even if it was thrown into the goods station.
Xue Hualuo was immediately surprised when she saw the properties of [Slippery Scale Breastplate].
This is actually a level 5 green quality breastplate!
?The piece [Dark Iron Boots (Excellent) lv3] that Nemesis put on the shelves in the warehouse is now bid for 50 power coins. Why doesn''t [Slippery Scale Breastplate] cost 100 power coins? The current black market price of psychic coins is 1:20, which is nearly 2,000 flower-growing coins in real currency!
"No! This is too valuable, I can''t have it!" Xue Hualuo waved her hands hurriedly and took two steps back.
“Take it.”
“I said it’s no good, so let’s add a friend as my nemesis, and just keep an eye on me if there are any good tasks in the future!”
?Xue Hualuo said while sending Su Yu a friend application.
??The second half of Xue Hualuo''s words were completely polite. She just wanted to find a place for herself. She didn''t expect her nemesis to provide her with any tasks.
Su Yu also knows this.
“Well, I’ll contact you if I have any suitable tasks in the future.”
Su Yu accepted Xue Hualuo’s friend application.
“That’s it, goodbye! Master!” Xue Hualuo waved her hand and turned around to leave.
"Wait a minute! I have something to ask you." Su Yu suddenly thought of something and stopped her.
“What’s the matter?” Snowflake turned around.
"That''s it." Su Yu explained: "When you were in the grocery store, did you see a shopkeeper named ''Tina''?"
"Tina." Xue Hualuo tapped her chin with her index finger: "I came here from Baron Wilson''s quest line. If I remember correctly, Tina should be at the gate of Baron Wilson''s manor, where I met her. "
“Baron Wilson, thank you very much! This information is very useful to me!” Su Yu thanked him.
"You''re welcome." Xue Hualuo smiled, turned around and ran away.
After separating from Xue Hualuo, Su Yu began to officially conquer the hidden mission of "Tina''s Resistance".
【Tina''s Resistance】The first five links are mainly decryption tasks.
??Tina is not in the grocery store, and players need to find out where she went through decryption tasks.
Many of the clues decrypted are extremely misleading.
For example, “Tina has taken a liking to a small skirt and is going to a clothing store to try it on.”
Another example is "Tina and the warrior supervisor Quinn made an appointment to do a talent test at the warrior guild."
Or “Tina is tracking a puppy that has been separated from its family.”
??All kinds of wrong information always want to lead Su Yu into the ditch.
?But fortunately, Su Yu learned accurate information from Xue Hualuo, easily eliminated the wrong information, and successfully completed the decryption task.
After completing the 5-ring decryption mission, Su Yu came to the door of Baron Wilson''s manor and met the protagonist of the mission, Tina.
