Chapter 21: Encounter Snow Fall_l

    This was the tricky part about triggering this hidden mission.


    To trigger the mission, it was necessary to converse repeatedly with the NPC old gentleman for up to two hours. The same content had to be repeated four times before this hidden mission could be epted.


    Which ordinary yer would have such leisure time?


    The yers would, at most, chat with the NPC old gentleman for five minutes, and if they failed to trigger the mission, they would leave right away.


    Even those who were a bit more patient, when they found that NPC old gentleman’s words were repeating after half an hour, they too retreated one after another.


    Hence, this hidden mission was not triggered by anyone during Su Yu’s previous life, until the Blue Star humans were on the verge of annihtion. At that time, a yer who had lost hope unintentionally discovered this hidden mission.


    However, it was toote since thest few waves of Skuru’s attack had already arrived.


    Su Yu patiently chatted with the old gentleman for a full two hours.


    At the end of the fourth round of conversation, the NPC old gentleman’s leisurely state had suddenly changed.


    He got up from the bench, looking worriedly towards the East.


    “He’s here!” Su Yu perked up.


    The old gentleman stood up worryingly peering towards the alleyway for a while. Then he looked at Su Yu:


    “Ah! It’s already sote, why hasn’t my daughter Tinae yet? Young man, can you go to Morning Song grocery store in the northeastern part of the vige to check on her? She might have run into some trouble there.”


    “Ding! Excellent Level Hidden Mission [Tina’s Fight (1/20)] has been triggered.


    Do you ept?”


    “ept!”


    ‘Mission Description: Uncle John has asked you to go to Morning Song grocery store, to find his daughter Tina.’


    ‘Mission Reward: 200 Experience Points, 2 spiritual energy coins.’


    After epting the mission, Su Yu stood up and waved at NPC old gentleman: “Uncle John, I’m leaving. Wait for my good news!”


    ‘May the Gods watch over you, young man.’ Uncle John waved goodbye to Su


    Five minutester, Su Yu arrived at the door of Morning Song grocery store.


    Morning Song grocery store was situated in a secluded alley in the eastern residential area of the vige. Very few yers wereing or going.


    Just as Su Yu was about to push the door and go in, a female yer came out from the grocery store.


    “Excuse me… Huh? Is it you? Nemesis!” This female yer’s eyes lit up when she saw Su Yu.


    But seeming to have recalled something, the female yer’s eyes turned mncholic.


    “Hello there! Snow Fall.” Su Yu waved in greeting.


    This female yer was indeed Snow Fall. Su Yu had met her twice before.


    However, noticing Snow Fall’s “mncholic” gaze, Su Yu felt somewhat baffled.


    He was familiar with this mncholic gaze.


    Su Yu had refused quite a few girls, who after being turned down, would look at him with a mncholic gaze.


    Snow Fall was giving him the same mncholic gaze.


    Su Yu mumbled to himself:


    “We didn’t have any interaction, did we? Why is she looking at me like this?”


    So, Su Yu awkwardly asked: “Uhm… where’s your father?”


    “My dad logged off. He’s old and not fit for long durations of game y.” “Then why are you giving me that look?”


    “Nemesis, you stole my hidden mission [Savi Goddess’s Tear].” Snow Fall said in a mncholic tone.


    Once Snow Fall took on the first step of [Savi Goddess’s Tear], no one else could take on this mission unless she failed.


    Snow Fall also noticed that Su Yu had “cut in” at the tenth step of the mission.


    However, she didn’t me Nemesis. There wasn’t much to be said when one’s skills were inferior and the mission was stolen. But she still felt somewhat uneasy.


    “Oh, it was you!” Su Yu suddenly realized.


    So, in his previous life, it was Snow Fall who hadpleted the hidden mission.


    Eventually, “Snow Fall” failed toplete the follow-up task [Annie’s Revenge] and was banned, leaving “Evolution” for good.


    No wonder Su Yu had never heard of the name “Snow Fall”.


    After all, Snow Fall was good-looking and one of the first batch of yers, she should have some small fame.


    “What does ‘it was me’ mean?” Snow Fall was clueless; she didn’t understand what Su Yu was saying.


    “Nothing.” Su Yu changed the subject: “Since I snatched your hidden task, how about I give you a piece of equipment aspensation?”


    Su Yu took out the [Scales of Chest Armor] from his bag and handed it to Snow Fall, also showing her the armor’s property panel.


    [Scales of Chest Armor Iv5 (Excellent)]


    Type: Leather Armor


    Defense+6


    AgilitY+3


    Although Su Yu avoided the fate of Snow Fall being banned, objectively speaking, Su Yu also took away a [Tear of the Goddess] from her.


    So Su Yu decided to give the [Scales of Chest Armor] to Snow Fall aspensation, after all, it wouldn’t fetch much on the trade station.


    Snow Fall was startled when she saw the properties of the [Scales of Chest Armor].


    This is a level 5 green quality chest armor!


    The [Iron Boots (Excellent) IV3] that Nemesis put up for sale at the merchandise station are now bidding up to 50 spiritual energy coins. How could [Scales of Chest Armor] not cost 100 spiritual energy coins? At the current ck market rate of 1:20, it’s close to 2000 real world money in Flower Coins!


    “No! It’s too valuable, I can’t ept it!” Snow Fall quickly waved her hand and backed away a few steps.


    “Just take it.”


    “I said no…how about we add each other as friends, Nemesis, and look out for each other for good tasks in the future!”


    While saying this, Snow Fall sent Su Yu a friend request.


    Thetter half of what Snow Fall said was just a courtesy, she was just trying to find a way out and didn’t really expect Nemesis to give her any tasks.


    Su Yu was aware of this.


    “Alright then, I’ll contact you it there is any suitable task in the future.” Su Yu epted Snow Fall’s friend request.


    “Well, goodbye! Great master!” Snow Fall waved and turned to leave.


    “Wait! I have a question for you.” Su Yu suddenly remembered and stopped her.


    “What is it?” Snow Fall turned back.


    “It’s like this.” Su Yu exined: “Did you see a shopkeeper named ‘Tina’ when you were in the general store earlier?”


    “Tina…..” Snow Fall tapped her chin with her index finger: “I came here from the quest line from Baron Wilson, and if I remember correctly, Tina should be at the gate of Baron Wilson’s manor, I’ve seen her there.”


    “Baron Wilson…Thank you so much! This information is really useful to me!”


    Su Yu thanked her.


    “No problem.” Snow Fall smiled and turned to run off.


    After parting with Snow Fall, Su Yu officially started the hidden task [Tina’s Resistance].


    The first 5 rings of [Tina’s Resistance] are mainly about decryption tasks.


    Since Tina was not at the general store, yers had to decrypt tasks to find out where she had gone.


    Many of the decrypted clues were very misleading.


    For example, “Tina has taken a liking to a skirt and is going to try it on at the clothing store.”


    Or, “Tina and the warrior supervisor Quinn have an appointment for talent testing at the warrior’s guild.”


    Or, “Tina is tracking a lost puppy.”


    All sorts of incorrect information always tried to mislead Su Yu.


    Luckily, Su Yu got urate information from Snow Fall, which made it easy for him to sort out the misinformation and sessfullyplete the decryption task.


    Afterpleting the five decryption tasks, Su Yu arrived at the front gate of Baron Wilson’s manor where he met the main character of the task, Tina..
