“What’s the big deal about a Combat Mentor? I refuse to believe that he’s the only one in this game. I might just not take on this test quest!”
“Yeah, the guy thinks he can charge exorbitant prices because he knows we need him for our quests. If we give up on this one, there could be countless other possibilities in the future…”
The players nearby started to express their dissatisfaction and murmur among themselves.
Song Jian didn’t mind their complaints, still wearing an indifferent smile. Some of them left disappointed, but none of those who were complaining about the cost of the quest task actually left. They all hoped that the price could be somehow negotiated down.
He had initially been planning to sell the Fine Iron Boxing Gloves one by one, but after a moment’s hesitation, Song Jian pulled out ten pairs at once and shouted: “Bundled sale, ten pairs for one thousand Doomsday Coins! If you want them, then pay up! No dilly-dallying!”
Time was running out for the test quest. As soon as Song Jian finished speaking, someone immediately handed over one thousand Doomsday Coins to him.
While the others were still hesitating, this person had already packed the ten pairs of Fine Iron Boxing Gloves into their backpack.
“Make way, folks,” said Fan Wei, politely excusing himself from the crowd, a calm look on his face. One thousand Doomsday Coins was not much money for the players present, what they were measuring was if a Combat Mentor’s test quest was worth it.
Fan Wei had come across this main quest five to six days ago. He had tried searching for a Combat Mentor but failed to find even one. He knew the chances of finding a Combat Mentor were very low, let alone ten of them. Seeing the opportunity now, he wanted to seize it.
After completing the transaction, Song Jian summoned his motorcycle and drove back to the villa where Han Hai, the Ancient Martial Arts Master was. There wasn’t much time left for the test quest, and if he didn’t leave soon, he might not make it in time.
Seeing Song Jian leave, Fan Wei felt a tightening in his heart. He quickly said, “Folks, I’ll be going ahead.”
Song Jian quickly returned to the small courtyard of the villa, where he saw Han Hai sipping tea under a large tree in the courtyard.
“Master Han, I’ve come to complete the quest!” Song Jian laid out the ten pairs of Fine Iron Boxing Gloves on the table.
Surprise flickered in Han Hai’s eyes. Amongst the group, he didn’t have high expectations of anyone and had intentionally chosen the most difficult task. Unexpectedly, someone actually managed to complete it.
Remaining expressionless, Han Hai gave a slight nod, then waved his hand to store the boxing gloves. Standing up, he slowly stated: “Well done, to have gathered ten pairs of Fine Iron Boxing Gloves in such a short time!”
“You flatter me, Master. I hope you can now enlighten me about the profession of Ancient Martial Arts Master!” Song Jian respectfully requested.
System: You completed the quest from Ancient Martial Arts Master Han Hai, greatly improving your affinity with him. He then explained to you the details of the Ancient Martial Arts Master class.
“Haha, the class of Ancient Martial Arts Master evolved from the national skills of the ancient Huaxia, it’s a killing art. Every move aims for a fatal hit, almost always causing harm or death in combat. Come with me to the Explanation Space, and you can understand more about the superiority of the Ancient Martial Arts Master class!” Nodding, Han Hai directly pulled Song Jian into the Explanation Space.
About ten minutes later, Song Jian emerged from the Explanation Space, a shocked look on his face.
“This… It’s like a human monster. They can really use just their hands to clash with a tank!” Song Jian couldn’t help but exclaim. He suddenly remembered the BOSS he encountered in the instance dungeon before, who could crush a rocket with its bare hands. It seems that mastering martial arts was just as good as using sophisticated weapons.
“Skills in the game can be used in the real world. If I could possess such martial arts in real life… Huaxia is one of the countries with the strictest gun control. If my fists could combat rockets, wouldn’t I be invincible, especially without the threat of firearms?” Song Jian thought to himself.
System: You found a Combat Mentor and gained knowledge about the Ancient Martial Arts Master profession. Main quest completion: 7/10.
Suppressing the excitement of immediately becoming a disciple, Song Jian looked at his taskbar. He had completed 70% of the main task, and he just needed to find three more Combat Mentors to complete the quest.
This time, Song Jian had been in the game for more than a week. The sync between the game and real-world time was far from being well coordinated, and being in the game for too long could cause a person to feel disoriented when they come back to reality.
Song Jian made a small bow to Han Hai, then turned to leave. He had decided to understand all the professions before making a choice.
“What a pity. I still haven’t encountered the Sword Immortal class. If I can’t find a Combat Mentor, does it mean that I can’t pursue the Sword Immortal class? After choosing another class, I wonder if those two Sword Immortal Techniques, Invisible Sword Qi, and Sword Finger, will still be preserved?” Song Jian thought to himself.
Invisible Sword Qi and Sword Finger were both very powerful skills. Invisible Sword Qi could not only provide energy for Sword Finger but also be attached to weapons to inflict additional damage. Sword Finger was powerful and swift in action and was hard to detect and defend against in close range.
System: You have a new message. Please check it soon.
The sky was gradually darkening. Song Jian was originally planning to go back to the roof of the Tianfeng Building to check if the Combat Mentor had left, but it seemed he would have to wait till the next day. The Tianfeng Building was a zone for level 15 monsters, whose battle power would fully recover at night. The level 15 ordinary monsters were even more troublesome than the level 10 elite BOSS during the day. If Song Jian was surrounded then, he most likely could only run away. If this led to the task being failed, it would be such a pity.
Back at Manor Castle, Song Jian astonishingly found that the Black Dragon hatchling had awakened. It was flapping its wings, continuously spitting fire, and hunting level one mutant zombies along the wall of the castle courtyard.
The mutant zombies were incessantly enraged, waving their arms and trying to jump up to attack the Black Dragon hatchling. The Black Dragon hatchling couldn’t fly too high or it would automatically exit the combat mode, and the zombie would run away. It flapped its wings and moved nimbly, evading each of the zombie’s jump attacks while taking the opportunity to spit fire back.
Not long after, the mutant zombie was defeated and turned into a pile of black ashes, and the Black Dragon hatchling flew off in search of the next target. If there were too many mutant zombies, the Black Dragon hatchling would lure them to the castle wall to let the Arrow Towers and Catapults take them down. It seemed quite smart.
The items collected from the zombies were out of reach for the Black Dragon hatchling, thus all got taken by the Bloody Ghostly Poisonous Tree Alex instead.
Buzz-
A golden light radiated from the Black Dragon hatchling’s body as it leveled up to Elite Level 2, and its size also increased.
Seeing Song Jian return, the Black Dragon hatchling finished off the last zombie, flapped its wings and flew towards him.
