305: Chapter 304: Shocking Heart 305: Chapter 304: Shocking Heart No kidding, this achievent has a player limit!
Ti is so precious, who could afford to waste it?
Soon, word quickly spread, from one to ten, then ten to a hundred.
Friends shared it among each other, this hidden achievent that could earn system rewards flew around like wildfire throughout the entire social circle.
As a result, the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts began bustling with activity, people scattered everywhere, everyone had joined in the massive running event.
Moreover, the situation continued to escalate.
more and more players participated, so many that even walking beca a problem.
Only then the whole thing ca to a standstill.
However, the one who started the rumor, Su Ran, was walking leisurely in the Imperial City square of the Human Race at this mont, looking left and right, but sohow, he couldn’t find the lovely figure anywhere.
“Where did she go?”
“Hold on, I’m in the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts.
Heard about this hidden achievent to grab, just let finish these twenty thousand steps!
There are too many people here, can’t even run properly!”
The complaining voice of the wimpy guy ca over.
I’m dizzy!!
Would she believe if I told her that I was the one who started this rumor?
“Co back first, I still have a task to complete.”
Su Ran kindly reminded.
“Wait, I’ve already run 1500 steps, I can’t stop now.
I have to be the first to get this system reward!”
The unwilling voice of the wimpy guy ca over, filled with determination.
Rumors are indeed more feared than tigers!
“Alright, you keep running then, I have a task to do.
If the achievent pops up, let know, so I can admire your efforts.”
“Alright!
No more talking, it’s wasting my ti!”
What the…she’s really taking this seriously.
Such an outco was sothing Su Ran hadn’t predicted.
He suddenly felt like he was a bit of a scoundrel, having manipulated a whole bunch of people, and he felt a bit guilty about it.
Well, skeletons don’t have hearts anyway.
Besides, having them do more exercise could promote heart and lung functions, as well as competitive spirits, which could still be considered a good thing.
Emmmm…
thinking this way, he imdiately felt much better.
At that mont, Su Ran arrived at the Royal Capital.
What first caught his eye was a magnificent ancient building.
There were two fully ard human guards outside the door, each holding a gleaming silver spear, dutifully guarding the gate to the Royal Capital.
Err, compared to the two skeleton archers at the entrance of my territory, these guys are much tougher!
“This is a restricted area of the Royal Capital, no loitering allowed!”
“Who goes there, state your na quickly!”
Seeing Su Ran approaching, the two human guards instantly went on the offensive.
The tips of their gleaming silver spears pointed directly at Su Ran, emitting an intense sense of combat readiness.
This made Su Ran abandon any thoughts of trying to force his way in.
“Gentlen, I’ve heard rumors about your renowned bravery across the God-Demon Continent.
Now that I see you in person, I can confirm that the rumors are indeed true!”
Su Ran wouldn’t try to force his way in.
He stepped forward and discreetly handed over so silver coins saying, “Sirs, standing under this blazing sun even a man of iron would beco parched and sweaty, such hard work certainly demonstrates your indomitable spirit, your unwavering loyalty to the great Human Emperor, and your heart is as solid as gold!”
“These humble items in my hand are not bribes, but tokens of my respect to you.
It’s my wish that the two of you would use them to get good food, cherish your health and save up energy, to beco the elite soldiers that guard the Human Race.
This is what the Emperor would like to see!”
“Alright, alright, we appreciate your kindness!”
The two guards seed pleased.
As soon as Su Ran finished speaking, they took the silver coins without any hesitation, each taking half.
If I’d known they’d be like this, I wouldn’t have wasted my breath!
Su Ran looked at these two who had changed dramatically in the blink of an eye – one second they were like enemies, the next second they were as close as friends.
It really was a remarkable thing!
He couldn’t help but exclaim, “Money is indeed omnipotent!”
“Gentlen, pardon my boldness, but I have a request.”
Seeing that the ti was right, Su Ran sighed softly, sounding rather somber.
He called the two guards ‘brother,’ which made their relationship feel closer.
“Brother, please go ahead!”
The two guards eagerly responded.
They had rarely seen such a resourceful human.
Maybe the generous visitor would be in good spirits and give out more money, that would be even better.
When you’re treated well by soone you should do sothing for them in return, that’s an eternal truth.
“Ah, dear brothers, I’m in a bit of a difficult position.
Soone suggested to recently that there’s a man of great wisdom in the Royal Capital, Daoist Wang, who I hope could guide in life.
Unfortunately, the Royal Capital is heavily guarded and even a fly couldn’t get in.
I just don’t know what to do?”
Su Ran cast a quick glance at the faces of the two guards.
They looked sympathetic, but mostly appeared helpless.
“Brother, I understand your problem!
It really is a pity to have such…ahem…
troubles at such a young age.”
Understand…Understand what?
Only then did Su Ran realize what these guys were sympathetic about…
“Gentlen, I think there’s been a misunderstanding!
I am seeking luck, as things haven’t been going well for recently, I’m quite troubled!”
“Oh, I see, we may have misunderstood you.
But, every country has its own laws, the Royal Capital has its own rules, even though we like you, we dare not violate these strict rules.
We are willing but unable to help!”
The two guards appeared troubled and visibly uncomfortable.
“Brothers, there’s a misunderstanding!
I ca here fully prepared, only hoping you can spare a mont to take a look at this while on duty so I can et the remarkable Daoist Wang a bit earlier and clear the doubts in my mind.”
Su Ran smoothly handed over the letter of recomndation written by the jewelry store owner to one of the tall Royal Capital guards and asked him to take a look at it.
“A recomndation letter from the original resident?
Yes, totally doable!”
The two guards nodded repeatedly, returned the letter to Su Ran, made way for him, and continued, “Young man, as a foreigner, you’re only allowed to stay in the Royal Capital for the ti it takes to burn one stick of incense, rember this.”
“My thanks to the two of you, but do you know if that elusive Daoist Wang is still in the Royal Capital?”
Su Ran casually asked.
He planned to ask where Daoist Wang’s room was once the two guards answered his question.
“Ah yes, Daoist Wang may not actually be here!”
“What?”
A sudden twist, Su Ran’s heart tightened, he quickly asked for more details.
“Well, there’s nothing to hide about this, as you’re not a stranger to us!”
The two guards glanced at each other then quietly said to Su Ran, “A few days ago, the Human Emperor obtained a construction blueprint from sowhere and on a whim, he wanted to build on a grand scale, to further upgrade the scale of the Imperial City.
This will better protect us from any foreign invasions!”
“Large-scale construction?”
Su Ran’s heart skipped a beat.
This isn’t good, the Architectural Grandmaster, the old beggar Lu Yue!
“Yes, it’s a great thing for the Imperial City!
The Human Emperor issued an order, generously spent his money, and invited countless skilled craftsn from all over to jointly construct this vibrant Imperial City of the Human Race!”
The two guards beca increasingly excited as they spoke, their hairs stood on end, and they were passionately spit-flying.
“And then?”
Su Ran kept a poker face, his voice hoarse.
He just wanted to hear that vital piece of news now!
What Imperial City, what Human Emperor, all step aside!
“However, all the craftsn invited by the Human Emperor were unable to understand that sophisticated blueprint, and this frustrated the Emperor.
That’s when Daoist Wang stepped in, suggesting that there was a master of human architecture, Lu Yue, who had been living in secret within the Imperial City!”
