716: Chapter 654 Difficulty of Replication Increases (Two in One) _2 716: Chapter 654 Difficulty of Replication Increases (Two in One) _2 Su Ran couldn’t help but blurt out what he truly felt.
Gold and silver were common?
Let have a tonne or two to see how common they are!
“A tonne or two?”
Not just the two NPCs, even Su Ran’s friends were all stunned.
“Er, Lord City Master, please don’t judge my friend.
He’s just saying things without thinking.
He doesn’t really an it.
Please don’t take it seriously.
Hehe, hehe.”
The handso youngster gave Su Ran an annoyed look and quickly smoothed things over, afraid that this high-ranking NPC would take offense and make life difficult for them.
“Hmm.”
The City Master’s face turned a shade of green and his voice beca significantly colder.
“Sir, we don’t need a huge reward.
We just hope that you could increase our success rate of making a successful wish!”
The handso youngster said nervously, not daring to make eye contact with the City Master.
“Improving the success rate of making a wish?
This request is sowhat acceptable.”
The City Master’s tone softened considerably as he generously pulled out five red crystals and handed them to the handso youngster.
“These are Essence of Wishes.
Use them before making a wish and they will increase the success rate by 5% for three minutes!”
“Thank you, Lord City Master!”
The handso youngster was overjoyed and quickly accepted the Essence of Wishes, distributing them to his teammates.
Looking at them, Su Ran found their faces full of excitent.
He was surprised and wondered, could this Essence of Wishes be better than the Wishing Bead?
After this matter was settled, the City Master glanced over everyone and finally settled on his younger brother.
“The second task is to retrieve my Secret Realm Horn.
It’s ti for my people to return to Cloud City!”
“This…”
The younger brother hesitated and looked at Su Ran’s party, wanting to speak but stopping short.
“We are all on the sa side, speak freely.”
As the City Master, he was skilled at reading people’s expressions and was feeling sowhat uneasy about his brother’s behavior.
“Big brother, the Secret Realm Horn…
it’s been stolen by Ghost Head Three on Cloud Mountain to the east of the city!”
The younger brother sighed and seed to be filled with righteous indignation.
His fists clenched tightly, showing his unwillingness.
“Nonsense!”
The City Master was furious.
His temple veins bulged with anger.
It was clear how upset he was.
“Younger brother!
This concerns the lives of tens of thousands of citizens in the city!
How could you lose such an important item?!”
“Big brother, it’s my fault!
I was careless and was tricked by the thieves.
I was lucky enough to escape with my life, but the Secret Realm Horn was stolen…”
With a thud, the younger brother fell to his knees and started slapping himself with a loud thwack.
Seeing this, the handso youngster and his team no longer felt at ease and quickly moved away, automatically going silent.
They worried about getting caught up in the chaos.
“Humph!”
The City Master coldly watched his younger brother slap himself until his cheeks were swollen and red before he spoke,”Enough!
Look at this sorry state of yours!
Even killing you wouldn’t make up for this loss!
Get out and bring in my third brother!”
“Third brother is in the middle of a critical stage of ditation.
If we disturb him now, at best, his cultivation will go astray, at worst, he could lose his life!”
The younger brother’s face looked serious when he said this, though his chubby cheeks made it appear comical.
“Damn it, I don’t have enough soldiers at this crucial mont!
Let’s go, you’ll co with to Cloud Ghost Village.
I want to see what kind of guts Ghost Head Three has to dare to oppose Cloud City!”
The City Master roared, his voice thunderous, like Wild Thunder.
“Yes!
With big brother leading the way, we will surely return victorious!”
Excited, the younger brother pulled out his axes, eager to follow his elder brother’s commands.
However, just then, the handso youngster boldly walked over, bypassed the younger brother’s axes and stood before the City Master, offering his service, “Lord City Master, my adventure team and I are willing to undertake this task!”
“You…”
The City Chief hesitated, his brow furrowed, “The Cloud Ghost Village is ho to 130 bandits, with the ringleader, Ghost Three, possessing high-ranking strength.
This isn’t a ga!
It could be a matter of life and death!”
“What nonsense!
Your hasty actions will only alert Ghost Three, causing us to miss our opportunity to attack!
You can’t afford the consequences of such a mistake!
Get back to where you ca from!”
Suddenly, the pent-up emotions of the second-in-command burst out, especially the rage that had been built up from previous self-flagellation, focused completely on the newcor.
“Hey, you have so thick skin!
It’s clear that you were the one who lost the Secret Realm Horn, and now you’re blaming us for missing the chance to attack.
You take our good intentions for granted, it’s infuriating!
According to you, we can’t afford such a mistake, but how will you answer for your enormous mistake?”
Su Ran swiftly stepped forward, standing alongside the newcor, unafraid of the power of the second-in-command, speaking plainly.
“Overturning Water!”
The newcor quickly made a signal to Su Ran, but he ignored it, giving no quarter.
As for Youtong, Gu Yue, and Big Smoke Ghost who were in the corner, they were sweating nervously for Su Ran.
Why did this guy have such a straightforward personality?
He even dared to confront the NPCs directly, was it worth it?!
Under a normal dungeon clearing process, the City Chief would have given the task of retrieving the Secret Realm Horn to the newcor after a mont of hesitation.
But Overturning Water’s interruption could provoke the NPC’s anger!
As for the task, even if given, it might be of the highest difficulty…
Overturning Water, you’ve gotten us into big trouble!!!
“You!”
The second-in-command glared at Su Ran, unable to rebut but standing awkwardly on the spot, grinding his axe in his hand.
If it weren’t for the City Chief being present, he would have struck him down imdiately.
The tense atmosphere pervaded the whole room, the air suddenly quieted down, so quiet you could hear a needle drop.
“Second-in-command, shut up!”
At this mont, the City Chief broke the awkward silence, looking at his deputy and rebuking him, “Put away your axe, apologize to these friends!
These adventurers have the people of Cloud City’s safety at heart, not here to clean up your ss!”
“Sor…sorry!”
Under the pressure of the City Chief, the second-in-command put away his axe, swallowed his rage, and forced the words out.
Then, he quickly shot Su Ran a threatening look and retreated from the room.
Everything was under Su Ran’s observant eyes, he took a few more looks at the second-in-command, then silently returned his gaze.
“Don’t mind my deputy, he’s always like this.
Give him so ti and he’ll calm down.”
The City Chief didn’t stop the second-in-command from leaving.
Instead, he looked at the newcor with kind eyes, “Fellows, the third is in closed-door cultivation, in need of a guardian.
Second-in-command and I can’t make it.
Would you mind eting Ghost Three for ?”
“We are willing!”
The newcor imdiately responded, her expression excited.
She didn’t even dare to dream that they could get the mission smoothly after being stirred by Overturning Water.
With the situation previously, it was already good that no fight had started!
If they did a dungeon run without a task, it would be almost equivalent to failure…
“Ding!
Congratulations to the newcor’s team for receiving the mission of defeating Ghost Three and retrieving the Secret Realm Horn.
The mission ti is 24 hours; the mission completion reward is a Silver Treasure Chest; the mission failure penalty is -5% to all attributes, lasting for one month.”
Every mber of the newcor’s team received a mission prompt, including Su Ran.
“Darn it, why does this mission co with a failure penalty?
As I expected, the difficulty of the mission has increased…”
Big Smoke Ghost sighed in the team channel, looking rather downcast.
“Oh co on, didn’t you see the mission reward has increased?
We each get a Silver Treasure Chest, aren’t you satisfied!”
Youtong retorted imdiately, her tone extrely unfriendly.
“I’m sorry everyone, it’s all my fault.
I was too impulsive.”
Su Ran began to speak, shouldering all the responsibility gallantly.
“It’s okay, it’s okay, that NPC deserved to be scolded.
A more difficult task ans nothing, the reward has also increased significantly!”
As the team leader, the newcor ca to Su Ran’s defense, “Besides, Overturning Water was standing up for just now, he’s not at fault!
Big Smoke Ghost, as the man of our team, you didn’t even know to protect , I’m taking note of this!”
“…”
Big Smoke Ghost instantly went silent.
