Lin Feng moved out of the Guo residence but didn't leave the Capital City. Instead, he temporarily settled in an inn within the city.
He was now free of any burdens.
Having obtained an Earth Grade martial art from Gongsun Wulong, he figured it was one of the highest-level martial arts available in the novice map.
What he needed to do now was first find a way to level up, and secondly, see if he could use the remaining ti to ask Hero Guo for the last three moves of the Raging Waves Palm.
There were many places in the Capital City where one could take on tasks.
Even civilian tasks ranged from ordinary to difficult levels.
Tasks like escorting grain rchants to the outskirts of the Capital City, hunting bear and tiger skins for the tailor shop, or collecting debts for the money house.
These tasks were much more advanced than those in Seven Heroes Town, and the rewards were far more generous.
No wonder players flocked to the big cities; with such pay, who would want to stay in a poor place like Seven Heroes Town?
However, Lin Feng wasn't very interested in these tasks, mainly because they took too long.
Escorting grain back and forth would take at least four or five days, hunting bear skins required going to the mountains, and collecting debts was like searching for a needle in a haystack.
Each of these tasks would take several days to complete, and while they paid well, the experience gained was relatively low.
Of course, if there were no better tasks, they weren't bad options.
But Lin Feng was different from other players; he could freely enter and exit Departnt Six, going to the yan to cut in line for tasks anyti.
And that's exactly what Lin Feng did. He went to Departnt Six, and when Hero Guo learned of his purpose, he was very welcoming.
He even had the upcoming bailiff tasks for the next few days given to Lin Feng in advance, allowing him to choose which ones to complete first.
This kind of insider operation made Lin Feng exclaim that Hero Guo really knew how to work the system.
anwhile, other players were stuck outside, waiting in line and checking the daily tasks.
The rewards for yan tasks were generally much more generous than civilian tasks, making them highly sought after. Often, as soon as new tasks were announced each day, they would be snatched up by players.
So for these players, having a task was already good enough; they didn't dare to be picky.
In contrast, Lin Feng sat comfortably inside Departnt Six, selecting from various high-quality tasks, still finding faults with them.
Without comparison, there is no harm.
After selecting his tasks, Lin Feng didn't forget to ask Hero Guo about the remaining three moves of the Raging Waves Palm.
Hero Guo, wanting to test him, said he needed to complete three yan tasks first, and they had to be at least of difficult level.
This condition proved that there was hope of obtaining the last three moves.
Lin Feng readily accepted and imdiately picked out three tasks.
[Yan Task]: Ghost Hunting
[Task Difficulty]: Difficult
[Task Requirents]: Recently, the ho of Wealthy Gentleman Wang in the southwest of the Capital City has been haunted, with frequent deaths. Departnt Six has been investigating for days with no results due to a severe lack of manpower. They are now hiring a martial arts expert to solve the problem.
[Task Rewards]: Experience 1500 points, Small House Deed in the Capital City *1, Yellow Grade Strength Pill *1 bottle
...
[Yan Task]: Missing Girls
[Task Difficulty]: Extrely Difficult
[Task Requirents]: A series of missing girls cases have occurred thirty miles north of the Capital City in Little Yellow Village, causing panic among the villagers. Due to insufficient manpower, they are now hiring a martial arts expert to thoroughly investigate and capture the true culprit.
[Task Rewards]: Experience 4000 points, Five Taels of Gold, Yellow Grade Transmission Box *1, Profound Grade Equipnt *1
...
[Yan Task]: Capture the Southwest Three Poisons
[Task Difficulty]: Extrely Difficult
[Task Requirents]: According to reliable information, the Imperial Court's wanted criminals, the Southwest Three Poisons, have infiltrated the outskirts of the Capital City. Capture them and hand them over to Departnt Six.
[Task Rewards]: Experience 5000 points, Thirty Taels of Gold, Profound Grade Weapon *1, Profound Grade Tiger Subduing Pill *1 bottle
...
Two of the three tasks were at an extrely difficult level.
The reason Lin Feng took them was mainly because, after careful consideration, he found other difficult tasks too troubleso and ti-consuming. He just wanted to complete these tasks quickly.
Extrely difficult was for ordinary players; he was confident in his current strength.
After training for so many days, it was a good ti to test his skills.
After accepting the tasks, Lin Feng didn't rush to start them. The ghost at the Wealthy Gentleman's house was said to only appear at midnight, and it was still early. The other two tasks were outside the city.
Lin Feng temporarily exited the ga and began searching online for information about the Southwest Three Poisons.
Although he hadn't seen the Southwest Three Poisons, he believed that perhaps so players had.
Finding information in The Grand Martial World was challenging, but it was much easier online.
This was the power of modern technology; ancient people couldn't understand how powerful the internet was.
Lin Feng tried searching and was surprised to find quite a bit of information.
[The Southwest Three Poisons are damn disgusting. Once you're poisoned, you're basically done for. Everyone, be extrely careful if you encounter them!]
[I encountered them too. Two of them are Third Rate, and one is Second Rate. They're very despicable, skilled in poisoning, and will keep torturing you.]
[I was killed by those three bastards. Whoever avenges , I'll give them my motorcycle worth over fifty thousand! Just to vent my anger.]
[Previously, five players from the Elite Center arrogantly went to challenge the Southwest Three Poisons. What happened? Three died, two were injured.]
To read the uncut version, go to [p𝘢wread].
[Novice players better not provoke them, or if you must, go in a group of at least ten, and all should be at least level 20 to have a chance of defeating them.]
...
Lin Feng browsed through the information about the Southwest Three Poisons. Although he had a rough idea of their strength, he still didn't know their hiding place.
However, there was a bounty feature on the forum where you could post a reward.
Lin Feng decided to post a bounty, offering twenty taels of silver for their specific location.
The problem was, his post as a newbie didn't get much attention and was quickly buried in the sea of posts.
Lin Feng was at a loss, wondering if he should increase the bounty when there was a knock on the door.
He was puzzled about who would be awake so late.
He got up to open the door and saw Fang Zhiqiu standing there with a sycophantic smile.
Lin Feng instantly understood her little sche and teased, "So, Dr. Know-it-all, do you believe now?"
Fang Zhiqiu chuckled sheepishly and started flattering Lin Feng.
"Lin the Handso, you're amazing. Your reputation in Seven Heroes Town is really impressive. I said I was Lin Yanfeng's sister, and Constable Xing was so polite to , even personally taking to get tasks. The bailiffs all treated with respect. It's such a big deal, hahaha~"
Hearing this, Lin Feng smirked proudly, "Of course, didn't you not believe before, saying I was bragging?"
"Oh, co on, don't take it seriously. I was blind and didn't recognize Mount Tai. Young Hero Lin, please be generous. At worst, I'll wash your clothes for a week."
"That's more like it. So, what else do you want?"
Lin Feng knew this girl too well; she wouldn't co without a reason.
Fang Zhiqiu had started playing The Grand Martial World a few days ago, and she was even more obsessed than Lin Feng, choosing to commute three hours daily rather than stay at school.
Although she could stay in the dormitory, she felt her roommates would disturb her, so she preferred the daily commute.
With a pitiful look, Fang Zhiqiu pleaded, "You ntioned a master in Seven Heroes Town last ti. Who is it? I only see ordinary people."
"Is there sothing Dr. Know-it-all doesn't know?" Lin Feng teased.
"Consider blind. Just tell , please~ I've been there for three days and still haven't found the master."
Three days ago, when Fang Zhiqiu wanted to enter the ga, Lin Feng intended to guide her, but she was too proud, claiming she had studied the ga for ten years and didn't need his guidance.
Now, she had co back, humbly seeking Lin Feng's help.
