It was rare to see a Loli Warrior with such outstanding physical characteristics in either the game or real life. She was none other than Little Warrior whom Chen Mo had stumbled into twice. However, for some reason, she had only decided to attempt the Trial of Innate Talents now, and she was not wearing any equipment even though she had chosen to take on the Hell difficulty.
Little Warrior looked around her with her adorable, big black eyes when she entered the room. She fearlessly glanced at the Players that were staring at her.
She was initially thinking of going up to the Players to ask if they were willing to let her join their parties. However, after seeing their reactions, she went to a corner in disappointment and sat down while hugging her knees. She did not think anyone would be willing to invite her to their party.
“Little girl, do you want to join my party?”
Two guys with malicious intents came up to Little Warrior and looked up and down at her tender pale skin under her cloth armor.
“Irritating jerks, be gone!” Little Warrior grunted. Her crisp voice echoed in the room.
“Humph, what a waste of our time, you’re done for when the trial starts!”
The others looked at them. The two guys blurted out harshly and left after noticing the unfriendly looks from the rest of the Players.
…
In the Slime Valley, a figure slowly appeared in a corner with no sign of Players or monsters.
Chen Mo had returned to the game after three days.
“It’s been three days, I can finally unequip this…”
Chen Mo was planning to unequip the dangerous title “The Heinous” as soon as he logged into the game.
However, he was shocked when the System Notification popped up.
System Notification: Your actions in the game have helped the game to improve. You have received a special reward from the system!
System Notification: You have obtained a piece of special equipment “The Seed of Hope”!
Seed of Hope
Description: A unique equipment from an unknown source. It was extremely rare. Untradeable, bound to character.
Quality: A rare special equipment
Requirement: Level 10 and above
Attributes:
Relationship with all races +10
Reputation among all races +100
Luck +3
Range of vision at night +20 meters
**Additional Skill(**s): Teleport, Light of Hope
Teleport: Consumes a certain amount of energy to teleport the Player to certain cities or the Player’s buddies. The energy required depends on the destination and the distance.
Light of Hope: Consumes all energy to increase Player’s Luck for five seconds. Only usable when energy is above 1000. The increase in Luck is directly proportional to the amount of energy that is consumed.
Energy: 0 (obtainable from killing monsters with the same or higher level as the Player)
Chen Mo’s eyes widened after reading the System Notification. He looked at the green seed inside his inventory.
Such a sudden and unexpected fortune!
Chen Mo was a little dumbfounded.
He did not expect the system to reward him just because he had put the system to freeze for just over a second three days ago, not to mention how insane the reward was!
Each Player could equip five defensive equipment, three accessories, and a weapon. Apart from the nine types of equipment, each Player could also equip three special equipment.
These special equipments would not directly grant Players extra attributes, but some supportive attributes that might be useful for the Players on certain occasions.
For example, the range of a Player’s vision at night.
In Rookies Village, Players would not struggle too much in the wild at night since their range of vision was still enough. However, once they reached the three main cities, if they went out at night when the moon was shrouded by the clouds or they went to places where the moonlight could not reach, they would find themselves in pitch-black darkness. The range of vision at night would come in handy in situations like these.
Only special equipment would grant Players an extra range of vision at night. There were ways of obtaining special equipment that would increase a Player’s range of vision at night from the three main cities, but most of them would only increase a Player’s range of vision at night by 5 meters.
Chen Mo had never been to the three main cities, but he had spent most of his time browsing the forum when he did not play the game for three days. He had read some information about the special equipment on the forum.
Currently, not many Players had special equipment with +5 to their range of vision at night. Some lucky Players did acquire special equipment with +10 to their range of vision at night. When these Players took a screenshot of the equipment and posted it on the forum, a lot of Players immediately expressed their envy.
However, these special equipment that many Players were utterly impressed of were complete garbage compared to the Seed of Hope!
20 meters, double the range of vision at night!
It was only one of the extra attributes from the Seed of Hope, and it was not even the best thing about it!
Most of the special equipment that other Players had found only had one attribute. Those with two attributes were enough to arouse jealousy. The row of attributes from the Seed of Hope was enough to dazzle the eyes of a Player!
Chen Mo was not familiar with the benefits of the addition to his relationship with all races, his reputation among all races, and Luck, but the skill Teleport alone was surely enough to gather other Players’ attention.
Some Players on the forum did find special equipment that could teleport them, but not only was these special equipments extremely rare, but they could also only teleport a Player to the cities unlike the Seed of Hope!
As for the skill Light of Hope, Chen Mo was still unsure of its uses since he had not used it. However, judging from the name of the skill that was closely related to the special equipment’s name, he strongly believed it would be extremely useful to him!
“I’m running out of time, I should return to Aiur Town at once.”
Chen Mo admired the Seed of Hope for a little longer and equipped the impressive special equipment. He made his way to Aiur Town at full speed.
In the past three days, the group planning to challenge the Trial of Innate Talents at the Hell difficulty had almost gathered sixty-four Players as requested. They just needed to fill a few more spots.
…
“Another one, just three more now!”
Another Player showed up in the room for the Trial of Innate Talents after a brief flash.
“Why…why does he look so familiar?” Wang Xu looked at the person. Somehow, the person felt a little familiar to him.
The person was none other than Chen Mo. Wang Xu had met Chen Mo in real life before, thus if he could see Chen Mo’s in-game nickname, he would immediately figure out that the person was Chen Mo.
“Big brother, it’s you!” Little Warrior recognized Chen Mo right away. Her eyes glittered as she greeted Chen Mo happily.
“Why are you here too?”
No one could ever forget Little Warrior after seeing her for the first time. Chen Mo walked up to Little Warrior and asked curiously.
The Loli Warrior should have reached Level 10 long ago, yet why did she only take the Trial of Innate Talents now, not to mention that she was challenging the highest difficulty.
She was no doubt courting her death by taking the Trial of Innate Talents at the Hell difficulty, similar to her reckless move of jumping into the pit to fight the Mutated Slime King the other day.
“I have a quest that asked me to pass the Trial of Innate Talents at the Hell difficulty,” Little Warrior said gloomily.
“There’s a quest like that in Aiur Town?” Chen Mo raised his brows. He had been browsing the forum for the past three days, yet he had not seen anyone mentioning a quest like that.
“There is, I’ve completed all the quests in Aiur Town. When I can no longer receive any quests from the NPCs, I went to the village chief, Solo. He gave me this “Impossible Quest” that asks me to complete the Trial of Innate Talents at the Hell difficulty without wearing any equipment. However, after accepting the quest, I can keep attempting the Trial of Innate Talents without any restrictions. I’ve tried it more than ten times, but I have failed all of them. It’s too difficult,” Little Warrior said.
Chen Mo was dumbfounded after hearing Little Warrior’s explanation.
Some Players on the forum did say they were interested in completing all the quests in Rookies Village like Little Warrior, and many among them claimed that they had completed every quest in Rookies Village. They could no longer receive any quest from the NPCs in Rookies Village, but none of them mentioned anything about the “Impossible Quest” that Little Warrior told him.
It was most likely that the Players did not really complete all the quests in Rookies Village, but Little Warrior had completed all them, thus allowing her to receive the ultimate quest of Rookies Village from the village chief, Solo!
“Are you able to share the quest with me?” Chen Mo quickly asked.
He had already learned that no quest was impossible in the game from his experience. Therefore, it was possible to complete the quest that Little Warrior had received too.
However, it was obviously impossible for anyone to pass the Trial of Innate Talents on the Hell difficulty, which meant she would have to rely on teammates to complete her quest. She should be able to share the quest with other Players!
