Chapter 430: Wealthy Individual

"Countryside quest?" Wang Yu momentarily understood the instant Lone Vagrant Guest said that.

In <>, the NPCs in the city were not the only ones to give out quests. Many NPCs in the countryside had quests to give out too. Furthermore, the rewards of the quests given out by NPCs outside the city were, in fact, better than those in the city. For example, quests that reward legendary and ancient grades equipment were mostly given out by countryside NPCs.

Because of this, there were many players in <> who would be obsessed to run out of the city to find these countryside NPCs.

As much as the rewards from countryside NPC were lucrative, the quests weren’t easy to complete. This was because, within the city, NPC would only provide the quest when players had satisfied the conditions for the quests. However, NPC outside the city wouldn’t have such consideration. As long as you dared to ask for a quest, he would dare to give it to you regardless of your level and strength.

Vainglory, the unfortunate man, coincidentally met a NPC called the "Treasure Explorer" while doing his weapons quest. This fella was extremely daring to ask Vainglory to steal the Dragon Emperor’s treasure at Dragon Island... Vainglory was careless as he accepted the quest. Without mentioning how the Dragon Race’s impression of him would decrease, failing the quest would also deduct quite some fame.

Moreover, as long as the quests given out by the countryside NPCs were not completed, anyone else could choose to accept it. This meant that even if you chose to accept the quest and managed to collect the Quest Good, you might not be the one to complete the quest eventually.

The designer of <> was simply out to make things difficult for gamers. Therefore, it was no longer a surprise that a level 20 Thief was told to head towards a level 50 monster zone.

At the thought of this, Wang Yu advised him out of good will, "Dusk Peak is filled with level 50 monsters. Given your capability now, I doubt you can survive so I advice that you head back now."

Lone Vagrant Guest replied with some disappointment, "Oh, then in this case, can you help me with the quest?"

"Me?" Wang Yu asked inconceivably, "Are you not afraid that I might steal your quest?"

Because there was no limit to the number of people who could accept incomplete quests from countryside NPC, Quest Good could still drop. For example, Wang Yu could kill Lone Vagrant Guest after helping him with the quest. Once the Quest Good dropped, Wang Yu could pick it up to exchange a quest from the NPC who was giving out quests.

No matter how ruthless someone was in the game, the person wouldn’t be held responsible for committing a crime like this. Therefore, there were actually people doing things like this. When people accept a countryside quest like this, they would usually get their closest family member or friends to help out with their quest. This Thief was actually daring enough to ask a stranger like Wang Yu to help him complete his quest.

Lone Vagrant Guest replied, "You are a Pugilist and the reward for my quest is a skill for Thieves so you wouldn’t have any use for it."

"I can sell it ah." Wang Yu answered.

"Hmm... Did you not know rewards from countryside quest are bounded?" A surprised Lone Vagrant Guest questioned.

One cannot drop or trade bounded items.

This was because every countryside quest was unique and every reward from the countryside quest would be unique too. Completing countryside quest would be a unique accomplishment which was why the rewards would be bounded. Previously, the guild treasure, which Quan Zhen Sect received from completing the countryside quest, was also a bounded treasure.

Of course, the Quest Good would not be bounded so it was still possible to sell Quest Good. However, because gamers couldn’t tell what was the reward for the quest, they wouldn’t know how to tag a price to the Quest Good. Therefore, because of the huge limitations, nobody would be willing to work hard for something that might be unrewarding.

Wang Yu was a person who could even farm monsters which were more than 15 levels higher than him. Despite being able to do so, he was actually unaware of such basic knowledge which was why Lone Vagrant Guest was so shocked.

"F*ck... Bounded? So this is the case..." Wang Yu pondered to himself before continuing, "Young brother, why did you think that I will help you?"

"Because you’re an expert and I have money." Lone Vagrant Guest spoke very confidently.

"Haha," Wang Yu laughed, "How much are you willing to fork out?"

"500 gold!" Lone Vagrant Guest replied, "How is it?"

Wang Yu was slightly taken aback as he exclaimed, "500 gold? You are really not lacking in money right?"

In <>, the exchange rate of gold to Chinese Yuan was 1:100. Currently, people could only exchange Chinese Yuan for gold and not the other way round. Therefore, the cheapest rate offered by online studios was 1:80 and 500 gold would then equate to 40,000 Chinese Yuan.

Presently, any gamer with a few hundred gold on hand would be considered middle-class gamers. Wang Yu couldn’t believe that this Thief was actually offering 500 gold for others to help with his quest. Evidently, this fella was indeed wealthy and it was no wonder he would advertise himself as a rich person in his introduction.

"If you can successfully help me complete this quest, I will give you an additional 200 gold." Lone Vagrant Guest added.

"Alright, we have a deal." Wang Yu agreed excitedly.

"This is our contract." Lone Vagrant Guest casually took out a piece of the contract to hand it to Wang Yu. Looking at the way he fished out his contract and handed it to Wang Yu, one could tell that he was highly experienced. It seemed like this wasn’t the first few times he offered money for someone else to complete his quest.

After looking through the contract once, Wang Yu clicked on ’confirm’ and the contract turned into a white radiance. Simultaneously, an additional shared quest appeared on Wang Yu’s quest list.

The Assassin’s Cheat Code: Head to Sunset Peak 7421.2145 to retrieve the dagger left behind by the Assassin. Quest Grade: A, Quest Reward: Rare Assassin’s Skill x1.

Without considering those level 50 monsters at the Sunset Peak, this quest could be considered relatively simple. Even though looking for a small dagger in the mountains might sound very frightening, the game provided the coordinates for the location of the dagger. Hence, everything became much easier.

"Wait for me here, I will retrieve it for you." After reading the description of the quest, Wang Yu told Lone Vagrant Guest.

The monsters in the Sunset Peak were simply too strong. Instead of dragging a cumbersome Lone Vagrant Guest along, Wang Yu would rather he rush up by himself to retrieve the dagger.

"No..." Lone Vagrant Guest shook his head before reaching out his arm, "That dagger has a seal and I am the only one capable of retrieving it."

Wang Yu lowered his head and indeed, there was a hexagram imprinted on the arm of Lone Vagrant Guest. It seemed like even the system had thought of the possibility of people using this method to cheat. This way, this quest really did become much harder than Wang Yu first thought.

After all, it was already problematic enough for him to fight all those monsters. Now, he even needed to take care of Lone Vagrant Guest. Regardless of how strong Wang Yu was, he couldn’t possibly take care of everything himself.

"Now this is tricky. When you accept the quest, did the NPC give you any special tools?" Wang Yu questioned Lone Vagrant Guest.

For quests like this, the NPC would usually provide a few tools for the gamer. Even if they didn’t provide any tools, they would usually divulge some guides to complete the quest too.

Lone Vagrant Guest pondered for a moment before replying, "Tools? He didn’t give me any... However, the NPC did tell me that he escaped from the back of the mountain when the great calamity struck Dusk Peak back then."

"Back of the mountain?"

"Correct!" Lone Vagrant Guest nodded.

"En, then let’s take a look there."

In <>, every word of the NPC could be a point of penetration for the quest. Since that NPC specifically mentioned about escaping from the back of the mountain, this could mean that the key to this quest could be the back of the mountain.

However, Wang Yu still had this premonition that this quest would definitely not be as simple as it seemed. This was because the NPC didn’t just mention the back of the mountain. He also mentioned the great calamity.
