1493 Gorgeous Sifu (1/2)
”So, you know that the portal is the only way to travel from earth to Northern Wilderness Starfield! That's why one has to first fix the portal for South Town Start Temple to regain its purpose! Otherwise, it will be pointless for you to take possession of it!”
”Alright. I understand now. I'm willing to take this quest! How much are you going to give me if I do this job? How many people are going to assist me? This is a really huge project! I don't think I can do it alone!”
”I need you to do it alone! I will not give you any Spiritual Stones or assign anyone to help you! And you have a time limit to complete this quest! You must complete this quest within a month! Failing to do so will result in failing the quest!”
”What? No Spiritual Stones and no help?! And there is a one month time limit? My lord, are you kidding me? I will need more than a month to travel to earth even with the fastest spaceship, let alone fixing the portal with such a short amount of time!”
”I'm not kidding you! This is supposed to be a challenging quest! If I provide you with resources and manpower and set no time limit, I can ask anyone to do it! So, why should I ask you?”
With a frown on his face, Chen Xiaobei realized that the overlord was not a person that was easy to deal with. Clearly, this quest was harder than asking him to rescue Linghu Shuang. Apart from that, there was actually a hidden risk in this quest.
”My lord, how are you planning to deal with Lu Gang and the rest of the South Town Star Temple members?”
”You know that the portal is not functioning right now! Lu Gang and the rest of them are forced to stay on earth. There's nothing I can do about them!”
”So, are you trying to ask me to fix the portal and deal with Lu Gang and the gang after that?”
”The fight is unavoidable, and you know it! Lu Gang hates you a lot! He will not agree to it if he knows that you are going replace him!”
”My lord, are you trying to mess with me or test me? You know that a huge fight will break out the moment I meet up with Lu Gang!”
”Well, what's the point for me to give you power if you can't deal with matters like this?! You will fall from the throne before you know it!”
After hearing the overlord's reason, Chen Xiaobei realized that it actually made sense to him. One should know that there were a lot of factions that tried to take over South Town Star Temple. He would need to expect trouble if he took over South Town Star Temple. However, if Chen Xiaobei managed to kill Lu Gang and the rest of them, he would be able to put fear into other factions and thus, no one would dare to mess with him!
”Alright! I willm do my best then! I really hope that I can finish this quest!”
”Great! I know that you are one worthy man! Time is of the essence! I'm not going to keep you here! I hope that I can hear good news after one month!”
”Hold on! I have one more thing that I want to ask. It's about the elite hunting competition! Though an unexpected event happened, I think that I'm worthy to be first! I would like to ask for the reward from you!”
”Are you talking about Golden Purple Echeveria Lola? I will hand it over to you personally if you manage to complete this quest one month later! It will be pointless for me to give it to you right now!”
In other words, Chen Xiaobei had to survive this quest no matter what. With him dead, the Golden Purple Echeveria Lola would be pointless to him.
”Fine! One month it is then! We will talk about it one month later!”
