Chapter 159: The Fourth Natural Disaster
Chu Weiwei stood in front of the mirror and looked at her appearance.
She wore a very close-fitting flying suit with an embroidered spring saber hanging at her waist.
She looked valiant.
However, her heart ached endlessly!
That was because she needed to use nightmare points to buy the flying suit and embroidered spring saber!
Moreover, because she was a Baihu ranked Guard, she had to buy a silver high-grade flying fish costume and embroidered spring saber.
Just like that, she had spent 2,000 hp!
That was also because she was a Baihu ranked guard of the Brocade-clan Guard, so she had received a 50% discount!
However, the flying suit and embroidered spring saber did not provide any attribute bonuses.
The Flying suit only gave a special effect to ward off evil spirits and drive away evil spirits.
The embroidered spring saber was only sharp + 2!
The key was that these two items could not be brought out of this nightmare world!
In other words, she had spent 2,000 hp just to looka t it.
But she was still considered lucky.
The other nightmare game partic.i.p.ants had to spend the same nightmare points as her to buy a set of low-grade silver flying fish uniforms and spring embroidery saber.
They had to buy it!
Because of the Realm of Nightmare’s notification: If you don’t have the flying suit and spring embroidery saber, you will not be regarded as a member of the Brocade-clan Guards.
There was no other way. Everyone could only hand out the points.
“I have to rush to Beian village as soon as possible!” Chu Weiwei pulled out her nightmare equipment pane and looked at her nightmare point balance. There were less than 23,000 points left.
At most, she could stay in this nightmare world for 23 hours!
She didn’t have so many points.
However, the previous nightmare world did not only allow her nightmare milestone to advance to gold!
That two-headed weirdo even gave her a few pieces of equipment.
Among them was a low-grade gold-grade magic tool!
Chu Weiwei did not need that thing and sold it in the Nightmare Square before she came.
She received a huge sum of 45,000 hp.
Then, before entering this nightmare world, she strengthened her strength, endurance, and Vigor to 16!
This directly reduced her nightmare points by 20,000 hp!
Then, she spent a few thousand hp to buy a large number of nightmare potions and Nightmare Talismans.
She just used another 2,000 hp to exchange for this outfit!
Therefore, she only had less than 23,000 hp left.
Therefore, she walked out of the door and was about to inquire about how to leave this place and head to Beian village.
A Brocade-clan Guard found her and said to her, “Chu Baihu! We just received news that something happened in Beian village north of Zhang Hong’s Country last night!”
“I hope you can lead a team to investigate!”
Chu Weiwei’s nightmare imprint immediately prompted her: Zhang Hongzhi’s Qianhu ranked Brocade-clan Guard, Ma Qianbiao, has issued you a nightmare straight-line mission. Head to Beian village. Will you accept it?
Chu Weiwei immediately chose to accept and said to the Qianhu ranked officer of the Brocade-clan Guard, Ma Qianbao, “Your subordinate is willing to go!”
“Good!” Ma Qianhu said happily, “I have already prepared a carriage and accompanying agents for you. Guard Chu of the Baihu rank set off immediately!”
As he said that, he stuffed a doc.u.ment into Chu Weiwei’s hands. “This is the relevant information about Beian Village!”
Chu Weiwei was brought out of the building under the envious and jealous gazes of the other nightmare game partic.i.p.ants. They could not leave the Commander-in-Chief’s office yet!
That was because they still needed to register!
They would need at least an hour to complete these procedures!
Before these procedures were completed, they could not leave this place. Otherwise, they would be treated as spies and executed by the experts of the Brocade-clan Guard!
..
Sitting in the carriage, Chu Weiwei looked at the information that the Qianhu ranked Guard of had just handed over.
That was a very simple doc.u.ment. It recorded the population and related data of the village called Beian Village.
Looking at the records, the village was tens of miles away from the so-called Zhang Hong City.
There were more than thirty households in the village, and the main economy depended on agriculture and Mulberry Fields.
Therefore, there was a Brocade-clan Guard with the rank Xiaoqi, who was in charge of patrolling, supervising the illegal activities, and eliminating the evildoers.
However, yesterday afternoon, Zhang Hong city’s Brocade-clan Guard received reports one after another. The Xiaoqi ranked officer of the Brocade-clan Guard, who was originally sent to take over, had yet to arrive. The original Xiaoqi ranked officer of the Brocade-clan Guard, Chu Xi, suddenly went crazy and attacked the villagers, killing several people. He then escaped into the mulberry forest outside the village.
The entire village’s people were scared out of their wits. Many people fled back to Zhang Hong City overnight.
Someone reported that a monster had been found on the road.
Therefore, her mission was to go to Beian village to investigate the incident.
Then, she would return to report!
However…
Chu Weiwei closed the doc.u.ment. She lifted the curtain of the car and looked at the road outside the window.
It was already morning.
However, the outside world was still shrouded in mist.
Although the sun could be seen above her head, it was still a grey shadow blocking the sight.
When Chu Weiwei was changing, she had used her status and privilege to read two books from the Qianhu ranked officer’s study.
One was called the Brocade-clan Guard’s public security record, and the other was called the chronicle of Zhang Hong’s country.
These two books were both large volumes, so Chu Weiwei could only briefly browse through a portion of them.
But she still received a huge amount of information!
That was because she had already discovered that the so-called Zhang Hong’s history was very short!
Although their doc.u.ments and archives easily recorded: Yongli 3XX years.
But in reality, the first accurate written record appeared in Yongli for 152 years.
More than 200 years ago!
In real-time, it was around the time of the recovery of psionic energy.
And the of the Brocade-clan Guard of Zhang Hong’s country also appeared out of thin air at that time.
It was as if they appeared in this world overnight.
There were cities, villages, roads, ca.n.a.ls…
There were also monsters…
And they even knew how to inject Blood of the Wind Hunters to fight against monsters!
But no one knew or asked why.
It was as if the people of this world had ignored these things.
Other than these, Chu Weiwei’s biggest gain was that she found out the name of the first commander of the Brocade-clan Guard in Zhang Hong’s country, Ma Jinzhong!
That was a great general who deserved to enjoy the honor of Yizu!
He has also conferred the t.i.tle of a great general, who was loyal to the country!
Chu Weiwei’s frowned even more when she recalled the hint she received before entering this nightmare world.
“Everything in this world is just like its appearance, shrouded in fog!” She said, “Hopefully, we can find some clues in Beian Village!”
… … … ..
“Big Brother!” Ah Ning followed Ling Pingan into the quiet village and asked, “Why are all the uncles missing?”
“Ah Hua and Ah Huang are also missing…”
Ling Pingan could only comfort her, “Ah Ning, the uncles have gone to work with your parents…”
“Hmm, Ah Hua and Ah Huang should have been taken away by them too!”
Just now, he received a notification from the nightmare game. It said that because he had completed his duties, he had become the Brocade-clan Patrol Guard of Beian village.
At the same time, because he had already taken up an official position, he had activated the ‘mission distribution system’.
Right now, Ling Pingan was fiddling with this so-called mission distribution system.
A floating box appeared in front of him.
He could fill in the mission content in the floating box and give the mission a t.i.tle.
Then, he would distribute it to other players.
However, because his current official position was only a secondary ninth rank, he could only release quests with rewards below 500 hp.
Moreover, he had to be restricted by the game system, so he could only release quests related to Beian village.
Next to the floating box, there was a line of words: Dear player, quickly promote your official position in Zhang Hong Country, and you can obtain more quest privileges!
Ling Pingan looked at the text and pursed his lips. “Isn’t this encouraging me to think of ways to promote my official position?”
But the problem was…
How was the official position in Zhang Hong Country promoted?
That made Ling Pingan confused.
In addition to the floating frame, he also activated the authority called Resurrection Point.
He could set up a resurrection point in the Beian village.
It was provided to the players who did quests for him.
As long as the player accepted the quest, those who died in the process of completing the quest could be resurrected through the resurrection point that he set up.
Moreover, Ling Pingan also had the right to refuse certain or a few specific players to resurrect through his resurrection point!
Ling Pingan was out there to set up a resurrection point right now.
After searching for a long time, he still couldn’t find a suitable place to set up a resurrection point.
Finally, he was in a place that looked like an ancestral hall when he received a notification: You can set up your resurrection point here.
He hurriedly clicked to confirm.
Thus, a bright cursor that only he could see appeared in front of him.
The cursor slowly unfolded and turned into a woman with light wings and a long halberd.
“The Feather Man!” Ling Pingan looked at it and laughed.
Because he had favor for a certain subject, he studied humanities in his university.
It was also because of this that he had many foreign cla.s.smates. Humanities were the easiest major to apply for in the Federal Empire, and it was also the major with the most foreign students.
The Ministry of Education of the Federal Empire had special funding every year to support the humanities and Arts departments of various universities to recruit foreign students.
The rewards were especially good!
If a foreigner wanted to apply to study in the Federal Empire, humanities and Arts were the best way!
The pa.s.s rate was almost 100%, and they could also enjoy tuition discounts.
Those with outstanding results would also receive generous scholarships. That scholarship was enough for him to live a comfortable life in the Federal Empire!
Therefore, Ling Pingan recognized the man of light at a glance as the common Feather Man in the Qin and Han tombs!
The so-called Feather man was an ancient immortal!
The idiom “Feather man becomes a flying immortal” referred to the process of a person shedding their mortal body and growing wings through cultivation, becoming immortal and indestructible.
Therefore, in the mythical grade of Qin and Han, the Feather man symbolized immortality.
The emperors and generals loved it!
Therefore, the murals of the Feather man were everywhere in their tombs.
Ling Pingan walked in front of the figure of light and reached out to touch the wings in light. Then, he obtained the data of this resurrection point: Beian Village Resurrection Point.
It can contain five people!
A maximum number of resurrections: 10!
Points required for each resurrection: 500/1000/2000/4000…
Dear player, you can increase your official position to obtain more resurrections and Resurrection Authority!
Note: As the quest publisher, you can obtain the profits from resurrections (every time a player resurrects from your Resurrection Point, you will receive 20% of the system’s rebates!)
Ling Pingan looked at the data and laughed. “As expected, even if I play the new mode…”
“The game officials are still using me as a guinea pig!”
“They are doing a new test…”
Thinking about it carefully, it was understandable. Wasn’t the novel about the Fourth Natural Disaster very popular recently?
Perhaps the official officials of the legend of Nightmare wanted to see if the real fourth Natural Disaster’s game mode would be popular?
With this thought in mind, Ling Pingan felt relieved.
At that moment, the sound of a carriage came from outside the village.
It seemed that a carriage had stopped at the entrance of the village.
Ling Pingan turned his head and saw a familiar figure jump out of the carriage.
“The lucky one… Chu Weiwei…” he smiled. “We meet again!”
“But…” he licked his lips. “I’m not as innocent as the lucky one!”
Using her real-life image to play the game…
The lucky one might have not experienced any defeats yet!
Ling Pingan was different. He definitely wouldn’t use his real-life image!
Of course, that was also related to his face blindness!
He couldn’t differentiate between beauty and ugliness.
Therefore, when he creates a character, he did as he pleased.
This time, he simply used the descent mode!
He was using the dungeon character in this game!
Just like a real game character, he had the authority to issue quests and set up resurrection points for his HP at the moment!
Looking at the lucky one walking into the village, Ling Pingan wanted to tease her, so he entered a quest t.i.tle in the quest box and wrote down the content of the quest.
He then smiled and approached her.
