Chapter 17 : Asymptotic
"Sleep..."
After running his territory for several days, Wu Ming was enjoying himself in the decadent life a feudal lord.
He practiced martial art and was physically strong. He naturally had no feeling of fatigue.
In addition, the only thing he has done is something good, such as reducing rent and interest rates. Naturally,he has a golden mouth. As for the deliberate non-payment of rent and of debt and the kinds of goods such as pork chop meat, Steward Wu"s henchman would deal with these, which is eye-opening.
At this time, he returned his residence and after a rest, called two maids to ma.s.sage and relax his muscles. These two maids were accustomed to serving people. At this time, they wanted to fly on the branches and become phoenixes. With the technique of bottom pressure, Wu Ming felt four little soft hands pressing meticulously and his bones and muscles became numb.
"Comfortable, safe and cozy life..."
Wu Ming"s eyes narrowed and his heart secretly thought : "If it wasn"t for the mission of the OverG.o.d Palace, I"m afraid that I already fallen."
From frugality to luxury, from extravagance to martyrdom. Even if there"s ambition, with such a comfortable life, it is easy to kill people"s desire to improve.
"Speaking of which... there seems to be a gap between missions by the OverG.o.d Palace and it"s a good thing ! Just... it should be faster !"
[Ding !]
Just as it was late, it was just as fast. Just as Wu Ming was prepared to go to the two maids for a good time, the voice of the OverG.o.d Palace sounded directly in his mind, leaving him with no thoughts.
"You all go down !"
The two daughters of a humble family had a trace of sorrow on their faces but Wu Ming"s face was solemn, interpreting the news inside his mind.
[Respected OverG.o.d Apostle ! No. GS-69 Reincarnator, your Mission will start in three days, please be prepared !]
The sound of the OverG.o.d Palace was flat, mechanical and majestic.
"It finally came !"
Wu Ming clenched his palm.
"View detailed mission information !"
Anyways, wasn"t the act of saving so many Minor Merits was just for this ?
Being an ordinary Reincarnator means that you"re the one who the OverG.o.d Palace brutally and rudely pull with no preparations at all for the Mission and can only arm yourself carefully at the start and improve as much as possible.
But Wu Ming was different !
With the privilege of knowing the information in advance so that he could exchange items and strengthen himself in a specific manner. At this time, the effect of 100 Minor Merits would be equivalent to other Reincarnators" 1000 Minor Merits !
[No. GS-69 Reincarnator, you will start the instance three days later !]
[World Size : Medium Instance !]
[Mission Difficulty : Flood !]
[Main Quest Description : ....]
Wu Ming"s face was solemn and didn"t let go of any word.
After a long time, a smile finally appeared on his face : "Fortunately... it doesn"t look like it increases the difficulty because of I"m the OverG.o.d Apostle..."
The difficulty level, along with the description of "Flood", is generally understood by Wu Ming.
The entire OverG.o.d Palace should be from top to bottom : Heaven, Earth, Profound, Yellow, Universe, Eon, Flood and Desolate. The last Instance Mission was the easiest Desolate level and now, it"s one level higher.
整个主神殿的任务级别，应该是从上到下，按照天地玄黄、宇宙洪荒的规律依次排列，他上次经历的新手副本任务，便是最为容易的荒级，此时不过上调一级而已。(Is the ranking correct ?)
"But I can"t say for sure how difficult it becomes after one leap in level. It"s a matter of life and death so it doesn"t hurt to be too careful."
Wu Ming"s eyes flickered and fell into deep thought.
....
At the same time.
Two sneaky shadows came to the outside of the fort.
"This is the Wu Family Fort ? That is some weather !"
A man wearing a daoist robe, under the night, whose eyes looked like smoldering flame which was daunting : "It"s just such a foundation. How can it support the rise of a True Inheritance ? I can"t figure it out !"
"Oh... People are lives that support the skies and naturally have their own luck, what is the relation of Yangshang Fengshui ?"
“嘿嘿……人家是天生命格，自带大运地气，与阳宅风水又有什么关系了？”
The other person sneers and seems a little worried : "If I want to do this, the relation will not be small but I should be careful not to end up bitten by a snake..."
"It doesn"t matter, that person has to deal with it. Otherwise... why do you think the family master came down ? For a mere Dao Inst.i.tute"s placement ?"
The Daoist sneered like a fire.
"What ?"
The other man was shocked : "Is there such hidden secrets ?"
"Yes, what"s a dandy ? It"s a quota and we can"t blame Family Master for this dispute. After all, the third son is not worthy of indulgence. This year isn"t good year, but isn"t there next year ?"
“不错，区区一个纨绔子算什么？便是占了一个名额，还犯不着我们家老爷为此与那位道种争执，毕竟，三公子也并非什么可堪造就的货色，今年不行，不是还有明年么？”
(It is very confusing. As always, if you can, please help me re-edit this paragraph.)
The Daoist shook his head : "I would like to take this child but in order to break the human"s heart and let other people clean up the person ! So you"re saying to not worry ? As long as it"s done, some people will give us the finishing touch !"
"No wonder why my grandpa was so so bold, not afraid of revenge, it turns out that he had a backer!"
The first man suddenly realized he was speaking to himself : "Suppressing a Taoist family, and a deep-rooted at that. I am afraid that the pressure comes from the high officials of the county. Even though the Wu Family is somewhat domineering, it has never betrayed the county, right ?"
"Oh... This why when you don"t provoke people, people comes to provoke you ! What time is it now ? Heaven emits killing intent, hidden dragons and snakes raise from the land, heroes are up, all fighting for a chance. You are blocking other people"s roads, how can you blame other for rising against you ?"
"Chance ? Snake ? Dragon..."
At first, the eyes of the people were fascinated, but they thought these were signs of troubled times where all kinds of geniuses rised up but there only so much luck in a country. Instinctively, they would compete with each other for Heaven"s Fate. He immediately thought of one thing : "Dao Lineage Battle ? Dragon Qi ?"
After walking two circles, his mind became more and more clear : "Yes ! With Wu Qing, this woman"s talent is overwhelming and the princ.i.p.al has praised her as "True Dao Seed" and the fact that her cultivation advances by leaps and bounds has become normal. At the Dragon"s Gate Meeting, it may be impossible to restrain her. She must be suppressed !"
"You already know it in your heart. Say no more, the cause and effect are entangled !"
The Daoist shook his head and said nothing.
The other person was silent for a long time and suddenly sighed : "The people behind the scenes are so laid out, I"m afraid for the sake of the Dragon"s Gate meeting, it is so simple to occupy the top spot but Chu Feng County may be troublesome..."
"Oh... you are wrong again !"
The Daoist smiled proudly : "Looking at today, Great Zhou is dying, the stars are coming down, the battle is inevitable. But whoever sits on the throne of the world, won"t they become our master ? This is the rule of the world, whenever it is Great Zhou, the county guard, the Dao Inst.i.tute or even the upper house will certainly appease the scholars, the jianhu, the beggars and so on, lest it degenerates to a situation of popular grievances. So, what do I fear ?"
"Not bad !"
The previous man nodded again and again : "This time, it seems that there"s still a long way to go before getting the job done !"
"I"m a colleague but I don"t have to !"
“我等份属同僚，却是不必如此了！”
Although he said so, the Daoist"s eyes still have a hint of color and looking at the fortress, he was worried : "If the child isn"t retreating, it would be a little difficult !"
After all, the fortress of today was very defensive. After the incident with Lin Qi, it scared some people and the security has been strengthened. Even the military reserves, due to the existence to Wu Qing, was terrifying than Daqing Village with presence of iron armor. There are three and two bed crossbows, the bed crossbow being capable to shoot over a thousand steps. It is a real killer and there"s militia patrol day and night.
In these sorts of camps, as long as it wasn"t a siege from the Great Army, anyone who comes to see it would tremble if they ever had to fight.
"Not afraid !"
The first person smiled : "If it was in a normal condition, we really wouldn"t be able to capture the child, however when it comes to autumn harvest, there"s a chance !"
"Good words !"
The Daoist priest nodded with a smile, apparently thinking that as long as he was outside, kidnapping the target would be as easy as eating and drinking.
After all, even if there"s some news about the child"s eager and diligent practice of martial arts, martial arts is difficult. What can a mule do with only a few months of practice ?
The only master that could be troublesome would be Feng Han
...
Three days pa.s.sed quickly.
The two people were not wrong but it"s a pity !
It is in Wu Ming"s opinion that the world is bigger than his own life !
At this time, the OverG.o.d Palace Mission is just around the corner. As long as it doesn"t turn out the world turned upside down, don"t expect him to a step.
For three days straight, he was living in a simple way, meditated on qi refining and adjusted his mindset while letting the two outsiders wait.
"What do we do ? Do we storm ?"
The two people sat on a wax for a while and one of them lamented : "Did our arrangements get seen through ?"
"If it has been seen, then it"s time to do our work and take on the Township militia. We can"t beat them with our fists, should we run ?"
The Daoist stroked his beard : "From the perspective of this old priest, it is not the young man"s habitude to not step out to get some fresh air. He should be in a critical stage in his meditation or something similar, things have changed... After all, the True Inheritance Destiny is solid, not easily breakable !"
"What do we do ?" The other party was anxious.
"One word. Wait !"
The Daoist seemed to have a good idea. In fact, he had other plans in mind.
Although he took refuge to the main family, it was more like the status of a guest, and he could hardly force him to risk death.
"The Lord treats me as a national sergeant, it"s only right that I report to the national sect. The owner is only waiting for a guest so I should what guests should do."
In the eyes of the Daoist, there seems to have a smouldering fire and said to the other : "But waiting is not the way to go so... so... you understand ?"
"It is good !"
The other person"s eyes shined with admiration, slowly retreating into the darkness.
.....
The stars are thin and the black fireflies fly south.
Unconsciously, it was midnight and the hour was approaching.
Inside the fortress, Wu Ming has long told outsiders that he would retreat for a few days, seek a breakthrough and should never be bothered and immediately slept on the big bed, calling the name of the OverG.o.d Palace.
