Chapter 262 Limited time mission
Lu Youyou glanced at the time; it had only been half an hour since she was supposed to leave.
Wasn't the estimated time one hour? How come we've already encountered fireflies?
Could it be some kind of monster in disguise?
Her heart jumped, and she looked at the dashboard.
He breathed a slight sigh of relief when he saw the small red dot representing fireflies appear in front of his car on the map.
She put on her down jacket, got off the bus, stood in front of the fireflies, and carefully observed them.
Like the Bamboo Girl, the Firefly has no monster features. If it weren't for its pale skin, it would be impossible to tell the difference between it and a human.
At this moment, Firefly was panting heavily, and beads of sweat dripped from her forehead, continuously dripping onto the ice surface as she bent over to catch her breath.
"I...I have a task for you."
Just as Lu Youyou was about to ask for additional payment, Yinghuo waved her hand, and a mountain of gold appeared on the ground.
"I, I, I... cough cough cough!"
Because she spoke too quickly, Firefly choked on her saliva and coughed violently, her face turning red and sweat pouring down her face even faster.
Lu Youyou waited until she calmed down before listening to what she had to say.
"Lu Youyou, I know that I need to pay you gold coins to do the task. This is the gold coins we collected, a total of 192321. I hope you can accept my task."
Lu Youyou put all the gold coins into her backpack. Seeing that the increased amount was indeed the amount Yinghuo had mentioned, her goodwill towards Yinghuo increased a little.
What task do you want me to complete?
"Hold on."
Then, Lu Youyou's watch vibrated.
[Firefly's Mission: Collect 30 Energy Grasses within three hours.]
[Accept the quest? Yes/No.]
Lu Youyou didn't accept it rashly; she had a problem.
"Within three hours? Where is the energy herb?"
Firefly said anxiously, "It's not far, it's not far. If you agree, I'll give you two exclusive teleportation cards. One will be used to find the energy grass, and the other will be used to teleport you to my side. Please don't submit the quest in its territory, I don't want to go there."
"I don't believe it's that simple."
"Actually... the one guarding the energy grass is a fire lizard. I can't beat it, but you can. You're the kind of person who can even kill the Stone King!"
Lu Youyou has seen quite a few monsters. Some of them are hostile to humans, while others are not, and she can tell the difference.
At this moment, Firefly's anxiety was genuine, her trust in herself was genuine, and her attitude was very sincere.
Lu Youyou accepted the quest and used the exclusive teleportation card given to her by Firefly to arrive at the territory of the Fire Lizard.
There is no ice here; the ground is dry and cracked, and even the air is filled with a scorching heat.
But there was a patch of lush, ice-blue plants growing there.
Stare at it for three seconds, and the virtual instruction manual will start.
[Energy Grass: Maintains the monster's frenzied aura and enhances the monster's internal energy.]
Those plants were indeed energy grass, but where were the fire lizards?
However, no fire lizards have attacked her yet, presumably because the fire lizards haven't discovered her yet.
Considering the urgency of the Firefly mission, she didn't want to engage in a direct confrontation with the fire lizard, so she used the stealth bracelet to quietly approach the energy grass field.
The closer they got, the more intense the scorching heat became.
"Huh~huh~"
She saw a blue lizard lying fast asleep in the grass.
Its name is Fire Lizard, but who would have thought that a lizard could be blue?
Lying in the energy grass field, blending in with the grass, Lu Youyou almost stepped on it if she hadn't been sharp-eyed.
She tiptoed to a different direction and squatted down to pull out energy grass.
"Humph!"
The snoring stopped abruptly, and the fire lizard got up and circled the energy grass field.
Lu Youyou held her breath, afraid of being discovered.
"Ok?"
The fire lizard walked straight towards Lu Youyou.
The smell of alcohol mixed with the heat hit her face, and Lu Youyou, with her sensitive nose, almost sneezed unconsciously.
She covered her mouth and nose, desperately suppressing her subconscious reaction.
"1, 3, 8, 9... Hmm, none are missing."
After mumbling his words, the fire lizard returned to its original spot and continued to snore.
Lu Youyou let out a soft breath; her heart had been in her throat just now.
When she saw the fire lizard counting the energy grass, she thought she had been exposed, but it turned out the fire lizard was uneducated and simply skipped around while counting.
In the next moment, Lu Youyou quickened her pace, collecting 30 energy grasses and immediately using the teleportation card.
After she left, the fire lizard suddenly opened its eyes, and there was no trace of the drunken haze in them.
It only glanced at the spot where Lu Youyou was picking energy grass, and it could tell how little there was.
"Thirty plants? You're not greedy at all."
……
Lu Youyou teleported to Yinghuo's side and clicked to submit the task.
"Firefly, here is the energy grass you requested."
"Thank you so much, I'll give you a high rating."
A surge of immense joy erupted from Firefly's sorrowful face as she grabbed the energy grass and vanished from the spot.
Lu Youyou got into the car and let the navigation drive randomly along the highway.
Now she had no target, so she could only randomly encounter NPCs and see if she could find any quests.
Night fell, but the rain didn't stop.
The outside temperature was colder than during the day, and the rain froze into ice much faster.
People on the public chat suggested slowing down, but Lu Youyou maintained her original speed.
Because she has an ice-breaking shovel and anti-skid tires, it doesn't affect her driving.
The car has navigation control, so she doesn't need to worry about anything. After preparing and sending meals to everyone from the food factory, she made herself a steamed bun and a plate of stir-fried pea shoots.
After dinner, she lay down on the bed to rest and arranged for several pets to take turns keeping watch overnight.
Perhaps because she went to bed too early, Lu Youyou woke up in the middle of the night.
I checked my watch and it was only 3 a.m.
But the chat remains active.
[Divine Weapon: Why are my missions so difficult! I can't even complete the first one, how am I supposed to accept the next nine?]
[Huang Huali: When I was doing the quest, an NPC told me that not everyone could leave the game. Whoever finished first could leave, and after most people left, the rest would be trapped in the game.]
[Player 890222: Are you lying? Or can you confirm that the NPC isn't lying? If so, I won't bother screening NPCs anymore; I'll accept any quest as long as I can get out.]
[Player 67882: Xiao Lu didn't mention this rule, so is what the NPC says necessarily true? It's definitely a rumor deliberately spread by Huang Huali so that when everyone else randomly accepts quests, Huang Huali can filter the NPCs' identities and get a high ranking.]
[Huang Huali: Believe it or not, instead of doubting my desire for a high ranking, I'd rather ensure I'm still alive. After all, I need to complete 10 tasks first to get out. If I'm alive, it won't be difficult for survivors to escape after a robbery.]
[Player 78992: I just tried to locate the huanghuali wood, but I don't know why I couldn't.]
[Ning Shan: I know, there's a new item card called the Void Card now. Using this card prevents others from locating you.]
