Chapter 5: Single Challenge Hunchback
“We won!” He Yiming couldn’t help but rejoice.
Although He Yiming had once battled with Spiritual Vein Realm demonic beast while teamed up with his classmates during his days in the academy, this War Hunchback Beast was still the most powerful demonic beast in the early stages of Spiritual Veins Realm, and he had managed to kill it all by himself!
Gaga!
However, right at the moment, the War Hunchback Beast’s eyes flashed with a fierce red light. It seemed as if it was aware of its imminent death, and yet, it raised both its hooves and fiercely kicked at He Yiming!
Seeing the incoming attack, He Yiming hastily began to circulate his cultivation base to protect his body, but he was still sent hurtling over a dozen or so meters away, breaking several large trees in the process.
“Damn it! I was careless!” He Yiming coughed up profuse amounts of blood and stood up. He was already injured from the impact.
If it wasn’t for him timely using his cultivation to protect himself, he would’ve probably been crippled already, if not dead.
The power of the War Hunchback Beast’s final retaliation was truly terrifying!
The War Hunchback Beast’s injuries were too severe, and right after it had sent He Yiming flying... it ceased breathing.
“Damn show off!”
“Brother Ming! Heck, he actually solo-ed it!”
“This ... This battle had so many twists and turns, ups and downs, and the final counterattack! So awesome!”
—
The players were all dumbfounded. Only after He Yiming had picked himself up did the commotion blow up.
“Everyone, this is a War Hunchback Beast!
“With your current strength, you’re certainly no opponent to it. Even this Sect Master’s momentary lapse was met with a counterattack!
“That is it for today, our expedition shall end here. This area won’t be barred, and shall remain open to all disciples, but you must keep in mind to never think of going against the War Hunchback Beast!
“Alright disciples, carry this beast back to the sect.”
—
He Yiming spoke calmly as if everything that had transpired was something that was part of the game’s plot.
He couldn’t just blurt out that he didn’t have enough accumulated combat experience, and not blame the injury on his carelessness right? If he did, then wouldn’t he lose his face as the Sect Master?
“I’ll give this plot scene 101 points and 1 extra point for brother Ming’s handsome face.”
“F*ck, no matter how good you are, the NPC will not hang on to you!”ALL new chapters on nov(e)lbin(.)com
“Can we eat the meat of this War Hunchback Beast? Why don’t we carry it back and make it into a hotpot?”
“Good, good, good! I’ll assign them missions! Sigh ...”
He Yiming was truly hapless.
He ruminated for a moment. After all, the players wouldn’t truly die if they died here. If worse came to worst, the system could just resurrect them.
“That’s right! I can design a virtual currency and the corresponding sect contribution points!
“The players can earn contribution points after they complete the released missions and when I have something good in the future, I can let the players exchange it for contribution points!
“It means that I don’t even have to spend even a single spirit stone! It’s absolutely profitable! Great![mfn]the actual translation here is ‘The empty hand gets the wolf.’[/mfn] ”
The more He Yiming thought about it, the happier he became.
He Yiming’s heart skipped a beat as he announced the mission!
【Sect Mission: War Hunchback Beast】
【Target: Kill a War Hunchback Beast and transport its corpse back to the sect square.】
【Mission Reward: 100 Sect Contribution Points】
He Yiming later entered the secret room and began to recuperate, and as soon as he did, the players received the mission notification. The players gathered in the square for hotpot were all stunned.
“Damn! Finally, here it comes!”
“... to kill a War Hunchback Beast? Sh*t, is this really the first mission?”
“Damn it, I don’ t even have a weapon. How will I fight?”
—
The players were in chaos.
However, almost all the players accepted the mission without hesitation.
At this moment, Beef Noodle had already finished reforming a body and had recreated a new character. But of course, he had retained the ID.
“I’ m not convinced!!!”
“I still have to fight!”
After leaving the portal, Beef Noodle appeared once again in the square of the sect, and without saying a word, he rushed down the mountain road.
After the time it took to burn half an incense stick...
“The heck!” Beef Noodle cursed at the toxic game as he walked out of the portal. Clearly he had died at a much faster speed than the speed he took to travel down the road.
“Everyone! I have an idea!” Suddenly, a young man with the ID ‘Star’ appeared and shouted at the other players.
“?”
The players were all stunned.
What is this person trying to do?
