Tui~ Ming once again walks out of the Earthworm Forest gate, shaking off the stinky mud on his body. He never thought that the stinky mud of the king-level earthworms could shoot so high.
To be honest, with such a large area taking off into the sky, there was no way he could dodge with his average flying skills.
Roar~ The little bear growls and raises its paw, signaling Ming not to come close.
At this moment, the sun sets in the west, and night falls.
Plop~ A large raindrop falls on Ming's face.
"It's going to rain heavily~"
Ming wipes the raindrop off his face.
[Your frogs have vomited... They are now very weak... Their brains are not functioning well... They want to end their journey...]
"as if their brains are usually working well." Ming holds the little bear's paw and follows the travel route of the frogs to find them. The two fools are very weak now, and he can't ignore them. If there's an accident, it'll be too late to regret it. He also wants to see what this nightmare-level hidden mission is all about.
Several minutes later, Ming observes the house in front of him and sniffs to make sure there are no zombies scents. Only then does he smash the door open, making the entrance a bit larger, and pushes the little bear inside?
He also smashes the basement door open and makes the entrance larger. The space inside is much larger than he imagined, and the little bear can walk upright. There's a sofa, table, and fireplace, and on the other side, there are hundreds of glowing flowers, which is quite a fortune.
[Your Da Vinci lies in your palm, telling you that Foodie drank alcohol to kill the swallowed caterpillars. He just took a tiny sip to taste the alcohol for Foodie...]
[Your Foodie snuggles in your arms, telling you that caterpillars are not tasty at all, and they will never save them again... Da Vinci says he can still drink five more bottles...]
[Da Vinci pats Foodie, looks at you, and says, "See, he's talking nonsense after drinking too much... Don't worry, when Foodie sobers up, I'll teach him how to be a proper frog..."]
"..." Ming has nothing to say to these two. Seeing that they are both fine, he goes back up the stairs, rinses his clothes with the rainwater outside, returns to the basement, starts a fire in the fireplace, and hangs his clothes to dry. He then pats the two foolish frogs on the head, feeds them fish, and ends the journey.
[Items gained during the journey are automatically transferred to the warehouse]
[Gained travel experience: 3412]
[Automatically transferring nightmare-level hidden mission]
"I hope there won't be any more live broadcasts." Ming leans on the sofa next to the fireplace, preparing to check the hidden mission.
[Global broadcast, congratulations to Ming for accepting the nightmare-level hidden mission again]
[This hidden mission will be presented in the form of a news flash for everyone]
"..."
"It's been a long time since we've had any news about Ming. I didn't expect him to appear like this."
"We found a four-star king-level creature in our area, and we're planning to team up to take it down. After Ming completes the hidden mission, there should be a shared buff, right? I hope it's a combat power increase."
"I just want to know, with Ming's combat power, it should be obvious in a region, right? How come no one knows which region he's in until now?"
"Ming is obviously just a nickname, maybe he's hiding among us."
"..."
David stands on the street of town 109, talking to Hawkins, "It seems that both of us were wrong. Gutmann is not Ming, after all... Gutmann has already..."
"I'm not in the mood to discuss this right now," Hawkins looks around the town and says, "Our town has never been named. Let's name it after Gutmann. How about 'Good People Town'?"
"Sounds good." David glances at Mike in the distance and tells Hawkins, "I'm not good at comforting people, but when you have time, comfort Alan and Mike. They're having a hard time accepting Gutmann's death. Anyway, we need to arrange his..."
"Funeral, right?" Hawkins gazes into the distance.
[Global broadcast, currently Ming is checking the hidden mission with a frown. To know the follow-up, please stay tuned for news updates]
[...]
"Heh~" Ming sneers, having already guessed that there would be a global broadcast. No one else is attempting hidden missions now since frogs aren't humans.
Checking the hidden mission content:
[Ming, today is a good day]
[Right?]
[Congratulations on being the first person to enter the region transformation instance. Five five-star king-level monsters are easy for you, right?]
[So, the hidden mission is simple too, you don't have to be afraid~]
[Task content: This instance is synchronized with the normal region, sharing the monsters that have descended. Kill all the shared monsters that have arrived, and the mission will end along with the instance.]
[This mission follows the principles of fairness and transparency, temporarily closing your Apocalypse Store and World Chat access. Finish the mission, and access will be restored.]
[This instance is closed, not allowing any other survivors or living creatures to enter]
[Above all, for you, it's just killing, killing, and more killing, isn't it simple?]
"..."
"What the hell!" Upon seeing this, Ming leans back on the sofa in a daze. The worst thing he feared has happened: shared synchronized descent completely disrupted his initial plan. Closing the Apocalypse Store access was something he never expected.
However, according to the task description, as long as he doesn't kill the shared bosses, the mission won't end, and he will stay in this instance forever. No one else can enter, and no other creatures can enter either. If he just cripples the bosses and locks them up, this place will become the safest place in the world.
The area is large, undisturbed, with green trees, flowers, and vegetation. Plus, a package delivery every 3 days... doesn't seem bad at all~
Continuing to check:
[Friendly reminder, to prevent you from turning this place into your home, if you still haven't completed this mission before the arrival of Chapter Four, everything inside the instance will be destroyed. Everything, with no exceptions, will vanish without a trace.]
[This is too easy for you, so don't look so worried.]
[Friendly reminder, please watch language.]
"…"
Ming lies on the sofa, staying calm. He's just daydreaming. There's no such thing as getting such a good piece of land for free in this world.
Checking the mission rewards:
[Mission Rewards: The more shared monsters you save, the more generous the rewards]
"…"
Ming sneers. There are still 15 days left before the end of Chapter Three. He needs to plan well. 15 days equal 360 hours or 21,600 minutes.
His potion-making skill, without any cooldown time enhancement, can be used once every 5 minutes. With 4,000 zombies, a conservative estimate is to use it 2 times per zombie, which is 8,000 times multiplied by 5 minutes. It will take 40,000 minutes to complete all potion-making. Even if he doesn't eat, drink, or sleep for 15 days, it's still impossible to finish.
Shortening the skill cooldown time is crucial. He suddenly realizes that there must be Hymn and Ghost Dance profession zombies in this region. As long as he turns them into puppets, he can reduce his skill cooldown time by nearly half. The most important thing now is to level up and become a Puppet Master.
But so far, he hasn't figured out the most effective way to kill those earthworms. It's outrageous that he can't easily collect the experience right in front of him.
Of course, if he charges in and hacks, he can still gain experience. However, that would consume many repair scrolls. His access to the Apocalypse Store is closed, so he can't afford to waste repair scrolls on those worms.
Besides, that's not his combat style. He must ensure his safety and maximize his benefits while finishing the worms in the fastest way possible.
Finish them in one go?
"Right~ I haven't checked the rewards for the shared bosses yet."
Ming slaps his forehead. The shared boss is a Bomber. If there's a bomb skill, wouldn't it be simple and easy to deal with these worms?
He immediately opens his warehouse to check the shared rewards: 1 gold, 2 orange, 5 purple, 12 blue, 32 green, and 50 white.
Gold card:
[Car Bomb]
"Nice~"
