Chapter 262 Found It

Bai Chen walked out of the old man Lu Heng’s herb shop with some disappointment.

However, it was only a little. Even if he failed mission 30, he would lose only 30 points.

Compared to the earlier mission that was worth 100 points, it was nothing.

Of course, if one asked whether Bai Chen felt disappointed, he would surely say yes.

This was because he had just lost 60 points and 60 magical bonuses.

“Bai Chen...” Li Lin followed him out of the shop and called him softly.

Bai Chen turned to look at her. He quickly smiled at her when he saw her worried face.

,m “I think I remembered the name of the herb wrong.”

“Really?” Li Lin’s worried face changed. She asked this with a happier voice.

She felt bad because she had not been able to help Bai Chen find the herb that he was looking for.

Hearing Bai Chen says that he had misremembered the name of the herb, she felt happier and thought about taking him to the next herbal shop.

However, before she said anything, Bai Chen interrupted.

“It’s getting late. Should we find something to eat? I’ll take you home.”

Li Lin went quiet for a second. Then, her eyes sparkled with joy. She quickly nodded. “Let’s go.”

It was obvious that she was especially happy and cheerful when she was with Bai Chen.

However, it was impossible for her to feel otherwise because Bai Chen was the man she liked. As for the herb for his mother, she thought that he would come again tomorrow instead.

Li Lin thought that she would come with him again like today.

“Let’s go,” Bai Chen told Li Lin.

Li Lin nodded, smiling brightly without hesitation.

Her smile made Bai Chen’s disappointment fade instantly.

After that, they went to eat at a restaurant close to that area.

.....................................

At around 7 p.m., Bai Chen had already parted with Li Lin. He was in a taxi going home.

Bai Chen smiled happily in the taxi. Of course, it was because of the time he had gotten to spend with Li Lin over the past 2 to 3 hours. He thought that it was not so bad that he had failed the mission.

“Li Lin should be inside her house already,” Bai Chen said softly to himself.

It was obvious that he had dropped her off at her house minutes ago.

‘Mission 30 is not a failure yet, but it likely will be soon,’ Bai Chen thought and shook his head. He could not help but open up the mission window.

Penalty for failure: -30 points

However, Bai Chen’s eyes widened with surprise after looking at the information.

He blinked and rubbed his eyes to make sure that it was not an illusion.

The information of mission 30 was still the same. However, there was something additional. It was none other than the green guiding arrow!

‘Why is it like this?’

Bai Chen quickly suppressed his surprise. His thoughts were utter confusion. He did not understand why it had become like this. Why had the green arrow not appeared before, but appeared now?

‘Or is it…?’ Bai Chen realised something. Maybe it depended on a period of time or the information about the four-petaled dewdrop flower that he had gotten from the old man Lu Heng.

Whichever it was, Bai Chen believed that it was highly possible.

Suddenly, Bai Chen’s eyes shone with determination. He looked at where the green arrow was leading him and told the taxi driver to change direction and follow it immediately.

A little more than 20 minutes later, the taxi arrived at the destination. Bai Chen paid the fare and the taxi driver drove away.

At the moment, Bai Chen stood in front of a mansion. It was not very big as there were only 2 floors. No lights were coming from the inside, so maybe the owner was away.

However, this was how Bai Chen liked it. It would be easier for him to get the four-petaled dewdrop flower.

It was obvious that the four-petaled dewdrop flower was inside the mansion.

The green guiding arrow gave him this confidence.

Bai Chen looked around him until he was sure that no one was in the area. He jumped up and used his stargazing walker technique to go over the fence.

However, he did not drop down. Instead, he continued using the stargazing walker technique until he reached the back of the mansion.

“Is it underneath?” Bai Chen stopped mid-air. He stared at the pond that had been covered tightly.

It was a rather old square pond. Bai Chen’s brows knitted tightly. He could not think of the reason why the green arrow would lead him there.

“In the pond?” Bai Chen said. The words that came out were ‘In the pond’.

He thought that maybe the four-petaled dewdrop flower was in the pond.

That was why he did not hesitate to drop himself down in front of the pond. He quickly took the large wooden plank that covered it off. It was rather heavy, but it was nothing to him.

After taking off the plank, Bai Chen was surprised by what he saw. There was a ladder!

“This ladder…” Bai Chen talked softly to himself. He was curious, but he kept that curiosity to himself and went down the ladder.

Not long after that, he came down to the floor underneath. To be more accurate, it was an underground floor. The floor was dimly lit with weak lights here and there.

Bai Chen swept his eyes around. He went still almost immediately. There was a big plot of plants in front of him!

The plants were dark purple. Each of them had four petals. Rather than calling it a plant, it would be better if it was called a flower!

“The four-petaled dewdrop flower...” Bai Chen’s lips moved slightly; a word was said.

No one had to tell him about this. He knew what these flowers were because the green arrow was pointing at them.

Also, they had four petals. How would he not know that they were ‘four-petaled dewdrop flowers’! He had finally found them!
