Chapter 41 – The quest of the pharmacist, the Abyss gap! 



“Ding, welcome back to [Origin].”



With a light, Su Ming’s figure appeared at the birth point.



“Let’s finish the hidden quest today.”



Su Ming directly went to the pharmacy.



A few minutes later, he reached the street where the pharmacy was located, and the pharmacist, Ron, was standing there with a sad face.



“Uncle Ron, do you know who is the owner of this ring?”



Su Ming took out [Blood-stained ring].



“Adventurer, please don’t disturb me…”



Pharmacist Ron was impatient, but when he saw the ring in Su Ming’s hand, his eyes became red. He quickly reached out and grabbed the ring.



“This, this is Murphy’s ring!” Ron was extremely excited. He looked at Su Ming and asked with trembling lips, “Adventurer, please tell me where you found this ring.”



” [Wraith of Hills] dropped it after death.”



Su Ming calmly replied.



He was very clear about the details of the quest, and naturally, he knew that this ring belonged to Ron’s daughter.



However, the quest process still needed to be followed.



“I already said a long time ago that I wouldn’t let Murphy go to the mountains to collect herbs, but she just wouldn’t listen to me.”



“No, it’s all my fault. I shouldn’t let her gather medicine by herself…”



Ron’s eyes were dull, and he was muttering.



The ring appeared on [Wraith of Hills], indicating that his daughter… had been brutally killed.



Then Ron took out a bottle of potion to wash the ring, and in the blink of an eye, the surface of the ring glowed with a shimmer.



In the next moment, many medicinal herbs appeared on the ground.



This ring was a space ring.



“Wait, is this a demon’s finger?! Damn demons, you must have killed my daughter!”



As Ron was looking at the herbs, unexpectedly, he found a finger that emitted a wisp of black gas.



Endless anger could be seen on his face.



However, Su Ming felt that it was strange. Logically speaking, the pharmacist’s daughter was an ordinary person. How could she have killed a demon? Could it be that she picked it up from the ground?



What was her goal? Did she want to prove that a demon killed her?



The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this move of placing a demon finger in this space ring was intentional.



At this moment, Ron’s words interrupted his thoughts.



“Adventurer, may I ask you one thing?”



“Go ahead.”



“Help me find the demon who killed my daughter and kill it!!”



Ron’s voice was hoarse as he pleaded.



As soon as he finished speaking, a system notification sounded.



“Congratulations on triggering the hidden quest [Demon Crisis (2)]. Do you accept this mission?”



“Accept!”



Su Ming decisively accepted the quest.



[Demon Crisis (2)]



Difficulty: Silver



Type: Serial Quest -2nd part



Quest description: Pharmacist Ron asks you to avenge his daughter Murphy. Go to the Hills Mountains, find the demon who killed Murphy, and kill it/them.



Requirements: Kill???? Only [Unknown Demonic Creature].



After looking at the quest description, Su Ming looked at Ron and said, “Uncle, can you show me this demon finger?”



Hearing this, Ron handed over the demon’s finger.



Su Ming used the detection abilities of the player.



[Finger of the Demon Soldier]



Demon soldiers were the true soldiers of the Abyss Demons. Demons such as the Ghoul Demon, the Split-tooth Wolf Demon, and the Blade Demon… These types of demons, in the eyes of the Higher-Demons, were all hybrids and trash.



In every battle, the Abyss Demons would first send out a hybrid demon army to attack. When the enemy’s strength was exhausted, then they send out orthodox demon soldiers to attack.



However, there were no demon soldiers in Hills Mountain Range. They existed in [Abyss Gap] where the Abyss World and the Main World intersected. It was also the transit point for the Abyss Demons to dispatch their soldiers.



In his previous life, the player who had accepted this mission had spent a huge price to sweep through all the demons of the Hills Mountain Range before he obtained the item that led to the [Abyss Gap].



Subsequently, Su Ming bid farewell to the pharmacist.



He walked toward the Hills Mountain Range.



Su Ming’s goal was very clear. He was going to complete the hidden mission!



……



On the way, Su Ming kept using healing spells for two reasons.



First, it was to obtain a 50% increase in movement speed of [Fast Forward].



Second, it was to get new BUFFs.



In less than 8 minutes, Su Ming arrived at Hills Mountain Range.



This was because [Fast Forward] had already reached the 20th layer. After using the skill, his movement speed increased by 200% for 3 seconds.



Su Ming’s Agility had reached 269. With the boost of [Fast Forward], it was no exaggeration to say that he was 10 times faster than normal players in terms of speed.



He also got a new buff.



[Mega Power-BUFF]



Quality: Black Iron



Layers: 40/100



Effect: Increase the player’s strength by 120 points, and when equipped with two-handed melee weapons, physical damage increases by 4%. It lasts for infinity and cannot be removed.



This BUFF was also the first BUFF that provided a useful attribute bonus.



He was a priest. He could use a two-handed melee weapon, but he could not enjoy the attribute bonuses of his equipment.



His strength value attribute skyrocketed to 363 points.



After closing the BUFF panel, Su Ming looked around. There were already many players who were killing monsters here.



Upgrading in the early stage of the game was quite easy.



Most of the players who entered the game in the first batch had already reached level 10.



Su Ming went straight into the woods, looking for the monster he wanted to kill.



The players also saw Su Ming’s back. Soon the news of [Cang Hai] appearing in Hills Mountain Range spread.



After searching for more than ten minutes, Su Ming found his target.



[Demon Commander – Bronze]



Level: 15



Title: Chief



HP: 180,000



MP: 3400



Defense: 1600/750



Skills: Blood Slash LV3, Cruel Strike LV3, Blood Whip LV3



Chief Aura: Within the nearby range, +10% of all attributes of friendly units below its own title.



Dozens of Ghouls followed behind this demon commander.



Suddenly, it stopped, looked at Su Ming’s position, and grinned:



“Stupid human, how dare you come here to die. Kill him for me!”



Just as the voice faded, a group of Ghoul demons rushed over with a weird scream, but Su Ming stood still with a calm expression on his face.



The attack of these level 10 monsters was not even enough to tickle him.
