Chapter 16: The Perfect Chain of Quests Completion Strategy

”Uh oh, w.a.n.g Lu is starting to take action!”
”Is that true!? Come on then, let's call the other people to watch him!”
The same morning that the trio, the errand boy and his companions, left the village with astonis.h.i.+ngly high completion rate, w.a.n.g Lu had finally ended his seclusion. When he walked out of the door, many people started to gather around to watch his every action.
”Oh, so that's what w.a.n.g Lu looks like. He doesn't seem remarkable at all. Hearing all the words about him, I thought he's some sort of three meter tall demon.”
”Tsk, who the fxck has that kind of body? Don't just look by his appearance, this guy was the first one to walk out of the Cloud Wave Map.”
”It may just be his good luck; but he hasn't done anything in the Peach Blossom Village.”
”Hasn't done anything? The first person to walk out of the village, Hai Yunfan, was only able to complete the quest because of his instructions.”
”Tch, so what if he got out of here fast? Do you know how high his degree of completion is? The guy wasted the Village Head's A level quest in vain. And now, all of the quests in the village have been monopolized. Even if he's been planning all this time, what can he do about it?”
”Who knows... we all came here to see what he's going to do now.”
What w.a.n.g Lu did next really did not disappoint everyone.
He first went to the eastern side of the village to carry water for Auntie Huang.
”Hey, is he playing with us!? Auntie Huang's quest has already been completed. How could she possibly recognize another one as her adoptive son? What's the use in carrying the water for her!?”
The one who had completed Auntie Huang's quest was also wondering. This Aunty Huang's quest was probably just a D level quest, and its value may be ranked at the bottom three in the village; in other words, completely worthless. Who would have thought that the ill.u.s.trious w.a.n.g Lu actually took this quest as his first action.
w.a.n.g Lu ignored all the onlookers and just focused on carrying the water. Although his stature was average, his strength was fairly good, so before long, he already filled up Auntie Huang's water tank.
”Oh, young man, thank you...”
But before Auntie Huang even finished her sentence, w.a.n.g Lu interrupted, ”I want to go to your son's school.”
Auntie Huang was stunned for a moment, and then nodded her head.
Afterwards, without many pleasantries, w.a.n.g Lu immediately walked next door.
Living next door was Auntie Huang's son, Scholar Huang. His quest was worth much more than Auntie Huang's. Initially, it was just a D level quest, but later on, after the quest progressed to a certain point, one would have the chance to get acquainted with the reclusive old pedant in the village, which was an A level quest. This was one of the quest that the little errand boy, w.a.n.g Zhong, had famously completed.
Right now, this Scholar Huang's quest has been completed. After the little errand boy left the village, Scholar Huang had never showed any interest in other people. The rest of the partic.i.p.ants did not even bother talking to this worthless poor scholar anymore. When they saw w.a.n.g Lu strode into the school, they all speculated on what he was going to do.
”Could it be that this scholar has a hidden quest?”
”I think not, otherwise, wouldn't it mean that every other villagers also have a hidden quest? Do you think w.a.n.g Lu stayed in seclusion for so long just to complete hidden quests?”
Then they saw w.a.n.g Lu went straight to the school, and before Scholar Huang even had the chance to open his mouth, w.a.n.g Lu put a dozen of papers in front of him. ”Teacher, this is today's homework.”
At this time, the crowd outside was completely confused. w.a.n.g Lu had not been accepted as a student, nor had he paid his tuition fees. It stood to reason that he should be kicked out! But now, not only he had swaggered into the school, he even claimed to have finished his homework?! When did he write the homework? However, Scholar Huang was teaching poems today, so the homework should be about poems.
Scholar Huang actually took those papers and began to read through them. After a closer look, he suddenly gasped, ”Did you really write this poem?!”
”Other than me, who else?” w.a.n.g Lu said with a smile, ”You have seen the Yellow River waters descended from the sky and pour into the sea, but have you ever seen it return to the sky... have you ever heard a similar verse?” [1]
”This poem has sincere emotion imbued within it, it is very impa.s.sioned. But you're an eleven or twelve-year-old child, how can you create such a deeply moving poem?”
”I am that gifted, a literary star who had descended to the world.”
w.a.n.g Lu cheerfully said. He looked at Scholar Huang as if he was a village dog. His bullshxt reason couldn't even fool an eight years old kid, but after thinking for a moment, Scholar Huang unexpectedly shook his head and gave a sigh.
”Unfortunately, I've already received my final disciple, otherwise, I would definitely want to accept you as my disciple.”
w.a.n.g Lu let out a chuckle, completely ignoring the scholar's regret, ”Can I ask something from you?”
Scholar Huang very seriously said, ”Do not hesitate, just say it.”
”I want your sweat towel,” w.a.n.g Lu said as he pointed at the towel that Scholar Huang used to wipe his sweat on the table.
Scholar Huang immediately gawked. ”You want this??”
”Uh huh.” Without wasting any time, w.a.n.g Lu reached out and took the towel, and then he left. However, Scholar Huang was also a wonderful person. After stupidly gawking at w.a.n.g Lu's actions, Scholar Huang threw all of their exchange to the back of his head and turned his head to the cla.s.sroom to start teaching again; it was as if nothing had just happened.
The crowd of onlookers outside was actually unalarmed by this strange sight. They had already recognized such patterns in all of the villagers. They only showed emotion and intelligence when it was related to a quest. In most other situations, they were as stupid as cows.
But the strange one was w.a.n.g Lu who strode out of the school holding the sweat towel. What would he do with it? Scholar Huang wasn't a maiden; his sweat towel was both sour and stinky. Was there anything fun that could be done with that?
Finally, they saw w.a.n.g Lu walk to another ”eminent” person's house. Before he could even reach the door, several onlookers exclaimed aloud, ”Little Fang! That is Little Fang's house!”
The people in the crowd looked at each other in dismay. The village girl, Little Fang, was like a legendary character. She had a beard on her square face, was about 2.6 meters tall, and had 2.6 meters waistline. She could eat twenty steamed buns and ten plates of beef for a meal. Outside her house, there were two rocks weighing hundreds of kilos each that she would throw around for fun while waiting for meal time.
This character could be a valiant hero in anywhere else, instead she was the village girl, Little Fang, who lived in the Peach Blossom Village and was nicknamed the-pa.s.sionate-for-true-love Little Fang. All the quest related to her was about love. The only way to advance her quest was to be completely faithful to her. Many of the partic.i.p.ants had described this quest as the legendary quest beyond the A level quest. A prince had sacrifice everything to do this quest, but all of that was for naught after just one careless move. Who would have thought that w.a.n.g Lu would boldly come to her door...
Unfortunately, if that prince hadn't activated this quest, with w.a.n.g Lu's skill, perhaps he might really be able to complete it... although just thinking about it made people want to vomit everything in their stomach. But in any event, w.a.n.g Lu had no chance to complete this quest now.
At this time, w.a.n.g Lu knocked on the door and called out, ”Little Fang, I have the sweat towel of Scholar Huang.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened. The village girl, Little Fang, holding a greasy pig's leg, spoke in a low m.u.f.fled voice, ”What did you just say?”
w.a.n.g Lu smiled. ”I have the unwashed sweat towel of Scholar Huang. I'll trade it for your unique homemade steamed pork slices with rice.”
”You want my steamed pork slices with rice? ... Okay, give me the towel.”
