Chapter 145: Why Cant We Submit Missions Yet?! (2/2)

Even so, the Players of this world were all basically believers of the God of Games, and the System, being Xi Wei’s bestowment meant that quests from above were no different from a divine oracle. Leaving aside any chance of disregarding, with a quest at hand and a time limit upon that, the Players would never choose to follow the instructions given.

But in the end, the quest did not directly complete when the seven groups gathered. Still, with half an hour left on the clock, everyone simply guessed that something would happen after the time limit was over.

As veteran Players were more or less acquainted comrades who had more or less worked with each other and weren’t strangers, they all sat together and started chattering away.

“To all elite Players gathered here, everyone must have gone through battles of near death to obtain these gems that signify glory.” The pudgy Terrosche declared seriously. “We are all so excellent, so don’t be cagey, say what you want to say!”

The scrawny Silva was nodding beside him. “As expected of Brother Terrosche. It was so tough eating all those crab—our jaws were beginning to hurt!”

“…”

Edward’s eyes were twitching at that.

‘You two got the gem just by eating crabs! You the last ones we want to hear that from!’

Indeed, he could not help feeling disgusted when he remembered that his party had stood off against almost ten thousand fishmen, leaving Joe and Jessica traumatized while Edward himself had to search through dung to get the gem.

“This event might be a bit difficult, but it was fun fighting monsters over different landscapes and getting so much EXP!” Jom was saying excitedly. “I leveled up nine times with the quest and rewards from the Sea Sapphire quest, and just ten percent away from reaching level forty!”

As such, the other Players started to joining in, animatedly discussing their level up.

“…”

Marni quietly closed the page after a glance at his level and EXP bar, saying nothing with a face full of melancholy. If not for the rewards from finding the gem, he probably would have dropped one or two levels if not for the EXP he earned from this event.

“Although the items exchangeable from this event is bland compared to the Rotten Bones event last time around, there are some good drops if we challenge stronger monsters… like this one, a purple Rare ‘Shield and Armor of the Rocky Fortoise!” Princess Leah started sharing her thoughts about the event too.

“…”

Zonyan Grayclaw stared at the fishman helm which was fashioned out of an anglerfish’s head in his bag, feeling a little stumped and reluctant to speak…

Hence, the noisy chatter died down completely as the crowd’s faces made it clear what they were thinking, leaving a chill in the air.

Things became awkward immediately.

Almost everyone present was screaming inwardly.

‘Why can’t we submit our missions, d*mn it!’
