Chapter 1288: 417. Darkness Grows

Magic Small Town, a cafe next to Fountain Square.

Cucumber Slice and a few others gathered in a private room, discussing tasks.

They logged on immediately after server maintenance ended and became the first batch of Wizard Apprentices at the Magic Academy.

Over the past two days, they had visited every region open to players, triggering many side quests.

Now was the time to compile the information at hand and draft a rapid promotion plan for Boss Jin.

“I triggered the tasks of cleaning the Academy Corridor and cleaning the Castle’s toilets,” one player said,

“These two side tasks refresh every 30 minutes, and only 20 players can perform these tasks at the same time. Although the tasks only involve sweeping and wiping glass, they’re not that simple.”

The player played a video clip.

In the video, he was wiping the toilet’s mirror.

Just as he wiped the third mirror, a sneaky shadow flashed across the mirror, sending shivers down one’s spine.

The player slammed the pause button and froze the video on the frame where the shadow appeared, saying,

“See that? That’s it. I suspect it’s a clue to some hidden task. After this shadow flashed, I kept hearing strange noises from the toilet and mysterious stains appeared.”

Cucumber Slice asked thoughtfully,

“Can you catch that shadow?”

The player shook his head:

“No. It moves too fast, and the toilet cleaning task is timed. If I waste time trying to catch the shadow, I definitely won’t finish cleaning the toilet in time.”

Cucumber Slice clapped his hands and said,

“Hmm, it seems like this is a difficult hidden task. Generally, such tasks are one-time and have better rewards. Record it and let’s send it to Boss Jin later.”

Strawberry Juice used the game’s built-in notebook feature to enter the task’s information.

The number of hidden tasks seemed few.

In this hour-long team meeting, Cucumber Slice and the others summarized no fewer than thirty clues to hidden tasks.

Strawberry Juice packaged the clues and sent them to Boss Jin, along with the team’s quick promotion plan.

Following this scheme, Boss Jin would need only 55 days to advance to a First Rank Wizard and officially use the power of magic.
