Chapter 107: Chapter 106: The Quest I Was Waiting For, Part I (2/2)
”It has to. There's a chance it could be Rank 9 or Rank 10.”
”Damn, Rank 10? That's freaking crazy.”
”What's the quest location?”
”Hmm…it's not on here. We have to find it on our own, but it says that the treasure is located in the King-Emperor's Tomb?”
”Then something had to have changed its form. It could also be a dungeon that just appeared, as well.”
A huge crowd of devas was gathered around the quest board and were chattering among themselves. The quest wasn't a normal one that was usually granted to a single deva; it was available for everyone and gave a reward of a Rank 8 item or higher. Obviously, it attracted a lot of attention.
I looked at the quest board from a distance.
======
[Find the King-Emperor's Treasure. (No Rank)
There once existed an invincible King-Emperor. This young ruler commanded such power that a single slash of his blade could cut anything in half. With that power, he had the world at his fingertips. All bowed to his force and his name, but the young ruler could not resist the power of time. As he grew weaker and weaker through the years, he grew angrier and angrier. Unable to bear the shame, the ruler dug himself into the ground, taking all of his wealth with him.
Find the treasure the King-Emperor buried himself with.
Time Limit: Until whoever finds the treasure first.
Location: The King-Emperor's Tomb.
Reward: Random chest containing an item of at least Rank 8
Accept/Reject]
======
It was the same quest I knew about. I selected Accept without hesitation.
==[Find the King-Emperor's Treasure. (No Rank)
You have accepted the quest.]==
---
After accepting the quest, I left the Store. I had no time to lose if I wanted to be one of the first seven to complete the quest.
-It was a day, right?-
From my memory, the tomb was discovered in less than a day after the quest was created, and it was the Cheng Long Guild that came upon in coincidentally. It was thanks to that coincidence that Wai Chung had a Rank 9 item from the quest.
-Let him have it. My goal is something else.-
I quickly entered the Messenger Guild's Teleport building next to the Store. My destination was Beijing!
”Take me to Beijing, please.”
”That'll be 70,000 golden rings.”
I paid the clerk and stepped onto the platform.
---
As soon as I was in Beijing, I headed for Beijing Capital Airport to get to Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia.
”It would have been nice if the Messenger Guild had a teleporter there, as well.” Mongolia didn't have a teleporter during my past life either. There wasn't a Store there, so it did make sense, and also meant that there weren't many devas in Mongolia.
There were many flights heading to Mongolia, and I got on the earliest flight.
”First Egypt, then Macao. Now it's Mongolia?” I was satisfied with myself for being this busy. It beat having to do the same thing over and over again...
I knew the exact location of the tomb. In the past, I had accepted the quest, thinking it wouldn't be a problem since there wasn't a real time limit. However, I could not keep up with everyone else with my abilities and only managed to hear things that happened pertaining to the quest.
-------
As soon as I landed at Ulaanbaatar Airport, I quickly headed north. Twenty minutes later, I arrived at Khan Khentii and could see Burkhan Khaldun Mountain off in the distance. That was where the King-Emperor's treasure was buried.
I quickened my pace as I came closer, and as soon as I entered the Burkhan Khaldun area, a message appeared.
==[You are the first to discover the tomb of King-Emperor as part of the Find the King-Emperor's Treasure quest.
As a reward, all Stats will be increased by 100 points.]==
”What!” This I had no idea about. Sure, I had quite a bit of Stat points right now, but 100 points to all of my Stats was like gaining 50 levels! Hell, better me than anyone else!
As I stood there in surprise, the ground rumbled as the side of the mountain opened to reveal the dungeon that held the tomb of the King-Emperor!
