Chapter 444 - Vast Lake
TL: LifeisaJourney
Taking opportunity of this time frame before the next Crocodile spawned, Liu Gan and the other three players started walking faster along the markings created by Cai Hao Chen and Liu Kang. After a certain distance, they saw scuff marks indicating Crocodile had showed up to the party. Liu Kang and Cai Hao Chen had come across the creature and escaped in a different direction.
Perhaps Liu Gan had killed the Crocodile which had scared off the pair. They might have ran too far away and gotten lost. It was strange that Liu Gan didn’t hear any cries for rescue. Did they come across other creatures?
Without any additional marks, the trail had gone cold. Liu Gan and his group decided to continue forward according to the last marker. The path seemed to be leading toward a building nearby. Even though it was highly unlikely that Liu Gan would find her within the building, he still had to search through it.
In a stroke of luck, Liu Gan walked into the building and discovered Wan’er’s mother lingering in a corridor. Wan’er shouted loudly at her mother the moment she saw her. The young mother turned around immediately.
“Wan’er, where did you go? I searched everywhere for you! You scared me to death!” the young mother ran over to wrap her arms around Wan’er.
“I saw uncle! I chased after him, but i couldn’t catch up to him. Then, I wanted to go to the restroom. I tried to find the restroom myself!” Wan’er explained.
“Uncle is working, so don’t bother uncle anymore. Definitely don’t run off again!” the young mother continue to scold her. Liu Gan waltzed around the young mother a few times so he can get their attention without interrupting. The young mother definitely noticed since she quickly pulled the jigsaw puzzle out from her bag to hand over to Liu Gan.
“Moonlight Gulf Theme Park has a side door for you to leave. It is in that direction. If you are done playing, then you can leave through that door,” the young mother pointed in a certain direction while speaking to Liu Gan.
“Oh?” Liu Gan understood her intentions immediately. She gave him a major clue. She meant that if he didn’t want to do anymore quests, he could leave through the side door to leave this instance.
But… Liu Gan had done so much for the quest already, he didn’t want to give up now and start over later.
Prior to accepting the quest, Liu Gan had tried to steal the jigsaw puzzle from the young mother’s hand, but only grasped air. This time the puzzle materialized in his hand.
Upon receiving the puzzle, the quest was over. As such, the mother and daughter dissolved into black fog and scattered into the environment. Their role of being a NPC was over, they didn’t serve any more purpose.
Liu Gan quickly opened the puzzle to take a closer look. It was really a map. Once all four jigsaw pieces were present, then the map would be complete and reveal important clues.
That must mean there were three more quests that needed to be accomplished. Where would he find clues to those quests? Liu Gan had no choice, he made the decision to continue with these quests. He wouldl order the teams to search for clues further out in the theme park .
