Chapter 170 : Server Enemy No. 1 18 (1/2)

Although there were many people, Shi Sheng didn’t have to worry about friendly fire since they were all enemies, so she was able to use her abilities to the fullest.

‘Gotta kill these fuckers even if I have to chug meds!’

At some point, someone had shouted a call to arms on the world chat, so more and more people unhesitatingly rushed over and joined the chaotic battle.

Shi Sheng’s fingers flew across the keyboard. The flashes of light from the skills were too clustered and had nearly managed to drown out her avatar. It was now useless to look at the screen, since she wouldn’t be able to make out who was who with all those flashy animations.

The background music caused one’s blood to boil.

On the map, people fell in droves. Some corpses disappeared to revive at their respawn point, while others simply revived on the spot to re-join the battle. These people were beginning to wonder if there was a bug somewhere that kept them from killing these two despite having so many people.

Shi Sheng didn’t know how Ink Seeker was staying alive. All she knew was that she was exhausting many items to keep herself up.

When facing a human wave, no matter how awesome your skills were, you’d still have a hard time dealing with it.

It was at this moment that the volume of the background music suddenly lowered. The screen blacked out, and the music disappeared altogether, causing silence to fall.

Shi Sheng blinked and took a moment to process this before clicking her mouse. There was no reaction from the computer.

‘The fuck! Why’d my game crash?’

Shi Sheng was about to call for the manager when a string of text suddenly popped up.

I once thought he was my world. In the end, I learned it was nothing but my wishful thinking.

Shi Sheng thought, ‘Have I triggered some hidden storyline?’

The words on the screen remained for around 10 or so seconds before the fog-like darkness slowly receded. She could now see that she was standing in a valley, Ink Seeker by her side.

Shi Sheng pulled up the map and pored over it carefully. The scenery of the valley was very beautiful, but the sky above was overcast and gave one a heavy, uncomfortable feeling when looking at it.

She was quite certain she’d never seen this map before. ‘Is it a hidden map?’

A lot of the game’s functions had been greyed out. When a function was greyed out, that meant she wouldn’t be able to use them in this map. Of the available chat channels, only private messages would work.

‘Well fuck me… what kind of quest is this?! So cruel to players…’

She looked at the borders of her screen and discovered the button to close the window was gone. In other words, unless she rebooted the computer, she’d have no way of backing out. And even if she did reboot the computer, there was no guarantee she’d be able to leave…

‘So brutal!!!’

Shi Sheng opened her quests list and discovered that other than that hidden quest, all the other quests were greyed out, and she was unable to click on them…

‘Hidden quest…’

Ink Seeker has sent you a friend request. Do you accept?

Shi Sheng’s hand didn’t slip up this time and pressed on “Yes”.

What? She couldn’t use any other chats to communicate, and she wasn’t at home, so she couldn’t just hack the system willy-nilly to chat. If she didn’t accept his friend request now, the only way they could communicate was telepathically…

[PM] Ink Seeker : [A Hidden Quest appeared on my quests list.]

He got straight to the point.

[PM] Music For Miles : [is it called “Dream of A Thousand Years”? and you just received it?]

[PM] Ink Seeker : [En.]

[PM] Music For Miles : [if i told you, that i got this hidden quest from the time you killed me 99 times…]

[PM] Ink Seeker : [……]

[PM] Music For Miles : [dashen, did you actually kill me so many times because you knew this would happen?]

[PM] Ink Seeker : [No.]

[PM] Music For Miles : […My objective is to find Xi Li, what’s yours?]

[PM] Ink Seeker : [There’s no objective.]

[PM] Music For Miles : [……]

‘The hell you mean, “I don’t have an objective”?!’

Over at Ink Seeker’s side, he really hadn’t received an objective, only a hidden quest called “Dream of A Thousand Years” had appeared in his quests list. Nothing else had appeared.

Shi Sheng fell silent. The quest had only appeared because she had been killed 99 times consecutively… And Ink Seeker was the one to kill her…

But since she received the quest earlier than Ink Seeker, she must be the leader.
