Chapter 441 Did they eat up my mission?
Sander interpreted Chen You's performance in a completely different way.
The tutor was furious.
To protect her art and provide her with a platform to showcase it, her mentor single-handedly endured the world's malice and even went bankrupt!
Seeing Chen You's face slightly contorted with "heartache," Sander's eyes reddened again.
But this time, it wasn't out of despair, but out of gratitude.
"Mentor..." Sander's lips trembled.
"Don't call me mentor." Chen You turned around, leaving Sander with a lonely yet determined back view.
"In this world ruled by capital and old rules, true art is destined to go underground. Since they won't give us a stage..."
Chen You whirled around, his eyes sharp as knives: "Then let's turn this world into our stage!"
boom!
It felt as if a thunderbolt had exploded in Sander's mind.
Despondency, self-doubt, and despair were utterly shattered at this moment by Chen You's promise of a pie.
She suddenly stood up straight, and an even more fervent aura erupted from her body.
She strode up to Chen You, knelt on one knee, and pounded her right fist heavily on her chest.
"Mentor! I understand!" Sander raised his head, his eyes burning with the fanaticism of a cultist.
"The old system can't contain my art, so I'll break it! From today onwards, I am the number one warrior of the underground label!"
Chen You's lips twitched slightly.
What the hell is this underground label? You're quick at learning words.
Chen You stared intently at Sander.
"Lie low, James Sand."
"One day, I will make the sky of this Origin Realm shimmer with neon lights for you; I will make all living beings of all races wave glow sticks for you!"
A blazing fire ignited in Sander's eyes: "Mentor! I swear to you, the next time I step onto the stage, I will unleash an even greater storm!"
Chen You nodded emphatically.
They fooled me.
"Get up." Chen You waved his hand and quickly got to the point.
"Now that the matter of Hidden Star City has come to an end, it's time for me to explore new stages."
"Main quest, shall we hand it over?"
Sander stood up and dusted himself off.
Although she was wearing worn-out leather armor, her eyes now held a hint of composure and depth.
She walked to the throne and took out a crystal token that emitted a pale blue light from a hidden compartment.
"Mentor, this is the Star Trail Pass to Aurora City." Sander handed the token to Chen You with both hands, his tone respectful.
"Your strength may bring new hope to that frozen city."
[System notification: The main quest "The Frozen Past" has been triggered.]
[Mission Description: Your strength has been proven, and your reputation has spread far and wide. The lord of Aurora City has heard of your deeds and wishes to meet you.]
[Mission Objective: Travel to the City of Aurora and unlock a long-frozen past.]
[Task Reward: Experience +500000]
Yes/No?
Chen You frowned slightly as he looked at the pop-up notification in his field of vision.
That's all?
That's it?
500,000 experience points seems like a lot, but the experience points he needs to level up now are an astronomical number.
Most importantly, the process is wrong!
Chen You didn't rush to accept the mission. He stood still, staring intently at Sander.
"Lord of the city, have you forgotten something?" Chen You asked tentatively.
Sander paused, touching his messy hair. "Mentor, is my hairstyle messed up?"
"It's not the hairstyle." Chen You stepped forward and lowered his voice.
"I mean, this city has no hidden dangers? No catastrophic disaster that requires my help to resolve?"
According to Chen You's understanding, each main city in the Origin Realm has a hidden quest that triggers a monster siege.
After all this commotion in Cangxing City, how could we just let him leave so easily?
How can he gain experience and level up quickly without fighting a monster siege?
Sander looked completely bewildered: "A hidden danger? Didn't you already solve that for me, mentor?"
"Those outdated ideas about art that don't understand art have been completely shattered by your talent show."
Chen You took a deep breath and patiently explained, "I'm not talking about potential ideological problems, I'm talking about physical ones."
"For example, have any ancient seals outside the city been loosened?"
Sander shook his head: "No."
"Is there some dark force gathering underground, preparing to massacre Hidden Star City under the cover of night?"
Sander shook his head again: "Absolutely not. The underground of Hidden Star City is solid star rock; even rats couldn't make a hole there."
Undeterred, Chen You gestured with his hands, asking, "Are there any... things that are very ugly, emanating black mist, numbering in the thousands, howling as they climb up the city walls?"
Sander fell silent.
She stared at Chen You's gestures, her gaze gradually becoming serious, as if she were lost in some deep thought.
Chen You's eyes lit up.
There's hope! The NPC finally remembered!
"Mentor..." Sander took a deep breath, his voice heavy with sorrow, "You mean... those crazy sasaeng fans and haters?"
Chen You stumbled and almost fell headfirst onto the steps.
"What the hell is this sasaeng fan?!" Chen You snapped, pointing outside the main hall and yelling, "I mean monsters! Monsters! Experience boosters! The kind that give experience points!"
Sander suddenly realized, and then gave a confident smile.
"Master, you are overthinking it. Although Hidden Star City is dilapidated, its defensive formations were left by our ancestors."
"Don't even mention thousands upon thousands of magical beasts, not even a fly could get in," Sander assured, patting his chest. "You can go to Aurora City with peace of mind; I'll guard this place."
Chen You was in despair.
Looking at Sander's confident face, he felt like a million alpacas were galloping through his mind.
This unscientific.
The previous acting city lord quest was definitely a hidden quest, and ordinary players simply couldn't complete it.
The system forcibly rolled back, wiping out all the prosperity he had spent money to achieve. Did it also erase the progress of the hidden quests?
Isn't this outrageous?!
Chen You looked at Sander, who had a sincere expression on his face.
There's no hope for this city lord whose mind is full of singing, dancing, and rapping.
To uncover the hidden quests, you'll have to rely on yourself.
"Alright, there's no rush to go to Aurora City." Chen You sighed, turned around and walked out. "I'm going to eat first. You practice your game well and don't slack off."
"Take care, mentor! I will live up to your expectations!" Sander shouted from behind, and then the familiar "thump thump" of a ball being bounced echoed through the hall.
Chen You walked out of the city lord's mansion.
The streets have been restored to their wasteland appearance, with NPCs dressed in coarse linen clothes, wandering the streets listlessly.
Several players passed by, still cursing and complaining that there was no compensation at all for restarting the system.
Chen You rode the White Rabbit directly back to the Supreme Tower.
"Hill, I have a question for you."
