Chapter 473 Don't give me that nonsense.
"Holy crap! It's that man!"
"Who else could be dressed in such a flamboyant outfit but You Shen!"
"God of the Underworld! I'm your long-lost son! Please take me with you!"
Countless friend requests and team invitations flooded Chen You's system panel like snowflakes.
The crowd surged forward, with players in the front row pushing desperately to get ahead, while those in the back row stood on tiptoe.
A mage player with the ID "Unlimited Magic" rushed down the steps, waving his staff and shouting, "God of Travel! Please carry me! My DPS is insane, and I can even yell '666'!"
A warrior carrying a large shield shoved him aside: "Get out of the way! Does the God of Travel need your pathetic damage output? God of Travel, take me with you! My shield is super tough, it can block your attacks!"
"God, my roommate's biggest wish before he died was to clear the Kabing Cave at least once. Please have mercy!"
The scene was extremely chaotic, with all sorts of bizarre reasons given for asking to be taken along.
Chen You stood on high ground, looking at the dense crowd, his brows slightly furrowed.
There are still more than ten hours until the world boss "Star Neptune" arrives.
Given the tendency of players from the Origin Realm to join in the fun, Hidden Star Bay should already be packed with people by now, with all the major guilds vying for advantageous positions.
How can so many people gather in this desolate, icy place?
Chen You casually clicked on the attribute panel of the first berserker.
Level 50, Labra tribe.
Then I clicked on a mage next to me who was waving his hands frantically.
Level 51, newbie.
understood.
There wasn't a single player from any of the three Protoss races; they were all casual players with no special backgrounds.
These people wouldn't even be qualified to fill a gap in Star Sea King's teeth in the Hidden Star Bay; they'd be nothing more than cannon fodder.
Sure enough, there are still some cowards.
"Guardian! We're missing a strong player for the Kabing Cave exploration. You take charge, and all the loot is yours!" a guild leader shouted hoarsely.
"Wandering God, I'm Loli Voice, I can heal, I can carry, and I can warm your bed!" A burly orc man roared.
Chen You's lips twitched slightly.
He thought for a moment and realized that the main quest in his task list was now marked as completed.
Given the usual pattern of this lousy game, after completing the quest, the next step will most likely be to grind the newly opened "Kabing Cave" dungeon.
"I'm not doing dungeons right now," Chen You said calmly, sheathing his longsword. "I'm in a rush to turn in my quest."
After saying that, he lightly touched the ground with his toes, and the Jade Emperor Sword transformed into a stream of light that lifted his body.
With a "whoosh".
Chen You completely ignored the terrain and the crowd, flying out from the mine entrance at the top of the cave, leaving behind a group of players with their necks bent over.
"So handsome..."
"Is this the mark of a true expert? Even their journey is enhanced with special effects."
After flying out of the abyss ice mine, Chen You returned to the surface of Aurora City.
The scene before him was somewhat unexpected.
Half an hour ago, this place was a lifeless city of ice sculptures.
Now, all the ice sculptures that had been in bizarre poses on the street have melted.
A thin layer of water covered the ground, reflecting colorful light under the starry aurora.
The NPCs are busy in the streets and alleys.
Some were inspecting their frozen stalls, while others were hugging and crying, celebrating their survival.
You can even see many nimble players running around the city, looking for NPCs with exclamation marks above their heads to accept side quests.
Chen You did not linger and went straight to the city lord's mansion.
In the city lord's palace.
The Aurora Guard has resumed patrols, but each guard looks pale, as if they have been frozen for three months and their bodies have not fully recovered.
Chen You strode into the main hall.
The city lord, "Bingbingde," was sprawled out on the throne covered with heavy animal hides, completely lacking any decorum, holding a steaming cup of red tea in his hand and gulping it down one mouthful after another.
Upon seeing Chen You enter, Bingbingde sat up abruptly, spilling water from the teacup in her hand.
"Warrior!" Bingbingde strode down the steps, his once aloof and exclusive face now plastered with a fawning smile.
"You really did it! I can feel that the evil force shrouding the underground of Aurora City has completely dissipated!"
"You saved this city, you saved millions of its people!"
The system notification tone sounded at the appropriate time.
[Ding! Main quest "The Frozen Past" has been completed.]
[Gained 1000 million experience points; Aurora City reputation has been raised to Revered]
[Item obtained: Aurora Ice Crystal (purple material) x5.]
Chen You glanced at the experience bar.
It went up a little, but not by much.
He pursed his lips; this reward was stingy.
"Lord City Lord," Chen You said without any ceremony, pulling up a chair and sitting down. "Let's skip the formalities."
"I fought that monster named Holm down there for ages, burning over a dozen high-level talismans, and this is all I get? Is this some kind of beggar's treat?"
Bingbing's smile froze.
She rubbed her hands together and coughed awkwardly twice: "Warrior, Aurora City has just been unsealed and everything is in need of rebuilding. The treasury... the treasury is indeed a bit empty."
"No money?" Chen You raised an eyebrow.
"I'm really broke." Bingbingde said with a bitter face, "We sold all the magic crystals we could to keep the city's protective array from being completely corrupted by the curse."
Chen You stood up, patted his clothes, and said, "Okay, then I'll be going now."
"Wait!" Bingbing exclaimed anxiously, grabbing Chen You's sleeve.
"Warrior, although the source of pollution has been eliminated, the matter is not over."
"Oh?" Chen You sat down again. "Tell me about it."
Bingbing walked to the center of the hall and waved her hand.
A blue magical light curtain unfolded in mid-air, revealing the scene at the bottom of the abyss ice mine.
It was the very cave that Chen You had just left.
In the scene, the enormous azure portal is continuously emitting a chilling aura.
"Holm is just a watchdog," Bingbingde said in a low voice. "The real threat has been slumbering deep within the Kabing Caverns."
"That portal connects to the ancient ruins that existed before the City of Aurora was established."
"Back then, the ancestors of the Meng family..."
"Stop, stop, stop." Chen You interrupted him impatiently, "Don't give me that nonsense about your family feuds and ancient history."
"I just have one question: Are there many monsters inside? Is the experience gain high?"
Bingbing choked for a moment, and it took her a while to recover.
"So many! A huge number!" Bingbing gritted her teeth. "Countless ancient magical beasts mutated by the power of frost reside inside, and there are even sleeping frost dragons!"
"If you can completely wipe out the Kabing Caves, I'll offer you the item deepest within the Aurora City's treasure vault with both hands!"
[Ding! New main quest triggered: The Frozen Throne.]
[Quest Requirements: Clear the level 50 raid dungeon "Karbing Cave" and bring back "The Frost Dragon's Reverse Scale".]
[Mission Reward: 2000 million experience points.]
Chen You looked at the "2000 million experience points" on the task panel and felt it was still too little.
We still need to find a way to trigger the hidden reward.
