Chapter 441

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

“Dear players congratulations for completing the S-level mission Demon’s Castle. The objective of the mission is to lift the curse of the castle. The time limit is 7 days and the players will receive 50000 points…”

“The mission is completed, you will be leaving this instance soon…” bjcWf9

Mission accomplished?

The mission was completed?

…… Before Xiao Tangqiu could feel any shock, he fainted.

When Xiao Tangqiu woke up again, he had already returned to the white transfer module when he opened his eyes. He was lying on his back inside the module. After he regained consciousness, he quickly sat up and touched his chest only to find that the wound on his chest had disappeared again. 3d6xIY

Not only that, all other wounds on his body had disappeared as well, except for the burning pain in his back.

……What’s going on? Weren’t all wounds automatically healed when players were transferred back?

Just when Xiao Tangqiu lost himself to melancholy, Tang Mianmian came up to him, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder. “They’re probably not in a good mood now. After all, their captain was seriously injured and in a coma… I don’t think they hate you or anything…”

Xiao Tangqiu glanced at Tang Mianmian and gave him a bitter smile. If this didn’t count as being hated, then what was? But he knew that Tang Mianmian was comforting him out of his kindness and didn’t open his mouth to refute him. vtPJqd

The two men looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

At this time, a familiar woman’s voice sounded out.

“It seems that you’ve successfully completed another mission. Congratulations.”

Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian turned back at the same time. A beautiful and sexy woman in black stood not far behind them, smiling at them. 2b0GVH

It was Su Manluo whom they had met in the last instance.

Xiao Tangqiu stared blankly, “Miss Su…”

Su Manluo smiled faintly, “Just call me Su Manluo. It seems like you’ve successfully hooked up with Shen Yuan?”

Xiao Tangqiu gave a wry smile, “We just happened to be in the same instance.” mYdRIk

“You entered the same instance?” Su Manluo couldn’t help showing an expression of disbelief. “S-level mission? You survived an S-level mission? That’s impossible!”

Tang Mianmian immediately looked horrified. “Yes! I still think that it’s impossible! That S-level mission was really terrible! I can’t believe we came out alive! “

Su Manluo was shocked but soon regained her calm. She looked at Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian inquiringly and laughed slightly. “You two rookies who’ve only completed a D-level mission actually survived an S-level mission. This is absolutely unheard of… But that’s what I expect of the people that I have my eye on.”

Tang Mianmian scratched his head and smiled sheepishly. “We’re not that great at all…” GkN8Yu

Xiao Tangqiu laughed bitterly. “It’s all because Shen Yuan and his team carried us through. We definitely wouldn’t have made it if we were on our own.”

Tang Mianmian chimed in, “Yes ah, yes ah! It’s all thanks to these great gods for taking us up to the clouds with them!”

Su Manluo smiled, “Old players won’t simply bring newbies along unless those newbies have something to offer.”

Tang Mianmian laughed, “It’s nothing…” r7Q9kf

Su Manluo went on to say, “Moreover, even if you have old players taking you, it’s unlikely for the average newbie to pass an S-level mission on their second try. It seems that I underestimated you in the last instance.”

Tang Mianmian was obviously flattered. He laughed and seemed to have completely forgotten how miserable he was in the instance before.

But Xiao Tangqiu couldn’t smile at all. The thought that Shen Yuan was still in a coma weighed heavily on his mind. Right now, all he wanted to do was to find someone and ask about Shen Yuan’s condition but he didn’t dare to casually ask anyone. In case Shen Yuan’s current condition was leaked out to others, he might get him into trouble.

After much hesitation, he tentatively asked Su Manluo, “Miss Su, do you know if there are demons in this world?” axYejH

Su Manluo’s face suddenly changed. Her eyes sank as a bunch of complicated emotions flashed through. There was a trace of fear and more of some unknown emotion. A moment later, she took out a cigarette from her pocket, “Do you mind if I smoke?”

Xiao Tangqiu realized that this matter should be quite unusual so he didn’t rush her. Although his heart was extremely anxious, he endured it. “…Of course, please feel free.”

Su Manluo lit a cigarette, the smoke clouding her expression. She waited a while, smiling faintly with a cigarette between her lips. “Do you know that if you ask for this information from an information broker, it will cost you a lot of points. In this world, an important piece of information can even save your life at the critical moment… Do you know how many points the question you just asked is worth?”

Xiao Tangqiu shook his head honestly. “I didn’t know that, but if you need points, I can…” PRO8Nb

Su Manluo interrupted Xiao Tangqiu’s words, “There are many people here, so let’s talk as we walk.”

This was the transmission square of the city of the abyss. There was busy foot traffic with many people passing through. Clearly, it wasn’t a good place to discuss things. Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian looked at each other and left the transmission square with Su Manluo.

P.S. Idk if you guys have noticed but I don’t have an editor mainly because I translate every day right before I release the chapter and I don’t really follow a set time (due to work) so it would be hard to work with someone else. Anyways, I released an unedited chapter yesterday by mistake, so excuse the blatant grammatical errors. Also, I would like to give a shoutout to Cat who made a point to list them out for me ❤
