Chapter 96

As a master, taking on difficult and challenging tasks is a very normal thing, of course, it is also a very frustrating thing. But to always receive frustrating tasks is quite abnormal. Now, Deirdre's task requirements are particularly frustrating for Da Fei.

Why did I take on the frustrating deal of owing 100 million to repair the barracks? If you think about it carefully, isn't it all because of you? Although from now on, this deal is definitely profitable and no longer frustrating, but you, instead of staying in the grand palace and enjoying a good life, actually want to take risks to become a hero. Isn't this just another form of self-inflicted frustration?

Da Fei sighed, "You can't stealth, how can I ensure your safety?"

Deirdre said solemnly, "Hero trials are not kindergartens; safety has never been the primary concern. Besides, is staying on the master's ship any safer? My fate is tied to the master's success or failure. I can transform, I am familiar with demons, and I can help a lot with the master's rescue mission!"

Da Fei was startled! This sense of crisis is too intense!

Indeed, how safe can this old ship be? I took on two epic quests with this old ship, so anything that happens wouldn't be strange. As a player, whether I succeed or fail doesn't really matter, but for an NPC with only one life, it's different. If I fail, she's done for!

I understand her feelings; everyone only has one life, right? Her plan also makes sense. Although the Demon King's strength has increased, the enemies have raised the alarm, and their defenses are even stronger. It seems they've introduced some secret weapon in the Demon Factory. Whether we attack forcefully or stealthily, it might be difficult.

There's nothing to say, I'll accept it! If I succeed in the end, I might as well take her along to succeed. If I fail, accepting or not accepting this task makes no difference, so I'll take it.

— System Notice: You have accepted the quest "The Path of a Hero"!

Deirdre chuckled, "Thank you, Master! To support your mission, I will infiltrate immediately and be ready to assist you when the time comes."

Da Fei suddenly remembered something, "My leadership isn't enough, I can't take you into battle, right?"

Deirdre laughed, "Master, as a leader, why do you need to be led into battle? Otherwise, wouldn't the two young ladies laugh at you?"

That's true, as a leader, of course, you have the attribute of independent deployment like a scout. In the end, she was still stimulated by the rising stars, sigh.

Da Fei nodded, "Very well, let's set off immediately."

Deirdre shook her head, "Master, the enemy is on full alert now. Any slight movement will trigger indiscriminate magic artillery. For safety, please wait before moving out."

Da Fei was stunned. It seems I have to wait? The two little ones just came back from a big battle and need to rest. Besides, it's not proper for the commander to be absent when repairing the barracks. I also need to discuss the support plan with Kateryna.

Da Fei nodded, "Alright, be very careful."

Deirdre smiled, "Don't worry, I am very familiar with demons."

Da Fei escorted Deirdre to the deck and watched her soar into the sky and disappear. He felt a sense of loss, as if he had forgotten something?

Shit! I forgot to wear clothes! My darling, your white skin is for me to see, how can others see it? I can't tolerate this! I can't tolerate this! I must transform into Lady Rong!

Da Fei sighed and shook his head with a bitter smile. In the end, I am so powerful because I have a succubus. If other players took on this quest—shit, what a joke! Can other players be as capable as me to defeat an epic hero? Or a hero who can teleport! The subsequent impact is something ordinary players can't handle.

Speaking of which, just now, it seems we looted an A-grade treasure, but I was too busy escaping to look at it. Now I can take a look.

— Hourglass of Misfortune: A-grade strategic treasure. Auxiliary treasure equipment slot. Continuously reduces the enemy's luck and increases our luck as the battle progresses. When our luck is increased by 5 points and the enemy's luck is reduced by 5 points, the treasure starts to reduce our luck and increase the enemy's luck. This cycle repeats.

Shit! A seesaw of luck? This treasure is really frustrating!

However, this treasure can create a 10-point luck gap, directly nullifying the enemy's master-level luck spell, which is quite terrifying! And it only occupies one auxiliary treasure equipment slot! It truly lives up to its A-grade status! If so, I must max out my luck skill and then equip some items to increase my luck, no, I must equip items to reduce the enemy's luck, to minimize their benefit from the treasure!

Currently, there are B-grade treasures like the Cursed Necklace that directly reduce the enemy's luck by -2, and C-grade treasures like the Cloak of Misfortune and Ring of Misfortune that reduce the enemy's luck by -1. When that happens, the enemy will be so unlucky, and I will be so happy! Hahaha, what a great treasure! It was looted well!

Wait! That's not right either. The slots for rings, cloaks, and necklaces are so valuable, and they provide greater benefits to the army. How can I equip unreliable treasures that only affect luck? After all, only elves and demons are experts in manipulating luck.

Sigh, still frustrating. In any case, I'll use it for now. After all, the first round reduces the enemy's luck, which is an advantage!

Soon, the Soaring sailed back to the place of the first victory, the dilapidated flower sprite barracks.

"I have disembarked, feeling good, please rest assured, hero!" The flower sprite instructor, eager to get started, led a large group of flower sprites who hadn't rested much, flying towards the treehouse barracks on the tree roots and began casting spells around the barracks!

For a moment, the light shimmered like a starry river. This must be the ancient symbiosis of the World Tree? This is how it's repaired!

To prevent any unforeseen events, Da Fei once again lined up all the Jungle Hunters on the deck for protection. If we encounter another insect attack this time, I will hold out to the end! I don't believe that with the Hourglass of Misfortune in hand, I won't blow you insects away in the first round!

As the spell casting progressed, a green light rose from the barracks, and flowers bloomed all around. The dilapidated wooden house mended its cracks and took on a fresh green hue. At the same time, a fresh, fragrant breeze blew down from the sky!

Kateryna exclaimed in surprise, "Finally, there's a breeze!"

The flower sprite instructor replied from a distance, "It's the ancient wind of the World Tree, which can purify the filth left by the magic insects and enhance the effects of healing, purification, and lightning spells in the wind. The more insect nests the hero destroys, the faster the World Tree will recover. Soon, the World Tree will send a Forest Nymph to assist the hero! Each barracks will only send one Forest Nymph."

Forest Nymph? Just as I was surprised, a golden light flashed from the barracks!

— Quest Notice: You have successfully repaired 1 flower sprite barracks and received 1 Forest Nymph.

A golden flower sprite, holding a green staff and shimmering with golden flower butterfly light, flew out of the barracks! Da Fei's eyes widened in surprise. All other flower sprites are green, but this golden one is definitely extraordinary!

— System Notice: The Forest Nymph has joined your army!

Da Fei hurriedly checked the army panel:

— Forest Nymph: Small ethereal creature, Attack 9, Defense 7, Damage 6-9, Health 35, Attack Speed 11, Mana 30, Leadership 0, Special Skills: Flying creature, Ranged attack, Advanced Healing, Advanced Purification, Basic Arcane Illusion Army.

Da Fei's jaw dropped! This is a level 4 unit? The key is, this is another flying ranged unit? So the reward for clearing the insect nests is here! That means if I clear everything, I can get over a hundred? The more units I have, the easier it gets? That's how it is! I am not fighting alone.

(These three days of holidays have been filled with wedding banquets and social engagements. I finally couldn't hold out last night. Sorry everyone, please bear with me for a while.)
