It was not yet noon, but the pet home next to the City of Divine Blessing was already surrounded by players. Of course, they were not the ones participating in the quest; they were just there to watch.
"Got it. Go talk to the NPC over there, and you can activate the function to receive quest information," Red Moon, who had just figured out what was going on, walked back and said to Red Water Drinking.
"Why do we need to pay attention to his quest? There are so many people here now, no one is even fighting monsters outside, it's perfect for leveling up," Red Dust Rain said.
"Sister..." Red Water Drinking said, "Why don't you care about Brother-in-Law at all?"
"I really..." Red Dust Rain sighed, "You're really used to calling him Brother-in-Law. How am I supposed to explain it in the future..."
"Alright, Yan'er, this is the first large-scale event since the server opened. We were going to come and watch anyway, and since Huailin is participating, it's a must to come," Red Moon said.
"I wonder when Brother-in-Law will come back..." Red Water Drinking said, "If I knew where Brother-in-Law was, I would have run away with him."
"Do you even know what running away means, you little brat? Nonsense," Red Moon scolded with a smile.
"Of course I do," Red Water Drinking said proudly, "Anyway, I..."
Before she could finish her sentence, a line of text appeared in her chat box, interrupting her.
System announcement: Player Huailin has entered the quest location.
"Brother-in-Law has entered," Red Water Drinking said immediately.
"What era is this, using text announcements? Can't they use video?" Red Blood Seal complained.
"Without everyone's consent, the game company wouldn't dare to broadcast it so openly. Getting text information is already pretty good," Red Moon said.
System announcement: Player Feng Yiliu has entered the quest location.
"Huh, that name sounds familiar," Red Water Drinking suddenly said.
"Isn't that one of the top ten experts you mentioned last time, the one who was robbed by that guy?" Red Dust Rain said.
"Right, I remember now," Red Water Drinking said, reminded by her sister, "Oh no, he has a personal grudge against Brother-in-Law."
"Don't worry, you said that guy took him down in two moves last time, right?" Red Dust Rain said.
"True," Red Water Drinking nodded, "Brother-in-Law is the best."
Li Huailin didn't enter the quest location early. The system had already notified him that he could enter ten minutes before the start, but he waited a bit. When he entered, there were already a few people there. The teleportation point was a square-like area, quite open, and the system had set up a sign to remind players to wait there.
Since it was a quest for all factions, Li Huailin expected players from other races to participate. As soon as he entered, he saw a familiar face, Lingjie Ye Hang, who was talking to two elf players, apparently acquaintances.
"Huailin!" Seeing Li Huailin enter, Ye Hang, who had been talking and looking around, was the first to notice and waved.
"Ye Hang, didn't expect you to come," Li Huailin said as he walked over.
"Didn't expect that a small donation would get me a top three spot," Ye Hang smiled, "Come, let me introduce you."
As he spoke, Ye Hang pointed to one of the elf players, "This is the guild leader of the Gods Guild, Nifeng, and this is the vice-leader, Mengmian."
"Gods Guild?" Li Huailin had heard of this name. The Gods Guild was one of the top guilds in any game, the main competitor of the Spirit World. In the gaming world, when people mentioned "major guilds," the first one that came to mind was the Gods Guild, followed by the Spirit World. Li Huailin was a bit surprised that he hadn't heard from the Gods Guild, but it turned out they had moved into the elf capital.
Looking at the guild leader, Nifeng, whose real name was Yao Tianqi, he was very famous, and his information was already very public. However, this was the first time Li Huailin had seen him in person. According to the information, he should be 31 years old, but Li Huailin couldn't tell, not sure if it was due to the elf race's appearance correction or if he just looked young. He looked very young.
The vice-leader, Mengmian, was actually Nifeng's wife in real life, 28 years old, married for four years. Four years ago, Li Huailin had even seen their wedding broadcast on TV, showing how famous they were. At that time, during his teenage years, Li Huailin was quite impressed by Mengmian's stunning appearance. Now, four years later, her appearance hadn't changed much, almost without any signs of aging, and with the elf race's correction, she looked even more beautiful.
"Ha ha, nice to meet you," Li Huailin smiled, "I've heard a lot about you."
"Me too," Nifeng extended his hand to shake Li Huailin's, "Even in the elf city, I've heard of your name, 'Awesome Brother.' Your 'Beef Noodle Fans' have even set up a base in our elf capital."
"Beef Noodle Fans? What's that?" Li Huailin asked, puzzled.
"You don't know?" Ye Hang was surprised, "They are your fan club, calling themselves 'Beef Noodle Fans.' The fan website has over 20,000 registered members."
"Damn, there's such a thing?" Li Huailin was sweating, "This has nothing to do with me, I just found out today."
"No problem, I understand," Nifeng smiled.
"His fan club has more members than you," Mengmian said with a smile.
"That's to be expected," Li Huailin didn't think about comparing fan numbers with this guy. He had been playing online games for ten years and was famous for a decade, with fans likely in the millions. Comparing with him after just a week of fame would be suicidal.
As they chatted, more people joined. Li Huailin casually scanned the crowd and found there were quite a few, at least a dozen.
"Didn't they say only the top three from each race could enter? It seems there are more people here," Li Huailin asked.
"Not just the top three in contributions, those who complete certain quests can also get a recommendation," Nifeng explained, "But the quests are quite troublesome. I did receive one, but the quest chain was too long, and I didn't have time to complete it, so I ended up donating some items to get in."
System announcement: The pet quest registration time has ended. Players who have not arrived will automatically lose their participation rights. The pet quest is now starting. Please all participating players wait for the NPC to arrive.
"It's starting," Nifeng's expression immediately became serious upon hearing the announcement.
"Damn," Ye Hang complained, "I already thought I had no chance with you here, and now even the guild leader and vice-leader of the Gods Guild are here. What is our guild leader up to?"
"Right, where is Jiawang?" Li Huailin asked.
"Don't know. He said he had a quest and took a group somewhere," Ye Hang said, "Huailin, it's rare to see you so serious. You even have your equipment on. Looks like you're determined to win this time."
"Of course, I said a long time ago that this pet egg is definitely mine," Li Huailin said.
"Oh, who has such big talk? I'd like to see," Li Huailin's words were followed by a voice from behind.
Li Huailin turned around, and to his surprise, it was a familiar face.
"It's you!" The other person was also shocked, or rather, scared by Li Huailin.
"Hey? Who are you...?" Li Huailin thought for a moment but couldn't remember.
"Ask the Sky from the World of Destruction," Ye Hang said, "It's not nice to forget someone like that."
"Oh, right, I remember now," Li Huailin slapped his palm, "Damn, the leader of the World of Destruction. I should have recognized you. How did you manage to participate?"
"I told you, after 2000 points, you need to donate many expensive items. One of the tasks is to donate Flame Flowers, and the World of Destruction is the top contributor this time," Ye Hang said.
"Damn, I remember now. This guy is the one who ruined my potion and spread rumors about me online," Li Huailin said as he walked towards Ask the Sky.
Ask the Sky was also frustrated. He didn't want to meet Li Huailin. He had just heard someone say they were determined to get the pet egg, and his personality made him speak up. He regretted it now.
"Awesome Brother, we're all on the same quest now. Let's put aside our grudges and deal with them later. Do you dare?" Ask the Sky quickly said.
"Are you the one who spread the rumor that I raped my neighbor's sow online?" Li Huailin smiled.
"Huh?" Ask the Sky was stunned, "What are you talking about?"
"Not you?" Li Huailin asked.
"Huh? What are you talking about?" Ask the Sky was also confused.
"Never mind, better to kill a thousand innocents than to let one guilty one go," Li Huailin said, drawing his bronze sword and stabbing Ask the Sky in the chest, "Why are you so damn cocky!"
-1540 (Critical Hit)
Ask the Sky, despite having a lot of HP, couldn't withstand Li Huailin's attack and fell to the ground.
System announcement: Player World of Destruction - Ask the Sky has died and is out of the quest.
"Is this quest so difficult? Someone died within twenty seconds?" Red Blood Seal, watching the text report in the pet home, scratched his head.
