Chapter 58

Very quickly, the people from the Spirit World arrived. It was still Night Navigation leading the Spirit World Firehead and a few others. These guys seemed to be together all the time, apparently they were among the higher-ups in the Spirit World.

"Drinking Water, you step back for a moment. I'll help them take on the quest first," Li Huailin said to Red Face Drinking Water.

"Got it, brother-in-law. Finish up quickly so we can go out and play," Red Face Drinking Water said, growing impatient after waiting for a while.

"Indeed, your brother-in-law is diligently earning money to support the family, even though I'm the only one at home," Li Huailin said softly.

"Why don't you just move in with us, brother-in-law? Our place is big, and anyway, you're the brother-in-law, so no one will say anything if you live with my sister," Red Face Drinking Water said immediately.

"Great, then maybe I'll get to see you walking around the house naked after a shower, a beautiful sight," Li Huailin said with a smile.

"Ah!" Red Face Drinking Water blushed, realizing that having a man live in her house was indeed a big problem, "Brother-in-law, I was just joking. My house is small and full of people, my parents are all there."

"That's a bit too fake, never mind, I didn't really want to move in anyway," Li Huailin said, rubbing his forehead.

"Huailin." Just then, Night Navigation walked over with his group.

"Night Navigation, what a coincidence, we've met several times today," Li Huailin said with a smile, "Let me group up first, I'll take you to the quest."

"The money has been transferred, it should arrive within ten minutes. Why don't we wait?" Night Navigation said kindly.

"No need, I trust the Spirit World guild," Li Huailin said.

"Ha ha." Night Navigation nodded, proud as the vice president of the Spirit World guild to hear someone praise its credibility.

"By the way, Huailin, our people reported to me that they found many posts defaming you on the game forum," Night Navigation said as they walked to Michael Colt's house.

"I know, saying I raped the neighbor's sow, right?" Li Huailin rubbed his forehead, "This must be the End of the World gang, they're the only ones with a grudge against me."

"Ha ha, thinking about it, Ask the Sky must be pretty frustrated, being killed by one person and half his guild, he can't even say it, so he resorts to these petty tactics. Calling himself a big guild, he has no backbone at all," Night Navigation said, growing indignant, "By the way, how are things with the End of the World?"

"Not much, I'm still figuring out how to deal with them. If I had a hundred of me, I'd really destroy the End of the World, but I'm just one person, it's a bit troublesome," Li Huailin said, shrugging, "But they can't do much to me either. We can only wait and see. I'll think of a way to deal with them."

"How did Ask the Sky get on your bad side..." Night Navigation thought that if he ever met such a fearless and fierce guy, he'd be frustrated too, and he felt a bit sympathetic.

"I don't know, maybe he's an eyesore?" Li Huailin said seriously.

"Alright, stop, I get it." Night Navigation realized this was just looking for trouble.

"Alright, we're here." Li Huailin and Night Navigation's group found Michael Colt's house again.

The door was still closed. Li Huailin knocked, and Michael Colt repeated the same dialogue as before.

"It's me, I've brought people to help find your brother," Li Huailin replied.

"It's you, brave warrior." Michael Colt immediately opened the door, as if he had been waiting by the door, startling Li Huailin and the others, "I've been waiting for you, come in, come in."

This time, Li Huailin and the others were able to enter, unlike the last time when Li Huailin couldn't even get in the door.

Inside Michael Colt's room, it was quite messy. With his brother missing, Michael Colt probably hadn't had time to tidy up. Tools and other items were scattered everywhere, a complete mess, but the game's attention to detail was impressive.

"Sorry, it's a bit messy," Michael Colt said, but he quickly started talking about his brother, "By the way, are you ready? If so, let's set out immediately. My brother has been missing for three days, I'm worried something might happen to him. Please bring him back."

Michael Colt then issued the quest again.

Michael Colt issues an A-rank hidden quest: Find Martin. Do you accept?

Accept. This time, Li Huailin accepted, and Night Navigation's group also received the hidden quest.

System notification: You have accepted the A-rank hidden quest: Find Martin.

Find Martin: Find the missing Martin Colt. Someone has seen him near the Lava Rift. Quest reward: 20,000 experience, 3 gold, rare engineering blueprint.

"Alright, I'm giving up." Li Huailin said immediately after accepting the quest.

System notification: Do you really want to give up the A-rank hidden quest: Find Martin?

"Why are you changing your mind, brave warrior? I'm really worried about my brother, please help me find him, I'll give you a generous reward," Michael Colt pleaded when he saw Li Huailin was giving up.

"These others are still here to help, I have urgent matters, I really can't go," Li Huailin insisted, not wanting to go back there again, and firmly gave up the quest.

System notification: You have given up the A-rank hidden quest: Find Martin.

System notification: You have gained 200 reputation points.

System notification: Due to your change of heart, Michael Colt's favorability towards you has increased by 10 points, current favorability: Friendly.

"Hero, your change of heart is truly wonderful," Michael Colt said, looking excited, "I'm really grateful."

"Huh?" Night Navigation and the others were stunned. What was this NPC up to? They hadn't even given up the hidden quest, and they didn't know what the penalty for giving up a hidden quest was. Usually, no one would give up a hidden quest, even if they couldn't do it right away, they'd keep it in their quest log.

"Um, good, good," Li Huailin patted Michael Colt's shoulder.

"This is really your style," Night Navigation said, speechless.

"Alright, the transaction is complete. You should go do the hidden quest now," Li Huailin said with a smile, "By the way, this quest is quite difficult, but I have a good understanding of it. If you encounter any problems with the quest, please contact me, I might be able to help."

Li Huailin was very confident, after all, the quest item, the Flame Essence, was still in his bank. If Night Navigation's group couldn't complete it, he could sell it for a profit.

"Oh, okay, I'll try it out. If I have trouble, I'll find you," Night Navigation said, not knowing Li Huailin's plan, thinking he was just being polite.

"Any trouble at all," Li Huailin emphasized again.

"Okay, okay," Night Navigation nodded, "We'll be off then."

"Oh, okay," Li Huailin nodded, about to leave when a huge red message appeared in everyone's chat box.
