Chapter 66

This time, the system once again announced Li Huailin's game name without a word. Actually, there was an option in the game settings called "Hide Announcement Name." If selected, it would prevent your name from appearing in any announcements or leaderboards. However, Li Huailin didn't know about it.

But now, even if he wanted to keep a low profile, it was impossible. Too many people knew that the name "Huairuolin" belonged to the awesome guy. Due to the excessive harassment, Li Huailin had to directly turn off friend requests. Now, only he could add others as friends, and others would receive a system message saying they couldn't add him.

The system rules stated that only friends could use remote calls. As soon as the system announcement was over, Li Huailin immediately received a remote call. He didn't even need to see the name to guess who it was.

"Hey, Ye Hang, what's up?" Li Huailin answered the Lingjie Ye Hang's remote call.

"Why are you asking? You caused such a big stir again, and you didn't even know about it." Lingjie Ye Hang was a bit speechless. How could this guy always cause such a big commotion, and every time it was earth-shattering?

"Ha, ha." Li Huailin gave a dry laugh. He didn't want the whole server to know, but the system didn't ask him if he wanted it announced and just went ahead and did it.

"I want to talk to you about that rare pet egg." Lingjie Ye Hang said, "Do you really want it, or what?"

"Hmm..." Li Huailin thought for a moment, "I really want it. Let me put it this way, I've already reserved it."

"Are you interested in selling it? We in Lingjie can buy it at a high price, and the price will definitely satisfy you." Ye Hang considered for a moment and said, as he felt that Li Huailin always seemed to need money. He sold hidden quests and raised money for various things, so he asked tentatively.

"Hmm... I don't plan to sell it." Li Huailin thought for a moment and said, "Although I don't know what quality the pet egg is, it should be good. I don't have a pet right now, and I need it."

"Alright..." Ye Hang was a bit at a loss. After a while, he asked, "If our Lingjie members also participate in the pet egg quest, would you mind?"

"To be honest, I don't mind who comes. Since it's a competition, there will definitely be other competitors. But I'm not afraid. If your Lingjie members want to come, they can, but I can't guarantee that nothing will happen. If it ruins our friendship, don't blame me." Li Huailin said.

"Are you determined to go all out?" Ye Hang smiled and said.

"I've already said it, I'm determined to get that pet egg." Li Huailin said again.

"Understood. I'll talk to the guild leader and see if we should participate." Ye Hang thought for a moment and said, "Let's leave it at that for now. We'll contact you if there's any update."

"Alright." Li Huailin said.

After hanging up, Li Huailin looked to the side and saw Hongchen Yan Yu also on a remote call. She was still chatting, probably with someone in the guild, possibly Hongyue or Hongse Xueyin, reporting the recent situation.

Hongyan He Shui was at the pet home counter turning in a task. She had already completed all the tasks of feeding, playing with, and cleaning up after Xiaoyutou, and was now reporting her work and receiving contribution points.

"Huh? What should I do now?" Li Huailin suddenly thought. The rare pet egg quest was 48 hours away, which was two days. He checked the duration of his "Shameless Rogue" buff, which was 55 hours, about two and a half days. This meant he couldn't drink blood bottles to level up, as it would be a loss. Since Li Huailin couldn't level up in the usual way, killing monsters was basically meaningless. He really had nothing to do for the next two days.

"The only urgent matters are two: the pet and the deed." Li Huailin thought, "The pet issue is temporarily resolved, and I just need to wait for the quest in two days. The remaining task is to find the deed, but with no information, it's really difficult."

"Brother, I'm back." Just as he was thinking about what to do, Hongyan He Shui had completed her task and returned to Li Huailin's side.

"Done? How many contribution points did you get?" Li Huailin was still a bit concerned. After all, according to the usual standards, Hongyan He Shui had done an excellent job, taking care of the pet's feeding, playing, and cleaning. He wondered how many contribution points she would get.

"29 points." Hongyan He Shui said, "The receptionist just told me that I only need 50 contribution points to officially adopt Xiaoyutou. If I come back tomorrow and take care of Xiaoyutou for one more day, I can take him home."

A white pet egg also costs 50 contribution points, and Xiaoyutou is worth that much. White pets are ornamental and don't occupy the pet slot, and there's no limit to how many you can have.

"Only 29 points?" Li Huailin almost choked. If 30 points are needed for a white pet egg, it takes 2 days; a green pet egg needs 300 points, which is 10 days of work; a blue pet egg needs 60 days, which is about two months; a golden pet egg needs 333 days, which is about a year; and a purple pet egg needs 1666 days, which is about four and a half years. This wasn't just a scam; it felt like they couldn't be friends anymore.

"What kind of scam is this place? Are these daily tasks for humans?" Li Huailin couldn't help but say. To get a pet egg, you need to work for four and a half years. Who has the time to spend 2 hours a day here? Suddenly, Li Huailin felt that getting the pet egg quest was a great thing, feeling like he had gained four and a half years of life.

"Right, can I get contribution points?" Li Huailin suddenly remembered that he had already killed the dog he adopted. According to his usual behavior, he should still get contribution points, and he wondered if he could get more. With this thought, Li Huailin walked to the counter.

"Respected sir, hello." Since Li Huailin's reputation in the pet home was "Respected," the counter attendant was very respectful.

"I'm here to turn in today's daily task. As you can see, the dog I adopted has unfortunately passed away. Considering my significant contribution to reducing carbon dioxide emissions on the entire continent, please give me more contribution points." Li Huailin said casually.

"Sure, no problem." The receptionist nodded.

System message: You have completed today's pet home daily task. Task evaluation: F. You lost 100 experience points and gained 50 contribution points.

"So, doing daily tasks still gives experience. It seems my low evaluation only deducted a little. Otherwise, I might have lost thousands of points." Li Huailin thought, "Only 50 contribution points. If I come every day to harm living beings, I would need to kill 1000 small animals to buy a purple pet. How can I play the game like this? Is this a challenge to become an expert in torturing various animals?"

"I must get that egg." Even if he could use different methods to torture animals every day, Li Huailin felt he couldn't persist for so long. It seemed he had to get a pet egg, or he would have to save up money to buy one. He wouldn't help with the work anymore.

"Shui'er, are you done? The sister is calling us." At this moment, Hongchen Yan Yu ended her call and walked over.

"Huh? What does the sister want?" Hongyan He Shui asked.

"To clear the Hell-level dungeon." Hongchen Yan Yu said, "This morning, the sister and her team cleared the normal version of the Borone dungeon. It felt quite easy, and with the fire resistance gear, the sister handled it very well. So, she called us to clear the Hell-level dungeon."

"Huh? They cleared it so quickly?" Hongyan He Shui had heard that the guild was working on this dungeon this morning, but based on past experience, clearing a new dungeon usually took a long time, at least a couple of days to clear one boss. Hongyue wasn't leading the main team, so she didn't expect to clear it in one go. She just wanted to use the backup team to observe the boss skills to avoid the main team losing levels. But she didn't expect them to clear it in one morning.

"Yes, it seems the fire resistance gear is really useful." Hongchen Yan Yu was also a bit surprised when she first heard the news.

"Huh? I finally got a chance to come out with Brother... Oh, Brother, why don't you come with us to clear the dungeon?" Hongyan He Shui said.

"Hmm..." Li Huailin thought for a moment. He indeed had nothing to do now. The pet issue was temporarily resolved, and there was no news about the deed. If he cleared the Hell-level dungeon, he would get some experience, and there might be a chest with the deed inside.

"Ask Hongyue if they are clearing the Hell-level dungeon." Li Huailin thought and said to Hongchen Yan Yu.
