Chapter 80.3

Editor: Kat

Ever since Wei Xun entered the Travel Services, his pursuit of excitement had become more extreme. Of course, there were also “gecko packages” sold by the Travel Services. The quality was definitely better than that in reality, and it was much cheaper than the spider web climbing rope that cost 100 points per meter.

However, Wei Xun still chose the climbing rope, as he did not intend to use it as a climbing rope.

‘It’s done!’

The fox cub was panting. As a ferret, it was really difficult for it to conduct a search on such a large corpse. At this time, it was also a little regretful. If this person hadn’t died, it could have easily controlled them to search for themself.

Wei Xun quickly picked up a stone of a suitable weight and patiently wound it with the spider web climbing rope until it looked like a large golf ball. Then, he swung the rock-bound climbing rope like a cowboy’s lasso. He was satisfied with the weight.

He retracted the rope and walked towards the ferret cub. He saw a few things placed by the rock wall, most of which were items that Tibetans carried with them, and only two things were special. One was a metal whistle carved with a quaint tiger head, which was used by the Tibetans to control the strange beast.

The other was a brooch made of gold, with a bird head and a human figure.

“The Golden-Winged Great Peng?”

Wei Xun raised his eyebrows. The Golden-Winged Great Peng was similar to a Garuda. Except for the Garuda at the Sanchi Ruins in India, which was a normal bird, in other places, including the cultural relics excavated from the ancient Xiangxiong ruins, most of the Garudas were large. They had a head, beak, wings, and claws, but their body and limbs were the same as those of humans. It looked almost identical to this small gold statue.

How could a Tibetan carry this kind of thing with them? Were they trying to use the Golden-Winged Great Peng to guard them against the Insects of Evil?

However, he was frightened to death too quickly. Wei Xun could not check whether he really did not show signs of poisoning like Ji Hongcai.

That was to say, those Tibetans were likely to be related to the ancient Kingdom of Xiangxiong, and they also had some secret methods passed down from ancient times, such as controlling wild animals, and how to avoid the Insects of Evil.

So, what role did they play in this tour, and what surprises would they bring?

At this moment, the Travel Services’ prompt sounded in Wei Xun’s ear.

[Beep! Your esteemed self discovered the coat of arms of the Golden-Winged Great Peng, which officially triggered the tour’s main task! Your esteemed self has obtained 500 points]

Wei Xun was stunned for a moment. The term “main task” was a bit familiar. He remembered that when he collected three items of Pingping’s when he was in Intoxicating Xiangxi, the Travel Services also reminded him that he had triggered the “main task” of the tour. However, because he had personally experienced the crying marriage attraction, and the Travel Services found that it wasn’t easy to calculate his points, there was no follow-up to the so-called main task of the tour.

Couldn’t only tour guides trigger the main task of the tour? Could tourists do it too?

One had to admit that the attitude of the Travel Services towards the tourists was much better than their attitude towards the tour guides. Wei Xun had experienced it back then. Wei Xun didn’t have to ask specifically, and the Travel Services told him all the information related to the main task of the tour.

There was only one main task in a tour, and it could only be started by either a tour guide or a tourist. And the condition was that one must have triggered the task of opening new scenic spots or had opened up branch scenic spots to a certain extent.

The main task of the tour was only related to the core characters of the tour that served as their guides, and the conditions to trigger the task were also related to them. For example, the tour introduction of Intoxicating Xiangxi was [Let’s walk the life of Pingping, the corpse chaser]. Wei Xun completed the task of opening up new scenic spots. After killing various zombified flying foxes, he obtained some items of Pingping, thus successfully triggering the main task of the tour.

At this time, the strange Tibetan Wei Xun encountered, and the coat of arms of the Golden-Winged Great Peng found from this corpse must also have a lot to do with the descendant of the eagle flutist. This was why he could trigger the main task of the tour.

The conditions for completing the main task of the tour were very harsh. Only when you discovered all the secrets of the entire tour, alone, could you be considered successful. When Wei Xun was in Intoxicating Xiangxi, although all the scenic spots and attractions were completed perfectly, the secret of Cordoned-off Village was not completely solved.

For example, why Old Chief Ma was killed by a black Jiangshi, and where the village chief obtained the Jiangshi raising and the soul transfer carving techniques, there were still many such mysteries. On that Extremely Dangerous-level tour, it was almost impossible to solve all the mysteries alone.

Even in a Difficult-level tour, it was basically impossible to complete the main task of the tour, because the Travel Services did not provide hints of places such as “Black Tangra Yumco,” “The Secret of the Dragon God Waterway,” etc.

The Travel Services only prompted one when they obtained key items, showed one’s progress and did not provide any other reminders. And on the tour, it was impossible to return to the previous scenic spots. Based on the itinerary, the tour group had to move forward to each scenic spot individually, and once mistakes were made, there was no way to go back and make up for them.

It was necessary to have extremely meticulous reasoning ability, not to miss the slightest clue, to have the absolute right to speak in the entire tour group, to have enough strength, and extraordinary luck to complete the main task of the tour.

This difficulty was even comparable to opening a tour of the 30th Parallel North. In the entire history of the Travel Services, there were no more than ten tour guides and tourists who had completed the main task of a tour. Except for the deceased, all of them were now the most powerful people standing at the top.

It was because the rewards for completing the main task of the tour were extremely rich!

There was a reward that could allow one to upgrade the level of any title, and one could obtain a powerful prop that surpassed the range of props one could obtain for their rank, which could improve with one’s strength. And it would be the most suitable equipment or weapon for them.

It was said that An Xuefeng’s well-known weapon, Homeward Knife, which accompanied him in battles everywhere he went, was the reward he obtained after completing the main task of a tour.

I wouldn’t find it unpleasant to have more good props.

Wei Xun was excited as he put the coat of arms of the Golden-Winged Great Peng and other things into the young fox’s belly. Then, he walked to the edge of the cave’s cliff.

In front of him was a bottomless pitch-black hole. A whirling wind blew from the hole, making him shudder. Even people who were not afraid of heights must have great courage to stand here.

However, Wei Xun was thinking that if there was wind, it proved that the bottom of this huge hole was not closed, and there might be a side channel that led somewhere below.

After settling the matter with regard to the golden mosquito, he planned to go down to the bottom of the hole to have a look.

Humans had an endless desire to explore the sky above their heads and the deep-sea caves beneath their feet. Wei Xun was thinking about how happy he would be if he jumped down from this hole.

I just happen to be short of a handy weapon——and I’m lacking one for my tour guide identity, and one for my tourist identity. They should give me two types of handy weapons. This is not too much to ask for.

Wei Xun imagined this beautiful matter in his heart repeatedly as he turned around. His feet were half off the cliff, and he slowly leaned back and fell. He wanted to jump into the hole while lying on his back.

“No, it’s not exciting enough.”

Halfway down, Wei Xun straightened his waist and stood up. He thought that he would rarely have the opportunity to jump down a giant hole in his life, which must be a precious experience that he would keep reminiscing about in the future. Therefore, Wei Xun was very solemn. He tried falling down at multiple angles, before finally settling on one. Then, he faced the abyss and jumped down.

Wei Xun wanted to record his heroic appearance at this moment, but unfortunately, no professional photographers could capture his jumping figure, nor could he leave a video so that Wei Xun could reminisce over and over again——Wait!

He had a brilliant idea!

Wei Xun took out an ordinary flashlight. It was not very bright, and the light could only illuminate a distance of about 50 meters. But in any case, Wei Xun found an angle to prop it up and laid it flat on the cliff. At best, this light could shine on Wei Xun’s trouser legs, and the audience in the livestream room still couldn’t even see Wei Xun’s face.

Wei Xun was even more excited when he thought of doing this kind of thing under the eyes of thousands of viewers, with the Travel Services’ livestream room recording everything.

In particular, he couldn’t expose the spider web climbing rope. After all, he was a newcomer tourist. It stood to reason that it was impossible for the flashlight to illuminate the scene for the livestream room. After he jumped down, the livestream room would quickly become dark, but there was a possibility that he might be exposed.

However, Wei Xun became even more excited. His eyes seemed to be glowing, he couldn’t stop smiling, and his breathing was a little quickened.

The audience in the livestream room was puzzled.

[Why didn’t he use the bright flashlight? What can he see with this little silly piece of shit?]

[I seem to have heard the roar of a beast just now! Is Wei Xun alright? Did he get hurt? I’m dying to know, I’m dying to know!]

[That beast should have left. There is no way to investigate that hole in the front. Even if one had a drone, it would be difficult for it to take off on the highlands. Not to mention that Wei Xun can’t carry a drone with him]

[It’s a pity, as there must be something good in this giant cave. If Wei Xun doesn’t go down, he may not be able to complete the main task of the tour]

[No, are you new fans really so brainless? Why are you even thinking about the main task of the tour??]

[Wei Xun is just a newcomer! I laughed so hard. How could you think he could complete the main task of the tour? Let him complete the whole tour before we discuss that!]

[I don’t want to say this, but those who can charge and complete the main task of the tour are usually “newcomers” who have joined a large tour party and have sufficient preparations and props to support them. Even if I am a fan of Wei Xun, and even if I admit that Wei Xun is really powerful, I never thought that he would be able to complete the main task of the tour.]

[Hey, I’ll just put this sentence out. If he can complete the main task of the tour here, I’ll simply call him grandfather. I’m afraid that those big tour parties will also have to treat Wei Xun as their grandfather!]

[As a matter of fact, it is impossible for Wei Xun to complete the main task of the tour just by seeing the appearance of this giant underground. Who would jump down? Only “Lizard Count” can climb such a giant hole that doesn’t have any holes as a foothold, and a surface that is so smooth]

[Tsk, tsk, the more you guys discuss, the more outrageous I feel this discussion is steering towards. Lizard Count is an S-class tour guide in the western region! Is Wei Xun even worthy of being compared to him? I think you are all trying to pull aggro for Wei Xun. One must have some self-awareness. Why is he still standing here? It is impossible for him to jump down, why doesn’t he hurry to explore other ruins——]

[?????]

[!!!!!!]

The livestream room was suddenly covered with explosive question marks and exclamation marks, and there was no other commentary in the barrage. It was like the whole livestream room was filled with a group of people whose minds were blank because of shock. People who entered the livestream room for the first time were confused, and there were comments asking what happened, but exclamation marks suppressed them for a second.

That was, until a “cash user’s” rainbow-colored comment topped the livestream room.

[HE JUMPED!!!!]

The author has something to say:

Sob, sob. Little angels, I was knocked down by my great aunt [teary], I’m really sorry for writing so unusually slow today TAT.
