Chapter 186 - The System Quest
Chapter 186: The System Quest
The moment Li Xing was bound to the system, he danced for joy and excitement as he thought he was Destiny’s Child. At the same time, Lu Wu and Bei Li, who were observing him furtively, burst into laughter.
The special system that Li Xing inherited was undoubtedly Bei Li’s creation.
The purpose of this system was to let Li Xing guide the European server’s growth according to Lu Wu’s will. Li Xing was equivalent to Lu Wu’s spokesperson among the European server players. After all, Lu Wu’s principle ideal was to never go to battle personally.
However, although he was supposed to be Lu Wu’s spokesperson, Lu Wu allowed Cangxu to manage him. He also gave him permission. After all, his main focus was on the highly proficient original server players. Therefore, he did not have much energy left to manage the European server.
As a matter of fact, the system created by Bei Li was not as powerful as Li Xing thought. This was mentioned right when the system was introduced. The system would not interfere with reality but would only aid his growth in the game.
It was difficult for Li Xing to gain any benefit from the system because the difficulty of unlocking the system was proportional to the collective increase of the ability of the European server players.
Lu Wu chose him as the system host because Li Xing was the player with the strongest overall ability among the entire European server now, save for Reinhardt.
It was not easy to become the overall strongest among millions of players in the current European server. He was truly a professional player by definition as he could kill marsh crocodiles with his bare hands on just the third day after the launch of the region.
To nurture a super player who could assume personal responsibility and lead the emergence of the European server was also one of Lu Wu’s reasons in choosing him as the system host.
Another reason was, although Li Xing was a nerd in reality, Lu Wu and Bei Li found that he was the leader of the strongest guild in Storm Legends called Zore.
A top player, coupled with the cheating codes specially given by Lu Wu, he believed that Li Xing would play a significant role in increasing the overall strength of the European server players.
“Wu, what should we do when the Asian server and American server are launched? Do we have to create another system host? Or will we shift to other settings like creating an old man or sage?” Bei Li asked curiously.
Lu Wu put on an ambiguous smile upon hearing her words.
“Don’t you think it’s interesting?”
Bei Li rolled her eyes, “You almost made them believe that they are children of destiny in the world.”
“Hahaha. Just arrange everything as I said!”
In Lu Wu’s point of view, the so-called Destiny’s Children were just old farmers who were helping him to grow his chives.
And as the boss behind the game, his happiness mattered the most.
After a brief celebration, Li Xing took a deep breath before he opened the door.
Upon looking at Li Xing’s blushing face, the delivery man put on an astonished expression.
“Hello, Mister Li Xing. Please sign for the receipt of your gaming pod!”
Li Xing nodded and beckoned the delivery man to bring the gaming pod into his house after pressing his fingerprint.
This time, the delivery man did not carry the pod into the house alone. The delivery man called out the porters in the car and moved the heavy gaming pod into Li Xing’s house.
Also, the delivery man did not help him to install the gaming pod as it was not his job, after all. In the end, Li Xing set about and installed the gaming pod on his own.
Li Xing’s face showed a trace of helplessness upon looking at the three gaming pods. One of them was incompatible and one of them was a vacant shell which carried a system binding, and could not access the game. Only the latest pod was practically usable.
Li Xing entered the gaming pod excitedly and started the game.
The screen turned dim, before it became clear again. His silhouette appeared at the Hidden Dragon Marsh Region where he had gone offline previously.
He heaved a sigh after looking at the marsh crocodiles that had disappeared in the surrounding area. He had spent a few hours wearing down their health. He was a little unhappy that they vanished just like that.
At this moment, the system menu appeared abruptly in front of him.
[Game Multiverse Destiny’s Child System (Stage One: 0/500)]:
Ability One: Monsters Explore Level 1 (able to scout out monsters within 100 yards).
Ability Two: Unknown (Will be activated in the advanced system).
While the menu appeared, he heard the system’s voice again.
[Ding! The host has entered the game! The first wave of system quests has been activated: Rise of the Guild, Path of the Strong, Ruler of the Server!]
[Rise of the Guild (Quest of Beginner Level)]:
Quest Description: Create your own guild and recruit 500 guild members.
Quest Reward: A clue to advance to an inherited character class, and gain 30 system points.
[Path of the Strong (Quest of Beginner Level)]:
Quest Description: Get listed as one of the Top 100 players on the leaderboard for ten consecutive days.
Current Progress: Current Rank – 2nd Place; Duration: 1/10 days.
Quest Reward: A map piece revealing the location of spiritual materials in the Hidden Dragon region, gain 20 system points.
[Ruler of the Server (Quest of Legendary Level)]:
Quest Description: Lead the European server to become the best server among all.
Quest Reward: One million soul coins, gain 150 million system points.
Li Xing was stunned as soon as he read the system menu. Soon, his face beamed with delight as he did not expect that the system could help him find clues that would lead him to the inherited quests.
He certainly understood the value of this inherited quest.
As a professional player, he had studied Battle Online carefully before the European server was launched.
The most valuable things in the game now were the inherited character classes. They were priceless and could not be bought with money. He had seen rich players who offered 30 million to buy an inherited character class, but no one wanted to sell it. It was evident how precious it was.
Li Xing was taken aback when he saw the last quest of legendary level.
One million soul coins? That’s insane!
The trading volume in the European Server Soul Coins Transaction Center was extremely high. The value of a soul coin was skyrocketing.
Other than soul coins that were priced exceptionally high, the other soul coins that were sold at market price or even slightly higher were cleared out by the rich players. Therefore, it was set at a high price but had no demand.
The normal conversation rate for one soul coin in the European server was one to 500. As such, one million soul coins was equal to 500 million euros. Li Xing took a deep breath as this reward was too tempting.
However, Li Xing did not know that this was one of the bargaining chips that Lu Wu offered to lure Li Xing to help build the European server. As for whether the European server would win in the future Server Wars, Lu Wu was not worried at all.
He was very confident in the Beiqi Army of the original server.
Furthermore, even if the European server could really defeat the original server, Lu Wu would not mind paying him the money. What he would gain was far more valuable than one million soul coins.
