Xiong Zhiqi returned at dawn, or more accurately, adding the word "teleport" would be more fitting, because he didnt walk back himself. After completing his task, he opened his eyes and found himself directly sitting on the sofa in his own home. As he sat there, Xiong Zhiqi fell asleep, even starting to snore. It seemed that he was also exhausted from the task world. Although he came back alive, its certain that he paid a huge price. After all, the mortality rate of group tasks is the highest, and being able to survive is truly not easy.
In the morning, Xiong Zhiqi was woken up by a fragrant smell, got up from the sofa, and saw Zhao Zhuo frying eggs in the kitchen, with skilled movements, several eggs were flipping in the pan, looking very comfortable.
"Oh, youre awake."
It was a very ordinary greeting, but it contained great depth. Zhao Zhu clearly knew what kind of life Xiong Zhiqi had been living in the past few days, but now that this fatty had returned completely intact, everything was fine.
"Hmm, awake." Xiong Zhiqi poked his head out and looked around for a while, saying: "Are you making breakfast?"
"Sit down first, itll be fine soon." Zhao Zhu said.
"Oh, okay."
Xiong Zhiqi sat back at the dinner table, and Zhu Jianping also got out of bed, rubbing his eyes as he walked out. The two people stared at each other for 10 seconds.
Zhu Jianping first shouted: "Damn it, I knew you wouldnt make it, you stupid fatty! Youve been through so many group tasks, and now youre still... Next time I go on a task, I wont worship the Buddha or Guanyin, Ill come and worship this body of yours!"
"Die, you freak! Why are you in my house!" Xiong Zhiqi also shouted loudly.
"Cut it out, you think I want to? I also have nowhere to live, so Ill just stay with you for now."
"Oh no, got beaten on the butt while being chased?"
"Hmph, the person who hit me is already kneeling."
"He was killed by himself, not by you."
"Alright, no more nonsense, lets eat. After we finish eating, come with me to buy some things." Zhao Zhu said as he brought over three plates of fried eggs.
"Hmm, going to buy vegetables?" Xiong Zhiqi asked, "I just came out of that disgusting task world, going to the vegetable market to buy vegetables seems like a good way to relax."
"Im not going to buy vegetables, I dont want to go out and see women for the time being, otherwise Im afraid I wont be able to control myself." Zhu Jianping declared.
"Hehe, come with me to buy some equipment." Zhao Zhu said while poking at the eggs in his plate with a fork.
"What are you going to do with your equipment?" Xiong Zhiqi swallowed an egg and took a big gulp of milk.
"Go and rob the tomb." Zhao Zhu spat out these three words.
"Pffft." Xiong Zhiqi almost choked on his milk.
Zhu Jianping asked with some confusion: "How did you suddenly have this leisurely and carefree attitude, could it be that you watched the recent youth idol drama The Grave Robbery Note and also had the idea of going to rob graves?"
"Do I have that much free time?" Zhao Zhu sighed, took out his phone, tapped a few times, and placed it in front of Xiong Zhiqi and Zhu Jianping.
This is a group announcement page, and the group owner has just announced an upcoming horror web novel task world and participants:
……
"The Horror Web Novel World: The Dragon Vein of Manchu"
"World Attribute: Unknown Exploration."
"Main Quest: Obtain the Essence of Dragon Vein."
"Side Quest: Unknown."
"Participants: Yan Xing, Wang Ye, Li Liangjian, Huang Tianci, Shi Chong, Xiao Ge, Ma Ruixi, Zhao Zhu."
Under each real name, the ID of the people in the group was added. At 5 oclock in the morning, Zhao Zhu suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if something important had happened. He picked up his phone, entered the group, and took a look at the group announcement. Sure enough... it was finally his turn.
……
"Damn it, a small group task." Zhu Jianping said with a sip of milk.
"Hows the difficulty?" Zhao Zhu asked.
"Generally, the difficulty is directly proportional to the number of participants. The more people participate, the greater the difficulty and naturally, the lower the survival rate. Those 15-man team tasks like Dead Fat are considered to be among the most difficult. Yours is an 8-man task, commonly known as a small team task in the group. The normal casualty rate is around 50%, usually with about 3 people lost, unable to return." Zhu Jianping analyzed.
"No wonder you want to buy equipment, it seems that Manchu Dragon Pulse is indeed going to be used for tomb raiding." Xiong Zhiqi rubbed his head and continued: "Generally, arent the dragon pulses where ancient people built tombs to bless their descendants?"
"Since the name of this task world is 《满清龙脉》, it means that we will probably go to a mausoleum related to the Qing dynasty. Its really like the rhythm of tomb raiding. The big zombies wearing Qing dynasty clothes in the Hong Kong and Taiwan movies we watch now are probably just small fries compared to the ones inside." Zhu Jianping said with a hint of teasing.
"Isnt there a legend that Ha Cheok ignited the Dragon Vein, which led to the rise of the Qing Dynasty and ultimately took over the world? Then whose mausoleum will be on top of the Dragon Vein?" Zhao Zhu had already finished his breakfast in front of him.
"Its hard to say who it belongs to, maybe its Ha Ches fathers, no thats not right, his father was killed by someone and then he went to avenge him. Its also possible that it was given to him by himself or even the Qing emperor who suddenly had a whim and buried it here, its not impossible." said Xiong Zhiqi.
"Fatty, have you realized that what you just said was a load of complete nonsense?" Zhu Jianping sneered without hesitation.
Xiong Zhiqi was left speechless.
"Alright, are you all done eating? Once youre done, come with me to buy some stuff. Things like Luoyang shovel and flashlight. Ill pack them up and carry them on my back. They should be allowed in the task world, right?"
"Submachine guns and hand grenades may not be feasible, but this ordinary equipment should still work. Its best to buy a Swiss army knife for self-defense as well. Bring more food and water too, in case youre directly transported into an ancient tomb and starve to death." said Xiong Zhiqi.
"Alright, lets go, well accompany you to take a stroll. I still know some people here. You can use your points to exchange for items like talismans, cow tears, route-finding incense, or even touch gold symbols or heart-protecting mirrors and other consumable items."
"Its not very useful to find someone for this matter, I had a patient before who was in the business of robbing tombs, and later on he mysteriously got possessed by evil spirits and became mentally ill. Under my treatment, he barely recovered and could go back to living a normal life. Now Im going to look for him, at his place I should be able to get some equipment, and at the very least, I can ask for some experience."
"Its also impossible to just bring a copy of San Shus Grave Robbery Notes or Tian Xia Ba Changs Ghost Blows Out the Light and go in, who knows if the things inside the ancient tomb are the same as the stories they made up." Xiong Zhiqi deeply agreed.
