Ye Qiu's heart instantly turned cold. Big sister, I'm asking you because I don't have the confidence. If this was a side mission, I would definitely agree without hesitation. But the key is that this is a f * cking main mission. If I fail, I won't even have the chance to f * cking cry.
This was a gamble, a gamble that involved Ye Qiu's life and generous rewards. Would he accept the challenge from the system?
Ye Qiu really didn't know what to do. In fact, he didn't have to accept this kind of mission anymore. 360 Soul Crystals, five Blue equipment, and a Green mount. No newbie could compare to him. Such powerful equipment and attributes were actually enough.
However, Ye Qiu was unwilling.
More importantly, why did he refuse? Could it be that he wouldn't accept the mission just because it was difficult and dangerous?
For some reason, Ye Qiu's eyes suddenly lit up. He seemed to understand Phantom's meaning.
"Accept!" A smile appeared on Ye Qiu's face. It was as if his state of mind had sublimated in this difficult choice.
"Ding. You have accepted a non-mandatory main quest to defend Lujiang City. Quest content: In the next three days, Liu Bei's army from Sichuan and Shu would lead the army to attack Lujiang City. The Chosen One would need to organize the army guarding Lujiang City to protect the safety of Lujiang City for three days. If any of the four city gates were breached, it would be considered a failure of the mission. [Mission Level: F-class Heaven-defying. Mission Duration: [Three days, mission reward: Unknown.] Punishment for failure: Extermination!"
The interface quickly showed the system countdown: 2 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes and 56 seconds.
What Ye Qiu needed to do was to guard the four gates of Lujiang City for the next three days and not let any of them break through. Only then would it be considered a success.
To be honest, after seeing the mission content, Ye Qiu was a little regretful. Defend the four city gates from being breached? It was simply too difficult. Even for someone like him who had valiant attributes, it was still beyond his ability. After all, a person's strength was limited. No matter how powerful he was, he could only defend one city gate from being broken through. However, the other three... It required the concerted efforts of the soldiers guarding the city.
Ye Qiu would rather kill 10 2-star bosses than do this kind of quest. This quest was obviously something that required one's brain. Ye Qiu wasn't good at it, and he was especially annoyed by it.
Hearing that Ye Qiu had accepted the mission, Sun Bofu immediately clapped and laughed. He continued,"Brother Ye Qiu is indeed straightforward. I didn't misjudge you. This time, I only plan to leave ten thousand soldiers for brother. The remaining soldiers will be led by Gong Jin and I to leave Lu River for other purposes. Therefore, the defense of Lu River City will be very weak. I hope brother Ye Qiu will do his best and not disappoint me!”
Ye Qiu almost cursed. This bastard only left him 10,000 soldiers. This was no longer a scam, it was a scam!
"General, don't worry. I will do my best and not disappoint you.”Ye Qiu's mouth twitched as he resisted the urge to stomp this soul to death.
"Haha, then I'll leave it to brother Ye Qiu.”Sun Bofu was overjoyed. When he saw a servant walking over with a wooden box, he pointed at the wooden box and said,"Brother Ye Qiu, this is what you deserve.”
Ye Qiu didn't bother with formalities. He took the box and opened it. Blue light flashed, as if it was a dream.
Of course, only he and Diao Chan could see this color. In the eyes of others, the things in the wooden box would not glow.
Lying inside the wooden box was a crystal clear blue necklace. The crystal that shone with a soft light was like a crescent moon, shining brightly under the sunlight.
"So beautiful!" Diao Chan sighed in her heart, her eyes filled with hope.
Blue attachment (blue)
Level: 10
[True Qi: 100]
[True Qi Recovery Speed: 0.5]
[HP Recovery: 5]
This was what Ye Qiu saw about the necklace's attributes. True Qi was always what Ye Qiu needed the most at this stage. Without True Qi, it would be difficult to move. When compared to true energy, 0.5 points of true energy recovery per second was almost like a bug.
Ye Qiu's true energy recovery rate was 0.1. If he took the beggar's chicken, his true energy recovery rate would increase by 0.1. Adding this necklace, his true energy recovery rate had reached a terrifying 0.7. This meant that once he summoned Phantom, it would only consume 0.3 points of his true energy per second. After equipping Blue Dependence, his total true energy reached 605 points. After some calculations, Phantom could exist for more than 33 minutes. More than half an hour was enough for Phantom to sweep through a large battlefield.
With this necklace, Ye Qiu began to have some confidence. Perhaps this city defense battle wasn't as difficult as he thought.
After putting away the necklace, Ye Qiu bade farewell to Sun Bofu and led the Red Hare back to the inn.
The experience points gained from the Heaven-defying Level quest were all shared by Red Rabbit, allowing it to instantly level up by two levels, from Level 6 to Level 8. The Level 8 Red Rabbit not only gave its master an additional speed of 8 meters per second, but also provided him with a shield with 720 points of toughness. In addition to his 500-plus HP, this 1,200-plus HP could only be described with one word: abnormal.
The two of them rested in the inn for a while. In the evening, Sun Bofu sent someone to inform the two of them to go to the drill ground to recruit soldiers.
The so-called recruitment of soldiers had long been meaningless. Sun Bofu and Zhou Gongjin had already led tens of thousands of soldiers away from Lujiang River to carry out their respective tasks. Therefore, there were only ten thousand soldiers left in the huge military camp.
If not for the influence of the system, Sun Bofu would not have given this army of over ten thousand to Ye Qiu, much less the entire Lujiang City. Because Ye Qiu had chosen the Yangzhou camp, the system would definitely have given him some troops and used them to attack Sichuan and Shu.
Ye Qiu was being despicable. If he had a good relationship with Sun Bofu, the other party would not have only given him such a small number of troops. It was easier said than done to defend Lujiang City for three days with 10,000 soldiers.
However, it was also because of him that the difficulty of the mission directly reached the highest level.
There were gains and losses. If one wanted to obtain a generous reward, one had to pay something. The risk coexisted with the reward.
The ten thousand strong army was divided into three parts by Ye Qiu, and they were stationed in the north, south, and east parts respectively. For the first time, the formation of the three teams was not chaotic at all. Everything was unstable. This was not something that a small soldier could do.
This was indeed the case. Although the order was given by Ye Qiu, he was only reading it according to Phantom's words.
