nLu Yuan stepped forward and grabbed Noah’s Gem in his hand.

nObtained precious item: Noah’s Gem.

n

n

nNoah’s Gem

nDescription: It possesses great power. It was once an unknown village’s precious treasure, but was snatched away by the blood demons and worshipped as the most valuable treasure in the world. Its effects are unknown, and it has some mysterious powers.

nAs expected, this is the Noah’s Gem that the Village Chief is looking for.

nAll he needed to do now was to pass this gem to the Village Chief and the mission would be completed!

n

n

nLu Yuan took a look at his Stealth state. Remaining time: 1 minute 21 seconds.

nThere wasn’t much time left!

nHe had to hurry back.

nLeaving was easier than coming in as he had already familiarized himself with the route.

n

n

nThus, with his highest speed, Lu Yuan sprinted and quickly left.

nHe ignored the blood demons he encountered along the way. As long as they did not bump into each other, it would be fine. If he did bump into one, it was very likely that they would immediately be alarmed.

nNaturally, Lu Yuan did not want any extra trouble, so he maintained a steady but fast pace.

nSome blood demons could even feel the wind that Lu Yuan stirred up as he ran, but they could not see or sense the presence of anything else, and they were left confused.

nFinally, after running a stretch of the route, Lu Yuan managed to leave the Cave of Death just before the Stealth effect ended.

nHe had just about used up the duration!

n

n

nThis made Lu Yuan feel a lingering fear. He did not expect time to be so tight.

nIt was enough to show how difficult this mission was.

nHowever, thinking about it, the guy that completed this mission in his previous life was probably a genius. He probably used a lot of positioning techniques to study the blood demons’ patrol route thoroughly, which was probably why he succeeded.

nUnlike Lu Yuan, who did the mission simply and crudely by directly ignoring the blood demons.

n…

nSoon, Lu Yuan returned to the central area of the novice village and knocked on the Village Chief’s door a few times.

n“Today’s missions have all been handed out. Come back tomorrow.”

nThe Village Chief’s voice came from inside the house.

n

n

nLu Yuan coughed lightly and said, “Village Chief, it’s me. I’ve brought back Noah’s Gem.”

nJust as Lu Yuan finished speaking, the Village Chief’s door was directly thrown open.

nLu Yuan was directly pulled in by the Village Chief, who then conveniently closed the door!

nHis actions were as smooth as flowing water, and even Lu Yuan could not help but sigh in amazement. The Village Chief was vigorous for his old age, and his movements were still as agile as ever.

n“Where’s the item? Did you just say you brought it back?”

nFor a moment, the Village Chief seemed to be a little anxious and his gaze was firmly locked on Lu Yuan.

nLu Yuan could not help but smile and say, “It’s here.”

nAs he spoke, Lu Yuan took out Noah’s Gem from his backpack.

nWhen it was taken out, it immediately bloomed with a brilliant light. It was a gentle bright yellow light, which was extremely pleasing to the eyes.

nThe Village Chief looked at Noah’s Gem on Lu Yuan’s hand and could not help but widen his eyes.

nHis gaze seemed to be stuck to it, and his entire body trembled slightly.

nThe Village Chief trembled as he stretched out his hand. He was so excited that he could not even speak clearly.

n“This… is… really… Noah’s Gem…”

n

n

nThe Village Chief’s eyes were filled with tears.

nAt this moment, it was as if he was seeing his closest relative once again, whom he had been separated from for a whole 30 years.

nNo, his reaction was even more exaggerated than this.

nLu Yuan even suspected that the Village Chief might faint on the spot.

nLu Yuan said softly, “This is Noah’s Gem!”

nThe Village Chief gently took Noah’s Gem from Lu Yuan’s hand and held them in his palms. He was so excited that he could not speak.

nThe moment he touched it, he could feel the warmth of Noah’s Gem as well as its gentle light.

nThe Village Chief excitedly said, “That’s right! I’m sure! This… This is Noah’s Gem! Noah’s Gem! It’s finally back!”

nThen, the Village Chief abruptly raised his head and said, “Child, you’ve completed the mission with flying colors! Come, these rewards are yours!”

nA golden light flashed.

nCongratulations to the player for completing the hidden mission ‘Retrieve Noah’s Gem’. The mission reward is being distributed.

nCongratulations to the player for obtaining 2,000 EXP, 200 gold coins, Noah’s Dagger!

nThe Village Chief’s favorability towards you has increased by 300! Current favorability is at ‘Fond’!

nFollowing the distribution of the rewards, Lu Yuan felt a warmth on his body, and he directly leveled up again, reaching level 8!

nThe speed of him leveling up could be said to be flying!

nMost importantly, Noah’s Dagger was lying quietly in his backpack.

nNoah’s Dagger

nRarity : Purple

nEquipment Level: Level 10

nDescription: This is a dagger infused with the divine power of Noah’s Gem. It was forged by the best forgers in the village, and it has the power of a mysterious aura.

nEffects : Strength 10, Agility 10, Attack speed 10.

nSpecial Effect: Noah’s Strike.

nNoah’s Strike

nDescription: An intense attack brought about by Noah’s Gem, dealing a powerful blow to the target.

nEffect: When attacking, there is a 10% chance for the player to deal 200% additional damage to the target.

nNote: Equipment can be upgraded, upgrade condition unknown

nLooking at this dagger, Lu Yuan was so happy he almost drooled!

nIt was a purple-grade dagger, and the attributes of the dagger were also very strong.

nOn top of that, it had a special effect that could cause 200% damage, though there was only a 10% chance of dealing such damage, and it was dependent on luck.

nHowever, Lu Yuan noticed that the dagger could be upgraded!

nThis meant that this dagger still had room for growth.

nPerhaps in the future, this dagger would grow into a piece of divine equipment!

nNo wonder in his previous life, the thief who obtained this dagger became a legendary character later on.

nSuch a dagger was simply invincible!

nUnfortunately, Lu Yuan was still only at level 8. He would only be able to equip this dagger when he reached level 10.

nIt just so happened that after he leveled up to level 10, he would be able to leave the novice village and head to the main city.

nThe Village Chief’s mission had been completed. Even if Lu Yuan spoke to him again, it would not trigger anything else.

nAll that greeted his eyes was the scene of the Village Chief giggling while hugging Noah’s Gem.

nAlthough the scene was amusing, Lu Yuan was not willing to waste time looking at the Village Chief giggling.

nLu Yuan left the Village Chief’s house.

nRight now, he needed to properly level up.

nLu Yuan had to be faster than all the players to level up to level 10 so that he could enter Amber City before anyone else.

nThis was because Lu Yuan knew that Amber City had many hidden missions.

nThis was also his advantage.

nIf he let someone else beat him to the draw, he would have nowhere to cry of his regret.

nLu Yuan opened the map. In the east of the novice village, there was a wild forest. In this wild forest, there was a cemetery.

nThis cemetery would spawn skeleton guards that were over level 10.

nThese skeleton guards were just nice for him to level up. They were the most suitable.

nAt the same time, they were also within his training range, his training efficiency would not be low.

nThus, he sprinted along the way.

nThe moment he left the novice village, he could see some players fighting monsters in groups.

nFrom time to time, he would also hear waves of screams. They were either the screams of the players or the monsters.

nOf course, there were also the angry curses of the players.

nLu Yuan ignored them all and directly ran to his destination.

n
