An hour passed by unknowingly. Lufeng glanced at the mission prompt, then activated team follow, forcing Wang Xiaojing and others to keep pace with him as they headed towards Luoyang and Zhou Tianshi.
Upon seeing Lufeng again, Zhou Tianshi congratulated him, saying, "Congratulations! Your martial arts have reached a new level! Progress step by step to achieve greatness!"
Lufeng was not there to hear Zhou Tianshi's congratulations. Calmly, he stated his purpose for the visit: "I've heard that uprisings are becoming more frequent everywhere?"
Zhou Tianshi's expression changed slightly as he replied slowly, "Yes, with the outbreak of war, uprisings have increased, and the common people are suffering as a result. After all, we are one nation, and peace across the land is a shared wish. However, rebels keep appearing endlessly. With your current skills, you should contribute to the nation."
"Of course! The rise and fall of the nation concerns us all!" Lufeng patted his chest and declared passionately.
"Good, good, good!" Zhou Tianshi repeated three times, stroking his white beard before continuing, "Since you are so brave and extraordinary, I will introduce you to someone—Li Fan from Luoyang. She despises evil fiercely; you can ask her about the invading Thief Soldiers."
"Thank you! I take my leave!" Lufeng cupped his hands in gratitude and accepted this mission—【Invasion of Bandits】.
Mission objective: Find Li Fan in Luoyang City and inquire about the Invasion of Bandits.
Seeing Lufeng's gesture of cupping his hands, Gao Chao couldn't help but laugh, "Boss, you're really becoming more and more like a hero; even your bowing has improved—impressive!"
"Stop with the sarcasm; today we’re heading into a dungeon. Don’t slack off! If we manage to get a Storekeeper's Secret, we’ll really hit it big!" Lufeng said with a calm smile.
Lufeng threw out this bait, and Qin Shou and others were eagerly anticipating it. However, Shopkeepers were not that easy to deal with. In his previous experience playing Heavenly Dragon, Lufeng had only encountered Shopkeepers twice. But thinking back on it made him feel frustrated. Getting a Shopkeeper when the store was already full was disheartening; it was like discovering that what you thought was jade turned out to be just an ordinary stone—only those who have experienced it would understand.
Fortunately, Lufeng managed to sell it off eventually and couldn't help but sigh at how many fools there were.
Seeing Gao Chao and others' longing for the Storekeeper's Secret, Murong Xiaoxiao quietly asked Wang Xiaojing, "What is it used for?"
"To open a shop!"
"To open a shop?"
Wang Xiaojing smiled slightly and said, "You'll understand gradually; I can't explain it clearly!"
Before long, Lufeng and the others found Li Fan under a large banyan tree. The next moment, all the male companions were stunned...
Li Fan resembled a celestial being, dressed in a pink outfit, with hands like delicate willows, skin like jade, a neck like a swan, teeth like white jade, a face like a silver plate, eyes like water apricots, lips naturally red without makeup, and a graceful figure. She gave off an impression of purity and natural beauty. One word could express the feelings of Lufeng and others: beautiful!
Seeing such a fairy, even Lufeng, who was used to encountering many beauties, felt a bit nervous. Looking into her clear eyes, Lufeng spoke without any flattery, slowly stating his purpose: "Hello, I was sent by Zhou Tianshi to learn about the Rebel invasion."
Li Fan gently parted her lips, showing no sign of emotional fluctuation, and calmly said: "Since it was Zhou Tianshi who introduced you, I will share some information about the Thief Soldiers. The following knowledge should be very helpful to you!"
After speaking, Li Fan gestured with her right hand in front of her, revealing information about the Invasion of Bandits:
1. The "Invasion of Bandits" event, commonly known as "repeat" allows participants to gain a large amount of Experience, as well as rewards such as gems and even the legendary Storekeeper's Secret.
2. Time: Three times daily, each lasting for 1 hour. The specific times are:
13:00 - 14:00, 15:00 - 16:00, 17:00 - 18:00
3. To participate in the event, you must form a team of at least three people. After the event starts, go to any of the following five locations: Taihu, Songshan, Wuliang Mountain, Sword Pavilion, or Dunhuang, and find the “Rebellious Thief” NPC. The team leader must converse with the Rebellious Thief. If all team members are nearby and say "Am I afraid of you...," they can enter the Dungeon—the outdoor Bandit Camp.
4. In the Dungeon, after finding and killing 30 “Thief Soldier,” a boss named “Wild Bandit Chief” will appear. Defeating the boss will teleport the team out of the Dungeon. This completes one round of repeat. During the one-hour event duration, you can attempt as many rounds as possible.
5. Note: During the event time, there will be 100 Rebellious Thief present in each of the five locations. Once a team interacts with a specific Rebellious Thief and enters the Dungeon, that particular Rebellious Thief will disappear. Therefore, your team must quickly locate a Rebellious Thief and enter the Dungeon, or someone else may take it.
Lufeng glanced around slightly; aside from the increased number of Rebellious Thief and decreased event frequency, it was basically the same as in Heavenly Dragon.
Seeing that Li Fan had nothing more to say, Lufeng nervously asked: "Um... about the Haoyu Female Hero..."
Faced with such beauty, he didn't know how to proceed with his mission; it felt like communication had become difficult.
Noticing this from Lufeng, Li Fan lightly brushed her long sleeves and slowly said: "To walk in the martial world is to be a true hero; you need not be so reserved. How can one become an admired hero?"
Lufeng, confused about what Li Fan meant but still replied: "When seeing injustice on the road, one should shout out; when it's time to act, one should act."
Li Fan shook her head: "Not at all! Bravery without wisdom is not a path forward; reckless shouting only invites trouble. One must help those in need within their capabilities; that is what makes a true hero. Otherwise, one will only feel short-lived heroism and bid farewell to their homeland in silence. Such heroes are not true heroes; how can someone who cannot protect themselves claim to uphold justice? Isn't that just pretentious?"
"Uh..." Lufeng and others were stunned by Li Fan's bold words.
"I know there are many people who urgently need the help of skilled martial artists. I've heard a lot about Lufeng, and I wonder if you would be willing to lend a hand? These acts of chivalry won't take too much time, and they will greatly benefit your training!" Li Fan continued.
Lufeng quickly nodded and said excitedly, "I am willing, very willing, a million times willing!"
Li Fan couldn't help but smile slightly, "That's great! Recently, the Thief Soldiers have been invading fiercely everywhere. We really need someone like you. Here is a Heavenly Spirit Pill for you, as a token of our meeting."
"Thank you!" Lufeng said gratefully, as another Heavenly Spirit Pill that doubles Experience was added to his backpack.
Seeing Lufeng so enthusiastic, Li Fan continued to remind him, "Those Thief Soldiers invade in teams. As long as you defeat their leader, they will scatter like birds and beasts. The Rebellious Thief only appears at specific times each day. Whenever an Invasion of Bandits occurs, the court will announce it to the world (System Announcement). So, as long as you bring your ears and arrive on time at the five major locations where the Thief Soldiers will appear, you can wipe out those Rebellious Thief!"
Although Li Fan was quite talkative, who could blame her for being a beauty? Lufeng was not at all annoyed and nodded in response, "Understood!"
Seeing Lufeng so agreeable, Li Fan thought for a moment and said, "You seem overly eager; it's not like you're going on a blind date. Is it necessary to be this excited? Forget it; since there isn't a Training Ground, and it seems difficult for you to succeed without it, I will recommend you to the Rebel Thief Guide in Songshan. If you find him, you can familiarize yourself with tactics at the Training Ground set up in Songshan, which will help you face the real Invasion of Bandits!"
Lufeng was almost moved to tears and said even more excitedly, "Thank you!"
Seeing Lufeng like this, Li Fan couldn't help but shake her head, "Go now; don't keep daydreaming about me, or I'll revoke your mission!"
Lufeng and the others were speechless: "……"
