The Suzhou Grand Warehouse is very close to Qian Hongyu, just a minute's walk away, and with the Flying Dragon, it takes less than 10 seconds to get there.
This feeling of moving at a speed of 100 is amazing. If one day Aunt Wang wants to take it, Lufeng would be reluctant to part with it a thousand times. Once a habit becomes a dependency, it is hard to break free. However, such things won't happen in the studio; better equipment than mounts is plentiful. After reaching level 45, Lufeng will regret having to give up one exquisite piece of equipment after another due to insufficient points, but that is a story for later.
When Lufeng arrived outside Suzhou City, the area was already crowded with people. Many players were running around Qian Hongyu, each with signs looking for teammates:
"Level 30 and above, join quickly+++++"
"Looking for a group at level 35?"
"Level 38 and above, with Mindset 20 or higher, join quickly!"
"Come on, anyone who has learned healing skills, instant approval!"
"5=====1, looking for a powerful carefree player!"
...
There were countless advertisements for finding teammates like this, and some loud voices were directly shouting. Qian Hongyu instantly became the liveliest place.
When Lufeng and the others arrived riding the Flying Dragon, it sparked discussions among many players; it was impossible to keep a low profile.
The Flying Dragon circled above Qian Hongyu, allowing Lufeng to accept or turn in quests without dismounting, saving quite a bit of trouble.
"I am Lufeng, nice to meet you, Captain Qian!"
Qian Hongyu is the Suzhou Captain, the issuer of the Three Circles Mission. Dressed in armor and wielding a heavy sword, he exudes an impressive presence reminiscent of a general. Upon hearing Lufeng speak to him, he showed no signs of confusion. He subtly used his mind to understand Lufeng's general situation and slowly said, "Are you the hero invited by Zhou Tianshi?"
Lufeng nodded and continued, "Indeed, you are impressive. I have finally awaited your arrival! On behalf of the citizens of Suzhou, I thank you!"
"The words are too much, this is what I should do!" Lufeng replied with a smile.
Qian Hongyu nodded, "Yes, that's right. I won't waste time with you. You must have heard of the Traitorous Scum. This dangerous individual has been a menace to Suzhou City and our entire Great Song Dynasty. Until this threat is eliminated, public anger will not subside. I invited you here to request your help in eliminating this great menace. The Traitorous Scum has been roaming the borders, surrounded by numerous Pseudo Song Soldiers guarding him, along with a Commander and a Vice Commander directing the camp's defenses. If we rush in recklessly, we will surely suffer heavy losses. The court has ordered that a Training Ground be established for the heroes heading to the border to practice how to deal with this Traitorous Scum!"
"Lufeng, Young Hero, this mission to eliminate the Traitorous Scum is of great importance, so please take it seriously! Once you are prepared, let me know, and I will send you to the Training Ground," Qian Hongyu reminded.
"Understood!" Lufeng nodded in response, accepting the mission—[Eliminate Residual Toxin].
Mission Objective: Enter the Song-Liao Border Training Ground through Qian Hongyu's portal and find the Runner Guide within the Training Ground.
Afterward, Lufeng exited the team and asked Murong Xiaoxiao to wait nearby while he and Wang Xiaojing completed this act first. Lufeng relied on Sunglasses Cat's advantage to finish the training before letting Murong Xiaoxiao proceed, thus making the most efficient use of time.
Upon entering the Song-Liao Border, Lufeng witnessed one of the world's nine great wonders—snow falling in June. It was currently summer; however, Wen Tian World created a scene of all four seasons. At that moment, heavy snow was falling in Song-Liao Border, giving a vivid sensation. If it weren't for the unchanged air temperature, Lufeng would truly believe he had entered a winter world.
While Lufeng was looking around, the Runner Guide finally spoke up: "Lufeng, Young Hero, you have finally arrived. Let me introduce you to the strategies for this Song-Liao Border..."
"No need for that; I'm already familiar!" Lufeng quickly interrupted to avoid another lengthy monologue from the NPC.
The Runner Guide insisted, "I must introduce it... unless you can tell me the strategy!"
Lufeng smiled calmly: "First eliminate the Pseudo Song Soldiers outside the camp, then take down the Pseudo Song Army Commander. After that, some Pseudo Song Soldiers will disguise themselves as fleeing Bandit Army members trying to escape to the mountains across from us. Their escape route will pass over two stone bridges; I just need to wait on the bridges and eliminate any fleeing Bandit Army members to lure out the Pseudo Song Army Deputy Commander. Once I've dealt with all Pseudo Song Soldiers and both Commanders, I can draw out Residual Toxin and kill him to complete my mission."
After hearing Lufeng's response, the Runner Guide nodded: "Not bad; your analysis is correct. Ultimately, it's about grasping enemy movements and not letting any enemy escape! Otherwise, the entire offensive plan will fail. I'm sure you're aware of all bandit distributions; handle it as you see fit. Additionally, this mission is not only about eliminating Traitorous Scum but also a crucial condition for starting the Bamboo Forest Mission. Only by defeating Residual Toxin and taking his head can you proceed to Suzhou's Hua Mu Yu to initiate the Bamboo Forest Mission. However, I've already informed Flower Sword Rain about this training; once you kill Residual Toxin here, he will know your situation—oh? Why did you fall asleep? Alright then! I've activated the mission; Pseudo Song Army Commander has led many Pseudo Song Soldiers into appearance. Please hurry and go eliminate them!"
"Thank you! Farewell!" Lufeng said with a cupped fist gesture.
"Don't worry, I'm just a minor character; you won't see me again!"
Lufeng quickly glanced at the mission he had taken on, which required eliminating the Residual Toxin. He couldn't be bothered to argue with the Runner Guide any longer, so he summoned his flying dragon and headed toward the center of the Training Ground.
As for Not a single one can escape, Lufeng had already completed it hundreds of times during his time in Heavenly Dragon without a single mistake. As long as he didn't let the Bandit Army escape, this mission could be completed easily.
Once he grasped the key points, it became a matter of efficiency. For Lufeng, he could save time by riding the flying dragon and directly leading all the Pseudo Song Soldiers at the entrance of the Training Ground to the Commander. With a Roar, he attracted several more Pseudo Song Soldiers, followed by Raging Inferno crashing down. Under a series of flames, the Pseudo Song Soldiers were left in a critically low health state.
At this moment, Lufeng coordinated with Sunglasses Cat; he focused on harvesting the low-health Pseudo Song Soldiers while Sunglasses Cat dealt with the Commander.
A minute later, the Commander and several Pseudo Song Soldiers fell unwillingly. Lufeng hurried to wait on a nearby bridge for the fleeing Bandit Army to pass by.
"Ding—"
System prompt: The Vice Commander of the Pseudo Song Army will appear in front of the camp in one minute.
"Ding—"
System prompt: A batch of disguised fleeing Bandit Army will pass over the bridge; quickly intercept and eliminate them.
This was a critical process; however, since this was a drill, Lufeng didn't need to worry about them escaping. Otherwise, he would have to lure the Commander onto the bridge to prepare before the fleeing Bandit Army arrived. At the same time, before the Commander was defeated, some teammates needed to get to the opposite bridge to form a comprehensive defensive extermination strategy. If even one Bandit Army escaped, the mission would be completely ruined and deemed a total failure. However, in Lufeng's historical records, he had only failed such non-challenging Dungeons once due to a teammate's sudden departure.
Lufeng was fully aware of all this as he arrived at the bridge and swiftly dealt with these Bandit Army members. He then took care of other Pseudo Song Soldiers without any surprises and leveled up to level 39. At this point, there were still several dozen seconds until the Vice Commander appeared, meaning Lufeng had spent less than two minutes on this task.
The rich Experience from the Training Ground is what players desire the most, but Lufeng knows to cherish it. Once inside, they cannot exit midway and must seize the time; if they do not leave within 30 minutes, the Dungeon will automatically close, and this unique, efficient Dungeon will disappear. However, for Lufeng, this is all irrelevant; with less than two minutes left, only two bosses remain.
After a while, the Pseudo Song Army Deputy Commander appeared. Unlike the previous Commander who had a grand entrance, this one was short and stout, with a bulging belly, resembling Zhang Fei. In comparison, the earlier Commander and Guan Yu also bore some resemblance. Unfortunately, once the Commander died, the grand entrance was lost forever, leaving Lufeng with a sigh.
As expected, after just over ten seconds, the Vice Commander was defeated, ultimately leading to the appearance of Residual Toxin.
It was unclear how Residual Toxin knew this, but after all the Pseudo Song Soldiers were defeated, it soared into the air in front of the camp, muttering incessantly: "A bunch of useless trash; I have to do everything myself. Useless!"
Lufeng ignored Residual Toxin's fierce expression. Just as two minutes passed, the cooldown for Raging Inferno ended. He quickly unleashed it along with other skills randomly activated by Sunglasses Cat. In less than 20 seconds, Residual Toxin was defeated.
"Ding—"
System Notification: You have killed Traitorous Scum 1/1.
You gained Experience 19989 and received an Experience reward of 19989.
"Ding—"
System Notification: You will be teleported out of the camp in 30 seconds.
