After equipping the Hidden Weapon, the overall strength of the team improved significantly. Once the level of Hidden Weapon was raised, the increase in attributes would also be quite considerable.
Lufeng couldn't help but glance at the Leaderboard. The first place was already level 34, while he was far behind, ranked outside the top hundred. Royal Beauty had also been surpassed by Ba Dao, and Royal Beauty, Extreme Radiance, and Sima Changfeng had all reached level 33.
Looking at Aunt Wang, who was only level 31, Lufeng felt somewhat relieved. If even someone as capable as her was lagging behind, it was only natural for him to be left behind as well. He found a balance in his thoughts, but if Wang Xiaojing were to find out about this, it would surely cost him dearly.
After checking the level Leaderboard, Lufeng felt more assured. His Fifth Squad was considered top-tier whether in Asking Heaven or in Myth Studio.
Thus, Lufeng decided to first complete the level 30 Story Quest. He activated team follow mode and said while walking, "Tomorrow we will launch a full-scale assault on the Dungeon. Today, let's finish the level 30 Story Quest. It's about time we served the System."
Regarding Lufeng's plan, Qin Shou hesitated to agree: "Now that we have the Hidden Weapon, there's no need to waste time on the Story Quest. We should focus on leveling up and improving the level of our Hidden Weapon."
Lufeng did not respond to Qin Shou, instead looking at Wang Xiaojing and others, asking, "What do you all think? Speak up."
Gao Chao grinned slyly: "I’ll follow the boss; it doesn’t matter what mission we do as long as there are girls around."
"Bah! You’re hopeless; some things never change," Wang Xiaojing retorted.
"I'm easygoing. Anyway, before I hit level 40, I need to learn Gathering Energy and Gathering Qi. Now I've managed to open six out of seven orifices. Lufeng, don’t leave me behind; otherwise, you’ll regret it!" Wang Xiaojing raised her small fist in a show of defiance.
Seeing that Qiu Han and Murong Xiaoxiao remained silent for a long time, Lufeng didn't press further and directly shared his thoughts: "Equipment isn't an issue; levels aren't a distance. Our gear is like a fighter among trash; it's not much different from others. The reason I want to prioritize the Story Quest is that it offers rich rewards in gold and better equipment. Right now, what we lack most are gold and gear, so I believe focusing on the Story Quest is our best direction."
After listening to Lufeng's analysis, Qin Shou nodded inwardly: "Boss, you make sense. I can't argue against that. However, if our levels don't improve, it could be troublesome when Aunt Wang gets upset."
Lufeng laughed heartily: "Don't worry about it. Aunt Wang is only level 31; she will definitely have financial issues for a month. But the gap will gradually widen. Let's just focus on completing missions and steadily reach level 45. By then, Aunt Wang's Handmade should be ready."
Hearing that Aunt Wang was only level 31 made it hard for Qin Shou to believe. He checked the Leaderboard, and there was no ID for Aunt Wang above level 32. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "Great! The boss is always right; you think ahead. I won't voice my opinions anymore."
Seeing the relaxed expression on Qin Shou, Wang Xiaojing teased: "I say, Qin Shou, the worse my brother performs, the more motivated you all become. Your enthusiasm for work is impressive! I see you’ll always be stuck with a minimum salary of five thousand!"
Qin Shou smiled without replying but felt extremely satisfied. For him, as long as he could secure five thousand and follow Lufeng in battling in Asking Heaven, that would be one of life's greatest joys.
While Lufeng couldn't fully grasp what was on Qin Shou's mind, he could guess most of it accurately. However, everyone has their own aspirations; he couldn't meddle in others' affairs or dictate their choices—he simply smiled without saying anything.
The six of them chatted along the way and soon arrived at the Wuhua Altar, seeking out Zhao the Master to inquire about the level 30 Story Quest.
Upon seeing Lufeng arrive, Zhao the Master always begins with some praise before recounting the events that occurred after Lufeng's departure.
"Lufeng, ever since you left Dali City, we Four Great Benefactors have missed you greatly. Every day, heroes from the martial world come seeking to meet you. When they can't find you, they come looking for us four old brothers. We didn't want to delay your journey, so we didn't mention it and let them leave disappointed," Zhao the Master said slowly.
Lufeng chuckled lightly, "Haha, thank you for your concern. Next time someone looks for me, please be sure to let me know. I need to gain more experience."
Zhao the Master smiled slightly, "Alright, just a couple of days ago, A Bi sent a letter. You remember A Bi, right?"
"The girl next to Murong Gongzi?"
Lufeng was quite familiar with the characters from Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, and he was relieved to be able to converse fluently with Zhao the Master; otherwise, he would have been worried about whether he could take on this task.
"Yes, the little girl in all those bright clothes next to Murong Gongzi!" Zhao the Master added.
"No way, you remember that so clearly?" Lufeng was thoroughly impressed and couldn't help but think—there must be some romantic involvement!
Zhao the Master awkwardly smiled and changed the subject, continuing, "She mentioned in the letter that Wang Yuyan, A Zhu, and Prince Duan Yu have encountered some trouble and hope you can help them. You're quite familiar with these three, right? Wang Yuyan is Nan Murong's childhood sweetheart cousin; A Zhu is said to be a close friend from Northern Qiao Peak; and Prince Duan Yu is an old friend of ours. Go find A Bi and get the details. A Bi's Mandarin has improved quite a bit; if she spoke her old Wu dialect, you would probably struggle to understand her!"
Watching Zhao the Master's changing expressions, Lufeng was certain that this old buddy definitely had some romantic involvement with A Bi; otherwise, he wouldn't have brought her up so often with such rich expressions.
Thinking of this, Lufeng smiled slightly and happily accepted the task—[Gusu Murong].
Mission Objective: Find A Bi in front of the Confucius Temple in Suzhou City.
After receiving the mission, Lufeng bid farewell to Zhao the Master and quickly headed toward the Confucius Temple.
At this moment, A Bi was feeling quite frustrated and lost in thought. Upon seeing Lufeng and others arrive, she anxiously said, "Lufeng, you finally came! I've been waiting for you for so long."
Lufeng looked at A Bi and noticed her slightly furrowed brows and a pitiful expression on her delicate face.
"What should I do? What can I do…"
A Bi murmured as if questioning Lufeng or perhaps asking herself.
Lufeng quickly asked A Bi, "What happened?"
A Bi paused and slowly said, "I went to Swallow's Nest with Miss Wang, Sister A Zhu, and Young Master Duan. We encountered enemies from the Qingcheng Sect and the Qin Family Stronghold. Miss Wang, Sister A Zhu, and Young Master Duan are trapped in Swallow's Nest. They asked me to find my young master for help, but unfortunately, my young master is busy with important matters and cannot rush to their rescue. What should we do?"
Lufeng did not respond immediately, organizing the details of the story.
"The longer we wait, the more danger Miss Wang and the others are in. My young master is also very anxious. He has heard of your chivalrous reputation, so he asked me to send a message to Zhao the Master, hoping you could come to help," A Bi pleaded.
Lufeng nodded slightly, "What do you need me to do?"
Seeing that Lu Feng was willing to help, A Bi was overjoyed: "Help my young master go to Swallow's Nest and rescue Miss Wang and the others. They are currently in Swallow's Nest. You need to find Old Gu first; he will take you into Swallow's Nest. Please!"
"Okay!"
Although Lufeng did not know what Swallow's Nest or Return the Water Pavilion was, he decisively accepted the task—Return the Water Pavilion. He had done this mission before while playing Heavenly Dragon, so he was confident there wouldn't be any major mistakes.
Mission Objective: Find Old Gu near the farmland outside the South Gate of Suzhou City and enter Swallow's Nest with his help. Locate Wang Yuyan in the central courtyard of Swallow's Nest.
Soon, Lufeng and his companions found Old Gu outside the South Gate of Suzhou City and entered Swallow's Nest with his assistance.
At this time, it was nighttime inside Swallow's Nest; everything around was pitch black. Lufeng and his companions could only rely on the faint moonlight as they cautiously made their way forward.
After checking the map, they found that Wang Yuyan was in the main courtyard, so Lufeng and his companions carefully approached…
