Chapter 41 – The quest of the pharmacist, the Abyss gap! ?


    ?


    “Ding, welcome back to [Origin].”?


    ?


    With a light, Su Ming’s figure appeared at the birth point.?


    ?


    “Let’s finish the hidden quest today.”?


    ?


    Su Ming directly went to the pharmacy.?


    ?


    A few minutes later, he reached the street where the pharmacy was located, and the pharmacist, Ron, was standing there with a sad face.?


    ?


    “Uncle Ron, do you know who is the owner of this ring?”?


    ?


    Su Ming took out [Blood-stained ring].?


    ?


    “Adventurer, please don’t disturb me…”?


    ?


    Pharmacist Ron was impatient, but when he saw the ring in Su Ming’s hand, his eyes became red. He quickly reached out and grabbed the ring.?


    ?


    “This, this is Murphy’s ring!” Ron was extremely excited. He looked at Su Ming and asked with trembling lips, “Adventurer, please tell me where you found this ring.”?


    ?


    ” [Wraith of Hills] dropped it after death.”?


    ?


    Su Ming calmly replied.?


    ?


    He was very clear about the details of the quest, and naturally, he knew that this ring belonged to Ron’s daughter.?


    ?


    However, the quest process still needed to be followed.?


    ?


    “I already said a long time ago that I wouldn’t let Murphy go to the mountains to collect herbs, but she just wouldn’t listen to me.”?


    ?


    “No, it’s all my fault. I shouldn’t let her gather medicine by herself…”?


    ?


    Ron’s eyes were dull, and he was muttering.?


    ?


    The ring appeared on [Wraith of Hills], indicating that his daughter… had been brutally killed.?


    ?


    Then Ron took out a bottle of potion to wash the ring, and in the blink of an eye, the surface of the ring glowed with a shimmer.?


    ?


    In the next moment, many medicinal herbs appeared on the ground.?


    ?


    This ring was a space ring.?


    ?


    “Wait, is this a demon’s finger?! Damn demons, you must have killed my daughter!”?


    ?


    As Ron was looking at the herbs, unexpectedly, he found a finger that emitted a wisp of black gas.?


    ?


    Endless anger could be seen on his face.?


    ?


    However, Su Ming felt that it was strange. Logically speaking, the pharmacist’s daughter was an ordinary person. How could she have killed a demon? Could it be that she picked it up from the ground??


    ?


    What was her goal? Did she want to prove that a demon killed her??


    ?


    The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this move of placing a demon finger in this space ring was intentional.?


    ?


    At this moment, Ron’s words interrupted his thoughts.?


    ?


    “Adventurer, may I ask you one thing?”?


    ?


    “Go ahead.”?


    ?


    “Help me find the demon who killed my daughter and kill it!!”?


    ?


    Ron’s voice was hoarse as he pleaded.?


    ?


    As soon as he finished speaking, a system notification sounded.?


    ?


    “Congratulations on triggering the hidden quest [Demon Crisis (2)]. Do you accept this mission?”?


    ?


    “Accept!”?


    ?


    Su Ming decisively accepted the quest.?


    ?


    [Demon Crisis (2)]?


    ?


    Difficulty: Silver?


    ?


    Type: Serial Quest -2nd part?


    ?


    Quest description: Pharmacist Ron asks you to avenge his daughter Murphy. Go to the Hills Mountains, find the demon who killed Murphy, and kill it/them.?


    ?


    Requirements: Kill???? Only [Unknown Demonic Creature].?


    ?


    After looking at the quest description, Su Ming looked at Ron and said, “Uncle, can you show me this demon finger?”?


    ?


    Hearing this, Ron handed over the demon’s finger.?


    ?


    Su Ming used the detection abilities of the player.?


    ?


    [Finger of the Demon Soldier]?


    ?


    Demon soldiers were the true soldiers of the Abyss Demons. Demons such as the Ghoul Demon, the Split-tooth Wolf Demon, and the Blade Demon… These types of demons, in the eyes of the Higher-Demons, were all hybrids and trash.?


    ?


    In every battle, the Abyss Demons would first send out a hybrid demon army to attack. When the enemy’s strength was exhausted, then they send out orthodox demon soldiers to attack.?


    ?


    However, there were no demon soldiers in Hills Mountain Range. They existed in [Abyss Gap] where the Abyss World and the Main World intersected. It was also the transit point for the Abyss Demons to dispatch their soldiers.?


    ?


    In his previous life, the player who had accepted this mission had spent a huge price to sweep through all the demons of the Hills Mountain Range before he obtained the item that led to the [Abyss Gap].?


    ?


    Subsequently, Su Ming bid farewell to the pharmacist.?


    ?


    He walked toward the Hills Mountain Range.?


    ?


    Su Ming’s goal was very clear. He was going to complete the hidden mission!?


    ?


    ……?


    ?


    On the way, Su Ming kept using healing spells for two reasons.?


    ?


    First, it was to obtain a 50% increase in movement speed of [Fast Forward].?


    ?


    Second, it was to get new BUFFs.?


    ?


    In less than 8 minutes, Su Ming arrived at Hills Mountain Range.?


    ?


    This was because [Fast Forward] had already reached the 20th layer. After using the skill, his movement speed increased by 200% for 3 seconds.?


    ?


    Su Ming’s Agility had reached 269. With the boost of [Fast Forward], it was no exaggeration to say that he was 10 times faster than normal players in terms of speed.?


    ?


    He also got a new buff.?


    ?


    [Mega Power-BUFF]?


    ?


    Quality: Black Iron?


    ?


    Layers: 40/100?


    ?


    Effect: Increase the player’s strength by 120 points, and when equipped with two-handed melee weapons, physical damage increases by 4%. It lasts for infinity and cannot be removed.?


    ?


    This BUFF was also the first BUFF that provided a useful attribute bonus.?


    ?


    He was a priest. He could use a two-handed melee weapon, but he could not enjoy the attribute bonuses of his equipment.?


    ?


    His strength value attribute skyrocketed to 363 points.?


    ?


    After closing the BUFF panel, Su Ming looked around. There were already many players who were killing monsters here.?


    ?


    Upgrading in the early stage of the game was quite easy.?


    ?


    Most of the players who entered the game in the first batch had already reached level 10.?


    ?


    Su Ming went straight into the woods, looking for the monster he wanted to kill.?


    ?


    The players also saw Su Ming’s back. Soon the news of [Cang Hai] appearing in Hills Mountain Range spread.?


    ?


    After searching for more than ten minutes, Su Ming found his target.?


    ?


    [Demon Commander – Bronze]?


    ?


    Level: 15?


    ?


    Title: Chief?


    ?


    HP: 180,000?


    ?


    MP: 3400?


    ?


    Defense: 1600/750?


    ?


    Skills: Blood Slash LV3, Cruel Strike LV3, Blood Whip LV3?


    ?


    Chief Aura: Within the nearby range, +10% of all attributes of friendly units below its own title.?


    ?


    Dozens of Ghouls followed behind this demon commander.?


    ?


    Suddenly, it stopped, looked at Su Ming’s position, and grinned:?


    ?


    “Stupid human, how dare you come here to die. Kill him for me!”?


    ?


    Just as the voice faded, a group of Ghoul demons rushed over with a weird scream, but Su Ming stood still with a calm expression on his face.?


    ?


    The attack of these level 10 monsters was not even enough to tickle him.
