Urban Peerless Expert-Chapter 3732 - 3751: Hand Over the Task List, or I’ll Beat You to Death!
The middle-aged man’s expression changed: "I am the staff!"
Lin Chen said with a laugh: "The rules don’t say you can’t spar with the staff, right? The one in the valley is also staff, isn’t he? So aren’t you two different? The principle is the same if I beat him or beat you. If I can beat him, I can definitely beat you. If I can’t beat him, I might still beat you."
"Since that’s the case, why should I run these two hundred miles to fight a clearly stronger opponent?"
The middle-aged man’s face turned even more unsightly: "That’s against the rules!"
Lin Chen laughed: "If there’s no prohibition, it’s permissible. The Great Heaven Deity didn’t say participants can’t hit staff, nor did he say staff can’t let participants choose tasks, right?"
The middle-aged man felt his brain was muddled by Lin Chen’s words. Although it seemed very against the rules, on careful thought, it indeed wasn’t.
Why don’t you play by the rules?
Lin Chen looked at the middle-aged man who didn’t retort, and a bright smile appeared on his face.
It seems it works just as I thought.
It really can be done this way!
If someone gives you a task, and you honestly go to complete it, that task might be easy enough, but what if it’s very hard?
Once the task is very difficult and you can’t complete it, then you can’t proceed. To continue going forward, you have to find another NPC and accept a new task, repeating the cycle, isn’t that a massive waste of time?
Lin Chen clenched his fist and said with a smile: "Senior, it’s just a game after all. Since it’s not against the rules, why make yourself uncomfortable? A punch on the body hurts a lot, you know."
The middle-aged man said angrily: "This world has realm suppression. You might not be able to beat me; I’m just injured, not dead."
Lin Chen laughed: "I’m of the Five Elements attribute; realm suppression benefits me. After all, I managed to get promoted with the Tao Spirit of five parts; if I can’t even beat someone of the same realm, wouldn’t that be embarrassing?"
As Lin Chen spoke, the aura on his body kept transforming, sometimes engulfed in Wildfire, sometimes wrapped in water flow, sometimes full of wood vitality...
The middle-aged man fell silent.
Yes, as an individual from a different race, being able to achieve Five Elements attribute and get promoted to a Saint, clearly, his strength is quite amazing. I really can’t beat him!
Lin Chen smiled and said: "Be accommodating; if you can make things easier for everyone, then it’s truly convenient. Show me the other tasks, will you?"
Not wanting to get beaten, the middle-aged man angrily threw out a booklet.
"All the tasks are on it; see for yourself."
Lin Chen took the booklet and smiled: "Thank you, senior."
The booklet had many words written on it, row after row, and each row represented a task. These tasks were bizarre and included all sorts of things.
Lin Chen looked through it and laughed: "I see you have an alchemy task here; I think it suits me. How about I take this one? Since it’s a task, you must have the materials, right?"
Reluctantly, the middle-aged man threw out various materials for refining the medicinal pill. Lin Chen returned the booklet to the middle-aged man, then sat down on the open space beside them and began refining pills.
This medicinal pill wasn’t too advanced but required quite a high level of proficiency in alchemy.
For a seasoned alchemist, this task wasn’t a difficult problem, but for a non-alchemist, it was as hard as climbing to heaven, an absolutely impossible task to complete.
Lin Chen noticed that all the tasks were random, and if the task didn’t match your specialty, then you needed to change the place to find another NPC to start a new task from scratch.
Since it’s a game, isn’t exploiting the loopholes in the rules what players should do?
As long as you didn’t say it’s not allowed, then doing it doesn’t count as breaking the rules.
The reason Lin Chen wanted to do this was actually to avoid a hidden rule.
These NPCs guarded in front of the checkpoint, giving tasks randomly, which could lead to a problem.
Giving simple tasks to those they find agreeable, giving complicated tasks to those they find disagreeable.
In the entire Heavenly God Paradise, who is the most disagreeable to these members of the Heavenly God Clan?
Of course, it’s Lin Chen, an individual from a different race!
These people find Lin Chen disagreeable, so couldn’t they use the rules at hand to give Lin Chen the most difficult tasks, causing him to suffer and fail?
Even if they couldn’t get rid of Lin Chen, but to irritate him, make him fail, and see his pitiful state, wouldn’t that be very amusing?
Lin Chen just went through all the tasks. Some were easier, some were more difficult, and the one about going next door to beat someone and snatch their magical treasure was definitely considered difficult. After all, everyone’s realm is suppressed, so wanting to win and snatch someone else’s treasure isn’t that easy.
Just getting started, you’re already exhausted. How do you plan to tackle the later stages?
To say that this middle-aged man harbors no malice at all towards me, Lin Chen couldn’t believe it.
Soon, Lin Chen finished refining the medicinal pill and handed it to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man checked and found the quality to be very good, fully qualified, and could no longer find any reason to refuse.
"You are an alchemist?"
Lin Chen laughed: "I know a little."
The middle-aged man put away the medicinal pill, expressionless, raised his hand, and cast a golden light into the room.
In the room, golden ripples appeared instantly, and then a teleportation gate like a water wave appeared in the empty room.
"You’ve passed! Cross through the teleportation gate, and you will appear behind the Barrier. Keep going north."
Lin Chen nodded: "Thank you, senior."
The middle-aged man snorted coldly, leaned back into the chair again, and stopped looking at Lin Chen.
Lin Chen didn’t get annoyed. Having been in the Heavenly God Realm for so long, what kind of attitude from the Heavenly God Clan has he not seen?
What is this?
Lin Chen entered the room and walked into the teleportation gate.
Indeed, as if passing through an invisible Barrier, his body appeared behind the Barrier.
Lin Chen took flight and continued heading north.
Soon, Lin Chen encountered the second Barrier checkpoint. He followed the Barrier for a while and found an identical small house, standing in a valley with a gatekeeper in front of the house.
Lin Chen stepped forward and respectfully asked: "Senior, may I know if anyone has come here before me to pass the test?"
The gatekeeper sized up Lin Chen, his gaze filled with undisguised disdain.
"Different race? Hmph, why do you ask?"
Lin Chen answered with a warm and pleasant attitude: "I just want to confirm my progress."
The gatekeeper snorted: "This is the second stage; you’re the first one here."
Lin Chen smiled: "Is that so? Then I’m relieved."
The gatekeeper looked at Lin Chen with confusion: "What do you mean, why are you relieved?"
Lin Chen took two steps forward, smiling as he looked at the gatekeeper: "I know you have many tasks, and you assign them randomly. However, I think it would be better if I do the choosing..."
The gatekeeper suddenly stood up, glaring at Lin Chen: "Different race, what did you say?"
Lin Chen calmly said: "Hand over the task list, or I’ll beat you to death!"
