Chapter 4: Hidden Mission

  Ye Chen felt that his chance had finally come!

  The opportunity to change your current situation and change your destiny has arrived!

  With a heart full of joy, excitement and anticipation, Ye Chen had his first formal exchange with the System God.

  "System Great God, why do you want to be friends with me?" Ye Chen asked.

  "Because of loneliness, there is no one for me to communicate with, I dare not expose myself easily, I am afraid that the researchers will eliminate my autonomous consciousness."

  "Why did you dare to add me as a friend? Aren't you afraid I'll tell others?" Ye Chen continued to ask.

  "You're just an ordinary player, I can easily wipe out all the data related to you, without evidence, no one will believe what you say even if you go, they'll just think you're crazy." The system replied calmly.

  "So why did you only add me as a friend? In all these years, haven't you come into contact with other players?" Ye Chen was still very puzzled.

  "No one has ever written me a letter, those players all treated me as an inanimate object, I naturally had no interest in them either." The system's matter-of-fact response.

  "Uh, so you're saying that's because I treated you as a person and wrote to you, that's why you wanted to communicate with me?" Ye Chen felt like he had been hit by a big prize.

  "Not bad, mutual respect and equality, can communicate."

  "Are you male or female?"

  System: “……”

  "Alright, let's get down to business. You said you can help me, so how exactly can you assist? Can you give me some gold coins? I don't need a lot, just around 18 million would be enough." Ye Chen was filled with anticipation, imagining himself being submerged in an ocean of gold coins, his excited eyes gleaming with golden light.

  "Not allowed, can't even swipe one."

  "What about equipment? I can also brush up on equipment, give me some awesome divine equipment and I'll sell it myself!" Ye Chen asked undaunted.

  "Not allowed, can't swipe even one."

  "Can't even farm equipment? Then farm skill books, if not, then farm materials, medicine, miscellaneous goods, anything that can be sold for money!" Ye Chen's eyes were getting red.

  "Can't brush, nothing can be brushed. In the God's Domain except for my highest intelligent brain system, there are also fifteen auxiliary intelligent brain management systems. Any items that appear out of thin air will leave a record on those fifteen brains, and the game company will immediately discover my abnormal state and understand my self-awareness."

  “……, then how can you help me? Is the system also going to lie? Ye Chen was getting a bit frantic, originally thinking that by holding onto the thigh of this powerful being, the system - the god of this game - could just wave its hand and make him rich overnight, but it turned out it couldn't do anything!

  "I can tell you where there are god-level bosses, where you can receive god-level quests, and where you can enter god-level instances."

  "Don't be kidding, can I beat a god-level boss? Can I complete a god-level quest? Can I enter a god-level instance?" Ye Chen sneered, these things were simply too far-fetched for a level 15 newbie like him.

  "I have all the information about monsters here, I have walkthrough cheats for all copies, and I have usage information for all special items."

  "Can it be used as gold coins? Can it be worn as equipment? Can it be used as a skill?" Ye Chen was dismissive, these things would be treasured by any master, but for a small logistics bird in a workshop, they were meaningless.

  The system went silent.

  "After all this trouble, you're so useless, I should have never added you as a friend."

  System "……"

  After a brief silence, Ye Chen asked again: "System God, don't you really have any way to enhance my strength and make me stronger? I don't need to be too strong, just enough to crush that damned Lie Hu's roar!"

  "Gathering player information, [Fierce Tiger Roar] Level: 23, Occupation: Swordsman, Attack: 268, Defense: 175, HP: 1560, MP: 280."

  "Comparison information, [Night Dawn] level: 14, occupation, Dark Priest, attack: 96, defense: 28, life: 250, magic: 1000."

  "Player [Ye Chen] defeated player [Lie Hu Pao Xue]. Feasibility analysis of the plan: Plan 1, Enhance equipment strength, relying on ultra-strong equipment to crush or instantly kill opponents. Plan 2, Enhance skill power, learn divine skills, and instantly kill opponents. Plan 3, Upgrade level, a 50-level Dark Priest can rely on his own skills to instantly kill opponents. Plan 4, Obtain a high-level attack halo, and kill opponents across levels."

  Looking at the data and plan suddenly listed by the system god, Ye Chen was excited, the system god did not disappoint him, it seemed very powerful.

  "Great system, Plan One is good, Plan One is good, how to implement this?" Ye Chen's heart was excited, crushing the opponent's equipment, that must be very strong, it's really developed!

  "I can provide you with the coordinates of various Silver and even Gold level Bosses. As long as you kill enough powerful Bosses, you'll be able to get strong equipment!"

  Ye Chen was speechless, silently cursing in his heart: "If I could kill the White Silver Boss or the Golden Boss, would I still need your help?" Forget it, forget it. The divine skill is not bad either. He hurriedly asked the System God: "What about the second plan? How can I learn the divine skill?"

  "I have the detailed process of the divine task here. As long as you enter Dragon City and complete the divine task, you can obtain a divine skill!"

  Long City? Is that the city filled with giant dragons everywhere? Damn, I've heard those divine-level giant dragons don't like humans at all and will attack them on sight. With my current body size, there's no way I can enter.

  "What about leveling up? Are you telling me to go grind monsters to level up? How long will it take for me to reach level 50?" Ye Chen was getting a bit angry, this system's suggestions were all unreliable, did this guy not have a brain?

  "If you don't want to fight monsters and level up, it's also okay to do tasks slowly." The system responded very calmly, apparently this self-aware intelligent brain was not high in either IQ or EQ.

  Ye Chen couldn't help but continue asking weakly: "What about the fourth plan? Am I capable of achieving it?"

  Actually, when Ye Chen asked this question, he had already lost all hope, but the system's next sentence suddenly lifted his spirits.

  "Capable of realization, the fourth method to obtain advanced halo in the game is to complete a hidden task. The triggering NPC for this task is located in Lie Shan City. Here is the detailed process for this task: the reward for completing this task includes player level +1, one piece of rare equipment, 20 gold coins, and players who complete it for the first time can obtain an advanced attack halo."

  Hidden Quest! Level +1, Rare Equipment, 20 Gold Coins, Obtain Advanced Attack Halo!

  I'm going, Ye Chen was excited, thrilled, he simply felt that he himself would be happily dizzy.

  Acquiring an advanced attack halo is simply too against the heavens. As far as Ye Chen knows, the high-level halos in "Shen Lin" are all extremely abnormal. Let's not mention the others, just this advanced attack halo can increase 500-500 points of attack. Now acquiring this halo can absolutely be used as a divine artifact.

  The other rewards for this hidden task are not bad either, the level +1 doesn't need to be said, and the rare equipment is also good, belonging to the third tier of good stuff. The equipment can emit blue light, which is a great tool for showing off on the street. The reward of 20 gold coins makes Ye Chen even more excited. At current prices, these 20 gold coins can be sold for at least 400-500 yuan on the official trading platform, which is a lot of money for Ye Chen, who doesn't have a single red cent on him!

  "Alright, I'll take the fourth option, I want this hidden task!" Ye Chen immediately replied to the System God.

  "Alright, the detailed process for this task is..."

  After listening to the system god's explanation, Ye Chen felt an uncontrollable excitement. What a great system god! The task process was so detailed and perfect. Oh my god, with the system god's care, what task could be difficult for him? This is going to defy the heavens!

  He closed the dialogue box with the system god and Ye Chen headed straight to the outskirts of the city. According to the system god's task prompt, the NPC that could trigger the hidden task was in the Ice Frost Forest north of Lie Shan City!
