Chapter 5: Camino's Mission

  Frosty Forest, located north of Lethal City, has mostly level 16-17 ice-type monsters. Although it's suitable for new players to train, the monster distribution is sparse and the forest is extremely cold, so there aren't many players training here.

  Ye Chen followed the coordinates given by the system and went there, but didn't find any NPCs. After wandering around the area for several rounds, he still had nothing to show for it.

  Standing still and scratching his head, he still had to ask the system for help.

  "System God, I've arrived at the coordinates you mentioned, but there's no NPC? System God, didn't you make a mistake?"

  "Let me check." The system god replied, immediately falling into silence. However, this time the silence only lasted for a few seconds before the system god gave an answer: "I didn't make a mistake, that NPC was indeed here earlier, but this NPC will move randomly in the forest and is now somewhere else."

  Listening to the system god's answer, Ye Chen was slightly stunned and randomly moved. This isn't a trap, is it? Heaven knows where he slipped away to. The Ice Forest is so vast, where should I go to find him? Ye Chen immediately fed back his difficulties to the system god.

  "I can locate this NPC for you and imprint his coordinates on your map, so you can find him just by checking the map." The system god really has no limits, immediately providing a solution.

  Ye Chen opened the map and took a look, and indeed found a small yellow dot on his own map, which was still moving slowly.

  Looking at the extra small yellow dots on his map, Ye Chen's heart suddenly moved, and he seemed to have thought of something. He subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked the system uncertainly: "If... I mean if... if I want to locate a specific player, can you do it, System God?"

  "Of course, every corner of the game world is under my surveillance. As long as I want to, there are no secrets in this world for me. Locating a player is a simple matter."

  The system's response was a matter of course, but Ye Chen became excited. He could locate any player, and the system was incredibly powerful! He had already realized the enormous impact of this function, which was equivalent to having his own all-around satellite. It could lock onto his enemies, no matter who provoked him, even if they hid in the depths of the mountains or forests, he could dig them out!

  Fierce tiger roar, this damn turtle egg, you're dead meat, wait till I become powerful, no matter where you hide in the world, don't even think about escaping my palm!

  Revenge in sight, Ye Chen immediately became energetic and chased after the small yellow dot on the map. He soon found the hidden task NPC - the stingy noble, Camino, who was wandering around. As soon as he discovered this wandering NPC, Ye Chen quickly ran towards him at a fast pace.

  Several players who were killing monsters and leveling up nearby saw this scene, and one by one they suddenly showed a schadenfreude smile, mocking Ye Chen from afar.

  "Haha, another idiot fell for it, that NPC is just a scam, apart from harming people, there's no way it'll give you a quest."

  "Hey, that kid is obviously a newbie. This has already been posted on the forum, if he's not a newbie then who would go find that NPC."

  "It's just that Camino is a damn cheap person, I don't know which programmer designed it, but its mouth is too damaging, it's simply pitiful."

  "Record it, record it, and post this rookie's silly look online."

  Ye Chen, however, pretended not to hear and took a few steps forward, pulling Kamino back who was about to continue wandering off. He smiled and said, "Respected Mr. Kamino, is there anything I can help you with?"

  Kamino was pulled back to the original place, with a face full of unwillingness. Upon hearing this, he disdainfully glanced at Ye Chen: "Help? With you? You're so weak and small, look at your weapon, haha, it's like a fire poker! And look at your robe, my god, did you take it off some dead person? Oh, you're still a dark priest, do you really like being a second wife?"

  I'm going, Ye Chen licked his lips, this guy is indeed worthy of the word "cruel", if it wasn't for the system prompt, Ye Chen would have also turned around and left like other players.

  "Am I weak? Mr. Camino, I think you're insulting me, I want to duel with you!" Ye Chen said this while glancing at a few players watching from a distance, intentionally lowering his voice.

  "The duel" was spoken, and Camino's name above his head immediately turned red, becoming an attackable NPC.

  "Heavens! Kamino's name has changed! What's going on!"

  "That rookie triggered the mission!"

  "What did he just say? What was it? Did anyone hear that? That must be the secret!"

  "Didn't hear that? That kid just intentionally lowered his voice! Too cunning!"

  This scene was seen by several players in the distance, and they suddenly boiled up. Several clever ones had already run over here.

  Kamino Rank: 1 HP: 100

  Black Fireball, -120! Camino's blood is empty!

  "I concede, I concede, great warrior, you are indeed too powerful, you are a true hero, I am willing to hand over this glorious task to you for completion, and I will give you a generous reward!"

  Kamino cried out and waved his hand, instantly a golden light burst into Ye Chen's body.

  "Ding, you have accepted the quest [Kamino's Task]."

  【Kamino's Task】: Poor Kamino was once a minor noble in Lethal Mountain City, but his sharp tongue got him into trouble. A group of mountain bandits were hired to raid his home and steal all his possessions. He asks you to help him retrieve his treasure, which is now in the hands of the Half Moon Mountain bandits. Just kill enough bandits to get your treasure back.

  Tip: This task is a shared task and can be shared with at most one teammate. The reward remains unchanged.

  "You see that? Golden light, it's golden light! My god, maybe it's a hidden quest, that kid is rich!"

  "Master! Genius!"

  "I also want to take on hidden tasks, big brother, master, godly person, sell me the method, I'll give you 2 gold coins, how about that?"

  The crowd's gaze at Ye Chen suddenly became fiery, a stark contrast to their earlier mocking expressions, a perfect example of being haughty before and humble afterwards.

  Ye Chen smiled slightly, his face didn't show much change, but in his heart he felt a little pleased, then tried to put on an air of "I'm a master, don't mess with me", and easily shook off the entanglement of those players.

  Left Frostwood Forest, took a look at the map and headed towards Half Moon Mountain, but just then, the friend's pager rang.

  "Ding ding ding, Player Yuè Rú Hóng is calling you, Player Yuè Rú Hóng is calling you."

  Is that Moonlight? Isn't this Ring Moon's sister? What does she want from me, could it be that I saw through her yesterday and now she wants to strike back in revenge?
