Chapter 6: The Great Hall of Mountain Bandits

  "Yè Chén, big sister asked me to ask you, what time are you going offline to cook dinner, so I can notify the sisters in advance."

  Get off the line and cook!

  Uh, although it's not a counterattack, when Ye Chen heard these four words, he was already filled with black lines. Before entering the workshop, cooking was the biggest problem in the workshop, and after entering the workshop, this big problem was solved because cooking work was handed over to him.

  From then on, the four words "cooking for the lower class" became Ye Chen's nightmare. More than a dozen girls, although their figures were all good, but their appetites were not small, in the kitchen for an hour or so, the girls were not satisfied and had to rework, what a miserable life.

  He scratched his head, the task was not done yet, Ye Chen felt a bit reluctant: "Ling Yue, but I still have something to do here, and I'm afraid I won't be able to leave for a while."

  "What's going on? Some of the sisters are already starving." Ring Yue obviously didn't have the awareness to cook for herself.

  "Why don't you cook for your sister today? I remember your cooking skills are quite good."

  Ling Yue hesitated for a moment and refused, saying: "But I still have to go find a quest later."

  This girl is a task maniac, doing tasks day and night, fortunately, there are many rewards for completing tasks, so her sister just lets her be.

  "No need to look for a task anymore, I just received a hidden task here that can be shared, and it can be shared with you." Ye Chen said temptingly.

  "Hidden Mission!"

  The girl on the other end of the phone, Ling Yue, let out a sudden cry of surprise. The poor girl had been doing tasks in the game for over half a month and hadn't even touched the edge of the hidden quests, spending her days running errands for NPCs. Now that Ye Chen was offering to share the hidden quests with her, she was excited beyond measure.

  "Do you want to?"

  "I want to do it, I want to do it, I really want to do it."

  Listening to Ling Yue's soft cry, Ye Chen's heart skipped a beat, but he still decided to add fuel to the fire: "Do you know what the reward for this task is? Let me tell you, it can upgrade your level by one, and also comes with a rare-level equipment, plus 20 gold coins, and even a mysterious reward. How about that? This task's reward is pretty awesome, right?"

  "Awesome, I really want it, I really want it, Brother Ye Chen share with me!" The little girl on the other end of the intercom was almost drooling, and Ye Chen's title had changed to "Brother".

  Ye Chen saw that the timing was right, and immediately proposed his own condition: "I can share it with you, but you have to cook for me for ten days. If you agree, I'll share it with you right away!"

  "No problem, no problem." Ring Yue's sister hastily replied. As soon as Ye Chen shared the task with her, she excitedly let out a cheer and called out to Ye Chen: "Brother Ye Chen, wait for me there, I'll go over right now. We can do the task together!"

  Got it! Ye Chen hung up the phone, excitedly clapped his hands, and finally got rid of the miserable cooking career. Haha, in ten days, he could just throw out another hidden task and let Lingyue help him with the cooking again. After all, they were good friends with the system.

  It didn't take long before Ling Yue rushed over from town. From a distance, Ye Chen saw her.

  Ling Yue's profession is a knight, but since players don't have mounts yet, this female knight can only run around on her two legs.

  Holding a silver-white lance, wearing a fitted knight's armor, with long hair dyed fiery red, and a beautiful pale face, this is the character image of Lingyue in the game. Just looking at her back, she has a bit of the elegance of a Western female knight, but looking at her front, that small face is really too delicate, lacking the heroic spirit of a female knight.

  Lingyue's sister is higher than Yechen, already at level 20. It's really not easy to do tasks and reach this level, I truly admire Yechen's perseverance.

  Two people walked together, accompanied by beautiful women all the way, chatting and laughing, time flew quickly, and soon they arrived at Banyue Mountain.

  The refreshed monster on Half Moon Mountain is a level 18 mountain bandit, which is quite consistent with the current mainstream level, so there are many players on the mountain, more than monsters.

  "There are more weirdos than people, it's going to be a tough task!" Ling Yue looked at the crowd on the mountain, her face scrunched up.

  Ye Chen heard this and chuckled, asking Ling Yue: "Did you bring the torch I told you to bring?"

  Ling Yue nodded, somewhat puzzled: "You didn't say it, I was about to ask you, what's the use of bringing this thing? Two silver coins for one, it's really expensive."

  "Of course it's useful, I know a good place for bandits, follow me."

  Yue Chen took the lead and walked towards the mountain, Ling Yue didn't know what kind of trick Yue Chen had up his sleeve, but since they couldn't catch any monsters at the foot of the mountain either, going up to take a look was also an option. She estimated that there would be fewer players on the mountain, making it easier to hunt monsters, so she followed Yue Chen up the mountain.

  The two of them soon arrived at the middle of the mountain, and Ye Chen led Lingyue into a cave. The path inside the cave was sloping downward, and sunlight shone in from the entrance, illuminating the interior. After walking for only a few steps, they entered a large hall filled with bandit corpses scattered all over the floor. There were also more than ten players inside the hall. Seeing that the monsters in the hall had been killed, the bandits outside began to respawn. The group of players inside the hall suddenly rushed out, and in an instant, not a single person was left inside.

  "Hurry up and light the torch!"

  Ye Chen hastily called out to Ling Yue and then quickly ran to the candelabra in the center of the hall, embracing it with both arms and forcefully twisting it.

  "Knock knock knock knock knock."

  A mechanical whirring sound echoed through the hall, followed by a loud rumble, and to everyone's surprise, the stone gate suspended at the entrance of the cave suddenly closed with a bang!

  The hall was pitch black.

  Whoosh, with the sound of flames burning, Lingyue had already lit a torch, and the firelight cast her face in a bright red glow. Her small face was filled with an incredulous expression, her round eyes wide open as she stared at Ye Chen, as if she didn't recognize him at all.

  Ling Yue's mind was shocked at this moment. In the past, she had always thought that Ye Chen was the biggest rookie in the workshop. Even if Ye Chen received a hidden task, she didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that this big rookie just had a personality explosion. But now, the scene before her completely overturned her understanding.

  "This is absolutely a secret recipe! The Divine Realm has been open for half a month, and no one has ever discovered this recipe. Ye Chen, how on earth did he find it?! Lingyue felt that her brain was already somewhat inadequate, she thought it was necessary to re-recognize the logistics staff of this workshop."

  Several torches were lit and inserted into the torch holders on the walls around, and the entire hall was suddenly brightened up. The mountain bandits also started to refresh, and at least seventeen or eighteen mountain bandits could be brushed out in this hall at a time. Two people can absolutely kill them casually, and the refresh speed is absolutely keeping up.

  It's easy from now on, the female knight Ling Yue is at the front taking the damage, Ye Chen is at the back dealing damage and healing, fully utilizing the advantages of having two milkers, the two people work together to kill monsters, very easily.

  Ye Chen and Ling Yue were having a great time killing inside, while the players outside kept banging on the door, cursing and scolding. The two of them had taken over twenty or so monsters, leaving not even one for the players outside to share. How could this not drive the outside players crazy!

  Ye Chen smiled complacently, completely ignoring the curses outside, and while fighting monsters, comforted the somewhat uneasy knight girl: "Don't mind them, they're just a bunch of jealous and resentful fools. If they knew the method, they would also lock us out."

  The female knight thought about it and didn't dwell on it anymore, focusing on fighting the mountain bandits. As she was fighting monsters, she curiously asked Ye Chen: "How did you know this secret recipe? Was someone else who told you?"

  Ye Chen burst out laughing and of course wouldn't admit that it was the system's guidance, so he casually made something up: "Of course not, who would tell me these things? I found them in a book about the history of Bàn Shān Mountain in the library. Reading more books has its benefits."
