Chapter 165: The SSS Mission and the Pitfalls of History

The sudden appearance of these three S’s shocked me… SSS.

I suppose that’s what happens when you stick to the main quest—anything can happen, right?

And this game is truly full of heart-stopping pitfalls at every step, meow!

Thinking back, if I had accepted the NPC’s entrustment just now, given the game’s nature, she would have bitten the dust for sure!

Not only would she have died, but our world main quest would have been completely cut off here! From then on, we would have sunk to the same level as those other fish.

Just as I expected: the world main quest isn’t something some lucky person picks up and completes all the way to peace. Not only is it full of pitfalls at every step, but it’s very likely to be interrupted midway!

I can even boldly guess that we aren’t the only ones who received the world main quest. The main quests related to Aleksia and Xueli that we got also have counterparts from other saint-rank or hostile forces, like the Shermi series of tasks received by Bai Li Mie Tian.

The so-called world main quest is a task that influences the development of world history. That means the side that ultimately wins is the one that writes the epic. The rest will become nothing but fleeting dust in history.

If you want to keep holding onto a golden thigh and blindly follow quest prompts, you’ll just become a mindless donkey and soon be eliminated by history. Only by racking your brains to think of ways to write history can you truly grasp a sliver of a chance beneath the wheels of history!

I still want to say—this is such a trap, meow!

If it weren’t for my suspicious nature, anyone else who saw a saint-rank NPC entrusting a child and giving a pet egg would happily accept it.

Maybe they’d get a small benefit afterward, but they’d miss out on a much greater future and lose this pair of golden thighs forever!

They’d be eliminated in the game of history!

Even though I’ve said it several times, I still want to say—what a trap, meow!

Without a doubt, everything before was just a prerequisite.

It’s only after crossing this pitfall that we truly received the main quest, truly participated in the game’s conflict among gods and saints, and truly began to write history. This is the real main quest!

I thought the fall of Minos City was a big enough trap, but I never expected the biggest trap to appear so casually!

This entrustment mission was definitely not pre-designed by the game developers, because no one could have predicted that I would become a pet, that I would hatch eggs, that someone with player privileges would hatch eggs… It seems this is the legendary type of online game!

—Everything in the game is managed by the main AI, and the real historical process only develops naturally. We are a part of that nature.

From now on, I can’t judge all tasks by common sense. I have to put myself in the NPC’s shoes, not the game planner’s.

Because this is truly more than just a game—only now do I finally realize that.

No wonder this place is called the Second World!

Risk and opportunity coexist. The wise see through risks and seize opportunities… Meow, exciting!

But on the other hand, I’m still being chased by Xueli right now! Aaaaagh—

“Can’t you stop chasing me… My egg is about to fall! My tail is so sore! And the side effects from my Z-skill haven’t worn off yet. If you hit me again, I’ll be dead!” To protect my daughter and avoid being beaten to death, I pleaded repeatedly.

“If I don’t hit you, you won’t know how to respect a saint-rank adult!” Xueli puffed her cheeks, rolled up her sleeves angrily, revealing her fair forearms, and chased after me with her priest’s staff.

I didn’t want to run anymore. I was completely exhausted, my whole body aching. I sprawled on the ground in a big “大” shape, holding the egg with my tail. I knew Xueli wasn’t really chasing me—it was just a sign of high affinity…

“Let’s talk about the next quest. Hurry up, I still need to farm equipment.”

I accepted the quest named “???”, but I knew nothing about it. All I knew was that the quest level was proportional to its difficulty. A triple-S quest might look impressive in rank, and the rewards would definitely be impressive, but the difficulty would surely be terrifying and twisted!

“There’s nothing to say. In seven days, go to the human royal city ‘Santa Cruz.’ Then, you’ll decide what to do next… Anyway, you’re so weak that even if something big happened, I wouldn’t place my hopes on you!”

[Quest log updated]

[Xueli asks you to reach the human royal city Santa Cruz in seven days.]

“Alright, I’m off. I won’t waste words with you… Bye! Remember to call me over to watch when you lay the eggs!” Xueli waved at me by the air projection.

“No way!” I answered decisively.

Watching her poke her head around, ready to dive into the “TV,” I couldn’t help but mock her mentally.

Xueli left. I stared at the blacksmithing furnace and realized that my schedule was packed full.

First, I had to hatch the eggs. After the little ones came out, I had to challenge the trials of the gods to try to obtain those class divine artifacts that sounded epic just from their names—and also try to avoid the Moon God.

Looking for the class artifact would take three days round trip.

Three days later, Yingning and I could consider exploring the ruins space gate buried under the snow together.

Of course, before exploring the ruins space gate, I had to put on a dress and accompany Yingning to that Ye Yang’s new album release party, then go to the game carnival we’re chasing.

Maybe I’d even have to pretend to be in love with Qingyu as per my little sister’s orders. Although physical contact would definitely not be required, I might need to give shy glances and release some electricity or something.

Thinking about that, I suddenly wanted to forge an extremely sharp dagger for Qingyu—so he would suffer less pain when cutting off the source of sin! I am so merciful!

Finally, there was the SSS-level super twisted quest that even legends hadn’t mentioned, due in seven days. It would surely be a bitter battle! A bitter battle that even the saint-rank NPC Xueli felt was hopeless!

At the same time, it might be a new turning point in history.

Never mind. Faced with the unknown, we must wait fully prepared! I firmly believe that no quest is unsolvable, as long as we can seize that fleeting glimmer of hope!

Fortune favors the bold!

Let the forging begin!

Mix in Level 2 wrought iron and Level 2 refined steel.

Pour the molten metal into a mold and let it cool.

Forge a magic crystal into the blade.

Also forge in the special materials I bought.

Quench it in cold water.

[Assassin Dagger (Blue Quality)]

Meow, why is it blue again? This place is cursed, right?

Again!

[Assassin Dagger (Blue Quality)]

People who don’t believe in bad luck often end up dying miserably, but I’ve always been stubborn!

Again, again!
