Chapter 538: 535, [Merit Earth], [Disease of Tao Shi] _1
“Nemesis, how should we thank you?” The Emperor Shao Hao looked at Su Yu with authority yet kindly.
Not beating around the bush, Su Yu smiled and said, “Your Majesty, I am currently in need of golden potions. If you could bestow me with some, that would be wonderful. Any quality will do, as long as they’re golden.”
“Hmm, I’ll inform the treasury immediately. Is there anything else you need?” Shao Hao dismissed this requirement right away. The treasury had plenty of golden potions, many of them rare, and he would want no less than all for Su Yu.
“One more thing.” Su Yu requested seriously: “I’d like to gain your trust, to be able to assign tasks to adventurers from other realms on your behalf. It will make things easier for expelling the invaders.”
Only by gaining Shao Hao’s trust and issuing campaign tasks could Su Yu gain substantial experience points. After his cat, Morning Star, advanced to the seventh tier, he had absorbed all the Experience Crystal Stone, so he had to gather more experience points (cat food) now.
Shao Hao waved his hand generously: “This is nothing, I grant your request!”
Simultaneously, Su Yu heard two game notification sounds:
“Ding! Activated an epic hidden mission [Merit Earth].”
“Mission description: The Pandamen Empire is struggling with internal and external issues and urgently needs external forces to expel the invaders and survive this crisis.”
“Mission requirements: Defeat the invading forces of the [Mantis Demons] and [Mogu Clan] (0%).”
“Mission rewards: 1. random rewards according to the mission’s completion degree.
2. Friendship with the Pandamen.”
“Mission countdown: 72 hours.”
“Penalty for mission failure: World Prestige -30, Favorability of Pandamen -20.”
Also, Su Yu heard the notification sound for the opening of “task delegation authority”.
“Ding! You’ve gained [The Emperor Shao Hao’s] trust and have been granted [Task Delegation Authority].”
…
There isn’t much to research about the mission activated above, as its reward is “random rewards according to the mission’s completion degree.”
As for the “task delegation authority”, when Su Yu opened the task bar permission section, he found that he could replace Emperor Shao Hao in assigning 10 campaign tasks. Among them, 3 were large-scale campaigns that involved 100,000 people!
This showed that Emperor Shao Hao trusted him very much.
“Thank you, Your Majesty!” Su Yu was very content. He bowed to Emperor Shao Hao: “I should set off right away. Every second earlier to the front lines means a second less pressure for our soldiers.”
“No need to thank me. It is I who should thank you.” Emperor Shao Hao was very touched. Where else would he find such a hardworking and legendary person?
He was also relieved in his heart. It was a good thing that he asked the Senior, Chen Sheng, to establish a good relationship with Su Yu, or Su Yu would now stand on the enemy’s side.
“During your march, if anything is required, inform me at once. Whatever you lack, I’ll provide you with!”
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
…
After bidding goodbye to Emperor Shao Hao, Su Yu vanished from the Pandamen’s Royal Palace with a flash.
Walking on the high streets outside the palace, the scenery confused him, giving him a sense of disorientation.
In his previous life, he entered the game in the Pandamen version and was very familiar with it, especially the Pandamen’s imperial capital, the Emerald Bamboo City.
Times have changed; the Emerald Bamboo City remained the same, but he was no longer the same person.
Just as he was absorbed in his thoughts, a fluffy little Pandamen girl passed by him.
The little girl put down a dozen sugar-coated haws from her shoulder, looked at him adorably and called out: “Sir adventurer, would you like to buy some sugar haws?”
“Oh–” This pulled Su Yu back from his thoughts.
Looking at the cute little Pandamen girl in front of him, a thought struck him, “Little girl, your name is ‘Tao Lili’, isn’t it?”
The Pandamen girl was alarmed, retreated two steps back seemingly frightened, “How…how do you know my name?”
“Actually, I’m a prophet.” Su Yu smiled and tried to look as harmless as possible: “I know you’re selling haws at such a young age to pay for your sick mother’s medical bills, right?”
“You…you…” The Pandamen girl was lost for words in her surprise. How did this adventurer know everything? Was he really a “prophet”?
“I can cure your mother’s disease.” Su Yu got straight to the point: “As for the reward, I just need a string of hawthorn berries.”
“Really? Thank you, adventurer!” The Pandamen girl’s eyes welled up with tears of joy. It was so wonderful to meet such a good person here!
“Ding! Activated a rare hidden mission [Disease of Tao Shi (1/20)].”
“Mission Description: The foster mother [Tao Shi] of Pandamen [Tao Lili] suffers from a serious chronic disease and is bedridden.”
“Mission requirement: Help [Tao Lili] cure [Tao Shi]’s chronic disease.”
“Mission rewards: 1. Favorability of [Tao Lili] and [Tao Shi] +3.
2. [Sugar Haws] X1.”
“Mission countdown: 12 hours.”
“Penalty for mission failure: Favorability of [Tao Lili] -30.”
…
After accepting the mission, Su Yu helped young Tao Lili carry the sugar haws, and they rushed to her home together.
The hidden mission of [Disease of Tao Arrow] was encountered by Su Yu in his past life, and it could be said to be the hidden mission with the best rewards he received before level 50.
The final reward, if he remembered correctly, should be a bottle of golden [Advanced Recovery Potion]. At that time, he boasted about it with his friends in the company for a long time.
The Pandamen [Tao Arrow] is actually a member of the Pandamen Empire’s [Shadowstep Sect] (similar to America’s FBI).
Because of severe injuries and memory loss, she did not report back to Shadowstep Sect after a major mission, but instead came to the imperial capital and lived a simple life as a Pandamen, cohabitating with the abandoned infant girl, [Tao Lili], whom she had adopted.
What Su Yu needs to do in this mission chain is, first, to help Tao Arrow heal her injuries, second, to help her recover her lost memories, and thirdly, to go to the Shadowstep Sect with her to report to its leader, [Zhu Talan].
What Su Yu is currently doing is the first step.
…
As Su Yu was walking slowly with Tao Lili, it didn’t take long for the passers-by on the high street to recognize him.
“Wait! Is that Boss Ke?”
“My goodness, it’s Boss Ke!”
“I didn’t expect to meet Boss Ke here!”
“In fact, Boss Ke, you are … experiencing the life of an underprivileged person, and selling haws part-time? I want a string!”
The players excitedly “surrounded” him.
Su Yu used [Invisibility Skill] in time, thus avoiding being mobbed by passionate players.
He had been careless. Early on, he had forgotten to disguise himself when setting out for the mission. He couldn’t make the same mistake again.
He quickly grabbed Tao Lili and left the scene.
