"This task…"
Su Ran fell into thought, looking at the task information.
He had pretty much figured out the system's routine by now.
He knew the system wouldn't issue an impossible task.
Just like the previous Stardew Valley task, it seemed to have harsh conditions and high difficulty, but once he found the right method, it became very easy.
As for the current task, he couldn't say for sure how difficult it was; he'd have to play the game himself to find out.
However, just from the task conditions, the time was ample, the number of targets wasn't exaggerated, and the rewards were generous.
The difficulty lay in not knowing what the follow-up to this chain task would be.
Also, he couldn't guide players or write game guides for them.
However, he had originally felt too busy recently, but now, he could legitimately slack off.
Thinking this way, well, it wasn't bad, it seemed like he could have a pleasant time playing.
…
At this moment.
After leaving the Internet Cafe, Wu Lei and the other three were on their way to the General Estate.
Because it was Wu Lei's turn to treat today.
"That Kulve Taroth after clearing the game is quite hard to beat, it feels like it just won't die, and it loves to run away!"
Ouyang Qing frowned and asked, "Old Wu, have you cleared it?"
"It won't die, who told you to kill it? As long as you break the horns on its head, the task is complete!"
"You must collect footprints, breaking parts increases the pursuit level, the higher the pursuit level, the later Kulve Taroth retreats, and the easier it is to break parts, and…"
Wu Lei roughly explained the entire process to the three of them.
"I see, but it sounds a bit complicated!"
The three of them listened, half-understanding.
Seeing this, Wu Lei asked strangely, "Didn't you go to the boss to buy a game guide?"
"No!"
Dugu Mu shook his head, "We saw that the game was already cleared, so we thought we'd try exploring it ourselves!"
Ouyang Qing regretted, "Yeah, but listening to you, it sounds quite troublesome. Maybe we should just go to the boss tomorrow and buy a guide!"
"Ouyang, have you forgotten, the new game is coming out tomorrow!"
Oriental Bright suddenly reminded her.
"Oh, right, right, right, then let's play the new game first!"
Ouyang Qing suddenly realized, her eyes lighting up, "I wonder what this new game will be like, I hope it's fun!"
The other three nodded, their faces full of anticipation.
Not long after, they arrived at the General Estate.
"Third Young Master, young sirs, please come this way!"
"Dinner is ready!"
The estate's steward immediately came to greet them and led them to the main hall of the estate.
But as soon as they entered, they saw someone already seated at the dining table in the hall.
"Big Brother!"
Wu Lei naturally recognized who the person in front of him was at a glance, his face showing surprise.
"You still remember to come back?"
However, Wu Hao's face sank at this moment, and he questioned him accusingly:
"I've been back for two days, and you haven't shown your face, and I have to personally wait for you. Are you not planning to acknowledge me as your Big Brother anymore?"
"Uh…"
Wu Lei could only explain, "Big Brother, who told you to be so engrossed in cultivation? I, well, I was afraid of disturbing you!"
Wu Hao raised an eyebrow, "So, this is my fault then?"
"No, no, no, my fault, my fault!"
Wu Lei quickly said with a ingratiating smile, "Hehe, Big Brother, you've finally returned, you wouldn't be planning to give me the cold shoulder, would you?"
Wu Hao glared at Wu Lei, wanting to speak but hesitating, and finally waved his hand, giving up and saying, "Forget it, sit down and talk!"
"Brother Wu, long time no see!"
Ouyang Qing, Dugu Mu, and Oriental Bright also stepped forward to greet Wu Hao.
"Mm!"
Seeing these three, Wu Hao was somewhat displeased, but he still nodded without showing it, signaling for the three to sit down as well.
At this point, Wu Hao asked again, "Wu Lei, I heard you've been going to that Internet Cafe every day recently?"
"Big Brother, you know already?"
"Of course, you don't even come home, can't I inquire about where you are?"
"Since Big Brother knows I'm at the Internet Cafe, why didn't you come find me? I could have taken you to play together!"
"Play together?"
Wu Hao showed a strange expression, then coldly reprimanded, "I'm telling you to go to those unclear places less often in the future!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Lei finally understood that his Big Brother probably didn't understand what an Internet Cafe was, only knew its name, and began to explain:
"Big Brother, that Internet Cafe isn't as simple as you think, there…"
But Wu Lei hadn't finished speaking.
He was impatiently interrupted by Wu Hao: "Alright, I'm not interested in that Internet Cafe. If I have that much free time, I'd rather cultivate!"
Saying this, Wu Hao changed the subject, "Do you know how well my recent seclusion went?"
Wu Hao suddenly raised his hand, and a silver star ring appeared on his wrist.
"How is it?"
Wu Hao smiled proudly, already preparing to see the surprised expression on Wu Lei's face.
"Huh?"
But when he looked up, he found Wu Lei sitting there calmly, seemingly not surprised at all.
In fact, there was even a faint hint of disdain in his eyes?
Wu Hao felt he must have misread it.
However, immediately after, he heard Wu Lei say something that made him want to spit blood.
"Big Brother, you've only gained two stars after a month of seclusion, that's a bit too slow!"
What?
This is slow?
Even those top-ranked students at the academy might not be able to do what he did.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Wu Hao stared, believing that Wu Lei was definitely trying to provoke him on purpose, or else he was jealous, and immediately retorted, "You call this slow? You go find me someone faster…"
But halfway through his sentence, Wu Hao's pupils constricted, and his expression was as if he had seen a ghost.
At that moment, a Martial Qi Star Ring also appeared on Wu Lei's wrist, and like his, it was also silver.
"Sil-sil-silver star ring!"
"How is that possible? Xiao Lei, weren't your meridians blocked, making you unable to cultivate for life…"
Wu Lei laughed, "Haha, Big Brother, while you were in seclusion, my meridians recovered, and I caught up to you in less than a month. And you still say your cultivation speed isn't slow?"
"And it's not just me, they are too!"
Saying this, Wu Lei gave Ouyang Qing and the other two a look.
Then they also summoned their Martial Qi Star Rings, all of them uniformly silver-white.
"This…"
At this moment, Wu Hao felt his head buzzing.
When he saw the three earlier, he was actually a bit displeased.
Because he knew his younger brother was with these three, known as the Four Young Masters of Feiyun, which, to put it bluntly, meant four good-for-nothing wastrels.
However, at this moment, he discovered that the cultivation of these three was actually no less than his own.
This made it difficult for him to accept for a while.
"How is this possible!"
Wu Hao looked at the four in disbelief, "What exactly did you do?"
"Big Brother, I wanted to tell you just now, but you weren't willing to listen. Now, let me tell you about the Internet Cafe again…"
Wu Hao thus began to listen to Wu Lei recount the various miraculous deeds of the Internet Cafe.
His expression was incredibly vivid, and a storm raged in his heart.
After listening, Wu Hao stood rooted to the spot, speechless for a long time.
Until he heard Wu Lei advise him, "Big Brother, stop being so engrossed in cultivation. Come play games with us from now on!"
If it were the old Wu Hao, he would have scoffed and rebuked such words.
However, at this moment, he was truly shaken.
