Chapter 97 Sending You to a Place Without Hunger
Alan was somewhat surprised to see the newcomer.
"First Princess?"
"I wasn't planning on coming, but I saw the divine shadow from afar and decided to meet with you."
Alan nodded. "And then?"
"Ice King, I'm unsure if you're helping Lisa or Leona, but helping either isn't very."
"I'm not pleased with your words," Alan said.
Ashley waved her hand nonchalantly. "I'm the strongest among the three princesses, and I have the deepest resources. Whatever benefits they promise you, I can give you as well."
Alan was unfazed by the revelation. With the blessing of the Ice Goddess, his influence in Stellaria had grown significantly.
It made sense that Ashley would try to win him over.
"So, what can you offer me?"
Ashley pondered for a moment, her gaze falling on the Blossom Tower behind her. "The Blossom Tower will be yours, and after it's done, Lisa and Leona will be yours too."
Clearly, Ashley took Alan for a lecherous person.
"That's it?" Alan shook his head. "I don't lack women."
Ashley pondered for a moment. "Can you tell me what Lisa and Leona promised you?"
"That's confidential." Alan shook his head. "However, in Stellaria, I hold you in high regard."
"As for Lisa, even with the queen's help, her thoughts are too straightforward to be of much use."
Alan continued, "Leona lacks depth. Without this incident, she might have had a chance with the guild and a shot at competing with you. But now, she has lost that chance."
Hearing this, Ashley's eyes lit up, "So, you're willing to help me?"
"I am, but I need the blessings of the gods. Do you know how to obtain them?"
Ashley frowned slightly.
Clearly, even she couldn't easily provide the blessings of the gods.
"I can tell you who has them, but you have to kill someone for me," Ashley said.
"Who?" Alan asked.
"Barbara!" Ashley replied.
Alan raised an eyebrow. "Is this a test of loyalty?"
"Sort of. Are you willing?"
[Princess Ashley has given you a mission. Do you accept?]
[Mission requirement: Kill Barbara within half a month.]
[Mission penalty: Unknown.]
[Mission reward: Clues to seven blessings of the gods.]
Alan's pupils narrowed.
The reward was simply outrageous.
Seven!!
Even if they were just clues, following them had a high probability of obtaining the blessings.
For just killing an NPC, Alan had no reason to refuse these rewards.
"Accept."
Alan accepted without hesitation.
This mission was crucial for his plan to revive the ancient Jinse Empire.
For Alan at this stage, killing Barbara. wasn't a big problem.
According to Alan's estimation, Barbara was likely a level 50 gold boss with some special abilities.
In other words, she was probably a level 50 gold boss in a hell-level dungeon.
A typical field boss could be taken down by a twelve-player team of the same level.
Like the field boss Twisted Treant in the beginner village, with around 100,000 health, a team of twelve level 10 players equipped with beginner gear had more than a 10% chance of defeating it.
A twelve-player team usually consisted of five damage dealers, mages, and archers as needed, four warriors, including defensive warriors and those attracting enemy aggro.
Three priests to heal the warriors and apply buffs or silence the monsters.
Such a twelve-player team could definitely take down a regular field boss.
However, dungeons presented a different challenge altogether.
In a dungeon, even bosses with the same title had stronger attributes than those in the field.
And the higher the difficulty, the stronger the boss.
That's why the monsters Alan encountered in dungeons were so strong.
It was because he always chose the hell-level difficulty.
Alan estimated that Barbara was likely a level 50 gold boss in a hell-level dungeon.
As for her actual strength, Alan didn't know.
He would only find out after facing her.
At the same time, Alan was also considering whether to first switch to a regular class, which would enhance his attributes and allow him to continue leveling up.
Switching to a regular class wouldn't affect switching to a hidden class.
But after a brief thought, Alan decided not to switch to a hidden class just yet.
He planned to complete the three strategies he knew, two of which would definitely yield the blessings of the gods, and the other had a high probability of yielding them.
With this in mind, Alan changed course.
In the southeast corner of Starcity, the capital, there was a beggar.
Initially, many people thought this beggar had a hidden mission and gave him food, gold, and other good things.
But they got no mission from the beggar, feeling deceived.
However, Alan knew they were triggering the mission the wrong way.
Indeed, the beggar had a mission, and it even rewarded the blessings of the gods.
But the way to trigger the mission was not to please him, but to kill him and get the mission scroll from him.
This was discovered when a player, frustrated after spending a lot of money without triggering the mission, killed the beggar in anger and found the mission scroll on him.
Completing the mission on the scroll would yield the blessings of the gods.
Southeast corner.
Alan saw the beggar in the corner.
At this moment, a few players were giving the beggar things, trying to get a mission from him.
But soon, they left dejectedly.
Alan approached the beggar.
The beggar smiled and extended his hand to Alan.
[Beggar: Level 15.]
[Health: 2,580/2,580.]
[Attack: 108.]
[Skills: None.]
[Description: You might get unexpected benefits from him.]
This description misled many people.
Many thought he had a mission.
He did have a mission, one that rewarded the blessings of the gods.
But the way to get this mission was not to please him, but to kill him and get the mission scroll from him.
"I haven't eaten in three days. Can you give me some food?" the beggar pleaded.
Alan grinned and said, "Sure, I'll send you to a place where you won't be hungry."
With that, Alan unhesitatingly shot an arrow.
[-2,580.]
The beggar's eyes widened in disbelief.
But with his health bar emptied, he could only fall unwillingly.
