416: Chapter 411: Received Another Time-Limited Task Again 416: Chapter 411: Received Another Time-Limited Task Again “Manager Liu, don’t worry.

I have just checked, and the population of our village has not decreased.

This shows that little Shitou is not in immediate danger.

Do you know where he was planning to learn his craft?”

Su Ran knew he had just received another mission.

He needed to find relevant clues to complete the task quickly.

“I recall him saying earlier that he was going to the Demon realm to find opportunity, and when he becomes stronger, he will return.”

After some thought, Steward Liu shared this vital information with Su Ran.

However, before Su Ran could respond, he mournfully said, “Lord, little Shitou is still a child.

The Demon realm is the territory of the Demons, which makes the journey full of dangers.

His life is at risk!

If you could help this old man find him, I would be forever grateful…”

“Stop, stop, stop.

I accept the mission, no need to say anything further!”

Su Ran quickly interrupted.

After receiving this clue, Su Ran felt somewhat serious.

He hadn’t expected the mission to point to the Demon realm.

He remembered that the old beggar’s grandson, Gou Dan, also needed to find the Demon Blood Pool in the Demon realm in order to revive him.

However, he had no clue in regards to this high-level terrain!

“Ding!

Congratulations to player Bone Soul Ghost Fire for receiving the time-limited mission, “Save Liu Shitou”.

Mission duration: 10 days.

Mission reward: Steward Liu’s ancestral secret book.

Punishment for failure: Steward Liu would flee; Territory wealth value -50000.”

Damn it, this is a trap!

It’s a time-limited mission!

I knew the system wouldn’t be so kind as to give me such an easy task!

Such a treacherous system…

Su Ran muttered to himself, but on the surface, he wore a comforting smile and said to the already shell-shocked steward Liu, “Little Shitou is very lucky and will be fine.

Don’t panic, manager Liu.

Give me ten days, and I will give you a satisfactory answer.”

“Thank you, my Lord, I am most grateful!”

Manager Liu promptly expressed his gratitude, bowing repeatedly.

“Manager Liu, no need for such formality, you should stand up!”

Speaking with mild irritation, Su Ran thought that such behavior could cost him some years of life.

Su Ran pulled the old beggar over and introduced him to Liu Sheng, “Manager Liu, the new member standing before you is the Architectural Grandmaster, Lu Yue.

Sir, this unimpressive-looking skeleton here is our territory’s steward, Liu Sheng.

You two should get to know each other and communicate.

You’ll be comrades in the same trench from now on!”

“Master Lu, I have long heard of your reputation.

However, I am not in the mood to mingle today.

I will surely pay you a visit some other day when things are better.

I hope you understand.”

Steward Liu had no interest in getting to know Lu Yue at the moment.

If he were not bound by the territory’s limitations, he would have left the village to search for his grandson.

“Manager Liu, there’s no need for such worries.

Our Lord’s luck is extraordinary, something I’ve rarely seen in my lifetime!

With him taking action, Little Shitou is assuredly safe!”

The old beggar, being a man of vast experience, was quite aware of Su Ran’s unique abilities and greatly admired him.

“I hope so, my Lord.

I will leave now and await your good news.”

Without uttering another word, Manager Liu turned toward the Internal Affairs Hall.

However, his departure was gloomy.

His footsteps, one heavy and one light, evoked sympathy.

“Sir, don’t worry about Manager Liu.

He’s easy to get along with.”

“I understand Manager Liu’s current mood.

Gou Dan’s fate remains uncertain.

In the beginning, I felt the same way as Manager Liu does now, filled with regret and helplessness.

But what can we do about it?

I’ve come to terms with it, believing that our Lord will bring Gou Dan back safe and sound, so I no longer obsess over it.”

The old beggar spoke plainly.

He had not forgotten about Gou Dan’s life or death situation.

“Thank you for your trust, sir.

My next destination is the Demon realm!

When we find the Demon Blood Pool, we will definitely save Gou Dan!”

Su Ran spoke confidently.

After all, Gou Dan had become his follower, so saving him was also beneficial to him.

“My Lord, I’m waiting for your good news too!”

The old beggar was very grateful and continued speaking to Su Ran, “My Lord, please continue to earn wealth.

The blueprint for the Heaven and Earth Bank requires 50,000 wealth to construct.”

“Wealth?”

Su Ran paused for a moment, then remembered the piles of equipment he obtained from the Imperial City Equipment Depot; they were still dutifully stored in his bladder!

He had been so busy recently, he completely forgot about them!

“Sir, obtaining wealth is simple.

Just wait a moment!”

Having said that, Su Ran bid farewell to the old beggar and ran towards the Internal Affairs Hall.

“My Lord, what makes you rush over here so hurriedly?

You just left a moment ago and you came back looking for this old man.

Did you find any useful clues?”

Seeing Su Ran sprint towards him, the Bone Soul Ghost Fire burning in Liu’s eyes flared up in anticipation, as he spoke urgently.

“Manager Liu, look at my poor memory.

I forgot to exchange some wealth with you just now!”

Once he arrived in front of Liu Sheng, Su Ran chuckled, “How can clues be found so easily?

Once I finish up the territory affairs, I will set off immediately!”

“Oh, I see.”

Upon realizing his misunderstanding, Liu Sheng’s expression immediately dimmed.

Su Ran didn’t have time to consider Liu Sheng’s feelings.

Looking around and seeing that the Internal Affairs Hall was spacious enough, he began the strenuous task of transporting the equipment.

“Clatter, clatter!”

Within a short amount of time, Su Ran had amassed two piles of equipment.

“Woah, my Lord, where did you pilfer this equipment from?”

Steward Liu was dumbfounded and only managed to stammer after Su Ran finished retrieving all the equipment.

Looking at Su Ran, he appeared like a superior being, evoking in Liu a desire to worship him!

“Why ask so much?

Whatever is in one’s pocket is rightfully theirs.

Exchange all of them!”

With a wave of his hand, Su Ran spoke with great bravado.

It was not his to begin with so he was not worried about the system reclaiming it!

“Fine, my Lord, please wait for a moment, um, give me an hour.”

Having said that, Steward Liu dove into the pile of equipment and began to work diligently.

Seeing Liu working intently, Su Ran sighed in relief.

Finally, Liu’s spirit seemed to be returning…

About an hour passed.

Liu finally finished sorting the equipment, holding his back in discomfort as he grumbled, “Oh my poor back, I almost broke it!”

“Manager Liu, you’ve worked hard.

You’ve devoted your precious time and energy for the prosperity of our territory.

We will never forget your efforts and hard work!”

Su Ran quickly flattered Liu.

He was curious as to how much wealth the equipment would yield.
