Chapter 179: Chapter 179: Submitting the Task Chapter 179: Chapter 179: Submitting the Task All three Skill Books he acquired were to be learned at Level 30, and they were quite impressive skills. Particularly Lin Luor’s Healing Flash, an instant heal skill that was even more extraordinary. Coupled with Lin Luor’s own equipment healing amount, the use of this skill was not merely for 2895 life points.

An instant heal skill is a dream come true for any support healer in a Priest profession. Its value is self-evident.

The Killing Commander’s Assault Stance is a boosting skill. It is used on oneself and significantly increases the Attack Power. Skills like this that enhance attributes are actually quite rare. For high-burst professions like the assassin Killing Star, boosting skills are even more valuable than active attacking skills.

As for the Law Protector’s Mana Recovery skill, well, having it is better than not!

This time, a total of 2 Black Diamond Grade equipment, 3 Platinum equipment, 3 Red Nobleman equipment, and 12 Green Noble Equipment were collected. One of the Black Diamond Grade pieces was a piece of jewelry which was intended for close combat professionals.

Chu You was quite quick in picking up equipment. From the time he disembarked, right up to this closing phase, a total of only 3 minutes had been spent.

After he had done all this, Chu You returned to the ship and the battleship started up again.

After the slaughter just now, it seemed as if the Beast Race in this area had reduced significantly. Although there were still roars of beasts, they came from much farther away, making this area quite quiet.

The journey was quite boring. The Army Chief was not very intelligent, and after a bit of a chat, he retired to rest.

Feeling bored, Chu You opened his friend list. He noticed that Killing Commander was inside a Level 15 instance. When he saw the name of the instance, Chu You couldn’t help but laugh.

“Old Kill, how’s the instance progress?”

“Hmm, all good. Pretty steady. Cleared the second stage too,” Killing Commander promptly replied.

“Did you explore the entire map?”

“Hmm? Boss, do you know something?” Killing Commander quickly sensed something unusual.

“Do you remember the dark large wooden door in the first stage? It’s a decoration and can’t be opened. But how about the corner to its left, you should check it out!” Chu You referred to a location that an ordinary person wouldn’t look at as there weren’t any monsters and the big wooden door obviously couldn’t be opened, so players typically just hurried past.

Chu You knew that each time he entered that instance, there was a slight chance that a Platinum Treasure Chest would spawn in that hidden spot he just mentioned, albeit the probability was quite low.

Level 15 Dungeon, Killing Commander and his group were probably the first batch of players from Yan Kingdom to enter. As a hidden reward, there was a high chance of a treasure chest spawning!

Soon, a surprised voice from Killing Commander came over: “Boss, there’s really a treasure chest, and it’s a Platinum one. I got a Level 15 Platinum Dagger Weapon! As a Killstar profession, who dual wield, the greatest advantage of the weapon is its fast attack speed.” Killing Commander had already reached Level 17, so he immediately replaced his left hand’s Green Noble Weapon.

Killing Commander was still in the instance, so it wasn’t good to disturb him too much. After telling him about it, Chu You looked at Lin Luor and found that she was also inside an instance, and the name of her instance was unfamiliar to him. It looked like her S-rank hidden mission had entered a critical phase.

As for Jiucaier, well, almost all of his friends were inside instances, except for Zhao Feiyan.

System: You have entered Luo River!

After clearing several tribes, the refresh rate of Luohe Beast Tribe significantly dropped. Upon entering here, not even one beast shadow could be seen.

Thus, without any surprise or danger and utterly boring, after about 50 minutes, Chu You’s battleship finally arrived at the Night Gate Pass.

As they got close, Army Chief woke up serendipitously.

“Is this the fortification built by sir?” Even though the sky was dark, the grand outline of the Night Gate Pass was still visible. It was a majestic stronghold, Army Chief said with an uncertain expression.

“Indeed, it can withstand a major flood that occurs once every 500 years and it also has defensive capabilities, it is armed with large cannons, and its lookout tower is high, which allows for a broader view,” Chu You introduced from the side.

“With this fortification built by sir, the Rebels won’t be able to pass through by water, and we can also monitor the Beast Race. Your Night Gate Pass is contemporary in function and timeless in benefits! With our lives now greatly secured at your Night Gate Pass, we owe you a great favor!” Army Chief said with an admiring look. He finished off by bowing deeply to Chu You.

The battleship finally docked at the shore and opened its gangway to let the troops disembark.

Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

“I need to go back and report to the Grand Marshal, so I won’t be staying here.”

“Very well, very well, I am deeply grateful. Farewell!” After another bow, the Army Chief walked down the steps.

Soon, Chu You was controlling his warship heading towards the Super God Guild.

Once the Army Chief arrived at the gate of Night, he picked up a pen and wrote down everything he’d seen on paper, with no less than 5,000 words praising Chu You. Then he attached the letter to a flying illusory beast’s leg, having it carry the letter to the Grand Marshal’s mansion.

Chu You was more certain than ever of recruiting a Hero NPC. If he had a heroic subordinate, he could now instantly teleport back to the city, instead of ‘escorting’ the warship into the nest as he currently was.

After some time, Chu You finally entered the shore within the Super God Guild’s jurisdiction. Once the warship was docked, Chu You immediately chose to return to the city.

Immediately, a light flashed, and Chu You appeared in the capital of Yan kingdom, having previously set his return point within the royal city.

Once there, Chu You swiftly headed towards the Grand Marshal’s mansion.

The gatekeepers of the Grand Marshal’s Mansion had long since received notice that if Night Ghost arrives, there is no need to report, just directly escort him to see the Grand Marshal!

So, Chu You easily made his way into the Grand Marshal’s mansion.

Warm Monarch was well-informed. As soon as Chu You entered, she was waiting nearby, her eyes sparkling mysteriously as she watched him.

“Brother Night, you’ve finally arrived, hehe!” said Warm Monarch in a particularly melodious voice, standing there with a lively demeanour.

“How come you’re here?” Chu You was a little surprised; this hero really was enthusiastic about him.

“I heard you were coming, so I was waiting for you here.” Warm Monarch twirled her hair with a charming blush colouring her face.

“There’s no need to wait on me. Let’s go, Grand Marshal is waiting.” After saying that, Chu You strode away, with Warm Monarch immediately catching up, purposefully or not prying Chu You for some information about the players.

Warm Monarch was really special. As Chu You looked at the bright-eyed girl by his side, he couldn’t help but think. In his experience, many Hero NPCs wouldn’t bother themselves with player affairs. They seemed to accept that players were a part of this world and didn’t find it strange.

But the girl in front of him was different. She was full of questions, especially when she blurted out, “In the main world, does Brother Night have family?” which startled Chu You.

When an intelligent NPC starts talking about things in the player’s real world, it means this NPC has a high level of autonomy and freedom, which is exceptionally rare.

Last time he didn’t have enough time to spend with Warm Monarch, but Chu You was seriously considering it now.

Soon, Chu You saw the Grand Marshal!

The Grand Marshal was still in his official outfit, obviously indicating he had just returned from the palace and hadn’t had time to change.

“Ah, Night Ghost, you’re here, come inside and sit.” Then the Grand Marshal glanced at his daughter with a stern look, “Hurry on your way!”

“Hmph!” Warm Monarch huffed, her mouth pouted as she walked off elsewhere.

Inside, the two sat opposite each other, just like last time, a blue-porcelain teacup was placed in front of Chu You.

“You did a very good job, the court approves of your deeds, the Yan Emperor is very pleased with you!”

When the Grand Marshal said this, Chu You heard the system’s prompt.
