…

“Ding! Mission completed [Escape Interception, Arrival at Forward Charge City]. Reward: Forward Charge City Reputation 5,000.”

The notification sound also sounded afterward. Chu Qi opened the Reputation Shop in Forward Charge City and checked the goods inside.

Treasure Vault of the City Lord

At this moment, Chu Qi’s Forward Charge City Reputation was only enough to unlock the Beginner Reputation Store.

As a main city at the border, most of the Reputation Stores were used for combat and were very suitable for players.

However, in this Reputation Store, the price of the most ordinary sword was extremely expensive.

However, its attributes were also far higher than ordinary equipment of the same level.

Chu Qi had just stopped when a call from the real world came.

Chu Qi walked out of the gaming capsule and picked up the phone.

“Hey! Brother Chu, I’m in the game you mentioned. Damn, there are so many gods in this game.”

“Which city are you in? I came to take you on a mission.”

“I’m in Forward Forward Charge City, and I’m taking on a mission at the headquarters of the city guard… My ID is [Withered Leaf].”

“That’s good. I’m preparing to submit my mission at the city gate. I’ll come online to find you…”

Chu Qi hung up the phone and entered the game again.

After passing through the city gate in front of him, a bustling street appeared in front of him.

“Unrelated people are prohibited from entering!”

“We’re here to help!”

“Why can’t you let us in? We could still come in yesterday!”

…

Noise came from ahead as a group of people surrounded a building.

This was the headquarters of the city guard. Many people were stopped at the entrance and were not allowed to enter.

There happened to be a player named [Withered Leaf] in the periphery of the crowd.

Chu Qi walked up and patted his shoulder. [Withered Leaf] turned its head, revealing Liang Yuan’s face.

“Chu Qi, I’ve been trying to find you for so long.”

Liang Yuan saw Chu Qi and spoke in surprise.

“I just came in. Of course you can’t find me. Why are you standing here and not going in?”

Chu Qi looked at Liang Yuan, who was motionless. He only looked at the entrance of the city guard headquarters. What was going on?

“Don’t mention it. I don’t know why the City Lord isn’t available today. Many people who want to do missions can’t enter.”

Liang Yuan sighed helplessly.

“It’s okay. I’ll take you in.”

As they were talking, Chu Qi ignored the precedent of these people being stopped and walked over with Liang Yuan. He had no intention of stopping.

The surrounding people saw this and sneered.

“Another two people who are still deluded and want to barge in.”

“It won’t be long before the city guards throw them out.”

“I bet they’ll be driven away when they get to the door.”

Facing these discussions, Chu Qi completely ignored them. The city guards at the entrance saw Chu Qi.

They did not treat him like the others. Instead, they greeted him respectfully.

“Respected warrior Falling Dust, your deeds outside the city have already been spread by the Centaur Tribe. City Lord Dylan and the City Guard Captain Ai Wen are waiting for you inside.”

Then, the two guards looked at Liang Yuan. He felt uncomfortable being stared at.

“This is my brother. He’s coming with me.”

Hearing this, the guard turned around, opened the door, and began to lead the way.

Under the escort of the two city guards who were guarding outside, Chu Qi’s journey was smooth.

The surrounding players’ faces turned green and white, and they could only retreat resentfully.

After entering the city guard headquarters, the City Lord was sitting at a table and talking to Ai Wen.

The two city guards who led the way brought Chu Qi and Liang Yuan to this place and left without informing the two people who were discussing.

Chu Qi knocked on the door lightly twice and coughed.

The crisp sound caught Dylan and Ai Wen’s attention.

“So you’re Falling Dust. Sit!”

Chu Qi’s appearance made Dylan become very enthusiastic. He didn’t care about Liang Yuan who was standing at the side and began to entertain Chu Qi.

Dylan wasn’t like the other NPCs who only knew how to say these words that had been set up. His expression was no different from a real person in Chu Qi’s eyes.

Chu Qi casually found a chair and sat down. Then, he explained everything that he had encountered.

“The Burning Legion… after so long, they have appeared again. War is coming!”

Long before Chu Qi arrived, Dylan had already received the high priest’s prophecy that a powerful enemy would descend again. It was just that the long period of preparation had been fruitless, causing Dylan to let down his guard.

Now that he had obtained news about the Burning Legion again, Dylan attached great importance to it.

“Warrior, I have a difficult mission for you now. The Burning Legion has already descended again. We need help.” Dylan muttered to himself. Then, he looked at Chu Qi and held his hands.

“I hope you can go to the nearby Magical Beast Mountain Range and find the Centaur Tribe and the Werebear Tribe to help Forward Charge City resist the vanguard of the Burning Legion.”

Chu Qi was stunned. The Centaur Tribe had always been on good terms with him. Wasn’t this mission just to convince the Werebear Tribe to help?

It was like a reward for free. Without any hesitation, Chu Qi accepted the mission.

“Ding! Received main mission: [Forming factions]

Mission Description: Facing the threat from the vanguard troops of the Burning Legion, just one main city is not enough. You need to find as many helpers as possible in three days.

Reward: Forward Charge City Reputation+10,000

Dylan called the two city guards outside the door in and handed Chu Qi a circular object.

“From Forward Charge City to the gathering place of the werebear tribe, you will pass by the Misty Forest. Ordinary people will not be able to tell the direction when they enter. Gebre and Adams are the ones who will bring you to the Misty Forest. This plate is called the [Lost Disc]. It will point out the correct path for you.”

[Lost Disc]
