Chapter 259 Hidden Side Quest.
Chapter 259, Hidden Side Quest.
I thought this information would only help me understand the plot of the exploration.
Unexpectedly, this turned out to be a key to unlock a side quest.
Just as Qi Min turned to the third page and saw a researcher's notes, he suddenly heard the system notification sound.
[Ding! Congratulations to player 'Name' for unlocking a hidden side quest.]
This mission is a support mission issued by the monster experimenters.
This area is divided into four parts: Area A, Area B, Area C, and Area D.
The person who issued the task currently only has control over areas C and D.
For some unknown reason, there is a strong desire to reclaim the A and B areas that were forced to be divided.
Therefore, this task is now being released in the hope that all players who have started its side quests will cooperate.
Let them regain control of Area A and Area B, and integrate them to achieve unification of all areas.
Task 1: Players who trigger the task must reach the central area of area A and area B and find all the experimental data lost by the task issuer.
Task 2: Players who find the data need to go to the control centers in areas A and B, shut down the central system, and bring the data back to room 038 in area C.
Friendly reminder: Currently, both Area A and Area B are controlled by the Ghost Child No. 01. Players need to negotiate with it first and find out the location where the experimental data is stored.
Please note: Due to its creation, 'Ghost Child 01' possesses extremely powerful mind control abilities, capable of reading players' memories or influencing their thoughts.
It can also command all the ghost infants or monsters within its ghost realm and bring them under its control; players must be careful to prevent this.
Note: The reward for this hidden side quest is 3000 points. ...
Qi Min listened to the cold, impersonal system notification, lowered his eyes in thought, realizing that this task did not give them any choice.
Since he triggered the quest, the system has not asked him whether he wants to accept it, so it seems that this side quest is being accepted by default.
'However, number 01, the ghost child…'
The image of that young boy flashed through Qi Min's mind instantly.
That was the oldest ghost child he had ever seen.
But having seen so many ghost children, how could he be sure that the little boy was number 01 in this side quest?
Qi Min suppressed his thoughts and continued to look through the remaining information in his hand. Only after he had finished reading everything did he look up and meet Lin Yuan's calm gaze.
This person waited quietly for him to make his statement, appearing very patient and calm.
"You're being so generous by bringing out such a high-scoring hidden quest. Are you really that sure I can help you?"
Qi Min gathered the documents and asked Lin Yuan with curiosity, "This man seems to have been planning this all along, ever since we met again."
Not only did they not have many questions or inquiries about his appearance, but they also remained calm and composed throughout their previous conversations and various accounts.
The moment he agreed and accepted the information, a calm yet confident smile appeared on his face.
This also made Qi Min even more curious, which is why he was so eager to continue.
So, what is the real reason behind his efforts to cooperate with me?
Faced with Qi Min's question, Lin Yuan smiled slightly, his voice soothing and steady.
"Even for tasks with high points, you need to be confident enough to complete them. Originally, I estimated that there was only a 40% chance of completing them."
But after I saw you, it changed.
Your appearance gives me at least a 60% chance!
Lin Yuan spoke confidently, and then told Qi Min that he had actually seen Qi Min's figure when he was fighting with the ghost baby.
They also witnessed him interacting with the little ghost baby. Later, shortly after they escaped here, before they could even catch their breath, Qi Min reappeared.
Looking at Qi Min's strange appearance but completely unharmed, Lin Yuan began to wonder if he was not afraid of the little ghost baby's attack at all.
Or rather, the little ghost baby would never use indiscriminate attacks against other players on him.
Judging from the timeline, Qi Min should have followed them shortly after they escaped from those ghost children.
The fact that he was able to find us in such a short time shows that he wasn't bothered by any ghost children along the way.
"So, I guessed right, didn't I?"
Lin Yuan looked at Qi Min, and seeing the calm expression on his face, he spoke with even greater certainty.
Qi Min looked at him quietly, feeling both admiration and trepidation, based solely on their previous glimpse of him holding the little ghost baby.
It's quite impressive that Lin Yuan was able to boldly deduce from this that he was immune to the ghost infant's attacks.
However, Qi Min's feelings were actually within the scope of Lin Yuan's expectations.
What he didn't know was that Lin Yuan's suspicions about this didn't actually begin when he was holding the little ghost baby.
Instead, it was in the previous room that Lin Yuan noticed a strange phenomenon after discovering the cards were malfunctioning.
When Qi Min was swarmed by monsters, things were originally as Lin Yuan had planned.
Qi Min should have died first and then been resurrected, becoming a pastry that lures monsters and keeps regenerating, but there's no movement from Qi Min's side.
Moreover, as Lin Yuan calmly observed, he discovered that almost every single monster that was rushing towards them again was the same one.
They all attacked and bit Qi Min first before they started rushing towards them in a rage.
It was as if they had suddenly become enraged and their combat power had surged because they had gnawed on Qi Min's flesh.
So Lin Yuan wondered if it was because Qi Min had something on him.
They could have avoided these monsters and increased their combat power instead, but instead turned against others.
After discovering their host's death, they were influenced by something on Qi Min, which allowed them to ignore the lure of the card effects and charge at them in a frenzy.
After all, those monsters only started to surge in combat power after they bit him first.
However, the situation at the time did not allow him to think too much, so Lin Yuan could only temporarily stop his investigation.
After he and Yanlan escaped, they broke into Zone C and unexpectedly triggered a hidden side quest. While fighting with the ghost infants, he inadvertently saw Qi Min.
Only after confirming that it really was him did they continue with their previous speculation.
When they later realized the time it took him to arrive, they became even more certain that he must have something on him that could be used to evade the attacks of those ghost infants.
"Yes, you guessed right, but I must not tell you the reason, so..."
Qi Min looked into Lin Yuan's eyes, affirmed his words, and then changed the subject.
"Where should our collaboration begin, and what responsibilities do I have?"
