The Eternal Sword Master of Online Games

Lin Chen took Elaine to find Captain Carlo. Captain Carlo shook Lin Chen to pieces in surprise and asked Lin Chen where he found Elaine.

After a while, Captain Carlo realized his rudeness and quickly took his strong palm away from Lin Chen.

"Sorry, I'm just... too excited."

Captain Carlo's expression showed some embarrassment, but quickly turned into expectation. He stared into Lin Chen's eyes, hoping to hear some good news.

"Feel sorry."

Lin Chen shook his head helplessly and said, "I will bring back Miss Elaine alone."

"Where are the others?" Captain Carlo couldn't help but step forward, putting great pressure on Lin Chen.

After Lin Chen thought for a while, he told Captain Carlo everything he saw in the cave, including the conditions of the other children.

After Captain Carlo listened, he saw him take a deep breath and first expressed his gratitude to Lin Chen.

"My friend, thank you very much for this information. I, Carlo, will always remember your kindness."

At this moment, the system prompt sounded in Lin Chen's ears.

"bite!"

"System prompt: [Redwood Town Guard Captain Carlo]'s favorability towards you has increased."

"bite!"

"System prompt: You have gained 0 reputation points in Redwood Town."

Lin Chen felt joy in his heart. This was an unexpected surprise. He did not expect that he would not only complete the task directly, but also receive a reputation reward.

Reputation is a good thing. As a player's local reputation increases, he or she will be able to gain a lot of convenience when interacting with local NPCs, whether accepting tasks or asking for help. In some cases, they can also obtain additional task rewards.

If the player's local reputation can reach the extreme, in some cases, the power of the guards can even be borrowed.

However, since the era of "Miracle", only one legendary player has achieved it in the past ten years. That player's ID is Shui Yue, ranked fourth on the Miracle list, a professional swordsman, and was once

It is known as the "First Sword of Miracles" and also known as "The First Sword of Miracles".

Shuiyue is a very cunning person. He is so mean that he has no friends. He likes to cause trouble. According to him, everything is for happiness, and he becomes happy when he sees others unhappy. Therefore, he is hostile to many forces.

, but it happened that he was very strong and very lucky, so everyone was helpless towards him, and gradually got used to him doing whatever he liked.

However, Shui Yue is very loyal and keeps his promise. For a promise, he joined a small guild that was originally unknown - the Dark Side of the Moon, and became honest. It was not until the small guild developed and expanded that he accepted the invitation of the president of Hades.

, joined Hades, participated in the largest national war in the history of "Miracles", and became famous for this battle.

Later, Shuiyue returned to Dark Side of the Moon and formed a team specifically to play games. That year, they won the runner-up in the national finals, but unfortunately lost to the Taojiang team by one point. Later, they announced that they would leave the game and take over the family.

The industry is gone.

Lin Chen had never had contact with Shui Yue. The reason why he could remember his name was because among the many footwork Yangliu Qingqing taught him, there was a footwork created by Shui Yue, which made Lin Chen curious and searched for it.

At that time, I was so impressed by Shuiyue's deeds that I almost fell into admiration.

Lin Chen came back to his senses and heard Captain Carlo say to him: "Now, we are going to go to the place you mentioned and rescue the other children. I hope it's not too late. We don't have too many people, so I just

I hope you can help escort Miss Elaine to the mayor."

"Please feel free to leave it to me." Lin Chen showed a confident smile.

"Okay, I will continue to leave Miss Elaine's safety to you." Captain Carlo laughed generously.

"bite!"

"System prompt: You have received the mission [Escorting Elaine], mission difficulty: C."

Sure enough, he received a mission, and Lin Chen noticed that it was only C-level difficulty, and there shouldn't be too many dangers. According to the mission description, the mission could be completed simply by sending the little girl to the mayor.

The next moment, he saw Captain Carlo showing an angry look and shouted to Joro on the side: "Hurry up, brothers, we must set off immediately!"

"Yes, my head!"

Soon, Captain Carlo led his men and left here quickly, leaving only Lin Chen and Elaine behind.

After Captain Carlo and others left, the little girl leaned on Lin Chen in fear. It seemed that only Lin Chen could give her a sense of security.

"I'll take you home right now."

Lin Chen smiled and gently touched the little girl's head. He felt happy after receiving such an easy task and a reward that was almost a free gift.

He opened the map and found the mayor's residence easily. However, he took the little girl with him and walked less than half the distance when he suddenly stopped.

Lin Chen took a deep breath and started again, but he did not go directly to the mayor's residence. Instead, he took the little girl and took a turn in the street, and finally they stopped in front of Ms. Polly's house.

Finally, he decided to tell the poor lady some sad news.

Regardless of the possible consequences, he still has to get the mission rewards. After all, he is an experienced player, and he still needs to have basic player qualities.

"Shh!"

Lin Chen first told Elaine not to speak for a while. The little girl grabbed Lin Chen's arm and nodded obediently.

Afterwards, Lin Chen knocked on the door of Ms. Polly’s house.

Ms. Polly quickly opened the door, first saw Lin Chen, and then noticed Elaine next to Lin Chen.

She turned her attention to Lin Chen again, with expectant eyes and a little bit of panic.

"Is it..." she said hoarsely: "Is there any news about Tom?"

"I……"

Lin Chen suddenly discovered that his lips were as heavy as lead, and it was so difficult to even open his mouth slightly.

Obviously as long as he told everything he saw, the mission would be completed and the mission reward would be easily obtained, but he just couldn't tell the truth.

At this moment, he suddenly understood that he was a person first and a player second.

Go fuck player literacy.

Lin Chen suddenly smiled and said, "I met Tom."

"What about others?" Ms. Polly also smiled.

"He can't come back now. He...well, was rescued by a powerful swordsman and became that swordsman's student. After that, he followed the swordsman, um...to a distant place for training. Shortly

He won't be able to come back within a short period of time. So he asked me to send you a message, asking you to take good care of yourself." Lin Chen made up a white lie.

"Is that so?" Ms. Polly looked at Elaine next to Lin Chen with doubt.

"ah?"

Elaine was stunned for a moment. She was also smart and reacted quickly, and then nodded in cooperation.

"That's great." Ms. Polly said excitedly, "Thank you so much..."

After that, Ms. Polly said a lot of thanks and blessings.

What follows is the system prompt sound for completing the task——

"bite!"

"System prompt: You successfully completed the mission [Missing Child] and received the mission reward: experience value +1800, eternal silver coins +500, and Redwood Town reputation +10."

Lin Chen was surprised. He didn't expect that he still completed the task, and the experience points rewarded by the task were more than he imagined.

Lin Chen did not dare to stay here for a long time. He felt a little guilty for facing Ms. Polly. After all, he had failed this poor lady's expectations, so he quickly left with Elaine.

"Are you a liar?" the little girl suddenly asked.

Lin Chen shook his head and explained: "Maybe, but I gave her some hope."

"I don't understand." The little girl was confused.

"When you grow up, you will understand." Lin Chen smiled.

This is all he can do. The most he can do is ask the mayor for help in concealing the truth when he meets the mayor. From now on, even if Ms. Polly gets the truth, no matter what happens, it will have nothing to do with him.

.

Lin Chen took Elaine back to the road leading to the mayor's residence.

Something's wrong!

Lin Chen suddenly noticed something unusual. Originally, this street was quite lively, but now - except for him and the little girl beside him, there were not even any players, let alone NPCs.

It's surprisingly quiet here!

"Ho ho ha ha ha..."

Suddenly, a burst of weird laughter rippled from all around. (To be continued)
