Chapter 13: The Goddess's Tears, Main Quest!
Chapter 13: The Goddess's Tears, Main Quest!
Anne had never expected Su Yu to deal such high damage, reducing her companion's health by 40% with just two rounds of spells!
She quickly cast her second skill—Lava Shield.
Thick flames enveloped her and Tibbers, the Giant Bear, adding a substantial layer of fire elemental magic shield to both of them.
With the Lava Shield, Tibbers' movement speed also increased dramatically, making him an even greater threat to Su Yu!
...
The magic shield was thick, and the faster-moving bear was more intimidating, but Su Yu's expression remained calm.
Two more spells were cast, a mix of lightning and fire, and the magic shield on Tibbers crumbled to pieces.
Su Yu then performed a graceful side flip, dodging Tibbers' bear paw, while the light of another spell shone in his hand.
Tibbers, despite his best efforts, couldn't even touch the infuriating human in front of him.
Anne's fireballs always narrowly missed Su Yu, just a hair's breadth away from hitting him.
Faced with Su Yu's relentless bombardment, the bear's health quickly drained, and it crashed to the ground with a thunderous thud.
Such a formidable boss, and Su Yu had taken it down so effortlessly!
In fact, the hidden quest wasn't supposed to go this way.
Tibbers' stats were no different from those of a regular level 6 boss, and with Anne's spell harassment, the level 8 boss combo of Anne and Tibbers was far more challenging than any other boss.
Ordinary players would have no chance of defeating this duo.
The standard quest progression involved luring Tibbers into the cave behind them, using the deadly traps inside to wear down Tibbers while ensuring their own survival.
The final part of the quest mainly tested the player's intelligence and luck.
However, Su Yu didn't choose to go into the cave. Instead, he directly fought and killed Tibbers outside the cave.
Perhaps among all the players, only Su Yu had the confidence to do this!
With Tibbers lying on the ground, the entire 20-part hidden quest was finally completed!
"Congratulations! You have completed the Excellent Hidden Quest: The Tears of Goddess Savie! Reward: 1000 Experience Points, 1 x Tears of Goddess (Excellent)."
At the same time, a slit appeared in Tibbers' bulging belly, and a crystalline, teardrop-shaped piece of equipment fell out.
It was the Tears of Goddess!
However, Su Yu didn't rush to pick up the equipment.
He smiled at the little girl, Anne, and said, "Are you done playing, Annie? How about Uncle takes you home for dinner?"
Su Yu didn't attack Anne because she had entered an Immune state at the start of the battle, making her invulnerable to both physical and magical damage.
Anne's face turned livid with anger.
After Tibbers fell, she lost the ability to continue casting spells at Su Yu.
"Hmph! We'll see! One day, I'll trap you in this thorny forest just like I did to Tibbers!"
Anne glared at Su Yu and then turned to walk out of the forest.
"Tsk, I doubt you'll get the chance!" Su Yu stroked his chin.
He raised his hand, and the Fireball Scroll was activated, burning the bushes to ashes.
With the bushes gone, how could she trap him?
Anne, watching Su Yu's actions from a distance, stumbled and nearly fell.
But she didn't say anything more and left the forest without looking back.
...
On the other side, Su Yu picked up the Tears of Goddess.
Tears of Goddess (Excellent)
Accessory
- Mana Cap Increase: +100
- Special Property: Each time you cast a spell, the Tears of Goddess grant an additional 3 points to your mana cap, up to a maximum of 360 points.
Note: A crystallized tear of Goddess Savie, hinting at misfortune and doom.
After maxing out the additional mana from the Tear of the Goddess, a new upgrade quest was unlocked.
Su Yu instinctively used Star Touch to upgrade the Tear of the Goddess to Rare quality.
Tear of the Goddess (Rare)
Accessory
- Mana Cap +150
- Trait: Every time you cast a spell, the Tear of the Goddess gains an additional 3 points to your mana cap, up to a maximum of 450 points.
The Tear of the Goddess has no level restrictions.
Furthermore, once the Rare-quality Tear of the Goddess is fully stacked, it can add a whopping 600 points to your mana! Considering that Su Yu currently only has 140 mana, equipping this would multiply his mana several times over! But that wasn't the main point.
Su Yu stared at the "Upgrade Quest" note on the Tear of the Goddess, lost in thought.
"An upgrade quest?! This is actually an item with an upgrade quest!"
Even Su Yu's usually calm face showed a hint of surprise.
Despite living a second life, he still found it hard to believe.
From his past life, he knew exactly what an item with an "upgrade quest" meant.
This meant—main quest! A main quest in the entire Evolution game world!
...
The Evolution game had many main quest lines, each with rich rewards.
Some legendary or even mythical equipment, skills, and mounts could only be obtained through these main quests.
One could say that players who successfully completed main quests in his past life were inevitably powerful figures! No exceptions!
Su Yu had only heard about "main quests" and "upgradable items" in his past life but never actually experienced them.
He never expected to encounter them so early in this life!
A sense of excitement welled up inside Su Yu.
However, he also warned himself, "Don't get overconfident! Main quests are not easy! In my past life, players who completed the Tear of the Goddess quest were permanently banned from the game, likely due to failing the main quest. I must be cautious!"
Su Yu forced himself to calm down.
After steadying his nerves, he headed towards the newbie village.
No matter what, he needed to stack the Tear of the Goddess in the wild monster zones first!
As Su Yu returned to the newbie village, he noticed a commotion at the entrance to Wolf King Valley on the village's western side.
"Hey! Mister, I heard you heard the song of Goddess Savie a few days ago?"
Xue Huo Luo, her face full of excitement, called out to the red-bearded woodsman in front of her.
She had just accepted a hidden quest.
Just 10 tasks, and she and her father had already leveled up to Level 2, much faster than grinding monsters!
The rewards from the hidden quest were also generous, giving both her and her father a green-quality weapon. She was very excited about the upcoming quest storyline.
However, the woodsman poured cold water on her enthusiasm, "I'm sorry, miss, my daughter Annie's wish has already been granted by another adventurer. We no longer need your help."
At the same time, Xue Huo Luo and Xue Huo Gao received a task failure notification.
Xue Huo Luo was stunned, "Who? Who took our hidden quest?"
Having a half-completed hidden quest snatched away felt like a fish bone stuck in her throat.
Xue Huo Gao, however, had a twinkle in her eye. She stepped forward and asked kindly, "Brother, can you tell me which adventurer granted Annie's wish? We are Annie's good friends and really want to know."
"I can't say," the woodsman dismissed them, shouldering his wood and continuing towards the village.
Xue Huo Gao calmly pulled out a piece of Wild Boar Meat from her backpack, her face beaming with a smile as she followed him, "Brother, wait! You must be very tired from cutting wood every day! This piece of wild boar meat is for you. Take it home and make a pot of soup to nourish you and Annie!"
