Capítulo 40: Other players doing the same quest
"Miss Snow, look around to see if there are any players around. They will be competitors" Wang Cai asked anxiously, as it was around this time that some players would appear.
"There is a group of players walking towards the temple, but they seem to have difficulty seeing because of the darkness. So they're using torches." She only got it because they had torches in their hands, without that, the only thing seen would be nothing because of the darkness.
"OK. I will be quick. You can keep watching." Wang Cai knew who those players were.
The first Astral Gladiators.
That group completed the secret quest and released the new class to the world. Because they had made tutorials on how to do the quest and published them on the internet.
In Wang Cai's case, he would just wait for others to do the quest and record it to show the world. Because I didn't want his name in these videos.
The eclipse has finally been completed.
The laser hits the center of the box.
crack… crack…
When opened, Wang Cai is a glass ball, but with many notches.
Without hesitation, he grabbed the item and ran towards the back, where there was a large statue of a woman kneeling towards the sun, moon, and star.
"You got Astral Sphere"
There was a button there, he pressed it and a door opened.
Quickly, he entered and locked it.
The corridor was long and deep, as it descended downwards.
Down there was a chamber with a hole to see the surface, the eclipse light was passing through the hole and falling on top of a stick with three bent ends.
The glass sphere is to be placed there.
The instant the light fell under the glass ball, the map of the Infinity World appeared.
But in a certain place, there was an X mark.
A photo was taken for him to remember where the X was.
Before leaving, he looked at every detail of the room using Film Mode before taking the Astral Sphere off the stick. For on the walls were drawings that could be clues.
"You can leave." He whispered to Snow Queen.
Finishing up, he used the Return Scroll to return to Plavin City.
In a few moments, a group of players arrived at the temple. The happy looks on their faces could be seen as they were doing a very rare quest for a special class.
Whenever a stage was completed, they would show these faces.
But the happy faces froze as they looked to the back of the hall.
The box was already open and the item inside was missing.
"FUCKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The group leader yelled very loudly to expel the anger and hatred he was feeling. They made so many sacrifices for others to get the reward.
The rest of the group let him scream and kick things around.
It didn't take long for them to understand what was happening.
"Someone else is doing this quest. We have to find out who it is and complete it before he does."
"But Ling Dong, what are we going to do? Without the quest item, we won't know the next step."
"The quest says there are temples like this on every continent. There are currently over twenty million players in the Infinite World, so there may be more than two people doing this quest. We just need to post on the forum to see what the others are and see what clues they have. If it's something useful, we can start a conversation about it."
"That's a good idea, but what if they don't want to speak up?"
"The only solution is to abandon the quest and do something else. Our clues end here… Wait…" Ling Dong looked around more closely and discovered something suspicious.
"Did something happen?"
"Yea. Look at this statue. But look at the dust. That side has handprints, but the other side doesn't have those handprints. Something must be hiding behind the statue. Let's look for the answer." He shouted excitedly as it didn't seem to be the end of the quest.
"ROGER!!!!!"
Before long, they discovered the button to the secret passage.
When they got to the end, they were excited to see new leads.
ding… ding…
"Quest, Way to the Astral(3), has been completed"
"Quest: Way to the Astral(4): You found clues in the temple of the astral worshippers, but their language is already lost for a long time. Decipher the clues on the wall to find the next clue"
Requirement: The previous quest. Rank: A
"We did it!!!! But where are we going to find someone who can read these old drawings?? Only someone who deals in antiques can know about that."
"In Meltq City, there's no such person. We need to go to another city."
'I know where to find this person. Let's go to Plavin City. A friend chose this city to start with, and he mentioned that there is an antique shop in town. The old man might know about it."
"Let's go there. This is our best lead." The group did the same thing as Wang Cai, recording the footage.
The group was not from Plavin City, so they had to travel using ground mounts.
It took about ten hours to get there.
"I asked my friend, he said it's this way" The group walked to the south area of the city, but it was too far away.
From the day Wang Cai passed through here until today, the number of people who passed by could be counted on one hand.
trim… trim…
The bell rang as the door opened.
The antique shop was still the same as before and the old man was still cleaning up the antiques.
"Hello old seller, we are curious about some old inscriptions and would like to know if you could help us read it" Ling Dong showed the video using an imaging device.
"I see... This is interesting... I'm sorry but I can't help you as I don't know how to read this ancient language." The old man looked at the video curiously but shook his head to say that he couldn't read.
"Mr old seller, if you don't know, do you know someone who can read this?"
"Yea. I know the right person to read this, but why should I tell you guys?" The old man was an NPC, he wouldn't answer anything that was asked.
Without enough friendship level, NPCs would never say anything.
"!!!!" His words irritated the group, but they understood the situation. They were just strangers to each other and didn't have the requirements for a conversation.
"Let's go" There was nothing else to do in the place but go out.
The old man locked the shop after some time and put up the closed sign. He walked to the back door.
"Old man, you really helped me" Wang Cai was sitting there waiting.
It was he who asked the old man to refuse the group's request.
Curiosity about new ancient relics was a great attraction for the old. Thus, he wanted to find out more about what Wang Cai showed him.
"Looks like they went to the same place you were. Show me the pictures again. I want to try to decipher what is written"
