"I can speed up, but I need a team to do it." Wang Cai even gave up on going to Monstrous Mountain because time would run out.
There were only a few more hours left, but he still needed to travel for at least five days until he reached the territory of the Southern Continent.
His current level was 351. There are still almost a hundred and fifty levels left to be able to complete the quest.
To level it all off in a month would be impossible in normal ways. But Wang Cai had a way of doing it.
"If you can do this in a month, I can increase your rewards and help you as part of the group."
"I can accept doing this."
ding… ding…
"Virkas, the Human, has joined your party"
The system was announced automatically.
The party was created and the two were in it.
(Princess' HP and MP are equivalent to a level 00 player. Something strange about this quest… In my previous life, the player who took this quest only found that cave a year after. Until then, there were no quests related to the naga race, or they were being done and no one posted on the forums about it. I must have advanced something and changed the future...) Wang Cai understood that some of his quick actions were changing the future.
But none of that mattered to him.
As long as he managed to get his class, the Astral Gladiator, and maintain his causal life with his women and friends, everything would be fine with him.
"Princess, what are your skills?"
"I am an Arcane Swordmaster, but in this human form, I am considered the same. There is no difference between being a naga and a human using my power."
"Do you think you can fight with all your might in human form? You couldn't even swim, let alone fight." Wang Cai didn't believe her, as the scene from before already proved otherwise.
"This is different." Princess Virkas was embarrassed to hear about what happened before. She wanted to protest but chose not to move too much to keep the Giant Eagle from swaying.
The height was too great and it was certain death if the two fell from the air.
"We will go to the Southern Continent and then we will go to a special place to get stronger. When we reach level 500, we'll head to the Central Continent and head to the Temple of the Water Goddess. I'm already making arrangements for you to disguise yourself"
"I will follow your arrangements" Princess Virkas could only agree with that.
…
A week later…
"Bamboo Stick, you let me down by not going on the expedition. You made me look like an idiot for not showing up there." General Bene was displeased by Wang Cai's lack of respect for not warning him or going on the expedition.
"General, I have good minutes to not have gone on the expedition. That old man is keeping me busy with some things." Wang Cai spoke a lie and the truth at the same time.
The old man asked him to find treasures and powerful relics in the Agoria Kingdom, but he had to wait almost a year for that. Because the lunar eclipse was still going to happen.
So he was free to do other things.
There were still the Investigator quests, however, Wang Cai decided to do this after Princess Virkas' quests.
"That old man…" General Bene was speechless about the way Wang Cai addressed the former king of Agoria Kingdom, but he couldn't retort because it was a secret.
"If it's a matter related to him. I can let this go, but I hope you'll let me know next time. Because it is very difficult to find someone at the last moment to fill your spot."
"I know that. I apologize and this will not happen again."
"I hope"
Wang Cai left the headquarters using the Shadow Steps skill and returned to his shop.
When he received the system notification that his quest was canceled because he didn't show up at the place to join the expedition, he felt his heart bleed because he missed the chance to receive a very rare and useful skill for him.
On the other hand, Princess Virkas' quest was also very rewarding. Much more than just the skill to recruit NPCs.
If completed well, Wang Cai could receive similar or even better skills. So he bet on the princess's quest.
…
"Wang Cai, where will our next adventure be?!!!!" Lin Hai shouted using a whisper.
His excited and adventurous tone could be felt.
After finishing his class change quest, he felt he got a lot more powerful, but it still took some time to get used to using the new powers.
Princess Virkas stayed in the shop's training room to get used to using the human body. So she spent the last few days there.
"We will go to one of the forbidden locations in the Agoria Kingdom to level up. I need to reach level 500 before two weeks."
"IS THIS SERIOUS???!!!!!" Lin Hai didn't dare believe what he was hearing.
It sounded so insane.
Leveling almost a hundred and fifty levels in two weeks was improbable to do, but not impossible.
A group of just five would be difficult if it were before, but it was different now.
"BROTHER-IN-LAW, I'M BACK!!!" Yue He appeared in the animated room.
How did she appear in the Southern Continent so fast? It was supposed to take more than a month to arrive.
After completing her class change quest for Warlock, she didn't travel to the Southern Continent, she tested her class and leveled up many times until she got enough points to put in the INT attribute and level the skills to summon more demons to help in combat.
Yue He knew that just the class wouldn't be enough, she needed to know how to use the class. So she trained hard for a few days before making the trip.
But how did she arrive so fast? The time needed was about a month.
Her arrival was just a big coincidence.
During the time she was training Warlock's skills, Yue He found some strange temple ruins in some hidden place, the instant she entered the altar, she was transported to some distant place.
To her surprise, she arrived in the Southern Continent, but in another kingdom.
So, she asked her older sister to send a Return Scroll from the Agoria Kingdom to her through the post office.
Her current level was 284, but she could level up faster with everyone's help.
Now, Wang Cai's party just needed a healer. Unfortunately, it already had five members.
Wang Cai, Lin Hai, Snow Queen/Little YaoYao, Yue He, and Princess Virkas.
The party was formed.
Because Princess Virkas, Snow Queen, or Little YaoYao could not be part of the group. Only one of the two can travel with Wang Cai to the forbidden places.
