Hiding in plain sight?
Five days later, Luo Chen and Zen Master Nanchan boarded a plane flying to Hainan.
The so-called hiding in plain sight was actually very simple.
According to Zen Master Nanchan’s explanation, it was to accept a real-world mission ranked highly within the Horror Game.
Some of these missions had extremely rich rewards, and some were not very difficult, but very few people could accept them.
Because the merit points required were too exaggerated, easily reaching hundreds of thousands or even millions.
And once a real-world mission was accepted, even if Luo Chen was carrying the Crystal Skull, he could hide it from the Horror Game for a period of time.
Because by then Luo Chen would have a major mission on his back, and the Horror Game’s surveillance force would instead overlook those people carrying major missions, only checking them last.
Because although the Horror Game was very powerful, at least for now, it was rather rigid, always strictly adhering to rules, rarely flexible.
This was considered a loophole of the Horror Game, and it was also something Zen Master Nanchan had accidentally discovered.
And there were not many places in China where missions could be accepted, even fewer places to accept real-world missions.
Fortunately, Zen Master Nanchan still knew of one place, so he took Luo Chen there.
“By the way, Master, actually the troublesome ones are not just the Horror Game and the Wolf King. The Supernatural Association also seems to be investigating you,” Zen Master Nanchan reported to Luo Chen.
“The Supernatural Association?”
“Yes, they are generally responsible for the balance between supernaturals and ordinary people, and also for the balance among supernaturals. And the more troublesome thing is, Master, this time you have alarmed the King of Supernaturals.”
The commotion Luo Chen caused this time was indeed rather big. One could even say it directly alarmed the entire world. Several tens of thousands of Goryeo supernaturals were all killed by Luo Chen with a single sword.
You must know, in Asia, Goryeo and Japan had more supernaturals. Other countries relatively had far fewer.
Some international giants are not even supernaturals.
For example, the Wolf King, according to strength classification, might be late ninth level, or peak.
But the Wolf King does not belong to the supernaturals.
So speaking of supernaturals, although there are many, almost more than half were concentrated in Goryeo. Luo Chen this time essentially wiped out more than half of the supernaturals in Asia.
This matter naturally alarmed the King of Supernaturals.
It even greatly enraged the King of Supernaturals.
“There is a legend that the King of Supernaturals fused with an Egyptian pharaoh, his strength even more terrifying than the Wolf King.”
The King of Supernaturals had an enormous background. After all, he was someone who could be called king among supernaturals worldwide. His strength was almost unfathomable.
“So Master still needs to prepare early,” Zen Master Nanchan reminded.
Luo Chen frowned. If it would not implicate China, he would not care too much. Whether it was the Wolf King, the King of Supernaturals, or even those international giants, at worst it would just be a battle.
“Let’s go accept the mission first. Tell me about the missions,” Luo Chen spoke. For now, let’s hide from the Horror Game for a while first.
At least before the Wolf King comes, we cannot let those hundred-plus international giants come to China.
“We can only accept real-world missions. The top three missions now ranked: the first ranked mission is to capture the Immortal Palace in Norse mythology.”
“Capture the Immortal Palace?” Luo Chen was slightly taken aback hearing this.
“Yes, that is why this mission is ranked first,” Zen Master Nanchan let out a bitter laugh.
“Up to now, no one has dared to accept this mission, because it is completely going to one’s death. And it is said that actually a Crystal Skull is also hidden inside,” Zen Master Nanchan said this while glancing at Luo Chen.
“I am quite interested in this mission,” Luo Chen said. A sharp glint flashed in his eyes.
He was determined to obtain the Crystal Skull, and was also very curious about the Immortal Palace in Norse mythology. After all, that was the hall of the Norse gods.
But indeed the difficulty of this mission was not ordinary, because inside, perhaps the Norse gods truly resided.
And to accept this mission, it is said one must pay at least one million merit points. Who would be willing to spend one million merit points to go to their death?
“What is the second ranked mission?”
“Assassinate the King of Supernaturals,” Zen Master Nanchan said with a serious expression.
“No one has accepted it?” Luo Chen looked at Zen Master Nanchan in confusion.
If the first mission was indeed because the difficulty was too great and no one dared accept it, that would make sense.
But this second mission, in Luo Chen’s view, did not seem to have much difficulty.
Because although Luo Chen had not had much contact with the Horror Game, Luo Chen was certain that inside the Horror Game there were definitely very powerful old fellows.
Even some powerful cultivators might be inside.
“Someone has accepted it, but none succeeded. Those who accepted the mission all died in the end,” Zen Master Nanchan shook his head with a smile.
“A bit interesting,” Luo Chen’s brows raised.
It seemed he had still slightly underestimated the King of Supernaturals’ strength.
“What about the third?”
“The third one is a bit complicated,” Zen Master Nanchan said with an awkward expression.
After Zen Master Nanchan finished speaking, even Luo Chen revealed a strange expression.
“Heh, this third mission compared to the first two, actually makes people feel even more interesting,” Luo Chen smiled and shook his head.
Very quickly the plane arrived in Hainan.
Zen Master Nanchan was after all a local figure here, so he had long arranged for people to come pick them up.
Of course, Luo Chen could not make it as high-profile as Li Yaofan. Instead it was one car, very low-key heading straight to the destination.
That was a bar in the centre of Hainan City.
Luo Chen was somewhat surprised after getting out of the car, because according to Zen Master Nanchan, this bar was the boundary zone between the Horror Game’s reality and the game.
Luo Chen took a slight look and discovered that underground there was indeed an extremely massive formation, similar to a teleportation array.
At the entrance were two burly men, both supernaturals of third level or above.
Although the two men did not know Zen Master Nanchan and Luo Chen, Zen Master Nanchan’s driver made these two burly men extremely respectful.
Pushing open the door, at least on the surface, this was indeed a large bar, not showing any problems whatsoever.
Inside, it was packed with people, appearing extremely crowded. Upstairs and downstairs were full of people everywhere, even the corridors were full of people.
One could almost say it was bursting at the seams.
“Strange, this should not be. Why are there so many people tonight?” Zen Master Nanchan was slightly taken aback.
“Because normally this bar had almost no one coming, and the boss should not let so many people in either.”
“It is a bit off,” Luo Chen nodded, because the people in the bar were clearly not ordinary people at a glance.
Each one seemed to be some kind of big shot with status and influence.
The driver had quite a bit of face, actually reserving a private room in advance.
Very quickly a young girl carried drinks and walked in.
“What is going on tonight?”
“Why are there so many people?” Zen Master Nanchan asked that waitress.
“Because just now the number one person who shook China, Luo Wuji, came,” that girl said with an excited expression.
“Luo Wuji came?”
“Yes, you missed your chance. He just left.”
