Net Game: All My Pet Beasts Are Goddesses Chapter 69 – Platinum Grade Set Equipment! the All–Powerful +10 Buff!

Just as the players headed to the third floor, Jiang Bai had already found the NPC mending the wall. And just as he remembered, the NPC was holding a tool, continuously poking small holes on the surface.

As he had to ensure that the forthcoming wall-mending task would proceed smoothly, he needed to make some slight adjustments to the wall.

Yet, little did the NPC know that a sudden gust of wind would suck him out of position.

Buzz.

It was a muffled sound.

A strong wind brewed and tore into the space.

The NPC still had his eyes fixated on the 3 feet tall wall, poking holes. As the wind dashed in violently, it blew away the tools he was holding before he could start repairing the wall. Had he lost his firm stance, the wind might have blown him away too.

“Careful there!” Jiang Bai rushed over and grabbed the NPC by his arm.

“Thank you, my savior!” The NPC was relieved, returning a grateful glance to Jiang Bai after surviving a calamity.

[Ding! Congratulations, Maise the God! You have triggered a hidden quest!]

[Quest name: Saving a Life.]

[Difficulty: Silver.]

…

[Ding! Congratulations, Maise the God! You have completed a hidden quest!]

[You have received a reward!]

[Congratulations, Maise the God! You have obtained: 30 platinum-grade forging materials!]

[Reminder: platinum-grade forging materials can be used to forge any platinum-grade equipment to increase the number of enhancements!]

…

A voice rang out.

The wall-mending NPC revealed an appreciative expression. He took out a heap of materials that emitted a faint green glow from his backpack.

When Jiang Bai did not reach his hand, the NPC said with excitement, “Please accept this, my savior. If it weren't for you saving my life, I would have gone straight to hell!”

And as he spoke, the NPC forcibly stuffed the materials into Jiang Bai's backpack.

It was then Jiang Bai accepted his reward. He had come all the way here for the platinum-grade forging materials.

“Now that I have the materials to strengthen my weapon, I'll need platinum-grade equipment pieces!”

Jiang Bai scratched his head. According to his memories, the best way to obtain platinum-grade equipment before level 20 was through the Dragon's Lair Dungeon. If he couldn't get any good drops from this dungeon, he would have to wait until level 20 before he could go to the open field to farm by killing more vicious monsters.

While Jiang Bai got lost in his thoughts, beside him was Su Muxue, who had her mouth wide open in disbelief. “Didn't you only grab his arm? I can't believe he gave you such precious materials. How is this even possible?”

With her gaping, Jiang Bai chuckled. It was easy to explain everything.

“Look, if I don't grab his arm, he'll die, won't he? Let's draw a comparison. Which one's more important? A person's life or platinum-grade forging materials?” Jiang Bai looked straight into Su Muxue's eyes.

Immediately, everything made sense. “True. If a man died, what's the point of obtaining the reward?” Su Muxue exclaimed.

After obtaining the platinum-grade forging materials, Jiang Bai found a hidden place in his backpack to store them. They were precious, after all. If he could forge a complete set plus a +10 buff, he could do whatever he wanted in his early levels. Moreover, with his weapon strengthened, he would stand a chance of winning a fight with players wearing diamond-grade equipment.

At this instance, Su Muxue frowned.

Jiang Bai noticed it. He was puzzled. What's wrong with the chick? Why the change in her expression?

Just as he was busy with his thoughts, Su Muxue shook her head. “These people… they get on my nerves!” she said, clenching her fists.

Although Jiang Bai didn't get it, he had already discovered why she was agitated. Was there anything on the regional channel? What made her this angry?

Being in doubt, Jiang Bai tuned in to the regional channel.

The words “employment mission” fleeted across the user interface. People were chattering about the employment mission with sensation.

“I heard the Grand Sea Guild went all out. They emptied 10,000 gold coins from their chest, and with a silver and a gold set of equipment each, they issued an employment mission!”

“Hear me out, guys. Assassinating Maise the God is a platinum-level employment mission. Let's not take it lightly. It only means that his level is higher than we imagined.”

“Who cares? I can't take the mission anyway. I can't even gather 500 gold coins, after all.”

“…”

Jiang Bai flipped through the channel history and smiled. He finally understood why Su Muxue was infuriated moments ago.

“It's fine. It's just a bunch of nincompoops gathered together. Nothing to be afraid of.”

Jiang Bai waved his hand at Su Muxue with confidence. No matter who accepted the mission, he was sure most of them would be rookies. Those rookies only took it to test their luck as the reward offered by the Grand Sea Guild was appealing. Once they won it, it was equivalent to receiving a first-time top-up gift pack.

Unfortunately, the game devs did not open up a channel for top-ups in the real world. Otherwise, the Grand Sea Guild would have invested more in issuing their employment mission.

“But more than 300 people have already accepted the quest… It's already one-tenth of the people who had entered the dungeon!” Su Muxue threw him a worried look.

In the dragon's lair, thousands of people had entered and triggered the dungeon quest. Yet, more than 300 people in this space had accepted the employment mission.

It meant that they had to be on guard at all times. None of the duo knew who had accepted the mission, their hearts greedy for the reward.

“Not to worry. I'll be fine,” Jiang Bai said indifferently. To him, those people only served the purpose of delivering him more equipment.

“Let's see if we can get the inventory expansion coupon from them. I don't have enough space in my backpack, and these people come just in time. Not only will we send them back to the resurrection point, but all their equipment will also be mine!” Jiang Bai smirked coldly as a firm idea formed within his head. Since the Grand Sea Guild's caught in his crosshairs, no one should blame him for what would be coming next.

At this instant, Su Muxue's gaze couldn't help but darken. Though Jiang Bai looked determined, she was beyond worried for some reason. There were a total of 300 mercenaries coming after him, after all.

…

“Chen Feng, why aren't we accepting the mission?” Joshua looked at his companion in puzzlement. He couldn't understand why they were rejecting the player-issued employment mission when all the while they were mercenaries.

Facing his doubt, Chen Feng replied indifferently, “Say, who do you think offers more rewards? The drop from Maise the God or the prize Grand Sea Guild has offered?”

“Of course, we're going after the equipment and item drop from Maise the God. Now let's keep a low profile and stick to the shadows.”
