Chapter 2: New Century (Epilogue)
Chapter 88: Players’ New Mission
Returning to the game on the Cain Continent, players immediately received a series of game prompts:
[Version Update Complete]
[Original Main Quest: Restore the Demi Kingdom has been modified to: Level Requirement Greater Than 40]
[Epic Side Quest 1: Expedition updated]
[Quest Description: Under the guidance of the Demi Goddess, you have decided to advance westward on the Cain Continent, where the vast Orc Empire is located. Obtaining the Demi artifact lost by the Bloodfang Tribe and offering it to the Goddess will greatly enhance your strength.]
[Quest Requirements: Attack and occupy the Bloodfang Clan, and obtain the Demi Artifact – Fang.]
[Quest Reward 1: All players who kill Orc forces will receive Contribution Points, which can be used to redeem equipment and mounts.]
[Quest Reward 2: Experience Points for all players killing Orc forces will be increased by 20%.]
[Quest Reward 3: The first hundred players to reach level 40 will receive the highest Epic Grade equipment rewards and some rare mounts.]
[Hint: Dawn Town remains as the Novice Village resurrection point. An additional feature has been added to resurrect near the protagonist Ye Hao by consuming more Experience Points.]
[New Version Adding Contribution Point Equipment Shop: Players can now redeem Fine Grade equipment and below by using Contribution Points and trading in old equipment. For equipment details, see the redemption shop.]
[New Version Adding Contribution Point Mount Shop: For mount details, see the redemption shop.]
[New Version Adding Mount System: Players can now tame mounts. System mounts do not require taming. (Mounts can be changed at any time)]
…
Witnessing the series of magnificent updates, the players were overjoyed, exclaiming that the developers had finally become human.
They eagerly opened the redemption shop, which displayed dazzling, exquisitely made Fine Grade equipment, with Blades, spears, clubs, and staffs of all kinds.
Then they looked at the mounts: majestic warhorses with a choice of seven colors, and even ferocious beast-kin direwolves, though the price was a bit steep…
Unlike the players’ excitement, Ye Hao, who already knew everything, curled his lips. It was a pity he couldn’t say anything.
The essence of Contribution Points was essentially the intrinsic energy of the Cain Continent obtained by players through various channels, such as turning in resources from chopping trees and mining, or the soul energy after killing enemies.
The Blue Star Will drew seventy percent of this energy, gave twenty percent to players as experience points, and distributed ten percent as Contribution Points. This neither affected players’ leveling up nor deterred them from striving to kill enemies.
Those flashy equipment and warhorses were all created by the Blue Star Will itself. It could now use the energy of the Cain World to create things out of thin air.
However, it could only create ordinary items for the time being.
As for the direwolves, players couldn’t afford the price of 30,000 Contribution Points yet.
Look at this pie, big and round.
By the time players could afford it, the Bloodfang Clan would have already been conquered. Would players still be short of mounts?
The most outrageous thing was the so-called Demi Artifact, the Fang Totem.
Ye Hao couldn’t even be bothered to complain. The Blue Star Will couldn’t even be bothered to change the name. This thing sounded like it belonged to the beast-kin, having nothing to do with the Demi-humans!
This was just an excuse to research the divinity of the Cain Continent.
…
One thousand miles away, at Winter Fort.
Xi Wei was unaware that the players were planning a sudden expedition.
Even if he knew, he wouldn’t have had the time to care.
After returning to Winter Fort, he had arranged all city defense matters and settled Saintess Ruo Yi.
Now, he was about to “punish” the little maid who had dared to block a sword for him.
Recalling the situation at the time, he felt more and more frightened, and a cold sweat ran down his back. What if the little maid hadn’t had the Holy Spirit Blessing?
He was different from Lori. After the church incident, he knew he had someone backing him, so he wouldn’t die so easily, because he was still a useful pawn.
But Lori didn’t. The being behind him wouldn’t possibly care about his little maid for her sake.
Therefore, if something happened to Lori, there would be no way to salvage the situation.
She must be punished!
Severely punished!
Xi Wei sat on his office chair with a solemn expression, while Lori knelt on his thigh, barefoot, her small hands gently pressing against his chest.
“Master~ Lori knows she was wrong, please don’t be angry anymore~”
“Hmm…” Xi Wei let out a faint hum, mainly because he hadn’t decided how to punish Lori yet.
Lori carefully Looked up at Xi Wei, her large hazy eyes filled with bewilderment.
She didn’t understand why Master had asked her to kneel on his thigh. Although her knees didn’t hurt, it was truly embarrassing.
A strange feeling tickled her heart, and she couldn’t help but stare blankly at Xi Wei’s profile, her mind wandering:
“Master is so handsome… Will our children be especially cute in the future?”
“But will they have ears and tails?”
“Is it possible they’ll only have tails or only ears?”
Thinking this, Lori’s pretty face flushed, and she also became a little flustered. She wanted to try it out with Master now, to see what kind of baby they could have, wouldn’t it be known by trying?
She raised her misty eyes and tentatively looked at Xi Wei, murmuring softly:
“M-Master…”
“Lori wants… wants to have… have with Master…”
“Have what? It’s broad daylight.”
Xi Wei rubbed his face at her words. Where was the solemn criticism he had planned? Where was the serious punishment?
The little maid’s words had completely broken his defense.
In fact, the moment Xi Wei couldn’t bear to make the little maid kneel on the floor and instead had her kneel on his thigh, he was destined to be the losing party.
Lori had no intention of listening to Xi Wei’s opinion. When it came to having children, she had always adopted an offensive strategy.
As she spoke, she pounced into Xi Wei’s arms. She opened her small mouth and gently bit his neck.
A gentle, moist touch came, and Xi Wei couldn’t help but groan, feeling a numbness from the base of his spine, and goosebumps erupted all over his body.
With the little maid pouncing on him like that, his seated posture on the chair became unstable.
To prevent the little maid from falling off him, he had no choice but to reach out and embrace Lori’s slender waist.
However, in his haste, his hand inadvertently brushed against Lori’s fluffy fox tail.
“Mmmph,”
The little maid let out a soft hum, her small body trembled, and her small mouth couldn’t help but leave a small, cute tooth mark on Xi Wei’s neck.
“Master, Master, you can’t just touch a Demi-human’s tail, only a husband can touch it. If you touch it, you have to take responsibility to the end…”
Lori’s pretty face blushed, and she murmured shyly.
She hooked her hands lightly, changed her posture, and her fox tail wriggled free. She curled up in Xi Wei’s arms like a cat, her entire body radiating a faint pink hue, her eyes misty.
Xi Wei stroked Lori’s large fox tail with one hand and held her waist with the other, looking at the little maid, who was like a puddle of mud in his arms, a little dazed.
“Responsibility?”
Xi Wei realized what she meant belatedly and squeezed her hand again.
