After walking through Roland City for a while and passing through two streets, Su Chen came to a small house.
The house looked very dilapidated, and the walls were full of potholes, giving the impression that it would collapse immediately if the wind blew.
"It should be right here."
Su Chen stepped forward quickly, not caring whether there was anyone inside or not, and pushed the door open directly.
"Squeak!"
The wooden door rubbed against each other, making a harsh friction sound.
And just then...
"Pfft!!"
An arrow suddenly shot quickly from the depths of the house with the sound of strong wind.
An arrow of this magnitude would not hurt Su Chen.
He just tilted his head slightly and snatched it away.
"Get out, adventurer."
"You are not welcome here."
An old man in clothes walked out of the house.
This old man wore an animal skin, held a long bow, and carried a spear. Although his hair and beard were all white and he looked very old, his body was extremely strong.
The muscles on his body are slightly bulging, proving that this old man is not the kind of bad old man who has no strength to restrain himself.
[Old Hunter——Cook Lv30]
Su Chen raised his head and glanced at the name above the old man's head, confirming that it was the target he was looking for.
There was a smile on his face, and he didn't care at all about his rude behavior just now.
"I say it again, get out, adventurer, I don't welcome anyone here."
[Cook]'s eyes were cold, and an arrow appeared out of thin air in his hand, ready to go, pointing directly at Su Chen's head.
"Haha, Mr. Cook."
"I heard from people in the city that you have been looking for the Red Fire Tiger King. I originally brought you news about it this time."
"But since you told me to get out, then I have no choice but to leave."
"It's a pity that you will miss the news of finding the Red Fire Tiger King."
Su Chen pretended to straighten his collar, sighed, and turned around to leave.
But when the words "Red Fire Tiger King" were spoken.
[Cook]’s eyes changed.
He stepped forward suddenly and grabbed Su Chen's shoulders with excited eyes.
"What were you talking about just now? Do you know about the Red Fire Tiger King?"
"Tell me, adventurer, you must tell me, I want to kill that bastard."
"That's what it was, swallowing my wife's life right in front of my eyes."
Su Chen glanced at [Cook] lightly, his eyes full of teasing: "But didn't you just say that no one is welcome here?"
"Sorry, sir, I made a slip of the tongue." [Cook] apologized quickly.
Over the years, he has been looking for traces of the Red Fire Tiger King and wants to avenge his wife.
But there has been no news.
The existence of the Red Fire Tiger King has almost become a demonic obstacle for him.
"I can tell you the news about the Red Fire Tiger King."
Seeing [Cook]'s expression of excitement, and even crying quickly, Su Chen didn't bother to tease him anymore, and said directly: "But, Mr. Cook, do you think even if I tell the news about the Red Fire Tiger King? Are you, are you his opponent again?"
The Red Fire Tiger King is a level 35 platinum-level boss, extremely powerful.
"This..." [Cook] hesitated for a moment, and then said with hatred in his eyes: "Even if I am not its opponent, I must make him pay the price."
"Haha!" Su Chen chuckled: "In that case, Mr. Cook, why don't we negotiate a deal?"
"What deal?"
"It's very simple. I will take action directly to help you kill the Red Fire Tiger King and bring its head back to you."
"In return, I'm going to take something from you."
Su Chen's voice was calm.
"Yes, as long as you can help me kill the Red Fire Tiger King, you can take everything I have here, including my life."
[Cook] had a firm voice.
Su Chen nodded and said, "I'm not going to take your life, I'll just give you your ancestral gems."
"Heirloom gem, is this what you are talking about?"
[Cook] doubtfully took out a prismatic gemstone from his arms.
But the gemstone was completely black and very dull, without the luster that other gemstones should have.
[Copy Gem]
[Quality: Special props, no quality. 】
[Type: Secret realm token. 】
[Effect: Holding this road to the map - Frozen River can open the passage to the dungeon - Pollution Land. 】
[Tip: The Contaminated Land is a special reward copy. If you kill monsters in it, you will receive extremely generous rewards. After passing the level, you will also receive extremely generous rewards. 】
...
"This is it!"
Looking at the gem in [Cook]'s hand, Su Chen couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
This [Dungeon Gem] was clearly Su Chen's target.
Through this gem, you can enter the dungeon [Polluted Land].
[Polluted Land] This copy is very difficult, but the rewards are also very generous, and the monsters in it have a chance to explode a special prop called [Experience Stone], which can directly gain experience points.
In his previous life, Su Chen accidentally triggered a mission from [Cook], obtained the [Dungeon Gem] and entered the [Polluted Land] dungeon.
Looking at that copy, he raised his level to the forefront among players in a short period of time, rising step by step, and eventually became the strongest player among players.
It can be said that if he had not entered the [Polluted Land] copy, it would have been difficult for him to become the strongest in his previous life.
Seeing Su Chen's excited look, [Cook] silently put away the [Dungeon Gem], and then said: "Adventurer, I can give this to you, but the condition is that you must give the head of the Red Fire Tiger King Bring it to me."
As [Cook] finished speaking.
A prompt also popped up in front of Su Chen's eyes.
[Ding Dong, congratulations on triggering the hidden mission - Cook's Revenge. 】

Looking at the mission information in front of him, Su Chen decisively chose to accept it.
After waving goodbye to [Cook], Su Chen didn't waste any time.
He directly grasped the [Hunter's Arrow] in his hand and walked quickly towards the outside of Roland City.
