If it were other players, chasing after each other with the evil spirit NPC would not cause any reaction from the evil spirit - no matter how intelligent the evil spirit NPC is, it only operates according to fixed procedures.
The main reason why the evil spirit NPC in front of him looked resentful was that Gu Ming's reputation value now reached 3000!
This attribute value is related to the NPC's attitude when facing players. Many hidden tasks require a high enough reputation value to be triggered. In the current Dawn Era, there are not many people with a reputation value exceeding 2000, and only Gu Ming has a reputation value of 3000+. .
When NPC faces Gu Ming, their attitude will naturally be different.
Seeing that the system had sent a warning, Gu Ming stopped playing. Since this task was triggered, of course he had to continue it and take a look.
He immediately approached the evil spirit, stopped, and actively let the evil spirit fall on him.
The evil spirit possessed him, and a chill spread throughout Gu Ming's body.
The cold female voice rang in his ears: "Send me back to my place of sleep, that mysterious ancient tomb, otherwise, I will become your eternal nightmare..."
"Reminder: You triggered the curse mission, Curse of the Evil Spirit.
Please take the evil spirit back to the mysterious tomb within three hours. If the task is completed, you will receive a reward of 1 gold.
If you fail, you will continue to be haunted by the evil spirit.
Note: This task cannot be refused! "
A prompt appeared in front of Gu Ming, and a three-hour countdown also appeared in front of him.
His map also marked the location of the ancient tomb at the mission location.
"This is indeed a cursed mission!" Gu Ming became interested.
There are countless randomly triggered tasks in the Dawn Era, and Gu Ming has also seen other people discuss similar curse tasks.
Some players picked up something on the road, or traded items from NPCs after completing tasks, which triggered a curse. They must complete the requirements as required to lift the curse and obtain certain rewards.
Otherwise, evil spirits will regularly harass the player, and it will be very troublesome for them to appear and attack the player when they are doing tasks.
The [Lost Letter] that Gu Ming opened out of the box is a similar item. If the letter is delivered to the target, it will be cursed.
"If I don't finish it, will I continue to be harassed by evil spirits?"
Gu Ming was thoughtful and rubbed his chin with his hand: "It's quite interesting to have an evil spirit come out every once in a while to harass you. It looks so eye-catching, just like an ornamental pet... The reward for completing the task is only 1 gold. Then why don’t I just destroy it?”
The voice of the evil spirit NPC rang, impatiently: "Please send me back, I will give you a generous reward, thank you."
Please complete the task!
Gu Ming was overjoyed. It was good to have a high reputation. It was okay to be able to bargain with the mission NPC!
"Can you tell me first what the generous reward is?" he asked.
The evil spirit NPC was silent for a moment: "If you can send me back and help me rest in peace, I can give you 2 gold and a piece of yellow equipment."
Gu Ming's eyes lit up slightly. The content of the mission had changed, and there was an additional content about resting in peace.
The rewards have also been increased, two golds plus a yellow outfit...
"Sorry, I don't need it." Gu Ming, who was dressed in green (Maple Warrior suit) said with disdain.
Yellow clothes, sending beggars away!
The evil spirit NPC was silent for another moment and changed the conditions: "If you can send me back and help me rest in peace, I can give you an identity card that was forgotten in the tomb - this is the most precious reward."
For now, don’t be ignorant...
ID tag? It seemed a bit interesting... Gu Ming accepted it as soon as it was good, and did not continue to bargain with the evil spirit. He reluctantly said: "Okay, I agree."
"Reminder: After friendly negotiation between the player and the 'possessed evil spirit', the mission has been changed.
You have triggered a hidden mission. Please bring the evil spirit back to the mysterious tomb within two hours, help it rest in peace, and free it.
After the mission is completed, you will be rewarded with an 'Archaeologist' identity card.
If you fail, you will be haunted by evil spirits for three days.
Note: This task cannot be refused! "
"The mission has changed from the original cursed mission to a hidden mission...the archaeologist's identity card?"
Gu Ming was overjoyed and asked the system what it was.
He quickly received a reply. The "Archaeologist" ID card was similar to Gu Ming's "Wind Catcher" ID card. Holding the ID card could accept related "archaeological tasks"... This was far better than the "one gold" reward. Much more precious!
As for the task time limit being reduced to less than two hours, Gu Ming didn't care.
He immediately set off for the mission target location.
The mysterious ancient tomb designated by the Cursed Quest is located in the Bloody Plains.
This is a huge area in the west of the Dawn Era. Legend has it that it was once a prosperous fertile land, where residents of several countries, large and small, lived. But when the end came, the cracks in the abyss opened, and countless evil abyssal lives descended here. The creatures united to fight and fought hard for countless years until every inch of the land was dyed red with blood...
Eventually it became known as the Bloody Plains.
Bloody Plain, as the name suggests, is a blood-red area as far as the eye can see. Even the plants are mostly red.
Various ghouls, skeletons, evil spirits and other evil monsters roam the plains, and there are countless ruins and ancient tombs buried underground - providing players with a wealth of "archaeological missions" and "grave exploration missions". ".
Gu Ming first teleported to the "Afternoon Town" in the Bloody Plains, which was very close to the entrance of the mysterious ancient tomb. Then Gu Ming rode a Tyrannosaurus Rex and arrived at the entrance of the ancient tomb in only four or five minutes.
Stepping into the entrance, Gu Ming was teleported into an independent map: the mysterious ancient tomb.
In the gloomy entrance tomb, many players gathered.
The curse mission Gu Ming received was not the only one. Many players also received the same curse mission, and the mission locations all needed to be completed here.
Seeing Gu Ming appear, many people immediately gathered around him.
"Brother, do you want to get rid of spirits? It's 50 silver a time. I'm a good boy and can help you get rid of the curse!"
"We can take you to complete the cursed mission, and you can do it! It only costs 50 silver!"
"Selling the Tomb Curse mission guide for 5 silver each, do you want it?"
They are soliciting business one after another. There is no shortage of opportunities to make money in the Dawn Era. The players present are not all studio players, there are also ordinary players who come to make extra money.
Among them are those who lead people on missions, those who sell guides, and even those who can remove spirits...
Some special advanced professions such as priests and knights can remove curses.
This task requires the player to enter the innermost part of the tomb. There are various mechanisms along the way, and monsters such as "Tomb Guards", "Skeleton Warriors", "Evil Spirits" and "Tomb Mutated Creatures" will appear. Try it for the first time within the specified time limit. , it is indeed very difficult to pass.
But as a high-level player, Gu Ming still has some confidence.
What's more, because his reputation is high enough, he unearthed the hidden content of this ordinary cursed mission, and other players' strategies cannot help him.
He waved everyone away and plunged into the dark depths of the tomb.
Seeing Gu Ming enter the depths of the tomb like this, the players soliciting business were unhappy.
"Look back and see this kid's jokes."
"Are you serious that his name is Captain Mojin?"
"You dare to call this name, you are awesome!"
——At this time, Gu Ming has switched to a trumpet. In order to suit the mission, the name of the trumpet is: Colonel Touching Gold.
