Battle Online: My Luck Is So High It's Basically Cheating - Chapter 57: A New Hidden Quest

Translate to:
Chapter 57: A New Hidden Quest

Just like that, after a full hour had passed, Lucien finally managed to grind a Water Elemental to death by relying on his Poisoning Technique.

It was fortunate that he had the Poisoning Technique; otherwise, there would have been no way to fight this Water Elemental.

The damage he dealt was indeed decent, but the opponent recovered even faster.

Just as he was preparing to join forces with the zombie to deal with the other Water Elemental, that Water Elemental suddenly vanished.

Immediately after, Tidal Merman Nami stepped forward, swaying her waist.

Unlike the ugly appearance of those ordinary Merman Clan members, Tidal Merman Nami had a stunningly beautiful appearance, with a human body and a fish tail.

If it weren’t for the single merman scale on her head, she would probably have been mistaken for a mermaid from a fairy tale.

Watching the main character step forward, Lucien acted as if he were facing a formidable enemy.

Being beautiful was not a plus point for Lucien.

In Battle Online, generally speaking, the more beautiful someone was, the more formidable their strength tended to be.

He didn’t know why, but it seemed that beautiful people had better luck and stronger abilities.

Therefore, although the Tidal Merman Nami before him was beautiful, she was definitely like a fierce tiger.

However, Tidal Merman Nami did not launch an attack, but instead offered a smile.

"Chosen One, you are quite good. You have passed my test!"

"I have a matter here that I would like to trouble you with!"

Hearing Tidal Merman Nami’s words, Lucien breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, he was secretly excited inside; had he encountered a hidden quest?

Actually, wild BOSSes and the Native Residents in Battle Online were the same; both could issue quests.

It was just that wild BOSSes generally lived in the wilderness, while Native Residents lived in cities.

Especially these high-level and high-grade BOSSes.

They could also issue quests just like Native Residents.

The rewards for the quests issued by these BOSSes were even higher than those from Native Residents.

However, because these BOSSes naturally held no affection for the Chosen One, it was very difficult to obtain quests from them.

Since he couldn’t defeat the opponent right now, it would be better to see what kind of quest she had.

Perhaps it would even bring him a different kind of surprise.

"What is it?" Lucien asked very calmly.

"Ding, you have ten minutes of online time remaining for today. Would you like to top up your online duration?"

Without a word, Lucien first added an hour for himself.

Only then did he look at Tidal Merman Nami.

At this moment, Tidal Merman Nami wore a pitiful expression that made one’s heart ache.

But Lucien knew that the more beautiful a woman was, the better she was at deceiving others. He must stick to his bottom line and absolutely must not be swayed by her beauty to do something against his conscience.

"It is like this: ever since the Endless Sea was managed by our Merman Clan, the Mermaid Clan has been constantly attacking us!"

"And this time, they found foreign reinforcements from elsewhere, causing our Merman Clan to retreat steadily!"

"Our Merman Clan has already lost a large portion of our sea territory."

"This time, my father sent me out specifically to find the true masters of the sea, the Divine Dragon Clan."

"After making many inquiries, I learned that the Divine Dragon Clan has already ascended to the Heavenly Realm."

"However, heaven never closes all doors. Although the Divine Dragon Clan has already ascended to the Heavenly Realm, there is still one descendant left behind in the Xuanming Pagoda of the lower realm."

"But my level is too high to enter the Xuanming Pagoda, so I want to ask you to help me find the Divine Dragon left behind in the Xuanming Pagoda."

"I wish to invite him back to the Endless Sea to deter all sides!"

"With the support of the Divine Dragon Clan, the crisis of our Merman Clan will naturally be resolved easily."

What on earth is going on with this Xuanming Pagoda?

Why does it feel like this Xuanming Pagoda has everything — the City Lord’s disciple, and now a Divine Dragon?

Could there be parts of this Xuanming Pagoda that he didn’t know about?

"You mean, you want me to help you retrieve the Divine Dragon?" Lucien asked.

Tidal Merman Nami nodded and said, "Yes! As long as you can help me retrieve the Divine Dragon, I can give this to you!"

As she spoke, Tidal Merman Nami took out a jade token.

Lucien first used a skill to examine it.

Boundary Breaking Talisman (Immortal Grade)

Usage Level: 0

Uses: 10

After use, it can break through national border barriers for ten seconds.

Cooldown: 72 hours

Hidden: A tampered boundary breaking talisman; the first time it is used, the user will be directly teleported to Japan.

At this moment, Tidal Merman Nami couldn’t help but feel a little panicked.

She was terrified that the other party would discover that the boundary breaking talisman had been tampered with.

She did not know that Lucien had already figured it out.

With the existence of the Yin-Yang Eyes, very few things could deceive his eyes directly.

At this moment, Lucien muttered to himself, wondering why the other party wanted him to go to Japan.

However, he wouldn’t be foolish enough to expose her; the other party clearly had an ulterior secret.

The opponent was powerful, and he couldn’t defeat her; exposing her directly would likely not be to his benefit.

However, this boundary breaking talisman was a good item; getting to other countries was not that easy.

Originally, Lucien thought that one could only go to other countries by renouncing their current nationality; he hadn’t expected that there was something like a boundary breaking talisman.

He must obtain this item. There were only a few dungeons in the country, and there were also quite a few dungeons abroad.

No one had cleared the Hell difficulty of those foreign dungeons either.

If he could obtain initial attribute points for every dungeon he cleared, he would be able to obtain a massive amount of initial attribute points.

This would not just be a small boost to his strength; it would be an exponential increase.

Lucien feigned a troubled look and said, "But what if I can’t find the Divine Dragon inside the Xuanming Pagoda?"

"And according to what you said, the Divine Dragon must be powerful; I definitely wouldn’t be a match for it!"

Seeing that Lucien had not noticed that the boundary breaking talisman had been tampered with, Tidal Merman Nami breathed a sigh of relief.

She said, "You just need to reach the top floor of the Xuanming Pagoda. Furthermore, Lord Divine Dragon has not hatched yet; it is currently just an egg."

"You will definitely be able to find it then!"

Upon hearing that the so-called Divine Dragon was still an egg, Lucien’s eyes lit up.

Isn’t this just a pet egg?

And it’s a Divine Dragon pet egg!

One had to know that any creature linked to a dragon was never weak.

At the same time, Lucien narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "But if you put it that way, this doesn’t seem very worthwhile for me, right?"

"What do you mean?" Tidal Merman Nami asked.

"That is a Divine Dragon; are you just trying to brush me off with a single boundary breaking talisman?" Lucien said.

Tidal Merman Nami suddenly realized and said directly, "You misunderstood me. I didn’t mean that you should hand the Divine Dragon over to me after finding it, but rather that you just need to bring it out of the Xuanming Pagoda!"

Hearing this, Lucien nodded. If she had said that earlier, it would have been fine.

He had thought that the other party wanted the Divine Dragon for herself!

This was a pet egg linked to a dragon; its grade was probably at least Immortal Grade, right?

He would really be reluctant to hand over an Immortal Grade pet.

"Since that is the case, then I accept your quest!"

Lucien agreed without hesitation.
