    Chapter 194

    Five new player IDs were added to Yan Yunqing’s friend list.

    Yan Yunqing didn’t mind adding a few more people, but his level was too conspicuous. There were only four level 19 players on the current levellevel ranking list, and his ID was different from the other three. It was easy to deduce that he was the anonymous player on the levellevel ranking list.

    Yan Yunqing was met with a few surprised glances. His expression remained unchanged, and he was very humble, “Just got lucky and took on a hidden quest.”

    “Ah, could it be because of researching the background story…” [Lonely Fire] hesitated.

    Yan Yunqing nodded, “That’s right.”

    Hiding his ID on the hidden level ranking list was purely because he didn’t want his appearance to be recognized by most players. He didn’t want to be the center of attention wherever he went, but that didn’t mean he didn’t want to interact with players. Otherwise, he wouldn’t occasionally log in to level up and maintain a position in the top ten of the level ranking list.

    This identity was beneficial for him to infiltrate player groups, especially when dealing with these official people.

    [Demon Prison Cruiser], who had been quiet at the back, spoke up, “What kind of hidden quest is it about?”

    As soon as he said this, everyone’s eyes fell on him. [Bin Storm] mouthed a curse word and secretly gave [Demon Prison Cruiser] a thumbs up.

    Yan Yunqing also glanced at him. He originally thought that the one who looked very ‘naive’ would ask him under the guise of recklessness, but he didn’t expect it to be this one…

    Well, maybe this person’s persona is straightforward? Or a science guy who doesn’t like beating around the bush?

    Yan Yunqing didn’t intend to hide it from them, “A treasure buried under the yellow sand.”

    The five players: ?

    Yan Yunqing slowly said, “The previous task is hard to talk about, mainly about a village, but I have another task in my hand, a treasure hunt.”

    Yan Yunqing raised his hand, switched to his task list, selected the 【Treasure Buried Under the Yellow Sand】 , shared it with his friends, checked the five people present, and sent it.

    At the same time, a system prompt popped up in front of them: 【Your friend has shared a task with you, do you want to view it?】

    The five players: Ah?!

    All five players present were stunned by Yan Yunqing’s unwavering and frighteningly sincere operation.

    Wasn’t a hidden quest supposed to be very important? And he just shared it with them?

    For a moment, the air fell into silence, and they also walked out of the inner circle of Norman Forest, stopping outside a small settlement on the periphery of the forest.

    [Ying Yi] took the lead in choosing to view, “Isn’t it not so good to share the hidden task with us?”

    Yan Yunqing shrugged, “Just sharing it for you to see, I didn’t share the task itself.”

    [but [Wow wool team(Woof Woof Squad] continued to say, “But as long as we know the person who issued the task, we can also take the task, right?”

    Yan Yunqing’s eyes flickered.

    It was true that they couldn’t find him, because this task came from Dorin.

    It was Dorin, who belonged to the Thieves Guild, took the task to steal the Morgan Heart, and then took it out for auction, trying to find out the person behind the task.

    Yan Yunqing gave Dorin the [she gave him what she had seen and heard from the Guangming (Light Church, as well as the treasure map that she had promised to give him earlier.

    After getting the treasure map, he automatically received a task 【Treasure Buried Under the Yellow Sand】, asking him to dig up the treasure at the location shown on the treasure map.

    But Yan Yunqing searched all over himself, but he couldn’t think of what treasure was buried at the location marked on the treasure map. The Demon King did collect some good things, but he didn’t remember what he had controlled the Demon King to put in this place.

    So this treasure map was either fake, or it was a trap, aimed at the person who got this treasure map.

    Of course, there was also a possibility that the treasure was actually hidden by his dependents… This was even more unnecessary. It would be better to hide it in the treasure house of the Eternal Empire, or be carried by the Demon King in his backpack.

    Yan Yunqing didn’t intend to do this task, so he didn’t mind sharing it. Even if it was shared, it didn’t matter. The main thing he was worried about was that it was a pit. What if he trapped the official people by sharing it?

    As for them finding Dorin to take the task… Sorry, there was only one copy of the treasure map, there was no second one, and besides, the members of the Thieves Guild were not so easy to find.

    “Well… you can’t receive a serendipity quest a second time.” Yan Yunqing said, “Are you interested? If you are interested, I can also share it with you, but this task may be a pit, and the level limit is also relatively high.”

    [Ying Yi] paused, “A pit?”

    “Ah, the location of this treasure map is in an uninhabited area.” Yan Yunqing explained, “This means that the level of the monsters there will only be higher than the monster you encountered today, but the description of the treasure is also very ambiguous.”

    Yan Yunqing rummaged in his backpack and found the treasure map, “It is said that it contains the treasure of the God War period two thousand years ago, and it is also related to the gods. I think there is a pit.”

    “Ah?” [Lonely Fire] didn’t understand, “Related to the gods, usually the treasure hunt quests related to the gods in the game, the final finds are not artifacts, how can it be a very powerful weapon? Legendary level?”

    Yan Yunqing said meaningfully, “In this world, things related to the gods are not necessarily good things.”

    Not to mention that the [Morgan Heart] he got before was also an item belonging to the gods, that thing was obviously not a good thing. Staying with that thing for a long time might even be contaminated. There was already a little inconspicuous contamination mark on Dorin.

    Just take one of the most common things – monsters.

    This thing was also born from the bones of the gods, in a sense, it can also be regarded as something related to the gods, but the monsters are obviously not good things.

    [Lonely Fire] didn’t understand, but the captain [Ying Yi] and [Woof Woof Squad] showed thoughtful expressions.

    [Demon Prison Cruiser] said lightly: “Because in 《Homecoming》, the gods actually represent the villains, right.”

    “Eh?”

    “I remember there was a post on the forum that revealed the background story of 《Homecoming》. In the God War thousands of years ago, the human NPCs suffered heavy losses. Isn’t there a saying that when gods fight, mortals suffer? The current continent is obviously ruled by humans, so the gods at that time actually represented the villains, and humans overthrew the rule of the villains and established a better new world.”

    Yan Yunqing glanced at him unexpectedly. The post only pieced together some background stories, but he hadn’t seen this statement in the post, so it was this kid’s own understanding.

    “Almost.” Yan Yunqing nodded, “However, it was not only the human race that overthrew the rule of the gods at that time, but also the participation of many alien races, and even the alien races were the main force in the war.”

    It’s just that the Demon King who led the alien race was a human being.

    Yan Yunqing thought.

    “So you don’t plan to do that task?” [Ying Yi] asked.

    Yan Yunqing was asked for a moment, and was a little surprised. Hearing this, did he intend to…?

    “Well, the reward for this task is not much, and there is an unknown treasure. The danger level is too high, and the return is far more than the effort. I don’t plan to do it.” Yan Yunqing smiled, “What? Do you want to do it? But your level may not be enough.”

    “I think it’s a bit interesting.” [Ying Yi] said, “I can exchange this task with you for another dungeon resource, level 20.”

    After the players officially went online, Yan Yunqing also tried to find common dungeon settings in the game, but after digging for a long time, Yan Yunqing found a level 5 dungeon through a task.

    He then determined that the dungeons of 《Homecoming》 were different from common games. Dungeons need to be generated through pre-tasks or some special conditions.

    It’s almost like the few dungeons he participated in before.

    Now the players have not been in the game for a long time. In a little over a month, it is already very powerful for players to find a few low-level dungeons. As long as the dungeon location and dungeon entry conditions are not revealed, this dungeon can become the early help for the players who found it.

    Like the first place on the level ranking list, the one with the level gap with the second player is the one who has two dungeons.

    Using dungeon resources to exchange for a task, if Yan Yunqing’s real level was not seventy-five, he would definitely be very tempted.

    However, a level 20 dungeon is useless to him.

    Yan Yunqing blinked, stopped and looked at [[Ying Yi]’s face was really ordinary, and the appearance of the characters generated by the 《The journey(Homecoming》 game was based on the player’s own appearance and optimized. The optimized face was so ordinary, it was estimated that it would be difficult to find in the crowd in reality.

    Yan Yunqing remembered the few colleagues of his father with old illnesses, and sighed that the person in front of him was really a good material for performing secret missions.

    “Okay.” Yan Yunqing agreed very readily, “But I don’t lack dungeon resources, I want something else.”

    [Ying Yi]’s eyes flashed, “What do you need?”

    “Intelligence.” Yan Yunqing said, “If you receive other hidden tasks, share them with me. I mean those related to the main line. Exchange a treasure hunt task for a hidden task. Tell me the general requirements of the task before sharing, and then share it after I confirm it.”

    In short, he also wanted the right to choose the task.

    [Ying Yi]: “… We may not be able to receive hidden tasks.”

    Yan Yunqing was curious, “Can’t you? Your team behind you… Well, can’t the guild?”

    [[Yingyi(Ying Yi] still remained calm, “What guild?”

    The other three obviously noticed something and all became quiet, the atmosphere was a bit dignified.

    The concept of a player guild is very common in other games, but this function is not yet available in 《Homecoming》 – or rather, there is no guild function yet. Players can currently only form small teams.

    The person in front of him suddenly mentioned the guild – obviously just using the name of the player guild to refer to the officials behind them.

    But where did he know it from? How did he know?

    Yan Yunqing pondered, “Well… don’t you have a guild? I think your division of labor and cooperation is very skilled, and your levels are also high, and the most important thing is that they are very average… It’s difficult for ordinary players to do this, right? At least they must be senior players or professional players. I heard that many players have already formed guilds privately, don’t you have one?”

    [Ying Yi]:…?

    “Could it be that I guessed wrong?” Yan Yunqing tilted his head, “But you still have dungeon resources, you should have a guild, right? Otherwise, it would be difficult to block the news of a level 20 dungeon resource until now, and no information has been spread out.”

    Indeed, some players have already started to form guilds privately on the forum. A level 20 dungeon resource must be a big guild, and it would have been snatched away if it was placed among individual players.

    Now there are still few players. When there are more players, Ermann Continent is estimated to stage the infighting between guilds, one more scheming than the other, more complicated than palace dramas.

    [Ying Yi] looked at Yan Yunqing steadily, and didn’t see anything from his face, just followed Yan Yunqing’s words and said, “We do have a guild, are you interested in joining?”

    This time it was Yan Yunqing’s turn to slowly type out a question mark.

    No, do you really plan to start a player guild?

    Yan Yunqing was stunned for a moment, and decisively refused, “No, I still like to be a lone wolf player.”

    [Ying Yi] regretted, “It’s a pity, but the exchange condition you said before is okay.”
