Chapter 617 Chapter590-The Inconspicuous NPC Quest
After logging off from the game "Godslayer," John decided to order some takeout, considering Emma hadn't been staying with him recently.
Emma was busy leveling up in the game and dealing with her real-world commitments, and John didn't want to disturb her.
Once he had placed his order, John took a shower to refresh himself, especially after experiencing numerous events in the game.
He felt the need to clear his mind and organize his thoughts, and a shower seemed like the perfect way to start this process.
After his shower, the takeout had arrived. John settled down to eat while browsing through the player forums for information.
There wasn't much on the forums about the southern port since it was a part of the map that hadn't been officially opened yet.
The majority of the southern port was accessible only to John, as he was the lord of that area.
However, John stumbled upon a thread in an inconspicuous section of the forum where players were discussing an NPC quest.
They found this quest peculiar.
The location of this NPC quest was not far from the southern port.
Following the sequence of the posts, John read through all the threads related to this NPC quest, keen to understand what made it so unusual to other players.
John read through the forum posts with growing interest:
"Fellow brothers and sisters, take a look at this quest I've stumbled upon. At the coordinates I've provided, there's a female NPC constantly gazing towards the sea, seemingly in perpetual tears. Above her head, there's an exclamation mark indicating a quest, but why can't I accept it? Does anyone have any advice?"
"Friends, I've successfully accepted the quest. The NPC tasked me with collecting a substantial amount of water elements, and she even handed me a bottle for the collection. Is it possible for me to just take this bottle? It seems to be of very high quality."
"I've gathered enough water elements, but now the NPC no longer desires them. She's asking for a considerable amount of fire elements instead. Where can I collect these? Is there a place near Storm City to gather fire elements?"
John found it peculiar since gathering water elements around Storm City, surrounded by the ocean, would be straightforward.
However, collecting fire elements in that vicinity seemed unlikely, as they were typically found around Sunset Mountain's lava canyons.
Yet, John didn't stop reading, noticing the player had continued posting, which meant they pursued the quest further:
"I teleported to Sunset Mountain and finally collected enough fire elements. But now, the NPC has changed her mind about the fire elements and wants me to collect wind elements instead. Does anyone know where to find them?"
John was taken aback by the progression of this NPC quest.
It seemed unusually intricate, suggesting a significant mystery might be lurking behind it.
The player had not updated their posts further, suggesting they might have hit a stumbling block at the quest for collecting wind elements.
After some thought, John realized he too was unsure where to find wind elements.
Thus, he decided to reach out via email to Adam and Blue Sea, two top-tier players who might have the necessary information about wind elements.
He wrote, "Do you have any information on wind elements? Do you know where they can be collected?"
After sending the email, John also attempted to communicate with the player engaged in the NPC quest through the gaming forum, expressing his interest and seeking more details.
"Hey there, are you around? I've noticed the quest line you're working on, and I'd like to give it a try myself. Could you share some details about it with me? I've checked the coordinates you posted, but I couldn't find the NPC you mentioned. Are you sure there's no mistake in the coordinates?"
After taking these steps, John was about to take a break when he received a reply from Adam.
"I do know something about wind elements. They can be collected around Sunset Mountain as well. However, I haven't received any quests related to wind elements. If you've got a quest involving them, I'd be glad to assist. Just come to my guild and find me."
Adam's prompt response was as reliable as ever, leaving John quite satisfied with this ally, who consistently proved to be a significant source of support.
Adam remained composed in crises, a trait John valued. While Blue Sea was also a competent ally, John noted that Blue Sea tended to struggle with maintaining composure during critical moments.
Just as John was thinking about Blue Sea, he received an email from him.
Blue Sea wrote, "I don't have any information about wind elements. Are there even magic spells related to wind elements in our game? Why haven't I come across any magic or quests related to wind elements?"
As expected, Blue Sea was unaware of such information.
However, John wasn't too disappointed since Adam seemed knowledgeable on the subject.
John promptly replied to Adam, "I'll come to see you as soon as possible, but I hope you can gather all the information about wind elements in the meantime. Our next actions will definitely involve wind elements."
After responding to Adam, John noticed a new reply on the game forum from the player who had posted about the NPC quest.
The player wrote, "I'm truly sorry, but I've decided not to pursue this quest any longer. If you're really interested, I could transfer the quest to you, although I'm not sure if you'll be able to accept it successfully. I've discussed this with others, and none have found the NPC I mentioned. It might just be a system bug that I encountered. Don't be too surprised if you can't find the NPC either; it seems there are some issues with the game."
The player had shared quite a lot in one go, indicating they had previously encountered curious inquiries from others. It was clear they had little hope left for completing this quest.
John quickly followed up with the other player: "The coordinates you provided, are they near the southern port? Have you considered checking the area around the southern port? After all, that map is about to be opened, and I've heard that some significant events have taken place there in the recent updates."
The player responded, "I never went to the southern port area because I encountered some very powerful NPCs there who wouldn't let us pass. It seems they have a new lord now."
Through this exchange, John confirmed the information he had gathered.
He believed the quest related to the NPC was of utmost importance.
Therefore, he encouraged the player to disclose all known details.
Initially reluctant, the player became more cooperative after John offered a gold coin as an incentive.
After receiving the gold coin, the player recounted all the information they knew.
John felt increasingly troubled as he listened, realizing the gravity of the situation and the potential implications of the quest the player had stumbled upon.
John, sensing the gravity of the quest and its potential connection to the Ocean Sage, and realizing the woman NPC looking out to sea could be a key figure with valuable information, took steps to ensure ongoing communication with the player who had encountered the quest.
"I understand. I hope you can keep in touch with me moving forward. If I run into any other issues, I might need your assistance to solve them."
Even though John had gathered most of the necessary information, he preferred to err on the side of caution and made an arrangement with the player.
In exchange for any further assistance, John promised another gold coin.
The player agreed swiftly to this arrangement, as acquiring a gold coin was a significant challenge for most ordinary players.
Given that "Godslayer" had been operational for quite some time, the most rewarding quests had already been claimed by early players.
For regular players who joined later, it was tough to find quests that offered substantial rewards.
Therefore, the promise of even a single gold coin was a lucrative proposition, well worth their effort and cooperation.
