Star Abyss Walker

Chapter 70 S-Rank Group Main Quest (Supplement 6)

He leaped and struck!

My gaze lingered briefly on the skill manual, and immediately a detailed description of the skills appeared.

[Leaping Slash] (Rank A Skill Manual): Tier 2, leaps and attacks targets within 20 yards, dealing up to 300% damage. Cooldown: 25 seconds. Level required to learn: 20.

Learned it!

The secret manual transformed into a ray of light that seeped into the skill bar, and an icon with an arc leaping up appeared. It then leveled up instantly, going from lv1 to lv10 and gaining 6 strength points.

At this moment, I have learned all the second-tier universal skills of my sword-type super weapon. One is the jumping slash, and the other is the Heavenly Craftsmanship, which is an upgraded version of the armor-piercing strike skill. At this stage, probably less than 1% of players can learn all the universal skills!

……

A few days later, early in the morning.

A light drizzle started falling again outside. I got up early, washed up, went downstairs to buy steamed buns and spicy soup, and went upstairs to eat with Lin Qingying. Afterwards, the two of us went downstairs side by side.

Today, Lin Qingying was still wearing her work clothes with a wool coat and a red scarf around her neck. As always, she was taciturn and didn't say a word to me as we walked down the hallway.

"Grandpa, I'm going to school."

Li Xiang's voice came from downstairs. He was wearing a raincoat, carrying a schoolbag, and running happily toward the gate of the community.

"Be careful on the road."

Grandpa Li pedaled his tricycle, loudly giving instructions.

"..."

Standing downstairs, Lin Qingying's gaze fell on Grandpa Li's prosthetic leg. The prosthetic leg moved normally and could even pedal the tricycle together with his left leg. At this moment, Grandpa Li seemed to have inexhaustible strength. He pedaled the tricycle and sped out of the community.

She remained silent for a moment, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping herself.

"I'm going to work, I'm going to be late."

"Let me take you, it's raining," she suddenly said.

"That's not a good idea, it's not on the way."

"It's ok."

Lin Qingying took out her keys, opened the car door, and said, "The internet cafe isn't far, it's just a short drive. I don't have a morning meeting today, so I don't need to go too early."

"Okay, thanks."

I opened the passenger door and got into the Bentley that I had been eyeing for a long time.

I must say, the moment I sat in it, I felt like my life had been elevated. This car is the dream car for many men, and in some people's hearts, it is probably no less prestigious than the Maybach S680!

Lin Qingying lightly pressed the accelerator, carefully exited the residential area, and then sped straight to the internet cafe.

We arrived in just two minutes.

I got out of the car and turned around to thank them again.

Lin Qingying smiled and shook her head, said nothing, and drove off.

"Brother, my dear brother!"

Inside the internet cafe, Zhao Yihang burst out like a lecherous glutton, his eyes fixed on the Bentley's retreating figure. He said, "You still say you have nothing to do with her? If you had nothing to do with her, would she drive you around like that?"

"On the way, on the way..."

"Are you kidding me? If she were going the same way, would she need to turn around?"

"..."

Zhao Yihang looked at me with envy and jealousy: "Give me a lesson, bro? I really love this type of woman, but the problem is I'm always so insecure and can't let loose in front of her. Bro, teach me a thing or two, I really don't want to try anymore..."

"Get lost!"

I said speechlessly, "Why do you smell like a loser more and more like that?"

"Brother, I was wrong..."

Zhao Yihang let out a wail, his plea for help fruitless, and left dejectedly after handing over his shift.

It was another busy morning. I spent an hour disassembling and reassembling several faulty machines in the internet cafe. After accumulating a lot of skill experience points, I started to slack off and bury myself in writing. In just two hours, I wrote 10,000 words.

At noon, after lunch.

Lu Xiaobei finally came downstairs, wearing a preppy coat over a sweater and long skirt, with a brown and yellow scarf around her neck, looking a bit like a Hogwarts schoolgirl uniform. She was about to go out, holding a small transparent umbrella.

"Why go?"

I looked up and asked.

"I……"

Lu Xiaobei hesitated for a moment, then suddenly remembered something and said angrily, "Who's the boss here, me or you? Do I have to report to you when I go out?"

"Don't interrupt, where are you going?"

"I……"

She said timidly, "There's a winter flower exhibition in the old town today, and I'd like to take some photos..."

"Go."

"Okay, boss..."

She turned and ran away in a flash.

For a moment, Old K, who was adjusting drinks in front of the refrigerator, was shocked and asked me, "You've won over Lu Xiaobei?"

"No, why do you say that?"

"Otherwise, why would she be so obedient?" "..."

I was speechless and could only say, "Don't talk nonsense. There's nothing between me and Lu Xiaobei. We can't ruin a girl's reputation with baseless accusations. Let's leave this topic here."

"Ah."

Old K nodded: "Ding Han, you're actually a really good person..."

I was suddenly given a "friend zone" card, and I was speechless again. So I sat down in the network administrator's seat, and then casually took out the purple Wind Whisperer's night vision scope from my interdimensional storage space. It was damaged by the bio-electromagnetic pulse last time and needed to be repaired. In just a few minutes, after reconnecting the burnt-out wires, the repair was completed, and I gained a lot of skill experience!
……

In the evening, after handing over my shift, I bought some groceries and returned to my residence.

It was still early, so I put the groceries aside, took out a coin, and prepared to play a game of Three Kingdoms War Chronicles. But halfway through the game, Little Fatty Li Xiang got out of school.

"Ding Han, can you teach me Zhuge Liang's infinite ice sword combo today?"

"Well, sit down."

I helped Li Xiang insert the coin, then he chose Guan Yu, and I chose Zhuge Liang. We got the Ice Sword, and when we got to Cao Cao, we started showing off our skills. Li Xiang's little face turned red: "Wow, that's amazing... how did you do that?"

"Alright!"

I analyzed each point: "Basic attack, triggers half-frozen state, jump attack when the frozen state is about to end, follow up with basic attack, jump attack again, and repeat this process. With enough practice, it's not difficult at all."

"Okay, I'll give it a try..."

Li Xiang took over, but was instantly killed by Cao Cao's powerful attack.

I was speechless. I patted his head and said earnestly, "You're really bad at this, Li Xiang..."

But just then, he sensed someone appear behind him.

Lin Qingying returned, holding the car keys in her right hand and supporting her right elbow with her left, looking at me with great interest.

"came back?"

"Ah."

"Come on, let's go upstairs and cook."

"it is good."

I went upstairs and started cooking. Lin Qingying helped pick vegetables, but she couldn't do things like cutting meat or chopping ribs, so she could only watch helplessly from the side.

Soon after, a table of delicious dishes was served.

Lin Qingying seemed very interested in the pork ribs I cooked and ate quite a lot. It's not easy for a slender woman like her to eat so many pork ribs.

"Ding Han".

After the meal, Lin Qingying took out some documents to look at, and suddenly looked up at me.

"what happened?"

"or……"

She hesitated for a moment, then said, "You shouldn't move out. It's really hard to find a place to live these days."

"Really?"

"Well, didn't you say that you've developed an attachment to this house and don't really want to move out?"

"Indeed it is."

A number of thoughts flashed through my mind instantly, one of which was that I should return the 16,000 yuan rent that Lin Qingying paid me. Since I wasn't moving out, it was unreasonable for me to keep her money.

Actually, I really don't want to move. I've finally gotten to know Lin Qingying a little better. If I move now, I'll have to adapt to a new environment. What if my roommate is a rough guy with smellier feet than Lao K? Wouldn't that be even more troublesome?

Living with Lin Qingying, although she has a rather aloof personality and doesn't talk much, at least she is pleasing to the eye. Looking at her more often would make you feel happy, wouldn't it?
……

It's midnight.

Just as I was about to fall asleep, I suddenly heard a ding-dong sound in my ear!
The regional quest "Battle of Xicheng" (S-rank main quest) is about to refresh! You have already obtained the quest "Battle of Xicheng" (S-rank main quest)! Quest details: The Dark Tide Organization has finally lost its patience; their expansionist ambitions are now blatantly obvious! The long-term main quest for the "Battle of Xicheng" region will officially begin in 24 hours. All players can participate, and the higher your final quest score ranking, the richer the rewards!

Here it is! My first S-rank main quest in Star Abyss!
Although it's a group mission, with my current strength, I'm absolutely capable of overwhelming everyone else, and I might have a chance to claim the rewards from this long-term main quest again!

Moreover, this group mission is S-level, and the reward for first place may be quite generous, even comparable to the previous Tiangong Kaiwu!
"Whoo~~~"

I'm so excited I can't sleep.

Opening the star map, it was indeed bustling with activity; many people were wasting their precious experience points talking in the public channel—

"Holy crap, an S-rank main quest? Are the players in Xicheng going to be rich?"

"Not necessarily. Those bastards in Dark Tide are pretty tough. Remember the last battle in Westwind Forest? Quite a few of our players died there..."

"Indeed, the Dark Tide is deeply rooted and has a large organization, so it is not so easy to deal with."

"Brothers, let's not boost the morale of others and diminish our own. Our Windbreaker Legion in Creek City is not to be underestimated. It is said that the entire legion has thousands of first-generation power armor warriors and dozens of second-generation power armor warriors. Even if the Dark Tide people come, they may not be able to fight back!"

"That's right, with the added strength of us players, wiping out the Dark Tide will definitely not be a problem!"

"Anyway, this time I'm going to dominate the battlefield, and I won't stop until I get a few purple-grade items to play with!"

……

Listening to everyone's comments, I was both amused and exasperated.

Everyone seems quite optimistic, but unfortunately, they have no idea of ​​the true strength of the Dark Tide!
According to the information revealed by Left Hand and Puff, the closest warband to Creek City was the Grey Worm Warband under Vega's command. A single Grey Worm Warband has tens of thousands of soldiers, including many first and second generation power armor warriors, and its overall strength is definitely above that of the Burning Wind Warband.

Moreover, the Grey Worm Chapter is only one of the 21 major chapters of the Dark Tide organization, and it is probably the weakest of them all.

It can be said that if the Crimson Dragon Kingdom hadn't intervened, the Dark Tide could have easily crushed Xicheng's defenses!

……

However, the refresh of this task is indeed a godsend for me, a chance to make a name for myself!
