Godlike: Double Penetration of the Starry Sky! A brutal beating of Ge Xiaolun at the start.

Long Wen was filled with gratitude and quickly thanked her, "Thank you for your appreciation, madam. Please feel free to ask if you need anything in the future!"

Longwen stood before the Adventurers' Guild's quest board, his gaze fixed on a quest that required "assisting residents in resolving disputes." A slight smile played on his lips, and a surge of excitement welled up within him. As a novice adventurer, he yearned to prove himself through various challenges.

Chapter 96 Should I accept this mission?

"Hey, Longwen, are you really going to take this mission? It doesn't sound easy." Wendy appeared beside him at some point, looking at him mischievously.

"Haha, Wendy, it's precisely because it's not easy that I'm even more determined to give it a try. I'm not afraid of challenges." Long Wen confidently patted his chest.

“Okay, then you should be careful. I’ve heard that both sides in a dispute can be quite difficult,” Wendy warned.

"Don't worry, I'll handle it." After saying that, Long Wen accepted the task and turned to walk towards the scene of the incident.

When Longwen arrived at the scene, he found that two families were arguing over the distribution of alchemical materials. The two families were standing in front of their respective houses, arguing heatedly, their faces red and necks bulging, surrounded by a crowd of onlookers. Timaus was also there, timidly hiding to the side, not daring to speak, but his eyes revealed curiosity.

Long Wen took a deep breath, stepped forward, and said loudly, "Everyone, please stop arguing. I am Long Wen, sent by the Adventurers' Guild to help resolve this dispute. Please calm down and tell me what happened."

However, the residents from both sides ignored him and continued arguing. One of the tall men pointed at the other and shouted, "They're too greedy! They always try to get more materials than they deserve. This time, we can't let them get away with it!"

A woman on the other side retorted, "Your family clearly took too much last time, and you're trying to take advantage of us again this time? No way!"

Long Wen frowned and raised his voice: "Please listen to me first!" But both sides stuck to their own opinions and refused to give in, making the atmosphere very tense. Long Wen felt like he was caught in a tangled mess.

At this moment, the tall man suddenly turned his attention to Long Wen, suspecting him of favoring the other side, and hurled insults at him: "You little brat, did you take bribes from their family to speak on their behalf? I don't think you can solve any problems!"

Long Wen felt wronged, but he tried his best to remain calm and said, "Uncle, you misunderstood. I'm here to resolve this fairly and won't take sides."

However, the man didn't believe him and sneered, "Hmph, who would believe your nonsense? I think you're a liar!"

Long Wen was not provoked. He calmly analyzed the problem and tried to find a solution. However, the woman from the other household felt that he was not decisive enough and did not believe that he could solve the problem. She said impatiently, "Are you even capable of this? If not, don't waste our time here."

Long Wen fell into self-doubt. He felt his abilities were being challenged, and the atmosphere around him became even more oppressive, as if a storm was about to break. His palms were slightly sweaty, and he felt a little flustered, but he still forced himself to remain calm and said, "Please give me a little more time. I will definitely solve this problem."

Just then, a commotion suddenly erupted from the crowd. It turned out to be the tall man's son (Wang Dezhao), who was leading a group of thugs in an aggressive manner.

"Dad, what happened? Who bullied you?" the man's son shouted.

The tall man pointed at Long Wen and said, "It's this kid. He's trying to favor his family and not give us a fair share."

Long Wen's heart tightened; he knew things had become more complicated. But he still stood there bravely and said, "I'm not favoring anyone; I just want to resolve this fairly."

Chapter Ninety-Seven turned into a conflict

The man's son looked at Long Wen with disdain and sneered, "Fairness? Hmph, in this world, only the strong can determine fairness. Kid, what makes you think you can meddle in our business?"

Long Wen clenched his fists; he knew this dispute might escalate into a conflict. But he couldn't back down. He was a novice adventurer, and he had to uphold fairness and justice.

"Although I am only a trainee adventurer, I will do my best to solve this problem. If you want to take action, I will not be afraid of you," Long Wen said firmly.

The man's son laughed loudly: "Haha, alright, then I'll see what you're capable of." With that, he waved his hand, and the thugs behind him surrounded him.

Long Wen quickly entered combat mode, his eyes sharpening. He nimbly dodged the thugs' attacks, then used his fighting skills to defeat them one by one.

During the battle, Long Wen discovered that although these thugs outnumbered him, they weren't particularly strong. He secretly rejoiced, knowing that as long as he remained calm, he would definitely be able to defeat them.

After a fierce battle, Long Wen finally defeated all the thugs. Panting, he looked at the surrounding residents and said loudly, "I don't want to solve problems with violence, but if anyone tries to undermine fairness, I won't back down. Now, please believe me, I will resolve this dispute fairly."

At this moment, Timaus finally mustered up the courage to step forward and said to Longwen, "Longwen, I believe you. I can testify for you. I know the distribution of these alchemical materials."

Long Wen looked at Timaus gratefully and nodded. Then, he said to the residents of both sides, "Now that everyone has calmed down, let's sit down and have a good talk. Timaus is the alchemy shop's assistant, and he has a good understanding of the distribution of alchemical materials. Let's hear his opinion."

Although the residents on both sides were still somewhat unwilling, seeing Longwen's performance in the battle, (cedf) and the appearance of Timaus, they had no choice but to sit down and negotiate.

Timaus cleared his throat and said, "Actually, the distribution of these alchemical materials has always been done according to convention, with each household receiving a fixed share. However, recently, due to some changes in the production of materials, disputes have arisen regarding the distribution."

After listening to Timaus's words, Longwen had an idea. He suddenly thought of a way to demonstrate a new method of alchemy using his special elemental manipulation abilities, so that the residents of both sides could see that cooperation could bring more benefits.

Longwen picked up some alchemical materials from the ground, then used his elemental manipulation abilities to fuse them together, forming a completely new material. This material was far more valuable than the original one.

“You see, if we can cooperate and use this new alchemy method, we can create more value instead of arguing over a little bit of material,” Long Wen said.

The residents of both sides were impressed by his wisdom and ability, and they began to seriously consider Longwen's suggestions. After some discussion, they finally reached a consensus and decided to cooperate in alchemy and share the benefits.

The dispute was resolved, and Longwen felt immensely gratified. He returned to the Adventurers' Guild to collect his reward, while Wendy recited a poem to celebrate: "Longwen, Longwen, a true hero, resolving the dispute and performing a great service. Possessing both wisdom and courage, his adventures will unfold in grand style."

Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Final Assessment

Those around him looked at him with admiration, and Long Wen was immersed in the joy of success. He knew this was just a small episode in his adventurous career, but he would continue to work hard and embrace more challenges.

Long Wen stood in the Adventurers' Guild's hall, surrounded by people coming and going, but his mind was entirely focused on the upcoming assessment. After completing three beginner-level tasks, he was finally facing the final test to advance his adventurer rank.

June 17th

"Longwen, are you ready? This assessment won't be easy." Kaiya's voice came from behind, carrying a hint of cunning.

Long Wen turned to look at Kaiya, a surge of dissatisfaction rising within him. He knew Kaiya harbored suspicions about his rapid rise, but he didn't want to clash with Kaiya at this time. "Captain Kaiya, I will do my best," Long Wen said, trying to make his tone sound calm.

"Hmph, trying your best isn't enough. Our Knights are very strict with the assessment of adventurers," Kaeya said coldly.

Just then, Amber walked over, patted Longwen on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Longwen, don't be nervous, I believe you can do it." Longwen looked at Amber, feeling a warmth in his heart. He nodded and said, "Thank you, Amber."

The assessment began, and Long Wen was taken to a massive simulated battlefield. The surrounding environment was dark and damp, filled with a pungent odor. Suddenly, a gigantic monster burst forth from the darkness. It was enormous, with a gaping maw, and let out a deafening roar. Long Wen was startled, but he quickly regained his composure, gripped his weapon tightly, and prepared to meet the challenge.

"Dragon's Breath, this monster is not easy to deal with, you have to be careful," Amber shouted from the side.

Long Wen nodded, concentrating his efforts on finding the monster's weakness. However, the monster was incredibly fast, constantly lunging at Long Wen, who could only dodge. During his evasion, Long Wen noticed a black scale on the monster's belly, different from the other scales. A thought struck him: could that be the monster's weakness?

Long Wen decided to take the risk. He waited for his opportunity, and as the monster lunged at him again, he charged forward, his weapon aimed fiercely at the monster's abdomen. However, the monster seemed to sense Long Wen's intention; it suddenly changed direction, and Long Wen's attack missed. He was nearly scratched by the monster's claws...

"Haha, Longwen, is that all you've got?" Kaiya mocked from the side.

A surge of anger welled up in Long Wen's heart, but he knew this wasn't the time to be angry. He took a deep breath and focused his attention again. The monster lunged at him again, and this time Long Wen didn't dodge; he charged towards it. Just as the monster was about to pounce, he suddenly dodged to the side, and the monster missed its target. Long Wen seized the opportunity to turn, and his weapon thrust again towards the monster's abdomen. This time, his attack struck, and the monster let out a scream as black blood flowed from its abdomen.

"Well done, Dragon's Edge!" Amber shouted excitedly.

Long Wen was overjoyed, but he knew the battle wasn't over. The monster, wounded, became even more ferocious, relentlessly attacking Long Wen, who could only dodge and counterattack. During the battle, Long Wen's stamina gradually dwindled, but he persevered thanks to his strong will and special elemental manipulation abilities. He was wounded in many places, but he still didn't give up.

Chapter Ninety-Nine: Still Not Forgiving in Words

Finally, after a fierce battle, Longwen successfully defeated the monster. He collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

"Well done, Longwen." Amber ran over and helped Longwen up.

"Hmph, barely passable." Although Kaiya was still sarcastic, he had a certain degree of recognition for Longwen's strength.

Long Wen passed the test and received a special reward from the Adventurers' Guild: a valuable piece of equipment and a large amount of adventure experience. When he received the reward, everyone present applauded and cheered for him. Standing at the pinnacle of glory, Long Wen was filled with pride.

"Longwen, you're amazing!" Amber exclaimed excitedly.

“Thank you, Amber. I probably wouldn’t have been able to keep going without your encouragement,” Longwen said gratefully.

"Heh heh, we're friends, aren't we?" Amber said with a smile.

Just as Longwen was celebrating, an Adventurer's Guild staff member approached him and handed him a letter, saying, "Longwen, this is a mysterious request from Liyue. Take a look."

Long Wen took the letter, opened it, and its contents filled him with curiosity and anticipation. He looked up into the distance, secretly deciding that he would head to Liyue to begin a new adventure.

"Longwen, are you going to Liyue?" Amber asked.

“Hmm, I’d like to take a look. This request really interests me,” Long Wen said.

“Then you must be careful. Liyue is different from Mondstadt. There are many powerful adventurers and dangerous monsters there,” Amber said worriedly.

"Don't worry, Amber, I'll be careful," Longwen said.

Longwen bid farewell to Amber and Kaeya and embarked on his journey to Liyue. His heart was filled with anticipation and excitement. He didn't know what awaited him in Liyue, but he believed that as long as he persevered, he would overcome all difficulties and become a true adventurer.

On his way to Liyue, Longwen passed through a dense forest. A thick fog shrouded the forest, obscuring the path ahead. Longwen walked cautiously when suddenly he heard a strange sound. He stopped and looked around warily.

"Who's there? Show yourself!" Long Wen shouted.

However, no one answered. Long Wen's heart tightened; he gripped his weapon tightly and continued forward. Suddenly, a giant spider leaped down from the tree, blocking his path. The spider was covered in spikes, and its eyes gleamed green.

“Another monster, come on, I’m not afraid of you,” Long Wen shouted.

Long Wen engaged in a fierce battle with the spider. The spider's attacks were extremely ferocious, constantly spraying venom and spider silk at Long Wen. Long Wen could only dodge and counterattack. During the battle, Long Wen discovered the spider's weakness: its eyes. He seized the opportunity and thrust his weapon fiercely into the spider's eye. The spider let out a scream; Long Wen had blinded one of its eyes.

"Haha, let's see how you attack me now!" Long Wen shouted.

The wounded spider became even more ferocious, lunging at Long Wen recklessly. Long Wen didn't dodge; he charged at the spider. Just as the spider was about to pounce, he suddenly dodged to the side, and the spider missed its target. Long Wen seized the opportunity to turn, his weapon thrusting again towards the spider's other eye. This time, his attack struck, and the spider completely lost its sight.

Chapter 100 is finally resolved.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Long Wen launched his final attack, his weapon plunging fiercely into the spider's body. The spider struggled for a few moments before finally collapsing to the ground.

"Phew, finally it's over." Long Wen panted heavily, with several more wounds on his body.

Longwen continued walking forward and finally emerged from the forest. He came to a small town, bustling with activity. Longwen decided to rest in the town for the night and continue his journey to Liyue the next day.

Long Wen entered an inn, asked for a room, and sat down at the table to examine the mysterious request from Liyue. The request asked him to find a lost artifact, said to possess immense power and once wielded by the guardians of Liyue. Filled with curiosity, Long Wen resolved to find this artifact no matter what.

The next day, Longwen left the town and continued his journey to Liyue. On the way, he encountered an old man. The old man wore tattered clothes and his face was covered in wrinkles.

"Young man, are you going to Liyue?" the old man asked.

“Yes, sir, I’m going to Liyue,” Longwen said.

"Liyue is not a good place; there are many dangers there. You must be careful," the old man said.
