The two players ran up to Zhou Ning breathlessly, and Qingbai Yejiu lowered his voice and said, "Boss, we found where the Chosen One is being held!"

"Oh? Come in first and talk." Zhou Ning's eyes lit up, and he pointed to the alchemy shop behind him and said with a smile.

"Sure enough, there's another hidden plot!"

The onlookers nearby cast envious and jealous glances at the two of them, wishing they could be one of them.

Qingbai and Yejiu had long been accustomed to this more realistic task interaction method, and followed Zhou Ning into the alchemy shop as usual.

"God... The place where the Chosen One is imprisoned is in a manor in the northwest of the old city. There are many Curse Cult members patrolling there, including two very powerful priests. A researcher comes here from time to time." As a player, Qingbai Yejiu found it difficult to get used to the title of "Chosen One" and felt very awkward.

"Priest? Researcher?" Zhou Ning was invigorated and immediately focused his attention.

At the same time, a series of information appeared on the panel.

[You have triggered the dungeon quest [Liquidation]! Do you accept?]

[After you complete this mission, it will become a historical replay instance.]

[Mission Summary: This is your first step in completing the liquidation of the Curse Cult. See what you can do about it.]

[Tip: This mission is quite difficult, so be careful of the opponent's unknown items.]

[Blood and Fire: Kill 10 members of the Cult of the Curse.]

[Investigation: Find out the identity of the mysterious researcher.]

[Forbearance and Killing (I): Kill the priest Gaskel and receive rewards based on your contribution.]

[Forbearance and Killing (II): Kill the priest Niam and receive rewards based on your contribution.]

[Forbearance and Killing (III): Defeat or kill Harrison Rivers and receive rewards based on your contribution.]

[Destroy Austin Manor: Destroy the Austin Manor where the mission is located, and rewards will be given based on the mission completion and contribution.]

"Oh?"

Zhou Ning's eyes flashed. He had originally only gone there to destroy the Curse Cult, but he didn't expect to have such an unexpected gain. This mission was the largest mission Zhou Ning had received since entering the game. The reward must be good, and there would be additional rewards given by the mission evaluation at the end.

This also means that I must go all out...

Zhou Ning collected his thoughts and continued to listen to their explanations.

"I'm not sure about the exact location, but we can take you there later. By the way, there are some chosen ones inside who have been brainwashed and forced to join the Curse Cult, but the number is not large." Qingbai Yejiu said.

Of course, he had some thoughts in mind, and he could certainly tell the specific location, but only in this way could he maximize the probability of receiving the follow-up task.

"Very good." After asking for some details, Zhou Ning nodded and said with a smile. He then settled the task.

The other two people received a prompt:

"C-rank mission [Searching for the Chosen One] completed. You received 14000 experience points, 10 Vekta, and 1876 M1 revolver."

[Wayne Stewell's favorability towards you has increased by 10 points, currently at: Friendly.]

Seeing the huge increase in experience points, the two looked at each other and smiled from ear to ear. This wave of profit was huge. Not only did they gain a lot of experience points and a revolver that looked quite sharp, but they also gained the favor of the protagonist.

"Your actions have shown me your courage, adventurers." Zhou Ning took out his pocket watch, snapped it open, and checked the time. "I plan to explore the manor tonight. Are you free tonight?"

"Yes!" The two were pleasantly surprised. They had said before that they wanted to lead Zhou Ning for this very reason.

Zhou Ning gave the two a follow-up task, asking them to meet him in the old city around 10 o'clock in the evening.

After watching them leave, Zhou Ning raised his hand and pressed the top hat on his head. Without further delay, he turned and headed to the Yu-Gi-Oh shop not far away.

Since he had decided to take action against the Curse Cult, he planned to buy a few cards to test his Stand abilities. Furthermore, he wasn't planning on calling in any helpers for this mission, instead planning to handle it alone.

After spending 10 Luo Shen to buy 5 packs of cards, Zhou Ning opened them one by one and took a look. He was lucky enough to find a Dragon of the President's Wife, a Blue-Eyes White Dragon, and a Flame Swordsman that seemed okay. The others looked nothing special at first glance.

Zhou Ning immediately returned to the alchemy laboratory and closed the door.

He found a place to sit down, spread out all the cards, and first drew out a Blue-Eyes White Dragon and placed it on the table.

He stretched out his right hand, made a feint on the spread-out cards, then frowned, failing to summon the Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

Zhou Ning tried several more times, but all the summoning results failed. As a mythical creature, summoning the Blue-Eyes White Dragon was naturally not that easy.

Since it wasn't going to work, Zhou Ning didn't force it. He searched through the remaining cards and succeeded in summoning the Flame Warrior, but it wasn't very powerful. He then randomly pulled out a Whirlwind Magic Card and tried to summon it. The result satisfied him quite a bit. A flurry of complex symbols appeared, and a visible whirlwind blew straight ahead, much like a meteorologist's ability. The stamina consumption wasn't noticeable either.

The effect is quite perfect!

Zhou Ning's lips curled slightly as he began to sort through the pile of cards, ready to use his Lucky Clover again. Tonight was his first reckoning with the Curse Cult, and he didn't want to be targeted by anyone, including that little book. According to previous tests, the Lucky Clover was a good counter to the little book's targeting.

……

Soon it was evening, and around 11 o'clock, a light rain began to fall outside. Zhou Ning silently used his lucky clover, changed into a black, narrow-sleeved windbreaker suitable for combat, buttoned up his wide-brimmed black hat, and walked slowly towards the old city.

Because of the deliberately chosen remote streets, the streets were somewhat quiet at night. Walking through the blocks, I came to the old city, where Qingbai Yejiu and Haicheng were standing there waiting for me.

According to the two players, the manor is located diagonally across the road.

"You two stay here and don't move." Zhou Ning said in a low voice.

"Okay." Although they felt that there was something wrong with this sentence, Qingbaiyejiu and Haicheng did not dare to neglect it and quickly agreed.

Zhou Ning hid in the shadows of the street, observing secretly and waiting quietly.

Tonight, Wayne Stewell joins the hunt.
