In her past life, Nie Wan specially formed an exploration team within the gang.

It's a group of players with the talent of "making guests feel at home". After training, they disperse to various level 20 main cities and use various methods to get information out of NPCs and find out what quests they might be doing.

The leader of the exploration team, Dapeng Zhanchi, is a shaman she personally trained. Because his profession was always stuck at the "excellent" level and he could not advance further, he took on the position of leader of the exploration team and was responsible for training newcomers.

When Nie Wan was reading the local chronicles of Qian Dong Village, she learned that Wan Xianshi had been working hard to become a Spirit Treasure Puppet Master. She felt that there was something to explore about Wan Xianshi and that this advancement might be a rewarding task. So she sent Dapeng Zhanchi to contact him.

After Dapeng returned, he said that he had tried many methods, but he had never been able to trigger any missions from Wanxianshi. Perhaps they had already been taken by someone else. Nie Wan was busy with the inheritance of Taiyin Xingjun at the time, and upon hearing this, she put the matter out of her mind.

Right now, the thread master has actually left her a note.

Could it be that I'm about to trigger some kind of quest by accident?

It might even be the advancement quest you guessed in your past life.

Perhaps she was beaten to it by someone else in her past life, but in this life she is the only player to have come to this Qian Dong Village so far, and there is absolutely no way she could be beaten to it by someone else.

Nie Wan clenched the note. Regardless of the possibility, she couldn't refuse the invitation.

The architectural style of Yacha Village is that of the Minnan Tulou, while the architectural style of Qiandong Village is that of the Xiangxi Diaojiaolou.

The bamboo used to build the stilted houses comes from the Blood Green Bamboo grown on Fulong Mountain in the west. The bamboo turns reddish-brown as it grows, hence the name Blood Green Bamboo. The houses built with this bamboo are a dark, somber green.

Add to that the distant mountains and forests, which are also this dark, murky green, high and low, near and far, all looking the same. Looking at them for too long can make your eyes dizzy and inevitably make you feel depressed.

However, more peculiar than its color is the scent of this bamboo. The fragrance of bamboo leaves is mixed with a faint hint of blood, seemingly contradictory yet perfectly integrated.

The entire village and Fulong Mountain are filled with this smell at dawn and dusk. Outsiders who are not used to the smell may feel a bit stuffy walking in it.

Nie Wan wandered around in the dark green, and it took her some effort to find the entrance to Wanxian Village.

This was an exceptionally simple two-story building. The bamboo and wood had turned white after years of wind and rain. The bluestone slabs in front of the building were covered with moss and had some shallow puddles. Nie Wan was wearing a doctor's soft-soled embroidered shoes and had to carefully avoid the puddles so that her exquisite shoes would lose their durability because of these insignificant little puddles.

Standing in front of the door, looking at the tightly closed doors, Nie Wan found it hard to imagine that a highly skilled puppeteer lived inside.

Regardless of their profession, anyone who reaches the "Refined" level can enjoy the salary of a seventh-rank official bestowed by Emperor Tiancheng of Baiyujing. Puppetry is a niche profession, yet it is very useful. A refined-level puppeteer's status in the village should be second only to the chieftain, yet they live in such a simple house. The contrast is too great, which is why Nie Wan in her previous life felt something was amiss.

People who don't pursue worldly pleasures are often exceptionally obsessed with their dreams.

If someone wants to advance in rank, they shouldn't be assigned tasks only to one person.

A flash of white light appeared in Nie Wan's mind, and she suddenly understood what she had felt was wrong when she gave up contact with the Myriad Threads Master in her previous life.

He knocked on the door, and an old voice spoke in Miao language from inside.

"Please come in."

Nie Wan composed herself and pushed open the door.

The room was dimly lit, and although there were windows on all four sides, they were completely covered by bamboo curtains.

All that could be vaguely seen were many motionless puppets piled together in the room, their stiff features staring at Nie Wan, which looked rather eerie.

The creaking and groaning sounds coming from deep inside the house added to the atmosphere, creating a horror movie vibe.

Nie Wan wouldn't be frightened by such a scene.

With her usual smile, she said, "The senior left this note for me, asking me to come and meet you. I dared not delay after seeing it, so I came to visit immediately. I hope I have not disturbed the senior."

The aged voice chuckled, a chuckle devoid of any meaning, neither kind nor mocking.

"You come in."

Nie Wan stepped into the room, but became even more wary.

At the same time, Li Liyuan went offline and made a phone call.

The phone rang three times before being answered.

"what happened?"

Li Xinpu swallowed hard: "Brother Xi, it seems that You Yuehan won't be joining the official team."

He told the person on the other end of the phone about how he cleared the entire dungeon, talking animatedly until his throat was dry. He talked for a full ten minutes before finally stopping to drink some water to moisten his throat. But he found that the person on the other end of the phone was silent, which puzzled him.

"Brother Xi, are you even listening to me?"

"I'm listening," the man said casually. "Even if we can't get him into the official system, we should still try to build a good relationship. You can handle things on your side."

"Aren't you going to step in?" Li Xinpu asked in astonishment. "There's a top expert on the other side and a lucky koi fish with inexplicable incredible luck. I can't handle it all by myself."

"I'm still stuck in the Demon Realm and can't come back. I can't even see her in the game. How can I show up? If you have any questions, you can ask me. Otherwise, you're still in charge."

"Still not coming back? Didn't you say you had already received the inheritance mission?" Li Xinpu's attention immediately shifted from You Yuehan.

"I was planning to leave, but I encountered a hidden NPC, so I had to stay here a little longer and figure out his quest first."

"Oh, okay, then you can just focus on the mission. Don't worry about the team. Liangliang and I will take turns leading the team."

"Ah."

The other party answered and then hung up the phone.

Li Xinpu sighed. Although the call was short and he did most of the talking, he could hear the exhaustion in the other person's voice.

When ordinary people accidentally stumble into the territory of a higher race, they would only think about dying and returning as soon as possible. The fact that he was able to discover a legacy quest is not only due to his innate talent, but also because he seized the opportunity without hesitation and devoted a lot of effort and even his life essence to it.

When I joined the team, I was always taught that the true meaning of hard work is the courage to make decisive decisions and the wisdom to think things through.

Over the years, Li Xinpu has been striving to get closer to this level, thinking more and digging deeper when encountering problems, and constantly cultivating his determination to never regret his moves.

But even after all these years of hard work, I still feel I'm far from my goal.

Before this, he always thought that there weren't many people in the world who could be more resourceful and decisive in dealing with any situation than others.

Now he realizes that he was still quite ignorant.

Youyuehan is a perfect example.

Because of her, she would never come to my side and be my peer.

After expressing his feelings, Li Xinpu contacted Chen Liang, the second team leader, and asked him to log in and share the equipment with him.
