I deliver food in a bizarre world

Chapter 57 Yongle Theater

Green tasks are safe but offer low rewards, red tasks offer high rewards but carry huge risks, and yellow tasks are in the middle, with a relatively balanced risk and reward.

Chen Mo felt that this task list was somewhat similar to item levels in a game, with green being the worst and red being the best...

I just don't know if they have blue, purple, gray, or white ones...

He currently has 3750 spirit coins, which is not a small amount. If he were to exchange them, he could get quite a few things.

The rewards and penalties for yellow-level tasks are within his acceptable range, and the "random basic talisman" might be helpful for his learning of talisman arts.

Yongle Theater… He pondered for a moment, feeling as if he had heard someone mention it somewhere before; it was a place from an old urban legend in Jinghai City.

But I can't remember the specific details.

It seems that some local classmates mentioned it when I was in middle school.

Jinghai City has ten strange occurrences: the Mirror Hotel, the Blood-Red Hospital, the Seventh Textile Factory, the Yongle Theater, the Smiling Scarecrow, the Endless Staircase, the Unmanned Subway Station, the Silent Library, the Death Live Broadcast Room, and the Jing'an Garden in the Western Suburbs.

This is already the third location he's encountered...

"Tianyi, which mission do you think is better to take?" Chen Mo asked in his mind.

"Brother Mo, I'm somewhat familiar with these places," Zhao Tianyi said hesitantly.

"familiar?"

"Yes, during the months I spent at the cemetery, I think I heard some wandering old ghost mention that there was a theater owner who was very obsessed with opera, and no one wanted to mess with him."

"The well in the northern suburbs is even more dangerous. For ordinary people, no matter which of these two places they go to, they will never come out."

After a moment of contemplation, Chen Mo made a decision.

He needs to grow and needs resources. He can't progress if he stays in the safe zone, so green missions are out of the question.

The red one is far too dangerous; the assessment that it's a near-death experience is no joke!

In contrast, yellow tasks are a good opportunity. Although there are penalties, as long as you pay attention to the notes and prepare everything properly, you can succeed.

His finger lightly touched the yellow-bordered "[Order: Wandering Costume]".

[Accept the weekly quest "The Wandering Costume"?]

[After accepting the task, the time limit will begin counting down.]

Chen Mo took a deep breath and chose "Yes".

The taskbar on the screen lit up, and a countdown of 168:00:00 appeared below.

It seems he needs to find an opportunity to visit the abandoned Yongle Theater. However, he has plenty of time and needs to prepare properly.

In the evening, Chen Mo returned home and inquired about information about the Yongle Theater in his fan group.

The fan group of 10,000 people is already full; this wave of traffic is simply too huge.

This group originally had just over nine thousand members, but now it's completely full!

Moreover, he only had this one group before, but after the amusement park incident, he created more than a dozen groups with tens of thousands of members each...

Among them were groups he hadn't joined, another large group...

This left him speechless.

If he starts selling products directly... won't he get criticized?

After sending the message to all the groups, Chen Mo waited for a while but didn't receive any useful information.

This time, even Lao Tong didn't know the details; he only said that the place was extremely dangerous.

Chen Mo was somewhat confused. Logically speaking, this shouldn't be happening, right?

Yongle Theater has been around for quite some time, and it's become a legendary haunt in Jinghai City. As a local, Lao Tong shouldn't be able to avoid it...

His reply was simple: "There's nothing special about that place during the day, but everyone who went there at night is dead!"

Chen Mo narrowed his eyes as he looked at the message.

Is this really so weird?

Early Tuesday morning, when the weekly task pool refreshed again, Chen Mo was still asleep and completely unaware of it.

When he woke up in the morning, he picked up his phone and yawned.

Judging by the time, the tasks should be refreshed around midnight on Tuesday.

A new daily order popped up on his phone, and without hesitation, he accepted it.

[Order: A Disappointing Echo]

[Item: Cursed Secondhand Music Box (Pickup required at designated parcel locker)]

Delivery address: Downstairs at Building 12, South Zone, Jinyang Residential Area, Fengwo Express Locker, pickup code 66666666.

[Tracing the source: Old Wang's General Store in the East City Secondhand Market.]

[Note: This music box has changed hands several times, causing each owner to experience symptoms such as mental confusion, nightmares, and auditory hallucinations. It is imbued with a lingering resentment, stemming from an unfinished, sorrowful melody. Mission requirement: Purify the music box of this lingering resentment, or trace it back to its source to resolve it.]

[Time Limit: 72 hours]

[Reward: 200 Spirit Coins, slight increase in spiritual power.]

[Punishment: Mild mental pollution (not permanent, but will be accompanied by auditory hallucinations for one week)]

Chen Mo rubbed his eyes, fully waking up.

The 72-hour time limit is quite generous. This task takes time, mainly because tracing the source is a rather troublesome process.

The app seemed to be aware of this and didn't push too hard, giving the user plenty of time.

The reward is 200, and judging from the task description, it's not very difficult, so this daily order shouldn't be too risky.

However, given that it involves the physical transfer of goods and the impact on multiple people, he still needs to be careful in handling it.

Otherwise, ordinary people could easily get involved, causing negative consequences.

He noted down the task information and planned to pick up the music box on his way to deliver food during the day.

When he got up, washed up, and ate breakfast, he realized that the weekly tasks had been refreshed.

He opened the app again and went to the weekly tasks interface.

Three new task boxes came into view.

The first task box is light blue, the second task is dark purple, and the third task is still dark red!

"Tsk, there really is one?"

Chen Mo was thinking about the different difficulty levels of the mission yesterday.

As a result, two more appeared today.

[Order: Temple Night Watchman (Perilous Situation)]

[Item: Three sticks of soothing incense (must be prepared by the user or purchased from the in-game store)]

Location: Chenjia'ao, 30 li north of the city, abandoned ancestral hall.

[Note: This is an abandoned ancient ancestral hall where descendants of the family must take turns keeping watch at night. Legend has it that once the incense goes out, the spirits enshrined within will awaken and follow the last person on watch home. Stay alert and do not let the incense go out. Task requirement: Light the incense to appease the spirits and remain in the ancestral hall until dawn the next day.]

[Timeframe: Within 7 days of acceptance, from sunset to cockcrow on any day.]

[Reward: 400 Spirit Coins, Family Blessing (weak, lasts one week)]

[Punishment: Marked and tracked by an unknown entity (duration unknown)]

[Order: Last subway train (life hanging by a thread)]

[Item: A special "ticket" (must be purchased at a designated station's automatic ticket machine at a specific time)]

Location: Lianhua Road Station, Line 3 of Jinghai Metro, after the last train.

[Note: Legend has it that after the last subway train in every city, there is a "ghost subway" that doesn't carry living people. It specifically transports lingering, unable-to-leave spirits to their proper destinations. If a living person mistakenly boards this train, they will find the passengers dressed in clothing from different eras, the carriage silent, and the platform outside the window either pitch black or presents eerie scenes. Mission Requirements: Successfully board and ride for one stop, then get off at the next stop.]

[Time Limit: Must be completed within 7 days of pickup and within 10 minutes of the last bus on the operating day.]

[Rewards: 800 Spirit Coins, slight increase in Spirit Eye experience, 1 piece of special material "Netherworld Iron Fragment"]

[Punishment: Lost in unknown space (extremely difficult to return, choose carefully!)]
