Chapter 59: System Reward
Chapter 59: System Reward
Such a distinctive loli warrior was hard to find, whether in the game or in reality. She was the Little Warrior that Chen Mo had seen twice before. However, for some reason, she had only now come to participate in the Talent Trial. Moreover, she wore no equipment at all and came to take on the most difficult Hell-level Talent Trial.
Little Warrior appeared in the room. Her large, dark, and adorable eyes looked around, and she fearlessly stared back at the gazes fixed on her.
She had originally intended to run over to those players and ask if they wanted to team up with her. But after seeing their looks, she disappointedly walked to the corner of the room, sat down, and hugged her legs. She didn’t think those people would team up with her.
“Little girl, do you want to team up with your big brothers?”
Two guys with ill intentions actually walked over. From above, they stared down and leered at the fair skin beneath Little Warrior’s cloth clothes.
“Disgusting jerks, go away!” Little Warrior scolded without holding back, her clear voice ringing loudly in the white room.
“You don’t know what’s good for you. Once the trial starts, you’ll suffer!”
The surrounding experts looked over. The two guys noticed that none of the gazes were friendly. They could only leave resentfully after uttering a harsh remark.
…
On the Slime Plains, in a spot without monsters or players, a figure gradually appeared and solidified.
After three days, Chen Mo finally returned to the game.
“Three days, finally I can take off this damn…”
After logging in, the first thing Chen Mo wanted to do was remove the dangerous and perverted title, Most Wicked.
But at this moment, a System Notification unexpectedly sounded.
System Notification: Due to your actions in the game, the game has become more complete. You will receive a special reward from the System!
System Notification: You have obtained the special equipment “Seed of Hope”!
Seed of Hope

Hearing the System Notification, Chen Mo widened his eyes and looked at the green seed that had appeared in his backpack.
Th-this… it was like a windfall!
Chen Mo was so stunned he was almost speechless.
He never expected that causing the System to lag for over a second three days ago would actually earn him a System reward—and such a powerful one at that!
Every player could equip five pieces of armor, three pieces of jewelry, and one weapon. Aside from these nine equipment slots, players could also equip three special equipment items.
Special equipment generally did not directly increase a player’s Attributes, but instead added some useful auxiliary functional Attributes.
For example, the Night Vision Attribute.
In the Starter Village, it was still okay; at night in the wild, players’ vision wasn’t too restricted. But once leaving the Starter Village for the Three Major Cities, going out at night—if the moonlight was blocked by clouds, or if they were in a place without moonlight—players’ vision would become completely dark, unable to see even their own hands in front of them. That’s when the Night Vision Attribute was needed.
The Night Vision Attribute was only available on special equipment. In the Three Major Cities, there were ways to obtain special equipment that increased vision, but most only increased vision by 5 meters.
Chen Mo hadn’t been to the Three Major Cities yet, but during these three days without logging into the game, he had spent most of his time on the Forum. He was quite familiar with special equipment.
At this stage, few players had equipment that increased vision by 5 meters. Some players were extremely lucky and obtained equipment that increased vision by 10 meters. When those players posted screenshots of their special equipment Attributes, countless players on the Forum exclaimed with envy.
But compared to the Seed of Hope, those special equipment items that were highly sought after by countless players were completely rubbish!
20 meters—double the vision!
And this was just one of the Attributes on the Seed of Hope, and not even the best one!
Most special equipment obtained by other players had only one Attribute; having two was already enviable. But the Seed of Hope—that entire row of Attributes was simply dazzling!
The three Attributes—Favorability with all races, Reputation with all races, and Luck Value—went without saying, though Chen Mo didn’t know much about them. But that Teleportation Skill—if news of it got out, who knew how many people would be envious and jealous.
On the Forum, there were players who had obtained special equipment with Teleportation Skills, but not to mention how pitifully few they were, they could only teleport to cities. They were completely incomparable to the Seed of Hope!
As for the Light of Hope Skill, Chen Mo hadn’t used it and didn’t know its effects. But just based on the name sharing a connection with the Seed of Hope special equipment, it probably wasn’t bad!
“Time is short; I need to hurry back to Earl Town.”
After admiring the Seed of Hope, Chen Mo equipped this powerful special equipment and then rushed back to Earl Town at full speed.
Over three days, the number of people signing up for the Hell-level Talent Trial had almost reached sixty-four, with only the last few spots remaining.
…
“Another person, just three more to go!”
In the Talent Trial waiting room, a figure flashed, and one more person appeared.
“This person… why does he seem familiar?” Wang Xu looked at the newcomer and felt the figure seemed somewhat familiar.
The figure was naturally Chen Mo. Wang Xu had met Chen Mo in reality. If he could see Chen Mo’s game ID, he would immediately know this was Chen Mo.
“Big brother, it’s you!” Little Warrior, however, recognized Chen Mo at a glance. Her eyes then lit up, and she greeted him happily.
“Why are you here too?”
Anyone who had seen Little Warrior once would probably not forget her. When Chen Mo saw Little Warrior, he walked over and asked curiously.
This loli warrior should have reached Level 10 long ago. Why had she only come now to participate in the Talent Trial, and moreover, taken on the most difficult Hell-level?
Given her rookie behavior back then—fearlessly jumping down to fight the Slime King BOSS—participating in the Hell-level Talent Trial was simply asking for death.
“I accepted a quest. The quest requires me to pass the Hell-level Talent Trial,” Little Warrior replied gloomily.
“There’s such a quest in Earl Town?” Chen Mo raised an eyebrow. He had been on the Forum these past three days and had never heard anyone mention such a quest.
“Yes, I completed all the quests in Earl Town. After I couldn’t get any more quests anywhere, I went to see the village chief. Then Chief Sorro gave me this quest called ‘The Unachievable,’ requiring me to complete the Hell-level Talent Trial without wearing any equipment. After accepting this quest, I could participate in the Hell-level Talent Trial without restrictions. But I’ve tried over ten times already and haven’t succeeded once. It’s too difficult.”
Little Warrior nodded and explained. Upon hearing this, Chen Mo was immediately shocked.
On the Forum, there weren’t no players who imagined completing all the Starter Village quests like Little Warrior. There were even a few who claimed to have completed all the Starter Village quests and couldn’t get any more from any NPC. But no one had ever heard of any player receiving the “Unachievable” quest like Little Warrior.
It seemed those players definitely hadn’t truly completed all the quests. Only Little Warrior had, and then she received this ultimate Starter Village quest from Sorro!
“Can this quest be shared?” Chen Mo hurriedly asked.
He already knew that in the game, there were no truly impossible quests. The quest Little Warrior received must be completable.
But passing the Hell-level Talent Trial alone without any equipment was absolutely impossible. So, she could only rely on teammates for help. This quest should be shareable, right?
