My Wife Is The Big Boss

Chapter 6: The Wrong Approach to This Task

Originally, Fang Leng only wanted to improve his own strength to survive in this chaotic world. But now, he suddenly felt something strange. If he wanted to survive, having a master with top human combat power was quite a solid backing. However, this master was a bit peculiar.

She even said that he couldn't bother her unless it was something important. This was truly treating him like a disciple!

But Fang Leng also felt that Yao Guang seemed to be quite good to him. Otherwise, how could he have such a sudden realization and help her improve her skill level?

Fang Leng expanded his attributes and checked his skills.

[Six Arts Lv1] (Scholar passive skill): Scholars can learn the Six Arts. When learning various skills, the required skill experience is reduced by 10%.

[Supreme Clear Heart Mantra Lv5]: Increases total Spiritual Force/True Qi by 50% and restores Spiritual Force/True Qi by 50%.

[Five Spirits Immortal Technique Lv5]: Simultaneously increases the level of various learned attribute immortal arts.

[Fireball Technique Lv5]: Consumes 30 Spiritual Force to summon a fireball that damages enemies within a certain distance (attribute bonus, 50% damage increase).

[Ice Curse Lv5]: Consumes 10 Spiritual Force to reduce the movement speed of nearby enemies* (attribute restraint, 50% reduced effect).

[Thunder Curse Lv5]: Consumes 30 Spiritual Force to summon lightning that damages enemies within a certain distance, dealing double true damage to ghosts and evil spirits.

[Wind Curse Lv5]: Consumes 20 Spiritual Force to summon a hurricane that inflicts minor damage and knocks back enemies within a certain distance.

[Earth Curse Lv5]: Consumes 30 Spiritual Force to set up a stone formation around the body. During the stone formation, rushing skills cannot be used. After 10 seconds, it explodes, causing massive damage.

[Three Talents Unification]: Consumes 50 True Qi to unleash a sword qi attack, causing massive area damage.

Current skill experience points: 500.

Fang Leng looked at his attributes and couldn't help but laugh uncontrollably.

In the power system of "Immortal Seeking Dream," Spiritual Force, True Qi, and Literary Qi were the three major sources of power. Depending on the profession, the main development direction would differ.

Only Scholars could use Literary Qi, while Spiritual Force and True Qi could be cultivated simultaneously.

Fang Leng discovered that he could cultivate all three paths. With the Supreme Clear Heart Mantra, Spiritual Force and True Qi were originally cultivated together. As for Literary Qi, Fang Leng didn't need to use skill points to improve it. He could "create" many poems and increase his Literary Qi, while also gaining skill experience points.

That night, Fang Leng wrote a bunch of poems. Some could comprehend skills, while others couldn't. But they all brought him skill experience points. Afterwards, Fang Leng raised all three Jade Flower Palace's supreme arts to Level 20 Apex Level, unable to improve further.

To continue improving, he would need to go through trials, but Fang Leng didn't know what trials were.

In addition, he gained many small skills from writing those poems, but Fang Leng didn't plan to spend energy on them.

Now, even though he was just a Level 20 Scholar, Fang Leng felt like he could take on ten opponents alone.

Of course, this was limited to within Level 20.

As the sound of roosters crowing filled the air, dawn arrived. At the moment Fang Leng heard the rooster's call, he finished his night of grinding experience. Just as he was about to go to bed, his whole body suddenly became immobile. Then, he felt some information enter his mind through an unknown method.

"The chosen ones will descend upon this world. They will not truly die but become the protagonists of this world. Teach them skills and make them stronger!"

Soon, Fang Leng regained his ability to move, but his mood remained unsettled for a long time.

This was indeed a game, but he didn't know what happened. He had become an NPC in this game. Was the prompt from the GM earlier directed at the NPC?

Thinking about this, Fang Leng lost interest in sleeping and opened the door to go outside.

It was just dawn, and the people in the village were all out and about. The once small village was now filled with people.

The vegetable field on the outskirts of the village was the most crowded place. Aunt Zhang stood in the middle of the vegetable field, occasionally talking to someone.

"Hello, Auntie. Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Young man, take a look at my vegetable field."

The player with the ID "The First Person to Eat Sunflower Seeds" looked around and saw that the cabbage in the vegetable field was growing well, without any signs of being dug up by pigs.

"Auntie, what happened to this vegetable field? Has it been damaged by some animal?"

"Are you blind? Isn't the cabbage growing well?"

Aunt Zhang had a look of disbelief on her face. Fang Leng almost burst out laughing, and the player's smile also became a bit stiff. Damn, are NPCs this intelligent now? They even make fun of players?

"The First Person to Eat Sunflower Seeds" stopped following the script. Someone had already been defeated by Aunt Zhang earlier because, according to the official strategy guide, it was said that there would be a task to kill monsters in the vegetable field.

But according to the scripted dialogue, there was no way to continue the conversation!

He decided to make a sarcastic comment: "Auntie, what do you want me to see?"

After many players were mocked by NPCs, they thought it was just a sadistic joke from the developers. They made a sarcastic comment and left when they didn't receive a task. Only "The First Person to Eat Sunflower Seeds" made a sarcastic comment.

"Yesterday, a deity appeared in my dream and said that my vegetable field would be destroyed by rabbits. They asked me to find someone to kill the rabbits. But my vegetable field is clearly undamaged. Why is that?"

Just as "The First Person to Eat Sunflower Seeds" was about to say something, a task prompt suddenly appeared.

"Aunt Zhang has initiated a task for you: Investigate the reason why the vegetable field is undamaged. Do you accept?"

Huh? Of course, he accepted!

"The First Person to Eat Sunflower Seeds" was shocked at that moment, and then he quickly became ecstatic.

This opening method was completely different from what the experts had said. Could it be that he had received a hidden task from the beginning?

"Auntie, don't worry. I'll go investigate and come back to tell you the reason."

After saying that, he ran off in a hurry. The onlookers were all stunned. Damn, the developers tricked me. So this is how the task is triggered?

After learning about the method to trigger the task, many onlookers approached Aunt Zhang to talk, and they all received the task. By this time, "The First Person to Eat Sunflower Seeds" had already run out of the village.

PS: Cameo appearance by Sunflower Seeds, seeking votes.
