Game of the World Tree Chapter 135

▪️Boxlunch, The Real Overbearing CEO

“I think I’ve once again triggered a hidden sidequest.”

Boxlunch didn’t hesitate and promptly sent the information he obtained to his party’s groupchat after learning the purpose of the elven girl who appears to be a thief.

After reading Box’s message, the rest of his party became instantly excited.

“Rescue the younger siblings? Box, you’re the best! This must be a new sidequest!”

“This is a quest worth risking our lives! We definitely have to help!”

“Wait… we have to go to the underworld? Is there a new location opening up?”

“Could it be Rivendell? Most NPCs’ say that the entrance to the underworld is in there!”

“Whoa! If it’s true, then we might trigger the main questline once more?!”

“Maybe not the main questline, but a new location is definitely opening up!”

“I heard there are tons of monsters there! I’m looking forward to it!”

Watching his teammates’ lively discussions, Boxlunch had the similar guess.

After a moment of silence, he typed,

“Please send support as soon as possible.”

Judging by the sound of footsteps outside, there were still many people within the caravan. If it really was a hidden quest then, him alone would be insufficient to handle this matters.

His party members checked Boxlunch’s location on their mini-map and replied with some hesitation,

“Captain, it might be a little too late…I mean, you’re already way too far from us, at least more than two hundred kilometers away in my estimation.”

“We might have to run for several in-game days just to reach where you are…man that’s going to be tiring…”

“It might be faster if we teleport over to Meryer’s castle and start over there instead, but it’s still about fifty to sixty kilometers away.”

Boxlunch “……”

He pondered for a moment and suddenly thought of an idea.

“Find Salty Cat and ride on the Black Dragon.”

Black Dragon?

The eyes of several party members lit up.

This was not a bad idea…

However, the only person who could convince the Black Dragon to help was Little Salty Cat. But the rewards from this quest would be further divided if she were to join as well.

“Hurry up and go. We’ll share the rewards with the Moe Moe Committee.”

Boxlunch typed as if reading their minds.

After seeing what he wrote, his party members didn’t hesitate anymore. The captain who triggered the quest had already decided, so what else could they do…they just have to share the rewards like he ordered.

Moreover, the Black Dragon would indeed be a powerful ally.

After discussing the matter among themselves, some members immediately went out to find Li’l Salty Cat.

The system prompt finally appeared in his line of vision right after Boxlunch gave orders to his party members.

【❗】

【You triggered a hidden sidequest 】

【 — Save the Elves — 】

【Quest Description: A human merchant group have captured a thief girls’ companions. You have decided to stay behind and help her rescue her elven companions!】

【 Objectives: Rescue the captured elves】

【 Minimum Level Requirements: 15+】

【 Current Participants: None】

【 Time Limit: None】

【Quest Rewards: Experience Points, Contribution Points】

【Do you accept? Y/N 】

After seeing the system prompt, Boxlunch immediately picked the ‘yes’ option.

In fact, he would still have chosen to help her even if there was no official quest prompt.

This was the second quest he had acquired since being captured and it seemed to be connected to his previous sidequest, “The Human Merchant Group”.

A chain of quest often meant high rewards!

Unlike the previous quest, “Human Merchant Group,” this new sidequest can be completed alongside others, so Boxlunch generously shared it with his teammates.

In any case, all of his party members are similarly hardcore players like him with an average level of 15 or higher, so the level requirements wouldn’t hinder any of them. Even among all the first beta-testers, his teammates are the cream of the crop.

His party can easily take on this quest.

When they also received the quest prompt, his party members became excited one after another.

“Damn! The quest notification came right after we talked about it!”

“Box, you’re amazing man!”

“Wait for us, captain. We’ll find Salty Cat and fly over right away!”

The members of Boxlunch’s party acted very quickly.

They soon located Li’l Salty Cat, who was currently staying at the Black Dragon’s castle. They found her trying to trick Meryer into giving her a few pieces of molted dragon scales.

“What? You triggered a hidden sidequest? And it’s happening in a new location?”

Li’l Salty Cats’ face immediately lit up with excitement upon listening the purpose of their visit.

She had just received a wave of contribution points and exchanged them for a new legendary golden staff with a stunning appearance. This quest is precisely what she needed right now to test what this new equipment is capable of.

The black dragon also overheard their conversation and responded, “What? Some evil human smugglers kidnapped a group of gentle and hardworking elves? Where are they?! I’m going to save them!”

Enjoying the attention of several players, Meryer stood up straight, his gaze resolute and his whole body exuding an aura of justice.

The party members of the Boxlunch’s team looked at each other, feeling dumbfounded.

It seemed that they didn’t even need Li’l Salty Cat to persuade the Black Dragon since he was already excited and raring to go the moment he also heard about it.

A secret is no longer a secret when it is revealed to more than one person.

After visiting the black dragon, news of the hidden sidequest quickly spread amongst the entire player population through various chatrooms.

After all, this sidequest is part of a chain quest and could possibly occur on a new map which is Rivendell!

Initially all the players were ecstatic.

Unfortunately, this quests’ location was far away and had a high level restriction. Moreover, the Black Dragon Meryer could only carry a limited number of people in his back.

Therefore, not everyone could participate.

In addition, the reward was also limited seeing as it was a hidden quest triggered by Boxlunch’s party, a rather well-known team that only accepts high-level players as its members.

So, in the end, the participants consisted of only the members of Boxlunch’s party, as well as Li’l Salty Cat, who had a good relationship with Meryer and was the only one who could persuade the dragon to allow players to ride his back, and finally, the Guild Leader of Moe Moe Committee, HootyBird, also participated as the last member.

A total of seven people, with the lowest member being level 15 and Boxlunch himself, the first hunter in Elven Kingdom. A hardcore master of grinding who ranked first on the player’s level leaderboard!

A true ‘Gaming God’ amongst his peers.

HootyBird is also planning to bring along materials in order to construct teleportation arrays at their destination. After scavenging the Caverock Tribe, the magic materials looted from the stronghold were seized by the players, and there were more than enough to create arrays.

If it really is a new location, then she will need to choose a suitable place to build an array for players to enter and exit. As long as there is a teleportation array, players are almost invincible.

Meanwhile, at the strong request of a particular group of players, Li’l Salty Cat was persuaded to do a live broadcast.

Although most players cannot participate in the quest themselves, watching the live stream of Salty Cat’s adventures in this new location is a good alternative as well.

Many curious players stopped what they were doing, logged into the streaming website by going through the internet browser in-game, and entered Salty Cat’s video stream.

After everything was ready and their preparation was completed, Black Dragon Meryer took off with the six of them…

“Hey dummy! I’m talking to you…sigh, why aren’t you leaving yet?”

Inside the wagon, the elven girl looked at Boxlunch who was sitting idly by and kicked him hard in the shin while urging him with a frown.

Boxlunch closed the chat window and finally looked at the girl.

“I’m not leaving either.”

“Still not leaving? Why? What are you thinking of doing?” She asked with a hint of impatience in her tone.

“I’ll stay and help you.”

“H-Help…help me?”

Her eyes widened for a bit before she carefully looked at Boxlunch up and down in a skeptical manner.

“Forget it… your strength is far too low. You’d better leave quickly, otherwise, you’ll be caught by the caravan guards if you stay here much longer!”

She snorted and shook her head.

“Listen, I’m not like you. I intentionally let myself be caught by these guys. Don’t worry, unlike you, I can run very fast and they wouldn’t be able to catch me if I get serious.”

After speaking, she sighed and added,

“I can’t even feel any sort of power from you. I bet you haven’t even reached the Iron-rank, have you? Go quickly dummy, don’t cause me any more trouble please, you’re too weak—”

Before she could even finish speaking, Boxlunch instantly coated his finger with a knife-like aura, pressed her down, and reached out his finger close to her neck.New novel chapt𝒆rs are published on no/vel(b)in(.)co/m

He then actively leaked out some of this power, instantly revealing his strength as a peak iron-rank (Level 20) expert.

“Now what?”

Boxlunch’s gaze was cold, and his voice was low and powerful.

The elven girl widened her eyes in shock after being pressed under him and sensing the terrifying power between Boxlunch’s fingers and his strong breath.

She shifted her gaze, and chuckled softly while inadvertently swallowing her saliva.

“Cough…very…very strong…”

Her tone was a little timid.
