33: Chapter 33 Mission Log

As the team leader, it was only natural for Jiang He to collect the equipment.

Another small recharge was triggered.

Frost Scar Sword, Dragon Emperor Boots, Dragon Emperor Necklace...

These were basically Novice Village equipment, plus a few pieces of Dragon Emperor gear.

At this moment, the last slot in the inventory was emitting a faint golden light.

[Dragon Scale Heavy Armor · Tier 3]

Class: Universal

Level: 25

Physical Defense: 2000

HP: +3000

Jiang He made all the equipment stats public.

Several people gulped audibly.

"This is actually a universal piece of equipment?"

But Xiao Yao and Xiao Xue didn't have much interest in it.

After all, for two girls, wearing Dragon Scale Heavy Armor would look extremely strange and bulky.

Finally, after Jiang He's distribution.

He completed Old Demon's Dragon Emperor set, and of course, there were a few pieces that Jiang He gave him for free.

As for Blood Blade, Jiang He tossed the heavy armor directly to him.

"Ah? For, for me?"

"Yeah, no one else here can wear it except you."

He was the only Level 26 player in the entire Chang'an City.

This equipment was destined for him.

"You, why didn't you save it for yourself to wear later?" Blood Blade looked at Jiang He's equipment.

A broken wooden stick and rough cloth clothes; it couldn't have been more shabby.

But he just couldn't understand how someone wearing such poor equipment could deal such high damage.

Jiang He naturally understood the look in his eyes and said with a smile, "Hey, I'm just a noob; it's all the same what I wear."

In the end, Blood Blade didn't stand on ceremony and accepted the heavy armor.

Old Demon walked over and said in a low voice, "You're not just an ordinary Knight class, are you?"

Blood Blade chuckled, "You don't look like an ordinary Warrior either."

Finally, the two of them looked straight at Jiang He and said in unison, "And him, what the hell kind of Priest is he? Which Priest does melee combat? And can actually poison people?"

The three of them scratched their heads and chuckled, neither exposing the other's secrets.

However, they both had the answer in their hearts.

They were all the same kind of people.

Just then, a system announcement popped up.

[Congratulations to player Qingming Yushang for killing the Chang'an City rebels and retrieving the lost Task Book, rewarding 500 Contribution Points.]

Immediately after, a second message popped up:

[Regional Announcement: The Empress has issued an imperial edict summoning the warriors of Chang'an City to the Imperial Palace for a discussion.]

Seeing this, Jiang He and his group immediately set off to return to the main city.

Inside the Imperial Palace hall.

Gu Qingming stood straight and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, it is my honor to be able to share your burdens."

Not long ago, Gu Qingming was grinding monsters in the wild and accidentally discovered a fleeing NPC, triggering a hidden quest.

That was how he learned that the Task Book in Chang'an City had been stolen, which was why no quests had been issued to players.

Now that the Task Book had been recovered, the Empress immediately summoned all players to announce this matter.

Gu Qingming also received a corresponding reward.

Relying on 500 Contribution Points, he obtained a new identity.

[Prefect · Fifth Rank Lower]

"Good, with the assistance of a Prefect from now on, I can surely rest much easier." The Empress laughed heartily.

Very soon, players began to enter the Imperial Palace one after another.

In a short while, the hall was filled with people.

People familiar with Gu Qingming came over to congratulate him:

"Congratulations, Young Master Gu! Obtaining an official position in Chang'an City in just a few days, is this the rhythm of taking off?"

...

Facing the flattery of the crowd, Gu Qingming lost his way for a moment.

But the anger in his heart burned even brighter.

"Game ID, you just wait, one day I will step on your head."

"And Bai Luoyao, I will let you know how foolish your choice was."

At this moment, a summons rang out: "Baron has arrived."

The crowd parted into two rows, and Jiang He led the group as they walked slowly into the hall.

"Holy cow? Game ID, do you have that much prestige?" Blood Blade asked in a low voice.

Old Demon, who was beside him, was also dumbfounded: "No way, man? Did you hack the game?"

Jiang He walked forward without changing his expression.

But inside, he was feeling incredibly satisfied.

This feeling of being admired by thousands was something he felt for the first time in his life.

The Empress smiled and said, "Baron, you have arrived."

"Yes, Your Majesty. I haven't seen you for a few days, and you've become even more beautiful."

The Empress smiled and touched her face, "Re, really?"

"Of course it's true. I'm a person who never speaks nonsense; every word is true."

Everyone in the hall was dumbfounded.

With just a few polite words, Jiang He had coaxed the Empress so well.

She was practically like a girl next door, and her face even turned red.

Feeling the gaze of the crowd, the Empress immediately put away her smile and turned to shout at the servant beside her:

"You dog of a servant, why haven't you quickly offered a seat to the Baron?"

Very soon, several officials brought over a chair.

Jiang He crossed his legs and sat down, "Thanks, Your Majesty. By the way, what's the matter with calling us here this time?"

The Empress sat upright on the dragon throne and informed everyone about the matter of the Task Book.

In an instant, the entire hall was in an uproar.

"Great, finally there are quests to do."

"I told you, how can you play a game without doing quests? Grinding monsters every day is making me want to vomit."

At this moment, Jiang He bowed his head in thought.

So the function of this Task Book is this significant?

It not only can automatically generate quests, but even the rewards are automatically generated.

At the same time, the more quests completed, the more it can boost the national fortune of Chang'an City?

But at the moment, the Empress was worried.

Issuing quests always requires someone to manage it.

But right now, she didn't know who to choose. The official previously responsible for issuing quests had been bought off by another country and intended to run away with the Task Book.

For a job that concerns the national fortune, she absolutely had to find someone trustworthy.

The Empress suddenly asked, "My subjects, is there anyone willing to take on this position?"

After her voice fell, no one answered.

A group of officials lowered their heads; no one dared to speak.

This job was not easy; every day one had to wait for players to come and accept quests, and wait for them to come and turn them in.

Basically, there was not a moment of rest.

The Empress was worried and looked at Jiang He, "Baron, do you have any candidate to recommend?"

Jiang He was stunned, "Your Majesty, for such an important national matter, shouldn't I refrain from giving suggestions?"

"Baron, you are joking. You hold a title; you should naturally offer suggestions for such state affairs."

"Oh, then let it be Prime Minister Chen Anhe; he is the Prime Minister, holds a high position, and is trustworthy."

As soon as he finished speaking, Prime Minister Chen Anhe immediately rushed out of the crowd, crying and shouting, "No, Baron! I am old, and I cannot handle such an important task."

Prime Minister Chen Anhe kept blinking at Jiang He.

Thinking to himself: Just let me off; I'm at this age, isn't this pushing me to my death?

Just then, a voice came from among the players.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to take on this position."

Gu Qingming walked slowly out from the crowd.

At this moment, Jiang He noticed the ID above his head.

[ID: Qingming Yushang (Prefect · Fifth Rank Lower)]
