110: Master Roger

In Qing Lan's hidden quest, Attribute Treasures appeared. In the Monkey King's Territory, there is monkey peach wine; drinking these can increase the Strength attribute.

Each drop of monkey peach wine grants +1 Strength, with a maximum limit of +100 Strength.

In his past life, the person who did this quest was called Little Immortal Physician. She was Rank 40 at the time but still couldn't complete the quest on her own, so she paid to hire experts for help.

At that time, Xiao Xing was Rank 50, so he participated as well, along with three other experts who were over Rank 50.

Little Immortal Physician was also quite wealthy; she paid each person 10 million gold coins, and eventually, everyone helped her complete the quest.

Xiao Xing roughly knew the quest process. It could be said to be a bit complex, but not overly so. With his current strength, it was enough to help Qing Lan complete the quest.

The reason four people over Rank 50 were needed in his past life was that they didn't have such strong attributes or as many Divine Artifacts back then.

However, Qing Lan wasn't online today, and Xiao Xing's Golden Finger had already been used, so he planned to go do a quest for a Hunting Master.

This Hunting Master was inside the Imperial Palace of Zihua Divine City. Most people would find it hard to locate him, but Xiao Xing was a Viscount and already had the qualifications to enter the palace.

After You Lan and the others left, Xiao Xing rushed to Zihua Divine City.

When he arrived at the Imperial Palace gates of Zihua City, it was packed with people, incredibly crowded.

Although the Imperial City was more than twice the size of other cities, most of the players here were from the Dragon Country's Capital.

Even players from cities surrounding the Capital were assigned here, leading to an extreme number of players.

Xiao Xing squeezed through for a while, and relying on his agility, he quickly pushed through the crowd and entered the Imperial Palace.

Although those pushed aside were dissatisfied, they couldn't catch up to Xiao Xing at all and could only shout threats from behind.

After entering the Imperial Palace, he bypassed the Morning Court Hall and arrived at a row of luxurious courtyards in the back.

This was where the NPCs rested. Those who could live here were all high-ranking officials and ministers.

This NPC was named Roger; he was not only a State Duke but also a Divine-Grade Hunting Master.

If one could build a good relationship with him, they could buy high-grade pet eggs from him, and even Divine-Grade pet eggs were possible.

But it was difficult to build a good relationship with this NPC because he rarely issued quests. Without a quest, it was almost impossible for players to get to know him directly.

Players in his past life also knew of his existence, but they just couldn't establish a connection. As for when he would issue a quest, no one knew; it all depended on luck.

If you were lucky, you'd get one on your first visit; if unlucky, you wouldn't get a quest even after ten thousand visits.

Xiao Xing soon arrived at the entrance of a courtyard. This was Great Master Roger's residence. The houses in the Imperial Palace had no soldiers guarding the doors, but the doors were all closed.

He used his Eye ability to observe for a moment, then raised his hand and knocked on the door. He saw Great Master Roger in the backyard, teaching his Disciple hunting techniques.

Because of the distance, they couldn't hear the knocking in the backyard. Xiao Xing waited for a moment and had no choice but to use the Instantaneous Movement Technique to flash inside.

Normally, players couldn't enter when the door was closed, but after using his Eye, he could perceive the inside, which allowed him to move in.

When he reached the backyard, he saw Great Master Roger's Disciple in a huge training field, using a rope to loop around the neck of a Seven-Star Wind Fire Eagle, quickly capturing it.

“Master, am I amazing?”

The young girl put the Wind Fire Eagle into a Beast Ring and then held it up to show off to Roger.

She wore a set of beige clothes, and a faint blush appeared on her extremely beautiful face, making her look like a fairy.

The girl looked very happy. Being able to easily capture a Wind Fire Eagle proved that she was already a Grandmaster Hunting Master.

“Not bad, but you still need to keep working hard. Strive to reach the Great Grandmaster Rank within three months. Only then will you have a chance to take first place in the youth hunting competition hosted by your Imperial Father.”

Roger nodded, but he had no intention of praising her.

Under his personal guidance, it wasn't surprising that Purple Immortal could reach the Grandmaster Rank.

But capturing higher-level pets wouldn't be so easy because Purple Immortal was still young and lacked sufficient strength and experience.

Roger could only do his best to teach her; he couldn't say for sure if Purple Immortal could become a Great Grandmaster within three months.

Seeing that she wasn't praised, Purple Immortal couldn't help but pout, showing a dissatisfied expression.

Among the younger generation, reaching Grandmaster was already excellent, not to mention she was only 16. She believed she wouldn't lose to anyone.

“Princess Xian'er is truly amazing; your hunting techniques are unmatched among the younger generation.”

Xiao Xing walked out from the back wall and took the opportunity to praise Purple Immortal.

Regardless of how Roger viewed him, Purple Immortal would definitely be happy to be praised. As long as one of them was willing to let him become their apprentice, he could become a Divine-Grade Hunting Master.

He didn't put all his hopes on Roger. Since there was a better target now, he naturally had to strive for it; otherwise, who knew if Roger would give him a quest.

Hearing the voice of praise, Purple Immortal was slightly stunned for a moment, then looked at the appearing Xiao Xing with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

She didn't expect anyone else to be here, let alone someone who would praise her like that, so her first impression of Xiao Xing was quite good.

“How did you get in?”

Roger glanced at Xiao Xing, his brow furrowing slightly.

Normally, no one could enter without his permission, but now Xiao Xing had barged right in.

This made him somewhat angry; after all, anyone would be unhappy if someone suddenly barged into their home.

“I'm sorry. I knocked for a long time, but you didn't hear me, Great Master, so I climbed over the wall. I hope you can forgive me.”

Xiao Xing cupped his hands slightly toward Roger, showing an apologetic expression.

Entering secretly was indeed wrong, but it was a matter of necessity; who knew how long he'd have to wait for the door to open.

With over 700 charm now, it was easy to communicate with NPCs, which was why he dared to come straight in. Anyone else would likely have been killed by Roger immediately.

“Considering you are a Viscount, I'll let it slide this time. Speak, what business do you have with me?”

Roger stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Xiao Xing with a cold tone.

He wasn't a female NPC, so a male's Charm value was useless to him. If it weren't for the Viscount status, he probably would have made a move to kill Xiao Xing.

“Great Master, I want to learn hunting techniques from you.”

Xiao Xing didn't hesitate; since the other party asked, he stated his purpose. Whether he succeeded or not was up to fate.

He knew of several Hunting Masters, but only Roger was Divine-Grade, so he planned to come and try his luck.

If for nothing else, then for the Divine-Grade pet eggs. If he got a Divine Egg, under the Million Times Amplification, it would likely produce a Super Divine Beast.

Because of his abnormal class, he didn't even care for Divine-Grade pets; taking one would just be an extra burden. Only Super Divine pets were qualified to fight alongside him.

It wasn't just necessary to build a good relationship with Roger; it was equally important to do so with other Divine-Grade NPCs.

Just like with Yuantai Ling, as long as they brought out Divine-Grade items, Xiao Xing could amplify them to Super Divine-Grade.

This Rank could be said to be the most top-tier treasures in the game. If it weren't for his Golden Finger, even in the Late Stage of the game, super divine artifacts might not necessarily appear.
