Master? Your master is currently in the game!
Just moments ago, he received a system-assigned quest.
This quest was peculiar, asking Zhang Pingfan to learn painting from an NPC.
"System, is this quest bugged? Why should I learn to paint?"
[Ding! Detected that you have never possessed this skill. Both painting and calligraphy require a certain foundation. Please upgrade your painting skill to advanced within the next three days!]
"…Aren't you just looking for trouble? My master refines pills, and you want me to reach advanced, which I can understand. But what's the point of painting?"
[Ding! Seeing that you're idle, here's a quest!]
"Then give me a normal quest, for example, under what circumstances can I level up? I'm the lord of Pingfan City, but my level is 0. Is that reasonable?"
[Ding! It is indeed unreasonable. When your disciple's level reaches level 50, your level restriction will be completely unlocked!]
"Level 50??? That's at least two months away!"
After reaching level 30, leveling up even once takes at least two days, and that's for someone who grinds non-stop.
For a normal player, leveling up takes at least 3-4 days.
By that calculation, it would take over two months!
[Ding! The higher the level, the more experience required. It might even take three months!]
A bucket of cold water was directly poured onto Zhang Pingfan's face.
He had overestimated the situation.
"Alright, is this the only quest I have for now? Or are there other quests, like players reaching level 40, or Pingfan City upgrading again?"
[Ding! The town has been completely upgraded. There are no further quests to expand Pingfan City for now. Other quests need to be triggered by you or other players!]
"Fine, I don't know if we can get a guild token tonight. Sigh!"
Meanwhile, Dou Youyou, unable to resist, was brought by Ji Liu to an abandoned factory.
At this moment, Dou Youyou was trembling with fear.
"Ji Liu, I'm warning you, don't do anything rash, or our Dou family will not let you off!"
Ji Liu laughed heartily, "You are a hot commodity now, even more popular than some celebrities. If I, Ji Liu, capture you today, our Ji family will be forever bound with your Dou family! Thinking about it makes me a little excited!"
In the vast, empty abandoned factory, a clean bed was set up, clearly indicating Ji Liu had made preparations.
Dou Youyou seized the moment when Ji Liu was laughing and bolted.
The moment she turned, she saw over a dozen men in black surrounding her.
Ji Liu said, "Youyou, don't be naive. Since I brought you here, how could I not have any preparation? Today, you will either comply willingly, or I'll resort to force. Plus, my prepared technology is very effective, guaranteed to make me 'one shot, one kill,' and give me a chubby baby next year! Haha!"
Dou Youyou truly cried, never expecting such a thing to happen to her.
"Master, I'm sorry. I haven't even had a chance to confess to you yet, Master!!!"
In the game, Zhang Pingfan's eyebrows twitched incessantly.
"What's going on? Why is this twitching non-stop? Has something gone wrong?"
Within the game, Ri Tian, who had been lounging lazily, stood up alertly and let out a low growl!
Seeing Dou Youyou shouting for her master, Ji Liu became even more excited.
"Shout, the louder you shout, the more excited I get, haha!!! From today onwards, you, Dou Youyou, will be my woman, Ji Liu!"
After speaking, Ji Liu lunged towards Dou Youyou.
Dou Youyou was stunned by fear, forgetting to escape.
Growing up, she had never encountered such a terrifying situation.
By the time she reacted, Ji Liu had already pushed her onto the bed.
Dou Youyou wildly swung her fists, beginning to fight back.
"Bang!"
Ji Liu even ignored Dou Youyou's punches.
However, at this moment, Dou Youyou's fists were like mechanical arms, possessing immense strength and power.
With just one punch to Ji Liu's face, Ji Liu was sent flying backward.
"Ah!!!"
Ji Liu sat on the ground, clutching his swollen half-face in pain.
Dou Youyou looked at her fists in disbelief.
"What are you guys waiting for? Tie her up!"
The dozen men in black swarmed forward.
Dou Youyou nervously looked at the surrounding men in black.
But her hand and foot techniques did not stop.
Just now, her punch to Ji Liu's face felt like hitting cotton. Not only did her hand not hurt, but it also left Ji Liu in that state. She suddenly thought of something.
Could the strength she possessed in the game have appeared in reality?
She summoned her courage; at this point, she could only try her best.
Dou Youyou swung her fists, recalling her taekwondo training.
With each punch and kick, she moved with practiced skill.
Under the astonished gazes of Dou Youyou and the men in black.
Not a single one could withstand Dou Youyou's punches and kicks.
During the exchange, the distinct sound of bones cracking could be heard, causing the men in black to cry out in pain.
In just a moment, only 4 of the dozen men in black remained standing before Dou Youyou; the rest were unable to get up.
"What's going on? How can this young girl be so strong?"
"My ribs are broken, her fists are as hard as steel!"
"My leg, my leg, I'm finished!"
Dou Youyou took a deep breath. She was now 100% certain that the abilities she possessed were likely granted by the Mythical Game.
Game abilities manifesting in reality. However, it seemed only her strength was amplified; she didn't feel capable of casting dark magic!
Although these were Dou Youyou's speculations, they were most likely true.
"Come at me again!"
The power Dou Youyou displayed made the remaining four dare not step forward.
Dou Youyou walked towards them step by step, while the four before her retreated step by step.
In fact, Ji Liu had started to panic. What was supposed to be a sure thing had gone awry at this critical juncture, and the source of the problem was his target, Dou Youyou.
The men in black could no longer suppress their inner fear and turned to flee.
Ji Liu was no different. In just over a minute, all his plans had changed!
Dou Youyou chased after them, but Ji Liu and the others quickly drove away.
"Hmph, lucky you!"
On the crossbeam of the abandoned factory, a dog's paw appeared, then vanished without a trace.
Ji Liu, having escaped by car, kept swallowing, still recovering from the shock.
"Bang!!!"
As the car sped along, a loud bang was heard, and the entire vehicle caved in, flattening into a metal disc!
Upon closer inspection, it seemed to be the imprint of a dog's paw.
