Net Game: All My Pet Beasts Are Goddesses

Chapter 70: 47 People Giving up the Mission! The Fearful Maise the God!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Upon the release of the mission, nearly 347 people had accepted it. As for Chen Feng’s group of three, they did not take it.

Joshua was confused, but after Chen Feng explained everything, he grasped it. If they accepted the mission, there would be no way to keep a low profile. The system would have made a public announcement. And when that happened, the members of the Grand Sea Guild would have found them. It was better to walk in the shadows if that was the case. In their eyes, getting the equipment drops from Maise the God was bringing home the bacon.

Not long after, the third floor of the Dragon’s Lair became overcrowded. Players could bump into their peers in every room.

“Did you accept the employment mission too?”

“I see you have the text ‘assassination’ above your head as well.”

“Looks like it we’re in the same job. Haha!”

“All right, then. Let’s get into serious business. Has anyone seen the Maise the God? Since we’ve chosen to work together, we have to find out where our target is before we act, isn’t that right?”

“The entire third floor of the Dragon’s Lair is too huge. I wonder how many hundreds of rooms are there?”

“Anyway, I haven’t caught a glimpse of Maise the God since I was here.”

“Let’s keep looking. We can’t let others get ahead of us with the reward!”

As the voices echoed, the players quickened their pace. If all 300 players had to split the 10,000 gold coins and the gold set equipment among one another, there would not be many rewards left on average. Therefore, they were more inclined that no one would be able to locate Maise the God. If that happened, no one split the reward.

At this instance, in the room where the crowd gathered, an excited voice came from the exit. “My brothers! Word has it that someone met Maise the God at the northmost room!”

“Maybe he’s ready to enter the fourth floor!”

“Let’s catch him up and stop him!”

After the players discovered Maise the God, they immediately took off. Some dashed wildly, pulling out all kinds of weapons from their waistbands: axes, staffs, hammers, shields, laser guns. When they had their weapons out, excitement sparked in their eyes.

On the other hand, Joshua held onto his dark staff, walking almost impatiently. He was an exorcist, after all, so he didn’t have much stamina. In terms of attributes, his was even lower than Chen Feng, who was three levels behind him. And because of this, he lost all his motivation to walk after a few yards.

“Let’s stop!” Joshua couldn’t walk anymore. He stood rooted on the spot and ordered coldly.

At this second, Chen Feng walked in from a room, showing a confident expression. “We have found Maise the God. We can set off now. This time be it the reward, or his head belongs to us!”

Standing next to him was Hex, who was a little down. Yet, the second he heard these words, his eyes immediately lit up.

“Let’s go!”

“We shall take down Maise the God!”

...

Agitation instantly filled the regional channel. After the players sorted out the location of Maise the God, they frantically sent out the coordinates.

[Ding! Player ‘Kaddok Dragon’ is sharing his location, coordinates 25,49]

[Ding! Player ‘Casserole Tofu’ is sharing his location, coordinates 37,55]

[Ding... Ding!]

With the appearance of the multiple coordinates, those who had accepted the mission but hadn’t found Maise the God immediately knew where they would head.

And while the other players were hurrying as they made their way, a portion of the players stopped to watch.

“Why don’t we go and join in the fun?”

“What a pity. The time for accepting the mission is up. Now we can’t do anything!”

“We don’t need to. We can watch from the side. There’s no harm doing that.”

“I have doubts. The people who are about to head there are the ones who desire to take down Maise the God! If Maise the God gets driven up the wall, will we suffer from his vengeance too?”

“Since we’ll be there to join in the fun, let’s stand further away. That way, we won’t be caught in the crossfire.”

“True that. We’ll keep our distance!”

Some curious players went in the same direction to join in the fun. They were ready: they were there to spectate and must not cause any trouble. And just like that, thousands of players crammed into a room on the third floor like sardines.

...

After Jiang Bai and Su Muxue obtained the platinum-grade forging materials, they prepared to depart to the fourth floor. In the memories of his previous life, the fourth to the eighth floor were all places where they could gain more experience and equipment drops. However, its best drop would be gold-grade equipment at most, and platinum-grade drops were a pipe dream.

With platinum-grade forging materials, Jiang Bai no longer held an interest in gold-grade equipment. So this time, he was headed straight to the ninth floor.

Not to mention, the portal map to each floor was carved deep into his brain. So he could reach each one in the shortest time possible. Perhaps the others still needed to fumble around or even solve riddles and puzzles before they could find the entrance to the next floor, yet there was no need for Jiang Bai to do so.

However, when Jiang Bai traveled from where he came from and was about to head to the second room next door, loud clamoring voices came from the outside. The people had crazed expressions on their faces, mumbling things.

“Hey, you guys! No more fights, okay? Maise the God is mine!”

“Stop bullsh*tting. You don’t have the power to take down Maise the God! You better stop digging your own grave. Step back at once!”

“You’re talking nonsense. We are all players who have accepted the same mission and arrived together. Since we took courage, there are no grounds to be afraid!”

“I’ve got a feeling Maise the God will take down your head first.”

“Heh. So, he shall try me!”

“...”

Not long after, the players broke through the door and looked up in excitement.

Yet, their bodies froze as if they had just witnessed a monstrous sighting.

“Uh... So this is Maise the God?”

The players trembled as they pointed at the man. They were shocked. In their imagination, Maise the God was slightly stronger than them, but he wasn’t terrifying. But this time, their opponent was way out of how they visualized him.

Maise the God was standing next to Black Dragon Princess Ickes. An eerie surge of energy hovered around his body. And this same energy on Black Dragon Princess Ickes made their feet rooted to the ground.

“No one told me we’re dealing with the Black Dragon!”

“Those dudes from the Grand Sea Guild. They’re shoving us into the sea full of sharks!”

“Hurry up and leave! Don’t stay any longer!”

“Wait. What about the 500 gold coins? We handed it out as a deposit. If we give up the mission now, the system will add our deposit to the prize pool!”

“Why do we need that 500 gold coins? My life’s worth way much more than that!”

As voices screamed, people scattered in panic. They were the timidest players within the crowd. They just wanted to try their luck. But the instant they saw Black Dragon Princess Ickes, they realized it was almost impossible to win out of luck. Instead, they would be risking their lives.

There were more than 340 people in total before, but now, only 300 were left.

[Ding! Player ‘Morha’ has voluntarily given up on the employment mission. The 500 gold coins as collateral have been collected and turned into a reward for clearing the mission!]

[Ding! Player ‘Gale Dragon’ has voluntarily given up on the employment mission. The 500 gold coins as collateral have been collected and turned into a reward for clearing the mission!]

[...]

Within a short period, nearly 40 people had aborted the mission. There were still around 300 players in the room, though. Yet, a dark cloud loomed over each player’s head.
