Chapter 202 Murder Case!
The others remained silent, not because they didn't want to help, but because they knew their own limitations; given their circumstances, they probably wouldn't have the strength to participate in the final battle.
Even Zhang Chulan, who is the strongest besides Frilian, has only just reached the third rank, which is equivalent to Iv5 and can barely be considered as the "Exploding Building" level. The Black Dragon is at the "Surface" level, and the gap between the two is too big. It is impossible for him to catch up in just one or two years.
"You guys aren't going to run away, you have to help too."
Seeing Zhang Chulan and the others remain silent, Lin Yu deliberately spoke up.
"Brother Yu, is there anything we can do to help?"
Zhang Chulan asked in confusion.
He certainly didn't think Lin Yu wanted them to participate in the war. The difference in strength was too great, and they wouldn't even be able to withstand the aftershocks of the final battle, so it was pointless.
"Of course you can help, and you can be a great help."
"Brother Yu, just tell us what you're doing. We'll do our best to help in any way we can."
The chat group's motto is mutual help, and everyone, including Zhang Chulan, agrees with this motto. Now that Ais's world is facing a huge crisis, they certainly cannot remain indifferent, even if it is dangerous.
"Then I'll get straight to the point. First, you must nurture and protect Chun Ji well, as her magic will play a very important role in the final battle."
The group nodded in agreement. Having learned about the effects of Chun Ji's magic, they were well aware of her role.
"Secondly, I hope you can complete the chat group tasks as much as possible, and then spend more money in my personal shop."
This is a bit excessive, but Lin Yu has no choice. It's really too difficult to reach the fourth-tier combat power, mainly because there's too little time. So he needs the help of his fellow group members to try to get as many points as possible.
After all, points are very useful; whether you exchange them for zodiac charms or gain enlightenment, they can greatly enhance your strength.
"no problem."
The others nodded in agreement, not finding Lin Yu's request excessive.
For them, completing chat group tasks, earning points, and then buying rare and precious materials to become stronger is something they are already doing. It's just that Lin Yu has this requirement that they will work even harder to do it.
What's a little effort compared to helping Ais?
The next day, Zhang Chulan and his group took Chunji into the dungeon for an adventure. Lin Yu also entered the dungeon, but instead of going with them, he quickly went to the 18th floor.
The 18th floor, as the first safe floor, has been transformed into a small town, and it can be said to be very lively every day, but today the streets are somewhat deserted.
[Looks like I can finish the task today.]
Lin Yu smiled as he looked at the deserted street.
After learning about the Black Dragon's strength that day, and knowing that even a year of normal training wouldn't be enough to defeat it, Lin Yu took the initiative to refresh the Black Dragon quest, and the chat group quest started all over again.
The first task is still very simple: deal with the new type of monster attacking the ground. The reward is still 30,000 points.
The new monster is actually quite troublesome. It's a plant-type monster with extremely high defense. The acid inside its body can easily corrode level 1 equipment. It's extremely effective in melee combat, so even level 1 adventurers will have a headache when they first encounter this monster.
For example, the Amazon sisters of Loki's Familia were attacked by these monsters, and their weapons were accidentally corroded, leaving them helpless against these new monsters for a time.
But for Lin Yu, these monsters were no trouble at all. A few bursts of fireballs were enough to easily burn the new monsters to ashes.
After dealing with all the new monster species that have invaded the ground, the first mission is complete.
The second task is to solve the murder case on the 18th floor, with the reward doubled to 60,000 points.
In a sense, the second mission is an advanced mission of the first mission, because Lin Yu remembered that the mastermind behind the murder on the 18th floor was the new type of monster.
That person's strength was roughly equivalent to 1v6, which would be very strong for an average adventurer, but quite ordinary for Lin Yu.
In order to complete the second task, Lin Yu would find time to check the 18th floor almost every day, but he never found anything unusual.
But now, the town of Villa, which should be bustling with activity, is so deserted; something big must have happened.
If it wasn't a monster invasion, then it must have been a murder.
I asked the owner of a random shop and found out that a murder had indeed occurred at a hotel.
So Lin Yu headed straight for the hotel.
Upon arriving at the inn, one finds it bustling with activity, filled with adventurers discussing who committed the murder.
"Finn, what happened?"
Lin Yu spotted the Loki Familia and went up to inquire about their situation.
"Lin Yu, it's you... Someone was killed in the room, and we are checking the situation."
C
Because the deceased's head was blown off and their abilities were locked, it was difficult to confirm their identity. They could only find out who the deceased was by waiting for someone to bring the unlocking medicine.
Upon hearing Finn's address to Lin Yu, the onlookers immediately turned their attention to Lin Yu, after all, Lin Yu's battle with Bert not long ago had shocked Orario.
Just as everyone was discussing this, a short adventurer ran over quickly, holding a bottle of potion in his hand.
Everyone immediately stepped back, watching as the diminutive adventurer poured the potion onto the dead man's back and cast a spell to unlock "Boss Polus, it's a success!"
Soon, the short adventurer reported to the tall adventurer beside him with a delighted expression.
"High elves, you can understand this, right?"
"Polus said to Riveria."
Of those present, only Riveria was probably able to understand the sacred text.
Riveria frowned slightly, but did not refuse. Although doing so was somewhat blasphemous to the dead, it was the only way to find the real culprit.
Upon reaching the corpse, Riveria began to decipher the sacred text.
"Affiliation: Ganesha Familia; Name: Hassanna Dorria; Rank: Iv4!"
The atmosphere in the room froze the moment Riveria finished speaking.
The usually calm Polus was now flustered, and his voice was trembling.
"What a joke! How could a Steel Fist Fighter be killed so easily!"
Finn's expression also turned serious. An adventurer of level 4 was no weakling, yet he was killed in one move. Clearly, this incident was extraordinary.
"Hassanar's murder was no accident. The killer did not leave immediately after the murder; instead, he searched the room carefully."
"Judging from the traces at the scene, the murderer didn't find what they were looking for, so they took their anger out on the corpse."
Lin Yu glanced around the room and then spoke.
Upon hearing this, Finn searched the room and quickly found a bloodstained letter of authorization in a corner.
