Chapter 103

Chapter 103

As the thought flashed through his mind, he mounted Nightmare and turned to gallop toward the Village Chief's house.

But just as he reached the northern part of the village, he saw the Village Chief leaning on his cane, waiting in the distance.

At their meeting, the Village Chief put on what he believed to be a kindly expression, "Child, have you completed the task this time?"

Qin Han: "..."

Wasn’t this a blatantly obvious question?

If the Village Chief hadn’t already known the news, would he have eagerly rushed to the northern part of the village to wait for him?

After all, aside from the days of the Job Change, nowadays, even dogs wouldn’t come to this part of the village!

Suppressing his impatience, Qin Han replied, "It’s done. The Sky-Shattering Stone has been obtained. When are we heading to Blackstone Domain? I’ll break the Spatial-Temporal Barrier for you so you can rescue your granddaughter."

"However, you’d better hurry. I can spare you at most two hours—any longer, and I won’t have the time."

Hearing this, the Village Chief immediately looked troubled.

"Ah... child, to be honest, the trip to Blackstone Domain might have to be postponed."

Qin Han was taken aback. "You’re not rescuing your granddaughter anymore?"

The Village Chief sighed helplessly. "Alas, there’s no other choice. The expert we previously sought through various connections is now tied up with urgent matters and can’t assist. Without enough manpower, we wouldn’t stand a chance of rescuing her."

"If—"

Before the Village Chief could finish, a task notification suddenly popped up in front of Qin Han.

[Epic Quest: Fate Chapter—Enter Blackstone Domain and rescue the Village Chief’s granddaughter.]

Qin Han: "..."

Well, well. Another Epic Quest.

Were Epic Quests just handed out like candy now?

Weren’t they supposed to be rare?

Still, even with an Epic Quest right before him, he had no intention of accepting it.

He had already reached Level 10 and successfully obtained the Captain Token.

He could now fully participate in the Nobility Rank Competition.

Having wasted several days on Thunder Poison Island, and based on his estimation from his past life, the Nobility Rank Competition quest should begin at noon today.

Moreover, that quest was the second major event after the Job Change.

The top-ranked player in the Myriad Realms would not only receive a high-tier Nobility Rank but also a reward of 10,000 Constitution Points.

This quest was an essential part of Qin Han’s plans— not even an Epic Quest could sway him, let alone some Unique Treasure offered in exchange.

Qin Han: "Isn’t your son the Blade Hall Master? Isn’t he strong enough? Why do you still need outside help? Could he really lose to a mere Traveler?"

Seeing Qin Han’s reluctance to accept the quest, the Village Chief grew anxious.

"To be honest, from what I’ve heard, the Traveler’s strength isn’t particularly formidable. However, the Traveler’s master is an incredibly powerful figure."

"My son and the members of the Blade Hall are simply no match for them."

Qin Han shrugged. "If even your son can’t handle it, then there’s nothing I can do. Good luck!"

Seeing Qin Han’s indifference, the Village Chief gritted his teeth.

"How about this, child? Out of the kindness of your heart, lend us a hand. This time, I can gather 100 Gold Coins for you. How does that sound?"

Qin Han: "..."

His opinion of the Village Chief’s stinginess had just reached new heights.

Good grief.

Here was another Epic Quest, yet while the Sword Dojo Master had not only offered a super Unique Treasure component but also a great opportunity, the Village Chief was acting like this...

He didn't even finish his words earlier, clearly trying to bait me into this. Probably won't pay a single coin in the end either. This person, for the sake of some small benefit, completely forgets past lessons after getting a taste!

Qin Han: "I'm very busy. To be honest, from now on, I probably won't have any free time at all. I'll only get busier in the future. I really don't have time to help you with this."

"Besides, even your own son couldn't handle it. What can a mere novice like me possibly do?"

"You'd better find someone else!"

The Village Chief grew anxious: "Child, you're a Divine-level Profession holder. Other than you, no one else can accomplish this. It's fine if you're busy—this matter can wait a little longer. You can rescue her later when you have time."

Qin Han: "..."

At this moment, he was deeply suspicious—was this really the Village Chief's own granddaughter they were talking about saving?

Saving someone is as urgent as putting out a fire. How could such a thing be delayed?

Seeming to sense Qin Han's thoughts, the Village Chief explained: "Child, to be honest with you, I sent people to investigate. Someone saw my granddaughter in the Demon God's Holy Land within Blackstone Domain. She should be safe for now."
