Exploring the Misty Forest

Tulas City was a place that all players wanted to go, and the Adrian Town was a must-pass point. Many players gathered here, and it was very lively.

However, many players did not have sufficient accumulation from the Novice Village as they did not complete enough missions, and did not have good equipment and attributes. They started feeling regretful only after they reached Adrian Town. However, they could not return to the Novice Village, and with their current strength, they could not complete the compulsory mission.

As of now, people were trapped at Adrian Town as they could not complete the mission.

"Level 15 party requesting to be guided through the Misty Forest, 500 gold coins..."

"Top players conquering the Misty Forest, 2000 gold coins, guaranteed success…"

"Forming a team, 200 gold coins per person, come quickly..."

"The Wolf Union is making an offer. Anyone who wants to cross the Misty Forest, come quickly, 1,000 gold coins per person, guaranteed success..."

Some of the union members who saw an opportunity ran back and forth to earn some gold coins. They would bring batches of people who could not cross the Misty Forest, and thus earn a lot of gold coins.

Meanwhile, in the resurrection points of the surrounding dungeons, there were many new players resurrecting.

"F*ck, I was careless! I spent so many gold coins to resurrect as well..."

"Hahahaha, luckily, resurrection won't cost us any experience. Otherwise, we would have returned to the Novice Village a long time ago."

"How do we fight this dungeon? It's impossible to clear it..."

"Why didn't I grind in the Novice Village for a while longer? It's too late now..."

While some of the players paid a large amount of gold coins and hired people to bring them through the Misty Forest, most of the ordinary players chose to go around the town to accept some small missions to level up and equip themselves.

James Williams could only shake his head silently in response.

On the Eternity Continent, if one did not upgrade their equipment, weapons, and pets, they would be instantly killed by wild monsters when they left the town. They were referred to as casual players.

...

Standing at the edge of the town, James Williams glanced around. In front of the small tavern stood a group of dwarves. They were dressed in thick clothing and spoke irritably!

There were about ten of them. Some were tall and some were small. The tall ones were only half the height of a man, while the small ones were only as tall as a man's thigh. Some of the yordles' clothes were tattered, and they looked at the passersby around them vigilantly.

'I actually found yordles in this small town? How lucky.'

James Williams' eyes flashed, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile as he walked over.

On the Eternity Continent, the yordles were a neutral race. They did not establish a huge kingdom like humans did. On the contrary, they established the Yordles Insurance Company, and the ruler was a board member of the yordles. The biggest characteristic of their race was that their technological level was far ahead of the Eternity Continent.

After building a good relationship with these yordle people, it would be very easy for his union to establish a territory in the future.

...

At this moment.

A group of players had gathered around the yordle people. They had the same thoughts as James Williams. They wanted to accept a mission from the yordle people and earn a good impression from them.

"Oh, yordle people, you guys are good friends of us humans. May I know how I can help you?" A player that had Emperor Union in his name said to the yordle leader respectfully.

"Sorry, we are unable to offer missions," said the yordle leader coldly.

"Hey, friend, here are 1000 gold coins. I hope these gold coins can be a witness of our friendship." A player from Regional Union started to bribe the yordle people.

[Ding! You paid 1000 gold coins to gain 1 reputation from the yordle people!]

"Damn it, 1? I spent so much money and you didn't even give me a mission, you greedy yordle people!"

"[Due to you insulting the yordle people, reputation - 100!]

"Ah... I was wrong, don't deduct my reputation," the player said helplessly.

...

Players kept trying to trigger conversations around the yordle people to obtain missions, but all of them failed without exception.

However, the players also knew that the yordles' missions generally required reputation points to obtain. However, they also wanted to take a look. After all, 1 reputation point required 1,000 gold coins, not many people could afford such expenses.

The yordles were neutral races, and they were very stubborn. They would not recognize the empire reputation, elf reputation and NPC reputation points. Similarly, they would not recognize the reputation points of the various major cities.

At this stage, the players did not have enough reputation points of the yordle people, so it was normal that they could not accept the missions.

...

Just as everyone was scratching their ears and cheeks trying to think of a way to obtain the yordle mission, James Williams walked up.

He did not have the reputation of the yordle people, but he wanted to try his luck.

However, just as he approached the outermost part of the crowd, the leader of the yordle people pushed aside the crowd and walked toward him. He then said happily, "Dear Mr. Hades, I heard that you have a very good reputation in the Dragon Clan. Are you willing to help us poor yordle people?"

Ah? Just like that? He walked over and managed to initiate a conversation?

James Williams was stunned for a moment and then said, "Of course I'm willing. I can't ask for more."

[Ding!]

[Congratulations, because of your 100 reputation points in the Crimson Fire Dragon Clan, Mr. Bolton, the manager of the Yordle Insurance Company, is very appreciative of you, and has sent you a hidden mission, Request for Escort!]

[Mission: The Yordle Insurance Company's ship had an accident in the river in front of Adrian Town, and now the yordle people are trapped here. Please bring them to Tulas City. They will be very grateful for your help!]

[Note: The more yordle people you escort, the more generous the reward will be!]

The game notifications popped up one by one.

It was actually a hidden mission!

James Williams was overjoyed. He had just remembered that on the Eternity Continent, the dragon race's strength was very mighty. Therefore, the reputation of the dragon race was essentially recognized by all the neutral camps. After all, if they could obtain the dragon race's recognition, there was no reason for the other humans, the yordle people, and the elves to not recognize them.

He thought back to when he was farming the Dark Swamp dungeon, the 100 reputation points that the Crimson Fire Dragon had given him were now of great use.

"I accept the mission!"

James Williams did not waste any more words and directly accepted the mission. Soon, a total of 25 yordles joined his team.
