Chapter 11: Swordsman Lynn, Mission Triggered
After the kiss, Han Xiangning finally came back to her senses.
Her face turned so red it looked like it could drip blood.
Just now, she had simply been too happy. Without thinking much, she had kissed Zhou Han.
Now that she thought about it, her heart was pounding like a startled deer.
Oh my god, I actually did something like that.
And my sister was right there too, it feels so embarrassing.
This is nothing like my usual ladylike behavior.
Zhou Han had been about to tease her a bit,
but seeing her current state, he gave up.
Then he handed the other [Heart-Protecting Lotus +2] to Han Qinxue.
Although she was dressed in a professional OL outfit, along with black stockings,
exuding mature and sexy charm that was extremely captivating,
Zhou Han didn't tease her. After all, they weren't that familiar.
He could joke around with Han Xiangning, but not with her.
Making frivolous moves rashly would be very impolite.
Han Qinxue smiled as she accepted it, nodded politely to Zhou Han, and then swallowed it.
A few seconds later, the effect appeared.
Although she wasn't as shocked as Han Xiangning, nor did she say much,
from her proud chest rising and falling continuously,
it was clear that her heart was far from calm at this moment.
The way she looked at Zhou Han revealed a trace of gratitude.
She knew that even though she had provided the information about this spiritual fruit,
if Zhou Han hadn't shared it with them, there would have been nothing they could do.
Moreover, this spiritual fruit could increase 800 points of health.
If someone shouted about it in the chat,
countless women would be willing to pay any price to obtain it.
But Zhou Han didn't do that. Instead, he let them consume it for free.
Although he liked to talk slickly, he was truly a man worthy of trust.
If he really got together with her younger sister, it would indeed be a perfect outcome.
She suddenly felt a bit envious of her sister.
Looking at the two beauties, one older and one younger, both filled with gratitude,
Zhou Han didn't say anything, just smiled faintly.
He opened his attributes to take a look.
[Player · Zhou Han]
[Level: 3 (79%)]
[Class: None (Can change class at level 10)]
[HP: 1700 + 400]
[Attack: 30 + 190]
[Defense: 5 + 80]
[Talent: Infinite Enhancement]
[Weapon: Iron Sword +2]
[Accessory: Three-Leaf Necklace +2]
[Equipment: Cloth Robe +2, Snake Skin Battle Boots +2, Rough Iron Bracers +2]
His total HP had now reached 2100, and his attack had reached 220.
He could now challenge higher-level monsters.
After organizing everything, the group continued grinding monsters.
"Huh, there's someone standing in the dense forest ahead, not moving at all. It's kind of eerie."
Once again, it was Han Qinxue's sharp eyes that spotted the abnormal situation, and she reported it to Zhou Han.
"Be careful, the other party might be an expert."
After all, in the Misty Forest, anyone who dared to act alone
was either a fool or an expert.
"Young hero, I see that your bones are extraordinary and your talent exceptional. There is a matter here that I would like to ask your help with."
When Zhou Han got closer, he could see clearly that the other party was a middle-aged man with a weathered face.
Before Zhou Han could even speak, the man started praising him.
Hmm? Could this be a wild NPC?
Above the middle-aged man's head was displayed "Swordsman · Lynn."
Who knows what might be triggered—Zhou Han decided to try interacting.
"Uncle, if you have something to say, just say it!"
He began the conversation.
"My Lin family swordsmanship is peerless, unmatched in the world. Ever since our ancestral sword was lost, we have declined, no longer as glorious as before."
"So you want me to help you find the sword?"
Zhou Han guessed.
"Hehe, how could it be that easy to find! I just lack some materials. I need you to help me gather them. Don't worry, I won't let you work for nothing."
Hearing Lynn's words, Zhou Han was speechless.
This NPC really doesn't follow the usual routine. If you're not looking for the sword, why talk so much about it?
But as Lynn finished speaking, a system notification sounded.
[Detected mission: Material Collection 1. Accept?]
Nice, a mission was triggered.
What a pleasant surprise. Zhou Han immediately chose to accept.
Soon, a mission panel appeared, and Zhou Han opened it directly.
[Material Collection 1]
Description: Kill Steel Armored Boars and collect 100 Steel Armor pieces, then hand them to Lynn.
Progress: 0/100
Location: Misty Forest (Coordinates XXX)
The task-related information was recorded concisely.
Most importantly, there were location coordinates, which was very convenient.
Otherwise, Zhou Han would be like a headless fly, unable to find the place.
"Uncle, don't worry! I'll gather them quickly. Wait here for me."
"Young hero, be careful. Steel Armored Boars are not easy to deal with."
Lynn said earnestly.
After taking a couple of steps, Zhou Han turned back and spoke to Lynn again.
He wanted to try and see if he could accept other missions.
"Greed leads to nothing. Finish this task first before talking about others!" Lynn directly scolded him.
It seemed that no other scenarios would be triggered before completing this mission.
Zhou Han shook his head and led the two women toward the location of the Steel Armored Boars.
The destination was only about one kilometer away.
After clearing some monsters along the way, they arrived quickly.
A group of Steel Armored Boars were playing and chasing each other in their territory.
Their bodies were covered in thick steel armor, and when they collided, loud "bang bang" sounds rang out, even producing sparks.
[Steel Armored Boar]
[Grade: Normal]
[Level: 8]
[HP: 560]
[Attack: 160]
[Defense: 80]
[Skill: Savage Charge (The Steel Armored Boar launches a charge, dealing 2x attack damage to a single target. Cooldown: 40 seconds.)]
[Description: High defense and great strength. Do not provoke easily.]
"This Steel Armored Boar has really high defense!"
"And it's already level 8. Doesn't look easy to deal with."
"I wonder if its meat tastes good. I haven't eaten yet!"
"You little foodie, all you think about is eating."
Zhou Han flicked Han Xiangning's nose and said with a smile.
"Ugh! You're teasing me again!"
What greeted Zhou Han was a small punch.
Hearing that, Zhou Han also felt a bit hungry. After all, this was a real world.
At his current level, he hadn't reached the stage of surviving without food.
"Alright, after we finish the mission, we'll have a barbecue and let you eat your fill."
After saying that, Zhou Han began to carry out his battle plan.
There were many Steel Armored Boars here—over a hundred.
If they all rushed at once, even Zhou Han wouldn't be able to handle it.
So charging head-on would definitely be unwise.
If he wanted to complete the mission,
he had to split them up and deal with them in smaller groups.
This involved pulling monsters like in online games.
As long as he lured a portion of the monsters each time, Zhou Han could easily deal with them.
"Xiangning, I'm giving you an important task now."
"Huh? Me? What task?"
Han Xiangning pointed at herself in confusion and asked uncertainly.
