Chapter 28: Don't Go Out After Dark!

[Basic Mission: Survive for Twelve Hours.]

[Main Mission: Kill Aberrations!]

[Hint: The more aberrations you kill within twelve hours, the higher the reward...]

These missions were the content displayed on the holographic panel.

All the text was in scarlet font, which looked quite startling.

The transcendents who were about to enter the city immediately stopped and frowned.

However, there was no surprise or strangeness on their faces, because their teachers had told them that there would be clear mission objectives in the Spirit Realm.

Zhao Zheng also stopped and looked at Song Haitang.

"Haitang!"

Song Haitang didn't mind Zhao Zheng's affectionate address. At this moment, the girl frowned slightly, her mind focused on the mission that had just appeared.

"The basic mission requires us to survive in this world for twelve hours, but there's no specified location, so... should we enter the city now?" Zhao Zheng asked.

Song Haitang only pondered for a moment before making a decision:

"Enter the city!"

"Oh?" Zhao Zheng asked, "Didn't you say that this town felt very wrong? Why do you still want to go in now?"

Song Haitang seemed to be very patient with Zhao Zheng and immediately explained, "This place is too barren, with nothing at all. We don't know what the aberrations are or how strong they are yet. If there are many aberrations, staying here would make it easy for us to be surrounded and trapped in a desperate situation."

"Although this town feels wrong, at least there are so many buildings, which makes it easier for us to hide. So, for safety reasons, let's go into the city!"

Hearing this, Zhao Zheng nodded with a smile.

He asked again, "What if this town is the biggest demon's lair? Wouldn't we be seeking our own doom by actively going to the most dangerous place?"

"The possibility is very small."

Song Haitang said, "The teacher said that although the first ten layers of the Spirit Realm are mandatory, they are all considered newbie Spirit Realms, and the difficulty won't be too high. Especially the first layer of the Spirit Realm, the survival rate is relatively high, so there shouldn't be such a highly dangerous trap."

Zhao Zheng was very satisfied with this answer.

He now felt that listening to Song Haitang seemed quite good.

"Alright, let's go into the city!"

Subsequently.

The two of them walked towards the city gate again.

Among the other transcendents, the vast majority made the same choice, but there were also two teams that chose to stay in the wild.

...

The process of entering the city was very smooth.

They didn't encounter any obstacles.

"Greetings, travelers from afar. I am the city's law enforcement officer from Ron City. On behalf of the City Lord's Mansion, I welcome you all."

The law enforcement officer at the city gate was a middle-aged man wearing retro-style armor. He had a high nose and deep eye sockets, and his skin was relatively white, resembling a European in appearance. However, his eyes and hair were black, which made him look like an East Asian person.

It seemed that the saying that each layer of the Spirit Realm was an independent world was indeed true.

Of course, none of this was important.

What was important was that the words spoken by the law enforcement officer were an unknown language.

Yet everyone could understand them clearly!

This was because, after entering the Spirit Realm, all transcendents automatically mastered the language of the Spirit Realm world.

At this moment.

The law enforcement officer looked at everyone with a warm smile!

Just as everyone was about to enter the city, the law enforcement officer suddenly warned everyone with a serious face:

"Ron City is a town full of freedom. You can go anywhere, but... I must remind you that it will be dark in an hour. When darkness covers the earth, do not run around."

These words.

Revealed a lot of information.

Immediately attracting everyone's attention.

Previously, everyone was unclear about the time, whether it was morning or afternoon? Because the sky had always been overcast.

Now, according to what the law enforcement officer said, they knew that it would be dark in another hour.

And the law enforcement officer reminded everyone not to run around after dark...

Clearly indicating that after nightfall, there would be danger.

But the law enforcement officer understood, seemingly without any communication barriers.

"Oh! That's too unfortunate."

The law enforcement officer first showed a sympathetic expression, then pondered for a moment and suggested, "If you have money, I would recommend you to go to Ronan's tavern. He not only has fine wine, but also provides comfortable rooms and hot water, so you can take a hot bath and relieve the fatigue of the journey."

"If you don't have money... I suggest you try your luck at Earl Lin Lei's house. Earl Lin Lei is a very hospitable big shot. He is always very generous and may provide housing and some food for you to rest for the night."

Hearing the latter part of the sentence, many transcendents' eyes lit up.

"Thank you for your advice, respected law enforcement officer." The white transcendent immediately thanked him.

The law enforcement officer smiled, accepted the thanks, and enthusiastically pointed out, "Go straight ahead along this road, and at the end, you will see Earl Lin Lei's mansion."

The white transcendent thanked him again and then led his companions towards Earl Lin Lei's mansion.

Among the other transcendents, some were also interested in this free accommodation and followed suit.

Zhao Zheng asked, "Haitang, what should we do?"

Song Haitang thought for a while and said, "The law enforcement officer just said that it will be dark in another hour. Let's wander around the city first. If it really doesn't work out, we can go to the earl's house for lodging."

This was very much to Zhao Zheng's liking.

Thus.

The two of them walked towards the city.
