"Thank you...that was dangerous " He said, This made Lu Tong look at him silently for a few seconds before replying with a laugh while shaking his head "This are the thrills of life".

Jules his eyes Widened before also joining in on the laughter.

[Wow, I totally forgot about this reputation system!...turns out it's still needed as an Npc too! ] Lu Tong exclaimed in his mind. He then Remembered the quests he had picked

[Ooh! oh! Amazing! a Growth pa.s.sive, That's my first Pa.s.sive Hahaha.] Lu Tong thought as he read through the description, And what he saw got him excited [ From the look of it...although it's uncommon rank at the moment, by the time I advance further it would be Overpowered!]

He Then looked at the last quest he got...

Ding!

.

The One who surpa.s.ses the limit(locked): grants 0.5% stats boost... Defeat 2 Elites to unlock completely(1/2).

Ding!

Overjoyed couldn't describe how he was feeling, He never thought that they would succeed. In fact, thoughts of running away had crossed through his mind but he had chosen to gamble on Jules.

With excitement came worry as well, he doesn't know what happened here in his old life as this incident occurred before players joined the game.

Lu Tong couldn't tell if Jules had survived then or died but he was sure of one thing, And it was that his actions today had changed something. Now The question is, is it for better or for the worst.

After Series of contemplating, he decided to ignore the subject for now and focus on becoming strong beyond belief. [Speaking of strong, I have Enough Experience to advance to the next tier.] He suddenly remembered the notification and quickly opened his status.

With a Smile on his face, he used 21000 exp to upgrade his level to 20 and a golden light gently burst forth from his body and lingered for a few seconds before returning back into his body.

"What??! ...You are only now able to breakthrough from the Mortal rank??" Jules asked hesitantly like he was scared to know the truth. Lu Tong's eyebrow lifted up as he was confused about what Jules said only for a memory to play in his head. So he thought [the game developers had once said that the basic way players gauged their strength through levels wasn't the same as the NPC's. In a real sense, This game could be considered a cultivation world and the Npc grow by absorbing essence or should I say mana for the mages and Qi for the warriors. with this thought, Am I a player or not? ].

While he was thinking, His outward appearance was as though he was in daze and he would tilt his head from time to time while rubbing his chin. A notification also kept blinking at the side of his view, so he clicked on it.

"he... h... HEY!!... Are you okay? ... " Jule's voice finally broke through to Lu Tong as the latter finally looked away from the interface while berating himself [F'ck! I really need to stop doing that, I'm not a player anymore so me staring blankly at empty air might affect their impression of me.]

"I am fine..." Lu Tong answered hurriedly before focusing his attention on Jules.

"You only Broke through from the Mortal rank a minute?...I c... hais...You're pretty good, lasting that Long against a peak Expert of the spirit Realm, you even gained enlightenment." Jules was utterly speechless right now and could only sigh.

Lu Tong on the other hand shrugged while lamenting about the fact that Jules already belonged to an organization and he doesn't have anything to offer to tempt jules for the fellow to come under him. [such a shame... ]

With a serious expression on Jule's face he asked Lu Tong, "why are you looking for Domo?"

Lu Tong narrowed his eyes as he watched the Man's serious expression before deciding to tell him anyway, After all, It's not like it was a huge secret, so he brought out the Machete.

Contrary to his initial thought, Jules was utterly shocked and abruptly uttered "Wilbur!" while his pupils dilated.

"Where did you get this?..." After Repeatedly checking on the machete, he was sure of his initial thought.

Lu Tong was at loss as he did not expect such a huge reaction but he answered anyways, explaining how He was attacked by Chu palace's scout Team while trying as much as possible to stay clear of the topic related to his House or family.

"oooh... so that's how it is... you are Lu Tong yes? " Jules said immediately after hearing the story, Earlier he had been looking at the strange movements of the Chu palace and found out about the missing party. so he investigated and found out about the Skirmish with The Lu family household.

Apparently, Chu palace had returned to the scene and found the bodies of their comrades. Somehow they found out about Lu Tong and was enraged, So they placed a Bounty on Lu Tong within the Underworld.

What was surprising was that instead of the family to help or something, they placed a generous bounty on Lu Tong.

[It's a wonder How he survived till now but his luck is Good as he seems to have some fate with Wilbur!] Jules thought as he gave Lu Tong a glance from the corner of his eyes. Lu Tong had brought the hood down and calmly waited for Jules to arrange his thoughts since he didn't need to hide his face anymore. [ Wilbur had use this Machete to test fate. I can't believe his gamble somehow paid off. well he had said something like....]

"Do you know where Wilbur is and who is he? " Lu Tong quickly enquired and disrupted Jule's thoughts.

After a short Sigh, Jules answered "Wilbur is Mysterious Hermit, A retired Expert who wishes to move once he Fulfilled his dream and also an Acquaintance of mine. Although I wish to give you more information, I'd prefer you speak with him yourself to understand"

Lu Tong looked at Jules skeptically but still wished to continue on his Quest, "So where can I find him?"

Jules answered lightly as he struggled to stand up, "Leave Brittle from the western gate, and then enter the Forest on the Right...The Strings would lead you to him"

Lu Tong stared at Jules blankly, That location was a death trap from back in the game. A player Who enjoys exploring once wandered in there and triggered a quest for a hidden cla.s.s when he found a random journal lying around. But that's where the Night mare began, Puppet looking men in Black Ninja suits would ambush you repeatedly as you try to leave with the journal. The quest was to escape the forest alive because if you die you drop the journal and you can't teleport with the item.

The player who found the place was frustrated and opted to sell the information to the big guilds. but the Ninja puppets were just Evil, over and over people constantly died even as the players were in level 100s.

But if his guess is right then, This must be the easy way out as the owner was still alive. Just thinking about the cla.s.s that could hold such difficulty makes him feel giddy with excitement. By the time he came to his senses Jules already left while leaving a note.

_______________________________________________

I trust we will meet again Kid!.

Jun Lie. >

________________________________________________

Lu Tong read the letter with a wry smile as he was called a kid again but he couldn't blame them.

He then laid on his back while looking at stars for a few minutes [I need to get a cla.s.s to invest my Exp on it along with my cla.s.s skills. Haaa... I need to be stronger and ready before the Houses Rebel and the empire is destroyed by civil war.].

putting the Hood back on, he thought of something while laughing lightly...

[Let's journey to the west!].
