Rebirth of the God Hunter Legend

Chapter 63 I Have an Actor's Dream
Because he knew that the disappearance of the map mentioned in the divine revelation only meant one thing: the destruction of the map.

Ling Chuan looked up at the expectant Arnold, and after three seconds decisively clicked "decline".

In those three seconds, Ling Chuan considered many possibilities, such as the authenticity of the four people's identities, the content of the so-called "rescue letter," and the credibility of their claim of being in distress. However, after some deliberation, he concluded that these four people had no reason to destroy a village. They were merely merchants from the Kanvida Merchant Guild, and even if their caravan was at the seventh rank, their principle of adhering to trade would not change. What would be the point of a merchant guild destroying a village?

"Courtesy warrior, why did you refuse my request?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Feixue and Yi Han both looked at Ling Chuan.

Ling Chuan sensed the doubts from the two but did not offer an explanation. The delivery mission was not a team mission. Although Ling Feixue and Yi Han could hear his conversation with Arnold and knew the content of the mission Arnold issued to him, they could not see the system's trigger notification, and naturally, they could not see the bloody 3S+ level mission difficulty.

"Yes, Mr. Arnold, please allow me to refuse your request."

Facing Arnold and Kelvin, Ling Chuan remained composed and spoke with conviction.

This upright expression slightly moved Arnold and the others. Instead of being angry, they showed the same puzzled expression as Yi Han and Ling Feixue.

Arnold said, "Excuse me for being so bold, but may I ask why you are refusing?"

Ling Chuan didn't hide anything and said, "The village's guards and barracks are also restricted by that force. Just as you can't get close to the village, they can't leave it either. As a result, the village chief took your letter of appeal and made a second request to the strongest warrior among the adventurers."

With that, Ling Chuan gave Arnold a standard warrior's salute and said confidently, "Unfortunately, I am the strongest warrior among the adventurers of Urwu Village. Now, in the name of the strongest warrior, I request permission to go to the place of distress and rescue your caravan!"

This statement is not entirely true. NPCs in the starting village are indeed subject to procedural constraints. Even a powerful hunter like Zhang Meng has to stay in the village to stand guard. However, not all NPCs are subject to this restriction. For example, Ron, who was bribed by Zhang Meng and opened a back door for him, is someone who can bypass this restriction.

"you……"

Arnold's eyes flickered, and Ling Chuan could see relief, gratitude, and determination in them. He was moved by his own courage.

“I cannot request your rescue. Of course, you are undoubtedly a respectable warrior, but the strength of the monsters far exceeds your imagination. They are physically robust and possess the power to control lightning. You will find it difficult to contend with them. I cannot stand by and watch you die knowing that you will be in danger. That would be a sin I can never atone for.”

[Ding] System notification: Your strength does not meet the standard. [Arnold] has rejected your rescue request, but your heroic spirit and integrity have won Arnold's appreciation. [Arnold]'s favorability +10%.

Here we go again. I thought the strategies from my previous life were no longer useful, but it turns out we've come full circle back to proving our strength.

That's right, the strategy he devised was to provoke the merchant with words, making the merchant question his abilities, and then win the merchant's trust and respect by proving his strength. In this way, the tasks the merchant would give him would be upgraded from collection to trials, and the time limit would be extended from one hour to five hours. There are a total of three trials, with rewards increasing exponentially. When you complete the third trial, you will receive the final commission, the reward of which is the sum of the first three.

However, the person he spoke with back then was the chef Cook, who gave him four tasks, all of which involved hunting a certain number of monsters. There was no message to deliver, nor any request for rescue. But hearing Arnold's sincerity and concern for him, Ling Chuan dispelled his suspicions. The four people's identities were likely genuine, and the plea for help in the letter was valid. As for why the starting village was destroyed, it was probably due to other unforeseen events that occurred after the plea for help. Ling Chuan didn't want to delve any deeper; after all, research involves experimentation, and experimentation could cause history to repeat itself, without any benefit.

I understand your concerns.

He spoke firmly and proudly, "But I believe I have enough power."

After saying that, he had a thought and controlled the Bloodthirsty Black Panther elite to leap out from the pile of rocks behind them, transforming into a small mountain that stood in front of everyone!
"Oh God!! It's a monster!! An elite monster!!"

As civilian employees of a caravan, they lacked the strength to directly confront monsters. Upon recognizing the appearance of the elite Bloodthirsty Black Panthers, the four of them fled in panic.

Ling Chuan smiled and stepped forward, ruffling the head of the Black Panther Elite. The Elite seemed to enjoy it, nuzzling against Ling Chuan's hand in a welcoming manner. The intimate gesture stunned the four members of Arnold who were still in shock.

"Don't be afraid," Ling Chuan reassured him. "This is an elite monster I just tamed. With it, I fear no beast. Now, esteemed Mr. Arnold, can you rest assured that you can entrust this to me?"

Strength recognition criteria: The quest taker only needs to possess any combat unit with an attack value of 300 or higher. The Bloodthirsty Black Panther Elite, as a slave beast with an attack cap of 312, perfectly meets the criteria. "R-really?"

Kelvin, the caravan's accountant, was still shaken. Arnold, as the caravan's captain, was naturally resilient. He stepped forward, looked up at the imposing aura of the Bloodthirsty Black Panther elite, and took a deep breath. "Powerful warrior, you have truly broadened my horizons. To be able to tame such a powerful monster as a partner, I believe you have the strength to save the caravan. Come, warrior, accept my commission, head to the eastern part of Giant Bear Ridge, slay the monster, and rescue my caravan."

[Ding] System notification: Your strength has been recognized by [Arnold], successfully triggering the unique hidden quest [Rescue Arnold's Caravan] (Difficulty: SS). Do you wish to accept?

Good, it's finally back to normal. The reason why the mission difficulty is still as high as double S is because of his level. From Arnold's description of the monster's abilities and size, it is not hard to guess that the monster besieging Arnold's caravan is the strongest wild monster in Giant Bear Ridge, the direct descendant of Thunderous Berserker Belio, the Lightning Wild Bear.

"accept!"

[Ding] System notification: You have accepted the unique hidden quest [Rescue the Arnold Caravan] (SS). Please go to the eastern part of Giant Bear Ridge, kill the monsters surrounding the caravan, and help the caravan escape danger. After completion, you will receive a huge reward from the Arnold Caravan! Tip: This quest is too difficult. You can call on your friends to help you complete it.

It was a team task, and Ling Chuan immediately shared it with Yi Han and Ling Feixue.

Upon seeing the words "[Hidden Uniqueness]", the two were all smiles, but their expressions became complicated when they discovered the double S difficulty level after the mission.

Arnold was extremely grateful and grasped Ling Chuan's hand, saying, "The monsters are powerful, please be careful!"

"I will."

Having completed the mission and ended the conversation, Ling Chuan led Yi Han, Ling Feixue, and the Bloodthirsty Black Panther elites out of the campfire area.

On the periphery, the two, who had been holding back for a long time, finally began to consult with Ling Chuan.

"Xiao Chuan, the mission is so difficult, can we handle it?" Ling Feixue asked.

Ling Chuan smiled and said, "Not yet."

"Temporarily?" Yi Han replied.

"At least wait until I reach level 15."

The two expressed their understanding, saying that level 15 was the gateway to a qualitative change for Lingchuan, and once they leaped over it, they could transform into war gods!

"in addition……"

Ling Feixue paused, looked at Ling Chuan and said, "When did you learn the way you were talking to Arnold just now?"

This was also what shocked Yi Han. The translator-like tone of voice and the gestures and expressions when dealing with NPCs were skills that ordinary people could not possibly master.

Ling Chuan shrugged and said meaningfully, "You might not believe it, but I have a dream of becoming an actor."

Yi Han, "..."

Ling Feixue, "..."

I almost believed it.
