Building a sect from scratch.

Chapter 421 Straight ball
"Didn't the rabbits from Quanxianwang City arrive today? Let them inquire about Nuwa there first,"

One professor suggested, "Also, didn't Feng Liqi say that her tribe was called the 'Xuju Tribe'? Let's look for everything related to this 'Xuju Tribe'!"

The others weren't idle either; some were scribbling notes on scrap paper, while others offered some quite feasible suggestions.

"Have Xiao Liu gather some information about Earth, specifically the pronunciation of the word 'Xuju,' and see if it's similar to anything recorded in ancient Chinese texts. Focus on checking pre-Qin dynasty texts!"

Some linguistics professors hold a pessimistic view: "The chances of finding it are slim. The pronunciation of a language changes with history, especially since the regime in the Guixu Realm is extremely unstable and its language has undergone many changes. Even if our Zhonghua people share the same origin as them, their pronunciations have probably changed a long time ago! Don't forget, the pronunciation of our modern Zhonghua language is completely different from that of the ancient Zhonghua language!"

Aunt Wang, who had rushed over, had just pushed open the door when she overheard the last few sentences of their discussion. She quickly interjected, making the final decision: "No matter what, let's try to find it first... This matter is of utmost importance!"

The words had barely left his mouth when a voice from next door came through the conference room's loudspeaker: "Report! The central control system has already issued the task! It's following the emergency procedure, and hasn't been approved yet!"

Aunt Wang nodded in satisfaction: "Perfect response!"

The professor who had initially spoken out agitatedly had calmed down and explained, "That's right. Our opinion was to stabilize the communication between the players and Fenglixi before discussing the next step. We didn't expect the control center to act so quickly, and their ideas coincided with ours. They immediately assigned the mission!"

Aunt Wang nodded, then, while thinking for a moment, quickly said, "Okay, notify all departments to have a meeting in five minutes. Go to meeting room number one... no, go to meeting room number six. That meeting room is bigger. Notify all departments except the farming department. Also, Xiao Liu, organize this matter as quickly as possible and report it to the higher-ups. Don't use the emergency channel yet. This isn't urgent. We just need to keep things stable here. Proceed conservatively for now and wait for the higher-ups' reply!"

……

"【The Sealed History】?"

At the same time, Huangzhucao stared blankly at the golden quest that suddenly appeared in her field of vision, dumbfounded.

[The Sealed History]: [Deeply engage with Feng Liqi to explore the origins of humanity, unveil the mysteries of human birth, and uncover the sealed history. (Shareable and team-based participation, maximum 30 participants) (Rewards: 20000 Exp, 3000 Sect Contribution Points, 3000 Sect Prestige Points, Limited-Edition Mysterious Item)]

She frantically typed in the team chat—

"I've received a hidden gold quest!"
"It's related to that NPC named 'Feng Liqi'!"

The players who were originally discussing how to repair the Nuwa Stone immediately abandoned their previous topic and sighed with envy and jealousy.

"Holy crap! Incredible luck!"

"You! You're not allowed to play 'Ten Continents Chronicle'!"

"I'm absorbing all this good luck! I've never seen a hidden gold quest since I created this account, sob sob!"

Some experienced players quickly grasped the key point and asked, "What are the rewards? Can they be shared?"

Huangzhucao didn't reply, but directly shared the task with the team, which drew a chorus of "the boss is so generous".

After sharing the quest, she typed in the team chat: "I'll chat with her first, you guys wait to respawn!" The players who received the shared quest immediately went from jealous to sycophantic.

"Go boss! You'll win!"

"Boss, just tell me what you need! I'll bring it to you as soon as I'm resurrected! I'll even run errands to buy you milk tea and fried chicken!"

"Ugh! Shameless! Don't listen to him, Emperor Bamboo Grass! I've stocked up on lots of snacks in my backpack! You can pick and choose whatever you want when I respawn!"

……

Although the team was having a great time because of the hidden gold quest, Nietzsche didn't participate at all.

She took advantage of the resurrection to log out of the game pod to use the restroom, and then busied herself privately messaging retired farmers in a large group chat on a third-party chat software, trying to find out what methods they had used to achieve their first clear.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she introduced herself, the other party sent a video pop-up, which startled her!
Nietzsche hesitated for a long time before answering the call.

Fortunately, her roommate, who studies archaeology, recently went on a business trip to S province with her supervisor, so she was the only one in the double room for the time being, which relieved her of the worry that she might disturb her roommate.

"Hello, little bunny, let me introduce myself first,"

As soon as the video call connected, a gray-haired man appeared on the screen. He looked quite old, but he was very energetic. He didn't have many wrinkles on his face, but there were several deep vertical lines between his eyebrows, which suggested that he was someone who worked hard all the time.

Nietzsche guessed that this person must be the "Retired Farmer"—players of "Ten Continents Chronicles" had joined the large group created by Wang Ergou to facilitate communication and networking. Two of the 5000-person groups were already full, and it was rumored that the third group was also nearing full capacity. As one of the earlier players and a well-known guild leader in the game, Nietzsche was fortunate enough to squeeze into one of the groups.

Compared to Group 2 and Group 3, Group 1 is relatively quieter, and its members are mostly veteran players and expert players. [Retired Farmer] is a friend that Nietzsche added through private chat in Group 1. This expert player, who is suspected of being a "middleman," has a weak presence. He has asked a few questions occasionally, but most of the time he doesn't speak. Even when teased about being a "middleman," he only sends a smiling emoji to show friendliness, so he has always been regarded by everyone as a middle-aged uncle.

Uncle Tian, ​​whose appearance was not much different from the others in the group, was wearing a friendly and amiable smile and seemed very polite. However, he seemed to be in a noisy room, with people coming and going in a hurry, and...

Whether it was Nietzsche's imagination or not, she always felt that these people had an indescribable special temperament, which was very similar to Elder Lu Ying in the game!

Just as Nietzsche was lost in thought, Uncle Tian said with a smile, "My surname is Tian. You can call me Lao Tian or Uncle Tian. I know that your Haoqi Changcun community is doing very well. You are so young, yet you can lead such a group of little rabbits so well. You are very capable! We wanted to contact you a long time ago, but we had some trivial matters to attend to. Please forgive us for not being able to do so now!"

Nietzsche felt a little embarrassed by an elder's words, and she quickly waved her hands, "No, no! It's just, it's just communication between players! I never expected that someone with your refined demeanor, Uncle Tian, ​​would play this kind of game!"

Uncle Tian's smile grew even more amiable, and then he uttered something astonishing: "Hehehe, I don't usually play this kind of game, but I was rehired by my superiors, and playing this game is part of their mission, including coming to find you this time. Little Rabbit, you and your pioneering team have encountered something extraordinary!"

"Me, me, you, up there!?"

Nietzsche was caught off guard by the opponent's direct question, almost speechless, and stammered for a long time before finally finding his voice and cautiously asking, "Uncle Tian, ​​which 'above' are you referring to?"
