Dragon Tribulation of All Realms

Chapter 337 Embarking on an Adventure
Before setting off, Wu Chen had pondered a question: Once he arrived in Lance's world, how should he approach and interact with the game's protagonist, the man named Lance?
This is a difficult problem to deal with.

After all, while Lance is indeed a willful and mischievous character, often speaking and acting inhumanely in the early installments—this perception is limited to the players watching on screen. In this actually dark world, a character like Lance, with his own principles and convictions, and who is simply more morally inclined, is already considered a positive figure far above the average moral standard.

He certainly did a lot of good deeds, solved many problems, and helped many people. And after he grew up, he did indeed stand up and fight for the world.

In this world, he couldn't even be described as 'morally flawed'; rather, he should be categorized as having a 'rich emotional life'. Given Wu Chen's own belief that 'every effort will inevitably yield a reward,' he had absolutely no reason to clash with the other party—unless this incredibly lucky man would defy his own intuition and attack him.

This problem is difficult to solve—because Lance is destined to be involved in major events that many adventurers will not be able to attend, and he simply cannot tolerate any male figures with more prestige than himself being around him. This means that some unpleasant things are bound to happen, and it will be difficult for either side to completely resolve the situation without the other side finding a way to break the deadlock.

Very troublesome.

Wu Chen's current decision is to let nature take its course.

But now...

—What the hell?! Lance has turned into a woman!
—And it doesn't seem to be a transformation caused by a curse or some strange object, but rather an inherent and enormous mutation. This…this means the original plot has become a complete mess. What was originally a somewhat entertaining loop has turned into utterly nonsensical drama!

—And this has absolutely nothing to do with me; it's the world's fault!
My thoughts raced.

The thoughts that raced through Wu Chen's mind in that instant far exceeded the mental effort required to rewrite Lance's work on the spot. He was certain that even if it were a butterfly effect, it wouldn't affect him. Moreover, a problem that was originally difficult to solve had vanished into thin air!

He thought about it, but he still subconsciously reached out his hand—his localized telekinesis transformed into an invisible barrier. It caught the pink-haired girl who had jumped down so clumsily.

"Ah, thank you, sir!" The pink-haired girl quickly thanked him, her long, fluffy hair bouncing gently. After bowing, she immediately went to Lance's side, looking at his landing legs and bottom with concern.

"Miss Lance, are you alright? I'll treat you right away... eh?"

The brown-haired girl's fist struck the pink-haired girl's head hard, but not forcefully.

"You idiot, Shiru! Do I look like I'm in trouble? And why didn't you hold me back just now? You slave, were you trying to escape?"

"Ugh..." The girl called Silly let out a wronged sound, but there was no resistance or sadness. Clearly, even if their genders were reversed, their relationship wouldn't be much different from the original. Lance's teasing of Silly was a special interaction based on mutual consent.

Wu Chen's lips twitched.

He had already obtained the intelligence; he now knew that this place was either on the outskirts of the Free City or in the wilderness of Lisas. The current timeline was undoubtedly the initial stage of the first part of the Lance series. And the two of them had already served as guiding lights.

So……

"Hey! Armored magician!" Miss Lance puffed out her chest, exuding an imposing aura. "You haven't settled the score for scaring me just now! How are you going to make it up to me!"

The sword in her hand was not the demonic sword Chaos that could break through the invincible barrier of the demons, but an ordinary, old, but meticulously maintained steel artifact—clearly, she was still a novice.

Wu Chen's gaze swept over it.

"You must be adventurers from Lysas. Well, I happen to have a quest for you here—I'd like to make a trip to Lysas myself. This will be your reward."

A gold ingot appeared in his hand. It was substantial, and gold coins were indeed a form of hard currency in this world. After thinking for a moment, he took out another ingot and placed it on top of the first one.

"Consider this extra piece a gift for our meeting," he said.

Without hesitation, Miss Lance snatched the two pieces of high-purity gold and stuffed them into her pocket. Then, pointing north, she raised her head. "See that? That direction, an hour's walk will take you to Lysas City… Alright! I've given you directions. The rest isn't my job… Hilu, let's go!"

She grabbed the pink-haired therapist, turned, and left, muttering to herself as she went.

"Stay away from this guy, you idiot, Shiru. He looks like the type who'll attract a lot of women. I hate dealing with people like that."

"Hey... but that gentleman was clearly a very nice person..."

"You stupid slave, don't you dare talk back!"

"Woo..."

They ran off quickly—Lance was in the lead, while Hilu struggled to break free from her grip before being dragged away, bowing apologetically to Wu Chen. In an instant, the two vanished without a trace.

Wu Chen simply shrugged slightly, doing nothing and not thinking there was anything wrong with it. After all…

The more you give, the more you receive.

Wu Chen stretched out his hand, and his pulsating telekinetic energy captured something that had fallen into the haystack and pulled it into his palm.

It's a photo.

The photo shows a red-haired girl in a school uniform with light blue eyes, who looks quiet and gentle.

Her name is 'Xiao Guang,' though her full name is rather complicated. She is the daughter of a noble family in Lisas. The search for her is precisely the starting point of the main storyline of the first part of Lance. And now, the token for this commission has fallen into Wu Chen's hands.

"Now, this is my commission."

Wu Chen nodded.

He had already determined the current timeframe—it wasn't even officially the first part yet. This was because Lance and Sil hadn't separated to gather information at the academy. In other words, they were still on their way to Lisas City.

The direction they had just been heading was clearly not the north that Lance had indicated.

well.

Following it, it was indeed a usable route.

However, Wu Chen decided to take the path that Miss Lance had pointed out for him, a path that even she herself might not know was the right one.

after all……

"Exploring the unknown is what makes an adventure."

He then took a step.
