Is this NPC even playable if it's not nerfed?

Chapter 205 Preview Mission? Amazing Reward

The Divine Fire Furnace was created in ancient times. It was forged by ancient sages using the essence of fire as a base, supplemented by the spiritual objects of heaven and earth, and the remaining fire of heaven and earth.

From its birth, it has possessed the ability to refine all things in heaven and earth.

Later, the ancient sage was killed by the ancient demon, and it became a spoil of war of the ancient demon sect. Every few years, it was fed with its essence, which was the happiest time of its life.

However, the happy times did not last long.

Hundreds of years, or perhaps a thousand years, the ancient demonic sect it belonged to was destroyed by the combined forces of the Hundred Schools of Saints, and it was lost for thousands of years.

Hundreds of years ago, the Demon Yin Sect retrieved it from the ruins of the ancient Demon Sect. Compared to how the ancient Demon Sect fed it, the Demon Yin Sect was stingy, feeding it its essence only a few times and forcing it to work all day long.

Long Dingdong defected and stole it along the way. I thought it would finally live a good life, but I didn't expect that Long Dingdong would be even more pathetic than the Demon Yin Sect.

After several twists and turns, the Divine Fire Furnace finally ended up in Lu Yuan's hands.

It can finally live a good life.

When their master kills monsters, the creatures can also have a full meal.

The taste of the monster that killed the Qihe River God some time ago is still unforgettable for the Divine Fire Furnace.

The thought that more than twenty spirits would come to him in the near future filled the Divine Fire Furnace with energy.

God has been kind to my old furnace.

……

yamen.

"Brother Yuan, this matter is a bit troublesome."

"There are too many spirits. If we don't handle it properly, it will cause a lot of losses to the county."

Upon hearing the news, Chen Nian sat in his chair with a somber expression. He could already imagine the immense disaster these monsters would bring to Wangyou County.

Nothing bad will happen in the city.

No matter how strong these monsters are, they can't possibly be stronger than Lu Yuan. No matter how many monsters there are, they're just easy prey. The county town is safe.

But the problem is that the villages and towns outside the county seat are in danger.

Lu Yuan could only protect the people inside the city; the people in the villages and towns outside the city were too scattered, and Lu Yuan had no way to protect them.

Monsters and spirits are inhuman.

Monsters are inherently violent, bloodthirsty, and ruthless. Gentle monsters like the Peach Blossom Fairy are an exception, a very small minority.

To give an example, the female corpse in the moat of Hangzhou City had only been awakened for a year, yet the number of people who died at its hands had already exceeded a thousand.

At first, they thought the woman's corpse had killed morally corrupt, unfaithful men and vixens who destroyed other people's families. Later, as more and more people were killed, the Hangzhou government discovered that the woman's criteria for killing were chaotic.

Its criteria for identifying unfaithful men and mistresses are not fixed; frankly, this is just an excuse for it to kill.

Whether you are a heartless man or not depends entirely on your words.

It thinks you're a heartless man, and you are a heartless man.

The female corpse's illogical behavior brought about endless disasters.

More and more innocent people are being killed, especially members of the Grand Canal gang, who suffer the most deaths.

Of these thousands of victims, at least two-thirds were members of the Canal Gang.

In order to deal with the female corpse in the moat, the leader of the Cao Gang spared no expense to summon high-level superhumans to exterminate the corpse.

However, none of this mattered.

The female corpse hid in the water, and no one could find it.

Those who deserve to die will still die.

The female corpse's killing speed was not affected.

It is easy to imagine how much harm unrestrained spirits and monsters could cause.

This made Chen Nian worry about the safety of the people in the villages and towns outside the city.

……

"Master Su, how many people are there outside the city?"

Chen Nian asked Su Shiye, who was standing to the side.

"Let me see."

"The people outside the city, Shanghe Village, Tao Village, Sujia Village..."

"Reporting to Your Excellency, there are approximately 60,000 to 70,000 people outside the city."

“We in the outer city are fully capable of accommodating them.”

"Alright, Master Su, give the order to have them come into the outer city for refuge as soon as possible."

"Also, send someone to the Princess's residence to inform Her Highness of this matter." "Never mind, I'll go myself. You all send someone to Black Mountain City, where there are 30,000 border troops. Also, send a document to Anle County and Duoyu County."

Chen Nian had no intention of hiding anything; he only wanted to minimize the losses from this matter. As for his official career, he didn't care about that stuff at all.

After saying that, Chen Nian left in a hurry.

Master Su bowed slightly to Chen Nian's retreating figure.

Then, they quickly got to work.

Master Su copied documents extremely quickly. In the blink of an eye, he had copied several documents. He handed these documents to the constables below, who then hurriedly rode away.

Master Su did not stop. He wrote another announcement and handed it to the clerks below, instructing them to make dozens of copies as soon as possible and try to post the announcement throughout the county before tomorrow.

"Master, I'm going back now. I won't disturb your work any longer."

"Take care, Chief Constable."

"bye."

Lu Yuan waved his hand, and with a whoosh, the floor beneath his feet turned to dust, and his figure vanished.

"I really envy the chief constable."

"Who wouldn't be bewildered by this lightness skill?"

The constable standing nearby looked up at the sky above where Lu Yuan had disappeared, his eyes filled with envy.

"I'm a bit confused, but I also tend to mess up the floor."

The slightly older constable retrieved tools from a corner and skillfully cleaned up the broken floorboard, then moved a new one over and installed it.

Originally, he was just a professional detective investigating cases, but later, he was gradually forced to learn the craft of laying flooring.

Don't ask, the answer is simply passion, the answer is loyalty!!!

"Let me help you."

The young constable stepped forward to help lay the floor.

"it is good."

……

"Holy crap, monsters are attacking the city?"

"This is a big event."

"This is going to be really fun."

The clerk, who was responsible for copying the documents, saw the document he was copying clearly and immediately cried out in surprise.

At the same moment, a system notification sounded in his mind.

[Ding! Player "Ceton Is Not a Hippo" has triggered a major hidden quest: Monsters Seeking Revenge, A Preview of an Impending Disaster.]

A vengeful spirit seeks revenge, and a disaster is about to strike: The mountain toad spirit, whose home has been destroyed, whose personal information has been leaked, and who is being hunted down by players, feels countless acts of malice. It wants revenge, and it wants the world to feel its pain.

The grudges of the past life are being repaid in this life. The spirit mountain toad issued a call to other victim spirits. The spirits who had the same fate responded to the call and went to the abyss of the South Sea to seek help from the spirit king, the evil dragon of the abyss.

The evil dragon from the sea abyss is leading a group of monsters to attack Wangyou County, intending to turn the entire county into scorched earth.

Note that the affected areas are not limited to Wangyou County alone.

Preview Mission: Players in parts of Lingnan County, including the west and north, are required to evacuate civilians within their designated areas as much as possible.

Note that the primary target group is the villagers and townspeople outside the city.

Evacuate and protect innocent civilians to earn massive rewards.

The main mission can only begin after the preliminary missions are completed.

[Note that the preview mission offers generous rewards. The top ten players who contribute the most will receive either a Heavenly-grade Divine Weapon or a Martial Arts Technique (choose one), along with a large amount of experience points, essence, and monster pills.]

All participating players have a chance to receive a special reward.

Special Reward: The First Move of the Heaven-Shattering Divine Palm [Replica]

The Heaven-Shattering Divine Palm [Imitation Version]: ? ? ? ?
……

"Fuck."

"Holy crap, is this a reward for a forward-looking mission?"

"Am I seeing things? No way, I only fired two shots today, it's impossible for me to be seeing things."

Saidong, not a hippopotamus, suddenly stood up and stared in disbelief at the light screen in front of him.
