...

Wang Xing spent most of the day completing three main quests, but because these quests were low-level, ranging from level 10 to 15, the experience points were somewhat low.

After completing these tasks, Wang Xing had only just reached level 21.

"Finally finished the low-level main quest. Now I just have to wait for the bulletin board to refresh with new quests. After that, I have free time. Speaking of which, I haven't really explored Xuan Yue City properly yet. It's time to go and take a look. Maybe I'll even find a new quest."

After players arrive in the city, apart from the main beginner quests, most of the remaining tasks are refreshed on the bulletin board.

The bulletin board refreshes with a new batch of tasks every day at 12:00 AM. In addition to the main yellow tasks, the tasks are also divided into low-level white tasks, normal green tasks, excellent blue tasks, rare purple tasks, epic pink tasks, and legendary red tasks.

To gain skill points, you must accept quests of purple rank or higher.

Although purple-level quests have a low refresh rate, you can encounter them every few days, and if you're lucky, you can still get one.

Whether or not the mission can be completed is another matter.

In addition, to accept missions of purple level or higher, you need to have a certain reputation value. If your reputation value is too low, you will not even be qualified to accept high-level missions.

Looking at the white and green tasks on the bulletin board, Wang Xing had no interest in accepting them. He'd rather find a leveling spot and AFK level up than accept these tasks.

Following the main road, Wang Xing ventured deeper into Xuan Yue City, strolling around the city.

While they claimed to be just strolling around, they were actually observing whether there were any missions available.

When an NPC issues a quest, an exclamation mark (!) will appear above their head. The color of the exclamation mark will vary depending on the quest.

Wang Xing's eyes were almost constantly scanning the area as he walked and stopped.

Unfortunately, after wandering around for several hours, there were quite a few tasks, at least twenty or thirty in total, but they were all white and green tasks.

There are no main quests, let alone rare quests.

"Could it be that I arrived too late and all those missions have already been taken?" At this moment, Wang Xing also fell into self-doubt, seemingly annoyed that he had wasted too much time in Ironstone City.

"As expected, you can't have your cake and eat it too. If you make money, you can't expect to get skill points. Forget it, it's more worthwhile to rely on clearing the Abyss-level dungeon for the first time or getting the first kill on a boss than to rely on quests to get skill points."

"Tonight I'm going deep into the monster spawn areas. I refuse to believe I can't find a boss above level 25. If all else fails, I'll go to the level 30+ spawn areas. I can't possibly lose even to a level 30+ boss, can I?"

After making up his mind, Wang Xing planned to take a detour back, and then, as it was getting dark, he would hurry to the monster-spawning spot to level up and fight monsters.

He urgently needs to level up quickly and catch up with the top tier so that he can gain an advantage in dungeons and boss fights later.

"Sigh... what should I do..."

A sudden sigh abruptly brought Wang Xing to a halt.

Following the sound, Wang Xing saw a young man sitting on the steps in the courtyard on his left, his hands supporting his face as he sighed, looking like he was in trouble.

"Ah~"

"It's the scent of a mission~"

Wang Xing's eyes lit up, and he immediately went to the courtyard gate, calling out to the man inside, "Hello, I'm an adventurer. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Upon hearing Wang Xing's shout, the NPC immediately ran over excitedly.

"Respected adventurer, are you really willing to help me?!"

Only then did Wang Xing see the other person's name clearly: [Ake].

"Ak, what's wrong with you? Maybe I can help you."

"Really! That's wonderful! Lilia and I grew up together, we've always loved each other, and I've vowed to marry no one but her. But her father, because of my humble origins, couldn't provide Lilia with a good life, and he forcibly separated us, forbidding Lilia from seeing me again. But I don't want to give up! I want to propose to Lilia! But I have no money, I can't even afford an engagement ring..."

"Adventurer, could you help me buy a ring? I think Lilia will definitely say yes if I propose! But I don't have much money, I can't even afford the most ordinary ring..."

[Ding~ Accept the "Ake's Engagement Ring" quest? Quest Description: Go to the jewelry store and buy a crystal ring to give to Ak. Quest Reward: 20 Copper Coins, 1000 Experience Points.]

...

"Forehead..."

Looking at the meager mission reward, Wang Xing rubbed his eyes, afraid he had missed a zero.

After counting it several times to confirm that it was 20 copper coins plus 1000 experience points, he was so angry that he almost cursed out loud.

"Holy crap! This crystal ring, even though it's a white-grade ring, costs a whopping 2.5 silver coins in the shop. That means I spent 2.5 silver coins to get 0.2 silver coins plus 1000 experience points?! Are you kidding me?!!"

Wang Xing was internally ranting, but he didn't utter a word of it.

He still held a sliver of hope that this was just the beginning of a hidden quest, and that there might be more to come.

Having made up his mind, Wang Xing immediately accepted the mission. "It's only 2.5 silver coins, I can afford that."

Successfully accepted the quest "Ak's Engagement Ring". Quest duration: 24 hours. Quest penalty: None.

"Ak, wait here, I'll be right back." With that, he left the courtyard and ran towards the jewelry store.

"Hehehe...another idiot who thought he'd stumbled upon a hidden quest. He'll find out when he gets back that there's no follow-up quest at all! Hahaha..." A player dressed as a warrior watched Wang Xing's departing figure with a mocking expression, gloating as he spoke.

Judging from the way he looked at Ak and his mocking words to Wang Xing, it's not hard to tell that he must have been fooled before.
