Satisfied with his incredibly luxurious stats and equipment, Da Xiong truly felt like a super-rich player. This surge from the bottom to the top was incredibly exciting. If he hadn't known that he hadn't completed the first main quest yet, Da Xiong probably would have been confident enough to take on the final boss.
However, with the current strength of Nobita's group, going head-to-head with the complete unknown big boss would be a sure way to get wiped out. After equipping the three divine artifacts and sorting out his own attributes, Nobita was about to go check on Gian's situation when the system notification sounded in his mind.
"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have triggered the main quest 'Dream Three Musketeers.' The number of Dream Three Musketeers is currently 3/3. The first stage of the quest is now open. Reward: one high-level treasure chest."
Chapter Twenty: Infinite Artifacts (Part Nine)
"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have triggered the main quest 'Dream Three Musketeers'. The number of Dream Three Musketeers is currently 3/3. The first stage of the quest has been activated. The reward is a high-level treasure chest, which has been placed in the system inventory. Please check it."
Just as Nobita and the others finished packing up and were preparing to leave, a long-awaited system notification sounded in Nobita's mind, indicating that the first stage of the Dream Three Musketeers mission had been completed.
"Hmm, why does it say the task is complete?"
Nobita had just equipped himself with the three divine artifacts left by the White Dragon and hadn't even recovered from the shock when the system's sudden reminder left him quite puzzled. He had only given Jatos a good beating and hadn't even fully subdued him yet, but the mission was already marked as complete. Could it be that Jatos in this world was a masochist, getting more and more resilient and happier the more he was beaten?
Looking at the system's progress notification, Nobita curiously opened the system's task panel, which showed that the basic main quest to collect the three dream swordsmen had been completed.
The system's tasks came one after another. Judging from the meticulous nature of this game system, Jatos, who was lying under the Jianmu tree, should have woken up. It's just unknown what kind of internal struggle he went through to actually submit to Nobita. Otherwise, the system wouldn't have rashly indicated that the task had been completed.
Since Nobita has already completed the most basic Dream Three Musketeers quest, the first part of the game's main quest finally appears in front of Nobita, but this first stage of the quest completely baffles Nobita.
"The first stage of the main quest involves slaying a level 99 ancient red dragon to obtain the [Blood of Immortality] and receiving a Saint-tier treasure chest as a reward. Completing this quest will unlock the second stage of the quest."
Looking at the content of the first task prompted by the system, Da Xiong felt that the system must have taken the wrong medicine, otherwise it wouldn't have issued a task that was basically impossible to complete right away.
Nobita's team, including Jatos who was still below the Jianmu tree and had not yet returned, only had four people in total, and their overall strength was struggling at around level 10 or 20.
Even someone as powerful as Nobita, who possessed four divine artifacts, only had personal attributes at just over level 80, still a long way from level 99. Therefore, Nobita was completely dumbfounded when he saw this first stage of the mission.
"Da Xiong, we simply can't complete the first phase of the main quest issued by the system."
Doraemon, who shares a mission system with Nobita, was secretly delighted after receiving a system notification that he had collected all three of the Dream Swordsmen's equipment. He then saw the first phase of the mission released by the system. When Doraemon saw the content, his expression was exactly the same as Nobita's; both of them were surprised by the first phase of the mission released by the system.
"Well, with our current strength, we simply can't kill this level 99 red dragon. But the system shouldn't give us a mission that's guaranteed to kill us. There must be some details we don't know about. This is only the first step. There should be other missions to follow, and we should be able to complete them."
Nobita knew that a normal game system wouldn't have a mission that meant certain death. This wasn't the God Space from his previous life, where the protagonist was tormented to death. Since it was a game, there must be a way to complete it. Although the level 99 ancient red dragon was intimidating, it must have weaknesses and a correct way to kill it. Otherwise, no matter how many people went to slay the dragon, they wouldn't be enough to defeat it.
"Never mind, since the initial mission of the Three Musketeers of Dreams has already been completed, let's accept the high-level treasure chest from the system first. There's always a way out, maybe we'll succeed?"
Thinking about the first stage of the system's mission, Nobita couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. But headaches aside, he still had to complete the next mission step by step. With that thought, Nobita's mindset gradually calmed down, and he casually opened the treasure chest that the system had placed in his backpack.
"Ding! Congratulations to the player for opening a high-level treasure chest and obtaining the high-level skill [Instant Teleportation]!"
Opening the dark gold treasure chest in his backpack, accompanied by a system notification sound, a gleaming gold-bound skill book was quietly placed inside. Da Xiong couldn't help but be delighted as he looked at the four elegant characters on the skill book.
"Instant teleportation!"
Nobita eagerly tapped the cover of the skill book to check the attributes of the teleportation skill.
Instant teleportation
Advanced movement skills
Attribute: A displacement skill that allows you to change your location by communicating with spatial elements through mental power. You can move freely within a range of 100 units using this skill.
0 ······Requesting flowers····· ·····
Note: This skill is based on the consumption of mental energy. Players currently have 5 uses of this skill based on their mental energy.
Instant teleportation truly lives up to its name. Da Xiong felt that opening the high-level treasure chests from this mission was totally worth it. If used well, the instant teleportation skill can turn you into an all-around self-propelled turret, allowing you to bombard enemies however you want.
However, this skill is different from other skills; it cannot be used without limit. With Nobita's current mental strength, he can only use it 5 times. After 5 times, it will be useless and cannot be used anymore.
Overall, while the teleportation skill is powerful, its limitation in terms of mental energy consumption makes it somewhat useless. It can only be used a few times and cannot be fully converted into an offensive skill, so it can only be used as a last resort for escaping.
......... ........ 0
Although the teleportation skill is a bit useless, it's better to have it than not. With that thought, Nobita clapped his hands, and the teleportation skill book lying in his backpack instantly turned into specks of golden light and merged into Nobita's body.
"Ding! The advanced movement skill [Instant Teleport] has been upgraded to the holy-level movement skill [Instant Flash]."
To Nobita's surprise, the moment he tapped the skill book and acquired the skill, the [Instant Teleport] skill was upgraded.
Following the system's notification, Nobita immediately clicked on the upgraded skill attributes. Upon seeing the attribute explanations for the skills, Nobita couldn't help but beam with joy.
[Instant Flash]
Saint-level movement skill
Attribute: A displacement skill that allows you to communicate with spatial elements through mental power to change your location. Using this skill, you can move freely within 100 units, ignore resource consumption, and use it infinitely.
-------------------------------------------------- ---
Let me add a skill I forgot to mention after the artifact upgraded the skill:
Eye of Chaos
Saint-level Detection Technique
Attribute: Can detect all attributes and skills of friendly and enemy units within 100 units of the host, with a chance to discover enemy weaknesses and fatal flaws. The maximum level difference is 30 levels.
Chapter Twenty-One: Infinite Artifacts (Final)
[Instant Flash]
Saint-level movement skill
Attribute: A displacement skill that allows you to communicate with spatial elements through mental power to change your location. Using this skill, you can move freely within 100 units, ignore resource consumption, and use it infinitely.
To Nobita's surprise, as soon as he finished using the skill book from the treasure chest, his artifact raised the skill level by a tier, instantly making the somewhat useless skill [Instant Teleport] seem incredibly powerful.
After the skill [Instant Teleport] is upgraded to [Instant Flash], the most obvious change is that this skill is basically not based on the consumption of mental energy and can be used an unlimited number of times. This makes it possible for Nobita to use the Instant Teleport skill to become a self-propelled turret on the battlefield.
Looking at the skill bar, which had been completely upgraded to Saint-level and God-level, Da Xiong thought about it for a moment and realized that Bai Long's three divine artifacts were truly heaven-defying.
Even if you unlock the worst or most useless skills in the future, with the help of the artifact, you can improve and enhance your skills, and a bunch of high-level Saint-level skills will crush others by more than a little bit.
With a touch of joy, after looking through his impressive skill list from top to bottom, Da Xiong became even more certain that even if he couldn't kill the red dragon in the first stage of the dragon-slaying quest, he could at least make it suffer a significant loss.
After checking his skill bar and organizing his equipment, Da Xiong looked at the enormous palace in front of him. A powerful spiritual force emanated from him and surrounded the palace, gradually spreading across the entire platform on the Jianmu tree, scanning every corner of the Jianmu tree layer by layer.
"Sigh, it seems there's really nothing left on this Jianmu platform. What a pity."
Adhering to the principle of not leaving the enemy even a single benefit within three feet of the melon patch, Nobita repeatedly used his mental power to scan every corner inside and outside the palace on this Jianmu platform, not missing a single crack, but unfortunately he found nothing. It can be said that Nobita and Doraemon have truly emptied this place out.
"Doraemon, the commotion caused by the gadget has been going on for a while now. In case anyone else notices, let's quickly pack up and leave this place immediately."
The commotion caused by the White Dragon's three artifacts on the Creation Tree could be seen from at least several thousand miles away. Now that everything on the platform has been taken, it's the perfect time to move. If we're too late and get stopped by the boss who's coming here, then the game is over.
"Alright, now is the perfect time to leave. Let's take Jatos with us when we go. It's not safe for him to be alone on the Jianmu tree."
After listening to Nobita's words, Doraemon nodded, took out two bamboo copters from his pocket and handed one to Suneo. He quickly put the other on his head and immediately flew towards the location below the Jianmu tree.
Seeing that Doraemon and Suneo had already flown out of the palace on the Jianmu tree, Nobita mustered his mental strength to support his body and immediately chased after them. It has to be said that under the effect of the artifact, his originally high-level mental strength had become saint-level. The feeling of flying was like a sparrow turning into an eagle, fast and stable. Before the feeling of weightlessness even began, he had already flown to the tree branch in front of Jatos.
Meanwhile, Jatos, who had just woken up, immediately found himself lying on the branches of the Jianmu tree without any armor. A cold wind blew by, and his whole body was shivering.
To Jatos' surprise, he was about to attack Nobita, but for some unknown reason, in that instant, he lost consciousness completely under a green light. After that, he ended up in this situation where his testicles would light up when the wind blew, which left Jatos very puzzled.
However, Jatos didn't understand how he fainted, but he knew that he had been thoroughly beaten up by Nobita and his group. This made Jatos, who had defeated countless enemies on the treasure hunt, extremely impressed. The strong are the strong. In this world, as long as you can defeat your enemies, no matter what method you use, it is worthy of recognition.
Sure enough, Nobita and Doraemon flew up to him one after the other, and Giatos, wearing only white shorts, stood on the Jianmu tree with a smile on his face to greet the three of them.
"Revered hero, please tell me your great name. Jatos, who lives in this world, has the utmost respect for men stronger than myself. Please allow me to follow in your footsteps, grant me the opportunity to behold your unparalleled glory..."
Giatos stood straight in front of Nobita and Doraemon, staring sincerely into Nobita's eyes as he spoke.
Nobita, feeling extremely uncomfortable under Jatos's beady eyes, was quite helpless. Was the character relationship setting in this game such that all problems could be solved by simply beating someone up? Then recruiting followers would be far too easy.
However, since Jatos has already delivered himself to our doorstep, Nobita has no reason to refuse. Although his image as Gian is a bit disgusting, he is a human-shaped buff enhancer that is really needed to complete the missions of the entire Dream Three Musketeers series.
"Alright, I'll give you the chance to follow me, but I must tell you that you were defeated by me not because of your own strength, but because of your name, Jatos."
Since Da Xiong already had the intention of recruiting Jatos into the team, he felt that the Western name Jatos was a bit out of place and looked extremely low-class compared to the high-class name of the entire Nobi team. So Da Xiong stood in front of Jatos and earnestly explained to him.
"Hmm, they lost because of my name, Jatos. What's wrong with my name?"
Listening to Nobita's explanation, Jatos was very puzzled. Could it be that there was something wrong with his name that caused him to suddenly faint during the battle?
"Of course, how about this, you and 5.5 read your name to me, Jatos, it's like 'fake, stupid, stupid, and dead,' all depressing words, how can you win a battle? Well then, I think your temperament and image are quite good, I'll give you a free name today, how about Nobita Gian?"
Seeing Jatos's bewildered expression as he gradually took the bait, Nobita chuckled and began explaining the meaning behind Jatos's name, while also casually mentioning the name Fat Tiger.
"Jatos, in our place, 'Fat Tiger' is a title for the strong. Only those with great strength can use this name. As for the name 'Fat Tiger,' we have a proverb about it. Listen to this: 'Is it that I, Fat Tiger, can't lift a sword anymore, or is it that you, Suneo, are getting too cocky?' How imposing!"
Chapter Twenty-Two: Goodbye Ashley
“Jatos, in our place, Gian is the name of a strong person. Only those with great strength can use this name. As for the name Gian, we have a proverb about it. Listen to it: ‘Is it that I, Gian, can’t lift a knife anymore, or is it that you, Suneo, are getting too cocky?’ How domineering.”
Nobita patiently explained the origin of the name Gian to Giatos. When he mentioned the proverb associated with the name, Suneo, who was standing behind Doraemon, suddenly froze. He thought to himself, "No wonder Nobita named Giatos Gian. He was already setting a trap for him." Thinking of this, Suneo's thin body trembled.
"Hey, Suneo, what's wrong? Why is your body trembling?"
When introducing the name Gian to Jatos, out of a mischievous sense of humor, he told a joke he had made about Gian and Suneo online in his previous life. Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Suneo sensed something was wrong. It seems that the names Gian and Suneo are indeed entangled by fate.
"No, it's nothing. Nobita-sama gave Giatos a very good name. The name Gian sounds very imposing. Nobita-sama truly deserves to be called a world-class strongman. Not only is he powerful, but his literary cultivation is also enough to be praised throughout the entire continent. Suneo admires you immensely. Praise you, great Nobita-sama."
If Gian and Suneo are destined best buddies, then in any world, Suneo's god-like flattery is definitely a racial talent; he can flatter anyone, no matter how awkward the situation.
"That's good. Jatos likes this name, and you think it's okay too. From now on, Jatos will be called Fat Tiger. Since you're all in the same team, you should love each other and help each other improve, hahaha."
Nobita patted Suneo on the shoulder, speaking in a serious tone, as if he had high hopes for the relationship between Suneo and Gian.
"Da Xiong, it's getting late. Let's leave here quickly. The first step of the mission, eliminating the ancient red dragon, is still waiting for us."
Seeing that Nobita had won over Gian and Suneo, and that the relationship between the three Dream Swordsmen was gradually becoming harmonious, Doraemon felt that with this team, they might be able to defeat the big boss and win the game that afternoon.
"Alright, let's leave Jianmu now. Next, we need to find the location of the Red Dragon and complete the first part of the main quest. Oh, by the way, Fatty Tiger, here's your armor and sword back, but the cloak is for your own use. I'll find you a suitable one later."
While Nobita teased Gian and Suneo, he didn't forget his purpose in coming to this game. Moreover, there was a main quest that was practically impossible to complete waiting for them to overcome. Time was of the essence. With that in mind, Nobita put away his playful expression, handed Gian the equipment he had already changed out of in his backpack, and said seriously.
"Thank you for your generosity, Lord Nobita. Although I don't know what the main quest you're talking about is, are you looking for the Ancient Red Dragon? I know where the Ancient Red Dragon is!"
Gian, who was excitedly putting away Nobita's equipment, heard the words "ancient red dragon" in Nobita and Doraemon's conversation. This reminded Gian of a legend about an ancient red dragon from his travels.
"What? You actually know where the ancient red dragon is?"
