Chapter 10: White Stone Light! Hidden Quest!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
His goal in coming here was to find this plant material called the white stone root!
To be honest, this was also his first time collecting this plant material.
In the forum in his previous life, someone had triggered a hidden quest by collecting the white stone root, and raised their level by more than 10 levels in one go!
According to what he knew, as long as he collected 100 stalks of this black-iron tier plant material, he would be able to obtain a black-iron tier healing skill called “Whitestone Light”.
However, the healing skill wasn’t what was important. Instead, once a player obtained this skill, they would be able to trigger a hidden quest from the village chief!
Once the player triggered said hidden quest, they would need to use this skill to treat the village chief’s daughter’s illness.
The village chief’s daughter had contracted a disease called ‘Blackstone Spot’. Once the sickness came on, she would eventually turn into a black stone statue. The only thing that could save her was a combination of the consumption of white stone root, as well as the casting of Whitestone Light to dispel it!
Once the daughter was healed, every stalk of white stone root that the player had would provide them with 100 EXP!
In other words, as long as they collected enough white stone roots, logically speaking, they could even level up to level 100 in one go with the completion of the quest!
However, that would take a lot of time, so Jiang Bai didn’t even think of it as an option.
After all, getting to level 10 was easy. If he wanted to advance beyond level 10, or even level 100, then the number of white stone roots that he would need would be astronomical!
If he did that, he would be putting the cart before the horse.
As such, he would at most be picking the number of white stone roots that he needed to level up to level 10.
......
After confirming that this was indeed the white stone roots he needed, Jiang Bai did not stop. He quickly called Su Muxue over to start gathering the white stone roots as well.
He took the lead and started gathering.
Looking at Jiang Bai who was walking around in the gravel land and gathering the white stone roots, Su Muxue didn’t say any nonsense as she followed him and started to do the same.
Just as Jiang Bai was making his preparations to trigger the hidden quest, the players in novice village no.9257, or even the whole world, were doing their best to level up to level 10 and obtain the purple guild token.
Some players were killing monsters alone, but most of them formed teams to carry out the quest.
This was especially so for the top forces from all over the world.
They were using all sorts of means to complete the novice village quest, just so that their people could be the first to leave the novice village and obtain the purple guild token!
In a certain novice village, 40 to 50 players were surrounding a large wild boar.
The surrounding players continued to wear down the monster’s HP, and it wasn’t until the large wild boar was almost out of HP that a warrior player walked out from the crowd and killed the large wild boar with a chop.
Following the disappearance of the wild boar, the player leveled up to level 4.
The equipment on his body was the same as that of a normal player, but the surrounding players were obviously trying to curry favor with him.
As the wild boar disappeared, the surrounding players began to discuss about it.
“F*ck! Isn’t this game too difficult?!”
“We have more than 40 on our team, and we’ve already killed more than 30 wild boars, yet we have only been able to raise one person to level 4?”
“How much EXP will we need to level up by even one level later?!”
Hearing the subdued discussions of the surrounding players, the warrior class player wore an arrogant expression, not taking heed of what was being said by them.
Right now, he only wanted to level up to level 10 as soon as possible!
That way, he would be able to be the first to establish a guild!
At the same time, similar scenes were playing out in the various novice villages.
Novice village No.9257.
.
“Quick! Surround it! Work harder and find wild boar monsters for me to kill! If I can be the first to reach level 10 today and get the purple guild token, everyone present can go to the Lion Guild and get 10,000 dollars!”
“10,000!!!”
“F*ck! I can get 10,000 just by helping him advance to level 10? Isn’t this just a game? Even if you’re rich, you can’t spend the money like this!”
“Long live young master Li!”
“Brothers, come on! Young Master Li has spoken. Those who want to make money will have to work hard!”
Following young master Li’s words, the people present instantly became excited. They scrambled to look for wild boars everywhere.
Not long after, young master Li’s level rose to level 6, only four levels away from level 10.
During this time, they happened to find Jiang Bai and Su Muxue who were still in the gravel field on one side of the bamboo forest. Everyone scoffed.
“This is hilarious. To think someone is still exploring this place. Do they really think that there’s a hidden quest here that they can trigger?”
“I’ve already explored this place. Other than the gravel, there’s nothing else. I do wonder what these people are expecting.”
“Hahaha, ignore these two idiots. It’s more important to help young master Li find wild boars. If we’re negligent, let alone 10,000 yuan, I might even suffer a bad end!”
“Tch! You can’t say that. Didn’t you see that there’s a girl over there? Speaking of which, she’s so pretty. Could she be that brat’s girlfriend? It’s such a pity for her to be with such a brat!”
“...”
Then, these few players left.
Jiang Bai was still doing his best, working hard in the gravel land!

As Jiang Bai continued, it did not take long for him to gather 100 stalks of white stone root!
[Ding! Congratulations to player “Maise the God” for gathering 100 stalks of the white stone root. You have obtained the black-iron tier skill “Whitestone Light”.]
“Whitestone Light! I didn’t expect to have gathered 100 white stone roots already!” Jiang Bai was a little surprised.
After all, it had only been half an hour since they had started.
At this moment, Su Muxue, who was beside him, also awakened the skill.
She was very happy. Ever since she had started playing games, she had always been playing the role of the healer professionally.
Now that she had unexpectedly obtained a healing skill for free, she was immediately pleased.
For a moment, she worked even harder to gather white stone roots.
Seeing this, Jiang Bai smiled.
He also worked even harder to continue gathering the white stone roots.
Soon, two hours passed, and the two finally stopped gathering because they had enough to level up.
Jiang Bai had gathered 437 white stone roots, while Su Muxue had gathered 389 white stone roots.
In the process, both of them reached level 3.
Following this, Jiang Bai hurriedly left the gravel field with Su Muxue, and they rushed to the village chief’s house.
