Liu Ming no longer felt thrilled when he heard the other players’ comments. Instead, he calmly walked towards the panel where he would receive village quests.

Unlike the panels where repetitive quests almost filled their entirety, only three village quests appeared in front of Liu Ming.

[Out-of-village Quest (Simple): Adventurer, please meet up with the Carron Trade Union’s convoy in two hour’s time and follow the convoy to Lotter City.]

[Quest Reward: You can learn two Green Profession Skills after a successful profession transfer.]

[Out-of-village Quest (Normal): Adventurer, please go to the Guild’s front desk to collect the letter that is to be sent to Lotter City and deliver it to Lotter City safely.

[Quest Reward: Upon success, you can learn two Blue Profession Skills and obtain a Profession Talent that is definitely above Grade-C when drawing Profession Talents.]

[Out-of-village Quest (Difficult): Adventurer, please escort the merchant, Gillen, and his family to Lotter City.]

[Quest Reward: Upon success, you can learn two Purple Profession Skills and obtain a Profession Talent that is definitely above Grade-B when drawing Profession Talents.]

Of the three Out-of-village quests, or rather, of all the First-transfer quests, the simplest one was the Simple Quest, where he would definitely reach Lotter City by following the convoy.

On the other hand, the Normal Quest would require him to deliver the letter alone. As long as the player did not die on their own, there would basically be no chance of failing the quest.

The Difficult Quest was truly difficult. When escorting a merchant to the main city, one would almost inevitably encounter some Bandits that would block their way, as well as various troubles. However, Liu Ming gave it some thought and chose to do the Difficult Quest nonetheless.

It was purely because Liu Ming could rely on the Blessing Of Lady Luck’s enhancement to get a higher-grade Profession Talent during the ballot. The two Purple Skills that he could choose were also rare rewards.

After all, there were hundreds of Purple Skills in God Domain’s system, as well as tens of thousands of other Profession Skills. In this situation, Liu Ming was not certain that every Skill Book that dropped would be one that he wanted, even if he had the Blessing Of Lady Luck and could often obtain some Purple Skill Books.

Besides, Liu Ming’s Stats had increased by almost 50% after changing into the Level 10 equipment.

In such a situation, probably nobody would be able to complete the Difficult Out-of-village Quest if Liu Ming still couldn’t complete the quest.

The First-transfer Out-of-village Quest itself was already a benefit to the player. It naturally could not be a First-Promotion quest.

Hence, Liu Ming resolutely chose the Difficult Quest.

[Adventurer, you have chosen the Difficult Out-of-village Quest. Please go to the north of the village as soon as possible to meet up with Gillen and his family. If you do not arrive at the designated location within 30 minutes, it will be considered a mission failure.]

[After a failed mission, you will not be allowed to take on more Out-of-village quests within 24 hours.]

After seeing the mission information, Liu Ming immediately walked out of the Adventurers Guild and headed to the north of the village. After all, the punishment for failing a mission was rather severe.

Not being able to take on an Out-of-village quest for 24 hours would mean that failing the quest would directly lead to a day of doing nothing.

Liu Ming reckoned that even the first-tier players would take at least four to five days to advance to Level 10. After all, the required EXP for Levels 1 to 5 was still fine, but the required EXP for each level after Level 5 was several-fold more than the one preceding it. However, this was not a reason for Liu Ming to waste a day in the novice village, no matter how much time he had.

…

As soon as Liu Ming reached the north of the village, he saw a large carriage parked at the exit.

The large carriage was not considered luxurious, but one would be able to tell that it was not something the poor could afford with one glance.

The two horses pulling the carriage were also two exceptionally gallant stallions.

Liu Ming instantly frowned slightly when he saw this.

Riding such a carriage out to a faraway place was akin to telling the bandits they were affluent and were asking to be robbed!

This greatly increased the difficulty of the quest that was already challenging in the first place.

At this moment, a short, chubby middle-aged man emerged from the carriage. When he saw Liu Ming, he beamed with joy and said, “You must be the adventurer who came to escort my family and me, aren’t you? Until we reach Lotter City, the safety of my family and I is in your hands.”

The middle-aged man—who was the merchant, Gillen—ducked back into the carriage.

The silly bunch of NPCs clearly not only hired Liu Ming alone as an escort but also planned to have Liu Ming work part-time as a carriage driver.

Liu Ming had to do two jobs for a single quest reward. How could there be such a good deal? Hence, Liu Ming indifferently said, “Mr. Gillen, I don’t think we can leave today.”

Upon hearing Liu Ming’s words, the merchant, Gillen, hurriedly came out of the carriage and said to Liu Ming, “If you dare to abort the task, I will go to the Adventurers Guild and lodge a complaint against you.”

Upon hearing this, Liu Ming said nonchalantly, “I will merely be banned from leaving the village for a day. I can afford to wait a day. However, I’m afraid it’d be hard for you to find someone else to accept this task.”

After hearing Liu Ming’s words, Gillen’s face turned red, and after a long while, he finally asked, “What do you want?”

Gillen was not a fool. He knew that Liu Ming was speaking the truth. However, he had a greedy nature and naturally would not let go of any opportunity to exploit others despite that.

Gillen was both ashamed and angry to have his intentions exposed by Liu Ming.

Faced with Gillen’s question, Liu Ming answered calmly. “You’re just hiring me as an escort. If there are any bandits, I’ll take care of everything. As for the other matters, you can either hire someone else or do it yourself.”

Gillen was somewhat speechless after hearing Liu Ming’s words. After a while, he nodded at Liu Ming helplessly like a deflated balloon. “Alright, I’ll drive the carriage myself.”

At this moment, Liu Ming walked towards the carriage and sat beside Gillen.

…

The horses pulling the carriage galloped on the road, soon moving away from the novice village.

In the world of magic, horses were much faster than the so-called steeds in the real world, even if they did not have the blood of magical beasts.

Gillen soon arrived in a valley in the carriage.

The moment the carriage arrived at the valley, two groups of evil-looking existences—both dressed differently—appeared from both ends of the valley, blocking the carriage.

As they formed a circle around the carriage, Liu Ming finally saw the group of bandits’ information bars.
