Chapter 184: Chapter 162: Elf Horn (6200 words)_2

"Boss, what’s the matter?" As soon as she saw Mu You, Little Ya hurried over to gossip. Lin Xue also pricked up her ears to listen carefully.

"Actually, it’s not as complicated as you think..."

Mu You had no choice but to explain the whole thing to them.

"So that’s how it is..."

After hearing this, they both looked at the mermaid with strange expressions.

"This mermaid, is her brain not quite right?" Little Ya questioned suspiciously. How had such a clueless mermaid survived to the present?

"Probably ... too confident..."

Lin Xue pondered a bit and said: "This mermaid has been living near the coast for a long time and has seen many fishermen’s nets. After violently breaking free from the nets multiple times, she may have defaulted to thinking that such nets are not dangerous. She didn’t anticipate that there would be sleeping potions..."

Mu You nodded, Lin Xue’s analysis could very well be the truth. Those lower-class fishermen could not afford to use sleeping potions.

Moreover, looking at Cola’s reaction, it was clear that this food, a product of Earth laced with feeding stimulant, had gigantic appeal to these exotic creatures. It was because of this that they were able to catch a mermaid.

The mermaid was still asleep, with no idea how long she was going to sleep. All they could do now was wait for her to wake up.

Mu You placed all their belongings and came out of the space, taking Lin Xue and Little Ya home.

He then took out three mobile phones and checked them separately.

No one had contacted him that day, except for a few messages from Zhang Yang, who had a couple of small tasks and wanted to see if he was interested in joining.

He handled the messages from Zhang Yang while simultaneously launching the game Fool.

Upon logging in, he was still next to the teleportation array under the water outside Sunset City.

Mu You first sent the Merfolk Mask and other items into the game to equip his game character. He then picked up the supplies stored next to the teleportation array and stuffed them all into his backpack.

He then rose to the surface, found a secluded spot on the shore, and took out another item: the Elf Horn!

This was the hidden relic he had snatched from the werewolves, an item that could summon the Elf Fairy. It could be used once a week, and when he first got it, there were still five and a half days of cooldown time. It had just finished cooling down by noon that day.

However, he was busy traveling by ship in the sea at that time and didn’t have time to check. Now that he had some free time, he immediately took it out and activated the horn.

[You have blown the Elf Horn.]

[The Dark Elf Queen, Fred the Exile, appears before you and issues a task.]

[Find the Sunflower: Dark Elves have lived in Dark City underground for a long time and cannot bear direct sunlight. They hope you could pick over a hundred sunflowers from Sun City, the hottest place in the Star Spirit World, under bright sunlight within a week. The sunflower would serve as sunlight for Dark City.]

[Reward: Dark Wings, a pair of fledgling demon wings. Equipping them will allow you to fly.]

"Um?"

Mu You was taken aback. Upon blowing the horn, it wasn’t the Elf Fairy that appeared as he had imagined, but a Dark Elf Queen?

Not having time to think much, he quickly pressed the Time Pocket Watch to return to a time before he had blown the horn.

He carefully recalled the text description from earlier, fetched a pen and paper, and recorded a few sentences down.

"Dark Elf, Dark City, the task is to pick flowers in Sun City..."

Mu You opened the Fool’s Forum and searched for ’Sun City’ in the world channel. The search easily returned the result: Sun City is a city near the equator in the Star Spirit World, corresponding to a place in Africa in the real world...

The equator of the Star Spirit World, is it possible to get there in a week?

Although the reward is excellent, giving him a pair of wings, it is a virtually impossible task for him. It’s too far away, and it’s absolutely impossible to get there within a week in the game. In reality, unless he knew a player in Africa, had them gather the flowers in advance, and then he flew all the way there to get them?

Not to mention, how could he trust the other party? Such a complex task, what should be the cost to them? It’s just too bothersome.

After considering it for a while, Mu You blew the horn again.

Instead of the expected Elf Fairy, a Dark Elf had shown up, which didn’t feel right to him: could there be a bunch of elven task publishers?

Indeed, what happened next confirmed his guess.

[Time reversal, you blew the Elf Horn.]

[Forest Elf High Priestess Riley the Flutist appears before you and issues a task.]

[Life Potion: Some new buds on the World Tree are suffering from a rare mutation. A high-level Life Potion is needed to be poured on them to restore their vitality. Bring back a bottle of epic grade or above Life Potion within five days.]

[Reward: Wind Walking Bow, a rare elf longbow imbued with the power of wind, capable of shooting powerful wind arrows.]

Mu You’s eyes lit up, indeed there were other elves!

Moreover, the task this time was much more normal. Only one bottle of Life Potion was required, one of the first necks potions. The difficulty lay in that it needed to be an ’epic grade’ or above potion.

He was yet to successfully brew an epic-grade magic potion, though, of course, it was possible if he was willing to use some Fairy Wine.

However, he didn’t really need the reward for this task. He already had a Mithril Bow, which was sufficient for daily use. Having another high-quality bow would not improve his abilities significantly.
