Bald Monk in the City - Chapter 51

Chapter 51: Nightmare In The Depths Of The Ruins

…

Sun Zhongzhen frowned and carefully read the ancient texts he translated. The more he read, the deeper his frown.

He took out an old book from the side, carefully analyzing the diagram on it. His face became redder and redder.

“It isn’t a tattoo, it definitely isn’t!”

Sun Zhongzhen placed down the ancient book and made several rounds around the side hall emotionally. In his mouth, he was muttering.

“No, I have to tell Senior Brother!”

Sun Zhongzhen trembled as he took out his phone. He scrolled for a long time before he was able to find that number that he hadn’t contacted in a long time.

“Hello, is this Senior Brother?”

Sun Zhongzhen’s voice was trembling.

“En, Zhen?!”

An old voice could be heard from the phone.

“It is me!”

Sun Zhongzhen choked up a bit, but spoke after calming himself down.

“Senior Brother, I saw a person today, there was a Black Cow Mark on his forehead. I followed the books that Master left us and found that there is a high chance it is the bloodline of Nine Li. If the ancient bloodline can still be activated, then there will definitely be someone who can pull Zhenchun out of its sheath!”

“You are still so stubborn! Why are you so stubborn, what weird and mystical things are there even in our world today… Even that monk who shocked the world and died at 100… Why do you even chase such dreams? So what if Zhenchun is able to be pulled out of its sheath? Do you still not understand, this is not our time.”

Because he was a little helpless, the voice on the phone was a little impatient. He paused, calmed himself a little, and then said, “You are an only child and about to be 40. You should be thinking about your future, your Junior Sister and I have been worried about you. Don’t end up like Master. Place down the scriptures, go out and take walks. Stop wasting your life in that old temple.”

“No, it is different! It is really different!”

Sun Zhongzhen’s was trembling. He thought about something and asked uneasily,

“Junior… Junior Sister, is she okay?”

“Junior Sister is great, do you want to talk to her?”

“No! No! I have a night class to go to, I will leave first!

With a pained expression, Sun Zhongzhen hung up.

After keeping silent for a long while, he walked to the cabinet in the corner of the side hall.

Maybe because it hadn’t been wiped for a long time, it was covered in dust.

Sun Zhongzhen trembled and opened the door of the cabinet. He took out an old copper mirror that was covered in dust.

Sun Zhongzhen touched the copper mirror and the layer of dust on it, which reflected his blurry image.

“Master, if there really are no gods in this world, then why was I given all these!”

Sun Zhongzhen hugged the copper mirror and teared up…

With quick footsteps, Yi Qiu returned home.

He obtained huge gains this time climbing the mountain, all sorts of gains…

He touched his bald head and was prepared to find a way to activate his Six Arms bloodline ability.

One more arm would be a huge upgrade on his attack and defense.

As for the change in appearance, Yi Qiu didn’t care much about it.

The bloodline ability of Six Arms needed many attack or regeneration related bloodline materials.

He had exchanged for 5 of the quick recovery ones using the Hell Cowhead Monster bloodline material, and he needed 1 more heavy attack one.

The cooldown of the random dungeon was over, but Yi Qiu predicted that there was a very low chance to use the dungeon to get it.

After all, creatures that knew heavy strikes wouldn’t be weak, so there wouldn’t be a high chance of them appearing in a Level 5 dungeon.

Yi Qiu started to check the new medium-sized battle quest on the forums.

Orochi could definitely drop heavy attack bloodline materials, but Yi Qiu predicted that he wouldn’t be able to take them down.

After checking for a long time, all quests were much higher than his level, and the quests in his quest bar were all grey, so he had to check them, one by one.

It was fortunate that although there were only 4 Integrated Network players, the number of quests on the forums was based on a standard plane.

If one’s mind could take it, one could spend the whole day in battle maps.

However, that was not practical. It was like how libraries had enough knowledge for one to study for the rest of one’s life. You could stay in there for a whole day to study, to grow and then become a CEO, and then marry… Tsk, become a pillar of a country.

But if one could spend the whole day in, most were couples and people trying to become couples.

Yi Qiu wasn’t such a person and he didn’t want to force himself to become such a person.

Saviors were busy leveling up to save the world. He didn’t need to do that, he just needed to climb up step by step to enjoy a brilliant life…

There were so many saviors in the world and it didn’t lack one called Yi Qiu.

…

…

…

…

After searching for a long time, Yi Qiu finally found a suitable quest: Nightmare in the depths of the ruins.

A weird sound spread out from the depths of the ruins. It was said that someone saw a huge spider. One was very curious about what kind of charming attributes this rare living being had. Adventurer, please bring back the poison sack of a giant spider.

“Intense poison was the sweetest poison – Unnamed Alchemist.

Recommended Level: 7 (People lower than 7 can enter too)

Battle Size: Medium

Battle Entrance Fees: 250 (Original price of 500)

Battle victory requirements: Satisfy alchemist requirements or make it such that he no longer has such a need.

Requirements to exit the battle: Reach battle success requirements or stay in the map for 5 days, the longest stay is 10 natural days.”

Recommended level of 7, this meant that the challenge level of the giant spider should be around 7 and normally it wouldn’t exceed it.

Unless Yi Qiu was able to activate an even tougher quest in the battle map, no matter what, even if he couldn’t complete it, it was okay. Yi Qiu just needed to get a portion of heavy attack bloodline material.

The giant spider would drop it, that was something Yi Qiu found out while searching the Integrated Network Newbie Manual.

He selected the quest but he wasn’t prepared to do it today.

Although he was in good condition, he needed to sleep and be energized.

His dinner was juicy pork chops that he hadn’t finished. Only now did Yi Qiu recall that he lacked food.

But this had to come after the giant spider. After all, his remaining juicy pork chops could last for several days.

As he needed to spend at least 5 days on the battle map, Yi Qiu bought a box of noodles and a few bags of biscuits. Since he was near the shop, he would probably get it tomorrow.

While eating the juicy pork chops, that Dragon-Li ran came over once more.

Yi Qiu looked around and noticed that there were things on the clothing rack. It seemed like a girl was living there.

He touched his bald head and retracted his gaze.

“Miao?”

Yi Qiu touched his bald head and then took out juicy pork chops which he placed beside the cat.

“In the future, you will definitely crush my clothing rack.”

Yi Qiu ate while saying to the cat.

“Miao?”
