Chapter 185 A Handsome Man

The dragon-slaying task was taken. Curious, Li Qingshan watched and saw the centaur orc walking in for the interview.

Li Qingshan shook his head. 3,000 points were already a lot, the most he’d seen so far.

He had wanted to try it, but since someone else got it first, he had no choice but to move on.

He continued to observe.

He spent half the day on the first floor without finding any good tasks, and the only tempting one already taken.

Then he headed to the second floor.

This level was for experts at the Realm Master level.

There were far fewer people here than on the first floor, so it was less crowded and allowed for more freedom of movement.

The tasks here also appeared on the walls, flickering one by one. There weren’t as many, but each one was top-notch.

[Catching a phoenix, 10,000 points!]

Li Qingshan saw a very eye-catching task flashing on the task wall. Many Realm Master-level experts were looking at it, but no one made a move.

Everyone was waiting.

Curious, Li Qingshan asked a handsome Realm Master next to him, “This task offers so many points, why hasn’t anyone taken it?”

The handsome Realm Master looked curiously at Li Qingshan. He didn’t expect such a straightforward question from Li Qingshan, which made him slightly uncomfortable, but since Li Qingshan asked, he couldn’t ignore it.

“The points are many, but the risk is high. Phoenixes are very violent and belong to the divine beast level, not just any low-level divine beast. Blood phoenixes have appeared on the Cosmic Battlefield before, and no one has confidence against them,” the handsome man answered.

Blood phoenix? Low-level divine beast?

Li Qingshan was intrigued by these new terms. Although he was new to the Cosmic Battlefield, he understood that divine beasts were much more powerful than ordinary fierce beasts.

And even among divine beasts, there were different ranks. Lower divine beasts were probably the weakest of divine beasts.

But even the weakest divine beasts weren’t something ordinary people could contend with.

“Phoenixes are divine beasts, so does that mean the dragon-slaying task on the first floor is also related to a divine beast?” Li Qingshan suddenly thought.

These thoughts quickly passed, and he looked back at the handsome man, continuing to ask, “Can this task be taken by several people together?”

“10,000 points seem okay, but that’s relative to one person. If five people share, that’s only two thousand points each, and with the risk of being devoured or killed by a phoenix, no one wants to do it. They’d rather take safer tasks for two thousand points,” the handsome man replied more fluently this time. For some reason, despite just meeting Li Qingshan, he felt a sense of closeness, and Li Qingshan’s straightforward questions made him want to talk.

Li Qingshan understood now. The task had high profits, but the risks were equally high.

So, everyone was just observing.

“I’m Li Qingshan. How do I address you, handsome man?” Li Qingshan suddenly asked, planning to befriend this handsome man and learn more about the Cosmic Battlefield through him.

“Handsome man…” The handsome man looked at Li Qingshan oddly.

“You look like a woman but are obviously a man. Calling you handsome isn’t wrong,” Li Qingshan said and pointed at the man’s delicate face.

“You can keep calling me handsome man. I like it. As for my name, I’ll keep it to myself for now,” the man smiled and accepted the nickname.

“Alright, have you been here long?” Li Qingshan asked curiously.

“Sorry, I’m just like you, new to this Floating City,” the man shook his head.

“How did you know I was new?” Li Qingshan asked, surprised.

“It’s obvious. If you were experienced, you wouldn’t be asking me. From your questions, I can tell you’re not only new to Floating City but also the Cosmic Battlefield. You have a lot to learn and want to ask me,” the man analyzed with a smile.

“Smart,” Li Qingshan said, surprised, then put his arm around the man’s shoulder and led him to a nearby table.

“Come, since you’ve figured it out, I won’t hide it. Sit down, have a drink, and enlighten me,” Li Qingshan said.

The handsome man frowned slightly as Li Qingshan put his arm around his shoulder, but hearing his words, he thought for a moment and decided to go along with it, sitting down as Li Qingshan pressed him.

“What do you like to drink? My treat,” Li Qingshan said generously.

The Mission Hall not only offered tasks but also served drinks, with staff ready to assist.

“Are you sure you’re treating?” the man asked calmly.

“Yes, tell me, what do you want?” Li Qingshan insisted.

The man waved lightly, and immediately a bunny-eared girl came over. She had a graceful figure, snow-white skin, rosy cheeks, and a pair of pink bunny ears on her head. She asked softly, “What would you two like?”

“Two cups of dragon blood tea,” the man ordered.

The bunny-eared girl nodded with a bright smile and said, “Sure, I’ll bring it right away.”

After she left, Li Qingshan looked at the man in surprise. “Dragon blood?”

“It’s dragon’s blood essence, mixed with many other things, brewed into tea. It tastes great and strengthens your body,” the man explained.

Li Qingshan was intrigued. It must be expensive, and he only had two thousand points.

But seeing the man’s expression, it didn’t seem unaffordable.

Li Qingshan didn’t show his concern and continued chatting.

“Your guess was right. This is my first time in the Cosmic Battlefield and Floating City. I don’t know much. Since we met by chance, please guide me,” Li Qingshan humbly asked.

“What kind of guidance are you seeking?” the man asked.

“How can I earn more points in the Cosmic Battlefield, and where can I train? I don’t want to fight for dominance, just to improve my strength,” Li Qingshan said.

He didn’t care about the conflicts among the Six Equal Universes or the rewards for top point earners. Those were too far off for him.

He just wanted to improve in the Cosmic Battlefield, grow quickly in these five thousand years, and then, when the Cosmic Battlefield ended, bring Little Nine and others to the Six Equal Universes.

“You want to improve your strength quickly?” The man scrutinized Li Qingshan.

“Yes!” Li Qingshan nodded.

“It’s not hard. To earn many points, don’t take tasks here. These tasks are set by the people behind Floating City. They’re merchants who seek profit, so they won’t give many points. For example, the phoenix-hunting task sounds ridiculous, offering only ten thousand points. A phoenix could fetch hundreds of thousands of points if sold,” the man said bluntly.

Li Qingshan realized that if he caught a phoenix, why not sell it himself?

“Then they aren’t afraid that task-takers will sell the phoenix?” Li Qingshan asked curiously.

“They think these people have no other channels and can only come to Floating City to trade,” the handsome man explained.
