"Alright. I understand now. I'm willing to take this quest! How much are you going to give me if I do this job? How many people are going to a.s.sist me? This is a really huge project! I don't think I can do it alone!"
"I need you to do it alone! I will not give you any Spiritual Stones or a.s.sign anyone to help you! And you have a time limit to complete this quest! You must complete this quest within a month! Failing to do so will result in failing the quest!"
"What? No Spiritual Stones and no help?! And there is a one month time limit? My lord, are you kidding me? I will need more than a month to travel to earth even with the fastest s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p, let alone fixing the portal with such a short amount of time!"
"I'm not kidding you! This is supposed to be a challenging quest! If I provide you with resources and manpower and set no time limit, I can ask anyone to do it! So, why should I ask you?"
With a frown on his face, Chen Xiaobei realized that the overlord was not a person that was easy to deal with. Clearly, this quest was harder than asking him to rescue Linghu Shuang. Apart from that, there was actually a hidden risk in this quest.
"My lord, how are you planning to deal with Lu Gang and the rest of the South Town Star Temple members?"
"You know that the portal is not functioning right now! Lu Gang and the rest of them are forced to stay on earth. There's nothing I can do about them!"
"So, are you trying to ask me to fix the portal and deal with Lu Gang and the gang after that?"
"The fight is unavoidable, and you know it! Lu Gang hates you a lot! He will not agree to it if he knows that you are going replace him!"
"My lord, are you trying to mess with me or test me? You know that a huge fight will break out the moment I meet up with Lu Gang!"
"Well, what's the point for me to give you power if you can't deal with matters like this?! You will fall from the throne before you know it!"
After hearing the overlord's reason, Chen Xiaobei realized that it actually made sense to him. One should know that there were a lot of factions that tried to take over South Town Star Temple. He would need to expect trouble if he took over South Town Star Temple. However, if Chen Xiaobei managed to kill Lu Gang and the rest of them, he would be able to put fear into other factions and thus, no one would dare to mess with him!
"Alright! I willm do my best then! I really hope that I can finish this quest!"
"Great! I know that you are one worthy man! Time is of the essence! I'm not going to keep you here! I hope that I can hear good news after one month!"
"Hold on! I have one more thing that I want to ask. It's about the elite hunting compet.i.tion! Though an unexpected event happened, I think that I'm worthy to be first! I would like to ask for the reward from you!"
"Are you talking about Golden Purple Echeveria Lola? I will hand it over to you personally if you manage to complete this quest one month later! It will be pointless for me to give it to you right now!"
In other words, Chen Xiaobei had to survive this quest no matter what. With him dead, the Golden Purple Echeveria Lola would be pointless to him.
"Fine! One month it is then! We will talk about it one month later!"
After that, Chen Xiaobei nodded his head and left the place. Luckily, Wenren Muyue still could live for another five months. Asking her to wait for another month should not be a problem. The moment Chen Xiaobei left the temple, he quickly contacted Linghu Shuang.
"Shuang'er, the last time, you told me that your Sifu is some master at creating dimensions, right? Is that real?"
"Of course it is real! My Sifu is the best in this line of profession!"
"Great! This is really great! When will your Sifu arrive here?"
Though Chen Xiaobei knew how to deploy a formation, he had no idea how to create or fix a dimension. Without the blueprint, Chen Xiaobei would have to rely on others to fix the portal. With the help of Linghu Shuang's Sifu, he might just be able to fix the portal within a month.
"She will arrive here later in the afternoon! What is going on?"
"Something big is going on! Where are you? I will come to you right now!"
...
At the south side of Divine Cloud's main city.
Inside an ordinary house.
Chen Xiaobei managed to locate Linghu Shuang. Together, they waited for the arrival of Linghu Shuang's Sifu.
Knock…
Knock…
Knock…
Suddenly, a series of knocking sounds could be heard from outside. Immediately, Linghu Shuang opened the door in a joyful manner.
"Big brother Chen! Let me introduce this person to you! She's my Sifu! The number one Dimension Master from Green Hill Planet, Bai Linsu!"
With a smile on her face, she held Bai Linsu's hand and walked towards Chen Xiaobei. The moment he saw the woman, he was completely taken aback. To his surprise, she was just a girl that was in her twenties. She had a fair skin and perfectly crafted facial features. She was pretty enough to make every man to fall for her. Other than her gorgeous looks, her body was extremely voluptuous as well. The curves on her were simply unreal! Clearly, she was the perfect woman that was way more attractive than Linghu Shuang! Any normal man in this universe would not be able to resist her!
Of course, Chen Xiaobei's state of mind had already gotten way better than all the other ordinary men! The thing that attracted Chen Xiaobei was not her looks and body but her temperament! She seemed extremely similar to someone that he knew.
