Rolling Mario also persuaded, “Alright, enough. We only lost one match. We still have a chance.”

“Hmph!” Even though Mo Xiaobei was very angry, she still listened to Rolling Mario. After she was forced to keep quiet, she snorted and sat back down to wait for the next match.

Quan Zhen Sect’s second match was against Team High Clouds which had a very arrogant name but very low profile players… Seeing that their opponent was Quan Zhen Sect, they did not even turn up and gave up.

What else could they do? Team Red Flame was reputable in Thorn City and yet they were wiped out by just one random member. Naturally, everyone else did not even need to think of trying since Quan Zhen Sect also had Wang Yu, the nuclear weapon.

Complete victory for two rounds and so, Quan Zhen Sect qualified for the next round.

Just as everyone was about to leave, Yang Nuo suddenly exclaimed, “I received a random quest!”

After yesterday’s competition, everyone already knew the rule that qualified teams would receive random quests as a form of reward. Everyone was not surprised that Yang Nuo received a random quest so they casually asked, “What quest?”

“It is a bit odd…”

Yang Nuo frowned and shared the quest.

PVP random quest: United, quest level A. Pass three rounds of obstacles to obtain team passive skill “United”. Failure to pass will result in a curse from the God of PVP and obtain reduced status “No Heart, No Morals”.

Team leader, Clear Snow, click on confirm to activate the dungeon quest, or give up for the quest to disappear. Players would not lose anything.

“The reward is a team passive skill.” Everyone was tempted by the quest reward.

Team passive skills were a very special system of skills, not belonging to any skills category. So long as players formed a team for battle, they would receive improved status or improved passiveness. The more people there were, the greater the improvements they would receive.

Currently, auction houses also sold such skills but as they were very special, they were expensive. Although it was not known what kind of attributes it had, just because it was a “team passive skill”, it was worth a lot.

“Don’t be too happy too early. If we fail the quest, there’s a punishment!” Wang Yu reminded them after seeing the second half of the introduction.

By the literal meaning of team reduced status, they knew what it was. It was not too bad if the curse was temporary but if it was permanent, their team would not be able to play anymore.

Ming Du laughed, “It’s just an A grade quest. Do you guys think we will fail?”

“Old Li, you still don’t know the game designer well enough.” Fearless shook his head and sighed.

After playing the game for so long and been through so many quests, almost all the veteran players knew what was going on. The game designer’s aim was to end every player.

These despicable lads were like conmen in real life who laid traps for the players. A simple-looking quest would have an unimaginable risk especially this current quest. Even Yang Nuo could tell that there were many traps.

After all, it was just a random quest as a reward for qualifying. Why would there be such a good reward? It had to be a trap.

“Should we activate it or not?” Yang Nuo asked everyone.

The players were not forced to take on the quest so if they did not do it, there was nothing to lose.

Quan Zhen Sect looked at the quest reward and they were tempted. Although they knew that a trap was awaiting them, the bait was too good to give up.

No matter how shameless the game designers were, they had a baseline. No matter how many traps there were, so long as they could complete them, the quest reward would be theirs.

Since Yang Nuo asked, Ming Du replied first, “I think we have to take it. We can’t give up such a good reward…”

“Yes, it would be a waste to give it up.” Quan Zhen Sect nodded.

Mu Zixian anxiously said, “I think we should go for something safer. What if… then…”

Mu Zixian rarely voiced her opinion about Quan Zhen Sect’s ideas but if they failed this quest, it would greatly affect the rest of the competition. If they were just doing it for fun, they did not have to worry. However, Wang Yu already had a quest and the following competition would be tougher so if they get cursed because of greed, they would lose more in return.

“Hmm…” Everyone paused after seeing Mu Zixian talk and turned to look at Wang Yu.

Mu Zixian was a team leader but she had no say in battle issues because she was weak. However, her husband was the most powerful person they knew. They did not have to give her face but they definitely had to give Wang Yu some face.

“So how?” Fearless privately messaged Wang Yu.

“If you can convince her, I will agree with you guys,” Wang Yu replied.

Fearless was annoyed, “F*ck, what a henpecked husband!”

Wang Yu insisted, “I am respecting my wife!”

“You…” Fearless sent Wang Yu a despised emoticon then cleared his throat, “Mrs Bull, we are not being greedy.”

“Then what is it?” Mu Zixian asked.

“Challenging ourselves!” Fearless said justifiedly, “Real warriors have to confront all obstacles in life. If we back out from just a quest in front of us, do we avoid all tougher quests in the future?”

“…” Mu Zixian was lost for words.

Fearless continued to brainwash her, “If we can’t even take on a small obstacle, how can we take on greater responsibility? As the saying goes, what’s there to life if we fear challenges and remain a small figure… so…”

“Alright, you make sense.” Mu Zixian’s face was filled with black lines as she looked at Fearless and disrupted him.

Then, Mu Zixian sent Wang Yu a private message, “Hang out less with Fearless from now on. He can make greediness sound so nice. Don’t you learn that from him.”

“Haha…” Wang Yu laughed and side-eyed Fearless.

Fearless quickly sent a message to ask, “What did your wife say?”

Wang Yu replied, “She said that you are very capable, a real genius!” Wang Yu was already influenced.

Since everyone said to take on the quest, Yang Nuo clicked the accept button.

Everyone’s scene changed and they were teleported into a huge temple.

Soon after, a deep yet empty voice rang in the temple, “Warriors, welcome to God’s Trial Ground!”

As the empty sound ended, a big roulette appeared in front of them.

“Recruited one, please choose your trial’s project,” the deep voice said.

Yang Nuo walked to the roulette and spun it. After a few rounds, the roulette’s needle pointed to a red area.

“The choice is made. First round: Challenging Myself!”

After the voice ended, everyone’s quest became: Players have to defeat their inner demons on the stage to complete this round.

At the same time, the temple scene changed into a platform.

“F*ck!” All of them saw the change and looked towards Fearless. He really jinxed it.

“Player and his inner demon, please begin the challenge on the stage!”

Just then, a shadow turned into a physical form on the stage and a burly Pugilist appeared on the stage.
