"The Qingpin Sword!!"
Guhan was puzzled as he looked at the inscription on the sword. Why didn't any of the guides mention that the sword had a name engraved on it?
"Brother Guhan, do you like this sword?" Fleeting Year Calendar, who was walking behind Guhan, asked when he saw Guhan staring at the sword.
"That's right. This sword looks really good. I wonder where you bought it from?" Fleeting Year Calendar asked casually.
"I'm not sure. It was given to me by my father. I think it was given to me by my grandmother when she was dancing in the public square. My grandmother passed away, so my father gave it to me." Fleeting Year Calendar seemed a little sad when he mentioned his grandmother.
"So it's something left behind by your grandmother. Don't worry, I'll return it to you after I send you to the museum."
"It's fine. I don't know how to wield a sword. If it wasn't for Brother Guhan wanting to use it, I would have left it at home and never seen it again.
Since Brother Guhan likes it, I'll give it to you as a gift from Fleeting Year Calendar, "Fleeting Year Calendar said.
"Alright, I won't stand on ceremony then."
Guhan gripped the sword tightly. Whether or not he could complete the quest within an hour depended on this sword.
Eight minutes had passed since the start of the mission. The distance between Honest Grocery Store and the Provincial Museum was three kilometers. Based on the best route in the guide, it would take at least twenty minutes to get there.
Both of them added up to 28 minutes, and according to Gu Han's pre-determined plan, there was a budget of 30 minutes in it.
From the looks of it, there seemed to be enough time left. There were still two minutes left, but the prerequisite was that the time to the Provincial Museum had to be within twenty minutes … This was impossible. The System would not allow this journey to be smooth sailing.
According to the historical records, when Kenzu was young, he was different from the decisive, murderous, and merciful personality he had when he was at his peak. The young Kenzu was a good person who loved to help others. People called him the Fleeting Mother.
When Fleeting Calendar was young, he was a good person who would not hesitate to jump out to help anyone who was hurt or wronged. He would not consider the reality of the situation, and he would help others with his cunning nature.
In a stable society, this might have been praiseworthy, but in the post-apocalyptic world, it was a cancer that would harm others and himself. It was one thing for Fleeting Time to fall into Fleeting Time's trap, but many of Fleeting Time's friends were also tricked by his personality, and they lost their lives as a result.
…
"Big Brother Guhan, look, what's happening over there?"
Fleeting Time Calendar, who had been quietly following Guhan this entire time, suddenly stopped and pointed into the distance with a fearful expression.
"… The thing I was worried about has finally come …" Guhan sighed in his heart. Our future Kenzu Fleeting Calendar's saintly personality had finally shown itself.
Following the direction of the calendar's finger, there was a woman in tattered clothes running for her life. Behind her, there was a leopard covered in gold patterns. It was chasing after her in a frenzy.
"Oh, it's nothing. That woman is happily playing with her pet cat. Let's not disturb them. Your mother is still waiting for us in the museum." According to the rumors on the forums, sometimes, a lie or two could solve a big problem.
"Is there such a big cat in the world?"
Fleeting Time Calendar was doubtful and hesitant. At that moment, the woman in the distance seemed to have discovered the existence of Guhan and Fleeting Time Calendar. It was as if she had seen a life-saving straw. She staggered and ran towards Guhan, shouting as she ran. "Help!
Help! "
"Lord Guhan, that's not a cat, it's a leopard!" Fleeting Time Calendar's intelligence was restored. "Lord Guhan, we must help her!"
"System Notification: Quest updated: Side Quest 1: Lend a helping hand to Fleeting Time Calendar. Kill the leopard and save the civilians it is chasing.
Please note, you can give up on the side quest, but it will affect your final dungeon rating. "
Alright, the system notification came, and the quest was refreshed. For the sake of an SSS rating, Guhan had no other choice but to complete this side quest.
"Big Brother Guhan, I'll go and attract the leopard's attention. You take your sword and hide behind the car. When the leopard leaps over the car, stab its butt with your sword."
As the future savior of mankind, Fleeting Time Calendar's ability to respond to emergencies was quite good. In an instant, he had thought of a way to deal with the leopard.
According to the statistics on the forums, while escorting Fleeting Time Calendar to the museum, there would be at least one to three side quests. These side quests were randomly selected from a total of 81 side quests.
As such, as time went on, detailed guides for the 81 side quests were created. Some players even copied and pasted these guides together to form a collection called "Fleeting Time Calendar's 81 Challenges Super Guide Collection". The leopard incident that Guhan encountered was also included in this collection.
According to the strategy guide, the best way for a player to deal with the Golden Panther was to follow the Fleeting Year Calendar's instructions. This was because the Golden Panther would definitely be tempted by the Fleeting Year Calendar and give up on the woman it was chasing. Instead, it would leap over the car and attack the Fleeting Year Calendar, allowing the player to easily stab the Golden Panther in the butt.
However, the leopard would not die immediately. Instead, it would angrily turn its attention to the player who stabbed it in the butt. At that time, the player would only need to take advantage of the super beginner buff and endure the leopard's attacks for five minutes. After five minutes, the leopard would die due to excessive blood loss.
This was the safest way to complete the quest, but Guhan did not intend to do so. He did not have five minutes to waste!!!
… …
"Stay here and don't move. I'll be back soon," Guhan stopped Fleeting Time Calendar from jumping out and acting as bait.
Gu Han held his sword in his hand and leaped up from the ground, charging towards the direction of the leopard.
"Big Brother Guhan, be careful!"
Fleeting Time Calendar followed behind Guhan in an attempt to stop Guhan. However, he found that Guhan was surprisingly agile. With just a slight tap of his foot, Fleeting Time Calendar leaped a few meters away.
In the blink of an eye, Guhan was already face to face with the leopard.
"Little brother, save me!
Save me! "
The woman who was out of breath from being chased by the leopard breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Guhan standing in front of the leopard like a divine general. At least someone was willing to die for her. However, she could not afford to be complacent. She had to run as fast as possible. What if the leopard felt that one person was not enough to fill its stomach?
Therefore, the woman continued to run with all her might. However, as she ran, she turned her head to see how the silly boy behind her would die. It would have been fine if she didn't look, but when she did, her eyes almost popped out of her sockets.
The leopard that had been chasing him like a gust of wind and lightning suddenly stopped. It lowered its body, tightened the muscles of its limbs, and constantly uttered terrifying roars, as if it was not a weak human being in front of it, but a lion, a tiger, a well-matched opponent.
"Are you afraid of me?" Guhan showed an impatient expression, "I don't have much time left."
Suddenly, Guhan moved and rushed to the leopard at a very fast speed. The leopard roared and jumped two meters high with its four limbs. Its weak waist twisted in the air, and the whole body of the leopard appeared above Guhan. A pair of shining claws were aimed at Guhan's head, and its teeth were aimed at Guhan's throat.
The leopard firmly believed that its claws would crush the opponent's head in the next moment, and its bloody mouth would easily tear the human's throat. It would be able to enjoy a delicious breakfast.
Unfortunately, the leopard thought too much.
Although the leopard had indeed grabbed Gu Han's head and bitten his throat, Gu Han's eyes were filled with fear.
In the woman's scream, Guhan did not dodge and let the leopard attack him. At the same time, the Qingpin sword in his hand crossed the leopard's belly like lightning, making an opening from the throat to the leopard's whip.
The big and small fat intestines, internal organs, heart, liver, spleen, and prostate of the leopard's body, accompanied by a large amount of bright red blood, fell out of the stomach like a rainstorm.
From the beginning of the attack to the present, in less than three seconds, the eyes of the leopard lost all the light and became a corpse. Its mouth bit Guhan's throat, like a fur coat, hanging on Guhan's body.
"Its teeth are still sharp."
He forcefully pried open the leopard's mouth and threw its body to the ground. He glanced at the system's damage record. The moment the leopard bit Gu Han, the system's record appeared: -9999 (Instant Kill).
Every newbie who entered the game had a standard 100 HP. In addition to the Super Novice Buff, which increased HP by 100 times, Gu Han's HP was currently 10,000 HP.
In other words, the 9,999 sure-kill damage from the Golden Panther had reduced Fleeting Calendar's HP to 1 point. If it wasn't for the Super Novice Buff, the Golden Panther's attack would have killed Gu Han.
By the way, the Instant Kill in this game did not mean that the damage would be doubled, but a true instant kill. With one hit, all of the player's HP would be emptied, and the player would die instantly … Unless there was an overpowered buff like the Super Novice Buff, there was only death.
… …
"Brother Guhan!
Brother Guhan! "
Fleeting Calendar ran all the way to Guhan's side. When he saw the leopard biting Guhan's throat, he was almost scared to death.
"Big Brother Gu Han, are you alright? I saw the leopard biting your throat. Big Brother Gu Han, don't tell me you're having a sudden recovery …" Fleeting Calendar said worriedly.
"Say something lucky!"
Guhan knocked on Fleeting Calendar's head, "You were mistaken. The leopard did not bite my throat. Look, there's no wound on my neck at all!"
Guhan looked at his throat. As expected, it was clean and flawless … Thanks to his 1,000x HP regeneration, Guhan's HP was restored to full in just 10 seconds. The wound on his neck had disappeared as well.
"Hehe, it's good that you're alright … It's good that you're alright …" Fleeting Calendar chuckled as he rubbed his own head and Guhan's throat.
"Thank you for saving me, handsome guys. Ziyu is very grateful!" A soft voice could be heard. It was the girl who came to express her gratitude.
Since the leopard was killed, she no longer had any intention of running away. She walked up to them and thanked them with a soft voice.
After being thanked, Gu Han and Fleeting Time Calendar took a good look at the girl's appearance for the first time. She had a slim waist and long legs. Her breasts were perky and her buttocks were perky. Her face was beautiful, and she looked mature and affectionate.
"You're … You're …" Fleeting Calendar cried out in surprise, "You're Zhou Ziyu!
The Japanese actress, Zhou Ziyu!
I grew up watching your movies … "
"Hehe …" Zhou Ziyu let out a hollow laugh before returning to her affectionate self, "That's right. I'm that Japanese actress, Zhou Ziyu."
