Chapter 278: An Absolutely Impossible Task.

Chapter 278: An Absolutely Impossible Task.

Maybe it was indeed as the outside spectators said.

The punch that Ling Zhan had just thrown in anger caused the spirit of the secret realm to be displeased.

Therefore, the highest difficulty task was given to him.

On the other hand, Funo...

Old Man Funo chuckled and said, "Mr. Ling, my task is just to kill a hundred blue-named small monsters. It won't affect the live follow-up."

Ling Zhan didn't speak. He looked at the ball of light again, then turned his head and asked, "Is it true that the higher the task difficulty, the richer the rewards?"

"Yes."

Funo nodded and said, "But I still have to remind you, Mr. Ling."

"Your probability of completing the task is less than 10%!"

"It's not a question of your strength, but in this city defense battle, you're not the only one targeting those bosses!"

"Some powerful adventurer guilds, even if everyone completes their tasks, will stay to hunt golden-named boss monsters to gain more rewards!"

"The members of these adventurer guilds have been living in Darklight City for many years and are familiar with each other, as they meet often."

"Because of this, they have probably already discussed the distribution of resources."

"If you join suddenly, you might be excluded and targeted."

After listening to Funo's explanation.

Ling Zhan's expression remained unchanged, as if he wasn't worried about this issue at all.

The outside spectators, seeing Ling Zhan still so calm at this moment, couldn't help but look at each other.

Was this guy's mental fortitude really that strong?

Facing such a difficult task, he was still so unhurried!

Defending the city itself was difficult!

You must know that this city is extremely large!

And there were monster armies attacking from all directions!

One person simply couldn't defend it!

But even so, Ling Zhan still didn't show any frown or dark expression!

Did he really have the confidence to complete the task?

No...

Impossible!

He absolutely couldn't complete it!

At this time, the Nine-Tailed Fox turned to look at He Chuan, Ba Meng, and other contestants from various countries.

Her delicate and charming face was full of enchanting smiles, and she asked, "Everyone, do you think he can complete this task of defending the city and killing ten boss monsters?"

As soon as the Nine-Tailed Fox's voice fell.

He Chuan said with difficulty, "This... I'm afraid even Li Chaoge and Princess Sheng Luni couldn't do it?"

Ba Meng nodded and said, "Brother Chuan is right, even Li Chaoge and Princess Sheng Luni couldn't do this task!"

"It's not that they lack strength, but there are people competing for monsters!"

"Adventurers who can appear here are not weak at all."

"Plus, it's hard for one person to be in multiple places at once. In such a large solitary city, with monsters attacking from all directions, who can ensure they can defend it alone?"

Listening to Ba Meng's words.

The other contestants from various countries also slowly nodded, expressing their agreement.

If the task had to be completed, the only method...

Was to kill people!

Exactly!

As long as you kill the adventurers competing for monsters, and then force them to help defend the city.

There might still be hope to complete the task.

But the problem was, this required someone ruthless and cruel.

And no survivors to report.

Otherwise, they would still face the death penalty.

After all, in the Holy Light Empire, wanton killing was also against the law.

Thinking it over.

It seemed there was no way for this non-specialist to complete the task!

The Nine-Tailed Fox listened to these responses.

She sighed lightly.

What a pity...

She thought she could see this guy break Princess Sheng Luni's record.

Unexpectedly, he encountered a task checkpoint.

And was given the hardest task.

While everyone was discussing.

Two figures quietly walked into the guild hall.

These two figures, after entering, happened to see the task content on the screen.

"Ha!!"

One of the figures, seeing this scene, couldn't help but join the spectators in mocking laughter.

...

At the same time.

In the luxurious conference room at the top of the giant clock tower.

The senior members of the "Eden" guild also showed serious expressions.

They didn't expect this non-specialist to be so unlucky.

He encountered a merged task checkpoint right away.

And was given this almost impossible task.

This task could probably only be easily completed by a level 100 fourth-tier expert.

Even third-tier experts would need at least four people to cooperate to take it down.

But Ling Zhan was alone.

As a follow-up live broadcaster, Funo couldn't help Ling Zhan.

If they didn't know the spirit of the secret realm was emotionless, they would suspect it was deliberately making things difficult for this non-specialist.

Cathy frowned at the screen, crude words spilling from her mouth:

"What the hell is this bullshit task!?"

Laon helplessly said, "Vice President, please watch your language."

Kroll said, "Actually, it doesn't matter, let's see how this kid handles it."

"Even Li Chaoge and Princess Sheng Luni couldn't complete this task, let's see how far this kid can go."

Laon and Clement nodded slightly, agreeing with this reasoning.

Cathy also quieted down, her beautiful eyes seriously watching the screen.

It was as if she was expecting the gem on the screen to shine with the brilliance she hoped for.

If this kid performed well, she might consider taking him as her last apprentice.

...

"Would you like to officially start the task?"

At this moment, a line of text appeared on the spirit of the secret realm's scroll.

Ling Zhan didn't hesitate at all and said calmly, "Yes!"

Buzz!!

A beam of light instantly descended on Ling Zhan and Funo.

In the next moment.

Ling Zhan and Funo were teleported to the south gate wall of the solitary city.

The surrounding adventurers turned to look.

Then they were stunned.

It wasn't because they were surprised to see Ling Zhan.

But because they saw Old Man Funo with the title of 'Scythe of Death.'

Shouldn't a third-tier expert be raiding secret realms above the hundredth floor?

Why was he here?

"Everyone, don't mind me, I won't steal monsters. I'm just here as Mr. Ling's follow-up broadcaster."

Funo smiled and explained to the adventurers around him.

Because of this sentence.

Swoosh!!

All the adventurers on the south gate wall instantly turned their gaze to Ling Zhan!
