Chapter 102

"Hmm, giving him a grand mansion to live as a wealthy man isn’t treating him poorly."

...

Inside the villa of the Beginner's Village, Qin Han and Lan Xin returned.

Without heading to the Village Chief’s residence, he immediately mounted Nightmare and escorted Lan Xin straight to the Sword Dojo without pause.

At this moment, since the Job Change Tokens had long been exhausted, the once-bustling Job Change location was now devoid of any players.

Two Sword Dojo disciples, leaning lazily on their swords, stood guard at the entrance, occasionally yawning out of boredom.

Suddenly, the sound of hooves echoed, as a single horse carrying two figures rushed toward them.

The two disciples snapped to attention, their eyes sweeping over the riders before exclaiming in shock, "Madam! It’s the madam!"

One quickly stepped forward to receive them, while the other hurried inside to deliver the news.

By the time Qin Han and Lan Xin dismounted and approached the entrance, a group of over a dozen Sword Dojo disciples emerged from within.

The leader held a tray in both hands, on which rested a rainbow-colored drill-shaped gem and an ancient token inscribed with the words "Sword Hut."

He approached Qin Han and spoke without preamble, "Mr. Qin, our dojo master is already aware of your request. He set out on a journey three days ago but left us here to await your arrival."

"The dojo master said that if you returned with the madam, we were to hand over the Sky-Shattering Stone to you. Here it is—you may take it."

Qin Han, slightly dazed, reached out and gently picked up the Sky-Shattering Stone from the tray.

Its weight in his palm felt surreal.

He had expected obtaining the Sky-Shattering Stone to be an immensely difficult task, even preparing himself for a battle of wits against countless opponents.

Yet, here it was—secured without the slightest struggle!

Sky-Shattering Stone: Fragment of a Unique Treasure.

Forged from rainbow-hued divine metal, all spatial barriers are rendered meaningless in its presence.

Legends speak of a supreme expert who used this as a foundation, gathering incomparably rare materials to craft a super artifact capable of traversing infinite spaces.

If the other components could be obtained, its former glory might be restored!

Gazing at the Sky-Shattering Stone, Qin Han couldn’t suppress his excitement.

An artifact that no one in his past life had ever obtained—now truly in his hands!

With this, the day of assembling the true Sky-Shattering Shuttle was no longer far off!

Noticing Qin Han’s acceptance of the Sky-Shattering Stone, the disciple added, "Mr. Qin, our dojo master also mentioned that if you are interested, you may take the other token. It will grant you access to the Sword Hut in the future, where a great opportunity awaits you."

"A great opportunity? The Sword Hut?"

Qin Han’s heart stirred once more.

The Sword Hut was a location accessible only after the Novice Period.

In his past life, not a single NPC could be seen there, and players had assumed it was merely an ordinary backdrop.

Yet, according to this disciple, holding this token would unlock an opportunity within that unremarkable place— and the disciple had emphasized the word great!

This left Qin Han brimming with anticipation.

Perhaps something truly extraordinary awaited him there!

With that thought, he promptly took the token into his possession.

Seeing that Qin Han had accepted both treasures, the disciple nodded at him.

"Mr. Qin, we shall trouble you no further."

With that, he led the group in escorting Lan Xin back inside.

Soon, the entrance stood empty once more.

Qin Han rubbed his nose. The people from the Sword Dojo had such a peculiar way of doing things!

At the same time, a World Announcement popped up:

"Congratulations to player Qin Han for completing an Epic Quest. Reward: 1 Heavenly Dao Point. As Qin Han is the first player to complete an Epic Quest, an additional 1 Heavenly Dao Point is awarded."

Qin Han glanced at the announcement. Aside from the Heavenly Dao Points, he gave a slight nod.

Two more Heavenly Dao Points had been credited—not bad!

Truth be told, players who could complete an Epic Quest during the Novice Period were as rare as phoenix feathers.

Putting everything else aside, just the sheer strength of the High Priest alone meant that without Moonlight Shadow or other high-tier Unique Treasures, there was simply no way to defeat him!

Even if others were lucky enough to receive an Epic Quest, they likely wouldn’t have the strength to complete it.
