“That makes sense.” Ming Du nodded then asked Reynolds, “How do we enter Atlanta City?”

“The letter you have is the key to opening the dungeon,” Reynolds said emotionlessly.

“Oh.” Ming Du took out Regis’ letter again to take a look and at the bottom, there was a new line of words, “The proof of entry to open the ‘Ruins of Atlanta’.”

“Huh, the Ruins of Atlanta. This name already makes it sound like a tough dungeon quest.” Everyone expressed sympathy as they saw what was going on.

“Yes, this is a large dungeon. With all of you here, you can’t even fulfil the conditions to even attempt opening this dungeon.” Reynolds suddenly interrupted from the side.

“...”

Hearing Reynolds speak, everyone instinctively touched their wallets and only heaved a sigh of relief after realising that no money was gone.

Reynolds was embarrassed, “Who do you think I am? This information is a hint for the quest, so it’s free.”

Reynolds was indeed an honest person for giving the hint to them for free.

Ming Du did not understand, “Why has this quest for me become a large dungeon quest?”

In <<REBIRTH>>, quests were different. A usual solo activation quest tended to have a limit on the number of people. Only a multi-player activation guild quest was a large quest. However, Ming Du’s quest was to enter a large dungeon. This was odd.

“Dear friend, this question is worth 1000 gold coins. You don’t have enough in your wallet...” Reynolds said with a smile.

“I understand already, so it works like that...” Just then, Fearless suddenly broke into a smile.

“What do you mean?” Everyone asked curiously.

“This quest’s main component is actually a guild quest. Ming Du’s quest is actually a branch quest of the guild quest,” Fearless replied.

“Impossible, we did not even receive any guild quests...” Vainglory said.

Fearless smiled. “The guild quest was accepted by United Alliance.”

“Most of United Alliance has combined with... Oh, so you mean that Ming Du’s quest is actually a branch of Berserk Heavenlaw’s quest?” Spring Halo was the first one to understand what Fearless meant.

“Yes. The Atlanta’s Key was the first item which opened the Atlanta dungeon. After successfully opening it, a guild from Berserk Thunder City would receive a quest related to Atlanta. The proof of entry into Atlanta would be the letter by Regis we got from opening the Atlanta dungeon the first time.

Fearless analysed, “Hence, Berserk Heavenlaw’s crucial equipment for their quest is this letter...”

“I see, no wonder...” Suddenly, everyone was enlightened.

Initially, this quest was supposed to be for United Alliance and this letter was Hidden Lurker’s. However, as Quan Zhen Sect messed things up, Hidden Lurker lost the key and even United Alliance has been merged into Berserk Heavenlaw.

Originally, the United Alliance guild quest had an ultimate reward which was an equipment which could level up their guild. The owner of the letter, the one who opened the dungeon, would also have continuous quests and rewards. Hence, according to regular procedure, Hidden Lurker could secretly keep the best reward and level up the guild, benefitting from both sides. This lad really knew how to calculate.

“Yes, you are as intelligent as me. What a pity that you aren’t a Magician.” Reynolds praised Fearless after he was surprised by what Fearless said.

“How about me? How about me?” Ming Du asked after he was envious over how Reynolds, a legendary hero, praised both Wang Yu and Fearless.

“Thinking about how I gave you the quest reward, it is such a waste,” Reynolds said without guilt.

“Haha, wise man, you are right. He is that useless.” Everyone broke out in laughter after hearing his words. This old man subtly put others down so realistically that everyone forgot that he was an NPC.

“Argh, just don’t praise me. Why do you have to insult me?” Ming Du was upset.

Fearless waved his hand casually and said, “This is not the time to be happy. Since Ming Du’s quest has already become a two-way quest, we need to think of a solution.”

Now that the main quest owner and branch quest owner were Berserk Heavenlaw and Quan Zhen Sect respectively, one quest has been forcefully split into two quests. Furthermore, both quests’ goals were to find out the location of the hidden grounds. Hence, it was justified to call it a two-way quest.

However, regardless, since this quest was a guild quest, it was impossible for Quan Zhen Sect with so few people to complete a large dungeon quest.

After all, this time’s goal was not to kill a half alive God of Puppets BOSS. It was to get information from Regis. It was still the same location, but the dungeon was no longer that same dungeon.

“How about getting people from the Dead Spirit City to lay ambush at the dungeon’s entrance?” Ming Du said excitedly, wanting to start a fight between the two groups while he ripped off the benefits. This was Ming Du and Quan Zhen Sect’s favourite thing to do.

“No.” Fearless said, “Your idea won’t work at all.”

“Haven’t we always been doing this?”

“The circumstances are different. Berserk Heavenlaw has so many people. The Dead Spirit City only has small guilds. Unless the system announces the start of another faction quest, they definitely have no fight against Berserk Heavenlaw. Then again, even if someone ambushed Berserk Heavenlaw, they don’t even have a proof for entry. How can they enter the dungeon? Unless you give the proof to him.” Fearless said.

“Why should I?” Ming Du put his proof for entry into his bag and said, “No one has ever taken advantage of me.”

“You could sell it to them. Since they look like they can well afford it, and Berserk Thundergod was willing to spend thousands to buy information, he definitely won’t mind spending another few thousands to buy this proof for entry.” Frost Blade said, “If you understand his psychology, I bet you can sell it for at least ten thousand gold coins.”

“Hey, then what about my quest?” Ming Du said unhappily, “Isn’t there a way to earn money and complete the quest?”

“F*ck, I should not have spoken to you.” Frost Blade slapped himself. Damn it. He wants both the money and reward... What is this, a dream?

“Hehe, Old Li, if you were Berserk Thundergod, you would have everything. What a pity that you aren’t. Even if you join Berserk Heavenlaw, it would be useless.” Spring Halo mocked.

“Who says so? If he can’t hang in there, our Old Li knows how to fabricate quest items. Just that, we will have to go all out. Anyways, Old Li is used to it, right?” Wang Yu joked.

Old man Reynolds was also watching interestedly, looking at how everyone mocked Ming Du.

Just as everyone ridiculed Ming Du, Fearless suddenly said, “A way to get both money and rewards, right? I have an idea.”

“Speak, what idea!” Spring Halo said over-excitedly.

Fearless chuckled, “Hehe, we can get Berserk Heavenlaw to work for us...”
