Original God: Start with Qiuqiu, become stronger with food and beauties

Chapter 146: Get some commissions to practice

Amid the bustle of Liyue Harbor, merchant Old Qian gazed anxiously at his loaded carriage. This cargo was of vital importance to him; its smooth delivery to Wangshu Inn was crucial to the continued prosperity of his business. Meanwhile, Luo Xiaoyue's appearance ignited a glimmer of hope in him.

Luo Xiaoyue, the young adventurer with the divine eye, was slender and her eyes shone with determination and confidence. Old Qian looked at her with anticipation, "Little girl, I'm counting on you this time. I've heard you've inherited the skills of an immortal, and I'm sure you can protect this shipment." Luo Xiaoyue smiled and nodded, "Boss Qian, don't worry, I'll do my job well."

So, in the early morning sunshine, they set out on the journey to Wangshu Inn.

At first, the road was calm, with only a gentle breeze ruffling the grass along the roadside. However, when they reached a valley, the situation suddenly changed. A group of blue slimes jumped out from behind the rocks on both sides of the valley, their round bodies bouncing towards the carriage.

Luo Xiaoyue was instantly alert. She drew the longsword from her waist, her divine eye gleaming. In a flash, she charged towards the swarm of slimes like a ghost. She swung her sword, unleashing sharp blasts of energy. "Wind Blade Slash!" she shouted, and the sword energy transformed into a gust of wind, instantly sending several slimes flying.

The slimes were not to be outdone. They condensed blue elemental balls and smashed them towards Luo Xiaoyue. Luo Xiaoyue nimbly dodged them, but her sword kept moving. "Sword Shadow Continuous Stab!" Her sword stabbed at the slimes like raindrops, and each strike accurately hit the target, sending the slimes retreating again and again.

Just when Luo Xiaoyue thought the situation was under control, a group of hill people rushed out from the depths of the valley, holding wooden clubs and shields and making strange noises.

Luo Xiaoyue frowned and thought to herself, "It looks like this is going to be a tough battle." But she did not retreat at all. Instead, she faced the Hilichurls.

A thug from the Hilly Hills attacked first, swinging a massive wooden club, stirring up a gust of wind. Luo Xiaoyue dodged sideways and slashed at its arm with her sword. However, the Hilly Hills' skin was thick, and the blow didn't do much damage.

Seeing this, the other Hilichurls gathered around. Luo Xiaoyue was surrounded, but remained unfazed. She used her nimble movements to weave between the Hilichurls' attacks, swinging her sword repeatedly. "Whirlwind Sword Dance!" Her body spun, and her sword transformed into a whirlwind, driving back the surrounding Hilichurls.

However, the Hilichurls were so numerous that Luo Xiaoyue gradually felt overwhelmed. At this moment, her divine eye shone brightly, and a powerful force surged into her. "Wind Chaser Secret—Sword Storm!" she shouted, and a powerful storm of sword energy erupted from her center, engulfing all the monsters.

The slimes were torn apart by the sword energy, and the hillbillies were blown all over the place. After a fierce battle, the monsters were finally driven back.

Luo Xiaoyue stood there panting, her clothes torn in several places, but her eyes remained firm.

Lao Qian rushed over and said with admiration: "Little girl, you are really amazing! If it weren't for you, this batch of goods would be in danger."

Luo Xiaoyue wiped the sweat from her forehead and said with a smile, "This is what I should do."

After a long journey, they finally arrived at Wangshu Inn. Old Qian was very excited when he saw the intact goods.

"Ms. Luo Xiaoyue, your strength is far beyond my imagination. This is your reward. Besides, if I have anything in the future, I will have to ask you for help!" Lao Qian said, handing a heavy bag of Mora to Luo Xiaoyue.

Luo Xiaoyue took Mora and said, "Boss Lao Qian, you're welcome. Feel free to contact me if you need anything."

Under Lao Qian's grateful gaze, Luo Xiaoyue turned and left. Her figure appeared particularly tall in the afterglow of the setting sun, and her adventure journey continued.

"Stop, stop, stop."

[Stop with two dense scrolls of ghost lanterns and Gu Jie to block and turn]

Luo Xiaoyue returned to Liyue Harbor: "Master! Master! Mission 100% complete! They couldn't even touch the cargo balloon!"

King Hao: "You are worthy of being my disciple. Of course, a good adventurer should complete four commissions a day. I believe you can do it."

Luo Xiaoyue patted her chest confidently and said, "Master, just wait and see! I'm sure there will be no problem."

Luo Xiaoyue immediately took on her second commission. This time, she was tasked with helping a farmer drive away wild boars that were stealing his crops. Arriving at the farmland, she saw a herd of wild boars wantonly trampling the crops. A glare flashed in her eyes, and she charged forward, sword drawn.

"Wild boars, watch out!" she shouted, brandishing her sword with great force. The wild boars, startled, charged at her. Luo Xiaoyue nimbly dodged their charge, seizing the perfect moment to stab one. The stricken boar, its flesh shattered into fresh pieces and fell to the ground, sending the others scattering.

After completing this commission, Luo Xiaoyue quickly rushed to her next location. This time, she needed to find a missing scholar. She searched everywhere, leaving no trace. Finally, she found the trapped scholar in a remote cave.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here to rescue you!" Luo Xiaoyue comforted the frightened scholar and carefully led him out of the cave.

"Ahem... I was just trying to hide from the Hilichurls, but I didn't expect I couldn't get out."

……

By the time the third commission was completed, it was already dark. But Luo Xiaoyue didn't stop and took on the last commission - to eliminate the treasure-stealing gang entrenched in the abandoned mine.

The mine was dimly lit. Luo Xiaoyue, torch in hand, moved cautiously forward. Suddenly, a group of treasure-hunting gang members emerged from the shadows. Undeterred, Luo Xiaoyue engaged them in a fierce battle. Her sword gleamed in the firelight, each strike precise and powerful. After a bitter battle, the group was completely subdued.

"Well, these are the people. Thank you for your hard work, little girl. I didn't expect you to have such skills at such a young age. Are you interested in joining the army?"

"Um...but I prefer to go on adventures. If needed, of course, as a descendant of the Immortal Family, if Liyue Harbor needs me, I will naturally do my best to help."

"Could it be... that legendary immortal whose recently revived power rivals that of a demon god, the invincible Thunderbolt Sword Saint of Chaos, True Purity, Ethereal Nothingness, and Eternal Unrivaled, the world's number one, Qiuqiu Immortal, who truly accepted you as his disciple?"

“That’s right…”

It was already late at night when Luo Xiaoyue, exhausted, returned to Liyue Harbor. She approached King Hao and proudly declared, "Master, I've completed all four commissions!"

King Hao smiled with satisfaction and patted her shoulder gently: "Xiaoyue, you did a great job. Have a good rest and keep working hard tomorrow. Hmm... maybe you need to learn how to use the teleportation anchor point. This will make the commission more efficient."
