With no other solutions, Dugu Hong immediately called up the GM.
Even in the 22nd century, GM was important professional in computer games, regardless the fact that AI was enough to take care of most situations.
Human beings liked to have everything in control, no matter how shallow this control was. This was a social issue.
When people in high positons had skilled people working for them, control seemed to be the only tool for them to keep the society operating.
“Hello, may I know… Is there anything I could help?” GM Ding yarned and showed up.
The lady Ding was like a fairytale. She was attractive!
In front of such a pretty figure, it was believed that any kind of anger would be smoothed. That was why Number six night company paid so much for pretty representatives.
But, this was useless to Dugu Hong.
It was useless to Niuhuang as well. He looked over Dugu Hong before looking back to lady Ding.
“Good. Please wait. I need to check the game log.” After hearing Dugu Hong’s description, lady Ding had a surprise in her looks. But her voice was still normal.
This was the trend of the current computer games. The central computer would fix any bugs. All responses from the GM were pre-coded.
After a few seconds, lady Ding said, “Hello. I understand the situation now. All the data with your ID was correct. You can continue gaming. You can also save our conversation for future reference.”
“This is not a bug?” Niuhuang was surprised.
“I don’t answer questions from other gamers. If you have question, you can ring me up with your own ID.” Lady Ding politely rejected Niuhuang.
“This was not a bug?”
“That’s right.”
“Not operational mistakes?”
“That’s right.”
“OK. Good. I understand now. Goodbye.” Dugu Hong seemed fine now.
Watching lady Ding disappear, Niuhuang was angry, “There are other people who don’t understand. Please remember me next time.”
“To save time.” Dugu Hong gave Niuhuang an excuse and directed to get onto their trip, “I will explain to you on the road.”
“What exactly was it? You really understand?”
“It’s easy. The data is all right. Then it means this is a serial task.”
“OK.” Niuhuang said, seemingly agree. But actually he didn’t agree.
There were a lot of different contents in gamer logs.
Dugu Hong continued, “Since this is a serial task, then everything is easy. You will only get to know all about it after complete the whole task.”
“I only have two tasks with me now—catching live bugs and nine-turn gold poison insect...None of these should be part of the serial task. After all, you triggered this task in the first place. Why don’t you recall what tasks did you take?”
Niuhuang started counting, “Harvesting herbs.”
“Well, you can ignore this task.”
“And a task to look for the nine-turn gold poison insect…”
“You have that too? That’s only a reputation task…”
“Then the last task is to looking the body of a boy, who was drown in the lake months ago.”
“A boy’s body? Harvesting Qinglu herbs?” Dugu Hong frowned, “Is there connection between these two tasks?”
He couldn’t think of any connection between the two tasks.
Niuhuang finally understood what Dugu Hong meant. He then said, “There shouldn’t be any connection between them…I just remembered, harvesting the Qinglu herbs was a task from the white seedling village host. He gave me another task in one goal. That one should be the second party of the serial task—collecting Sanzhang Silk, which probably is a type of medicine. The old man said I could find it in the moon lake.”

The valley of Qinglu herbs was far away. It took them three days to get there. When they two returned back to the black seedling village, it was already mid-night.
This was the mid-moon’s day. The moon was round like a mooncake and shining brightly.
In the northern part of the lake, Niuhuang set up a fire. They two were silent.
Under such bright moon light, they originally thought this task would be completed at night. But they found out that the moonlight could not shine through the lake water. Even with Dugu Hong bursting his night vision, they had limited view. It was extremely hard to look for things at night like this.
