Catastrophic necromancer

**Chapter 1462: The Private Task of the Yu Family Ancestor**

The voice of the Human Emperor Network sounded in his ear, melodious and pleasant. Lin Moyu listened attentively.

**[Completed battlefield task: Exploration of Area 9-58.]**

**[Completion: Perfect.]**

**[Reward: 50,000 task points, 5 million ordinary points, 2 contribution points.]**

**[Since the Area 9-58 task was completed for the first time, an additional reward of 50,000 task points and 5 million ordinary points is granted.]**

A single task earned a total of 100,000 points, which was completely beyond imagination.

Lin Moyu had his own thoughts on why he received such a high reward. He believed it wasn’t just because of the perfect completion or because he was the first to complete the task.

The main reason lay in the task itself, which was related to ancient times. Bringing back information from ancient times significantly increased the reward.

The focus was on ancient times, and the high-ranking members of the human race placed great importance on events from that era. This was why the contribution points were also given.

But then the question arose: why did the high-ranking members of the human race place such importance on ancient times? It shouldn’t be just the human race; Zhu Qiwu had mentioned that the high-ranking members of various races were all seeking information from ancient times. There must be a reason, but what was it?

Lin Moyu racked his brain but couldn’t figure it out.

“Perhaps only when I reach that level will I truly understand.” Lin Moyu thought with a hint of self-mockery, realizing that he might be overthinking things again.

A pair of delicate jade feet entered his sight, and Lin Moyu slowly looked up at the visitor. “Why are you here?” The appearance of Chi Huo, combined with his gentle voice, created a stark contrast.

Yu Zhu’s expression was slightly strange, clearly not used to it.

She sat down in front of Lin Moyu with a charming smile, “Captain, if you don’t come to find me, can’t I come to find you?”

Lin Moyu drank his wine without responding to Yu Zhu’s words.

Yu Zhu sighed helplessly, “Captain, you’re good at everything, but you lack a sense of humor. Alright, alright, I do have something to discuss with you.”

Lin Moyu looked at her, signaling her to continue.

Yu Zhu glanced around, “Captain, why don’t we go somewhere else to talk?”

There were many people here, and even if she used soul transmission, there was no guarantee that no one would overhear.

She knew that some powerful God Sovereigns had this ability.

Lin Moyu said, “No need, just speak directly; no one can hear us.”

As he spoke, Lin Moyu’s soul moved, enveloping the two of them in an invisible soul force.

Yu Zhu felt the surroundings become incredibly quiet, with no external sounds coming in, and their voices couldn’t be heard outside either.

“Hehe, the captain always has a way.”

She flattered him, but Lin Moyu, being a straightforward man, didn’t appreciate it.

Yu Zhu, feeling helpless, got to the point, “I just received an order from the ancestor, asking the captain to undertake a task.”

The wine cup paused at his lips. The Yu family was a powerful and ancient family, with immense wealth, intelligence, and influence.

They were very low-key, unlike some families with prominent reputations.

Without reaching a certain level, one wouldn’t even know of the Yu family’s existence.

Lin Moyu guessed that the Yu family must have a strong figure at the Other Shore realm.

The ancestor Yu Zhu mentioned was likely such a figure.

Lin Moyu thought of many things in an instant but remained silent, signaling Yu Zhu to continue.

Yu Zhu understood Lin Moyu’s character and continued, “Don’t worry, the captain won’t be doing it for free.”

“The ancestor has posted the task on the Human Emperor Network, and the captain can directly accept it from there.”

“Moreover, this task is exclusive to the captain; only you can accept it.”

“The ancestor said that whether to accept it or not is entirely up to you; he won’t force you.”

Lin Moyu understood the implication, “So you don’t know the specifics of the task either.”

Yu Zhu blushed, “Captain, don’t expose me.”

After all that talk, Yu Zhu was just a messenger.

Lin Moyu smiled slightly, “Do you know why your ancestor chose me for this task?”

Yu Zhu said, “The ancestor didn’t say explicitly, but he implied that since the captain just completed a task that no one else could, he believes that only you can complete this task as well.”

Lin Moyu pondered for a few seconds, then drank his wine before saying, “Whether I accept it or not is up to me. It seems this task isn’t safe.”

Yu Zhu nodded, “I think so too, so the captain can choose not to accept it.”

“Let’s go take a look first.”

There was still more than a year before the Four Star Region Competition, so there should be enough time to complete a task.

As for the danger, every task had its risks; the key was whether the reward was worth it.

Lin Moyu settled the bill and left the tavern, with Yu Zhu following closely behind.

The two walked towards the task center, attracting a lot of attention along the way.

Lin Moyu, with Chi Huo’s appearance, was shirtless, revealing his muscular physique.

He looked wild, like a fierce beast.

Yet, Lin Moyu exuded a noble aura, giving an invisible sense of oppression.

People instinctively avoided his gaze.

Meanwhile, the beautiful Yu Zhu followed him like a little bird, her face filled with joy.

The two were like a beauty and the beast, attracting many glances.

Yu Zhu giggled, “Captain, don’t you think this draws even more attention?”

Lin Moyu responded with a grunt, “It’s fine as long as they don’t crowd around.”

Yu Zhu asked, “Captain, how did you come up with this appearance?”

“This person left a deep impression on me.”

Lin Moyu answered honestly. Although he had only met Chi Huo once, Chi Huo’s unique appearance left a lasting impression.

So he chose to take on Chi Huo’s appearance, and it seemed to work well.

Yu Zhu was surprised, “Someone actually looks like this? The world is indeed full of wonders.”

“Captain, haven’t you thought of taking on someone else’s appearance?”

“But I must say, the captain’s skin is really good, like a treasure.”

Yu Zhu chattered on like a lark, talking non-stop.

Lin Moyu listened quietly, not saying much.

After talking about the Four Star Region Competition, Yu Zhu mentioned recent events, “Captain, did you know? Something big happened recently.”

“Xiao Sheng reappeared. After disappearing for hundreds of years, he showed up again.”

“And as soon as he appeared, he went to War Zone 10 and killed a God Sovereign of the Golden Eagle Clan.”

“We received news that Xiao Sheng has advanced to the God Sovereign realm, and he’s a very powerful one.”

“Who would have thought that after disappearing for so many years, Xiao Sheng had been in seclusion, breaking through to the God Sovereign realm.”

Lin Moyu didn’t expect Xiao Sheng to reappear so soon.

He thought it would take another year or so.

Xiao Sheng was true to his word, saying he would kill 100 enemy God Sovereigns and bring their heads back to him.

It seemed he was really doing it.

Yu Zhu said, “I wonder who’s more talented, Xiao Sheng or the captain.”

“I think the captain is more impressive; after all, Xiao Sheng is over a thousand years old.”

Yu Zhu’s eyes were filled with admiration for Lin Moyu, believing no one could compare to him.
