Level Up in Earth Evolution
Chapter 41: Contract Quest

Li Wei became stunned after hearing Leo Dior's words. He was trying to replace a way to share his experience bonus, and now, if he accepts the quest, he will get it.

"Do you really have a way to share my experience bonus?" he asked with doubt.

The sage has created many dungeons, and this was one of them. Not to mention, he left all his inheritance somewhere. Li Wei felt hard to believe that he will carry a skill like that.

"Yes, of course, I have a way. It's an extra skill that could let you transfer the experience points with certain conditions. Even though I am a soul fragment, I can impart this skill to you, but you have to master it on your own," Leo Dior replied, seeing his doubt.

Just as he finished, a sudden notification rang.

[Ding, You have received a Contract Quest,

Quest: Request of the Sage Leo Dior

Objective: Fulfill the conditions in the contract.

Difficulty: ?

Rewards after forming the contract: Location of the inheritance, An extra skill, and Dungeon Clear Rewards]

–––

Li Wei looked at the quest prompt thinking.

'If I accept the quest, I will be able to share my experience bonus with them, and if the luck is good, then we might even get the inheritance,' he pondered, not making a decision immediately.

Because if he took the quest, he would force himself to do something, not to mention if his family is good or not.

Li Wei looked at the sage after making his decision. "I will accept, but if I replace them not worthy, I will not help them, and if they try to harm me or my companions, I will kill them," he replied with a deep tone.

He wasn't a murderer, but if there is a need to, he will not hesitate. He doesn't know much about this world, but he understood somewhat after reading the books from the library.

The worlds have many factions, and the most dangerous ones are Evil factions which contain every kind of race who committed all types of crimes.

Not to mention, there are also some hidden classes that belong to the evil faction, and they will attack people from time to time.

Leo Dior looked at him with a difficult expression. If his family really joined the evil faction, he will just confine and try to reform them even if he is a well-known sage who eradicates evil without hesitation.

Li Wei just watched him silently.

'His family definitely hid for some reasons, and he isn't telling me about this,' he thought, and pondered about what he said before.

He was a sage, and if he is that great to make people visit his home, then there will be many people who will protect and support his family.

But his family still has to hide; it just didn't make sense. Because of this, Li Wei felt doubtful towards him.

Leo Dior stayed silent for a minute, finally heaving a deep sigh. "I was busy saving the world when my family was targeted by some nobles, and they did it secretly. Because of this, my son Evan Dior became disappointed in the holy faction," he explained.

"Later, for some reason, he joined the evil faction and hid with everyone in the family. When I arrived, it was already late, not giving me a chance to replace them," he said, clenching his fist, blaming himself for getting busy with saving the world and ignoring his own family.

His expression changed several times as he made a decision. "I will accept your conditions, but even if they are evil, I would like you to know why they chose this path. If they really choose to do evil, then you can kill them," he uttered, his voice sounding weak.

Li Wei heard him in silence. He too knew the pain of losing family, and not to mention, the sage was saying he can kill them.

He looked at the sage, who still clenched his hands tightly and now looked much older.

After a minute of silence, Leo Dior fixed his gaze on Li Wei. "But if they are forced to choose the evil faction, then I would request you not to kill them, and it will be your choice if you want to help them or not," he said with a request.

Li Wei felt mixed emotions swirled inside him. He too felt sad for his situation, but it didn't mean he would become soft-hearted.

The sage lost his family because he was too focused on saving the world.

'I would definitely make sure not to make this mistake ever,' Li Wei thought, to him only Li Xin is the whole world and his family.

"As long as they don't provoke me and target my companions, I will not kill them. And if they really joined the evil faction, then I will also not help them," he stated clearly.

He didn't want to invite trouble; he was just going to live his life happily with Li Xin.

It would only bring trouble if he decided to help someone from the evil faction just because of his mixed emotions, and not to mention, they would be hunted down to death by the holy faction.

Leo Dior nodded with disappointment. "Okay, then I'll prepare the contract," he said, waving his hands.

He didn't know how many people found his other dungeons, and even if they did, there was no guarantee that they would be able to replace his family.

But when he saw Li Wei with ten times the bonus, he knew he would be able to do it, and if he was strong enough, he might even help them. So he didn't hesitate to put everything on him.

*Rumble!*

Suddenly, the whole dungeon started to vibrate, and at the end of the boss, the walls split apart, revealing a small room with some books and other things.

With a whoosh, a contract paper flew, arriving in the hands of Leo Dior.

He didn't hesitate and wrote the conditions while pressing his transparent thumb on it. Strangely, the contract paper shined, accepting his thumb.

"It's your turn," he said, sending the contract floating towards Li Wei.

Li Wei nodded and read it carefully, knowing everything was alright. He also pressed his thumb on it, completing the contract.

–––

[Ding, Congratulations on accepting the contract quest, you have received the following quest items.

1. Sage Leo Dior's Pendant (Quest Item)

Description: This can prove that you have a quest from the sage.

2. Map (Quest Item)

Description: Inheritance Location of the sage Leo Dior]

–––

He got a notification for accepting a quest and quest items that flew out from the room directly arriving in his item box without doing anything.

Leo Dior saw him confirming the contract and let out a sigh at the unknown future of his family.

"In the room behind me are some books that will help you gain knowledge for other classes, and there is also a dungeon clear reward," he explained, pointing at the room.

"Now it's time I should fulfill my last promise," Leo Dior said and appeared in front of Li Wei.

Seeing him getting close, Li Wei wasn't afraid because there was a condition in the contract that restricted Leo Dior from harming him and his companions.

The contract papers were created by the world system, so he trusted them because the world system has the ability to restrict the gods.

After class upgrade, everyone is able to buy the contract paper from the system shop as long as they have enough coins, so he didn't worry about it being fake or the system itself can detect it.

Leo Dior, who arrived in front of Li Wei, stretched his hands and touched his forehead with a finger. "I hope you can replace my family and help them," he murmured and disappeared like a flowing wind.

[Ding, you have received a skill knowledge from the sage Leo Dior]

[Ding, the skill knowledge will be combined into the skill, estimated time 15 minutes 0 seconds]

Li Wei was silent and finally sighed.

"This is the fate of people who saved the world," he murmured with disdain towards the world and its people.

Even though there is a good person test, it has its limitations; if not, the sage wouldn't have ended like this.

"I should be more careful in the future," he muttered.

"Brother, what happened, and why are you saying you need to be more careful?" Li Xin, who was behind him, asked.

When the sage disappeared, he also removed the time stop on the floor, returning them to normal.

Hearing her voice, Li Wei finally felt relieved, but he still kept his mana running for any unexpected situation.

He turned back to replace her; she was looking at him with a puzzled face. He didn't hesitate and moved his hands to stretch her cheeks.

"Oww, what are you doing, brother, stop!" Li Xin screamed in embarrassment, her face blushing when she found Alice, Elva, and Olivia watching her.

Li Wei felt he had revived after seeing her embarrassed face.

After hearing what happened to the sage, he felt sad, but he didn't show it because of his habit of hiding expressions.

Li Wei let out a smile after seeing her glare.

"Look, the dungeon rewards appeared," he said, pointing at the little room with a bookshelf and a table with a few items on top of it.
