Chapter 801: Chapter 689: No Need to Pay, Just Grind (Mega Chapter) (Part 2)
[Opening any type of factory in Tao City and recruiting ten thousand workers, with good operational status, reward: 100 Contribution Degree.]
[Obtaining any type of medal awarded by the Tao City town hall, reward: 200 Contribution Degree.]
[Clearing mutant beasts within a thousand kilometers around Tao City, reward: calculated based on Contribution Degree.]
[Investigating the intelligence of the assassin ‘Demon Shadow’, reward: 100~1000 Contribution Degree.]
…
These tasks are located at the middle-upper level, Hodder once again extends his spiritual power to the lower starlight.
[Huai River District – Third Construction Team recruiting two Earth Awakener.
Requirements: Cultivation above Awakening Fifth Tier, and mastery of one Solidifying Soil and one Soil-Shaping magic.]
Reward: 0.5 Contribution Degree per day.]
[Capture one hundred flying series mutant beasts.
Requirements: mutant beasts cultivation above Awakening Fifth Tier, and one hundred mutant beasts need to have an equal gender balance and belong to the same mutant beast group.]
Reward: 20 Contribution Degree.]
…
Hodder understands the task difficulty and corresponding rewards.
He looks around, not finding the situation of scrambling for tasks as he had imagined earlier.
“Of course, there are countless stars densely packed in the hall, the task numbers exceed expectations, and the varieties are incredibly diverse, with even brick moving tasks available.”
Hodder contemplates for a moment, realizing that he can handle most of the mid-lower level tasks, such as the mutant beast capture task, since the Celestine Mountain Range is full of excellent flying mutant beasts, it is almost without danger to him, only costing some time.
He gazes at the inside side of the hall, which reveals a long star river, described as an exchange list.
Hodder uses spiritual power to probe forward, and in the next instant, an exchange list lasting ten minutes of mouse scrolling comes into view.
Oh, a mouse, a new thing he learned about in Tao City in recent months.
The most conspicuous on the ‘exchange list’ is [Outer Sect Disciple Admission Slot*1], valued at 1000 Contribution Degree.
“Not cheap!”
Hodder calculates a bit, realizing that even for someone at mine Stepping Void Realm, gathering 1000 Contribution Degree is no easy task, let alone those young people mostly only at the Body-shaping Realm.
——Not all young people have Stepping Void elders to assist——Although Contribution Degree cannot be traded, young people can accept tasks followed by help from Stepping Void experts.
This is not against the rules.
“Here’s my chance; those young people should be willing to spare no expense to join Tao Sect, right?”
Hodder feels it’s his opportunity, but when he sees the next line, any thought of getting a substitute to lead a raid vanishes!
A Stepping Void Divine Weapon costs only 998 Contribution Degree!
Not 98,000, not 9,800, just 998!
Who needs admission slots?!
One is dumb for helping others complete tasks!
“Wait…”
Hodder suddenly realizes that the “Task Release Office” offers not only admission slots but also unlimited Stepping Void Divine Weapons!
There are Unity Divine Weapons!
Divine Domain Realm Divine Weapons!
There are even legendary treasures like “Exotic Fruit” that rapidly restore Origin, also unlimited.
“Wait…”
Hodder falls into deep thought again, suspecting the names of weapons, rare treasures, special items, puppets, magic, combat skills on the exchange list look somewhat familiar.
“Isn’t this the hottest selling stuff in the ‘Treasure Pavilion’? No wonder it feels mysteriously familiar!”
“Could it be…”
Not only Hodder but also many in the Stepping Void Realm and Unity Realm realize.
“Treasure Pavilion” has only appeared in a few months, yet its presence is seen among numerous forces across the continent.
In a mere few months, it has squeezed out the local industry hegemon.
A vital reason for this is “Treasure Pavilion” has virtually unlimited Divine Weapons! With quality being the highest among its peers!
But quality alone is insufficient; the dragon from afar can still suppress the local dragon, many people have speculated which top force is standing behind “Treasure Pavilion.”
“Indeed, the elders in Tao Sect’s power are enough to shock those with ulterior motives, and in open competition, ‘Treasure Pavilion’ indeed crushes its peers.”
Some Stepping Void residents had initially doubted whether Tao Sect could offer so many Divine Weapons and precious treasures as rewards, realizing that “Tao Sect” and “Treasure Pavilion” belong to the same family, the doubt disappears.
“Treasure Pavilion” sells dozens of Divine Weapons daily without seeing it out of stock!
Thud~ Thud~ Thud~
The stars in the outer space dim, Hodder is caught off guard, instinctively taking out the identity card previously handled at the “Registration Office”—originally thought to be just an ordinary identification card, casually tossed into a corner of the storage ring, unexpectedly smart.
Seemingly named…called “One Card Pass”!
Hodder approaches a star, carefully inspecting each star embedded on the wall, he takes his identity card and inserts it into the card slot on the star.
“Beep, Stepping Void Card.”
After receiving several tasks, the corresponding stars soon dim.
“Five tasks are my current limit in the Stepping Void Realm; however, if the task completion rate is high, the limit for concurrently handling tasks might increase…”
Hodder stops wasting time, turns, and exits the hall, intercepting a shared floating car on the street, which speeds to the city’s edge within minutes.
This is also the operational range boundary for shared floating cars.
Hodder pays the Source Crystal needed for the ride, steps down, advancing a few steps ahead, and steps out of the range of the No-fly Array.
Source Qi gathers around him, disappearing at the horizon in the next second.
…
Within the task release office, many humans and aliens who accepted tasks leave one after another.
Some do it for Divine Weapons, others for admission slots.
Two hours after the task office opens, more Stepping Void Realm experts hear the news and rush over; originally those young people who wanted admission slots, seeing numerous tasks, are not in a hurry, just picking the task best suited for themselves.
But when a group of Stepping Void Realm experts pours in, stars representing tasks dim one by one, aspiring sect disciples among the youth cannot sit still.
“Big brother, I’ve accepted the mission to clear ant nests, let’s go quickly; only after completing this task can I accept the next mission.”
A young man in Awakening Ninth Layer urges his already Stepping Void Realm brother.
The elder brother with thick eyebrows and large eyes ponders a while, his gaze sweeps past tasks stars one by one, finally taking out his identity card, waving it, “I’ve actually accepted five tasks; thus, I need first finish my tasks.”
Young man: “???”
Who swore so confidently to help him gain the admission slot?
How can you betray your adorable little brother with thick brows and big eyes!
The elder brother pats his younger brother’s shoulder, “My naive younger brother, look over there, Stepping Void Divine Weapon costs just 998, cheaper than your admission slot, so…”
Taking advantage of his younger sibling’s dazed eyes, the Stepping Void elder brother swiftly leaves the task hall.
The same situation occurs with many Stepping Void Realm elders.
Originally, most Stepping Void were very leisurely, feeling futile to breakthrough, enjoying their twilight years, occasionally mentoring some outstanding juniors, considering it a contribution to their family.
But now,
Task contributions can be exchanged for many Advanced Cultivation Resources, some of which they normally have no channels to access.
With sufficient advanced cultivation resources, as well as some potion to break realms, condensing source cores, breaking through Unity Realm before the lifespan limit isn’t impossible!
They can’t afford “Treasure Pavilion’s” goods, but they still have a life, if not capable of purchasing Consuming Crystal, why can’t they grind till they make it?!
Risk it, Stepping Void turns Unity, grind away, soar from then on.
In such circumstances, who cares about the juniors in the family, in the end only some juniors eliminated by Tao Sect, even if they become outer sect disciples in the future, they may not achieve much.
As for them, even if there is only a one percent, one per mille chance of breaking through Unity Realm, it’s an opportunity to become Unity Old Ancestor.
And Tao Sect, though a Human Race Holy Land, among 800 inner sect disciples and 3000 outer sect disciples, how many can eventually breakthrough to Unity Realm?
Probably not many.
