77: Isn't this tailor-made for me?

Mo Fan pushed the door open and stepped out, habitually looking to the left, but then froze.

He scratched his head, feeling a bit awkward.

This was the Outer Sect; Xu Jing was not next door.

"I wonder if she's gotten used to living in the Sword Pavilion."

"But then again, the Sword Pavilion is actually quite suitable for someone as socially anxious as her."

Mo Fan shook his head.

If he were made to stay on the palm-sized Hidden Sword Mountain for decades or centuries, he would definitely go crazy.

But for Xu Jing, it didn't seem to be a problem.

Not only would she not find it agonizing, but she might even feel happy because she wouldn't have to interact with others.

He walked while deep in thought.

Ten minutes later, Mo Fan arrived at the Internal Affairs Hall.

The primary way to earn Spirit Stone was to take on tasks issued by the Internal Affairs Hall.

Of course, completing tasks did not directly award Spirit Stone, but rather merit points.

These so-called merit points were the hard currency of Yuxu Academy, which could be exchanged at the Logistics Department for Spirit Stone, Medicinal Pill, weapons, Talisman, Magic Array, Cultivation Technique, and Martial Skill.

Walking into the Internal Affairs Hall, Mo Fan quickly found the room for taking on tasks.

It had to be said, Yuxu Academy had kept up with the times.

Inside the task room, there were rows of bulky, old-fashioned computers.

These computers were used to accept tasks, making it convenient and fast.

Unfortunately, the internet had not yet become widespread in this era, and mobile phone functions were limited; otherwise, he could have accepted tasks while lying at home.

Perhaps because he arrived early, Mo Fan quickly found an available computer.

Opening the task System, he entered the number on his identity badge and his initial password, and Mo Fan entered his personal backend.

After browsing a little and reading the instructions for a while, Mo Fan roughly understood how the so-called task System worked.

Tasks were mainly divided into two categories.

1. Internal tasks.

2. External tasks.

As the name implied, internal tasks could be completed while staying within the academy; the rewards were relatively lower, but they were very safe and basically never involved any accidents.

External tasks, on the other hand, required leaving the academy to complete; the rewards were more generous than internal tasks, but they carried a certain degree of risk.

Most internal tasks were issued by the Alchemy Hall, Artifact Refining Hall, Talisman Hall, and Magic Array Hall.

Other halls would also occasionally issue some tasks.

For example, Chuan Gong Hall would sometimes issue tasks for recording videos of teaching Cultivation Technique or Martial Skill.

These types of tasks had relatively high requirements and needed a deep understanding of Cultivation Technique and Martial Skill; they were very difficult to complete.

However, as long as the requirements were met and the video was accepted, the task would be considered successfully completed, and one could obtain a fairly substantial reward.

Similarly, the Assessment Hall would also issue some tasks.

Zhao Yong and Zhang Tong, whom Mo Fan had encountered during his Promotion Assessment, had accepted tasks from the Assessment Hall and became tools for the assessment.

Under normal circumstances, these types of tasks were the easiest, and the rewards were quite substantial; the task would take at most half a day, yet one could earn ten Spirit Stone.

The only downside was that these tasks had strict cultivation requirements, and they only occurred once a month, making them very hard to snatch up.

As long as you were lucky enough to grab one, it was basically equivalent to picking up money.

After all, it was just testing the combat ability of a few Utility Disciple; just going through the motions a little was enough to pass, and injuries rarely occurred.

The situation with Zhang Tong and Zhao Yong was purely bad luck.

Besides Chuan Gong Hall and the Assessment Hall, the Law Enforcement Hall would also occasionally issue some tasks.

For example, recruiting non-staff members to carry out some activities or tasks.

There were many varieties, everything one could imagine, and it was quite complicated; it was dazzling and hard to choose the one that suited oneself.

As for external tasks, they were not so complicated.

The main content consisted of tasks with a certain degree of danger, such as apprehending wanted Martial Artist criminals or striking against remnants of the Heavenly Demon Cult and Demon God Cult.

Of course, the Alchemy Hall and Artifact Refining Hall would also occasionally issue tasks such as going out to collect Spirit Medicine or mining.

These types of tasks had lower danger levels, but they were still classified as external tasks.

In addition to this, there would occasionally be tasks for hunting Yao Beast outside the defense line or guarding the defense line.

It was worth mentioning that.

When the defense line was attacked by Yao Beast.

Whether it was the Three Great Academies or other Martial Arts University, they all had an obligation to conscript Martial Artist to support the defense line.

Mo Fan glanced briefly at the available tasks in the task System, filtered out the high-risk ones, and began to compare them carefully.

Soon, Mo Fan discovered that tasks related to the Alchemy Hall were still the most profitable.

"It seems choosing the Alchemy Hall back then was the right decision."

Mo Fan smiled, filtered out the tasks related to the Alchemy Hall, and began to browse them seriously.

Soon, he saw a task for going out to collect Spirit Medicine.

It lasted half a month, and the reward was 5000 merit points.

The activity area was on Huilong Mountain, more than 500 li away from Jiangcheng Base; occasionally, low-level Yao Beast would appear, but it was not considered dangerous.

By browsing the posts and relevant introductions, Mo Fan found that although this task required going out, it was quite suitable for him.

1. High reward.

This was the highest-paying task Mo Fan had seen so far.

2. Although it required going out, it wasn't very dangerous.

After all, it was not far from the base, and there was an expert leading the team; all Mo Fan had to do was identify and pick Spirit Medicine, and usually, there was no need to engage in combat.

Mo Fan quickly browsed through the related posts and discovered that this Spirit Medicine collection task was indeed quite safe, with almost no incidents ever occurring.

Most importantly, the reward was generous, a full 5000 merit points!

5000 merit points could be exchanged for 50 Spirit Stone!

Spending half a month to earn 50 Spirit Stone was still very worthwhile.

Under normal circumstances, most Outer Sect Disciple could only earn about 3000 merit points a month.

Of course, with high returns and low risk, one didn't need to think too hard to know that the threshold for the task would be very high.

Mo Fan focused and carefully checked the specific requirements.

A moment later, a smile curled at the corners of his mouth.

"Need to have a deep understanding of various Spirit Medicine, be able to identify specified Spirit Medicine at a glance, and possess the skills to skillfully pick various Spirit Medicine, as well as the ability to maintain the vitality of the Spirit Medicine within a short time?"

Seeing this introduction, Mo Fan laughed.

"Isn't this tailor-made for me?"
