262: Mission System

After Mu Feng finished speaking, he noticed that both of them had an expression that showed they already knew.

He couldn't help but ask curiously, "You two seem to already know?"

"Yes, we did guess some of it."

The two women nodded and continued, "There are indeed quite a few people here who can kill a seven-tier mutated Yao Beast at the Dan Formation Stage Initial Phase, but they are all incredibly talented individuals whom we usually know."

"Someone like Senior Brother, who is unknown yet possesses such powerful Divine Ability, usually comes from an outer Immortal Cave Secret Realm."

"Although it's uncommon, it does occasionally happen here."

"So that's how it is."

Mu Feng nodded, thinking he should be more discreet in the future.

He currently possessed many treasures, and being in an unfamiliar place like this made him an easy target for those with ill intentions.

"By the way, how much do you two know about the situation here?"

Mu Feng brought up the topic again.

"The situation here isn't much different from before; it's just more crowded. If you look at your World Chat Channel, it should be divided into new and old."

"The new one is for the central area where you are now."

"Everyone's avatar prefix has changed from 'District' to 'Realm'."

"For example, my sister and I were in the 105th Realm before, so our World Chat Channel started with 105."

"The old one is the World Chat Channel you were in before."

New?

Old?

Mu Feng was a bit confused by what he heard.

For a long time, he didn't understand what the other party was saying.

"Hmm, this is a bit hard to explain clearly. Senior Brother, you'll understand if you open the World Chat Channel yourself."

Seeing Mu Feng's bewildered expression, the other party knew she hadn't explained it very clearly.

"Alright, I'll take a look."

Mu Feng nodded.

He opened the World Chat Channel to check.

As soon as he opened it, Mu Feng understood what she meant by 'new' and 'old'.

The old one was the one he was in before.

The chat prefix was Mu Feng.186.

The new one, however, showed Mu Feng (108th Realm).

It only displayed the Realm number of his Immortal Cave Cultivation game, not his specific area.

Looking at the people chatting above, their situation was similar to his.

They all displayed their Realm number and name.

"108, it seems my previous guess was correct; there were already 107 Realms of players who arrived here before our Realm."

When he previously received the reward for placing first in the Nationwide Great Secret Realm, the gift box displayed '108th Realm'.

So, Mu Feng wasn't particularly surprised by this.

On this new World Chat Channel,

the chat content was quite similar to the old one.

It was nothing more than idle chatter, forming teams for dungeons, buying Materials, and selling Materials—the usual.

"By the way, what is this 'gambling match' they're talking about?"

Besides the few things mentioned above, 'gambling match' was the most frequently mentioned term in the World Chat Channel.

This made Mu Feng very curious.

"A gambling match is a System gameplay in the central area, designed as a platform for everyone to spar and improve their combat abilities."

"When people fight, they'll bet small stakes to make it more exciting."

"Currently, those still playing gambling matches are all experts."

"Senior Brother, although your combat power is good, it's best not to easily gamble against people there."

"Some of them specialize in tricking newcomers into gambling matches to obtain the Materials or Cultivation Techniques they need."

Seeing Mu Feng's curiosity,

the two women explained while reminding Mu Feng not to try it easily.

"So that's how it is."

Mu Feng nodded.

He didn't ask too many more questions.

He figured he could explore these things on his own later.

"Oh, right, in this central area, if you encounter Immortal Cave creatures, it's best not to provoke them."

"Also, there are new tasks available every day here; you can accept a maximum of three daily. Tasks are ranked, and the higher the Rank, the more points you earn. Points can be exchanged for various Materials, Medicinal Pills, Pill Formulas, crafting blueprints, Cultivation Techniques, and all other resources you need for Cultivation."

"Senior Brother, if you have no further questions, we'll head back first."

"Oh, I almost forgot to tell you our names. I'm Ze Zhen, and this is my younger sister, Ze Mei."

"We can add each other as friends. If you ever have any questions, you can ask us sisters."

The girl named Ze Zhen said.

She had been talking with Mu Feng the whole time, so much so that she only remembered they hadn't introduced themselves when they were about to leave.

"Okay!"

Mu Feng nodded.

[System Reminder: Ze Zhen (105th Realm) has sent a friend request. Do you accept?]

[System Reminder: Ze Mei (105th Realm) has sent a friend request. Do you accept?]

Two friend requests arrived simultaneously.

Mu Feng accepted both.

After another round of pleasantries, the two bid farewell to Mu Feng and left the Secret Realm space.

Mu Feng searched around inside.

After finding no resources, he also left the area.

Because he had arrived via a random teleportation array when he entered,

Mu Feng didn't bother looking for the exit.

He directly used a 'Return to City' talisman.

After a flash of golden light,

Mu Feng returned to his Immortal Cave.

As soon as he returned,

an announcement sounded in his ears.

[Congratulations on reaching the Central Area! Your World Chat Channel has been upgraded to the Great World Chat Channel.]

[New Virtual Combat System added! You can fight against others here and test the power of your newly learned Divine Ability Secret Techniques.]

[New Task System added! You can accept three tasks daily to complete. Completing tasks grants points, and the points awarded will vary with difficulty. Points can be exchanged for anything you need.]

[There are many dangerous Secret Realms in the Central Area. We hope you can survive here.]

[Finally, good luck.]

....

This announcement was largely the same as what the girl named Ze Zhen had told him.

Among these, the Task System was naturally what interested Mu Feng the most.

It stated that points could be exchanged for various items.

This greatly tempted Mu Feng.

He immediately opened the [Task System] to check it out.

[Task Rank: F-Rank]

[Task Content: Collect any five demon cores. The higher the quality of the demon core, the more reward points you receive.]

[Task Progress: 14 / 5]

[Task Reward: One-tier demon core: one point, two-tier demon core: two points, three-tier demon core: four points, four-tier demon core: eight points, five-order monster core: 16 points, six-tier demon core: 32 points, seven-tier demon core: 64 points, eight-tier demon core: 128 points, nine-tier demon core: 256 points, ten-tier demon core: 512 points.]

This task Rank wasn't high.

However, the rewards were quite user-friendly.

The higher the Rank of the demon core, the more points were given.

He had collected many demon cores earlier.

This task was worth accepting.

However, Mu Feng was not in a hurry to accept it.

He could only accept three daily, so he decided to finish looking at the others first.

He glanced at the tasks in the Task System and saw about seven or eight of them.

Thinking to himself,

Mu Feng continued to look at the next task.

[Task Rank: F-Rank]

[Task Content: Collect Materials: purple gold.]

[Task Progress: 0 / 1.]

[Task Reward: One point per purple gold, can be over-completed.]

...

[Task Rank: C-Rank]

[Task Requirement: Kill an eight-tier transformed Yao Beast.]

[Task Progress: 0 / 1]

[Task Reward: 120 points.]

....

"A C-Rank task is to kill a transformed Yao Beast!"

Mu Feng hadn't decided on the first two collection tasks yet.

When he saw the third task, Mu Feng was truly startled.

A C-Rank task was already this difficult.

He couldn't even imagine what B-Rank, A-Rank, or even S-Rank tasks would be like.

However, he wondered if it was because his authority was too low.

He looked around, and the highest Rank task seemed to be only this C-Rank one.

Moreover, it was the only one that appeared on his task panel.

Most of the remaining ones were F-Rank.

There were two D-Rank tasks.

One was a collection task that required a certain Material from a seven-tier Yao Beast, which Mu Feng didn't have, so he didn't accept it.

The other was to help refine iron essence.

This task was very tedious and required Cultivating a fire-attribute Cultivation Technique to the Nascent Soul Stage to complete.

Mu Feng had no interest in it.

Among the remaining F-Rank tasks, only the first one had decent rewards.

The others were all around ten points.

"Hmm, I'll accept the first task first."

"Let's see what these points can be exchanged for."

After some thought,

Mu Feng decided to complete one task first.

This way, with points, he could check the point store to see what items were available for exchange.

If it was good,

he would then decide whether to accept the remaining tasks.

[System Reminder: Do you accept the F-Rank 'Collect Demon Cores' task?]

"Accept!"

Mu Feng nodded.

[System Reminder: Your task has been completed. Please select the demon cores you wish to upload for the task!]

He already had quite a few demon cores on him from before.

So, the task was automatically completed as soon as he accepted it.

"Hmm, I'll hand in a few three and four-tier ones first."

Mu Feng thought to himself.

He took out the three and four-tier demon cores he had obtained from the Poison Qi Secret Realm.

He handed in five of them.

Among the five demon cores, three were four-tier, and two were three-tier.

[System Reminder: Task completed. You have gained 32 points in total.]

[System Reminder: The Point Store has been opened. You can view it in the Task System.]

Task completed.

Mu Feng now had 32 points.

"Point Store, Point Store... Found it!"

Mu Feng searched around and finally saw the Point Store page.

He immediately clicked on it to view.

(I've been a bit too tired these past two days due to a cold. I'll update one chapter first; the rest will be updated tomorrow.)
