2: Thanks to technology, I have the opportunity to fight back!
Accept the task, and you can directly receive rewards upon completion.
Isn't this more reliable than blindly adventuring on your own?
Tang Gao excitedly clicked on the task list according to the novice guide, and the smile on his face instantly froze: "What the heck is this?"
Close the task list.
Open the task list again.
Close the task list.
Open the task list again.
Tang Gao had to admit that he wasn't hallucinating; he really saw a series of tasks that felt like they'd cause a brain hemorrhage, and he couldn't help but rub his forehead: "What kind of outrageous tasks are these!"
[Introduction: Difficulty star ratings are set according to the user's strength, making it convenient for users to accept tasks based on their own strength.]
[Ten-star task: Break into the core area of college entrance examination internal data and modify your own information and scores.]
[Nine-star task: Threaten or bribe college entrance examination personnel to change your admission to a good university.]
[Eight-star task: Rob or steal college entrance examination materials to prepare for the exam in advance.]
...
Seriously, if I had that ability, I should be immortalized on the cover of an anti-terrorism textbook; why would I still worry about passing the exam?
What kind of person can complete such ten-star good citizen operations?
While complaining, Tang Gao activated the filtering function, directly ignoring all tasks above three stars. With his current ability, taking on one-star, two-star, or at most three-star tasks was the limit.
What's the difference between fantasizing about taking on five-star or higher tasks and seeking death?
Tang Gao started looking from the low-star tasks and indeed found some he could complete.
[Novice Task: Have a Shadow Person enter a low-level instance once.]
[Task Reward: One Divine-Grade lottery draw (rewards increase or decrease based on completion).]
[Novice Task: The Shadow Person's first battle.]
[Task Reward: Draw 1 offensive skill.]
[Welfare Task: Consciously control the Shadow Person once.]
[Task Reward: Obtain one random buff skill.]
Tang Gao's expression improved significantly, and his eyes lit up as he looked at the Divine-Grade lottery draw: "Novice tasks are really powerful; I must do them!"
He wondered what kind of Divine-Grade reward he would get then. The only thing worth considering was how to maximize the benefits of this low-level instance.
Tang Gao casually saw three associated low-level instances nearby.
[One-star Instance: Beat up ordinary criminals.]
[Two-star Instance: Kill evil monsters and deal with pollution according to the guide.]
[Three-star Instance: Kill or defeat a first-tier Middle Stage Cultivator who committed a serious crime.]
[Friendly reminder: You can try repeatedly and submit the final score.]
Tang Gao looked at the three-star instance and felt that this was already the limit of what he could handle.
A first-tier Middle Stage Cultivator is a Cultivator who has just undergone transformation but not completely, and if a miracle can be created, there is a small chance of killing him.
Of course, if the opponent is a first-tier Late Stage Cultivator, for ordinary people, even the strongest among ordinary people, it is undoubtedly an overwhelming defeat.
The gap between ordinary people and Cultivators is even greater than the gap between dogs and humans, so vast that it is impossible to cross.
Tang Gao began to summon the Shadow Person, tentatively activating the skill according to the novice guide by aiming his palm at the shadow on the ground.
"Shadow Animation!"
Shouting it out felt more imposing, just like how you have to shout when you play a 'Wang Zha' (four of a kind) in cards to feel satisfied.
Tang Gao's expression changed slightly; he clearly felt a warm current of Qi being drawn from his body, and a wave of fatigue swept over him. That warm current, like a stream of water, shot out from his palm and landed in the shadow on the ground.
The shadow on the ground quickly became very dark, then, like a living person, it climbed up from the ground using both hands and feet, stood in front of Tang Gao, tilted its head slightly, and stared at him curiously with jet-black eyes.
This was a completely jet-black Shadow Person, yet it was three-dimensional like a human, with a blurred facial shape, just like the culprit's 'little black man' in Conan.
Tang Gao shook his hand, feeling a bit strange: "Is this how a Cultivator feels when releasing an ability? ... Shadow Person, move the bed."
The Shadow Person obeyed the command, immediately went forward and began to drag the bed, gritting its teeth, sticking its butt out, pulling with great effort.
Tang Gao now understood: "It seems it truly perfectly replicates everything about me."
This crappy ordinary human physique was indeed his own.
When he projected his consciousness and had his own enhancement, he should be able to try and kill this enemy.
Tang Gao read the instance guide and knew that the Shadow Person would be teleported into the instance for battle, so he began to prepare equipment for the Shadow Person.
"Chili powder, and the lime powder left over from previous renovations, plus this electric saw, all set."
A first-tier Middle Stage Cultivator is strong, but still has obvious ordinary human weaknesses; he hasn't become powerful enough to be transcendent and ignore this level of attack.
Thanks to the technological society, it gave me a chance to turn the tables.
"Alright, take the equipment and enter the instance."
The Shadow Person took the items, stood in front of the main body, a faint glow flashed over it, and it disappeared from its original spot.
Tang Gao sat on the chair, using the consciousness projection skill to personally control and enhance the Shadow Person.
...
[Three-star Instance: Death Row Inmate]
[Task Introduction: Zhao Cheng, 30 years old, a first-tier Middle Stage Cultivator, was discovered after first raping and then killing a teenage girl. He subsequently killed several male university students who tried to stop him before fleeing from justice for half a year. He is currently hiding in an abandoned village in the city's suburbs, living in an empty house.]
[Task Requirement: Kill, or, defeat.]
Tang Gao blinked. Is the instance's NPC character setting so complete?
However, this task requirement was very peculiar.
For a small fry like him, what's the difference between defeating and killing such a first-tier Middle Stage Cultivator?
Hmm, no big deal, he can try repeatedly, no deletion and rollback!
If once isn't enough, then twice.
If twice isn't enough, then three, four, five, a hundred times!
Thinking of this, Tang Gao looked at the middle-aged man in a black leather jacket who was eating garlic noodles in front of him, and a smile appeared on his face.
...
Zhao Cheng was squatting on the kitchen threshold, slurping noodles. In front of him was a phone stand playing short videos of beautiful women dancing, which he was watching with great interest.
The shadow under the grape trellis in the yard suddenly began to expand into a circle over a meter wide. A jet-black person holding an electric saw emerged from the shadowy ground, with a bottle of chili powder and a bottle of lime powder hanging from his waist.
Zhao Cheng was greatly alarmed and quickly stood up, knocking over the phone stand on the ground: "A Dark Cultivator!?"
Dark Cultivators, recognized by all civilizations as the most evil, most terrifying in destructive power, and strongest Cultivation system.
An enemy extremely difficult to defeat within the same Rank!
He had already hidden here, so why was he targeted?
No, to be precise, why was *he* targeted by a Dark Cultivator?!
