Chapter 217 Chapter 217 Time and Space Administration
The reason is simple.
After the tasker leaves the wisher's body, he can only break through the barrier of the small world in the form of soul and return to the Space-Time Administration.
In order to allow the tasker to return to the Space-Time Administration safely without being affected by space-time turbulence, each system is equipped with a special soul protection shield.
This special-grade soul protection shield can be immune to anything that harms the soul, naturally including the negative impact on He Junxia caused by the Soul-Suppressing Cauldron absorbing a large amount of demonic energy.
The prerequisite is that the tasker is ready to leave the task world.
So He Junxia waited until the day when the demonic energy seal in City D was broken before submitting an application to the system.
The timing was calculated just right.
He Junxia took back the Soul-Suppressing Cauldron that was working hard to refine the demonic energy and clicked on the task rating.
The overall score this time is above average. The wisher gave it an excellent score, while the Space-Time Administration only gave it an average score.
He Junxia glanced at the deduction points.
The main reason was that he bought the luxury car and mansion in the last year after he left the mission world, and there was only one copy of each.
He Junxia touched his nose.
It is undeniable that he did not take this seriously.
[Whether to check task follow-up]
【yes】
The water curtain-like painting slowly unfolds
Time goes back to the day when the demonic energy in City D erupted
The demonic energy that suddenly appeared and disappeared and the huge bronze tripod instantly became hot topics across the country and even the world.
Especially those who saw with their own eyes that the bronze tripod swallowed up the evil spirit and rolled up the pair of scarlet eyes into its belly, searched for the owner of the bronze tripod like crazy.
As long as the bronze tripod absorbs all the evil spirits, we won't have to worry about monster attacks anymore.
Society can also return to peacetime.
However, reality gave everyone a heavy slap in the face, and those unspoken thoughts were instantly lost.
People found
People have sacrificed.
He used his own body as a consumable material to block the gap in the formation and prevent another terrible disaster from happening.
Strangely, his corpse was emitting a jade-colored halo, which not only prevented monsters and demonic energy from approaching, but also the awakened ones from stepping within three meters of him.
Others were surprised to find that practicing near the blocked gap was twice as effective with half the effort, and even those with high spiritual powers had some insights.
Fortunately, not everyone was carried away by the promotion of cultivation. After calming down a little, they discovered the problem.
An ordinary sixth-level or even seventh-level awakener cannot seal the cracks in the ancient formation by himself.
The only possibility is that there is something wrong with that jade-colored halo.
They found a suicide note on a stone staircase near the formation. The handwriting on the letter was as graceful as a startled swan and as elegant as a flying dragon, clearly telling them the reason.
That jade-colored halo is actually the moonlight energy he has condensed over the years, which can temporarily resist the impact of the demonic energy inside the seal.
However, the Moonlight Energy is limited and will be consumed by demonic energy over the years, so it can only last for 10 years at most. If an Awakened One absorbs the Moonlight Energy to cultivate, the time can be greatly shortened.
After various considerations, this sealed formation was surrounded by the army. Any awakened people who entered the range of the formation were not allowed to practice, and there were detection instruments all around.
Once discovered, severe punishment will be imposed.
However, every six months, the teachers of the Awakening School will bring a group of highly inspired students into the formation for training.
After two weeks of training, basically every time more than 30% of the students become awakened.
…
He watched the people of City D hold a grand funeral for him. After the funeral, the follow-up mission was also completed.
But the struggle between the awakened and the evil spirits and monsters will never end. As long as humans exist, the evil spirit will never disappear.
He Junxia reached out to close the task follow-up and opened the personal information interface.
He has done everything he can. What happens next depends on the choices made by the people in the small world.
[Task number: 48729]
[Name: He Junxia]
[Gender: Human male]
[Soul Strength: 25]
[Affiliation: 1386 Small World]
【Assets: 133,800 points】
Looking at the data on the assets and soul strength columns, He Junxia withdrew his gaze with satisfaction.
Although the Soul-Suppressing Cauldron absorbing demonic energy will bring negative effects, as long as you can survive it, it is also a kind of training for the soul.
"Xiao Si, buy the Basic Soul Cultivation Manual - Part 1."
[receive]
One hundred thousand points were immediately deducted from his personal assets. Looking at the remaining thirty thousand points, He Junxia felt a little distressed.
These are the points he accumulated by completing tasks hard. When accumulating them, it is like piling up sand into a tower, but when using them, it is like a dam releasing floodwaters.
However, buying the Basic Soul Training Manual was a decision He Junxia had made long ago - one of the conditions for accepting A-level tasks was that the soul strength had to reach 50.
Moreover, the higher the level of the task, the higher the soul strength required of the tasker.
If you encounter a world of immortal cultivation or interstellar missions, the natives of the small world can even cause harm to the soul of the tasker.
There was an unlucky tasker who was in a world of immortal cultivation task and was almost possessed and devoured by the residual soul of a powerful person in the secret realm.
Fortunately, the system activated the soul protection shield in time, otherwise the soul would be gone and I would be truly dead, without even the chance to return to the original world and be reincarnated.
He Junxia opened the Tasker's Home page on his computer and saw many new and popular posts in the Disaster Task Force. He clicked through them one by one and was caught by a newly pushed sales promotion post.
[Mysterious beast eggs for sale for 40,000 points, first come first served, no waiting after the deadline!!!]
Looking at the posting time again, it was half a month ago and the number of replies to the post was as high as thousands.
He Junxia became interested.
Normally, a Divine Beast Egg that could be taken out of the quest world was worth at least 200,000 points. The fact that the poster had offered only 40,000 points and still couldn't sell it proved that the Divine Beast Egg was worth a lot of money.
He clicked on the post to view the main building.
[OP 38468: A mysterious beast egg was offered for 40,000 gold coins and a small knife. No returns or exchanges. Mall inspection is as follows.]
[Item Type: Divine Beast Egg (Unknown)]
[Condition: Very poor (weak tire)]
[Incubation progress: 10%]
[Note: The hatching failure rate is as high as 90%, and requires a large amount of positive and pure energy such as Xiantian Qi/Xiantian Lingqi/Xianqi/Superior Lingqi to nourish.]
A look of understanding flashed in He Junxia's eyes.
The hatching failure rate is as high as 90%, and a large amount of pure air is required to nourish it. Only the taskers at the top of the standings or the lucky ones among the lucky ones can open the blind box.
After all, there is no fresh air in the accommodation environment provided by the Space-Time Administration for the taskers. There are only two ways to obtain a large amount of fresh air.
First: spend a huge amount of points to buy from the Space-Time Administration
Second: Enter the mission world and bet that you can go to a world with a lot of pure energy.
But both methods are too costly.
No one is certain how much Pure Qi is needed to hatch an unknown beast egg; it's a terrifying bottomless pit that can drag people down. No one can guarantee that their next mission world will have a large amount of Pure Qi.
Moreover, this divine beast egg is a weak embryo. Even if a large amount of fresh air is provided, there is a 90% probability of hatching failure.
No wonder the owner couldn’t sell it.
He Junxia was about to exit and look at the next post. He had no intention of buying this unknown beast egg.
Although the Soul-Suppressing Cauldron absorbed a large amount of demonic energy when leaving the previous small world, it can continuously produce pure energy after a period of time.
But there are many uses for clear air.
Even if you can't sell it in exchange for points at the Spacetime Administration, it can still nourish your soul. Combining it with the Basic Soul Training Manual will achieve twice the result with half the effort. There's no need to waste money on a beast egg that's in extremely poor condition.
What's more, there are only more than 30,000 points left in his account.
I can't afford it even if I want to.
However, when he was about to exit, his hand accidentally pressed the shortcut key, and the computer interface instantly came to the bottom of the post.
[38468: Take it away with 5,000 points. Great! Come on, if you're kind enough, please buy it. You can even eat it.]
[0347: OP, please don't mislead newbies. Divine beast eggs cannot be eaten. Eating them will make you loathed by all Divine beast species. You will also be hunted down by the species the egg belongs to, and will be killed instantly if you show your face.]
[0347: Furthermore, the divine beast eggs don't add much to the soul. It would be better to find more natural treasures in the world of immortal cultivation.]
【43846: Thanks for the tip.】
【38707: Thanks for the tip.】
…
He Junxia was a little moved.
Having said that, the Soul-Suppressing Cauldron does not have the ability to store large amounts of pure air. Usually, it will slowly exhale as much pure air as it swallows demonic energy.
I can't use all the points by myself, so it might be okay to spend 5,000 points to bet on one.
Anyway, if you do any B-level task, you will get a guaranteed 20,000 points, so forget it if the hatching fails.
If the hatching is successful, you will make a lot of money.
Not to mention the extra trump cards and combat power, even the energy fed back by the beast after its growth will greatly increase the soul strength of the tasker.
He Junxia clicked on the store on the poster's homepage and placed an order directly to buy this divine beast egg.
Seller 38468: You're a straightforward guy. I'll pay the handling fee. Receive the goods soon.
Buyer 48729: OK, thank you.
After finally catching a victim, player number 38468 hurriedly sent the beast egg away via system email.
In a few days, the beast egg will become a dead egg, and then it will not be sold even for 2,000 points.
After receiving the black divine beast egg, He Junxia looked at it carefully, but of course, he couldn't see anything.
The little life in the egg seems to be on the verge of death, and even struggling is very difficult, giving people the feeling that it is a dead egg.
"If you want to live, make a contract with me."
He Junxia separated a fingernail-sized soul and placed it on the divine beast egg. After a long time, the black divine beast egg, the size of a football, began to glow faintly, and his soul merged into the egg.
The soul contract was made.
He Junxia placed the divine beast egg into the Soul-Suppressing Cauldron. There was still some pure air in the cauldron, which should be enough to support the divine beast egg until the evil energy was successfully converted.
But he still underestimated the power of the divine beast egg.
As soon as the little creatures in the egg came into contact with the fresh air in the cauldron, they couldn't wait to eat it. After a while, the fresh air was sucked away.
[Hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry…]
The divine beast's egg kept sending out hunger signals, and He Junxia finally felt the reality of the "large amount" in the system's detection.
So can he apply for a refund?
Obviously not.
He Junxia stayed in the Space-Time Administration for 35 days. The Soul-Suppressing Cauldron finally digested all the monsters it absorbed in the small world and continuously fed them back to the divine beast egg.
First couplet: Divine beast eggs and meat
Second line: Congratulations to Junxia for drinking soup
Horizontal banner: Reverse Tiangang
Fortunately, after being nourished by the fresh air, the divine beast egg finally stopped crying out for hunger, and He Junxia's ears and brain got the long-awaited relaxation.
Forget it, the child is still young.jpg
However, the pure energy transformed by the Soul-Suppressing Cauldron may not last for too long, so He Junxia took on a new task again.
