Chapter 247 The Ruthless Senior Brother of the Path ...
Seeing this, the Second Elder immediately followed suit and stuffed a few high-grade spirit stones into Heng Mo's hands, saying, "I have some files that need to be sifted through. After you've finished preparing the teaching materials for your senior uncle, come and help me out as well."
After the Second Elder was broken through, the sect leader assigned him a lot of work to investigate demon spies. This job required a meticulous and reliable person, and among Heng Mo's generation in the Xuan Yang Sect, Heng Mo was truly the only one who could do this job.
As for the previous generation, well, the Second Elder said it's best not to mention them.
The Third Elder, eager to join in the fun, immediately said that he didn't have much to do, but since Heng Mo had agreed to learn swordsmanship, he would arrange for him to learn how to fly on a sword.
Having already broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, it would be embarrassing if I couldn't fly on a sword.
After the Fourth Elder stuffed the spirit stones into his mouth, he was about to speak when the Third Elder covered his mouth and said, "Little Seven is your only disciple. If you corrupt him, he might cut off your supplies."
The Xuan Yang Sect already has enough disciples like Shen Ting who love gossip and drama; there's no need to add a second one.
The Fourth Elder simply rolled his eyes at this. Was it possible that these two children were already quite familiar with each other before he came out of seclusion?
The Fifth Elder and the Sixth Elder exchanged a glance and also gave red envelopes. They honestly didn't make any demands. Anyway, they had a good relationship with Heng Mo. If there was any kind of weird dish they wanted to try, they could just go to him later. There was no need to let others know.
At that moment, Heng Mo heard the familiar mechanical sound again.
[Ding! The main quest for the cheat system has been unlocked.]
[Ding! The task page has been updated.]
This must be the main quest that the customer service representative mentioned before, which can be unlocked after Heng Mo breaks through to the Foundation Establishment stage.
Seeing that Heng Mo was busy for the time being, Lin You took the lead in opening the task panel of her cheat system. The originally simple task page was divided into four areas, with daily tasks at the top:
Daily Task 1: Receive praise from three elders, 20 points. (3/3) (Completed)
Daily Task 2: Check in at the three iconic buildings of your sect, 20 points. (3/3) (Completed)
Daily Task 3: Cultivate diligently for one hour, 20 points. (Completed)
Daily Task 4: Collect three intact hemostatic herbs, 20 points. (0/3) (Incomplete)
…………
There are ten tasks in total, and you have to complete them every day. Although they are a bit tedious, they are all easy tasks to do.
After acquiring this cheat code, Lin You specifically checked out the process of large-scale games and learned a bit about daily tasks, which were basically easy points-giving tasks that anyone could do.
Hengmo's game cheat code is currently in the early stages, having just passed the tutorial and entered the actual game phase.
Below the daily tasks are [Weekly Tasks], [Special Tasks], [Main Tasks], and [Side Tasks].
Lin You glanced at it and found that the [Weekly Tasks] and [Daily Tasks] were actually quite similar, except that there were more of them, and they were also considered to be easy points.
There are no special missions yet; the description says they are triggered and require exploration.
The main quest involves learning various skills belonging to the cultivation world. For example, after reaching 100 points in swordsmanship proficiency, you will receive +50 points; after reaching 100 points in alchemy proficiency, you will receive +75 points, and so on.
[Side Quests] are the quests Heng Mo did in Chaoyang City before, and the one that still has the quest to find the small mirror in the Third Elder's storage bag is still hanging on it.
"The task isn't difficult, Xiao Mo, don't worry." Heng Mo was surrounded by his elders and didn't really have time to look at the task page. Now that he heard what Lin You said, he felt relieved.
It wasn't until Xuan Ling was tricked into leaving the sect by the sect leader that everyone dispersed, and only then did Heng Mo have time to check on the golden finger's mission.
Everything else is pretty much as Lin You said, but isn't the number of daily tasks a bit too much?
Heng Mo has completed nearly a thousand tasks, including the introductory tasks and some side quests from the system. His progress bar is currently almost at ten percent.
But now that the task page has been updated, you can complete ten main quests a day. If you include weekly tasks, main quests, and side quests, you can get at least 20 a day.
Based on this calculation, it would only take him a little over a year to complete all his tasks and then say goodbye to Senior Lin.
He really wanted to keep Senior Lin here, but she clearly had her own world, and this was just a place she was passing through. In that case, he would just watch her leave with a smile.
Lin You was unaware of all that he was thinking. She was still slowly explaining the game rules she knew. Heng Mo listened attentively, asking questions from time to time, while carefully organizing the order of the tasks.
Based on what he knew, side quests always yielded some top-quality materials, which were extremely valuable to a junior customer service representative from the same place as Senior Lin.
Even if Senior Lin hadn't said she needed these, it could be deduced that these top-grade materials and spirit stones could be used as currency in her world.
Since that's the case, let's do more side quests. Although it will speed up Lin You's departure, it will make her life better.
Heng Mo looked at the side quest details and immediately stopped the Third Elder, who was about to leave, saying half-jokingly:
"Didn't Third Martial Uncle say he was going to teach me how to fly on a sword? Why did he leave in such a hurry? Is he afraid that once I learn it, he'll choose something from your ring as a reward?"
The Third Elder was even closer to Heng Mo than to his own disciple. When he heard that Heng Mo wanted to learn how to fly on a sword, he immediately patted his chest and guaranteed it. As for Heng Mo wanting to pick something from his storage ring, he agreed without hesitation.
Putting aside the major event of Heng Mo saving Xiao Qi with a elixir, just the fact that he would show filial piety (feeding) to him every few days, and would let him choose whatever he wanted.
Besides the fact that Heng Mo is a truly considerate junior disciple, another reason is that the Third Elder is a sword cultivator.
Sword cultivators are all poor. The most valuable thing in his storage ring is a sword called Qingyun that he had prepared for Heng Mo.
As for everything else, if you put it all together, it probably wouldn't even be as valuable as the red envelope Heng Mo just received.
The sword cultivator was poor but had no reason to be ashamed, and the Third Elder didn't feel embarrassed at all. He grabbed Heng Mo, and in a few breaths, they arrived at a cliff edge. Then, he chuckled and took out a recording stone, saying:
"Don't worry, Xiao Mo. I'm just recording you learning to fly on a sword. I'll use it as teaching material for that brat Shen Ting when he breaks through. I definitely won't use it anywhere else."
Heng Mo glanced at him helplessly. With that obviously malicious expression, anyone could tell that he was up to something.
It was just a quick photo, and Heng Mo didn't care about his image. He grew up eating food from many families in the mortal realm, and sometimes when he was so hungry, he would even eat grass and tree roots. He had many miserable moments. If he was afraid of being seen by others, how could he have survived until now?
When you want to prank someone, the greatest pleasure is naturally seeing their awkwardness, embarrassment, and vulnerability. If you can also stomp your feet and yell a couple of times in anger, then you've basically succeeded.
But if the other person knows you're up to no good but lets you play around and even acts indulgently, then the prank game is basically not fun anymore.
Especially when the person is a junior, it makes one appear even more childish, as if they need to be coaxed and played with by a child.
The Third Elder is in this state of mind now. After recording twice, he did not get the effect he wanted and instead felt somewhat disheartened.
He then put down the memory stone and focused on teaching Heng Mo how to fly on a sword.
Although Xuan Ling has some flaws, he has cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage, so his judgment is still sound. He once told Heng Mo that Heng Mo is most suitable to learn swordsmanship.
Whether it's flying on a sword or swordsmanship and sword techniques, they're basically easy to learn. In just a few days, you can ride your sword all over the mountains.
The Third Elder naturally kept his promise, but when he saw that Heng Mo had only taken a mirror, he was still not entirely satisfied and gave a reminder:
"I just picked this up casually in the secret realm. It can block divine sense. Although it looks mysterious, I haven't been able to figure out what its effect is. You should get something else. For example, this sword is pretty good. It's enough for you to make your own natal sword."
Ultimately, at Heng Mo's insistence, the small mirror and the sword were given to him. Heng Mo was quite curious about what the small mirror would be used for, since the items found in the missions his cheat system always provided were quite valuable.
[Ding! Xuan Yang Sect Side Quest 1 is complete. You have obtained the Immortal Artifact Fragment Eight Trigrams Mirror and gained 30 points.]
[Ding! Xuan Yang Sect Side Quest 2 has been activated. Please go to the uppermost part of the stream in the Third Trial Grounds and walk 100 meters east to pick the fruit. (30 points)]
Since the Bagua Mirror couldn't be submitted and it wasn't convenient to split it in half, Heng Mo naturally gave Lin You four high-grade spirit stones according to the system's valuation. Even the customer service representative submitted eight mid-grade spirit stones as compensation.
And this kind of transaction was actually approved by the Heavenly Dao!
Looking at the eight mid-grade spirit stones in his hand, Xiao You couldn't help but scream like a chicken, making the ghost next to him so loud that he had to cover his mouth to mute it.
It wasn't that Xiao You was ignorant and cared about these spirit stones; the main reason was that his cheat ability had actually been recognized by the Heavenly Dao, and he could use currency instead of items as a reward.
This greatly facilitated his upgrade of the cheat system and provided him with a more flexible and comprehensive way to earn commissions from completing tasks in the future.
Excited, Xiao You ran around the office eight times, but after being glared at by the boss, he finally calmed down and continued to study the direction of the revision.
Of course, he didn't forget Heng Mo, the meritorious contributor, and thoughtfully compiled the functions of the Bagua Mirror and the user manual, sending them over together.
Before all the fragments of a celestial artifact are collected, many of its functions are unusable. However, this mirror can be connected to any other celestial artifact fragment to provide real-time video and audio streaming.
In the past, this thing would have been a useless trifle to Heng Mo; he would have been too busy to even peek at a fragment of a celestial artifact.
But things are different now. The Second Elder's puppet is a fragment of a celestial artifact. With that, they can keep track of Xuan Ling's movements at any time.
Seeing that Heng Mo was satisfied with the small mirror, the customer service representative was also very happy. Then, he added that he had named the Bagua Mirror himself because there was too little information about the immortal artifact fragments, so he couldn't find out what its original name was.
Anyway, its current state is perfect for listening to gossip, so Xiaoyou just calls it that.
