1879 Denied
Fang Heng took the form and perused it, his brow creasing in concern.
For most commissions, master-level academics could only fulfill the lowest entry-level requirements.
It was challenging.
For missions like writing and selling books, even if he didn’t eat or drink for 24 hours, it would still take him at least two days to finish a book with the help of the mechanical servant.
He still didn’t know if the finished book was worth money or if it could be sold. It was too time-consuming, and he rejected it.
The secure missions issued by the Library of the Myriad Worlds demanded leaving the hotel premises for completion.
The commission points were enticing.
However, the risk of leaving the hotel was too perilous.
Fang Heng immediately dismissed this option.
Continuing to flip through the pages, Fang Heng’s brows suddenly lifted.
Ah, there it was!
Alchemy!
The only commission that seemed fitting for him was probably in the realm of alchemy.
Alchemy commissions differed from most academic pursuits. They were practical, seeking solutions in exchange for compensation.
For instance, resolving an alchemy academic issue.
This was promising!
Fang Heng was intrigued.
With his omniscient eyes, as well as his high-tier alchemy and the inheritance of the Saint of Alchemy, he felt that solving specific problems was far easier than teaching!
He could give it a shot!
“I need more information about commissions related to the arrangement of alchemy magic arrays.”
After Fang Heng reviewed the detailed descriptions of several missions, he felt somewhat uncertain. He wasn’t sure if he could complete the tasks issued by these commissions, given the vague data in their descriptions.
“Alright, we’ll register the mission immediately. Please provide your identity card. Kindly wait for a moment,” the mechanical servant said, its eyes shimmering with a blue light.
“You’ve been charged 50 points as a security deposit for accepting this commission registration. Your identity card has been authorized. You can proceed to Room No. 3723 to fulfill the commission. I must remind you, failing this mission will result in subtractions from your points and reputation.”
“Understood.” Fang Heng nodded and took the identity card.
Accepting the commission required providing a points deposit. Failing would result in deductions from the points and reputation.
To save points, Fang Heng chose a commission without failure penalties. Even if unsuccessful, it would only slightly impact his completion rate.
“Let’s go!” Fang Heng took the central elevator to the 37th floor.
The entire 37th level was dedicated to alchemy commission-related rooms.
Fang Heng swiped his identity card and entered Room No. 3723.
“Buzz…”
As Fang Heng stepped in, the room lit up.
A phantom of a magical array appeared on the floor.
“This is quite high-tech…” Fang Heng observed the magic array and murmured.
An electronic magical array layout.
No need for manual carving, it could be designed using an electronic interface.
The electronic version recorded every change and sequence made to the magic array.
Approaching the magic array, Fang Heng inspected the three magic arrays on the floor.
As per the mission assignment description, the client needed to make some basic modifications to the magic array so that it could teleport and adapt energy between two large magic arrays.
The client had designed one but found an 80% energy loss after passing through the middle magic array.
“Just as I suspected, a minor issue…”
Fang Heng quickly assessed the situation.
He had prepared in advance, feeling more confident after seeing the magic array.
This was because solving a problem required mastering the corresponding skill.
It was also called skill adaptation.
Most alchemy players lacked the adaptability needed for generic solutions.
For instance, the current array needed knowledge in Occult, alchemy, spatial science, and elemental science to solve.
It demanded more than just foundational scholarly levels.
Otherwise… It wasn’t impossible to overcome, but it required numerous time-consuming attempts, similar to trial and error.
Repeated trials. With no luck, it could take a while. Fortunately, Fang Heng was here to tackle it.
He might not have been an expert in everything, but Fang Heng knew a bit about most academics.
Combined with the omniscient eyes.
Fang Heng stood before the magic array, the reflection of its rapid spin appeared in his right eye.
“Simple…”
Fang Heng swiftly found a solution. He grabbed the electronic alchemy brush from the table, stood in place, and directly modified the electronic magic array on the floor.
Most of the magic array vanished by Fang Heng, leaving only a basic outline.
Fresh patterns were swiftly added.
Because no physical arrangement was needed, merely proposing a solution, completing the mission assignment turned out to be more convenient than Fang Heng anticipated.
In under five minutes, the magic array had been transformed.
Fang Heng flicked the electronic alchemy brush back onto the table. He glanced up at the corner monitor and said, “Mission submitted.”
An electronic voice echoed in the room.
“The player has submitted a mission commission. The mission publisher has been notified for appraisal. Preliminary confirmation feedback will be provided within 12 hours. Upon feedback, the player will receive 30% of the reward. Full points will be granted within 48 hours post-verification.”
“A reminder: Failure in verification will result in a deduction from the deposit and a decrease in your credibility points. Please be mindful.”
“If dissatisfied with verification results, you can file a complaint at the service desk.”
“Looks like it’s going to take some time for the results. “Fang He thought and shrugged.
“Let’s wait.”
He was highly confident in the alchemy magic array he had devised.
It was just a medium-difficulty magic array.
With a reward of only 220 points.
Even if it was as small as a mosquito, it was still worth something.
“Let’s go! Onward with the points farming!”
Fang Heng, in high spirits, returned to the assignment office on the third level and continued to search for similar missions.
This time, he had experience.
After scanning through the list, he accepted all the missions that had lower penalties for failure, as long as he felt confident, he could complete them.
