Liu Feng
The way she looked at me felt weird. It was like she wanted to say something, but she didn't. And I didn't want to press on.
I took a deep breath as I looked at the young lady behind the counter.
"What is the mission?" I asked.
"You must go to Pill Tower in the Yunir City, and must assist the alchemists. There are bandits in the area, and it is imperative that you must protect them from the bandits." the young lady said.
"And how many contribution points can I get?" I asked.
"20 contribution points."
"I should be able to get a few herbs for that much. Got it. How do we leave the sect though. The Black Swamp Forest surrounds the sect, and I am not strong enough to leave on my own."
"This is your first mission, isn't it? You will see. Go upstairs." the young lady smiled.
"Upstairs? What is there?" I raised my eyebrow. I looked at where she pointed. There were indeed stairs that I completely did not notice.
"Let's get going. I would rather leave now than encounter Hong Jimin." Cai Lien said in a hurry.
"Whatever you say." I shrugged.
Both of us headed up the stairs. That was when I realized that the Missions hall did not have a second floor. At the least, one that was visible to everyone.
And it was true. The stairs were filled with people who were walking to the terrace, which was open. And once I got to the top of the staircase, I could finally see why they were coming here.
And boy did this sight shock me.
Roar!
I heard monsters growl and birds screech. And none of these monsters were normal, and none of them were smaller than a few meters long. Every single one of them had wings, and their purpose was quite obvious.
"The Sky Heavens sect has its own beast taming section? With this many beasts?" I exclaimed.
[Loading 20%]
A blue screen popped up. It closed almost immediately, but I knew that something was up.
[Changing scenario. Altering scenario to make mission more suitable to Host's current strength. Scenario Altered.]
[New Story Quest. Kill Yurian Gale.
Location - Pill Tower
Time Limit - Three Months
Reward - Increase of two levels
Penalty - Termination of System]
My eyes widened. The penalty shocked me. For the first time, I understood that the chance of me losing my system existed. And this hit me hard.
"What happened to you? Why do you look so shocked?" Cai Lien brought me back to reality.
"Have you ever heard of someone called Yurian Gale?" I asked.
"Yurian Gale? Who is that? What kind of name is that? I wonder who names their child so funnily." Cai Lien chuckled.
"She is right. The names that I have encountered are different from the ones on Earth. This seems so much like a western name." I also agreed with her.
"Let us go. There is rarely a steed left. We must get one as fast as we can. Or else, the seniors will take one away from us." Cai Lien said as she ran forward.
She showed her identity token to the person clearly in charge. He glanced at her, and then me and went to the back.
"Will this beast take us to Yunir City? Or just outside the sect?" I asked.
"To Yunir City, of course. What the hell were you doing the last one month? I heard rumors, but is it true that you actually got imprisoned for offending a deacon?" she asked.
"That's what you hear? What the hell are you talking about? After the whole incident, that is the only thing that you heard?" I asked.
"What do you mean? Every single disciple from the Outer sect was aghast at how angry the deacon was at you. They say that he almost killed you. And then, an elder intervened and stopped the situation from escalating." Cai Lien said with the most innocent expression.
"What about master and the second elder fighting? What about the part where the white robed man enters? What about that whole part? You must be kidding me! Did they manage to erase the memories of the disciples?" I was just shocked.
"Your beast is ready. This is your first mission, so I think that this is your first time riding a tamed beast. As long as you do not offend it, it will not offend you." the man that Cai Lien talked to came to us.
"Offend it? Is it a spirit beast?" I asked.
"Of course. Do you think that we are some stupid third rate sect? We only use spirit beasts that can understand us. And in turn, we have to respect them. If one of the new disciples is stupid enough to disrepect a beast, then there were incidents where the disciples were never heard of again." the man said.
"I understand. Is there any etiquette that needs to be followed?"
"Not that you need to know of. Just don't treat it like your pet. Treat it like a senior who is taking you to another place." the man said.
We looked at the spirit beast that we were supposed to mount. It was behind the man, and yet silent all this time.
"A tiger with wings? How peculiar." I thought to myself. I did not dare voice my thought out loud. If I offended it the wrong way, then I would get into trouble.
Ping!
[Host is warned. Host must not take this mission lightly. If Host fails this story quest, then Host will face severe consequences.]
The system buzzed again.
"What is wrong? Why the hell is the system so serious all of a sudden? Why do I need to kill this Yurian Gale?" I muttered.
