Chapter 120: Starting Side Quests
"Oh? A side quest? Tell me about it~"
[There's too much, host. You'll have to read it yourself. There are dozens of pages already...]
The system directly opens the task interface; select the side quest.
When Bai Mengran saw this, she exclaimed, "My God!"
(⊙0⊙)？
"Excuse me, is this a collection of 100,000 small tasks? Who could possibly come up with so many tasks?!"
The system remained silent, silently replying in its mind: "Yours~"
Bai Mengran couldn't help but wonder, just how much does the System Administration love writing tasks? They even wrote so many side quests specifically for her system.
How much free time do they have...?
However, upon closer inspection, she did make a valuable discovery.
Get rich, get rich!
I was surprised to find so many easy points-giving tasks!
"System, I'd like to ask, what's the maximum number of side quests I can accept at the same time?"
[Host, please view the list of accepted tasks on the right. There are ten slots in total, and theoretically, you can accept a maximum of ten tasks at the same time...]
However, I discovered a bug!
When it came to its own cleverness and wit, the system got really excited, and even its tone of voice became arrogant.
If you have already accepted ten tasks, and you find that a task not in your task list is about to be completed...
HiaHia~ I discovered that I can cancel one of the tasks I've already accepted and then quickly accept the new task that's about to be completed.
This way, it will be included in the task list, and you can get a reward once it's completed!
Then you can simply reclaim the canceled task.
Since the system discovered that it could cancel and relinquish tasks it had already been assigned, this discovery has kept it busy and happy!
My eyes are constantly busy, keeping a close eye on that huge pile of unaccepted tasks to see if any are about to be completed; the task list keeps changing.
Although it's a bit troublesome, this way you can basically ensure that you don't miss any task rewards.
Completing one more task means earning 10 more points!
Was that just an ordinary 10 points? No! That was its destiny!!!
"Pfft! Tongbao, so you... you've been exploiting loopholes like this all along? No wonder you've gotten so many passive rewards, looks like you're the mastermind behind it all~"
Bai Mengran understood the system's shady tactics and could imagine the system's greedy image of not letting go of any task rewards, which made her laugh just thinking about it.
[Ahem, shh—]
[Host, you have to keep this a secret! After all, we're in the same boat!]
"Haha, don't worry, I won't sell it to you! But Commander, don't you get tired of constantly transferring missions back and forth like this?"
[Not tired at all! Host, you need to know, that's light! It's hope! It's skin! It's everything!]
It was created specifically for accumulating points!
"Okay, okay, I get it, you're just a points fanatic!"
But we complement each other perfectly; after all, I'm a mission fanatic—no, I mean a reward fanatic!
Bai Mengran was able to immerse herself in the joy of completing tasks and receiving rewards, while also earning points for her system...
Isn't this a win-win situation that kills two birds with one stone, a perfect match, achieves two goals with one effort, and gets twice the result with half the effort?
So what are you waiting for?
"Let's get started on the quests!"
[Alright! Host, fly, and I'll follow!]
Which mission does the host intend to undertake?
"Let's go grind the map, that's easy!"
Bai Mengran saw that there were side quests that could be completed simply by unlocking the map. What difference was there between this and getting free points?
"By the way, Commander, cancel a few of the tasks that can't be completed for now. This afternoon, let's not do anything but grind dungeons to earn points and get rewards!"
【Host is brilliant! I'll take care of this.】
The system quickly cleared several empty slots in the task list, and I can now accept new tasks.
"Alright, Captain, keep an eye on things for me for a bit. There are so many side quests, I'm afraid I might miss one. We absolutely can't miss a single one!"
Don't worry, host, I'm good at this!
"Okay, Commander, accept that side quest to the nearby town first!"
Bai Mengran had just finished speaking.
[Ding, Side Quest 5: Unlock new map (Sifang Town)]
Task Reward: 5000 System Coins.
"This is it! Sifang Town, here I come!"
Bai Mengran quickly ordered a cheese peach drink to take on the way, and released her koi fish mount right there in the villa. She even made sure it "appeared" in her own home to see what it actually looked like.
As a result, I was almost blinded by the golden light. The koi was surrounded by shimmering gold, so bright and sparkling that it seemed to have crossed a dimensional barrier.
Although she was stunningly beautiful, the sight of her suddenly appearing in her own living room was quite shocking to Bai Mengran, leaving her with a strange sense of incongruity.
She quickly restored it to "invisibility"...
Hmm, the hazy, semi-transparent beauty is still more acceptable.
After mounting her steed alone, Bai Mengran opened the map and locked the navigation to [Sifang Town].
Take off directly from the spot...
The koi-shaped mount flashed with light, and in the next instant, it appeared outside the [Fairyland], soaring upwards and flying straight towards the direction of Sifang Town...
Feeling bored being alone in the air, Bai Mengran took out an iPad that she had stored in her mind's bag beforehand, flipped the protective case over to use it as a stand, and then placed it on the flat surface where the koi's head was.
Holding a cup of fruit tea in one hand, he leisurely watched a TV series he had downloaded in advance on his iPad while high in the air.
At the most amusing parts, bursts of silvery laughter even rang out...
The system, watching this scene from behind the scenes, felt something was off... The host really is... easygoing!
Seven or eight minutes later, the koi carp had already circled in the airspace above Sifang Town.
Seeing that it had stopped flying, Bai Mengran double-tap the iPad screen to pause the TV series, then stood up and glanced down.
"Commander, have we arrived at our destination? Can we consider the mission complete?"
system:【……】
Okay, I knew you might be lazy, but I didn't expect you to be this lazy...
So, does the host mean he's planning to complete the mission from the sky?
Seeing that it didn't make a sound, Bai Mengran assumed it hadn't heard her and continued to ask questions.
"System, where are you? Why aren't you saying anything? Look, I've already arrived in Sifang Town!"
The system is caught in a dilemma.
Perhaps, maybe, maybe...
Once we're in the sky, it should be considered like unlocking a new map, right?
After all, looking down from the sky is much clearer than looking from the ground...
The entire Sifang Town is now in sight, isn't it?
At this moment, the system suddenly noticed that the green dot next to the task lit up, which meant that the task review had actually been approved!
It quickly regained its voice and excitedly broadcast it to its host.
[Ding, congratulations host, Side Quest 5: Unlocking the new map (Sifang Town) has been completed.]
Reward received: 5000 System Coins.
