[Ding! Congratulations on unlocking EX-level talent — Traveler]
Chen Luo unlocked his talent after completing a thousand daily small commissions.
After unlocking talent, completing commissions will be rewarded, including raw stones and skill rewards.
[Household Item Mastery], [100% Unarmed to Blade], [100% Foxes Returning Favors]...
As Chen Luo completed more and more commissions, he acquired more and more strange skills.
However, Chen Luo could still accept his skills being strange; what troubled him most was that some people's commission rewards were becoming increasingly bizarre...
Mobius, you want me to study with you? Fine! But why is the reward a memory chip?
Ganyu, you want me to work overtime with you? No problem, but why is the special reward a Qiqi? Where did you get it?
"The commission rewards they give are really getting weirder and weirder!" Chen Luo complained while playing with the pink-haired fox he picked up.
Volume 1 (Chapters 1-2000)
Chapter 1 Talent Awakening — Traveler (EX-level)
"Chen Luo, Chen the Great Philanthropist, can you help me? I need these paper stars tonight, but I really don't have time. Can you fold a few for me?" A girl smiled and piled the pre-cut strips of paper in various colors in front of Chen Luo.
Although she asked, she didn't seem embarrassed at all, as if she didn't think he would refuse.
"Okay," Chen Luo nodded lightly.
"Thanks." After the girl gave a perfunctory thanks, she quickly returned to her seat.
"I say, don't you know how to refuse people? The next class is with our homeroom teacher. If she finds out you're folding little stars during class, be careful you don't get your parents called," Chen Luo's deskmate said lazily, leaning on her desk and stretching her beautiful curves.
"As long as we don't get caught, right?" Chen Luo, sitting by the window, propped his chin and looked at the pile of paper strips.
This huge pile of paper strips didn't look like "a few" at all.
"No wonder everyone calls you Chen the Great Philanthropist, you really are..."
Chen Luo's deskmate had tried to refuse these requests for Chen Luo before, but the key was that Chen Luo himself never refused.
"The subordinates are ready to fight to the death, why does His Majesty want to rebel?"
"You're too bad, actually asking Chen Luo to help you fold them. Didn't you say that birthday gifts for boyfriends like these should be folded by yourself to be sincere enough?" The girl who returned to her seat whispered to her deskmate.
"Please, you know I'm all thumbs. It's the last class now, and tomorrow is his birthday. Where do I have time?" The girl shot her deskmate a glare.
"Then fold them tonight?"
"Don't I have to catch up on dramas at night? Fine, anyway, Chen Luo doesn't care, so why should you? He's Chen the Great Philanthropist, always willing to help his classmates."
"That's what you say..."
"Ring ring!"
The bell rang for class. The history teacher, who was also the homeroom teacher, walked into the classroom. The previously noisy class instantly fell silent.
Chen Luo tilted his head, folding the little stars in his hands, and stared blankly in the direction of the homeroom teacher.
While it looked like he was spacing out, a closer look would reveal that Chen Luo's eyes were focused on a certain spot in front of him.
But unfortunately, it was the homeroom teacher's class, and no one dared to look around.
It would be fatal.
99.9%
"Damn it, what kind of trash talent is this? It has to get stuck at 99.9%, is it trying to make me uncomfortable?" Chen Luo sighed, looking at the number floating in front of him, while folding the little stars.
"I hope this talent doesn't turn out to be a 'helping others' talent after awakening, or I'll go crazy."
While complaining inwardly, Chen Luo also thought about the tragic story behind his title, Chen the Great Philanthropist.
"And that person, since it's a birthday gift for her boyfriend, you should fold it yourself. Why give it to me? I'm not your boyfriend." Chen Luo had excellent hearing and heard the girl's quiet mumbling.
But despite his complaints, Chen Luo endured it for the sake of his talent awakening.
This talent awakening interface, which had appeared before him inexplicably one day, had been hovering in front of Chen Luo's eyes for who knows how long. If he had to trace it back, it would only be to when the title "Chen the Great Philanthropist" started to spread.
In short, the moment Chen Luo casually threw out a bag of trash for someone, the talent awakening interface jumped forward by 0.1%, and Chen Luo knew he was in for a lot of work.
Good heavens! Is this thing going to make me do 1000 acts of kindness?
Who would want to do this kind of work? I certainly wouldn't... Forget it, for the sake of that unknown talent, I'll endure it for now.
However, Chen Luo later discovered that it wasn't necessarily 1000 acts of kindness that were required.
Because sometimes, even if you do something, people might not acknowledge it, and it wouldn't count.
Of course, there was also good news: if the favor you helped with was very important, it wouldn't just increase the progress by 0.1%.
For example, when he saw someone bullying a classmate in the restroom, he directly dipped a mop in feces, swept it all around, and taught the other person this ultimate skill, which directly increased his progress by 0.25%.
Although these 1,000 good deeds sound like they could be completed in a short time, in reality, it wasn't that easy at all.
Because sometimes, you might be lucky to encounter just one such event in a whole day.
After all, Chen Luo was still a student. He didn't have that much free time to help others; he had to study.
Chen Luo didn't know how much of his own free time he had sacrificed to successfully reach 99.9%.
When he had stacked 66 small stars, to the point where Chen Luo's hands were trembling, all the small slips of paper had been used up.
Under Chen Luo's expectant gaze, the last sliver of the progress bar instantly filled up.
"I told you, the Wei Jin Southern and Northern Dynasties was a chaotic era, not a good one!"
"No, the Wei Jin Southern and Northern Dynasties were absurd and beautiful."
"In that dynasty, boys could be considered beautiful for their gentleness, and girls could go to the battlefield! Boys and boys could also..."
"Bang!" Chen Luo's head slammed onto the desk.
"Sun Lian! Look at you, you've angered our classmate Chen Luo!" the young history teacher, who had applied a light touch of makeup, said as she pointed at Chen Luo, who had smashed his head on the desk and hadn't gotten up yet.
"???" Sun Lian was completely baffled.
She was being blamed for this?
"Are you alright, Chen Luo?" the history teacher asked Chen Luo with concern.
But even before the history teacher, Chen Luo's deskmate was concerned.
"Chen Luo, are you okay?"
"I-I'm fine. I just suddenly have a headache." Chen Luo clutched his head and slightly raised his hand, indicating he was still alive.
"It's good that you're fine. Sun Lian, have your parents call me later. Look at how upset you've made him." The history teacher glared at Sun Lian.
Sun Lian was called by her parents, still baffled, and then, still baffled, she accepted a bucket of small stars that Chen Luo had secretly passed over.
Could this... could this be because she made him stack small stars that caused him to have a headache?
Since she was in the wrong, Sun Lian didn't retort and could only suffer in silence.
The history teacher resumed the lecture. Chen Luo rubbed his head while listening to the voice in his mind.
[Ding! Talent awakening progress bar is full, awakening talent.]
[Ding! Congratulations on obtaining the EX-level talent — Traveler.]
[As someone who is unwilling to settle for mediocrity, you will eventually embark on a journey, travel the world, and explore unknown territories. You are born a traveler, destined not to stay in one place for long; not even the world can hold you forever. Your helpfulness will bring you unexpected surprises.]
Chapter 2: [Give Treasure a Home] ???
"Traveler? It doesn't sound like a very powerful talent. Does it mean the more you run around the world, the stronger you get? Although I'm not very satisfied, at least it's not a talent for helping people." Looking at this seemingly profound but unclear talent, Chen Luo finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although this Traveler talent sounded ordinary, it was better than forcing Chen Luo to help others.
While it was called helping others, Chen Luo felt like he was just a tool.
Chen Luo wasn't saying that helping others was bad, but constantly bestowing kindness would make those around him take it for granted.
Chen Luo understood the saying "a pint of favors earns a peck of gratitude, but a gallon of favors earns a mountain of resentment."
However, as he began to examine his Traveler interface, Chen Luo froze again because he saw something that looked terrifying.
[Commission List]
Damn it, isn't this still helping people?
Son of a bitch!
Chen Luo's Traveler interface had a total of 4 main options.
[Main Interface]
[Commission List]
[Friends]
[Backpack]
There were other options besides these four, but they were all blacked out, and he couldn't even see their names clearly.
Before Chen Luo could look at anything else, the sight of the Commission List gave him a headache.
[Commission List]
(Helping others is a good virtue. Good deeds receive good rewards. Kindly helping others during your travels will often bring you unexpected surprises.)
Although this list made his heart skip a beat, Chen Luo was fortunate that there was nothing in this commission list at the moment.
In the [Main Interface], there was a small 3D model of Chen Luo, with various data displayed below it.
Name: Chen Luo
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Title: Chen the Great Philanthropist (Gold): As a good person, you gain others' trust more easily and receive more commissions.
Health: 100%
Raw Stones: 0
Seeing this, Chen Luo's face darkened. What the heck, are good people just meant to be bossed around? Are good people just meant to be tools?
[Friends]
0/50
Erm, is this mocking me for having no friends?
I have friends too, okay? Although very few.
My friends are few, but their quality is high.
Finally, there was the Backpack, which Chen Luo anticipated the most.
Sigh, Backpacks, Chen Luo knows about these things. Isn't it just storage space? It's like this in games.
Which game's backpack can't hold things? Is a backpack that can't hold things still called a backpack?
And by universal common sense, with something like a backpack, there should be some beginner's gift package when the system first opens, right?
A system without a beginner's gift package, is that still a system?
Chen Luo clicked into the Backpack interface with excitement, and then... and then he found nothing.
