After reading the contents of the legendary quest, Su Xiao became very interested in it. Although only one of the three quest rewards could be seen, a reward that could raise his Void Tree reputation from -??? to 0 was already extremely generous.
After Su Xiao's Void Tree reputation reached -???, it had risen twice before, and by quite a bit at that. However, his -??? reputation had shown no reaction at all, which made it clear just how deep the negative value was.
The fact that this quest could raise it to 0 spoke for itself. As for whether this meant his Void Tree reputation could be salvaged, Su Xiao did not think so.
Based on his long experience of losing Void Tree reputation, he had discovered that it actually had two layers. One was the value displayed on the surface, while the other was a hidden value.
The displayed value was the -??? figure. The unseen value was similar to a hidden reputation value, and it was likely calculated as a percentage.
Suppose Morey's hidden reputation value was 80%. If she gained Void Tree reputation, and hypothetically received 100 points, she would get the basic 100 points plus 100 × 85%, for a total of 185 points.
Su Xiao's hidden reputation value was clearly negative. Thus, if he originally lost 50 points of Void Tree reputation, the improvement from his hidden reputation value would turn it into a basic -50 × 10 = -500 points.
Under such circumstances, even if his Void Tree reputation recovered to 0, once he was punished by the Void Tree again, his reputation would plummet.
Did that mean the reward for raising his Void Tree reputation from -??? to 0 was useless? Of course not. Even with his Void Tree reputation at -???,
