"Even if it's been opened, so what? Does that mean a Heavenly Dao-level mission can't be completed?" I looked thoroughly depressed, though inwardly I cursed myself for being too quick with my hands and feet. If I'd known, I would have let Shengtu Wushuang open it.
"It's not that nothing happens. Whoever opens the mission must complete it. Otherwise, in the Shengtu Household's territory, their reputation will certainly suffer. If they want to accept other missions later, they'll have to pay off the debt first. Usually, those who accidentally accept missions far beyond their own strength can't complete them. They either take low-level missions to repay the debt, leave the Shengtu Household altogether, or start dabbling in gray missions." Shengtu Wushuang smiled.
"Repay the debt? Also, what are gray missions?" I hurriedly asked.
"Look at the number on the seal at the bottom of the mission document." Shengtu Wushuang pointed at the number stamped onto the seal beneath the document. It read "ten thousand," written in golden characters, which inevitably aroused my curiosity.
"Ten thousand?" I asked.
"Exactly. The lowest-level missions are counted as one. Mission levels are measured by numbers such as one, ten, one hundred, and one thousand. Anything above ten thousand is a Heavenly Dao mission. If you fail to complete this mission, ten thousand points will be deducted. So if you abandon this mission but still want to continue accepting others, you'll have to complete ten thousand of the lowest-level missions to make up the deduction before you can regain the full reward." Shengtu Wushuang explained.
"What do you mean by the full reward?" I hurriedly asked.
"You owe ten thousand. After completing the lowest-level missions, you can receive one ten-thousandth of the reward. As you make more mission contributions, the proportion you receive will rise
