Hidden Mission

Jiang Chen, however, was listening intently.

He opened his mouth and asked, "What's wrong with her?"

"She's your sister, you've spent the most time with her since you were little. What's wrong with her, and you don't know, yet you ask me?"

Zhang Banxian said, and began to prepare to meditate.

There was only one bed, and it was very small.

As the junior, he had no reason to let his martial uncle sleep on the floor.

Jiang Chen thought for a moment and asked, "During the day, did she say anything?"

Zhang Banxian had already sat down cross-legged. Hearing Jiang Chen's question, he replied, "During the day, your sister seemed to say that the school was going to have a parent-teacher conference soon, as it's almost mid-term."

Mentioning the parent-teacher conference brought a pang of sadness to Jiang Chen's heart.

Xiao Lan had been an orphan since she was little, so naturally, she had no parents.

Her only relative was Jiang Chen.

But Jiang Chen was also a student.

He had classes during the day, and he got home very late after school.

Every time Xiao Lan's class had a parent-teacher conference.

Jiang Chen had never been able to attend as a parent.

This led to Xiao Lan always being told by her classmates that she was a child with no parents and no relatives.

Thinking about this, Jiang Chen made a decision.

So, he opened his mouth and asked, "Did Xiao Lan say when this parent-teacher conference is?"

Zhang Banxian thought for a moment and replied, "The day after tomorrow at 4:30 PM."

The day after tomorrow at 4:30 PM. This time, Jiang Chen decided he had to be there, no matter what.

He wanted to let everyone in the class know that even though Xiao Lan had no parents, she had the best brother in the world.

Jiang Chen looked at Zhang Banxian, who had already entered his meditative state, and said, "How about you sleep in my bed, and I'll sleep on a chair in the living room?"

"No need, I basically spend my nights meditating."

Seeing Zhang Banxian's insistence, Jiang Chen didn't say anything further.

He lay back down on the bed, watching the ceiling, and gradually fell asleep.

In his dream, Jiang Chen returned to his inner world.

He saw Omniscience, standing alone on a tall building.

Standing in the distance, facing the wind.

"What's so good about the distance?"

Jiang Chen asked, a little curious.

In his eyes, the distance was a blurry, indistinct void, with no end in sight.

"I don't know, but I always want to see it clearly."

Omniscience said, then sat down. A bottle of cola appeared in its hand from who knows when. It tossed it to Jiang Chen, "Here!"

Looking at the cola in his hand, Jiang Chen didn't know how long it had been since he last drank one.

In this world invaded by demons, just surviving was good enough.

Things like cola simply didn't exist.

Jiang Chen opened the cap and took a satisfying sip.

He savored it as if it were nectar from the heavens.

"You're quite a strange person!"

Omniscience glanced at Jiang Chen and said, "It's just a bottle of drink, and you're drinking it so cherishly."

"This was my favorite drink in my previous life."

After finishing the can, Jiang Chen threw the empty bottle into the distance.

He then asked, "Is there any more?"

"You're not drinking real cola, it's just an illusion."

"What a pity!"

Jiang Chen felt a bit regretful. Such a delicious thing, and it turned out not to be real, just an illusion.

However, he didn't dwell on it.

He asked, "Omniscience, you didn't call me here just to treat me to cola, did you?"

"Yes!"

"I have other things to discuss with you!"

Omniscience stood not far from Jiang Chen and spoke.

"What is it?"

"It's about the Super S-Class demonic beast."

Omniscience got straight to the point and said, "Your Soul Power just recovered significantly, so I took the opportunity to check the information on this Super S-Class demonic beast."

"See if there's anything useful."

"Okay!"

As soon as Jiang Chen finished speaking, more memories appeared in his mind.

These memories surprised Jiang Chen quite a bit.

He saw many fully formed demonic beasts kneeling before a willow tree of unknown age.

These demonic beasts had all transformed into women and respectfully called out to the black willow tree, "Grandmother!"

Jiang Chen was a little astonished.

He hadn't expected that a Super S-Class demonic beast would have so many S-Class demonic beasts as subordinates.

Eliminating them all would likely be difficult.

However, Jiang Chen didn't really care about the difficulty.

The people from Dragon Tiger Mountain would arrive soon.

With Dragon Tiger Mountain here, what were demonic beasts?

Seeing that Jiang Chen had no awareness of the danger he faced.

Seeing Jiang Chen's calm demeanor, Omniscience assumed he had already thought of a solution.

So, he didn't ask further.

He didn't extract any more Soul Power from Jiang Chen.

After all, what he was about to face was much more dangerous than before.

Every bit of Soul Power he could preserve was worth it.

At this moment, Jiang Chen's system mission refreshed.

Jiang Chen stopped talking.

He focused on the system mission.

Defeat the Super S-Class demonic beast and obtain 100,000 activation points.

Special Reward Mission.

Jiang Chen looked at the mission and thought that this mission was quite interesting.

Thinking this, Jiang Chen said to Omniscience, "If there's nothing else, I'm leaving!"

Without waiting for Omniscience's reply.

Jiang Chen returned to the real world first.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he checked the time.

The time was just right to execute the system's special reward mission.

Thinking this, Jiang Chen got up and saw Zhang Banxian, who had already entered a state of meditation, so he didn't disturb him.

He got out of bed directly, put on his shoes, and used Flash Step to leave through the window.

As soon as he left, Zhang Banxian slowly opened his tightly closed eyes.

Looking at the dark night sky, he wondered, "It's so late, where is Uncle-Master Jiang going?"

"I'll go take a look first."

He then followed Jiang Chen out through the window.

At night, Jiang Chen, under the moonlight, used Flash Step all the way to the Ten Thousand Monster Forest.

This was a place frequently visited by ability users.

On one hand, they could fight demonic beasts to improve their strength, and on the other hand, the outskirts of the forest were filled with low-level demonic beasts.

There wouldn't be any danger.

Moreover, if they obtained demon cores, they could sell them to shops for money.

In the past, before Jiang Chen awakened his Supernatural Ability, he had never been to a place like this.

Now that he had awakened his Supernatural Ability.

This was his first time in the Ten Thousand Monster Forest.

The system mission had just refreshed.

It said that obtaining 100 demon cores would grant 3 lottery chances.

100 demon cores were not difficult for Jiang Chen; what he cared about were the lottery chances.

As long as he could draw a prize, he might get something unexpected.

Jiang Chen looked forward to this.

First, he chose the more difficult, Level 3 magical beast area.

There was a 40% chance of a magic crystal within a Level 3 magical beast.

This was a higher probability than in Level 1 or Level 2 magical beasts.

Jiang Chen wasn't considering Level 4 magical beasts for now.

This was because, at that level, they already possessed their own innate skills.

It took him too much time to kill them.

Arriving at the Level 3 magical beast area.

Jiang Chen, without a word, picked up his Zanpakuto and began to slay.

He was so focused that he didn't notice Zhang Banxian had also arrived.

Zhang Banxian saw that Jiang Chen was actually hunting magical beasts.

He thought, Uncle-Master Jiang is truly diligent.

Even with such profound strength, he still gets up in the middle of the night to practice. I must learn from Uncle-Master Jiang!

He didn't want to disturb Jiang Chen, so he planned to retreat and guard him.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a piercing sound came from deep within the forest
