Crossing paths with characters from the original story could greatly increase the chances of receiving a reward from Perception.
But rather than crossing paths, it was more about establishing a particular relationship.
His fights with Hisoka and Illumi had been matters of life and death, leaving no room for carelessness.
That was a relationship between enemies.
Because those battles involved life and death and were extremely difficult, the rewards were exceptionally generous once the conditions had been met.
Taking Menchi as his apprentice now meant that he had established a master-apprentice relationship with her.
Since doing so was relatively easy, the reward had not been as good as he had expected.
Not that it was bad. Gaining one level in Zetsu was equivalent to one or two months of diligent training at his current stage.
In other words, Moyu had gained one or two months' worth of training for free in less than ten minutes.
Moreover, Zetsu was a prerequisite for the advanced application technique In, so its importance went without saying.
If his level in In became high enough, his Shadow Copy might eventually gain a form of invisibility, or partial invisibility, which would be extremely valuable tactically.

Neither getting brutally beaten during combat training nor spending a month together in a hotel room had triggered a reward from Perception.
Looking at it now, that was because he had
