Level 3 Upgrade, Task System, and Wish Function Unlocked

That night, in the Shrek Academy dormitory, Tang San slowly stirred from his unconscious state.

An unfamiliar ceiling.

On the bed next to him, a bearded youth was fast asleep, drool hanging from the corner of his mouth.

He froze for a moment before realizing he was already at Shrek.

He sat up and rubbed the back of his aching head, his first thought being to go find Xiao Wu.

But when he arrived at the girls' dormitory, he found it completely empty.

He had no choice but to turn and look for Dai Mubai; when he knocked on the door, Dai Mubai was just about to head out.

"Tang San? You're awake? Looking for Xiao Wu and the others? Too bad, they just went into Suotuo City to go shopping."

Tang San was speechless upon hearing this.

Xiao Wu had actually gone shopping, leaving him alone in the dormitory without a second thought.

He shook his head helplessly and returned to his room alone, though his heart was filled with confusion.

Xiao Wu had been acting far too strangely today.

During the assessment, she hadn't listened to his instructions at all, and had even teamed up with the other two girls to use him as a punching bag.

Although they had managed to pass the assessment in the end, the feeling of being kept in the dark and used left him feeling very displeased.

Still, she was his little sister after all; perhaps she hadn't meant to do it. Forget it, just forget it.

On the other side, in the bustling night market of Suotuo City.

Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing were happily weaving through the various shops.

"Boss, this, this, and that one too—we'll take them all!"

Ning Rongrong waved her small hand, fully displaying the grand air of a young lady from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

The three of them sampled various snacks while filming videos to share in the group chat.

[Pagoda Suppresses River Demon: @All Members, sisters look, the Suotuo City night market is so much fun! [Video]]

In the video, the three youthful and beautiful girls were smiling like flowers, with the bustling street in the background.

[I Am Not Yanzi: Wow! The stuff at that stall on the side looks so delicious! I'm crying with envy!]

[Begonia Blossoms: You guys are having so much fun, I want to go too.]

[Heavenly King Covers Earth Fox: Hmph, what's the big deal? The night market in our Martial Soul City is much more prosperous than that.]

Just as the group was filled with an atmosphere of envy, jealousy, and hatred, a familiar nickname suddenly popped up.

[Galaxy Baseball Bat Hero: @All Members, everyone, get online immediately. Stop lurking.]

[Galaxy Baseball Bat Hero: The group chat is about to upgrade.]

As soon as these words appeared, all the lurking members were instantly flushed out.

[Most Beautiful Pope: Oh?]

[6G Sky Wing: Upgrade?]

[Fire-Breathing Dragon: What kind of tricks are you pulling now?]

In an instant, the avatars of everyone in the group lit up; not a single person was absent.

[Ding! Expectation emotion points from Pagoda Suppresses River Demon +80]

[Ding! Surprise emotion points from Heavenly King Covers Earth Fox +100]

[Ding! Curiosity emotion points from Most Beautiful Pope +120]

[...]

Ye Qiong watched the emotion points rising steadily in the background and smiled with satisfaction.

[Galaxy Baseball Bat Hero: Everyone here? Very good.]

[Galaxy Baseball Bat Hero: The upgrade countdown begins now!]

[Galaxy Baseball Bat Hero: Ten!]

Everyone's heart tightened along with the numbers, their eyes glued to their screens.

[Galaxy Baseball Bat Hero: Nine!]

[Galaxy Baseball Bat Hero: Three!]

[Galaxy Baseball Bat Hero: Two!]

[Galaxy Baseball Bat Hero: One!]

Everyone held their breath, waiting to see what would happen next.

[Galaxy Baseball Bat Hero: Zero!]

The moment Ye Qiong counted down to zero, a dazzling golden light erupted before everyone's eyes.

[Ding! Congratulations, Douluo Chat Group has leveled up to LV3!]

[Ding! New feature "Mission System" has been unlocked!]

[Ding! New feature "Wish Gacha" has been unlocked!]

As the light faded, the group announcement automatically refreshed, and two brand-new module icons appeared on everyone's screen interface.

One was labeled "Mission," and the other "Wish."

[First Cute Bunny: Wow, Golden Legend.JPG.]

Curious, everyone tapped on the mission module, and lines of clear rules appeared before them.

[Mission Rules:]

[1. The mission wall will refresh periodically. All members may claim missions; first come, first served.]

[2. Successful missions grant "Stellar Jades" and other random rewards; failed missions grant no rewards.]

[3. High-risk missions carry a direct death penalty; please choose carefully.]

[4. Missions are divided into three categories: Challenge Missions (high-risk, issued by the system or group members), Adventure Missions (issued by the system), and Commission Missions (requests issued by group members).]

After reading the rules, everyone tapped on the "Wish" module.

A gorgeous gacha interface appeared in the center of the screen, displaying a dazzling array of prizes.

Soul rings, soul bones, medicinal pills, weapons, items... everything one could imagine.

[Wish Rules:]

[Each wish costs 160 Stellar Jades. A 3-star (blue) reward is guaranteed; a 4-star (purple) or higher reward is guaranteed every ten wishes; a 5-star (gold) reward is guaranteed every sixty wishes.]

[First Cute Bunny: Oh my god! Can you really pull soul rings and soul bones?!]

[I Am Not Yanzi: If you pulled a hundred-thousand-year soul ring, wouldn't you just take off?]

[Most Beautiful Pope: ...]

Bibi Dong stared at the screen, her crimson eyes flickering with an unprecedented light.

This feature was, as expected, lethally attractive to her.

The three girls remembered their previous agreement and hurriedly @Ye Qiong in the group.

[Pagoda Suppresses River Demon: @Galaxy Baseball Bat Hero, Brother Group Owner, what is your commission mission? We'll take it right now!]

[Galaxy Baseball Bat Hero: Don't be impatient. My mission isn't simple. You should familiarize yourselves with the system first and practice with some easier missions; there's no rush.]

No sooner had Ye Qiong finished speaking than the mission wall interface refreshed, listing rows of tasks.

[Challenge Mission: Slay a 90,000-year soul beast. Reward: 6400 Stellar Jades.]

The mission hadn't even been up for a second before it was snatched away.

[System Notification: "Most Beautiful Pope" has accepted the Challenge Mission.]

[I Am Not Yanzi: Holy crap! Your Holiness the Pope's hand speed is way too fast!]

[Heavenly King Covers Earth Fox: Teacher is mighty!]

The other missions were also quickly divided up, with Hu Liena, Qian Renxue, and the others all securing tasks suited to them.

Looking at the remaining list, the three girls also found missions that fit them.

[Adventure Mission: Achieve ten consecutive solo victories at the Great Soul Arena. Reward: 800 Stellar Jades.]

Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing exchanged a glance and quickly accepted the mission.

As for Ning Rongrong, being a support-type, the two of them left a more suitable task for her.

[Adventure Mission: Support a 2v2 team above level twenty to achieve three consecutive victories at the Great Soul Arena. Reward: 800 Stellar Jades.]

Eight hundred Stellar Jades was just enough for five wish pulls.

Although it couldn't compare to Bibi Dong's 6,400, it was quite decent for novices like them.

[Galaxy Baseball Bat Hero: Very well. Since everyone has received their beginner missions, I wish you all success.]

Watching the satisfied group, Ye Qiong typed another line.

[Galaxy Baseball Bat Hero: However, before you begin your missions, allow me to reveal one more new piece of information.]

Everyone was shocked, all asking what it was.

[Galaxy Baseball Bat Hero: This matter concerns...]
