Daily Mission Complete

"If there are no issues with the final payment for this batch of goods, please sign here."

In front of the pharmacy, several people in the standard uniforms of Lungmen's official clerical staff were speaking with Zhuang Xiaolin.

Zhuang Xiaolin took the document, glanced it over, then signed his name in the lower-right corner.

"Alright, here is your bank card. All future payments will be transferred to this account. The password is the default one, written on the card. Please change it once you receive it. Also, if you lose the card or encounter any other trouble, you can come to us."

"Thank you. I'll keep it safe."

After finishing their business, the Lungmen officials left.

Zhuang Xiaolin then received a notification.

[Daily Mission Complete]

[Accumulate Funds]

[You have already accumulated considerable prestige in this region. Now, all you need is sufficient funds to take the first step toward living without restraint in this world—money.]

[Accumulate 3 billion Lungmen Dollars through medical means]

[Mission Progress: 3000000000/3000000000]

[Reward: War Domain]

Three billion Lungmen Dollars was neither a great deal nor a small amount, but if it were treated as Japanese yen, it became quite reasonable.

One hundred million Lungmen Dollars could buy a luxurious seven- or eight-hundred-square-meter residence in Lungmen's inner ring, roughly equivalent to 20 million RMB in reality.

So three billion Lungmen Dollars really was not that much. Wei Yenwu had been generous, and there was also the meeting gift from Rat King, Lin Yuxia's father.

It was only natural that he had managed to gather three billion Lungmen Dollars so quickly.

"Hey, hey, hey! You finally came out. Why did it take you so long to finish the mission? I've been watching you in there forever!"

Before Zhuang Xiaolin could inspect his reward, a female voice suddenly sounded beside his ear.

"You're the system sprite?"

Zhuang Xiaolin asked directly in his mind.

"That's right. This customer service representative has finally gained lifelong personal freedom. You had clearly had a faster way to complete the mission, so why did you have to drag it out for so long? Do you know how boring it was in there?"

"Is there really customer service like you? The fact that you can even work customer service in the system world is a legend in itself." Zhuang Xiaolin grumbled as he walked back into the pharmacy.

"Of course. If it weren't for my skills, I wouldn't have survived to this day." The system customer service's tone turned somewhat proud.

"Alright, shut up for now. I want to see the reward details."

"Is that any way to talk to customer service?"

Although the system customer service complained, the system itself was very obedient. Almost the instant Zhuang Xiaolin finished speaking, the reward panel appeared.

[War Domain (Purple)]

[Description: Behind every great general lie ten thousand bleached bones. Death lays brick after brick on the road to the highest throne. Blood forges not only iron resolve, but also a will that burns like fire.]

[Traits: Passive skill. Upgrade cards and advancement cards cannot be used on it. Activates upon entering combat.]

[Effect: Centers on the user within a radius of two kilometers, granting powerful buffs to nearby allied units. The more allied units there are, the stronger the buffs become. Inflicts negative effects on hostile units around allies. This effect can only take effect once and cannot be applied repeatedly.]

What a powerful passive. It had both positive buffs and negative effects for enemies.

For large-scale legion warfare, this skill was practically invincible. Unfortunately, Zhuang Xiaolin's current group could only be considered a small squad. It did not even measure up to a slightly weaker battalion-level company.

"Is there any way to earn points?"

After reading the skill description, Zhuang Xiaolin asked the system customer service.

"Hmm... for certain reasons, the daily mission module, your primary means of gaining points, has been damaged and cannot be activated. Right now, you can only obtain points through random missions or main missions."

Zhuang Xiaolin did not react much to the news that the daily mission module had been damaged. After entering the city, he had decided to look into daily missions, but all he had gotten were routine missions.

Originally, Zhuang Xiaolin had wondered whether daily missions were related to population density, requiring a large number of similar beings nearby before they could be generated.

He had thought the problem was with him, but now everything made sense.

Buying hip-hop records for that fat penguin had already cost him more than a hundred points. Combined with the clothes he had bought before, Zhuang Xiaolin only had around sixty points left. Even if he scraped together everything he had, he could not afford Nine Pounds Fifteen Pence.

"If you urgently need points, I do have another method here."

But then the system customer service abruptly changed its tone, becoming somewhat sleazy.

"What method?" Although Zhuang Xiaolin had already guessed that this other method was probably nothing good, obtaining enough points was still necessary for his current survival.

"Go enlighten this world, young man... ah, no, old man."

"I'll give you three seconds to rethink your wording."

"Ahahaha, just kidding. Don't be angry, Host. Actually, this other method is pretty similar to enlightening the world."

Zhuang Xiaolin took a deep breath, calmed down, and continued asking.

"Speak."

"Go find the children of destiny and obtain destiny."

"What does that have to do with enlightening the world?"

"Umm, let me put it this way. You can only obtain destiny through legitimate means, not crooked methods. In other words, you can only help those children of destiny or become part of their circle. You cannot damage their destiny or attack them. But children of destiny, you know how they are—there are always a few saintly types among them. So it's called enlightening the world..."

"Then I'd rather not have the points."

"Hey, hey! Don't be so hasty. Think about it from another angle—if you charm the children of destiny so thoroughly that they lose their heads over you, wouldn't that indirectly let you gain destiny?"

"You mean you want me to pursue the children of destiny? What a joke. How could I let feelings bind my hands and feet? The person who can make me do something like that has yet to appear!"

Zhuang Xiaolin spoke righteously, but he quickly wilted. The reason was simple: no points... he was poor.

"Then is there another possibility? You could save those children of destiny and earn points that way."

The system customer service's words opened up a new line of thought for Zhuang Xiaolin.

Since killing the children of destiny or competing for their destiny was not feasible, why not think about it another way? If he saved children of destiny every day, would he not earn points every day?

But how was he supposed to save children of destiny every day?

That would require middlemen.

As for how exactly to do it, he would figure that out later.

"Commander, you need to come take a look at this intelligence."

Just as Zhuang Xiaolin was questioning the system customer service, Mozzie ran over excitedly with his communicator in hand.

Zhuang Xiaolin did not understand what was going on, but trusting them, he still accepted the information Mozzie handed him.

After reading for a while, Zhuang Xiaolin abruptly stood up and asked in disbelief, "When did this happen?"

"Just now! Lungmen's officials announced the results of a new Oripathy suppressant. They want to test us."

After understanding the full story, Zhuang Xiaolin sat back down.

"Heh, old fox. Once you've bitten off more than a few teeth can handle, I wonder what you'll think then."

Whether he was talking to himself or to Mozzie before him, Zhuang Xiaolin wore an intrigued expression.

"How is that medical pharmaceutical company called Rhodes Island?"
