"Number 623, Number 482, Number 173... Also, all the tasks from Number 1 through 10!"
After checking them one by one, Jian Shang clicked his tongue in secret. Finally arriving at the center of the main hall, he requested several dozen tasks of various grades from the officer in one go.

"Is he crazy?!"
Words that did not shock others to death would never stop. Jian Shang taking on so many jobs at once immediately drew countless sidelong glances and stirred up quite a commotion. However, because of what the Black Wolf Cavalry had done earlier, those who knew Jian Shang did not dare discuss it too loudly.
"Great Qin Profound Edict. Please pay one percent of each task's reward and merit points in advance! Whether the task succeeds or fails, you may apply to have it returned. This serves as the primary basis for preventing multiple factions from accepting the same task and causing conflicts."
The officer froze briefly, then looked at Jian Shang with an odd expression as he made the demand.

Since he was accepting tasks anyway, taking more would not hurt; perhaps he might complete some by a twist of fate. Who would have thought that he needed to pay a deposit and merit points in advance?
"Of course, if you lack sufficient wealth and merit points, you may complete the tasks first before coming to accept them! It's just that... one-tenth of the rewards will be deducted. Moreover, if someone else accepts a task first, you may not steal their credit. Otherwise, you will be punished according to Great Qin military law."
