At the Heavenly Derivation Sect Mountain Gate.
A squad of Heavenly Derivation Sect disciples was heading inside after completing a mission.
A somewhat slender young man sighed softly.
"We finally finished this mission. Another couple of trips and my bones would fall apart."
A tall, burly man laughed and scolded him.
"When there aren't any missions, you complain you don't have enough contribution points to exchange for anything good. When there are plenty, you complain you're tired. You want all the benefits for yourself?"
The slender young man stretched.
"Of course. Ideally, there'd be something where I could do nothing at all and still have a heap of contribution points to spend."
The tall, burly man looked toward their squad leader. "Things are already pretty good. The missions have gotten much easier, and the rewards are excellent too. We also have Squad Leader Wang's performance last time to thank for leaving an impression on Elder Bai."
A slight smile appeared on Wang Lin's face.
At first, when Chu Xingchen said he would put in a few good words for him with Bai Xuanling, he had thought Chu Xingchen was merely dangling an empty promise before him. After all, important people forgetting things was commonplace among cultivators at Yan Yun's level. But he had never expected Chu Xingchen to actually say something.
Since he returned to the Heavenly Derivation Sect after completing the assistance mission, not only had his mission rewards doubled out of nowhere, but even the ill-tempered elder responsible for issuing missions spoke to him in an unbelievably gentle tone.
This was probably the first time Wang Lin had encountered a big shot who truly kept his word.
It had been worth risking his life to work alongside Li Xingtian back then, even if they had not worked together
