"As expected of the Joker who got an S Grade rating, he actually spent 1000 points to change his appearance." Yan Wuqie sat down opposite Ling Yi and laughed.
I have to say, Yan Wuqie, and even more so when he smiles.
He's the kind of handsome that makes Protagonist, the kind that's unforgettable after just one glance.
"Your Wanjin Group has been making quite a stir lately!" Ling Yi said calmly.
Because of Li Fei, Ling Yi didn't have much goodwill towards Wanjin Group, and consequently, he didn't have much goodwill towards Yan Wuqie either.
Even though this thing looks like the Protagonist.
"Just one bad apple!" Yan Wuqie dismissed it.
"Heh, it's not that simple, is it? That Li Fei is a member of the Church of Truth. Can I assume that your Wanjin Group also has connections with the Church of Truth?"
"I can guarantee that my uncle, Li Fei, is not a member of the Church of Truth, and our Wanjin Group has absolutely no connection with the Church of Truth."
Ling Yi remained noncommittal. "Not now, but who knows what might happen in the future."
Ling Yi's words made Yan Wuqie frown. He could sense that Ling Yi was very hostile towards him, Li Fei, and Wanjin Group.
He initially thought it was because Ling Yi was influenced by online public opinion, but now it seems that's not the case.
Could it be that my foolish uncle had offended this Joker in the past?
Or is this Joker someone from another group, which is why he harbors hostility towards the Wanjin Group?
Or perhaps, the Joker is one of TTZ's people?
However, Yan Wuqie didn't want to continue on this topic and directly changed the subject.
"Sir, what are your thoughts on this mission?"
"Tell me your thoughts first!" Ling Yi shook his head and said.
"Among the many Chosen One quests, reputation quests are the easiest to complete, but also one of the most difficult."
Ling Yi nodded.
Yan Wuqie continued, "It's easy to guarantee a minimum score by completing the task. The simplest way is to sabotage it. I've encountered reputation quests a few times before."
"It's easier to accomplish in the modern world. Just do something big, make a splash online, and you can basically guarantee a minimum income."
"But in modern or ancient Mission World without internet access, it's much more difficult."
"The hardest part about reputation quests isn't how to gain reputation, but the time limit!"
Chi Hu, standing nearby, said, "Reputation, to put it simply, is fame, whether it's a good reputation or a bad one."
"But in ancient times, information was difficult to transmit, making it hard to gain fame quickly."
"Ten thousand reputation points means that one hundred thousand people need to know that you exist and what you have done."
Ling Yi frowned. A hundred thousand people's fame, and only ten thousand reputation points?
To complete the Second Tier, wouldn't we need the brand awareness of a million people?
To get an S Grade rating, wouldn't you need the fame of a hundred billion people?
Are there 100 billion people in this world?
The key question is, how can we achieve brand awareness among 100 billion people within 70 days?
In this world, an S Grade rating is probably out of the question, but at least a C-level rating is necessary.
Only by reaching Rank C can all three temporary skills be retained simultaneously.
If even C-level cannot be achieved, then at least E-level should be reached, and the defensive skill of Hold Position should be retained.
In other words, Ling Yi needs to achieve a level of recognition that reaches millions of people.
Hmm... this shouldn't be too difficult.
Or rather, Ling Yi should have already reached that level.
Ling Yun Commandery City has a population of over one million. Now he has saved everyone in Ling Yun Commandery City, in addition to his identity as a cultivator.
It probably won't be long before the entire Ling Yun Commandery City knows about him.
However, an E-grade item certainly wouldn't satisfy Ling Yi.
"Sir, I'm not sure how to address you? It's a bit impolite to keep calling you Mr. Joker!" Yan Wuqie asked tentatively.
"Just call me Joker!" Ling Yi said nonchalantly.
"Alright, Mr. Joker, I think we can continue our cooperation. If you can lead us to S Grade or higher, all the mission points will still be yours."
"Even if you don't reach S Grade, we will still give you half of the points."
Yan Wuqie shortage of points; Wanjin Group has secretly collected a considerable number of points over the past year.
However, Yan Wuqie needs to upgrade his skill level.
Only high scores will grant the opportunity to upgrade skill levels.
The previous S Grade rating reward greatly increased the strength of Yan Wuqie and Chi Hu, with Yan Wuqie's Lightning Control even reaching S -S Grade.
Chi Hu's Great Strength skill has also reached S Grade.
It's important to know that the highest skill level among Chosen One in the world right now is only A-level.
There aren't many even at the A level.
Points are important, but skill levels are even more valuable.
If Yan Wuqie and Chi Hu weren't so low-level and didn't have so few Energy Points, they would be practically invincible by now.
Furthermore, after the Chosen One Brand was updated, there are now many more ways to gain experience points.
Instead of being limited to the sole method of exchanging Experience Pill for points.
If Yan Wuqie were to upgrade his C-rank Lightning Release and C-rank Thunder Body Protection skills to S Grade, he would become a well-rounded warrior with speed, defense, and offense all at his disposal.
This can only be achieved by cooperating with Ling Yi.
Their skills are very strong, Energy Points.
In other words, the battery life is too short.
The S Grade Thunder Control runs out of Energy Points after just two uses.
The skill level has increased, and the Energy Points consumed have increased dramatically.
Not everyone is like Ling Yi, who can use a bunch of conceptual skills without consuming Energy Points.
The data interface does not have the Energy Points parameter.
This is a concept defined by the Chosen One themselves.
The data was obtained through some technological instruments and was not recorded on the Chosen One's data interface.
"Are you so sure I can get a high score? You guys must have had a pretty good haul last time, right? Completing the reputation quests on your own shouldn't be difficult, so why are you cooperating with me?"
Hearing Ling Yi's words, Yan Wuqie gave a wry smile, "This is another hidden drawback of reputation quests. No matter how much you increase your reputation by building up your fame, you'll eventually be targeted by the natives of the Mission World!"
"Is this true for all reputation quests?"
Yes, without exception.
Even in the modern world, going live to create buzz and boost your fame can inexplicably get you involved in all sorts of messy things.
"I was being hunted by hundreds of gangsters in a previous Mission World," Chi Hu said from the side.
" The First Tier is fine, but problems are bound to arise in the Second Tier, just like some kind of setting in the Mission World."
Ling Yi nodded, but he didn't agree with the idea of Mission World setting; it should be the setting of the Chosen One Brand.
Ling Yi firmly believes that the Mission World should be the real world.
It was just like the lively, everyday atmosphere that Ling Yi saw when he first stepped out of the alley.
"Compared to the other Chosen One, our strength is not bad. We might be able to get through the second stage, but with our strength, there's absolutely no way we can get through the third stage!"
"Moreover, this is a world of immortals and heroes."
"Are there many fantasy-themed Mission World?" Ling Yi asked.
"I've encountered them occasionally before, but not often. I've only encountered two fantasy-themed Mission World before."
"Unfortunately, it's not a reputation quest, but a hunting quest—hunting down an elder of a cultivation sect. With only Golden Core Realm cultivation level, it's impossible to complete; I can't even meet the minimum requirement."
"Besides hunting missions, reputation missions, and survival missions, are there any other types of missions?" Ling Yi asked again.
Yan Wuqie understand why Ling Yi would ask these questions; weren't these all attempts by the Chosen One?
Could it be that Ling Yi isn't a member of TTZ, nor of any Chosen One organization, but rather a free Chosen One?
Only those Chosen One free will have limited knowledge of some of the more critical issues due to information limitations.
But even Chosen One should know this type of mission, right?
As for the fact that Ling Yi was a newly Chosen One, Yan Wuqie considered it.
However, since Ling Yi had asked, Yan Wuqie naturally had to answer.
"Besides hunting, reputation, and survival-type quests, there are also dungeon crawling, role-playing, and tower defense quests."
"However, each type of task is further divided into many subcategories, making it incredibly diverse. This classification is just a general one."
"In reality, the missions are not fixed for each Mission World."
"Not fixed?"
"Yes, it's not fixed. For example, you might log into the same Mission World, but the mission content could be completely different."
" The Mission World is randomized, and the missions themselves are also randomized."
"Perhaps the next time we log into this Mission World, it won't be a reputation quest, but a hunting quest."
Ling Yi now has a general understanding of the Chosen One and Chosen One mission.
"We can cooperate, but you each need to give me one more Skill Advancement Points. If you agree, we'll form a team; if not, then forget it."
"This!"
Yan Wuqie and Chi Hu exchanged a glance.
Chi Hu was somewhat dissatisfied. Giving all the points to this Joker was one thing, but giving him Skill Advancement Points was a bit excessive.
Ling Yi, however, was not in a hurry at all. He knew that if Yan Wuqie smart, he would definitely agree.
The choice between having fewer skill points and having no skill points is obvious.
"Okay!" Yan Wuqie took a deep breath.
He then asked Ling Yi to join his team.
At this moment, the tavern owner came out carrying a pot of stewed meat, and the timid scholar in a blue robe carried two jars of wine.
Please enjoy your meal. If you need more, just let me know!
"You can go down now!" said Chi Hu.
It's not that the Chi Hu is domineering, but rather that the affairs of the Chosen One are not suitable for the natives to know.
The two dared not say another word and immediately withdrew.
At this moment, the three-person team was formed.
"So what are you planning to do next?" Yan Wuqie asked.
Ling Yi looked towards the doorway. "Let's learn about the situation in this world first."
As soon as Ling Yi finished speaking, a bald, burly man walked in carrying two watermelon hammers.
It was none other than Wang Ming, the leader of the Cloud Mountain Robbers!
At this moment, Wang Ming was covered in blood and had many wounds on his body.
Upon seeing Ling Yi, Wang Ming immediately knelt on the ground and respectfully said, "Greetings, Immortal Master. The rest of the Cloud Mountain Robbers have all perished."
"Very well, I'll ask you some questions. If you answer them well, I'll spare your life."
"Please speak, Immortal Master!" Wang Ming lowered his head, his heart filled with bitterness.
He didn't not want to run; he was afraid to run.
Cultivators have too many tricks up their sleeves; he simply can't escape. Running away would mean certain death. Completing Ling Yi's orders might offer him a sliver of hope.
"Do you know anything about the recent cultivation sects...?"
