The content of the side quest was to train Yan Xiaoxiao into a competent assassin, and the reward was yet to be determined.

According to the rules in his previous lifes game, reward yet to be determined actually meant that this quest could be further developed in depth, and the level of the obtainable reward depended on how deeply the player could develop the quest.

Gu Nans consciousness appeared in the Evil God Temple, and the reward was also announced:

500 Points

It rewarded points!

Gu Nans eyebrows rose, and a hint of joy passed through his heart. It was normal for side quests to only award either points or Evil Value[1], so he wasnt surprised by this.

But he didnt expect that such a simple side quest would actually give a full 500 points!

One must not think that just because Evil Value was very important, points didnt matter. Without points, it would be impossible to advance to a new tier even if players had enough Evil Value, and after advancing, they wouldnt be able to buy equipment or skills either. Even if they bought them, they still wouldnt be able to afford to use them if they lacked points

To sum it up in a very simple sentence: How can you become stronger if you dont have any money?

For example, Gu Nan had been reluctant to buy an accessory for the necklace slot because he was making preparations for Tier 3the advancement from Tier 2 to Tier 3 required 1000 points.

But now Gu Nan already had 950 points, so he didnt have to be too frugal anymore. Without another word, he bought a piece of equipment.

Item: Dragon Heart Pendant. Purchase successful. Deducting 250 points

With a flash of light, a crimson pendant appeared in Gu Nans hands. A Western-style dragon was carved at the top of the pendant, but it was a little small, so not only was it not majestic, but it even seemed kind of cute.

But the function of this 250 point pendant wasnt cute at all.

Dragon Heart Pendant: Allows players to activate the skill Dragon Power. This skill cannot be upgraded

Dragon Power: Active skill. Greatly enhances the players strength and physique. Duration: 5 seconds. Cooldown: 5 minutes

The Dragon Heart Pendant was a very famous item in the game that gave players a mini-Superman mode every 5 minutes. It was very popular with players who didnt choose the spirit type advancement direction. The price was also very expensive.

The price of this pendant, whose skill couldnt even be upgraded, was actually more expensive than the Shadow Earring, so one could imagine how powerful the Dragon Power skill would be.

Now I have 700 points and an Evil Value of 35. According to this pace, I should still have a surplus of points when I advance to Tier 3, so I can buy some good skills.

Thats right, after advancing to Tier 3, players also had to pay points if they wanted to learn skills, and the price wasnt cheap at all.

The main mission wont be completed in one night, and theres also only one side quest left, which is to kill the enemy factions cultivators Gu Nan calculated what he could do next.

If only I can trigger one more side quest.

Well, alright, this child keeps on dreaming about good things.

In the following days, there was still no news of Yan Xiaoxiao. Gu Nan could only try to go out and steal some kills, but unfortunately, thanks to Wen Changfeng and Tang You, he now had people watching his every move, which made it impossible to sneak out.

This was the pain of becoming a celebrity. The enemy had already run away before he even arrived at the battlefield

In this sense, the enemy vigorously promoted Gu Nans reputation in order to protect their subordinates.

More than a month passed like this, but Gu Nan barely managed to earn 100 points and no Evil Value at all. It was simply a waste of time.

Inside the sixth asteroid belt divisions tavern hall.

The central pillar of light slowly lit up, and Gu Nans figure walked out of the endless void with a resentful look on his face.

Since he couldnt earn more points and Evil Value in the Immortal Demon World, he temporarily left the plane. In any case, he could always enter it again if he needed to, and there were still a lot of things in Star Realm that he had to acquaint himself with.

There was no day or night on the asteroid belt. The tavern was always lit up, and only one person witnessed Gu Nans return at this moment.

That was Lin Ruo, the person who had a problem with him when he first arrived. However, she never brought up their disagreement again after watching him complete the Azure City mission.

Lin Ruo wasnt a fool. It was one thing to use her strength to bully a newcomer, but Gu Nan clearly wasnt any kind of newcomer. News that the Azure City mission was completed by a small obscure branch office had already spread throughout Radiant Tower.

She didnt know the situation in the Immortal Demon World yet and wasnt aware of Gu Nans latest battle record, or else she wouldnt dare to have any ideas at all.

But on the flip side, there was also no need for her to change directions and curry favor with him, so when she saw Gu Nan appear, she immediately got up and left.

Faced with Lin Ruos coldness, Gu Nan didnt care. The thoughts of people who lacked the power to affect him didnt matter at all.

He returned to his room and found a note from Qin Xuanji.

[Private mission, are you interested?]

Private mission?

The message on the note caused some doubts to arise in Gu Nans heart. He had no choice but to enter the Immortal Demon World because he could no longer receive any new missions in Radiant Towers branch office. Otherwise, there was really no need to go to such trouble.

As for the origins of such peculiar things like missions, Gu Nan had checked the database long ago but didnt get much useful information.

He only knew that these missions seemed to originate from some natural law, rather than from human control.

This made Gu Nan lament for a long time. If missions were issued by people, then he could find someone to specifically issue missions and complete them himself to casually farm Evil Value.

Even if missions came from another channel, he could still break away from Radiant Tower later and become a solo reincarnator.

It seems that Qin Xuanji knows more than I do. Such a thought crossed Gu Nans mind.

Gu Nan already expected this. After all, even now, he still didnt really understand the peculiar existence called bloodline users. Qin Xuanji clearly had quite a few secrets.

There was no night or day on the asteroid belt, so Gu Nan immediately came to Qin Xuanjis room.

Qin Xuanji was in the room at this time. After a while, she walked out of the inner room, her black hair dripping wet.

Gu Nan took a look. The liquid on her hair didnt seem to be sweat or ordinary water, but resembled some kind of special medicinal liquid, and Gu Nan could still smell a faint fishy smell.

A special cultivation method? Gu Nan secretly pondered in his heart.

Except for oddball personnel like him who relied on missions to advance, most people usually seized any free time they had to cultivate. After all, no one knew if the next mission would be dangerous.

Although Radiant Tower prioritized the lives of its members, casualties were still inevitable.

What do you mean by a private mission? Gu Nan saw her appear and asked bluntly.

A rather special kind of mission Before that, I want to ask you a question. Qin Xuanjis face actually had a rare smile, as though she had stumbled upon something good.

What?

I know a type of person who is naturally recognized by the universe and can gain benefits from the missions themselves. Are you this type of person?

Gu Nans expression turned serious. He knew that his peculiar behavior of eagerly searching for missions had finally aroused the suspicion of others.

Zhang Dongsheng and Tang Xuan might also suspect something, but they just didnt say anything.

Gu Nans silence made Qin Xuanji understand the answer, so she spoke with bright eyes, Lets make a deal.

Notes:[1]: Guilt Points will be referred to as Evil Value, and evil points will be referred to as simply points to better differentiate the two. All s will eventually be updated with the new terms
