“Besides these three types, there are many other tasks, all classified under the last category known as free tasks. Among them, some are issued by Tian Gong, such as running errands for Tian Gong, inquiring about a certain powerful individual, or searching for treasures, etc. Additionally, there are other tasks published by fellow disciples, for instance, Holy Son, you need a certain type of material, or you encountered problems while practicing a certain technique, or you want to understand the usage of a specific material. If these cannot be resolved within Tian Gong, you can post such tasks here for other disciples to solve, with Tian Gong taking a twenty percent cut of the contribution points.”
The steward provided a detailed introduction.
“Among these tasks, the most stable are those related to refining Sacred Weapons. Although there is a failure rate in refining Sacred Weapons, as long as one is careful, it can still yield profits. Most of the refining disciples generally accept such tasks.”
“Besides that, there is the sale of materials and treasures, which is relatively stable and contributes points quickly. The most dangerous are the hunting tasks, generally taken on by the martial artists. Holy Son, you've just joined Tian Gong; the most important thing is to focus on cultivation. There’s really no need to take on those dangerous tasks.”
The steward continued explaining, aiming to leave a good impression on Qin Chen, showing meticulous care while presenting many task lists.
Qin Chen took a glance and immediately frowned; the tasks on the list were hardly suitable for him.
It wasn’t that these tasks were bad, but the time required to complete them was too much. For instance, refining a Sacred Weapon, with Qin Chen's success rate, he could successfully refine a top-grade Sacred Weapon among the low-grade Heavenly level in just a few days. However, for this Sacred Weapon handed over to Tian Gong, he would only receive about three thousand points.
The price was only one-third of what it would sell for in the Treasure Sacred Hall, as the materials, etc., were all provided by Tian Gong.
He wanted to accumulate over one million contribution points, which would require hundreds of days.
Even with time acceleration, it would still take a considerable amount of time.
Killing enemies for contribution points would consume even more time.
As for exchanging materials and treasures, according to the exchange rules in Tian Gong, Qin Chen would need to provide twice the value in treasures to exchange for a time crystal. Many of the treasures on him were ones he needed for himself, so they couldn't be casually exchanged.
“Unless... I take out those peak demonic Sacred Weapons brewed from the five secrets of the Yan Luo Holy Master. Although demonic weapons have a lower exchange value in Tian Gong, the demonic Sacred Weapons brewed by the Yan Luo Holy Master are exceptionally valuable. If I take them out, I should be able to exchange enough contribution points for time crystals.”
But these Sacred Weapons were meant for the Skeleton Leader and the others.
“Eh…”
Just as Qin Chen was feeling troubled, he suddenly noticed the last position of the free tasks on the task list.
Rows upon rows, densely packed, all were some problems encountered during the refining process, and these were bizarre and varied.
“Holy Son, these tasks are problems encountered by the refiners in Tian Gong during their refining process. Many issues require a large amount of time and effort to resolve, and there’s no guarantee of completion. To save time, many refiners turn their problems into tasks, matching them with contribution points, and place them in the task hall to seek answers.”
“However, although there are elders in Tian Gong who teach refining knowledge and answer questions, they all have their own tasks each day, so time is limited. And you know, those who can become refining disciples are at least peak Earth level refiners, with the majority being Heavenly level refiners. Many of the questions they raise are ones that even the elders may not be able to answer…”
