Chapter 25: Frenzied Quest

  "This Deacon brother, in your opinion, which tasks should I take on? After all, I'm just a newcomer and don't understand many of the tasks. Could you please give me some detailed guidance?" Ye Tianfan said with a strong sense of disgust in his heart, and as he spoke, he felt a chill run down his spine.

  However, the steward seemed to be extremely pleased with such flattery, and his whole person was in a state of enjoyment. It was clear that he was very fond of such flattering words. After calming down his excitement, he said: "You can choose any task you like from here, it's best to choose one with high difficulty, after all, the higher the difficulty, the more points you'll get. You know, I'm doing this all for your own good." The steward said with a self-satisfied tone, and pretended to be excited as he handed over the task jade slip to Ye Tianfan, but in his heart, he thought: "I hope you choose a 'good' task, one that will make you go but never return."

  Ye Tianfan didn't have the ability to read minds, but what this steward was thinking, although not entirely clear, could be guessed eight or nine times out of ten. However, in order to gain the trust of this steward, he had no choice but to pretend to be crazy and act foolishly.

  Ye Tianfan pretended to examine the jade slip again and again, looking like he was having trouble making up his mind. This made the officer in charge anxious, fearing that Ye Tianfan would give up on accepting the task. He hastily said: "How is it, Fellow Disciple? Have you chosen one? If so, let me register it for you."

  Looking at his concerned expression, those who didn't know would have thought that the two of them really had some improper intimate relationship. Ye Tianfan did not respond, but instead pretended to be hesitant, and finally seemed to have made up his mind, causing the executor's heart to tense up. Ye Tianfan pretended to say sincerely: "Brother, you give me all the tasks above simple level in here, I'll take them all."

  "What?!" the steward asked loudly, as if he didn't dare to believe his own ears. The steward asked again, unsure whether he was shocked by Ye Tianfan's words or disbelieving his own ears.

  The crowd outside, who had been excitedly watching the scene unfold, were now becoming numb to Ye Tianfan's repeated unexpected moves. They couldn't help but feel that it was hard to imagine what he would do next, but not impossible. "What, isn't it allowed? It seems like there's no rule in the door regulations that says you can't take on multiple tasks at the same time?" Ye Tianfan asked weakly, pretending to be innocent, while secretly laughing to himself, wondering if this executive dared to try and cheat him again.

  "Yes, the rules don't say it's not allowed," the steward muttered to himself, then sighed and said: "It's just that you've taken on too many tasks. You know there are twenty of them, and each one is as difficult as climbing a mountain for an outer sect disciple. And they all have time limits, and these places are so far apart... Ah, sigh." The steward was at a loss for words, his mind filled with mixed emotions.

  Although I don't know what to say, it's my duty to record the tasks that Ye Tianfan needs to take over. After recording them, this executive carefully made a copy of the detailed locations of these tasks and handed it over to Ye Tianfan.

  Ye Tianfan happily put away the jade slip and didn't forget to say with a bad taste to the executive: "Thanks a lot." After finishing, he ran away like flying.

  The steward, upon hearing this, suddenly felt an urge to vomit blood, thinking to himself that he was just a bit greedy, a bit cunning, and had flattered people a bit too much... how could he be so unlucky?

  In the following days, Ye Tianfan was busy every day, rushing to complete his tasks. It took almost a month to finally finish, of course, during this period, Ye Tianfan spent most of his time on the road, because these tasks were too far away and scattered. Every time he arrived at a place, Ye Tianfan could only spend one hour completing the task, while the rest of the time was spent on the road. After all, with his current speed in the foundation-building period, it was still too slow.

  But these tasks were not as difficult as the first one, and the gains were naturally much less. They were all left behind by the outer sect disciples who died after completing the task, but those monsters couldn't be used, which was a bargain for Ye Tianfan. However, the final gain made Ye Tianfan feel dissatisfied, after all, there were too few things, even the secret manuals of the kung fu method were scarce, and most of them had already been obtained from Ren Tianxing, the young master of the Du Sect. He couldn't help but exclaim that the outer sect disciples were too poor.

  Since the task was already completed, Ye Tianfan hurried back to hand it in. He still had his mind on the books in the Cangjing Pavilion.

  As soon as Ye Tianfan entered the sect, news of his arrival spread quickly among those who were eager to see how he would turn out. They rushed to the task-assigning pavilion, fearing that they might miss something exciting and regret it for the rest of their lives. After all, the lives of outer sect disciples were too dull, with nothing but cultivation and doing tasks, just going through the motions.

  As soon as he saw Ye Tianfan arrive, the official in charge of assigning tasks trembled with fear, thinking to himself that this jinx had come again and that things couldn't go on like this. He must find an excuse to give up this task assignment position. However, thinking about giving up this good job made his heart ache, after all, he didn't know how much he had paid for it, even his own face had been rubbed into the ground until it was unrecognizable.

  Ye Tianfan, regardless of what he thought, enthusiastically said to him: "Elder brother, I'm back, the task you gave me is also completed, can I have my reward now? I've been waiting for a long time."

  You can still be my senior, the executor thought, but still smiled and said: "Really? Then take it out and let me check it. I'll directly transfer the points to your identity jade card."

  "Alright, look, I've completed the task without any difference. You must take a good look, and we should get quite a few points from this, hehe." As he spoke, Ye Tianfan had already taken out the relevant items from his storage bag that met the task requirements.

  In an instant, the attic was almost filled to capacity. The corpses of the demonic beasts and other items that could prove the completion of the task were all placed on display, causing the eyes of those outer sect disciples who were striving for points to widen in amazement. Who knew how long it would take them to achieve this if they were the ones doing it?

  "That's right, you've completed it, this is the score you deserve, a total of 18,000 points. Is that correct?" The official already didn't want to see Ye Tianfan's face again and wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible, out of sight, out of mind.

  "Right, right, thank you, Master. Since everything is fine now, I'll take my leave." Ye Tianfan said happily and turned to leave.

  Seeing Ye Tianfan wanting to leave, the executor let out a sigh of relief and thought: Finally left. But Ye Tianfan immediately turned around again, startling him.

  "By the way, how do I get to the Cangshu Pavilion? Can you tell me, I still don't know the way." Ye Tianfan turned around and said.

  At that moment, this sentence made people stunned, and the executor also said in a bad tone: "Just walk along this road, turn another corner and you'll be there."

  "Thanks, Elder Brother Executioner, this time I'm really leaving." After saying that, he really left.
