Chapter 39: Arrival at Nottingham

You Chen's eyes were fiery.

If "a flash of inspiration" is a panacea, a reward that can definitely be used, then "illuminating the origin" is definitely worth waiting for even if it wastes a few years. It can be said to be a must-get task reward!
As long as the effect is not insignificant, and the "quantity" required for quantitative change to lead to qualitative change is not too exaggerated, its value is definitely no less than a ten thousand year soul bone that is extremely suitable for a soul master!

The degree of control over the original power of the martial soul is the watershed that distinguishes the truly strong.

Throughout history, there have been many soul masters with lower-quality martial souls who, through their extremely high control over their original power, were able to use their power very efficiently and unleash combat power far beyond the quality of their own martial souls.

According to the records of the Spirit Hall, there was once a Soul King who used a mid-quality wooden sword spirit and killed a defensive Soul King with a top-quality spirit with a single sword strike!
But You Chen is You Chen after all. He quickly suppressed his inner restlessness and observed the mission information.

As expected, both quest completion conditions are now in an incomplete state.

It's hard to say whether he used a higher power to oppress Yu Xiaogang. Can we say that he used Qianxunji's power to drive Yu Xiaogang out of the Spirit Hall? It seems that he can say that, but it doesn't seem to have much to do with him.

But if we talk about completely crushing Yu Xiaogang in theory, You Chen would certainly have done it long ago.

But just like the previous task of "making a female classmate look at him differently", he did not complete it as soon as he received it.

Based on You Chen's current understanding of the system, this kind of task completion condition related to the subjective consciousness of the task target does not necessarily require him to run in front of the other party and make the other party look at him differently.

For example, he suddenly completed a "look at the other person differently" task before he even met the other person.

Judging from the result afterwards, as long as the other party had such an idea after he accepted the task, the condition was met.

As for this kind of "proving the theory" and "theoretical crushing", it can be discussed in two situations.

One is that Yu Xiaogang inexplicably remembered the fact that she was not as good as You Chen, and started to do Yu Yu, and then she considered the mission accomplished.

The other option is that You Chen needs to have another theoretical debate with Yu Xiaoang, causing Yu Xiaoang to feel humiliated and frustrated once again.

But the first type of task, "power oppression" needs to be carried out in a practical way.

Just like some "defeat the target" tasks, even if You Chen has defeated the opponent before, he still needs to "defeat" him again.

As for how to successfully complete the task, he already had a plan in mind.

“Is this Nottingham?”

Xiao Wu looked at the gate of Notting City and sighed.

After stopping and walking along the way, it took the two of them a week to finally reach their destination.

In a sense, this journey is more like a picnic than a journey.

You Chen silently glanced at Xiao Wu and said, "Although I am your uncle in name now, don't think of using my name to cause trouble in Notting City. I know you are a playful and erratic person. If something really goes wrong, I won't care about you."

"Huh? Is this how you act as an uncle?"

Xiao Wu's eyes widened, and she spoke from You Chen's perspective: "Even if it's fake, no one else will know. If your niece is being bullied outside and you, as an uncle, don't even dare to fart, won't you be looked down upon?"

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, anyone who is worthy of my attention can see through this 'uncle and nephew' statement at a glance. Why should I care about the opinions of those who are not worth caring about? Giving you such a title will only save you a little trouble, so that no one will bully you. But this is not a weapon for you to bully others." You Chen explained.

"Tsk." Xiao Wu curled her lips and kicked the stones on the side of the road.

"Oh, I think I've never told you."

You Chen seemed to have just remembered something important. He stopped walking towards the main gate of Notting City and turned to look at Xiao Wu who was confused. "I was driven to this remote place because I offended a big shot. I usually keep a low profile. Lest that big shot find something to blame me for and use it against me." "Offended a big shot? Tsk tsk, you said you were here to do business, but you were driven out. Uncle, you are so pitiful."

Xiao Wu tilted her head: "Speaking of which, it seems that you have joined some faction, uncle?"

You Chen nodded: "Yes. I am from the Spirit Hall."

The truth of this shock made Xiao Wu's body suddenly stiffen.

……

"Master Youchen, this is your steward's token and uniform. You must report here at eight o'clock every morning. You will have a two-hour break at noon. If there is nothing important in the afternoon, you can leave work at five o'clock at the earliest. Also, our branch hall has a rotation system for rest, and the specific schedule is..."

Inside the Spirit Hall, a young deacon in white was explaining the precautions to You Chen in a very disciplined manner.

"By the way, do you want me to take you to your dormitory here?"

After the introduction, the deacon in white asked questions.

You Chen shook his head: "No need, I have asked someone to buy a property in Nottingham City, and I will live there from now on. The specific address is (……), you can come to me in case of emergency, please write it down."

The white-robed deacon showed no surprise when he heard about the real estate. Although he seemed a little rich as he had bought the house in advance before coming, with the financial resources of a soul master, it was not too much pressure to buy a few properties in Notting City.

Those who can become yellow-robed deacons are at least soul masters, and strength is only one of the foundations.

Even a large number of branch hall masters in low-level cities are the yellow-robed deacons.

This is the case with the master of their Notting City branch temple.

Even though You Chen suffered an extremely humiliating "exile" in the eyes of the Spirit Hall members of this hall, in a small place like Notting City, the Yellow-robed Deacon was already a big shot.

The people in this hall think that You Chen is a "tiger in plain water", but taking the white-robed deacon in front of them as an example, they see You Chen as a "dragon swimming in shallow water".

Logically speaking, when a "big shot" like You Chen comes, the master of the branch hall should personally prepare the bed to welcome him.

But in reality, they only sent a deacon in white to handle the matter in a simple and official manner.

That's pretty much it.

However, You Chen had already anticipated this situation, so he would not take this so-called "show of power" too seriously.

"You should have noticed that this little girl is my niece. She came all the way here to rely on me. Do you have any connections to help me arrange for her to enroll in school here?"

After finishing his business, You Chen patted Xiao Wu's head, who was unusually silent, and asked the deacon in white.

"Ah, this is of course no problem."

The young deacon in white simply nodded.

After all, members of the Spirit Hall are not civil servants and do not have a sensitive political sense.

He was even somewhat delighted with You Chen's request.
