Chapter 85: One Year in the Blink of an Eye
Chapter 85: A Year in the Blink of an Eye (2)
Tang San’s missions are easy to carry, and the rewards become more generous as his strength increases, but You Chen can’t always grab the same sheep and pull it hard, right?
He knew very well that completing Tang San’s mission a hundred times now would not be as effective as completing Tang San’s mission once in the future!
And if Tang San is now broken down and no longer willing to spar with Youxing's small account...
I'm afraid we have to wait until Youxing reveals his mask and the two sides become truly hostile before the mission can be triggered again! In other words, there will be a chance to complete the mission again!
That would be a real heavy loss!
As for influencing Tang San, or following the path of good brothers in some fan fictions?
You Chen is no longer as naive as he used to be.
In this world, the superficial relationships between some characters are easy to change, but once it comes to issues concerning the characters' roots and essence, it will never be that simple!
The reason why Tang San will become hostile to "Youxing" in the future is because he is Tang Hao's son. As long as this is true, he will never give up on revenge against the Spirit Hall!
Unless You Chen is willing to completely abandon the Spirit Hall, this conflict cannot be easily resolved.
Just because You Chen has a low lower limit doesn’t mean he has no lower limit!
Even though the Spirit Hall has not officially established a country, it is actually no different from a real country in Douluo Continent.
This is especially true for those orphans who were adopted by the Spirit Hall since childhood, as well as the family forces that have long since devoted themselves to the Spirit Hall.
You Chen grew up in Wuhun City. It can be said that all his achievements and interpersonal relationships were established here. Naturally, he also has a sense of belonging to the Wuhun Hall that is close to that of a country.
What he said before about "leaving the Spirit Hall" is similar to immigrating and living in seclusion abroad.
But choosing to stand on Tang San's side is equivalent to helping foreigners destroy their own country!
Maybe the Spirit Hall does have some shortcomings, but it is definitely not absolutely righteous as some fan fiction or unscrupulous editors say.
There is no such thing as the best future being for the Wuhun Empire to rule the world!
But it is not a question of right or wrong, but a question of stance!
Suppose he gets Bibi Dong out of office and takes over himself, but that would also be an internal problem of the Spirit Hall itself.
No matter what the final situation is, he will eventually preserve the Spirit Hall as an organization.
After all, that was the mark of his life...
In addition to Tang San, You Chen naturally also had the task of brushing Yu Xiaogang.
However, this guy is already an old man after all, and perhaps he knows in his heart that he can't afford to offend You Chen, and his destiny power is far inferior to Tang San. Even if You Chen teases him more times, the number of tasks triggered is barely the same as Tang San's number of tasks.
The unexpected surprise was that he allowed You Chen to discover a hidden secret - multiple task objects could be merged into the same task.
This is the so-called "power mission" or "group mission".
On one occasion, Tang San and Yu Xiaogang, the master and disciple, were particularly united in their hatred of a common enemy. The result was not that only one task was triggered and the other task was castrated or postponed, but that the two tasks were merged into the same task.
The mission rewards are not deducted, but directly added up, and even higher quality rewards are produced.
Unfortunately, in a whole year, You Chen only triggered the group mission once and was unable to conduct more in-depth research on this.
In fact, the tasks are only secondary.
The most important thing this year, in addition to further digesting the system rewards, is Tang San’s "dog-licking" plan, commonly known as the "dog training plan."
So far, the "dog training plan" has been very smooth and has achieved phased progress without causing Tang Hao to overreact.
Tang San's cultivation is also much slower than in the original novel.
First of all, in the third month of school at Notting City Academy, in order to collect the one hundred Zhuge Divine Crossbows that he lost to You Chen, Tang San had to make at least one Zhuge Divine Crossbow every day while working in the blacksmith shop.
Secondly, Xiao Wu was not in Dormitory 7 this time. Tang San, who didn't like to show off and couldn't bear to push the tasks to his roommates, couldn't avoid the chores of the part-time student, which was another waste of time. In the end, the biggest drag was the existence of You Xing and Xiao Wu, which could not be measured in specific time, and the hidden mental consumption of Tang San.
Like time and money, the less people have it, the more they need it.
For example, if a monthly salary is 3,000 or 6,000, the actual disposable funds will be far more than twice the salary because the expenses of rent, utilities, and food must be deducted.
The same goes for time.
After deducting the time for rest, eating, studying, etc., the remaining time, every extra minute is not much from the perspective of a whole day, but when it comes to the time available for Tang San to practice, it is a huge loss.
A year has passed, and in the early stage of rapid leveling, Tang San has only risen from level 13 to level 15. At this speed, whether he can break through to the Great Spirit Master level before the three-year agreement comes, depends on how far Tang San can push himself...
Tang San doesn't have soul beast meat to eat every day like he did in Shrek. If he squeezes his potential like this, it will be a hidden loss...
In addition to the situation of Tang San and Yu Xiaogang in Notting City, the reaction of Bibi Dong in Wuhun City is also worth mentioning.
You Chen couldn't see Bibi Dong's expression, but he could guess a little.
The sign that read "Yu Xiaogang and dogs are not allowed to enter" was ordered to be removed by the Lord of Notting City not long after.
However, Tang San probably thought that You Chen was kind-hearted because of him, and he came to thank him for no apparent reason.
Half a month later, the two yellow-robed deacons in the remote Notting City were a bit of a waste of manpower, so two more yellow-robed deacons were inexplicably dispatched. The outrageous thing was that one of them had reached the Soul King realm. Logically speaking, this strength was enough to become a purple-robed cardinal.
Of course, the others did not have You Chen’s eyesight, and although they were puzzled by the fact that there were two more yellow-robed deacons, they were not too shocked if they did not know that one of them was a Soul King.
You Chen could easily guess the reason why these people were sent here: it was to "keep an eye" on him and prevent him from continuing to torture Yu Xiaoang.
The powers of the four yellow-robed deacons in Notting City are naturally divided accordingly. So no matter what You Chen wants to do with his yellow robe, the constraints he will face will be greatly strengthened. It is not like before, when the hall master was busy and didn't notice and couldn't control You Chen.
Now, there is at least one deacon in yellow who is always keeping an eye on You Chen.
And this is all in line with the rules and regulations of the Spirit Hall.
You Chen guessed that Bibi Dong probably thought that the reason why she "self-exiled" to Notting City was to target Yu Xiaogang...
Others might just think that You Chen was just doing it casually.
But in Bibi Dong's eyes, Yu Xiaogang has such value.
Even though You Chen was a person standing at the top of the theoretical world, he deliberately demoted himself for a mere Yu Xiaogang, and then spent several years hiding in Notting City just to target Yu Xiaogang, Bibi Dong felt that it was reasonable when she looked at it through a filter.
In this regard, You Chen could only secretly rejoice.
He hated Bibi Dong for thinking like this.
Maybe Bibi Dong is now feeling complacent about how she "realized" You Chen's purpose of going to Notting City so quickly.
As for the dead Soul Emperor Bai Hu? It seemed that he really died in vain. Judging from the fact that the strongest Soul Master Bibi Dong sent to Notting City was only a Soul King, she probably didn't think that You Chen killed Bai Hu.
Compared to Tang San's hindered cultivation progress and Bibi Dong's blindness when monitoring You Chen, You Chen's progress in all aspects was very smooth.
