Chapter 197 Rewards and the Coming Tasks

The main god space, which had a low presence along the way, now gave Fang Yi a new hint, just like a lazy cat that turned over and stretched after a good sleep.

[The Lord God Space sends you greetings, Reincarnation No. s12891.]

[Based on your chosen identity, planned development path, and mission performance, a personalized, solidified talent mission has been generated for you.]

As Fang Yi's mind moved, a female voice that he was very familiar with and pleasant with a slightly mechanical feel showed him the instructions for the [Solidifying Talent] task mentioned in the previous prompt.

"The talent [Favor of the Evil] you obtained by launching the [Bloody Duel] through the relic [Dueler's List] will be retained to a degree that will depend on your performance and completion progress in the chain of quests."

If the chain of tasks for [Solidified Talent] is not completed or the progress of the tasks is too low, the talent will be degraded into a trait and retained.

"After exceeding the original reserved progress of the task, a personalized increase will occur that suits the user. I hope you will try it more when you have the energy."

The generous hint from the main god space obviously verified Fang Yi's long-held guess that characteristics indeed have a way to evolve into talents.

It just seems that there is a gap that is almost as big as a chasm between traits and talents.

Otherwise, even if the [Solidified Talent] task given by the main god space fails, it will not be able to be converted into a trait and retained as a guaranteed benefit.

Looking at the panel of the main god space, the next stage task of [Solidifying Talent] has been displayed in front of Fang Yi.
-
[The next stage of the Solidified Talent Quest has been unlocked]

【The Reverence of the Evil II】

Task Requirement 1:

Make several characters belonging to the [evil forces] respect your behavior and identity.

The current worship value obtained (471/300) has reached the task completion standard.

Task Requirement 2:

Gain recognition from a high-ranking and prestigious figure belonging to the [evil forces].

The cumulative reputation value of the currently recognized character (21/1000) does not meet the task completion standard.

mission rewards:

[Rare] Relic x1, [Imperial Army Faction] Faction Contribution.

prompt:

If you want to take a shortcut and obtain the approval of the Minister [Ernest], the highest power in the empire, to complete this task, you should understand one thing.

Simply presenting treasures to the minister like most people would not earn the approval of the chief minister of all evil, Ernest.

The minister is looking for a capable and ambitious young man to carry out a difficult task for him, but before that you must first enter his sight and demonstrate your ability and value.

Summary:
Evil people also need their own saviors, and evil people should also have corresponding charm.
-
The "personalization" of the mission in the main god space is well-deserved. Fang Yizheng plans to use the spy mission and Minister [Ernest] as a springboard.

The main god space gave him a 'spoiler' about his possible mission route, which he was a little uncomfortable with.

Obviously, Minister [Ernest] has a task that can be triggered after certain conditions are met.

At the same time, based on the principle of equivalence between difficulty and reward, it can be inferred that this task will definitely bring very lucrative returns.

It may even involve going to the minister's private treasury or the emperor's inner treasury to be qualified to select the [Imperial Instrument].

[Esdeath] obtained the qualification to choose [Imperial Weapon] through the minister, and Fang Yi felt that he could make an attempt to a certain extent.

The rewards for this talent solidification task were obtained in stages. Even if the difficulty of the subsequent tasks was too high, the [Rare] relics given by [Reverence of the Evil II] and the faction contribution of [Imperial Army Lineup] were what he needed at this moment.

He also had some ideas about his "fame plan" to show the character [Imperial Conservative Youth Fang Yi] to the empire in the sun.

Since 'Evil' has already executed three people belonging to the [Minister's Camp], and spread fear in the form of [Death in the Mist], he made a shocking appearance.

Then "justice" should appear in the form of a hero who saves the beauty from the brutal, cruel and terrifying "evil".

However, considering the cunning of Minister [Ernest], he still needs to find a few "actors" to cooperate with him to act carefully.

Fang Yi was thinking, but was interrupted by a reminder of points transfer.

Madarame, who had just been assigned by him to guard the gate in the thick fog and was taken with him when he left, stood far away, wanting to say something to Fang Yi in a humble manner.

Fang Yi nodded, and his impression of this reincarnationist improved.

“Okay, he’s an interesting person who knows the points first.

"Since he has a good attitude and is willing to share the cake, then there's value in cooperation. This mission, there are some things that can be done by him and other reincarnationists, and I'll take a cut.

"After all, I have so much information in my head, and the mission world is so big that there is definitely room for other collaborators."

Fang Yi accepted the 2000 points transferred from 'Barame', patted the dangerous creature on the back, signaled [Almonda] to fly slower, and then signaled him to start talking.
-
Madarame didn't waste any time and got straight to the point.

“Other reincarnationists don’t have many points, so they may not be able to give you a large amount of points right away like I do. Please forgive me for that.

“However, I will urge them to consciously set aside some points in the next mission to repay the points that were not settled when you made the move.

"Thank you again for taking action tonight to deal with the [Imperial Weapon User] and the four Rakshasa ghosts.

"Having sensed your strength, I've decided to share with you, free of charge, information about a quest line that I find somewhat challenging. I wonder if you're interested?"

Fang Yi's eyes lit up. This time, the reincarnation space arranged a 'guide figure' for each reincarnator's 'birth point'.

He gained benefits from Daniel that far exceeded what normal reincarnations would gain by joining the [Revolutionary Army Camp]. He believed that there should be more than one such person.

Therefore, when Fang Yi heard that 'Banmu' was willing to share this task, he naturally knew that the other party had something to ask of him.

I'm afraid that this reincarnation wants to hug my thigh like I hug Esdeath's thigh, and at the same time get some preferential treatment from me.

For example, he uses his authority to maintain his leadership position in the temporary team he formed.

But Fang Yi didn't mind the other party having such little thoughts. As long as the other party understood the rules and knew to pay the points, that would be enough.

Even if you kill the opponent yourself, you will not gain any benefits in [Peaceful Mode].

As long as the other party is willing to cooperate with me, both I and he can benefit from my prophetic intelligence and the other party's temporary team and earn extra points.

After Fang Yi nodded, Madarame exploded.

“In the [Revolutionary Army Camp], I came into contact with a somewhat strange high-ranking figure who joined the [Merchant Liubao Camp].

“I think this character’s quest line may involve tasks related to the division and corruption of the revolutionary army.

"He should be a speculator or a puppet supported by the Empire. Perhaps we can use him to gain something.

“For example, we can try to unlock the Empire side through him and gain benefits from both sides at the same time.”
-
Any reincarnation who can reach the rank 2 must have good intelligence analysis skills, and Madarame's brain is obviously very flexible.

Fang Yi was naturally very interested in this valuable information, but he was even more interested in the identity of the businessman Liu Bao. After Fang Yi secretly promised to share some additional information with "Banarame", and to cooperate with him in some missions involving "evil organizations", he established him as his spokesperson among the reincarnations.

Madarame also straightforwardly told the merchant about the six treasures he presented to him, a huge night-shining pearl emitting a yellow halo, and also obtained information about a separate optional main quest.

After learning that Madarame needed to collect information about the Revolutionary Army's bases in the Imperial Capital and their characteristics, and compile this information into a book and place it at the designated intelligence receiving point in the Imperial Capital, he had to ask the magistrate to give him the information.

Fang Yi had a sense of déjà vu. He thought about it and finally understood where this sense of déjà vu came from.

Isn't this task exactly the same as what the dead 'hyena' asked me to do?

The hidden mission that I triggered also requires me to submit such a report about the revolutionary army to Minister [Ernest].

This businessman, Liu Bao, probably wants to get ahead of the minister and use the revolutionary army as a gift to gain access to the minister's fold.

[Or is he the minister's man, or an imperial spy?]

After Madarame and other reincarnations were put in danger on the road, Fang Yi was still thinking about this problem in order to perfect his plan to meet with the minister.

If his speculation is true, then meeting with the minister, which was originally a very simple task for him, will become an extremely risky task.

After thinking for half a minute, when Fang Yi was about to open the box, Disma came over.

The robber seemed to want to say something to Fang Yi.
-
The two people, who have collaborated several times, have obviously gotten past the stage of pushing and passing the spoils around like receiving red envelopes.

The robber simply handed over the [Imperial Weapon] [Swift Wind Sword] that he had just obtained, and Fang Yi took it.

After glancing at the hint given by the reincarnation space, he shook his head at the other party.

“The compatibility is low, so I need my spirit attribute to reach 25 points before I can use it normally.

"Besides, I'm not very good at using a machete, and the vacuum blade of this knife can't benefit from my skills and characteristics.

"Food is tasteless, but it is a pity to discard it."

Disma nodded, took back the scimitar without hesitation, and made a simple promise.

"I owe you one, and as payment for your murder, I will pay you what you deserve.

“But it will take some time. I will have to complete some missions before I can get better [Imperial Equipment] or items.

“Don’t refuse if becoming friends means you can make someone work for nothing without paying the wages they deserve for their work.

"A friend like that is no better than a random stranger. I cannot agree with this kind of relationship."

Fang Yi scratched his head. He didn't expect that this illiterate bandit could say such sensible words.

He had no choice but to give his promise.

"Don't worry, this will be more than the first time that murder happens.

"Next, your help will be indispensable in the difficult task ahead.

"Also, I think if friends are too calculating with each other, like strangers who just happened to meet, then wouldn't that be a waste of friendship?"

Disma was stunned for a moment. Obviously, he didn't expect that Fang Yi would soon find a "loophole" in the words he had been thinking about for a long time.

He had no choice but to change the subject abruptly.

“I can keep an eye out for what type of items or skill scrolls you need.

"My faction is the [Mausoleum Guardians], and there are many items that can be exchanged in the faction store.

"If you have a need, I will reserve camp contribution points for you to redeem first."

Disma's skill in changing the subject was poor, but he still managed to attract Fang Yi's attention.

Because there are a lot of really good things about this camp.
-
Fang Yi remembered that this camp had many good little skills and supplies in the prequel.

For example, a skill that can counter-injure the injuries caused by the enemy to your body by directly synchronizing them to the enemy's body in the form of a curse.

This type of skill can be used to defeat a wave of enemies when combined with [Reversal Spell·Strengthening] and [Five Emperors' Coins].

There is also [Gala Snake Wine] which has a stronger healing effect than [Oberg Recovery Medicine]. After drinking a bottle of this wine, moderate broken limbs and minor disabilities can be quickly healed.

This medicinal wine, made by soaking Gala snakes and supplementing them with several medicines, is a supply of great strategic value.

At the very least, it can make up for the limited window period of the treatment of [Reversal Technique·Strength] on your body, and serve as a life-saving insurance for your teammates.

After inquiring about the exchange price of the two items and even the possibility of obtaining the prescription, Fang Yi received a somewhat difficult task.

The hidden task of [Tomb Guardian] triggered by Disma, which can be completed repeatedly and obtain a large amount of faction contribution, is not killing, but a more complex and difficult task.

The mission required him to retrieve some treasures from the minister.

Previously, most of the funerary objects that the imperial assassination forces, acting as "tomb robbers," had stolen from the tombs guarded by these "tomb guardians" did not flow into the imperial treasury as funds, but became the personal collections of ministers.

In addition to revenge, the [Tomb Guardians] are more eager to take back the items that originally belonged to them, which were also the burial objects in the tombs that their ancestors had guarded for generations.

But the minister's residence is a more dangerous place than the imperial palace.

This minister has worked hard for so many years, and he has countless people under him, [Imperial Tool Users], and all kinds of strange alchemical items.

Wanting to steal treasures from his mansion and leave unscathed is basically a fantasy.

After learning the news, Fang Yi realized.

Not only do I have to attend this meeting with the minister, but I also have to accomplish a lot of things.

Not only must he gain his approval to quickly advance the [Talent Solidification] mission, but he must also try to obtain the minister's collection, find out Gozizi's whereabouts, and test the relationship between the merchant Liubao and the minister.

You even have to try to trigger the minister's hidden tasks to gain benefits.

On the way, after letting the robber go as requested, Fang Yi began to make new plans.

After obtaining a lot of information from Madarame and Disma, he prepared to formulate a more rigorous "fame plan" that could withstand verification and testing.
-
But after Chi Tong saw that there were only Fang Yi and himself on [Elmonda].

The former imperial assassin lady slowly approached Fang Yi and seemed to have something to say.

In just half a second, Fang Yi decided to postpone the unpacking time until after returning to the [Night Raid] base.

　My eyes were not feeling well yesterday, so the writing effect of the previous chapter was not good.

　　I took the time to rewrite it today, adding an extra 1k words. If you are interested, you can refresh and read it again.
