Douluo Continent: On Becoming a God Through Science

Chapter 27 Thirteen Mission Rewards

In just over half a month, You Chen completed a total of thirteen tasks and obtained a large number of task rewards.

However, not all tasks are like Jiang Liu's task, which offers extra rewards.

For missions without extra rewards, the best rewards are either a "Beginner Experience Pill" or a "Soul Ring Age Enhancement Card (100 Years)".

They received three medals and three cards respectively.

However, this is best considered in relation to his age at the time...

The former could save him about a year of his prime training time, while the latter could significantly improve his combat power during his youth.

But now? It's better than nothing.

He had already taken the experience pill from the system space and given it directly to Grace.

Although Grace is quite talented, she was already over ten years old when she was bought and has been with him for more than ten years. Now she is 29 years old and approaching 30.

Even if I throw all my resources at it, I can only ever become a Soul Emperor at most.

This head maid had always been by his side, and even if she hadn't done anything particularly meritorious, she had certainly worked hard. Not only did she have to manage many affairs in the mansion every day, but she also had to take care of You Chen's nightlife.

This experience pill, which was of little use to her, was still somewhat useful to Grace.

Rather than using it to train soul beasts, You Chen preferred to give it to his close maid. Three of them had already increased her soul power by one level.

Aside from that, most of the mission rewards are just nutrient pills, strength pills, etc.

These pills can't be said to be completely useless...

Given You Chen's current research capabilities, if he were to gather a large quantity of such products, it's not impossible that he could develop similar products.

The problem is that it's enough to research low-level pills that are of the same level as those produced by the system in a short period of time. But researching pills that he can use himself would take an unknown amount of time, and there's no guarantee of success.

As for the Experience Pill, this creation, which has absolutely no side effects and whose efficacy does not diminish, is completely beyond You Chen's current theoretical level. You Chen does not believe in the slightest that he can develop even a product of a lower level.

With self-improvement now You Chen's primary goal, things that consume a lot of energy are naturally put aside for the time being.

In addition, it is also for the purpose of studying some of the patterns in the system.

You Chen didn't hesitate much when he first gave up on a mission that only offered ordinary pills as a reward.

The rule of abandoning the mission was then discovered logically.

There will be no penalty for abandoning the mission, but the mission will not refresh immediately; you will have to wait a day for it to refresh again at midnight.

After completing more than a dozen tasks, You Chen concluded that the task rewards were roughly divided into only a few categories.

The first category is cultivation resources such as elixirs.

Nutrition pills, strength pills, and experience pills are examples of this type.

The second category is martial arts techniques and skills.

The "Breath Convergence Technique" and the "Soul-Stealing Technique" are of this type.

These cultivation techniques and martial arts skills are "picked up and bound," meaning they are directly absorbed into one's mind after acquisition and will not be forgotten. You Chen can simply recall them and browse the entire text in his mind like flipping through a book.

The third category consists of modern creations, or products of modern scientific civilization.

Following the "Friendly Premium Candy," he also received the "Ordinary SeaX Refrigerator," the "Sister's Fan," and the "Watermelon-Flavored Electronic Cigarette"...

These rewards are somewhat like bonuses from the system; after all, in this world where extraordinary powers exist, these things don't actually increase one's strength.

But You Chen soon realized that they were not some meaningless jokes.

They are treasures that can improve living conditions!

Given Douluo Continent's technological capabilities and conditions, even if You Chen knew about these technological products, it would be difficult for him to manufacture them from scratch.

But it's different when you have samples.

He could easily reverse engineer and create a replacement powered by soul power.

Improving quality of life is only one aspect; their true hidden value lies in exploring untapped markets and acquiring vast wealth and resources!

Then there's the fourth category: special resources that directly enhance a Soul Master's attributes.

Soul Ring Age Enhancement Cards, Adaptive First Soul Rings, and perhaps even Soul Bone Enhancement Cards in the future? These can all be categorized into this type.

These types of resources are all soul-bound and cannot be retrieved from the system space; they can only be used directly by the user.

Finally, there is the fifth category: special cases and others.

The reason is that You Chen has only received one reward that can be categorized into this type so far.

It was named "A Flash of Inspiration".

As the name suggests, after using it, Youchen can enter a state similar to enlightenment, with his mind becoming incredibly sharp and clear, generating numerous inspirations.

Whether it's used to figure out some research problems, optimize meditation methods, soul skills, martial arts techniques, or enhance the ability to use soul power, it will probably be very effective.

The uses are endless.

It can be described as a versatile item that will never go out of style.

This is also the most valuable reward among the thirteen missions that You Chen believes he has received.

It's hard to say whether we'll get it again in the future. Judging from the drop rate alone, this item is extremely rare.

You Chen has no plans to use it for the time being.

Aside from a flash of inspiration, among the many mission rewards, You Chen currently values ​​the martial arts techniques and skills rewarded by the system the most.

In fact, You Chen spent most of his free time over the past ten days studying the cultivation techniques and martial arts skills provided by the system.

Although they are described as "martial arts techniques" or "cultivation methods," after arriving in the Douluo World, they all become physical constitutions adapted to the Douluo World, similar to self-created soul skills or some family secret techniques.

Unfortunately, most of them were not as powerful as You Chen had imagined, and unlike the "Concealing Breath Technique," they did not give him the vague feeling that there was something hidden inside.

The most valuable item here is the extra reward You Chen received when he defeated Jiang Liu: the "Soul-Stealing Technique," a mental-type skill.

The reason is simple. As mentioned before, You Chen has an innate talent in spiritual cultivation. Consequently, the power of the "Soul-Stealing Technique" will be significantly greater than that of others, even at the same cultivation level.

Most importantly... he cultivated very quickly!

Yes, that's the key point!

Despite Tang San's proficiency in Purple Demon Eye, Crane Control and Dragon Capture, Ghost Shadow Tracking, and Mysterious Heaven Skill, many readers naturally overlook the fact that Tang San had already cultivated these techniques to a very high level in his previous life after he began his adventures in Douluo Continent.

These self-created soul skills, except for a few with special levels, can basically be classified into cultivation stages as beginner, minor success, major success, and perfection.

The skills Tang San used were at least at the advanced level.

That's why he kept using the skills from these Mysterious Heavenly Treasure Records even in the very late stages of the story.

As for others? They have to start from scratch, otherwise they can never match the effects of soul rings and soul skills.
