Chapter 298: Lu Fengxians Generosity and Kindness (1/2)
”What happened to my quests? Will I still get rewarded if I complete it?”
Quests affected Miaomiao's lifestyle and goals. Therefore, he was worried if the tie-severance might affect everything, including quests, system features, Wei Yuan's System, and ITS. After all, he had no idea if the nameless sponsor might have tampered or done something to the system.
[You will still need to complete it since it was enforced on me and father. The reward pools are still the same since that SOB has deposited them with me.]
[Also, I know what you're thinking. I can't cancel or edit the quest since the quest content, conditions, and rewards are encrypted with a dao signature. I can't unlock or decrypt it with my current authority strength.]
”So, I still have to get that Liu Bian, eh?”
[Yes, unfortunately.]
”Let me change the question,” Miaomiao wondered if Dion might force him to do random tasks or continue hunting protagonists. ”Do I still have to hunt protagonists in the future?”
[That depends on father. Do you still want to roam around and hunt every protagonist?]
”No.”
[Then, you won't get similar quests. Everything depends on your desire, goals, conditions, and will. I'm different from God-generated quests that enforced tasks upon the system users. System-generated quests are like prayers. You pray that you want to do something, and you try to achieve it with your own strength. After you achieve your goal, a certain amount of luck will gather inside you, depending on the difficulty of that tasks. Then, I can convert luck power into a materialized object as quest rewards.]
That was a piece of good news, but the explanation sparked other concerns.
The Q&A went on…
…
Miaomiao didn't sleep the entire night. He still stared at the semi-transparent screen before him, reading Dion's messages.
”Can't you be a bit more lenient? I'm your father, you know?”
[For the sake of getting stronger and harvest more luck, we need to go through harsh quests to win the gamble. After all, quests work similarly as dao oath, but you can abuse it to gather luck from Heaven and Earth. This is the best method to awaken your 13th meridian and obtain natural resources. If you can even achieve something impossible, you will be able to generate Heavenly Fate Piece by yourself!]
Dion had revealed that she would be able to manipulate future quest contents and rewards as long as Miaomiao could free himself from the nameless sponsor's quests first. In short, Miaomiao had to either hunt Liu Bian or steal his Heavenly Fate Piece before he could become semi-independent.
He was still Lu Fengxian's apostle after all.
Still, Dion wanted the best for Miaomiao. She tried to convince him to let her generate high-difficulty quests for him in the future.
As Miaomiao and Dion debated, someone talked inside Miaomiao's head.
'Did you have fun talking with your system daughter all night? It's about time to head to the stadium. Also, do you have a grain pill on you?'
While Miaomiao and Dion were talking about their future, Lu Fengxian's voice resounded inside Miaomiao's head.
The voice transmission wasn't something new, but what alarmed Miaomiao was Lu Fengxian's words.
He knew about his system!?
CRAP!
HAD HE LEARNED ABOUT THE PROTAGONIST HUNTING QUESTS!?
Miaomiao was panicked. His face lost color, and he sweated a waterfall.
”Erm, Master Ding, did you hear what I talked with my system? Wait, do you understand the concept of the system!?”
'I can't see your system through our shared vision. But from the conversation that you've been talking to yourself all night, I can tell that you're a system user. For now, come to the stadium first, and we'll talk.'
”…”
…
Without saying or thinking anything, Miaomiao flew to the stadium and reunite with Jia Shan, Ma Ping, Ma Moxi, and the girls.
Xu Xiuying was also there, standing behind Ma Ping, smiling as if she was never a captive. Luo Cheng, Luo Song, and the other girls were nearby, keeping a distance away from Ding Bu and Miaomiao's party.
Ding Bu sat on the only couch in the VIP box room while everybody stood behind him.
”Good morning, Master Ding…”
Miaomiao entered the room and cupped his fist, reporting to Lu Fengxian as he had become the boss here.
”My real name is Lu Fengxian. Well, you can call me by this body's surname if you want to, but I prefer my real name.”
”Understood, Master Lu.”
”Anyway, have you settled things with your… luck?”
Lu Fengxian didn't mention Miaomiao's system in front of many people in the room, which Miaomiao appreciated.
”It clarified a few doubts, but I have a lot of questions in my mind.”
”I know. Everybody always has a lot of questions when they first get to talk with their [Luck]. Well, I'll try to answer your questions if you have one. After all, I'm your master now.”
”…”
Miaomiao didn't know whether he should be glad or sad. He had broken free from Silver Phoenix Sect and Xu Xiuying, but he ended up being chained by this protagonist.
Not everything went according to the plan.
”Can you see my [Luck]?” Miaomiao probed Lu Fengxian if he had learned something about his system.
”Ah, there were many people of your kind in the ancient past. I also met a handful of people with a similar [Luck].”
Both Miaomiao and Lu Fengxian used the codename instead of mentioning it as [System], which left everybody here confused.
”What are they like?”
Lu Fengxian closed his eyes as he reminiscing the time when he was in the immortal realms. Instead of answering Miaomiao's question, he changed the subject as if he didn't want to talk about them.
”Every a million genius cultivator, there will always be one or two [Luck] users. They convert their imagination and LUCK into a unique power that nobody can learn or steal from them. Well, I don't need to explain this point since you've probably named your [Luck] already.”
Everyone sensed frustration in Lu Fengxian's tone, but nobody said anything.
