501 The Green Fire Island Lord (1/2)

The mission to gather identity tokens awarded different battle credits for different types of tokens. This was clearly outlined in the mission details. For example, a hundred battle credits would be awarded for the submission of an identity token that belonged to an outer sect disciple!

This surprised Wang Baole. He wouldn't have felt this way without a basis of comparison available. Compared to the majority of the earlier missions he had seen, which only awarded single- or double-digit battle credits, an outer sect disciple's identity token would earn one hundred battle credits. It was clearly quite a good reward.

What kind of disciple am I now? I wasn't issued an identity token after arriving at the Vast Expanse Dao Palace… Wang Baole lost himself in thought. He recalled what Little Missy had shared about the power and strength of the Vast Expanse Dao Palace. Then, he considered the current state of the Vast Expanse Dao Palace. A thought began to form in his mind.

Perhaps this isn't the real Vast Expanse Dao Palace. The real Vast Expanse Dao Palace rests in the sword body that's pierced through the sun… The identity tokens that the mission requires are the identity tokens belonging to the disciples of the former Vast Expanse Dao Palace!

Wang Baole continued reading the mission details as he thought over the matter. He soon saw the reward for an inner sect disciple's identity token. It was worth a thousand battle credits!

Wang Baole's heart began to speed up at the sight of that. His eyes almost popped out of their sockets when he saw that there were other higher-tiered rewards.

Twenty thousand credits for core disciples!

Twenty-five thousand credits… for an Elder's token!

And… oh my god, a Grand Supreme Elder's identity token is actually worth… five million credits! Wang Baole might have been able to hold back his shock for the earlier rewards, but when he found out that the final reward for a Grand Supreme Elder's identity token was five million credits, he couldn't control his gasp of shock.

His gasp was heard by another Vast Expanse Dao Palace cultivator who had just received his own mission and was about to leave. The cultivator rolled his eyes and glanced at Wang Baole. He had been scornful at first, but then he noticed Wang Baole's figure. The scorn on his face eased away. Even though he could tell that Wang Baole wasn't a cultivator from the Vast Expanse Dao Palace, and despite having heard many rumors regarding the group of cultivators who had come from the Federation on Earth, Wang Baole's figure still made him see Wang Baole in a different light. He smiled and said.

”If I can get my hands on the Grand Supreme Elder's identity token, I'd be an idiot to give it away for five million credits. That thing… if you can get your hands on it, the rights it contains could probably allow you to command the entire sect!”

Wang Baole turned his head upon hearing those words. He blinked. The cultivator standing beside him had a child-like face that showed no hint of his age. His cultivation was like his own, at the early-stage Core Formation realm. As for his status—the disciples around them seemed polite to him when they saw him.

These were unimportant. What was most important… was his figure. What Wang Baole saw was a man who stood above the rest, exemplary and incredibly slim.

As Wang Baole eyed the fat cultivator's figure, the other also glanced at Wang Baole's tummy. Approval flashed across his eyes. He smiled and said.

”Fellow Daoist, you've got quite a nice figure.”

Wang Baole's eyes flashed. He coughed and spoke.

”Since we both have such amazing figures, why not get to know each other better?” As he spoke, Wang Baole pulled out a bag of snacks that had already been opened from his storage bracelet and handed it over to the fat cultivator.

The fat cultivator had been about to say something before he saw the snacks and promptly forgot what he was going to say next. He took the bag and sniffed at it. Then, he pulled a piece out, popped it into his mouth, and tasted it. His eyes lit up.

”The taste is a bit funny, but it's not bad at all.” As he spoke, he pulled out a few fruits from his storage bag and threw them at Wang Baole.

They appeared to make their acquaintances through this exchange of snacks. They didn't engage in any deeper conversation, though they did exchange their contact details before leaving.
