Chapter 160 - Back To Dalamu
Chapter 160 - Back To Dalamu
On their way back, Rean and Roan passed by Majorias City. There were a lot of Spirit Stones for Rean to retrieve and a few more High-Quality materials to get from Folca. Sure enough, Rean heard from Folca that his Steel Equipments got very popular among the low-level cultivators. Cheaper than a Low-Level Spiritual Equipment, but at the same time better than them. How could it not make a success?
After they left the Janariz Workshop, Rean decided to ask Sister Orb something.
'Sister orb, my Steel Weapons are spreading even more. Did we get a lot of Destiny points?'
Roan also got interested in that question.
[You did get a few Destiny Points. At the moment, you have 341. As you can see, you didn't get that many. Also, the number that you will gain from now on will decrease even more.]
Rean was taken aback. Steel weapons would probably get more and more popular. They will spread much further, and the number of users much higher. How could the point gained from it decrease?
Roan pondered a bit and then thought about a possibility.
'If I'm not wrong, that's because there is a limit of how many Destiny Points we can gain doing the same thing. Am I correct?'
[You are. You can say that this is a limitation gave by the Soul Gem System itself to prevent you from getting stuck. If you kept doing the same thing to get illimited Destiny Points, you wouldn't try to do anything anymore. From what I can see here, your Steel Equipments won't give more than a hundred points or so. After that, you can forget about getting any Destiny Points from it.]
Rean couldn't help but sigh. Still, if he was the one who developed the system, he would definitely have done the same. Since that was the case, he has no right to complain.
'Well, at least we got over 300 points. We should take this chance to buy the Soul Connection Range Upgrade.'
Roan agreed with Rean. Once they get back to the sect and become free, they will do it straight away. After that, they took the Mountain Eagle once more and departed.
Finally, Rean and Roan came back to the Dalamu Sect. First, they went to report to the Mission Hall the conclusion of their task. After all, they would also get sect points for that. Rank Four Missions give 400 to 800 points depending on their difficulty. The twins would definitely not let it pass.
However, when the disciple got the report of the mission conclusion, he was taken aback.
"What?! You killed two of the leaders and wiped out their nest?"
Rean and Roan got puzzled. They were only reporting the mission conclusion, was there a need to be that impressed?
However, the other disciples working at that moment also came to take a look. A minute later, even the elder in charge appeared. He checked the report and confirmed that it was the real deal. He couldn't help but look at Rean and Roan with shock in his eyes.
"I didn't expect that someone would be successful in this mission anytime soon. Let alone two brats at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment Realm. However, the seal in the report can't be faked, so I can only accept it. Congratulations, considering the level of the mission and your cultivation, there will be a bonus for its conclusion."
Roan finally understood what was happening. He then used the Soul Connection to explain it to Rean.
'Do you remember when we found out that quite a few disciples tried this mission before and failed?'
Rean nodded and waited for Roan to continue.
'Well, it seems like the number of fails was a lot higher than I thought. For them to act like this, it looks like quite a few teams had a bad time fighting the Gold Hands Bandit Group. So it is understandable that they can't believe we succeed.'
Rean couldn't help but nod. Otherwise, there would be no reason to be this shocked just because they concluded a mission. After all, mission conclusions are reported several times per day.
A disciple quickly processed the results and then asked Rean and Roan's Sect badge.
"This mission had an initial reward of 620 Sect Points. It was quite a big reward for this rank. However, it was allocated for Peak Stage Foundation Establishment Realm Disciples or Initial Stage of the Core Formation Realm ones. Since you could complete it while not being carried by the others, you will get a 20% bonus due to your cultivation levels. Each of you got 744 Sect Points."
Rean smiled and took his badge back. Roan's expression didn't change much, though. After that, they put their badges back and left. The disciples and the Mission Hall couldn't help but take one last look at those twins. The other disciples of the sect might not know that mission very well. Still, because they are the ones working here, they knew how annoying that mission was becoming after so many fails. Recently, they had even considered whether they should increase this mission's level to rank 5 instead.
The elder then looked at the seal used when the twins took the mission. That was Elder Hulian's token, which allowed talented disciples to take higher-level assignments than their cultivation allowed.
'Hulian really found quite good seeds. I can already see him bragging with the other inner sect elders when he finds out about this. Oh well, I'm just an outer sect elder, that has nothing to do with me.'
Rean and Roan didn't do anything else after that. Instead, the twins just went back to their rooms so that they could enter the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm and take their time buying the Soul Connection Range Upgrade.
Surprisingly, they just happened to bump into Julio and Lenna on their way in.
"Oh, there you are. How was your mission?"
Rean smiled before saying.
"It went quite well. What about you, have you decided to take a mission already?"
Julio and Lenna laughed after that.
"We already did. Lenna and I went to the Mission Hall with Mizan. The three of us took a demon beast subjugation task in Lanoy Village after that. Yet, I didn't think we would conclude our mission before you. It's been over a week since we came back."
Rean nodded after hearing that.
"Well, our mission was quite far away, and it did take some time to wrap everything up. But it's good to see that you went out to train."
After that, the four of them talked a little more. Well, Roan didn't say much in the end. The only time he spoke was when Julio and Lenna asked him about their progress with the Death Style and their doubts about it. Other than that, he kept silent.
"Alright! Lenna and I still have something to do. See you two later."
Rean and Roan nodded and were just about to leave when Julio remembered something else.
"Oh, right! Malaka came here a week ago looking for the two of you."
The twins stopped and looked back to hear the rest.
"Did she need something?"
Julio nodded.
"She said something about a promise Rean made with her, but she didn't talk about the details."
Rean immediately remembered that promise. He told her back in the Blue Orchid District that he would take her out to play as long as she finished the Spiritual Rebirth.
"Also, she said that her Senior Sisters would take her out for a mission, so she would come to visit you once she was done with it."
Rean and Roan were surprised to see that Malaka didn't complain about taking a mission. Nevertheless, they thanked Julio and Lenna for delivering the message and went back to their rooms.
'What do you think her mission is about? Should we go to the Mission Hall to check?'
Roan shooked his head.
'That's something she needs, so leave it. We might have promised her parents to take care of her, but we can't be by her side all the time. A mission with other disciples is a good thing for her own independence.'
Rean nodded and then focused on the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. Roan did the same thing as him. Right after, the two disappeared from their rooms.
