Chapter 998: Work Consultation Room
After cultivating for a good while, Ning Shu said to 2333, “Let’s go visit the fabricated space.”
Ning Shu wanted to interact with the other task-takers more. She kind of wanted to find out how they completed their tasks. She felt that it was starting to become a bit difficult to complete her tasks. She was stuck in the same place and also couldn’t get that many points. If things continued to go on like this, when would she be able to become a mid-level task-taker?
Ning Shu stood at the entrance of the fabricated space. After an intense sensation of falling, when she opened her eyes again, she was already in a city in the fabricated space.
The bustling city was filled with task-takers, but despite there being so many people, Ning Shu didn’t know any of them. In a lifetime, the hardest things to obtain were intimate friends and a lasting true love.
However, it was fine to not have them. Everyone’s opinions on friends and love was different. When there was interaction, there was friction, and with friction there was always need to concede and compromise.
Ning Shu strolled around the city and looked at all the tools available. All the exchange requests were different. Some required points, others required merit or faith points.
Ning Shu was simply just looking. Most of the things she couldn’t afford at all. She didn’t have many points from the start and she still needed three million to become a mid-level task-taker. Above the ranking of mid-level, there was still the high-level task-takers and then the super high-level task-takers. As for what else there was above that, Ning Shu’s knowledge was too superficial to know.
Ning Shu strolled around for a while, then felt it very pointless. There was no one here she could talk to and no one here that she recognized.
She was planning to head back when she saw a shop at the corner of the street. The shop’s name was Work Consultation Room.
Ning Shu thought for a moment, then walked into the consultation room. There was incense burning in the shop. Even in her spiritual state, smelling this fragrance seemed to make a comfortable coolness seep into her soul and calm her mood.
Ning Shu sniffed harder to take in the smell of the incense. A man walked out. He had long silver hair that was tied up and he was very tall. His skin was white and clean with exceptionally beautiful looks.
His facial features individually didn’t seem to be anything special, but somehow, when they were combined, they seemed exceptionally beautiful.
He was holding a leather book. He glanced at Ning Shu, then said, “Have a seat.”
His voice was slightly cool and didn’t seem to be very enthusiastic at the sight of Ning Shu, this customer.
Ning Shu sat down opposite him. The man lowered his head and started flipping through the book he was holding. He didn’t even lift his head as he asked Ning Shu, “What would you like advice on?”
“I just wanted to ask how to increase the amount of points I get while doing tasks?” Ning Shu felt that she had entered a bottleneck.
The man lifted his head and glanced at Ning Shu. As he moved, his hair shone with silver light.
The man closed the book and said, “The entrustors offer up half of their soul energy and sometimes even more. What is it for?”
“For the sake of changing their tragic lives and obtaining happiness?” said Ning Shu.
“What kind of life counts as a happy life? As a successful life? Power, money, status, or reputation. Achieving any of these counts as having a successful life,” said the man.
Ning Shu glanced at him. “Can you put it in plainer terms?”
“It means that not only do you have to fulfill the entrustor’s wishes, you must also help the entrustor obtain a happy life. Or perhaps the entrustor wants to become like a specific type of person. In that case, you should do your best to help them become that sort of person. For example, if your entrustor likes drawing and wishes to become a painter, if you complete these kinds of hidden tasks, you’ll naturally get plenty of points. Power, money, status, and reputation. If one of them is achieved, then the counter attack counts as successful,” explained the man in more detail.
Ning Shu’s eyes widened in realization. So it was like that? No wonder she sometimes felt that there were a lot of points and other times there wasn’t.
If she only helped fulfill the entrustor’s wishes, it doesn’t count as successfully counterattacking life for them.
“If you don’t get much points, it indicates that the entrustor didn’t offer up much of their soul. That means the entrustor isn’t very satisfied with how you did the task and may even offer up their soul again to request for another task-taker to help them counterattack.”
Ning Shu nodded. She got the overall picture now.
“Thank you,” said Ning Shu gratefully.
“No need. The fee is three hundred thousand points,” said the man mildly.
