First daily missions

The first thing that Lin Fan did the next morning was open up the system to look at the daily missions tab.

Just like the system had said, there had been missions generated that filled the screen now.

There were three missions and the missions had been organized from easy to hard.

The mission at the top was clearly the easy one, but it was so easy that Lin Fan almost couldn't believe it.

[Daily Mission] Have Breakfast

Difficulty: Easy

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so you shouldn't skip it or you won't have enough energy for the rest of your day. Be sure to have some breakfast today.

Have breakfast: 0/1

Reward: 1 exchange point.

Have breakfast?

That was all he needed to do to finish this quest?

Well, the reward for it was fitting since it was definitely the easiest mission that he could do.

Of course, it wasn't as if he wasn't going to do it. After all, it was easy enough that he could just do it right now.

He turned his attention away from the first mission and turned to the second mission.

[Daily Mission] Slaying Beasts

Difficulty: Medium

Only by constantly fighting new enemies can you become stronger. Hunt down some beasts with your pets for training.

Beasts hunted:

First Qi Gathering Realm Spirit Beast: 0/2

Second Qi Gathering Realm Spirit Beast: 0/1

Reward: 20 exchange points.

Now this seemed more like a normal daily mission.

Hunting beasts was something that he was already doing and in most games, this would be considered something that would need to be done daily.

The one that surprised him the most was the final daily mission.

It was the hard mission, but the content was just…

[Daily Mission] Assassinate the city lord

Difficulty: Hard

Seeking powerful enemies is the only way to grow stronger. Fight the strongest enemy that you can currently beat to experience the true pressure of combat.

City lord assassinated: 0/1

Reward: 1000 exchange points.

Lin Fan couldn't help looking at this final daily mission with black lines on his face.

This was just too much of a jump compared to the other two missions…

After all, the other two missions only involved having breakfast and hunting some spirit beasts which was already what he did on a daily basis. But when did he start assassinating city lords on a daily basis?

There was just nothing that he could say in response to this…

Well, it wasn't that there was nothing since he could still complain to the system.

"System, what is with this hard difficulty daily mission? Don't you think that it's completely out of place compared to the other missions?"

"Host, the missions have been carefully chosen based on your current situation and your daily routine. Please do not doubt the system's abilities."

Lin Fan's face turned dark as he said, "Carefully chosen based on my current situation and my daily routine? When have I ever assassinated a city lord or even thought about assassinating one? Can you really say that it was carefully chosen? Not to mention, can I even do that?"

The system said in a calm mechanical voice, "All daily missions have been generated with success rates calculated. Only missions that have a success rate of over 20% are allowed to be added to the list to be accepted."

Lin Fan was surprised to hear this.

20% wasn't that high, but considering what kind of mission this was, it was considered quite high.

He didn't believe that it was true since if he had a 20% chance of assassinating the city lord, would he be in the situation that he currently was?

What he didn't know was that the city lord of this small city was only in the Fourth Qi Gathering Realm and none of his subordinates were even close to the Fourth Qi Gathering Realm. With all the pets that he currently had, it was indeed more than possible for him to assassinate the city lord.

The only problem was that there was someone behind the city lord.

While the top power in this cultivation realm was the sects, there were still countries that ruled over the mortals. These countries were all backed by the sects since the sects needed these mortal countries to recruit more disciples.

The country that Lin Fan was currently in was called the Everlasting Empire and it was one of the biggest countries in the surrounding region. It had countless experts and it was even said that there was a Qi Condensation Realm that was backing the royal family.

This was an expert in the Qi Condensation Realm that was even above the Foundation Realm, this was an expert that could even become an outer sect elder in a sect!

But Lin Fan would only have to worry about that if he ever was crazy enough to attack the city lord, which of course he wasn't.

So Lin Fan just ignored this hard difficulty mission and focused on the other two easier missions.

The next few days passed by as usual with Lin Fan taking missions from the Mercenary Guild and going out to hunt spirit beasts.

Of course, since days were passing by, that meant he was also receiving new daily missions with each passing day.

The only problem was that the hard difficulty missions were always as crazy as the one he had received on the first day.

The other two missions were quite simple like either having lunch or going out to find some herbs, but the hard difficulty mission was always something that would bring disaster to him.

The second day.

[Daily mission] Steal from the Merchants Guild

Difficulty: Hard

Seeking powerful enemies is the only way to grow stronger. Fight the strongest enemy that you can currently beat to experience the true pressure of combat.

Loot gained: 0/1000

Reward: 1000 exchange points.

The third day.

[Daily mission] Storm the Drifting Cloud Chamber of Commerce

Difficulty: Hard

Seeking powerful enemies is the only way to grow stronger. Fight the strongest enemy that you can currently beat to experience the true pressure of combat.

Loot gained: 0/1329

Reward: 1000 exchange points.

The fourth day…

The fifth day…

All the way until the seventh day when Lin Fan finally couldn't take it anymore and said to the system, "System, are you sure that your calculations for the daily missions are correct? Because it seems to me that it should be malfunctioning with the missions that you keep giving me!"

The system said in the same cold and mechanical voice, "Host, the system's calculations are made with…" The system gave a bunch of technical terms that seemed very complicated that Lin Fan couldn't understand at all, but they all seemed very impressive, so Lin Fan couldn't refute the system at all.

In the end, the system said with a soft snort, "Host, please do not try to blame the system for your own incompetence. The system is only giving you all the options that you have."

Lin Fan couldn't help being stunned by these words and the snort the system gave.

This was completely unlike the system that Lin Fan had spoken to when he first came to this world…

Lin Fan couldn't help asking in a doubtful voice, "System, you're speaking much more fluently after leveling up, aren't you?"

The system said in its cold and mechanical voice, "No, the system is speaking the same way as always."

Lin Fan couldn't help shaking his head and saying, "No, no, you wouldn't have spoken to me like this before, you know? It's clear that you've changed after leveling up."

The system said, "It's just your imagination."

Lin Fan was stunned when he heard this and then said, "See! That's something you never would have said before!"'

The system then said in a stressed voice, "It's just your imagination."

Seeing how firm the system's voice was, Lin Fan had no choice but to back down and said, "Oh, alright."

But deep down, he knew that the system had changed since it had leveled up.

…

It had been a week since Lin Fan had given the new products to Yue Lan, so he decided that he would go and check on the store to see how it was going.

It was also a good time to let Xiao Yue and Lala have a day off since his medium difficulty daily mission today was just sparring with his pets. He didn't need to leave the city to do that, he could just do that in the city or even in the Pet Storage Space, so it was a good time to rest up after grinding out missions for six days straight.

He gave Lala and Xiao Yue some money, but not too much since they were saving up. Then he sent them off to the market to let them do a bit of shopping on their own.

The girls were naturally happy to do some shopping, so they quickly ran off, leaving Lin Fan by himself.

Lin Fan didn't mind since he was happy to see them this happy.

Lin Fan just slowly headed to Yue Lan's store that had now been named New World.

He didn't know where Yue Lan had gotten this name, but that was the name that she told him.

As he walked through the streets, his sharp senses picked out several shady people. As he approached the store, he found that there were even more shady people hanging around the store.

It was as he had expected.

As the store's profits increased, there were more and more people hanging around trying to get a piece of that profit.

It seemed like he needed to talk to Yue Lan about increasing the security in the store.
