Hidden Quest

Wang Jun wasn't initially optimistic about using this kind of healing elixir that could be exchanged for only 1 point of contribution value, especially considering how severely injured the person before him was. But then, in a turn of events he did not expect, the seriously injured and unconscious individual opened their eyes!

Lu Lu, witnessing this miraculous moment, couldn't contain her surprise. "How can Ordinary looking pill be so powerful!"

What followed was even more astonishing. The claw marks on the injured person's back began to heal rapidly, leaving no scars behind. The unbelievable scene left Lu Lu in a state of incredulity.

"How is this possible?" Lu Lu pondered, her voice filled with wonder and doubt. She couldn't help but question the reality of what she is witnessing.

The injured person, now awake and aware, reassured them with a simple statement,

"I am ok now."

In an astonishing turn of events, the man's severe injury seemed to heal almost instantly, and he sprang up from the ground, fully revitalized.

"Severely injured, in a coma, and on the brink of death one moment, and then jumping up to life in such a short time after taking the elixir? How incredible!" Wang Jun exclaimed, his laughter filled with excitement.

The realization struck him like a bolt of lightning. "I am gonna be a billionaire!" Wang Jun couldn't contain his enthusiasm. The healing pill, available for redemption with just 1 point of contribution value, had displayed an unbelievably potent healing effect.

"People in the martial arts world don't just talk about overcoming lameness and minor injuries; even serious injuries are a part of our lives," Wang Jun mused, his mind racing with possibilities. "The first treatment pill has such a powerful effect; it's absolutely invaluable!"

With this newfound knowledge, Wang Jun couldn't help but see the healing medicine as not only a lifesaver but also a potential source of wealth in the martial arts world.

"The first-tier healing pill has an incredibly powerful effect; it's practically priceless!" Wang Jun exclaimed, his excitement growing. He envisioned exchanging the remaining contribution points and finding a way to sell these elixirs at a premium price. With the funds, he could expand and embellish the martial arts site, making it an irresistible attraction for potential disciples.

His enthusiasm continued to surge, and he quickly accessed the system panel to exchange the remaining 4 points of contribution value for more initial healing pills.

He clicked to open the Sect Mall.

"Junior Mall," he selected with a click.

As he scrolled down to find the first-tier healing pill, his excitement was palpable. However, his joy turned to frustration when he read the line of small gray text beneath it: "once a month purchase limit."

Wang Jun sat down with a wry smile, realizing that there was a purchase limit.

"This uncle has limited purchase!" he muttered in disappointment.

Seeing his reaction, Lu Lu couldn't help but wonder, "What happened to him?"

After witnessing the remarkable effectiveness of the first-tier healing pill, Wang Jun began envisioning a brighter future. However, the realization that he could only purchase four of them each month felt like fine needles piercing his dreams. It was as if he had been soaring high with balloons, only to have them burst, sending him plummeting from the sky in an instant.

"Yes, yes," he mumbled, trying to rationalize the situation. "The mainline task is very difficult, and the system will not leave me such obvious bugs," he thought, putting on a brave face despite his disappointment.

He sighed and attempted to stand up, but to his surprise, the injured person had disappeared. Perplexed, he asked aloud, "Well, what about that person?"

"Gone," came the simple reply.

"Leave without even saying a Thank you?" Wang Jun burst into laughter, nearly falling to the ground.

The exchange of just 1 valuable contribution point for the recovery of that person's injury, followed by his silent departure, left a bitter taste in his mouth. Lu Lu couldn't help but voice her indifference, "Head, I advise you to be a bit more ruthless. Being a good person in the Starfall Continent often doesn't lead to a good end."

Wang Jun, however, took no offense at her and said. "I don't believe it. There's no conscience left in this world!"

"Conscience?" Lu Lu's eyes filled with a dark intensity, and she ground her teeth as she retorted, "Some people's consciences have long been devoured by dogs."

wang Jun often chuckled despite the tension in the air.

Lu Lu has gone from appearing mildly angered to displaying extremely Terrifying killing intent.

After observing her, Wang Jun became increasingly certain that the story behind this woman was far from a pleasant one.

Wang Jun's initial intention was to perform acts of kindness. He had hoped to rescue the injured person and bring him into his cause, symbolized by his solid strike sect. However, the outcome was far from what he expected. The individual he helped didn't even utter a word of thanks before disappearing.

Wang Jun found himself feeling quite helpless as he reflected on the situation. It had become increasingly clear to him that in this world, chasing after virtuous actions and trying to do good deeds might be a futile endeavor, something he now considered rather foolish.

In this new world, there were no legal constraints like on Earth. Moral boundaries, too, seemed to be scarce, and there was a distinct lack of moral accountability.

Wang Jun raised his eyes to the heavens, with a smile and in a firm tone he said, "Since coming to the Starfall Continent, I will naturally adhere to its rules from this day forward."

"Strength is respect!" It was a stark contrast to the societal norms he had known on Earth.

"To avoid being bullied, to possess rights and wealth, to have a following and adoration – all of it can be achieved. But first and foremost, you must be strong, a force to be reckoned with, someone who can shake the very foundations of this world!"

"Ding!"

"Congratulations to the host for the initial understanding of the Starfall Continent's laws, completing hidden tasks, and rewarding 10 points of contribution!"

"Ding!"

"Sect contribution: 14/100."

Wang Jun's smile widened as he asked, "Hidden tasks?"

"Yes,"

came the voice from the system. It continued,

"The tasks of the strongest martial system are divided into mainline tasks, sideline tasks, and hidden tasks."

"Hidden tasks are concealed within the panel, and the host must stumble upon them by chance," the system explained.

Triggering branch missions usually required some sort of action or event, something tangible to follow, but hidden tasks being entirely reliant on coincidence felt like an absurd setup.

"Of course,"

the system continued, "there is a fourth type of task, known as an epic task."

"Epic mission?"

Wang Jun's interest was piqued.

The system clarified, "When the host reaches a certain level, it will trigger an epic task, and upon completion, you will receive a very substantial reward."

"How substantial?" Wang Jun inquired eagerly.

The system responded, "The rewards for epic missions will be determined based on the host's accomplishments and the level of mastery reached within their realm."

Wang Jun couldn't help but joke, "So, the better I complete it and the higher my realm, the richer the reward, right?"

The system responded, "Yes."

Curiosity got the better of him, and he asked, "When can I trigger an epic mission?"

The system, however, remained elusive, stating, "I'm sorry, but the host must discover the conditions for an epic task through exploration. The system won't provide too many hints to maintain balance."

Wang Jun playfully rolled his eyes and, with a smile, opened the property panel, entering the Martial Arts Mall. After unexpectedly completing a hidden task and gaining 10 points of contribution, he felt the urge to spend them Now.

"What's the best choice?"

Jun often found himself laughing and hesitating as he scanned the rows of goods, each item seeming enticing and worthy of exchange.

As he contemplated his choices, Lu Lu walked ahead and informed him, "Head, Azure sun City is up ahead."

Wang Jun chuckled and withdrew the data panel. To his surprise, as he gazed ahead, he saw a city that resembled a lion resting in the sky.

He quipped, "Is this Azure sun Town, the largest city in Azure sun County? It's not quite what I expected."

As they continued their journey, Wang Jun marveled at the towering city walls that reached several tens of meters in height. He couldn't help but express his amazement, exclaiming, " it's so tall!"

Passers-by couldn't help but give him incredulous looks. One even whispered, "Even if this guy hasn't seen Azure sun City, he should have at least heard of it."

Another passerby couldn't help but comment, "That girl looks good, is she with him?"

Lu Yan instinctively took a few steps back, creating a bit of distance between herself and Wang Jun, as if signaling to onlookers that she was not connected to him.

Wang Jun, however, shrugged off the actions of passers-by and grinned confidently, "In the future, the Solid Strike School will be bigger than Azure sun City!"

A passerby couldn't help but wonder aloud, "Solid Strike School? Is this person a disciple of the Qingyang Village Solid Strike school?''

Wang Jun turned around with a smile, placing his hands on his waist, and proudly declared, "Wrong. I am not just a disciple; I am the second head of the Solid Strike School!"

There was a moment of stunned silence at the city gate, followed by bursts of laughter.

"Haha!"

"Is this guy for real?"

"Come on, cut the comedy!"

"Even though the Solid Strike faction exists, it's not something just anyone can become the leader of!"

"Hahaha... no, seriously, I'm laughing so hard I might cry!"
