Chapter 145 An Unknown Gift

"Your salary is 100,000 a month, and it will be deposited into your account regularly. Occasionally, there will be some scattered tasks in the task hall; anyone who sees one that's suitable can accept it. Important tasks are usually assigned directly to specific individuals, and the rewards for completion are very generous. Generally speaking, newcomers to the N09 area won't have any tasks posted in their first month, but..."

Rose pushed open the door in front of her, and inside was a huge conference room with two neat rows of people sitting in it.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, I've brought the person over. Let's begin the meeting."

All the curtains in the conference room fell down with a single click, revealing white lettering and images of people on a huge transparent glass panel.

"An emergency occurred this morning. Professor Wenxing departed on flight HZ3523 at 8:10 AM. The base received a distress signal at 9:20 AM, and the flight has now lost contact. We suspect that the professor may be in danger," a female voice announced.

Just then, a person holding a transparent screen added: "Update: 11:29 AM, just now, we received another distress signal from Professor Wenxing. The initial location is in the Atlantic Ocean, but further analysis is needed."

Jane asked Rose in a low voice, "So, do you want me to go and rescue them?"

“That’s right, Professor Wenxing is very important. He must not be harmed. Although there are many experts in Sector N09, none of them can fly like you.”

Jian Ning frowned. With her limited spiritual power, she probably wouldn't be able to fly to the Atlantic Ocean before falling into the water.

Unless, of course, one can fly on a sword or own a flying boat.

The woman who started the explanation said seriously, "Jian Ning, this is the first test that N09 District is giving you. If you can successfully rescue Professor Wenxing, you will be promoted to Grade B without any special qualifications."

Jian Ning knew nothing about Zone N09. After leaving the conference room, she muttered, "What's so good about Grade B?"

"Compared to C grade, B grade has double the fixed salary, plus a one million upgrade bonus in addition to task bonuses."

Jian Ning smiled and said, "That's really good."

No one ever complains about having too much money.

She went on a fruit tree buying spree recently, buying some one-year-old seedlings and some several-year-old seedlings, with the latter being much more expensive.

She organized people to plant fruit trees together and purchased a lot of farm tools, which cost her quite a bit of money.

Because she was too busy preparing the medicine, she even stopped her weekly vegetable blind box.

The savings I have are only going out, not coming in.

Upgrading to B level is great, the bonus is amazing.

Actually, she gets a little bored after a while, staying alone in the villa and not interacting with the outside world.

By handing the system over to the motherland, she now has a stable job, which feels great.

After returning, Jian Ning began to cultivate diligently, waiting for news from District N09 about the specific address while thinking about how to rescue the people.

The next day, Zhang Nan and Long Wu were coming over for dinner. Jian Ning didn't have much food left, and since Jian Ning hadn't been to the supermarket in a long time, the three of them went shopping together.

Jian Ning was still thinking to herself, "If only I could learn to fly on a sword." The sword that Teacher Su gave her had been gathering dust in her Qiankun Ring and she hadn't had a chance to take it out.

She's a cultivator, yet she doesn't know how to fly on a sword. How absurd!

Zhang Nan nudged her arm. "Ningning, what are you thinking about? You seem distracted."

Jian Ning shook her head and said, "It's nothing."

Seeing that she didn't want to talk, Zhang Nan didn't ask. He glanced at her, pulled Jian Ning over, and said excitedly, "Ningning, do you want to eat Australian lobster? How about we buy one to take home? Look at it, it's hilarious, it's treating its companion like a buffet."

Jian Ning didn't pretend anymore, and grabbed Nan Nan, saying, "Don't even think about it!"

She doesn't have much money left, and seeing the price makes her want to back out.

899 each? Forget it, it's not made of gold, and the taste is just so-so.

Zhang Nan said pitifully, "Ningning, we said two years ago that we must get our hands on this Australian lobster. Two years have passed and we still haven't tasted it. Let's just buy it this once."

Jian Ning shook her head firmly.

The system popped up.

[The demonic beasts are wreaking havoc here, harming their fellow disciples, and even plotting to massacre the common people.]

[Mission triggered!]

[Mission: Slay two demonic beasts.]

[Reward: Choose one of the following: Secret Realm Fragment *1 or Lucky Draw *1]

Jian Ning suddenly stopped, hearing a child crying, and turned around. Zhang Nan asked, "Have you changed your mind?"

Jian Ning didn't say anything. She happened to see some clueless parents with their children there. The children put their hands into the water and got their hands caught in the Australian dragon's pincers. Staff rushed over to deal with the situation.

The Australian dragon then released its grip on the pincers.

The parent, holding their child, started arguing with the staff, saying, "This thing made my child bleed; it has to die."

The staff member looked troubled: "We have put up signs. If you want, our staff can help you retrieve it."

"Kill it first, and I'll take the 99 yuan. As for the fact that this thing hurt my child, I won't bother with that."

Staff member: "Ma'am, we really can't help you with this. You should talk to our manager."

Jian Ning pulled Zhang Nan back, saying, "I'll take these two Australian lobsters."

Zhang Nan's eyes widened, and he whispered in Jian Ning's ear, "Ningning, one is enough."

Jian Ning laughed and said, "It's okay, one isn't enough, so we'll have two."

The staff immediately called someone over to pack it up.

The parent immediately started yelling, "What are you doing? This lobster pinched my son's hand! Don't you have eyes?"

Jian Ning said coldly, "He's your son, not my grandson. What does it have to do with me?"

"you you you……"

Seeing that an argument was about to break out, the staff could only quickly calm her down, saying, "Ma'am, please take your child to get bandaged up first. We have a first-aid kit here."

“I need to take my son to the hospital for a check-up, and your supermarket must compensate me.”

Staff member: "Ma'am, please come this way. Our manager will talk to you slowly."

Jian Ning left carrying the lively Australian lobster.

Return to the villa.

In the living room, Zhang Nan listened to the snip-snip sound of scissors coming from the kitchen. "Ningning, are you sure you don't need our help?"

"No need," Jian Ning replied, quickly preparing the Australian lobster with a few snips of scissors, and then steaming it with garlic.

Solved an Australian lobster problem.

The system then pops up a task progress reminder.

[Monster Slaying Progress: 1/2]

Wait for Jianning to handle the second Australian dragon.

The system popped up again.

[Monster Slaying Progress: 2/2]

[You ventured out to hone your skills, easily defeating evil beasts and protecting the peace of the region. Although some people harbored resentment towards you, misunderstandings and challenges are inevitable on the path of cultivation.]

Then, Jian Ning saw the system pop up a reward option with two choices.

One is a fragment, and the other is the pattern of a large spinning wheel.

Previously, it had always been just text, so this was the first time that a picture had appeared, which surprised Jian Ning.

Upon reflection, Jian Ning realized what was going on.

Is this a system update?

They updated the spinning wheel, but it really is... a completely pointless update.

The turntable also has markings.

Random cultivation techniques, random spells, random magical artifacts, random skills, random elixirs...

No one can resist the gifts of the unknown.

Jian Ning rubbed her hands together and tapped the spinning wheel.

The turntable started spinning rapidly.
