Chapter 434 Leap in Authority and Upward Floating Task Rewards

As the notification sound rang out in the space.

The scene on the left freezes after the man kills a human evil named Sesshouin Kiara.

He calmly drew his sword and sheathed it, then looked up at the sky, waiting for the rain to fall.

The letter indicating the evaluation on the right-hand screen was now fixed at SSS.

Finally, it turned into golden particles and disappeared on the light screen.

This indicates that the man's assessment task has now come to a successful conclusion.

At the same time, the special reward promised by the space also rang in my ears.

[It has been detected that you have pre-paid 45 merit points for deduction skills. You need to repay 50 merit points after the settlement.]

[Because you chose to return early and your rating exceeded the limit, 25 merit points of debt are hereby waived.]

You only need to repay 25 merit points at this point.

With a wave of his hand, the space granted Fang Yi 25 merit points.

It's roughly equivalent to an S-rank in a beginner's quest, or the merit points you get from killing half of Chen Cheng or more than half of Cheng Xiang.

Based on the last settlement, this amount of merit is...

It can provide an additional settlement benefit during settlement, and further guide the solidification of a potential [skill branch].

Or kill the enemy reincarnator in a special mode.

This integrates traits that weaken the opponent's [Talent] acquisition, thereby assisting the evolution of the original traits.

Fang Yi glanced at himself after killing Sesshouin Kihara and, incidentally, killing Shen Li by striking from across the mountain.

Waiting for the price to be paid to weaken the [substitution].

He recalled the advice given by the red archer.

I couldn't help but make a comment.

The debt we've forgiven will likely have to be handed over again later.
-
But the "special rewards" that the space specifically mentioned are clearly not limited to this.

Fang Yi heard a notification sound different from the one that rang when the mission was completed last time.

[We've detected that you have several unclaimed task rewards due to early return.]

Your unclaimed task reward will trigger the [Intelligent Recommendation and Completion Mode].

[The non-points and merit rewards will be replaced with rewards more suitable for you, up to a maximum increase of 10% in value, based on your abilities and resources.]

It's quite obvious that this time it's a [smart recommendation and completion mode].

It is stronger and more flexible than the [Intelligent Recommendation Mode] he received after obtaining an SS+ rating in his last settlement.

Bartering with others in the space generally results in items that are backward compatible.

Despite having more options, it's often more cost-effective than selling to the market.

However, some value loss will still occur.

His action of changing the [Supreme Imperial Arms Forging Method] to [Permanently Solidified [Bloody Alchemy]] during the last settlement.

Strictly speaking, it's like replacing a 100-point reward that's not suitable for you with a 95-point reward that suits you in this space.

Now, the space agency has generously granted some additional allowances.

His reward will not result in any loss of revenue due to the change of reward.

It can even be used to fraudulently obtain loans from online platforms.
-
However, it's clear that Fang Yi's reward for achieving an SSS rating this time was not as simple as it seemed.

Within the rules, the space offers even more generous rewards.

They increased the stakes once.

When you settle your account, the rewards will be displayed based on past participants' data, offering more options that match your abilities.

The value of the settlement reward will increase to some extent, with a maximum increase of 15%.

The emerging "expertise" may also include skills beyond your current abilities, but which you may be able to acquire.

There's not much to say about the line above; it allows you to enjoy more flexible intelligent recommendations for free.

The next line is the key.

[Specialty] is a reflection of the experience, knowledge and ability that a reincarnator has accumulated in a certain aspect of things.

The skills, crafts, and techniques mastered by the reincarnator can only emerge after they meet the prerequisites for the derived specialization.

In addition to the "Honest Person" acquisition method, which requires meeting certain conditions to appear (e.g., full payment, meeting all conditions), the "Specialty" can also be obtained through other means.

It is also possible to obtain potential special skills in advance through special means and by using space rewards.

Just like Fang Yi previously obtained through the opportunity to advance his [Specialty].

The same applies to the "Specialty" and "Spiritual Source Returns to the Edge" which are not fully mastered because the "prerequisites" are not met.

This involves a "loan-based" approach, similar to advance payment.

It allows you to acquire powerful [features] that were previously unavailable under your current abilities.

Enjoy some of the benefits from the [Specialty] first.

Then, by "buying tickets" and gradually meeting the extremely demanding "prerequisites," the "specialty" is continuously advanced to its full potential.

Although the reward is not very large, it is not a crude, rule-breaking, money-giving reward.

But in reality, it's very cost-effective and makes you feel comfortable.
-
After explaining the rewards at the time of settlement, the space then presented another reward that could be claimed after settlement.

[It has been detected that you have completed the evaluation summary for the assessment task, and have previously performed several actions that have consistently improved your evaluation.]

The conditions for entering the [Interim Evaluation] stage have been met.

[Past contributions will soon be summarized, and your evaluation privileges may be upgraded.]

After conducting the [interim assessment], if the permission requirements are met.

You will receive special benefits that will aid your development after the mission is completed.

After the [interim evaluation] is completed, you can claim your task rewards and complete the settlement. Please wait a moment.

Upon seeing these lines of prompts, Fang Yi stroked his chin.

It seems that the [Reincarnation Space] assesses and evaluates those who reincarnate.

It was more extensive and scientific than he had imagined.
-
Then, some novel notification sounds rang out.

The light screen in front of Fang Yi changed again.

However, this time only the rating on the right changed.

The lowercase evaluations from previous missions came to mind.
[Unknown mission, rating: S]

[Newbie Quest, Rating: S]

[Rank 1 enters Rank 2 mission, rating: SS+]

Your average task rating before this assessment is: S+.

Before Fang Yi began to think about space, he was not limited to the performance of a single task.

Rather, it's about whether the method used to calculate the average performance over a period of time is reasonable.

An extra bonus that he was previously unaware of reappeared on the screen.
-
Because you have killed one 'Fake Player' and one 'Stalled Player'.

And it perfectly completed a hunting mission.

They have assisted the "scavengers" in carrying out missions a total of three times.

Planned and directed the killing of one 'Descendant'.

Based on the above performance, you will be promoted to a higher level.

Your newly added permissions are shown below: -
Mission World Related:

While maintaining access without slipping out.

Before each mission you undertake outside of a derivative world, you will be fully informed of the mission world's keywords.

Each time you enter a mission world, you will have more preparation time.

Basic skills acquired by consuming points after entering the mission world will not incur additional point charges.

You will receive more time to stay after each mission.

The limitations and costs of your summoned [Followers] staying in the space have been reduced.
-
Space-related:

Your space trading restrictions have been partially lifted.

You can, to some extent, bypass the value limitations of space and conduct transactions.

This includes, but is not limited to, the possibility of selling items at a higher price, or others selling items to you at a lower price.

You will receive a certain number of free private message opportunities every so often.

You can collect items and private messages from lower-ranking reincarnators.
-
As always, it seems unremarkable, but it's actually very useful. This includes his previous beginner quests, his quests to reach Rank 2, and even the [Assessment Quest].

All the keywords were obtained due to various special reasons.

Only then will there be room for targeted improvements.

It is supported by 'performance-based pay' and 'job allowance' in addition to 'basic salary'.

Only then can they earn the opportunity to compete on the same stage as a group of 'seed players'.

Based on the description of the 'permission' that Ms. Chen Shu previously traded to her for a lower price for the [Perfect Match] item.

This leap in spatial permissions directly increased Fang Yi's 'basic salary'.

This brought his basic treatment to the same level as that of a 'seeded player'.

Going forward, his excess 'performance-based pay' and 'job allowance' will be surplus.

We should strive to secure better treatment and rewards for him.
-
As for lifting the transaction restrictions, Fang Yi felt it was better than nothing.

Judging from the robber's experience of being scammed.

The trading restrictions are clearly intended to maintain a minimum level.

To prevent inexperienced reincarnators from having their points harvested or being cheated by other reincarnators.

Even with reduced transaction restrictions, he can still engage in fraud and deception to some extent.

However, it's difficult to earn enough points simply by reselling items in the space.

The key resources, such as plot points and merits, cannot be traded and are only linked to individual performance.

At the same time, most of the items redeemed with merit points are for personal use only.

This includes restrictions on transactions, regional divisions, and early team formation.

The space has essentially atomized the relationships between reincarnators through various forms of guidance.

At most, he can pay less when trading with people he knows in the space.

To earn points, you need to focus on mission worlds without trading restrictions.

In the mission world of the reincarnation space, there is a hidden [matching principle] each time.

It would be difficult for the breeding team that he remembered from his previous life to become the dominant one.

Thinking of this, Fang Yi took out the [Scroll of the Deceased] and looked at the [Annotations] inside.

My gaze quickly fell on this line of text.

[When performing tasks in non-derivative worlds that adhere to matching principles.]

Based on Miss Chen Shu's promise that she would provide him with support related to [Alchemy] after he reaches Rank 2.

Fang Yi already had a basic understanding of the [Derivative World].

It is clear that the [Derivative World] does not follow the [Matching Principle], and team formation is still possible.

However, this is clearly not something he needs to consider right now.

Before settling the accounts, he still had several tasks' rewards to claim.

He needs to claim the rewards for these tasks first to ensure that more related rewards appear in the settlement process later.
-
With a thought, Fang Yi began to examine the previous rewards.

Let's start with the task that gives the most points.

Fang Yi only had 9000 points left, not even enough to pay the 10000 points needed to weaken the [Substitute for Plum] effect.

'Receive Assessment Task III: A Competent Leader'

[You have met the basic contribution requirements for the mission, and you have received a basic reward of 30000 points and 150 merit points.]

You have already used one opportunity to advance your [Specialty] and one opportunity to solidify your [Legendary] skill.

With the distribution of merits.

Fang Yi's 150 merit points, which he hadn't even had time to enjoy, were instantly wiped out by 25 merit points from his account.

Before Fang Yi could even start complaining, another notification sound rang in his ear.

[Settling performance rewards: You have killed all non-reincarnated beings from this space and planned to kill one 'Descendant'.]

Based on your performance, you will receive an additional 15000 points and 100 merit points.

You have obtained one free follower maintenance slot (valid only for followers you already own).

Use immediately. Target: Okita Souji.

He only had one [follower] available for this reward at the moment, so he naturally used it directly.

After accumulating a sufficient number of points, Fang Yi did not immediately claim the other task rewards.

Instead, they focused their attention on the [Substitute Plum] strategy, which needed to be weakened.

According to the Red Archer, this trait can accelerate the nurturing of [Kukai Kiyomitsu] and make it stronger.

As his points increased, he heard a notification sound from the space.

You have acquired the authority to reduce the talent [Substitution] to a trait.

[Due to the influence of the [Intelligent Recommendation and Completion Mode] and your existing traits, you can pay 10000 points and 25 merit points to make personalized changes.]

Payment is beginning to lose its importance.

The 25 merit points given to me by the space were barely warmed before I gave them away.

The next moment, knowledge mixed with delirium flooded into Fang Yi's mind.

The man standing silently in the martial arts hall suddenly trembled, and blood gushed from his mouth and nose.

After swaying back and forth several times, wiping away some blood, and sorting through the knowledge in his mind, he...

This feature, which, with the support of the "intelligent recommendation and completion mode," had become somewhat detached from its original function, also came to mind.
-
[Substitute Spirit]

Special effects:

[Substitute]

You can see things that others cannot.

Therefore, it is easier to capture the properties of substances.

And launch [substitution] through various 'media'.

Subtly imparting the properties of a substance to other substances by substituting the properties of the target substance.

This includes, but is not limited to, altering the properties of materials, the medicinal properties of drugs, the structure of flesh and blood, and the structure of the soul to a certain extent.

You can also perform remote [substitution] operations through certain malicious acts or circumstances as a 'medium'.
-
[Spiritual Offering]

Your understanding of the soul far surpasses that of ordinary people.

Your soul's recovery speed has increased slightly.

It can manipulate the soul to a certain extent.

You can easily detect various spiritual beings and perceive the shape and state of other people's souls.

It can also, to some extent, add different soul fragments to eligible items.

To increase the compatibility between the item and the person, or to make special modifications to the item.
-
Summary:
I can see things that others cannot see, and hear sounds that others cannot hear.

Therefore, they can perform operations on things that others cannot.

It slowly erodes the opponent in the shadows, eventually devouring them.
-
Evaluation:

Being able to perceive things that others cannot see is sometimes not a good thing.
-
Clearly, the owner of this trait is not only capable of performing incredible substitutions, but is also a person with high 'inspiration'.

That's how they obtained the flesh and blood of the Star Families.

But after making 'personalization changes'.

The space comes at the cost of significantly diminishing its effect on 'inspiration'.

The benefits of the "Spiritual Connection" ability have been significantly expanded, making it more aligned with Fang Yi's vision.

Besides allowing [Alchemy - Body Modification] to perform better.

It can also be linked with his [Resonance Spirit Empowerment Blade] and [Reflecting Blade and Swift Heart] to nurture the blade.

However, now is clearly not a good time to start training your sword.

Before the task settlement.

He still has two [challenge missions] and one hidden mission rewards that he hasn't claimed.

One of these was after observing the "Conqueror King's" "Army of Kings" and completing the "Rescue Waver" challenge.

Rewards related to [Unique Boundary].
