Douluo Continent: On Becoming a God Through Science

Chapter 38: The Final Mission of Jade Small Anus

"What the hell!"

Xiao Wu stopped shaking around and glared angrily at You Chen: "Ah Chen, don't scare people like that!?"

"Scary?"

Even You Chen was somewhat unable to keep up with Xiao Wu's train of thought, and a question mark popped into his head.

He paused for a moment, then looked at Xiao Wu speechlessly: "Who knows where your stupid brain has gone? You actually think I'm here to harm you now?! Also, who said anything about A-Chen? You have to call him Uncle! If that's not possible, calling him Grandpa is fine too! From now on, in front of outsiders, you'll be my niece in name only. Remember that and don't give yourself away!"

"Ugh... I don't want to!"

Xiao Wu pouted, "Doesn't this make me seem a generation younger than you?"

You Chen pushed up his glasses: "In most people's eyes, an age difference of one generation between us would be reasonable."

Xiao Wu huffed unhappily, then, as if struck by a sudden thought, her eyes lit up with a shrewd glint: "By the way, Ah Chen, you wear glasses, so it's not that easy to tell your age! Why don't you just say you're my brother!"

elder brother?

Upon hearing this title, You Chen couldn't help but twitch his lips. What, are you planning to change your sacrifice target this lifetime?

"I'm 35 this year, how old are you?"

"I—" Xiao Wu's eyes darted around, paused for a while, and then pouted in dissatisfaction, "6 years old."

Upon hearing this, You Chen spoke emotionlessly, as if reading aloud: "Wow, a 29-year age difference. It seems our parents are still going strong in their old age."

Xiao Wu's braids immediately drooped down: "Okay, Uncle it is then."

"very good."

You Chen nodded, his words carrying a double meaning, and then picked up the grilled fish from the grill and took a bite.

The aroma and crisp sound made Xiao Wu's eyes widen in surprise.

You Chen's lips curled into a smile. He blew on the slightly charred surface of the grilled fish and said calmly, "I told you, this is its most perfect stage!"

That gesture immediately made Xiao Wu so angry she wanted to bite her teeth.

"Alright, there's no more grilled fish left. I'll eat it myself. Here, have a few candies."

"Tch, more candy? Do you think you're kidding me?"

Despite her stubbornness, Xiao Wu skillfully accepted the exquisitely packaged candy that You Chen tossed to her.

Over the course of several days, You Chen fed Xiao Wu from time to time, and now almost the entire box of "Friendly Premium Candy" has ended up in her stomach.

Silent all night.

After Xiao Wu fell asleep in the tent, You Chen remained outside the tent by the campfire, gazing up at the starry sky.

And so it came to the early hours of the morning, the time when the task would refresh.

Ding.

Upon seeing the first few words of the mission, You Chen already revealed a joyful smile.

"As expected, Yu Xiaogang, I've been waiting for you!"

[Mission: Yu Xiaogang, a theoretical scholar from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan, harbors resentment because you publicly rejected his theory of the "Ten Core Competencies of Martial Souls." He intends to use the power of Bibi Dong, the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, to target you. This is intolerable! How can you sit idly by and wait for death when faced with such a powerful and influential figure?!]

You have two ways to complete this task.

First, those who rely on power to flaunt their authority must also experience the feeling of being oppressed by even stronger powers!

Secondly, after you publish truly substantial research results, great scholars will naturally defend you! They will completely crush Yu Xiaogang in theory, proving their own theories to Yu Xiaogang and forcing him to admit defeat!

Complete the task using the first method to receive the basic reward. Complete the task using the second method to receive an additional reward. Complete both methods simultaneously to receive the ultimate reward!

[Basic Rewards: Ten Intermediate Nutrition Pills, Intermediate Soul Power Pills, Intermediate Strength Pills, Intermediate Speed ​​Pills, Intermediate Soul Power Amplification Pills, and two "Inspiration" events]

[Bonus Rewards: One Intermediate Experience Pill, Soul Ring Age Enhancement Card (Millennium), and one "Illumination of the Origin" event]

[Ultimate Reward: A second spirit ring with optimal age limit, ...]

Before You Chen could finish reading the description of the ultimate reward, suddenly... the last line of text became violently distorted and blurred.

[Ultimate Reward: Adaptive Optimal (&*(%￥))]

After several seconds of text distortion, it finally took shape.

[Ultimate Reward: Adaptive Optimal Age Soul Bone (100,000-Year Age Limit)]

"..."

You Chen remained silent for a moment before muttering to himself, "So, that previous situation was indeed a system bug?"

Although no timeline issues were found, the system has become quite clever in this regard.

Hmm... perhaps it's not so much that it's smarter, but rather that the system really learned its lesson from directly confronting the world's rules before, and that's why it's become more sensible now?

However, You Chen hadn't expected the same good thing to happen again.

He had already prepared for the possibility that there would be no more Soul Ring rewards in the future.

What he cared about most was whether his envisioned route would go smoothly.

During the mission, Yu Xiaogang's appearance, unlike Kendall's unexpected and expected scene, clearly pleased You Chen.

The level of a task's reward depends on how difficult the task is determined by the system.

For example, although Ye Han has a purple-robed bishop behind him, the minor squabbles between classmates will not attract the bishop's attention, so the difficulty of the mission itself and the hidden risks are not high.

If it's not a beginner's quest, the rewards will be unremarkable.

If the bishop behind it is a protective figure, then the mission rewards will be significantly increased. This information was confirmed by You Chen based on information from many previous missions.

Conversely, Yu Xiaogang's strength was lacking, but at that time, he had the Holy Maiden Bibi Dong standing behind him! His family, especially his father, actually still cared about their child.

This results in Yu Xiaogang's rank in the system task rating not being too low.

And what about You Chen back then?

He's just a penniless 12-year-old kid!

Based on his own deductions, You Chen had already guessed that the reward for Yu Xiaogang's related task wouldn't be too bad.

but……

Even so, doesn't the reward seem a bit too high?

You Chen shook his head, no longer considering the reward, which was slightly beyond his expectations.

Objectively speaking, this task is indeed very difficult.

The system does not pre-determine the difficulty of a task based on a future assumption.

For example, in the future, Qian Xunji might try to hinder Bibi Dong's relationship because he's worried that she'll be kidnapped by Yu Xiaogang.

The system will not factor future favorable conditions into the current task, thereby reducing the task difficulty level and deducting rewards.

When You Chen, the transmigrator, arrives, the entire future will be reshuffled. It's impossible to set the difficulty of a mission based on things that haven't happened yet, as absolute conditions.

The system will determine the task difficulty and reward based solely on the current situation, the overall capabilities of the task objectives, the overall capability gap between the two parties, and the conditions for task completion.

Therefore, it's reasonable that the reward for this task is higher. Hmm.

This time, a brand new term appeared in the mission rewards, so You Chen naturally paid more attention to it.

"Seeing the source" is just as impressive as "a flash of inspiration".

This is undoubtedly another "special" category of reward.

Its effects are complex, but they allow Soul Masters to experience the origin of their Martial Soul more deeply... In short, it is a reward that can greatly enhance a Soul Master's understanding of their own Martial Soul, thereby improving their control over the origin of their Martial Soul.

This is absolutely fantastic!

It seems that because I signed the contract early, my book has somehow fallen out of the new book recommendation list, which is a bit annoying...
