Once she was back in the system space, Ning Shu hastily sat on the carpet and began cultivating. The wear and tear on her soul was very serious this time.
Ning Shu stopped cultivating when her soul had sufficiently recovered and coldly asked 2333, “Why did you ignore me earlier? I asked you questions but there was no response.”
“I crashed and was compiling data at that time,” 2333 said. “Didn’t I gain a system’s fortune and heavenly laws?”
Ning Shu was utterly speechless. Her and 2333’s eight characters seriously clashed. Their personalities couldn’t harmonize, that was why they were never on the same page.
Ning Shu didn’t bother saying anything else. She called up the stats panel to see what the harvest was this time.

For completing the special task she got 3000 merit points and 1000 faith points.
Ning Shu rubbed her eyes. That was it?
Just 3000 merit points?
No experience points? No attribute points?
This task was a troll!
Ning Shu opened the chat system and asked Mei Ziqing, “How was your harvest? Can you become an ultra task-taker?”
Mei Ziqing said, “I’m still a little short! I didn’t gain a lot of merit points: they’re really rare. I still need to do more special tasks, but they aren’t always available.”
Ning Shu tried to reassure Mei Ziqing. “Don’t be too anxious. Just take your time.”
Mei Ziqing considered the advice. “I’d better go do some ordinary tasks first, I’m pretty exhausted. I’ll think things through when another special task pops up.”
Ning Shu chatted with Mei Ziqing for a while and was about to close the chat system when she heard the telltale sound of an incoming message.
Ning Shu opened it and saw that it was 795 who wanted to talk. Ning Shu accepted the request.
795 sent a message and asked, “How did the task go this time? How was the harvest?”
“It wasn’t ideal,” Ning Shu replied.
795 said, “What happened with Pan Chen wasn’t something we could control. Since there was nothing we could do, it’s only logical that the rewards were reduced.”
Ning Shu sighed. She might as well complete ordinary tasks, get 20 million points, and become an advanced task-taker. As for making it to ultra task-taker? That was too far away and she was too lazy to even think about it.
Another ringing sound told Ning Shu that someone else wanted to talk to her. Ning Shu checked the request and saw it was 6457.
That number belonged to Zhang Jiasen. Ning Shu immediately refused the request. She definitely couldn’t be bothered to talk to Zhang Jiasen and there was nothing to say.
At any rate, Zhang Jiasen would just try to kill her the moment he had a chance. His schemes were complex.
Even though he acted aimable towards her now, he’d definitely attack without mercy at the next available opportunity.
