Chapter Fourteen: Reward Inquiry

  Xiao Xuan lay on the steps of the main god's space, one hand covering his forehead. The feeling of being battered by the torrent earlier still lingered, like someone who had just gotten off a roller coaster and still felt the ground spinning beneath their feet, leaving him dizzy and disoriented.

  Fortunately, Xiao Xuan was clear that he had returned to the main god space, and all the injuries on his body had healed. Moreover, there would be no danger within the main god space, so he simply let himself lie on this step for a while longer.

  For Xiao Xuan, the first task world "Human Clearing Plan 1" was not as exhausting as when he returned from "Dark Invasion 1". In the task world of "Dark Invasion 1", Xiao Xuan was almost constantly running, climbing and engaging in various physically demanding activities, and his nerves were always on high alert, especially towards the end when he had used up a lot of magic.

  Physical exhaustion can be compensated by the main god, but mental fatigue and lethargy can only be recovered by oneself.

  "Is this... the main god space?" Su Mo's voice came from beside Xiao Xuan, and although she was definitely as tired as Xiao Xuan now, her curiosity about entering the main god space for the first time temporarily buried her fatigue.

  "That's right." Xiao Xuan rubbed his face with both hands and stood up from the steps, pointing to the two doors on that side: "The door on the left is my room, and the door on the right is your room. The layout and facilities of the room can be changed according to your thoughts at any time. Alright, we just got back and are tired. We still have ten days before entering the next task world, so let's take a day to rest first. Tomorrow, I'll discuss with you again about the direction of your enhancement. Of course, if you can't wait now and want to decide on your own enhancement according to your preferences, I won't object."

  "It's okay, I'll wait for you to make a decision tomorrow." Su Mo Ran naturally wouldn't believe that Xiao Xuan's words about not opposing him were sincere. This man was selfish and overbearing by nature, yet also very clever. For now, it was better not to go against his wishes, otherwise the next task might be her own burial ground.

  "Alright, go rest then, see you tomorrow." Xiao Xuan waved his hand and walked straight into his own room.

  As Xiao Xuan entered his own world, Su Mu Ran turned around again and gazed at the main god orb on the stairs. A strange light flickered in his eyes.

  ……

  A gentle sea breeze carrying a hint of moisture and saltiness blew in through the window, scattering the bangs on Xiao Xuan's forehead. The morning sunlight poured in, illuminating the floor of the study, making everything seem simple and serene.

  Xiao Xuan's eyes slowly opened, and this sleep was very comfortable. He didn't have any nightmares due to the scenes in "Dark Invasion 1". Because of his special eyesight, he had seen many things since childhood, and his mental endurance was no longer comparable to that of ordinary people.

  He got out of bed, took a cold shower in the bathroom, and put on a shirt and casual pants. Then he pushed open the door and left his room, entering the main shrine space.

  Xiao Xuan had originally planned to head directly to the main divine sphere below to complete his exchange, but after a slight hesitation, he instead walked to Su Mo Ran's room and gently knocked on the door.

  Su Mueran's heart and soul received the request to enter, her mind moved, and the door automatically opened. Xiao Xuan walked in. Su Mueran had set up her room as a beautiful garden, with warm sunshine and a cozy atmosphere. She was sleeping on a hammock in the middle of the garden, wearing a cartoon-patterned nightgown that made her look cute and lovely. Of course, after witnessing her impressive skills and accurate marksmanship, Xiao Xuan wouldn't think she was just a cute girl next door.

  "How was your rest last night?"

  "Not bad, in this self-decorated room world, it feels quite magical." Su Mo Ran replied with a hand through his hair.

  "What did you used to do?"

  Detective, haha, female detective.

  "Not bad, pretty cool."

  "What about you, what do you do?"

  "What do you think I am?"

  "Criminal, murderer."

  I am an author.

  "Oh... it's actually still an author, really unexpected."

  "No need to be surprised, in today's society, most writers are basically human-faced beasts."

  "Hmm, yeah, right."

  "Alright, now let's talk about your enhancement. Do you have any special preferences or likings in mind? Or is there something on your mind that you haven't mentioned?"

  "No, you help me choose, but I want to know how many reward points I have now."

  "Let's go under the main god first to inquire about the last harvest, the completion rewards of several branch tasks seem not very good, can only be judged by the main god."

  "Okay, but I want to change clothes first."

  "Alright, I'll go out first."

  The two people ended the conversation simply and concisely, and Xiao Xuan exited Su Mo Ran's room. About three minutes later, Su Mo Ran also walked out, and the two stood under the main divine light ball together, starting to inquire about their reward points.

  "【Main Quest 2】: Protect Sarah and bring her back to the wooden cabin in the forest——After completing this quest, all members of the Chinese team will immediately return to the main god space. Reward for completing the task: 1000 reward points, 1 G-level plot, if Sarah dies before returning to the wooden cabin, the entire Chinese team will be instantly wiped out!"

  Side Quest 1: Kill an Underground Cannibal and receive a reward of 100 points. Kill the Mutated Cannibal and receive a reward of 1000 points.

  "Side Quest 2: Obtain the Cannibal's Offering, Reward: 1000 Reward Points, 1 G-Rank Story."

  "I killed 9 man-eating demons and a variant man-eating demon, earning 1900 reward points. Adding the main quest rewards, that's a total of 2900 reward points and 1 G-level plot." Su Mo Ran said to Xiao Xuan after querying.

  "I killed 14 normal Devourers and with the main quest, I got a total of 2400 reward points and a G-rank story."

  "Hehe, actually, my mutant cannibal took advantage of you."

  "If you hadn't shot at the critical moment, I'm afraid I would have been drowned in the blood pool. So, it should be me who took advantage of you." Xiao Xuan smiled and shrugged his shoulders. Then he said: "When querying the reward, the main god asked me if I would take out the sacrificial object of the man-eating demon obtained from Branch Task 2 to exchange for rewards."

  "What does it mean?"

  "In other words, if you want to get the 1000 reward points and a G-level plot for Branch Quest 2, you must give the offering item to the main god. Otherwise, if I keep the offering item, I won't be able to get the corresponding reward for Branch Quest 2, which means it's not completed."

  "So are you staying or leaving?"

  "Heh, what's the point of keeping it? I spent some time researching it earlier and couldn't find any use for it. For us now, 1000 reward points and a G-level plot are already quite a significant reward. We urgently need these reward points and plot to strengthen ourselves. Even if this thing is hiding some huge secret inside, it's not relevant to us newbies who just entered the main god space. We're also unlikely to grow strong enough to uncover its secrets anytime soon. Main God, I want to exchange it."

  Xiao Xuan's spatial ring on his finger flashed, and the stone with a strange tactile sensation appeared in his palm. The next moment, the main god sphere projected another white light onto Xiao Xuan's body. After that, the white light disappeared, and the stone also disappeared. As a result, both Xiao Xuan and Su Mochen each gained 1000 reward points and 1 G-level plot.
