Chapter 35: Faction Shop

Early the next morning, after Chu Danqing and Dabao finished the breakfast delivered by the maids, someone came to lead the two of them away.

They were taken from the guest room to a courtyard house, like a small villa, with a group of retainers and servants.

This was the area where guest retainers lived, with its own courtyard and small garden; one could only say it was worthy of being a local powerful noble clan.

"The D-rank trial task is not low in difficulty." Chu Danqing could not intuitively understand it, but he could see it from the treatment.

The number of Lu clan guests, including him, was only seven.

In addition to having a detached small villa with a courtyard inside the Lu residence, everyone also had an office dedicated to them, called Yunshui Pavilion.

They were served with good food, drink, and entertainment, and usually had a transcendent status, but if the Lu clan encountered any trouble, these guests would really have to fill it with their lives.

After Chu Danqing moved in, he successfully completed the trial task; there was no registration or information entry; it was enough that people knew.

【Task completed, you have obtained: Paradise Points × 1000, Attribute Point +1.】

【Next task ring activated.】

【Trial Task: Obtain 1000 faction contribution points within seven days.】

【Trial Difficulty: D-rank (Normal)】

【Trial Reward: Return qualification, Paradise Points × 1000, Attribute Point +1.】

【Trial Failure: Paradise Points -2000, forced return.】

Although both were returns, there were differences.

Forced return means that if it is not completed within the task time, you will be sent back directly.

And return qualification means you can choose to return on your own within the time limit.

Not all apostles are like Chu Danqing, who can complete trial tasks so quickly, so the return qualification is based on the total task time, which is 3+7+7, a total of seventeen days.

For the extra time, you can improve your evaluation through behavior, or choose to practice or trigger tasks, etc.

It is a hidden benefit for completing the task ahead of schedule.

"It's just that I don't know how long it will take to obtain one thousand faction contribution points."

"The difficulty shouldn't be very high, at most a little higher than wiping out the Qingya Stronghold."

For Chu Danqing, it is not high, but for other apostles, it may not be so.

Immediately, he took Dabao to Yunshui Pavilion, where there were more people, all existing to serve the guest retainers.

"Mr. Chu, why did you come here in person? If you have anything, just give a shout." A steward greeted him warmly.

"I came to see if there is anything I can help with." Chu Danqing replied.

"You are new here; why not rest a bit more?" The steward said hurriedly, leading Chu Danqing to his hall in Yunshui Pavilion.

He also had people bring good tea, melons, fruits, and pastries; the service was quite in place.

Chu Danqing picked up the list placed on the table, and Paradise revealed an exchange list.

【Faction Shop · Noble Lu Clan】

【Bai He Master's Notes · Volume 1】

【Type: Knowledge-type Item】

【Quality: Excellent】

【Type: Consumable】

【Quantity: 3】

【Exchange Requirement: Contribution Points × 1500】

——

【Note: The three faction shops share the exchange quantity of the first three items.】

【Note: Different factions have different first three items.】

Chu Danqing's gaze fell on the second item; this knowledge-type item was simply worth a thousand pieces of gold to him.

As for why it happened to be basic summoning skills, it was not because Chu Danqing was special, but because he already had basic skills, so it was replaced by an item that improves basic skills.

Otherwise, it would be some items or consumables that could obtain basic skills.

And with different basic skills, the knowledge-type items exchanged are also different.

The first item was directly ignored by Chu Danqing; the contribution points were too high, and he was afraid it would not be so easy to gather them.

And the Lu Clan Body Refining Secret Medicine that increases HP, he also wanted it, but he had to prioritize the Bai He Master's Notes.

The first three rewards on this list were not for most apostles, but for a small portion of apostles with high evaluations like Chu Danqing to exchange.

On the contrary, the items below did not exceed one thousand contribution points; as long as the task could be completed smoothly, there would basically be extra gains.

Paradise lets you obtain one thousand contribution points, not maintain them, so it doesn't matter if you spend them.

"No need to rest; precisely because I am new here, I need to give the master a good impression." After seeing the items in the exchange list, Chu Danqing had no thoughts of resting.

He just wanted to gather 3000 contribution points as soon as possible to exchange for the Bai He Master's Notes.

Chu Danqing could be sure that his progress was likely the fastest; if he was efficient enough, there was still a good chance to get the Lu Clan Body Refining Secret Medicine as well.

Seeing that Chu Danqing said so, the steward could not be stubborn, so he could only take a list and hand it to Chu Danqing.

"These are some matters in the residence that need your assistance; please take a look." The steward said.

After taking the list, Chu Danqing began to read, and Dimension Paradise also jumped out to brush its presence.

【Maintain porridge distribution order: 150 contribution points per day.】

【Purchase grain: Depends on the quantity of grain.】

【Pacify the beast infestation in the mine outside the city: 1000 contribution points.】

There were quite a few items in the list, and there was no need to accept them; as long as they were completed, they would be counted.

After Chu Danqing glanced at it, he closed it and asked casually: "Do you know about the Ji family in the commandery?"

Hearing this, the steward said immediately: "I know, they are the wealthiest in Yangxian."

"In terms of family background, they are not as good as our Lu clan, but in terms of family wealth, they far exceed the Lu clan by ten thousand times."

Chu Danqing's expression did not change; he remembered one thing: among the goods Ji Yun transported back earlier, it seemed to be grain.

"I will handle these three things; I have some friendship with the Ji family." Chu Danqing casually checked the first three contribution tasks.

Further down, the contribution points plummeted like the faction shop.

The key lies in the quantity of grain.

Otherwise, the remaining two tasks combined would only be 2050 contribution points, and that would only be obtained on the last day.

Chu Danqing was naturally unwilling; he wanted to obtain them in advance, so he needed enough grain.

The Ji family was just a breakthrough.

The steward looked at the three tasks Chu Danqing checked and was a bit hesitant to speak.

"Is there anything else?" Chu Danqing asked.

"Nothing, just that this Ji family relies on their wealth to be arrogant; I am afraid they are not easy to get along with." The steward reminded him.
