Chapter 289: Suppressing the Bandits in Disguise

Chapter 289: Suppressing the Bandits in Disguise

Zhao Ya didn't pay attention to the middle-aged man's bad attitude. He casually opened the booklet and saw that it was densely packed with many tasks.

"There are overgrown weeds in front of the back hall, which is a fire hazard. Clearing the weeds will earn you some contribution from the division."

"There is insufficient dry firewood in the kitchen. For every thousand kilograms of dry firewood provided, we will receive a little contribution from the disciples."

There are many tedious and trivial things like this, from weeding to cutting firewood, from repairing houses to cleaning sewers, it is simply a hodgepodge of chores for field masters.

Zhao Ya couldn't help but laugh and cry.

No wonder those disciples complained just now. This kind of task is really boring, and it provides very few contribution points, which is not cost-effective at all.

If you want to go to the second floor of the library, you need at least one hundred sect contribution points, and you have to consume two points every hour.

As for the third floor, it requires a full thousand points of teacher contribution points, and the points consumed every hour reach as many as five points.

In fact, when the temple was first founded, there was no system of teacher contribution. At that time, any disciple of Canglong Temple could enter the library at any time, and even warriors from the Fourth Realm could go to the third floor.

But this also caused a lot of trouble.

First of all, some ambitious people forcefully practice those powerful techniques regardless of their own situation, resulting in injuries to themselves.

Secondly, some people with ulterior motives came to Canglong Temple for no other reason than the rich collection of books.

After arriving, he went to the second and third floors to secretly copy those precious exercises, and then took them out to sell them at a high price.

Such chaos became more and more frequent, and eventually the chief elder of Canglong Temple at that time began to restrict the disciples who could enter the library, and strictly ordered those who had not reached the realm or who had not spent enough time to worship in Canglong Temple not to enter the second and third floors of the library.

But this is only a temporary solution, not the root cause. After all, there are loopholes in the rules.

If you say you don't have enough realm to enter, then you can't stop people who have enough realm.

As for the time to worship at Canglong Temple, that is not a problem, because if you don't wait for one year, you will have to wait two years, and there will always be a day when the conditions are met.

Therefore, this chaos has not changed at all, but is getting worse.

It wasn't until later that an elder came up with the genius idea of ​​establishing this sect's contribution system.

This will not only stop those with evil intentions, but also greatly improve the cohesion of the division.

Some things that are inconvenient or disdainful for the elders can be accomplished by issuing division tasks.

Moreover, this master's contribution is not only used to exchange for reading in the library, but can also be used to purchase some special products of Canglong Temple, such as elixirs and weapons.

Because it was in the interests of all parties, the idea was approved. After it was launched, it was recognized by everyone at Canglong Temple.

The key is that this system is still one of the few, and the rules that continue to this day have not changed much.

There are many other rules with good intentions when they were established. After the changes of time and the greed of human nature, they have become riddled with holes and even become a tool for some people to make money. For example, Chuanwu Hall is the most popular one. An obvious example.

Zhao Ya thinks this should be due to the fact that two rules were added when the sect's contribution system was released.

The first is that division contribution can only be obtained by completing division tasks and cannot be redeemed in any other way.

The second article is that the teacher's contribution cannot be traded, donated, or inherited, and can only be owned by individuals.

It is these two seemingly unreasonable rules that ensure that this system continues to this day.

Even though Zhao Ya now has a good relationship with Guo Luming, the elder who guards the library, he still has to abide by this rule. If he doesn't have enough contribution from his sect, he can't go to the second floor.

Zhao Ya also had to admire the elder who established the sect's contribution system. This man understood human nature very well and closed all the loopholes in one fell swoop.

Even the release of division tasks has a strict process. Especially important tasks must be approved by the majority of the elders.

But this also leads to a consequence, that is, tasks with appropriate difficulty and relatively good contribution returns are extremely popular, and people will rush to take them as soon as they are launched.

The rest are either useless tasks such as weeding and cutting firewood, or some very difficult tasks.

Zhao Ya quickly flipped through the first half of the book and finally saw some tasks that were not chores.

"I heard that there are powerful alien beasts in the mountains and forests three hundred miles to the east. Kill them and bring back the corpses. The contribution of the teacher's sect will be rewarded depending on the level of the alien beasts. The contribution of the five-level alien beasts will be 100, and the ordinary open-vein realm alien beasts will be rewarded. Two hundred contribution points, if there is an explosion in the meat field, it will belong to the task executor."

There is also a line of small print at the end. This mission can only be received by warriors of the fifth realm and above. It is recommended to form a team.

There are strange beasts appearing three hundred miles away from here? Zhao Ya was a little surprised.

However, since it was suggested to form a team, it proved that this strange beast must be extraordinary, so Zhao Ya wisely chose to give up.

Continuing to look back, the following tasks are more difficult than the last.

Although the sects' contribution rewarded are very high, and some even reward 700 or 800 sects' contribution in one task, Zhao Ya understands that this kind of task is definitely not something he can complete now.

Just as he was carefully considering his choice, the middle-aged man sitting behind the table looked up at Zhao Ya and couldn't help but chuckle when he saw that he was flipping through the second half of the book.

"Boy, given your current strength, it's better not to look too far ahead at the tasks ahead. Find a task from the front, weeding and cutting down trees, and do it slowly. Wait until you have accumulated enough strength to think about the rest."

Zhao Ya looked up at the middle-aged man and saw that although he smelled of alcohol, his eyes were very clear.

And this reminder was indeed out of good intentions, so Zhao Ya nodded.

"Thank you, but I think this task is quite suitable for me."

As he spoke, Zhao Ya put the booklet on the table and pointed at one of the tasks.

The middle-aged man looked over, a strange look suddenly appeared on his face, and then he looked up at Zhao Ya.

"Are you sure you want to accept this mission?"

"Sure."

"Okay then, give me your belt."

The middle-aged man stopped persuading and just said to Zhao Ya after completing the routine registration.

"I wish you success."

"Thank you!"

Zhao Ya reached out to take the waist badge and the teacher's task list, turned around and went out.

Looking at his back, the middle-aged man shook his head secretly, not believing that this young and outrageous warrior had any hope of completing his mission.

But what does this have to do with me? If he can persuade me once, he has done his best, and he can do the rest.

Thinking of this, the middle-aged man took out the wine bottle and continued to drink.

At the same time, after leaving the large courtyard of the division's contribution office, Zhao Ya found a deserted place and took out the division task list and thought about it carefully.

The task sheet was written very briefly, with only a few sentences.

"Eighty miles away from the mountain, there is a group of bandits near Xiushui Town, which is under the jurisdiction of this temple. The leader is nicknamed Heiyunzi. He has the strength of the fifth realm and has about twenty people. This bandit is elusive and extremely vigilant. , several encirclement and suppression campaigns failed to find its foothold.”

"If anyone destroys this bandit, the division will be rewarded with a contribution worth two hundred, plus thanks from the merchants in Xiushui Town and nearby."

After reading the list, Zhao Ya let out a sigh of relief and put it away again.

The reason why I chose this task was of course because of its generous rewards.

Two hundred contribution points is enough for me to climb to the second floor and read books for fifty hours.

Secondly, it is because this task seems dangerous, but it is very suitable for Zhao Ya.

Because the leader of this bandit, Hei Yunzi, only has the strength of the fifth level.

And Zhao Ya is confident that he has no opponent among the five realms.

Also, there are only about twenty people in this group of bandits. They can only be considered a small-scale bandit. It will not be too difficult for them to deal with it on their own.

Of course, this situation only applies to Zhao Ya. Others would rather choose the task of killing the alien beast than this one.

This is because the whereabouts of this group of bandits are erratic. It is extremely difficult to find their whereabouts, and it is even more difficult to completely eliminate them.

But this is not a problem for Zhao Ya, because this task requires more of the ability to find traces and conceal assassinations, both of which Zhao Ya happens to have.

Moreover, this kind of bandits are often a ragtag group of people who look vicious, but as long as the leader is killed, they will immediately become disorganized.

As for the task of killing the alien beast, it seemed simple, but the suggestion to form a team proved how dangerous it was.

However, Zhao Ya did not dare to be careless at all. He went back to his yard and prepared carefully. After taking all the application items with him, he quietly left Canglong Temple.

The rules of Canglong Temple are that ordinary disciples can go down the mountain, but they cannot stay overnight.

Of course, this can be excluded if there is a division task order, but you still have to report your whereabouts before you can spend the night outside.

Zhao Ya did not report it, because he was just going to inquire about the situation this time and would not stay out overnight.

After leaving Canglong Temple, Zhao Ya went straight to Xiushui Town, which was eighty miles away.

The distance of eighty miles is extremely easy for Zhao Ya now.

Soon, the outline of a town store appeared faintly in front of them.

Zhao Ya did not rush in, but found a deserted forest, and then took out a small bundle.

After opening it, there were actually many tools used for makeup and disguise and a set of prepared clothes.

Zhao Ya skillfully began to change the description.

This was all learned from Cong Bo, including this set of tools, which Zhao Ya specially prepared according to what Cong Bo said, just in case of emergency.

Sure enough, it is used now.

Just as they were having some tea, a middle-aged man in Tsing Yi walked out of the woods, holding a small gong in his hand.

This is a special tool for traveling doctors. When you knock it, people will know that there is a doctor selling toothache medicine and acupuncture.

The reason for dressing up like this is naturally to make it easier to find out information.

At this time, the shops in the town were relatively closed. If outsiders suddenly broke in, it would easily arouse the vigilance and hostility of the local residents.

But it is different from wandering doctors or salesmen. These people are originally businessmen who travel around the world, so naturally not many people pay attention to them.

In this way, Zhao Ya slowly walked towards Xiushui Town.
