Chapter 678: Employee Mission

“I’ll have to capture beast kings in the cultivation sites. But I don’t have time. What if as soon as I leave…”

Su Ping was worried.

He was afraid that the wild beasts would arrive the moment he entered a cultivation site. No one could contact him when he was in the cultivation site. He thought about it for a while with a frown.

Eventually, Su Ping decided that he would go to a cultivation site to find battle pets first!

War was coming sooner or later. Staying there worrying about it would be useless. If the wild beasts came, so be it. But he chose to leave the Little Skeleton, the Inferno Dragon and the other battle pets there.

If the base city was attacked while he was away, his battle pets could keep the wild beasts occupied for a while.

After all, his battle pets working together weren’t any weaker than him. Su Ping felt better.

He could do without his battle pets in the cultivation sites. The worst thing would be to waste some energy points on revivals.

He summoned his battle pets right away.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Three swirls opened up. The Little Skeleton, the Inferno Dragon, the Dark Dragon Hound and the Purple Python came out.

Having trained with Su Ping and having explored the many different cultivation sites with him, those battle pets had become mystic and vicious in their own right.

Su Ping looked at them and he remembered their first encounter when he came to this world.

Back then, they were still very weak. The Little Skeleton was just a common low-rank skeleton.

common

The Dark Dragon Hound was a Moon Chasing Hound that its original master had abandoned.

The Purple Python came out from an egg. While the Purple Python was still at the sixth rank, it already had combat strength of the Ocean State, and it also had some primitive energy.

The battle pet with the best bloodline was the Inferno Dragon. Su Ping didn’t think there could be any other dragon as powerful as his Inferno Dragon on the Blue Planet!

“I will leave this place to you.”

Su Ping told his battle pets about his plan.

The battle pets quickly picked up his intentions.

The Dark Dragon Hound barked and patted the floor, as if saying ‘don’t worry. I will take care of it.’

The floor would have cracked already if that weren’t Su Ping’s store.

The Purple Python wiggled slightly, eager to get into a good fight.

Su Ping looked at the Purple Python. The task given to the Purple Python was to stay on the street and if Longjiang was breached, the street would be the last safe place. The range of the store would be perfectly safe.

The Purple Python was the weakest of his pets; Su Ping was still worried about it.

Su Ping patted the Little Skeleton’s skull and said gently, “Take care of them for me.”

The Little Skeleton raised its head with a dull look on its face. Still, the Little Skeleton nodded.

Its cervical spine almost broke and the skull almost fell.

Su Ping smiled at the skeleton and turned to the Inferno Dragon. “Hey big guy, don’t go overboard if the enemy is too strong.”

The Inferno Dragon scratched its head, trying to comprehend Su Ping’s words. After mulling the message over for half a minute, the Inferno Dragon nodded and said, “Ai… understond.”

What accent was that? Su Ping shook his head speechlessly. After talking to the battle pets one by one, Su Ping said to Joanna, “Can you help me find forty Void State beast kings?”

“It won’t be easy.”

Joanna frowned. Beast kings at the Void State could be the rulers of an area in the Demigod Burial. Of course, she could easily contain them but it would take some time to find them.

After all, those beast kings would have their own territory and usually, only one or two beast kings of the Void State could stay in one location. The other way was to find some major beast lord; there would usually be Void State beasts acting as minions.

Su Ping knew that this wasn’t an easy task for Joanna. After all, time was pressing and it wouldn’t be easy for anyone to find forty high ranked beasts while worrying about the time.

Joanna had already helped him a lot.

“As the boss of the store, your employee has done what she should do. This is extra work for her. You can put up an employee’s mission and she will receive some rewards if she can finish it,” the system explained in Su Ping’s mind.

Every time the system talked, it would be because it had peeped into Su Ping’s mind.

Su Ping was too tired to complain about that.

Luckily, he was still single.

Otherwise…

He couldn’t even think about that!

“Don’t worry. You are too blunt to find a girlfriend,” The system commented.

What!

Su Ping rolled his eyes. He didn’t want to argue with the system at this time. “What do you mean by the reward? Do I provide the reward?”

“You can choose any rewards that you want to give her, but you will have to choose from your own collection. You don’t have the right to give away items from the system’s shop.”

Su Ping knew that b*tch of a system wouldn’t be that generous. “Say that again?”

“You won’t notice that I’m cursing you if you stop peeping into my mind.”

“If you didn’t curse me, why would I have to read your mind?”

“Reading? To hell with…”

“Second offense,” the system counted.

Su Ping took a deep breath to calm himself down.

“Let the great system give you some pointers. As the boss, you have fifty employee merit points that you can use each quarter. You can reward any outstanding employee or you can use the merit points in a mission. She will like this,” the system explained.

Su Ping was surprised.

I could have 50 merit points at my disposal each quarter?

He voiced his question, “Why didn’t I know of this before?”

“I didn’t tell you. Of course, you wouldn’t know.”

“…Why didn’t you tell me?”

“You didn’t ask me. Why would I tell you?”

Su Ping felt he was going crazy.

The system had to be there just to punish him. “I’m here to tell you. Otherwise, you would always be a loser,” the system said.

K.O. The system wins.

Su Ping decided to get the job done and not be humiliated again. He pulled up Joanna’s information. Her merit points were now at 165!

She only had 100 when they first signed the contract!

She would be marked as an outstanding employee with 200 merit points, while anything below 80 would deem her as unqualified.

Joanna had been given some temporary missions distributed by the system and she had finished all of them. For example, she helped treat a battle pet and she gained compliments from the customers. All of that was counted as part of the evaluation.

She only needs 35 merit points and as an outstanding employee… She’ll have the chance to travel around the universe and visit different worlds for seven days with nothing to worry about… Suddenly, Su Ping became jealous of Joanna.

A seven-day trip, free of worries!

During those seven days, she could revive all she wanted and she could visit any plane she wanted!

Su Ping had used his free-revivals time to visit the Chaotic Realm of the Undead. But Joanna’s target was to get to the Archean Divinity.

Su Ping remembered all the help that Joanna had given him; he was more than happy to grant her wish.

Joanna said all of a sudden, “I can ask a servant waiting on my original self to come and help us with the capture.”

Su Ping was surprised. “What now?”

“A guard waiting on my original self,” Joanna stated.

Su Ping was curious about her original self. “Wouldn’t we finish the task faster if your original self could come in person?”.

Joanna wore a troubled look. “I wish. But… she cannot.”

“What do you mean?”

“Alas, that is complicated.” Su Ping asked her, “Wouldn’t your original self be in danger if you make that guard come to see us?”

“She should be fine as long as we’re fast enough,” Joanna reassured him.

Su Ping remembered Joanna had mentioned that her original self couldn’t join them when they visited the Demigod Burial. Her original self had to be trapped somewhere, or was tending to injuries at the moment. “Then let us hurry.” Joanna was the only one who could help him.

“I have a mission for you. Accept it.”

Su Ping asked the system in the meantime, “How do I send her a mission request?”

“Write down the mission and the rewards. I will give it to her.” The system sounded quite friendly all of a sudden.

A frame popped out in front of Su Ping; it served as a medium for him to write down the mission details as well as the reward.

Su Ping thought about it and began to write.

Help capture forty beast kings at the Void State and deliver them to the store.

Reward: 35 merit points and… a hug!
