Section 20: The Watering Task, Robbing Yan Que's Strange Encounter

  The shameful legacy of Mo Xuyou: The third principal of the Tian Ge Academy, timid and afraid of trouble, weak in character, with no achievements to speak of, has always been a source of shame for later generations. However, before his death, he left behind a will that astonishingly claimed there was a mysterious legacy hidden within the academy, waiting for someone destined to find it.

  However, generation after generation of successors of the academy have not found this inheritance. Until now, the Tian Ge Academy has had 17 principals, and the so-called mysterious inheritance is still nowhere to be seen.

  Can you complete this unprecedented and unrepeatable task?

  Acceptance condition: 2 credits. (Note: After acceptance, you will receive a clue about the will.)

  Task reward: 100 credits!

  After reading this task, Chu Yun's eyes involuntarily paused on the 100 academic credits, and then sighed with a bitter smile, saying: "Tian Ge Shu Yuan has cultivated so many outstanding talents over the years, but no one has completed this task? It's really unthinkable. I'm now very suspicious that this is a prank."

  Jin Bi Han slightly shook her head, a hint of a smile playing on her lips: "That's because Brother Chu hasn't seen the clues in the will. The will is actually a riddle, and the answer lies on a certain stone wall on Qing Shan Island. There are patterns carved on the stone wall, which contain hidden information leading to the lower gate tower. From the carvings on the lintel of the lower gate tower, you'll get another piece of information pointing to another location..."

  Chu Yun was astonished and involuntarily asked, "Isn't that to say, this will is very likely to be true? Being able to spend so much thought and set up a test. It just shows that the inherited object is not trivial."

  Jin Bi Han was still shaking her head: "As previously said, after several twists and turns, the clue was cut off. Many people racked their brains, but couldn't figure out this link, and couldn't deduce the next step. There were also many people who tried in vain and simply thought that this was indeed a malicious prank."

  Chu Yun revealed an understanding smile: "100 academic credits are too tempting, and that mysterious inheritance is even more heart-wrenching. But to accept this task, it actually requires 2 credits? The person who set up this task has a high level of understanding of human psychology."

  Adding this condition is not to keep people at arm's length, but to greatly increase the attractiveness of the task. 2 credits are not lacking in the later period. If the task is completed, there will not only be a generous reward, but also the highest honor. It can absolutely attract young men and women like moths to fire.

  "The person who set this task is the third dean. It was he who voluntarily established it before his death, and as a result, created the longest time, which is considered to be the worst and most disgusting task." Jin Biheng said with a smile.

  It's really a smile that's worth a thousand charms, making everyone around her stare in amazement.

  Chu Yun watched with his eyes, but was guessing what kind of demon beast Jin Bi Han was. The spiritual energy he had given back to him could make someone become so handsome. It was almost comparable to the heavenly fox. His thinking was preconceived, and he didn't even think that the other party would be a woman disguised as a man.

  "After all these years, those who have been disappointed and failed by this task will naturally not comment well on it. Maybe I'll try to take on this task in the future, but for now, it's not the right time."

  Chu Yun slightly shook her head and shifted her gaze away from this task.

  He then discovered that many of the tasks in Miscellaneous Hall had task requirements. For example, the task of refining Dan medicine usually required scholars to have taken courses in Dan medicine. This was also to prevent some impulsive scholars from overestimating themselves or being attracted by rewards, blindly consuming their precious energy on tasks without achieving results.

  At first glance, there aren't many tasks that are truly suitable for someone like him who has just been reborn.

  "Generally speaking, we newcomers are most suitable for doing some cleaning, delivering messages, and miscellaneous tasks. Brother Chu, you'd better choose quickly, or else these tasks will all be taken soon." Jin Bihe reminded in a timely manner.

  Chu Yun nodded slightly, and suddenly her eyes lit up. She pointed at a piece of information with her finger and said, "I choose this task."

  Rumors and gossip watered the task of spreading rumors.

  Rumors and gossip are one of the most important demonic plants in Tian Ge Academy. To carefully maintain its growth, fresh seawater from the seaside is needed every day. Accept a task to maintain for 7 days. Task acceptance conditions: 1 credit. Task completion reward: 3 credits.

  Ordinary watering task, only 1 credit. The harvest credits for this task are as many as 2 credits.

  Of course this reason is not the point.

  Chu Yun thought that in his previous life, Yan Que was under the Flowing Words and Speeches Vine, where he had a strange encounter. He found a rare and superior demon plant seed - the Huan Zhuan Dan Yuan Tree seed.

  He took advantage of this task and approached the Rumor Mill with a clear conscience. If he found the seeds of the Dan Yuan Tree, wouldn't that be wonderful?

  "Not good. Brother Chu, this task is not suitable." As soon as Jin Bi saw Chu Yun choose this task, she furrowed her brow and advised, "Brother Chu doesn't know, but this task is quite arduous. Every day at dawn, you'll have to carry a full bucket of water from the foot of the mountain by the sea, hike up to the mountaintop on foot, and water it. The Flowing Words Wind Speech Bamboo has a strange temperament and dislikes other demonic energies. Therefore, throughout the entire process, you can't borrow any demonic powers. Otherwise, the water you carry will be wasted and you'll have to go get more."

  Chu Yun suddenly understood: "No wonder these scholars are not selected, and the conditions for accepting tasks are set up to prevent scholars from giving up on this task. However, carrying water upstairs is actually a good exercise that can temper my physique. My mind is made up, thank you for your kindness, Shi brother."

  "Train your body? What a strange idea......" Jin Bi Han shook her head and didn't continue to persuade.

  Choosing this task, Chu Yun's jade pendant academic points suddenly dropped from 4 to 3.

  "I don't plan on choosing tasks anymore. The remaining 3 minutes should be kept for exchanging food. Speaking of which, I haven't eaten anything all day. How about having a meal together, Shi Xiong?" Chu Yun put away the jade pendant and extended an invitation. He planned to get along well with this roommate.

  Jin Bi Han nodded in agreement.

  The middle canteen is responsible for the meals of the students, but not all students can afford to eat there. The vast majority of new students will choose to go to the lower-level steamed bun shops and other small eateries to exchange food to fill their stomachs.

  In comparison, the food in the cafeteria is more expensive. Three ordinary meals cost 1 academic credit.

  These dishes are by no means ordinary, with precious ingredients and special cooking methods. They have the effect of elixirs, and long-term consumption can greatly improve one's physique. Their effects are second only to spiritual energy transformation and superior to elixirs.

  It is said that taking medicine is inferior to dietary supplements, and this is exactly the reason why.

  After having a full meal in the cafeteria, Chu Yun suddenly felt all his fatigue disappear, and his body and mind were comfortable. Under the envious and jealous eyes of the freshmen, he walked out of the cafeteria with Jin Bi Han.

  These freshmen don't have that kind of capital. At most, they only have 6 credits, and their elective courses are already tight. At this time, most people can't even eat a meal. They're all busy completing tasks and earning credits.

  Returning to his quarters, Chu Yun had no intention of going out again. He sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed, with Xuejian placed on his knees, and constantly had spiritual energy flowing back, enhancing Chu Yun's physical quality.

  Jin Bi Han was somewhat tense at this time. The stimulating scene of Chu Yun stripping her clothes last night was still fresh in her memory.

  "He won't be coming back tonight, will he?"

  Princess Dunhuang sat on her bed, her beautiful eyes occasionally sweeping towards Chu Yun, praying in her heart and feeling very nervous.
