Chapter 40 Chicken soup is here!

The 499th time.

Su Ling'er felt like she had become an empty shell, a walking corpse.

She stopped thinking about why the fallen leaves could never be swept up, or why the water tank was always empty again.

Her mind seemed to have stopped thinking; she was just numbly repeating the same actions amidst the endless noise, walking to the next courtyard, and repeating it all over again.

As she dragged her feet into the Hall of Transmission for the fifth time, the numb aura emanating from her caused some of the disciples who were talking nearby to instinctively avoid her.

Lin Qingfeng stood under a stone pillar inside the hall, staring at the sect panel that only players could see.

[Sect Information]

Sect Contribution (NPC): 500/500000

Looking at the number that had finally gone from 0 to 500, Lin Qingfeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Alright, 500 contribution points have unlocked other daily tasks, so Junior Sister can finally do something else.

If he kept sweeping like this, he was really afraid that he would completely malfunction the NPC in the sect who was already a bit mentally challenged.

If one ends up like Qian Buyu, it would be a great loss.

Su Ling'er placed the jade slip on the stone platform in front of the mission elder, having given up all hope.

She waited for the elder to hand her another jade slip, just as he had done hundreds of times before, so that she could begin the next cycle of reincarnation.

However, this time, the mission elder's empty eye sockets seemed to twitch slightly.

He took the jade slip and then took a brand new jade slip from the stone wall.

The jade slip had a slightly better luster than the previous ones, which were duller.

Su Ling'er's heart skipped a beat.

Have we finally reached 500 times?

As she watched the jade slip being pushed in front of her, a surge of heat rose from her dantian and welled up in her heart.

Are we finally going to break free from this endless cycle of reincarnation?
Finally, we don't have to go to those eerie courtyards and that perpetually insatiable water vat in the back hill anymore, right?

Is it finally going to end?!
She took the jade slip with trembling hands and probed into it with her mind.

[Sweep away the fallen leaves of the sect]

[Water was carried to fill the nine water vats behind the mountain]

Upon seeing the first two options, the junior sister's initial excitement plummeted once again.

Why are there still only these two?!

Then, her gaze swept downwards.

[Chop down hundreds of loads of dry firewood from the back mountain]

[Renovating three acres of medicinal herb fields in Baicaogu]

[Cutting down hundreds of green bamboo stalks]

This time, there are five tasks.

At the very bottom, there is a line of smaller text.

You can choose one, or you can accept them all.

Su Ling'er's gaze was fixed on the last three lines of text:
Chopping firewood, turning over the soil, cutting bamboo.

Having been tormented by endless sweeping and fetching water for so long, she felt an urge to cry when she saw these three options, all of which were chores.

How long will this cycle of reincarnation last?
It doesn't matter anymore, nothing matters anymore!

As long as she's no longer faced with endless fallen leaves and a water tank that can never be filled, she'll do any kind of chores!
She was really at her limit; her mind was almost unable to think straight!

The other disciples in the sect also knew that their junior sister had met the contribution requirements.

After all, there is only one native NPC in the sect, and everyone is paying attention to her quest progress.

So, under the prior arrangement of the eldest brother, they began a new round of "encouragement".

"Junior Sister! You've unlocked a new mission!"

"I knew it! Five hundred times of perseverance, and your Dao heart is steadfast! The sect has finally recognized you!"

"Your Daoist spirit will never die! Your struggle will never cease! Junior Sister, your future is bright!"

The group of guys behind her started their persistent cheering again, and Su Ling'er's face was almost numb from their shouting.

I'm so annoying.

Are you really going to force disciples who are entering the immortal sect for the first time like this?!
Don't you have even a shred of conscience?!
As expected, demonic cultivators are utterly devoid of conscience!
She reached out and ran her hand across the jade slip, accepting all three remaining tasks.

As for the first two items, she ignored them automatically, feeling dizzy even looking at them.

She looked at herself and, upon introspection, found that she had very little spiritual energy left.

However, she must figure out what this new mission will bring before she completely exhausts her spiritual power.

Otherwise, she herself felt she would die with her eyes wide open in disbelief.

She walked out of the Transmission Hall without looking back, as if she had made up her mind.

...In one of the logging sites on the back mountain.

Su Ling'er stood in front of a pile of dry firewood.

The senior brother and his support group still didn't step forward to help; they just kept chanting slogans to encourage her.

"Junior Sister, don't underestimate this ordinary wood. Every swing of the axe is a test of your own strength!"

"Keep going! Chop away all the distracting thoughts in your mind along with these wood chips!"

Su Ling'er closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

However, this task is not so unusual, and its difficulty is similar to the previous tasks of sweeping and filling water.

But the only difference is that this is finally a new mission.

She no longer seemed to be the figure who was born to sweep floors and fetch water.

Aside from the incessant cacophony...

It was a very simple task; she easily chopped down all the firewood with her wooden sword and then went to cut down a hundred green bamboos in the bamboo forest.

She couldn't understand it either, because this wooden sword looked no different from ordinary wood, and wasn't even made of iron.

Why does chopping have such a miraculous effect?

Is the level of understanding too low to see it?

But if only those with high levels of understanding can see this, then why would they be given away for free to newly initiated disciples?
Her thoughts were interrupted by the voices of her support group.

"The bamboo is resilient, and so is the Daoist heart! Junior sister, you can cut bamboo to reach the heavens!"

"One, two, three! Hurry, hurry, hurry! Don't keep our senior brother waiting!"

Su Ling'er turned her head to the side and rolled her eyes.

I don't want to hear it, I don't want to see it.

And aren't you embarrassed?
Destroy it.

hurry up.

……

On the path leading to Hundred Herbs Valley, although Su Ling'er's spiritual energy had not recovered, her mental state had improved considerably, and even her steps were much lighter.

Finally, only this one item remains.

Managing a medicinal herb garden is simply a matter of weeding and turning over the soil.

I wonder what the reward will be this time. I'll take this opportunity to observe Hundred Herbs Valley properly.

She remembered that when she last came, Lin Qingfeng wanted to test her with an evil flower that could reflect her inner self, and she even received a "flower of sorrow".

Sigh, just thinking about all this made Su Ling'er's heart sink again.

This place is full of pitfalls; I hope I don't run into that eccentric senior brother Shen Nong again.

Soon, a medicinal herb field came into view.

There seemed to be someone tending to the medicinal herb field nearby.

And that day, those guys who were bombarding us with their ear-piercing noise started again.

"That's right! Managing the medicinal herb fields may seem ordinary, but it's actually a way of communicating with nature!"

"Junior sister, use your patience and hard work to understand the rise and fall of life!"

Su Ling'er's eyelids twitched involuntarily.

She watched the "atmosphere team" skillfully unfurling the prayer flags and waving the radiant stones, seemingly never tiring.

Upon closer inspection, their eyes appeared somewhat vacant.

She really wanted to ask a question.

Aren't you tired?
Don't you even practice your own spiritual cultivation?
Are they all that free?

Does he only revolve around me all day?
Haven't you all noticed how incredibly empty your facial expressions have become?!
Sigh, it seems you've all been deeply brainwashed by this demonic sect to be like this...

This evil sect is truly wicked beyond measure!
However, those players had already logged off and enabled "auto-follow" and "action memory" modes for their characters.

They repeated the cheering gestures and slogans, automatically following their junior sister.

At this moment, Lin Qingfeng walked out of the crowd again, his hands behind his back.

He looked at his junior sister and revealed that familiar smile again.

Looks like it's time to give my junior sister another dose of motivational talk!

Moreover, although the reward for completing this task of managing the herb garden is not high, it is actually much better than the initial daily tasks!

But he had just finished studying some inspirational quotes.

If not now, when?

Chicken soup is coming!

 The update time was later changed to midnight and 12:00.
