Chapter 820: Point System, Corrupted World! Part 2
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After about half a month of scrambling back and forth to collect points, Su Youzong finally collected enough to purchase the identity of Prickly Pear Town’s Deputy Director of Resource Department in Green Fruit Territory.
It was a total of 185 points for a lifetime. The fixed salary was 1.8 points per month, and as long as he worked for eight years, he could easily repay all his debt and start earning steadily for the rest of his life.
However, Su Youzong, who was 170 points in debt, did not dare to pay back slowly.
As soon as he took office, he started all sorts of huge corruption acts and even conspired with others to embezzle the Director of the Resource Department’s shares to pay back the money.
Such rampant deeds allowed him to pay off 80% of the debts in a little over a year.
As for the remaining 20%, they could only owe it to their unfortunate fate. Before they could recollect their debts, they had already met their ends.
Su Youzong completed his magnificent transformation through various means in two years.
Perhaps within this timeline, he would have climbed to a higher position in the future if not for Su Mo’s arrival.
‘Wait…
‘Was Su Youzong dead or alive before I arrived?’
Su Youzong was eager to collect money and reached into the director’s interests, secretly embezzling it into his pocket.
Thinking of the person’s unusual gaze, Su Mo made a wild guess.
However, before he gathered more information, the game panel popped up and gave him a definite answer.
[Record: It is detected that player “Su Mo” has triggered “Su Youzong’s” side mission.]
[Record: Would you like to accept the side mission—Last Wish?]
‘Oh?
‘There’s a side quest?’
Full of curiosity, Su Mo clicked on the game prompt.
Immediately, a panel similar to the pre-mission jumped out.
[Last Wish (Side mission)]
[Description: Su Youzong was assassinated by Sha Yikang, the Director of Prickly Pear Town’s Resource Department with poison because of a dispute over interests. Su Youzong had plenty of regrets before his death. Besides wanting revenge, the person he was most worried about was the daughter of his savior who saved him during the earlier stages of the wasteland, “Huang Xiaojuan.”]
[Quest Completion Condition: Help “Huang Xiaojuan” obtain civilian status in any of the top 30 territories within the wasteland.]
[Quest Completion Reward: Level 1 Pursuit (You can locate a creature of the mission world out of the ruins. The creature being located can only be a maximum of Level 2 talent.)]
[Mission Failure Penalty: None]
‘Level 2 talent…
‘The side mission’s reward is a simplified version of the pointer in my real timeline!’
Seeing the reward, Su Mo was intrigued.
The division of talents was a rule made by this world.
According to their skills mastered or achievements, they were divided into Level 1 to Level 5 talents.
Among them, the Level 2 talents consisted of skilled workers and managers.
A skilled worker had mastered a single skill and possessed the capabilities of a scientific researcher.
A manager would be at least in a leadership position at a county level and be able to manage 10,000 to 50,000 people.
Naturally, these people were ordinary people without any extraordinary skills eight years ago.
Making such achievements here meant they had potential and were worth training.
‘Accept!’
There was no penalty for not completing the side mission.
Moreover, after having a brief interaction with Huang Xiaojuan, Su Mo sensed that she was a kind-hearted person.
Therefore, there was no reason not to accept the task.
The minimum cost to get an identity in Heaven’s Origin was 800 points. Thus, two people would cost 1600 points.
Thinking of the huge debt he started with, Su Mo closed his eyes briefly and put them behind him.
No matter how great the obstacle, there would always be a way to overcome it.
‘Su Youzong, an ordinary person could earn enough wealth that would have taken ten years in a short period.
‘1600 points would be a piece of cake for me!’
After concluding, Su Mo chose to exit the game panel.
Huang Xiaojuan’s pretty face reappeared in front of him.
“Youzong, did you remember something?”
Huang Xiaojuan was overjoyed and quickly asked after seeing Su Mo’s eyes no longer confused like before.
“Yeah, I remembered a bit.”
“I never expected that b*stard Sha Yikang to boldly take action against me.”
Huang Xiaojuan was stunned for a moment. She covered her mouth and asked, “Was it Sha Yikang?”
“It must be because I reached into his scope of interest, or maybe he wanted to help another person to take my position. He is the reason I suffered memory loss.
“From now on, we have to be careful against Sha Yikang. Don’t touch or eat anything he brings to us.
“Also, prepare our luggage. I got the news that a foreign army is heading toward us. We have to leave as soon as possible!”
Su Mo leaned into Huang Xiaojuan’s ears and whispered several important news to her consecutively.
Seeing that Huang Xiaojuan’s smile froze and was replaced with fear, Su Mo paused and explained a few more details.
The foreign races were attacking in three days.
It would not be easy to find another credible person in a short period.
