Chapter 416: A Pile of New Tasks
Chapter 416: A whole host of new tasks
Indeed, it would be quite strange if such observational skills could be applied to oneself.
Since the "omniscient perspective" couldn't be used on himself, and Gu Heng didn't have the idea of sneaking into his little apprentice's room in the middle of the night to spy on his sleeping posture just to test a skill, he had to put it aside for the time being.
He then used his omniscient perspective on the "dragon egg" placed on the table, but the only information Gu Heng received was "the egg of the Primordial Sacred Dragon".
normal.
This was given to me by the system, and the system probably won't let the omniscient perspective see anything else.
Otherwise, if the system says it's the "Primordial Holy Dragon," but the omniscient perspective sees it as a "little lapdog," wouldn't that be awkward?
With so much to see, he can now take his time.
There's no need to rush.
As long as he can cultivate, and the system has even simplified those incredibly abstract realms for cultivators into experience bars—filling the experience bar means breaking through to the next realm—the only thing Gu Heng needs is time. And how could he possibly lack time?
Gu Heng opened the taskbar.
The system just notified him that there were many updates in the taskbar. He can now cultivate, so the upcoming tasks will give him plenty to do, and the rewards will likely be more useful...
Although he didn't dislike the days of staying in the clinic, spending his days idly petting cats, Gu Heng would definitely not waste the opportunity to go out and see the world.
If I get tired, at least I have a home to come back to and rest. Once I've rested enough, I can go out and do some missions, and maybe see some of the world.
"Let me see what new tasks have been added..."
Gu Heng's gaze fell on the taskbar, where he noticed a series of new tasks.
"Please check the newly added tasks. Please proceed according to your ability."
"New quest 'Cultivating an Emperor': Please cultivate at least two people close to the host into the most powerful emperor in the Xuan Tian Realm. There is no time limit for this quest. Quest rewards: Unlock achievement 'Imperial Tutor', 10 Advanced Experience Vouchers!"
"New quest 'Seven Destiny Stars': The original related quests have been reassigned to this new quest. Activate the causal relationship of seven key destiny stars. There is no time limit for this quest. Quest reward: Unlock achievement 'Astrology Maniac'!"
"New Quest 'Pioneer': Please create at least one cultivation technique and one martial art, and promote them. There is no time limit for this quest. Quest Reward: 5 Intermediate Experience Vouchers!" "New Quest..."
After only a cursory glance, the system had added at least dozens of new tasks for him. At first, Gu Heng was all smiles and in a good mood because he had something to do. But later he started to feel troubled because these tasks still inherited the system's usual characteristics—abstract and difficult.
Gu Heng discovered that the simplest task was actually that of the "pioneer," who created his own techniques and martial arts—something that was practically effortless.
He had seen many charlatans claiming to have created so-called "top-notch martial arts techniques" or something similar. This was something even the most rudimentary charlatan knew, and it wouldn't take a normal person like him much time to do it.
But beyond that.
Just looking at these tasks made Gu Heng feel as if a thousand-pound stone was pressing down on his heart.
The training of emperors? And at least two?
And he must be "the most powerful emperor in the Xuan Tian Realm"??
He knew that Qin Yiyao might be destined to be an emperor; her status and lineage seemed to prove it. Yet, Gu Heng only knew one person with the potential to become an emperor.
So now that we've got the first one, who can we find for the second one? Are we going to train Su Jinxi to be a cat queen?
Moreover, despite the claim of "training," Gu Heng doesn't even know what else he can teach Qin Yiyao.
She's even better than me!
With his cultivation just beginning, at most a Qi Refining stage "master," what new things could he possibly impart to this little girl who has already obtained the opportunity to become a great cultivator?
Obviously not.
Furthermore, the system to be cultivated into an emperor is clearly stated: it must be top-tier, the most powerful, capable of commanding the obedience of millions, even the entire world. These tasks seem to have relatively clear and specific goals, and although they appear impossible to achieve, perhaps they can be accomplished once he becomes more powerful.
Some tasks are simply the epitome of abstraction.
For example, the quest "Mysterious Heavenly Taboo".
"New quest 'Mysterious Heaven Forbidden Zone' Stage 1: Please uncover the most unknown ancient secret of the Mysterious Heaven Realm. There is no time limit for this quest. Quest reward: Unlock the next stage!"
"Hint: This task is of utmost importance; the host must complete it!"
When Gu Heng saw this task, he was immediately overwhelmed.
Because he really didn't know how to start, he had no entry point, and even understanding the task itself was a bit difficult. Gu Heng could only think that the system was asking him to interpret the essence of this world, but that was a bit too philosophical.
System, the host is really bad at reading comprehension...
Besides these seemingly demanding tasks, there are also tasks like "Jungle Hunter" and "Civilian Guardian," which require him to kill a certain number of monsters or bandits, with the final reward being low-level experience vouchers or similar items.
This is relatively normal, using the most direct method to increase cultivation level.
"Looks like I'm going to be very, very busy from now on."
Gu Heng sighed and closed the task interface.
Suddenly having something to do, he also needed to spend a good night resting and regrouping, thinking about how to increase his cultivation experience bar.
Before I knew it, the storm outside had stopped, and the windows were no longer rattling.
It's time to sleep.
Gu Heng stood up and glanced at the "dragon egg" that remained motionless under the candlelight.
"I hope you really are a dragon, and not a dog that hatched from you." Although he had no hope for the system's gift, Gu Heng thought it would be quite interesting to have a little dragon as a pet.
As for Su Jinxi?
No, that should be considered another family member I picked up by chance, like Qin Yiyao.
My family is so wonderful, not to mention she's a catgirl.
