System Tasks: 3 Rules, Disciple's Visit

Chapter 11 System Tasks: Three Rules, Disciple's Visit

There are clear time intervals between tasks.

Or perhaps, the degree of "suppression, insult, and contempt" from these people is too low, and the intensity of You Chen's "counterattack" is insufficient. In fact, these tasks are all considered "basic living allowances" provided by the system.

It's not that a task can only be triggered once a month; rather, there's a minimum guarantee every month.

After all, these "comebacks" are all too "small-scale" compared to those novel protagonists, none of them have ever escalated to the point of life and death - of course, for a 9 or 10-year-old child to be so ferocious is unacceptable even for a Soul Master with such precociousness, and would have long been regarded as a candidate for a Fallen Soul Master.

You Chen made this guess.

However, if no one bothers You Chen, the system won't create a task out of thin air. There needs to be at least a "conflict" to trigger the minimum guarantee.

Therefore, in some calm months, no tasks are triggered at all.

He temporarily listed this "minimum living allowance" as the second rule of the system.

The third rule is that tasks can be abandoned.

This can actually be inferred from the fact that the beginner's quests are "not to be abandoned".

Over the past ten days or so, the tasks given by the system have spanned more than two years, and the targets of these tasks include "classmates who look down on him and senior students", "teachers who look down on him and think he has no future", and "girls who he has no feelings for but the system calls them goddesses, when in fact they just mean he's ugly"...

Even though You Chen had invited as many people as possible to guess, there were still some omissions, or people who were not around Wuhun City.

Some of the grave mounds were even covered with grass that was three feet tall.

With so many tasks, the ways to "make a comeback" are naturally not limited to "fighting and brawling".

For those teachers who look down on him, it's natural to "show off his abilities and get revenge," while for those female soul masters who look down on him... well, now You Chen can basically complete his mission just by walking past them.

Just as You Chen was reaping the rewards from the system tasks, an uninvited guest arrived.

The visit of someone who wasn't invited to the banquet was within You Chen's expectations.

After all, You Chen had made quite a stir, and during this period, his manor villa was bustling with people coming and going.

Anyone who pays attention to him must have noticed what's going on with him.

However, the choice of who would visit was somewhat unexpected for You Chen.

The banquet was in progress on the seventh day.

You Chen was discussing theories with the teacher who had initially taught him about martial spirits when Grace quietly came to his side.

Amidst the questioning gazes of the middle-aged teacher and some guests, she leaned close to You Chen's ear and whispered a few words. You Chen frowned slightly.

"You Chen, is there something urgent? If you have something to do, go ahead and do it. Even without your theoretical master's guidance, we're not completely clueless about how to proceed."

The middle-aged teacher looked at You Chen with concern and teased him playfully.

During this time, Grace's efficiency and competence were evident to him, and he knew how dutifully this maid performed her duties.

Unless they were truly in trouble, they would probably never disturb the host's banquet.

So he took the initiative to give You Chen this way out.

Unfortunately, this high-EQ response is probably going to be of little use...

"You Chen, are you plotting something again?!"

A crisp, delicate scolding voice came from the main entrance of the banquet hall.

A girl with shoulder-length blonde hair and a white dress with gold thread walked in with an indignant expression.

Although she still looks very young, barely over ten years old, one can already vaguely see her future captivating beauty.

Even now, that simple and elegant dress already accentuates a slender figure beyond her years.

"Wait, Nana, barging in like this is a complete slap in the face to the teacher! Why were you so impulsive!"

Behind her followed two boys who were two or three years older than her.

One had silver-white hair and wore a long robe that matched his hair color. His appearance was similar to that of a blonde girl, both alluring and handsome.

One had fiery red, tousled hair, wore a simple short-sleeved shirt and shorts, had a sturdy build, and an ordinary, somewhat honest appearance.

Both of them looked anxious and helpless, and it was the red-haired, strong, and kind-hearted boy who spoke up to dissuade them.

Upon seeing the trio who were clearly uninvited, many of the guests present showed displeasure.

However, some people frowned and observed for a few seconds before their eyes widened slightly, as if they had realized the identities of the three boys and girls.

Before these people could even offer a reminder, someone else retorted, "Where did these ill-mannered brats come from? Don't you know there's a banquet and social gathering going on here? How dare you barge in without regard for the hosts?!"

A friend who had come with the man saw that his friend had already reprimanded him and silently withdrew his hand, which he had intended to hold.

"Um?"

The blonde girl raised her eyebrows, glaring angrily at the guest with an air of arrogance. After glancing at his familiar yellow robes, she sneered, "A mere yellow-robed steward... are you trying to lecture me in place of my teachers?"

Just as the yellow-clad butler was about to fall into the blonde girl's trap, You Chen finally spoke up.

His expression turned slightly cold as he said, "Hu Liena, what do you mean by 'mere yellow-robed deacons'? It is because of these numerous deacons, tirelessly carrying out many important tasks, that the Spirit Hall is truly the Spirit Hall! Do you think you can look down on our lowly staff just because you have the Pope's favor?"

Huliena, the Pope...

Mentioning these two keywords makes the origins of the trio self-evident.

These were the three members of the future Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall.

The yellow-robed steward, who had originally intended to continue rebuking and refuting Hu Liena, widened his eyes upon hearing this. Only then did he realize what he had just done. He gasped and secretly showed a grateful expression to You Chen, who had interrupted the conversation.

As for You Chen, he was certainly not putting on an act to gain favor with the yellow-robed steward or the others present.

He only took the blame and attracted hatred to prevent these people from being afraid of Hu Liena or Bibi Dong behind Hu Liena and running away, thus affecting his mission.

"Don't try to intimidate me with this stuff I don't understand!"

Hu Liena wrinkled her nose, wanting to say something to refute You Chen, but...

Ultimately, having never received compulsory education, she couldn't think of a way to refute it, so she chose to throw a tantrum.

Many people present looked at Hu Liena's appearance with a hint of disdain in their eyes.

"This is the Pope's disciple? He doesn't seem very bright."

Many people secretly grumbled in their hearts. They dared not say it aloud, but they certainly had plenty of complaints in their minds.

"Cough cough."

The burly Yan coughed, quickly stepped forward, and bowed to You Chen with a look of shame after passing Hu Liena: "Teacher, it was my fault for not stopping Nana, which allowed her to barge in and even knock out several servants..."
