Chapter 276: 70 Places

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

‘It’s impossible to complete this task in one minute!’

Qin Ya felt incredulous upon hearing Lin Yao’s words. Since the mission had been issued by the government, she knew that it was by no means an easy task.

However, she also knew that Lin Yao would not lie about this.

While she still found it unbelievable, Qi Qing, the official liaison of the team, also received a call from the Adventurers Association.

“Hello, is this Mr. Lin Yao’s team? This is the Adventurers Association. We are here to inform you…”

When the call was over, Qi Qing, who was on the phone, looked a little dumbfounded as she looked at the girls in the room. After a long time, she suppressed her excitement and said, “The authorities have confirmed that Ah Yao completed the task. 3,000 points and 3,000 merit points have been credited by the Adventurers Association.”

“W-We got the points?”

“Great.”

“Ah Yao is the best.”

The quick completion of the task surprised the girls, but after their initial surprise, they cheered loudly. In the end, it was Lin Yao who woke them up from their excitement.

“Don’t rejoice yet. You should find more tasks for me.” Lin Yao paused and, after thinking about it for a few brief seconds, he added, “Yin Yin, Yin Meng, do you still remember the issue with your mother and the three places in the safety zone?”

When they heard this, the joy on the two girls’ faces faded, and they hesitated slightly.

“I… I have already told my mother about this, and Tianhai City has also agreed to it.”

Fearing that Lin Yao would withdraw the safety zone places, Yin Yin had told her mother that the matter had been decided. Even if Lin Yao blamed her for this, she was prepared to take responsibility for it. After all, this matter was related to her mother.

Lin Yao sensed the change in her emotions and shook his head, not knowing what to say. “In your eyes, am I a nasty person who goes back on his word?”

“Of course not. I just, just…”

Lin Yao could tell from the voice in the headset that the other person seemed to be on the verge of tears, so he stopped teasing her.

“Okay, don’t worry. It’s a good thing. I’m going to use my points to buy seven more places in the safety zone. The quota will increase to 10.”

“Oh!”

Lin Yao’s words shocked the two girls. He thought that they would start cheering, but the two of them spoke loudly at the same time.

“No, three places are enough.”

“Ah Yao, I’m very satisfied with saving my mother, and you have done enough.”

Lin Yao felt warm inside upon hearing their response. Although he was willing to help the two girls who had been taking care of him, their relationship could only last long if there was mutual care.

Of course, they wanted the places in the safety zone, as they represented their family’s chances of survival. However, they also cared about Lin Yao and were worried that Lin Yao would be in a difficult position, so they reluctantly rejected his offer.

In response, Lin Yao smiled. “Alright, don’t reject my offer. Do you think it is difficult for me to earn points?”

“Of course it’s…”

Initially, they wanted to say that it was definitely a difficult task. Given that their family members’ safety could not be guaranteed, they paid a lot of attention to the points, which could help them even when they were not with them. However, the more they learned about the system, the more they understood the difficulty of earning points. One had to risk one’s life to earn them.

Those who were not warlords were not even qualified to risk their lives for points.

However, they were also reminded of what Lin Yao had accomplished just now. Other people might find the task very difficult, but Lin Yao had only spent a few minutes to solve the problem. He had spent most of his time on the journey, and it had only taken him one minute to complete the task.

After completing the task, Lin Yao had earned 3,000 points and 3,000 merit points within one minute. It was a total of 6,000 points. These merit points could be exchanged for a place in the safety zone of Tianhai City, and they would still have some points left.

“Ah Yao, you earned a place in the safety zone within a few minutes. I love you!”

“Ha ha, I still remember the fear that you felt just now.”

The sisters could tell from Lin Yao’s tone that he was teasing them. They had the same expression as they looked at each other and spoke shyly.

“That’s our fault. Tonight, we will accept any punishment you give us in the room.”

The voices of the two women became softer and softer, and in the end, they were so soft that it was almost impossible to hear them. Lin Yao, who was flying in the air and enjoying the cool breeze, felt hot inside as he thought of the similar beautiful faces of the two girls.

“That’s a deal. I will make sure to punish both of you.”

“Humph!”

As soon as he said these words, he heard several cold snorts come from the earphones. Those were the voices of Qin Xue and Yan Yu’er, and Lin Yao coughed in embarrassment upon hearing their reactions.

“Cough, cough. I mean…”

He started explaining, but Qin Xue and Yan Yu’er did not listen to his explanation at all. The two of them looked at Yin Yin and Yin Meng and congratulated them.

Of course, the thin-skinned girls were not congratulating them for what would happen at night. They were congratulating the twin sisters for getting extra places.

“Congratulations, your family will be fine.”

“Thank you, your family will be fine as well. We will all be fine.”

“Of course we will be fine.” Lin Yao thought of something and quickly recovered from the embarrassment and told the two girls, “Yin Yin, Yin Meng, you two are not the only people who have places in the safety zone. Qin Xue, Yu’er, Qi Qing, each of you will get 10 places as well… Oh, and Qin Ya too. You will also get about 10 to 20 places.”

Out of all of them, Qin Ya had the most distant relationship with him. However, she had the strongest ability among them, so she had earned the most places.

After learning that she had some places in the safety zone as well, Yu’er wanted to refuse, but before they could speak, Lin Yao continued.

“Since your lord is giving them to you, just take them. Otherwise, it will be akin to looking down on me.”

Yu’er laughed at his words. “Yes, Lord!”

Lin Yao distributed a total of 70 places in the safety zone. Although Ninghai City took up the bulk of these places, each place only required 1,000 points. However, this was still a significant amount.

In particular, Lin Yao was also planning to give some places to his family. Therefore, he was under pressure to earn more points.

However, Lin Yao had sorted out his thoughts about shouldering this burden and was also capable of taking on these responsibilities.

‘The stronger the ability, the more the benefits, but the greater the responsibility.

‘I have received a huge amount of benefits because of my strong talents. My family has spent more than 10 years of savings on me (to buy the Fruit of Light), businessmen have invested money on me, and the country has invested resources to groom me. Now that I have the ability, it’s time to repay them.

‘The first step starts with the girls next to me. They take care of me, and I will take care of their families!’

Soon, Qin Ya selected a new task for Lin Yao. Knowing that Lin Yao was very fast at searching, she focused on looking for beasts and monsters that were good at hiding.

Lin Yao was very happy with this arrangement. Since such monsters were hard to find, if they were left roaming around, people who lived nearby would be constantly living in fear. Besides, the country awarded many points for completing such tasks.

More importantly, if Lin Yao slew monsters that posed a threat to humans, not only could he earn points from the Adventurers Association and merit points from the military, but he could also gain energy value!
