Chapter 153: Chapter 130: Beginner Task, Defend the Ancient Temple Star!

"Besides... there are also elementary tasks, intermediate tasks, and advanced tasks within the basic tasks."

"The credit rewards for these tasks are very generous, but they do have certain strength requirements."

Zhang Lei continued to explain to Lu Sheng.

"Elementary tasks are generally for fourth-tier seniors, typically those in the late stage of the fourth tier. As for the intermediate tasks, they require the ability of fifth-tier seniors."

"As for advanced tasks... they need fifth-tier peak seniors equipped with a Giant Divine Soldier or sixth-tier seniors to complete."

"In short, tasks above the basic level are quite difficult. They might involve rescuing planets occupied by other cosmic forces or scouting frontline enemy situations. In any case, these tasks are not something that our newly promoted fourth-tier individuals can handle."

"Of course, the rewards for these tasks are extremely generous. Even the elementary task rewards can range from a few hundred to thousands of credits."

Zhang Lei said with a smile.

Lu Sheng nodded thoughtfully, recalling Du Bai.

He remembered seeing Du Bai looking ragged and not in the Star River Star System, but rather in the Celestial Mist Star System.

"Perhaps, Senior Brother Du Bai was completing an elementary task at that time!"

Lu Sheng thought to himself.

"Alright, that late-stage fourth-tier senior has sent me a message. Let’s go and meet up!"

At this moment, Zhang Lei glanced at his communication bracelet and said to Lu Sheng.

The three of them then went to find the late-stage fourth-tier senior leading the team.

After reassembling the team and linking up the team communication, they set off.

The escort task wasn’t very difficult. After all, Cyan Wood Star is within the range of the Life Factions, with the seventh-tier Transcendent Gumo overseeing it. So there were no hostile forces daring to encroach on Life Factions’ territory.

However... due to escorting resources like ’Cyan Spirit Wood’, the speed of the third-tier escort ship used wasn’t very fast. Its main advantage was its large capacity to accommodate many items.

As a result, it took Lu Sheng three days to complete this task.

After submitting the task, Lu Sheng received a reward of thirty credits.

"At this rate, it’s not going to work!"

Lu Sheng rubbed his temples. Three days for just thirty credits — when would he be able to buy all the cultivation resources he needed?

Not to mention the need to purchase courses.

Credits were really too few.

"Elementary tasks..."

Lu Sheng recalled Zhang Lei’s words and fell into deep thought.

"According to Senior Brother Zhang Lei, elementary tasks are prepared for late-stage fourth-tier seniors. Although I’m just in the early stage of the fourth tier, I achieved it through a Perfect True Martial Body, stepping into the Golden Body."

"Even if I were to fight a mid-stage fourth-tier Martial Artist, I am confident I could defeat them."

After pondering for a moment, Lu Sheng searched for elementary tasks within the Life Factions’ internal network.

"Elementary task: Suspected infiltration of hostile forces of the Human Federation on Black Dragon Star. Only late-stage fourth-tier peak individuals can accept. Task reward: 1200 credits!"

"Elementary task: Escort battlefield resources to Frontline Battlefield Shelter No. 986. Only late-stage fourth-tier peak individuals can accept. Task reward: 1300 credits!"

"Elementary task: Guard Frontline Battlefield Shelter No. 2546 for a year. Requires a peak fourth-tier Transcendent! Task reward: 3400 credits!"

"..."

Looking at the series of elementary tasks, Lu Sheng fell into contemplation.

"Most elementary tasks require late-stage fourth-tier strength to accept, and their danger levels are high, though the rewards are very substantial."

"But taking risks isn’t really in my best interest. With the system panel, I can steadily improve. Even if the progress is slower, I am improving daily."

"It’s best to choose some not-so-dangerous elementary tasks. Although the rewards are less compared to high-risk tasks, it’s still much better than basic tasks."

"Considering everything, there’s only one type of elementary task that suits me!"

Lu Sheng said, his gaze shifting to the task category column.

Guardian tasks!

Guardian tasks also come in various situations, such as guarding a frontline position, key resource locations, or planets with large populations.

Within the Life Factions, unlike the rear, each major planet is highly autonomous. The Human Federation doesn’t send people to guard important locations for the Life Factions. As one of the Three Major Star Systems at the front, Star River University is tasked with resisting other cosmic forces.

And the planets occupied by each faction require the factions to send people to guard.

"Guarding positions is still too dangerous, so what suits me is guarding resource-producing planets or planets with large populations."

Lu Sheng quickly thought through this and continued searching through the guardian-type elementary tasks.

"This is the one!"

Soon, Lu Sheng made up his mind.

"Elementary task: Guard the important resource site in the Desolate Desert of Ancient Temple Star for one year! Task reward: 1000 credits!"

Ancient Temple Star is one of the desolate planets within the dozens of planets in the Life Factions’ domain, yet it has significant resource output, so it requires annual guards.

"A thousand credits may be low, but for me, it’s just like changing my cultivation location. In a year, I would have earned a thousand credits."

Lu Sheng smiled slightly and then clicked on the detailed introduction of the task.

"Ancient Temple Star resource point, combined with a fourth-tier Upper-Grade Spiritual Qi Array, the guardian can cultivate using the array. Due to the special nature of Ancient Temple Star, it has a very efficient effect for those with the Five Elements Realm and Life and Death Realm. There’s a chance to comprehend the Domain of Five Elements Realm and Domain of Life and Death Realm!"

"Task requirement: Martial Artists above mid-stage fourth tier, limited to those of the Ancient Martial System, with preference to those mastering Five Elements Realm and Life and Death Realm!"

Reading the detailed task introduction, Lu Sheng was somewhat surprised.

"It’s actually a fourth-tier Upper-Grade Spiritual Qi Array? The residence I’m in now only has a fourth-tier Lower-Grade Spiritual Qi Array!"

Seeing this, Lu Sheng was tempted. As a fourth-tier freshman joining the Life Factions, he was provided with a fourth-tier Lower-Grade Spiritual Qi Array. If he wanted to upgrade to the upper-grade one, it would cost 200 credits annually.

If he accepted this task, he would save the fixed expense of 200 credits annually!
