Chapter 187 - 187 187 Generous Rewards for the Task_1

Chapter 187: Chapter 187 Generous Rewards for the Task_1 Chapter 187: Chapter 187 Generous Rewards for the Task_1 [Congratulations on completing the task “Support and Repel a Certain Distorted Creature.”]

[The evaluation of this task is: D-.]

“You have obtained ‘Stale, Hard Black Bread*399,’ which has been transferred to your inventory.”

“You have obtained ‘14.34 Bonfire Points,’ which have been transferred to your inventory.”

Glancing at the rewards, Saintess Shana nodded imperceptibly, aware that the rewards for a task she had done last time had been credited.

The task had not been simple, and she had paid a certain price. However, fortunately, the rewards were quite good, several hundred black breads plus a dozen or so points.

“14.34 points…”

Saintess Shana skillfully opened the [Shop], where there were three items for sale, with black bread in the two front rows. However, the one at the back had a “Stale, Hard” prefix.

In terms of price, the former was three for one point, and the latter was over thirty for one point…

Besides black bread, there was also “Pure Water,” roughly one ton for three points.

“I’m not in desperate need of water right now.”

After pondering for a moment and realizing she wasn’t currently short on water, she spent all her points on “Stale, Hard Black Bread.”

Then, in a flash, she appeared in the ruins some distance away, unnoticed in the process of leaving, as everyone saw her as still standing there, shining.

Arriving in the ruins, she took out a large amount of black bread and, uncaring about her image, embraced them in her arms, looking for suitable places to hide them within the wreckage.

Just as she had finished, she suddenly felt something and took out a piece of parchment.

[Special Summoning Task “Request from an Unknown Land.”]

[Task Requirement: Use a clone to provide Purification assistance to some Bonfire members. Ensure they remain uncontaminated for a certain period, with the task duration subject to specific conditions.]

[Task Rewards: “Bonfire Points*50,” “Stale, Hard Black Bread*999.”]

“Huh, a fifty-point task? That much…”

Surprised by the task, she didn’t hesitate and immediately accepted it—

Since she had started handling these parchments, it was rare to see one offering such rich rewards.

Moreover, she wasn’t worried that the tasks posed any danger to herself, as she and the previous generations of Saints could confirm that the tasks were generally not beyond their capabilities.

At that moment, in front of her, a heart-pounding grey fog appeared, and within the fog surfaced a bubble emanating light from within.

From the surface of the bubble, one could glimpse a strange world covered in yellow.

Without much hesitation, she raised her hand and conjured a ball of light, tossing it towards the bubble.

During this process, the ball of light swiftly transformed and stretched, taking on a roughly human shape, and plunged into it.

Then, she faintly “saw” through the haze, fifteen figures.

…

It was also at this moment that a caption appeared in the eyes of all those present, including non-Bonfire Company personnel like Qin Chuan.

[Supporter, Special F Level Employee “The Light Chaser” is about to arrive.]

“Supporter?” A group of people sitting dazed on the ground were momentarily bemused, not quite understanding the meaning.

“The Light Chaser? He’s not dead?”

Colin recalled the name and remembered the exceptionally special employee summoned that day in “Passionate Paradise,” a man whose strength was terrifying enough to confront the “Formless Mother” head-on!

Although it seemed like he fought for only a very short time before vanishing, Colin had always thought he was a goner after that.

He didn’t expect to still be alive…

Then again, only such a big shot would dare to accept the “support mission” that employees spoke of with fear, and although he didn’t know how the other party eventually got away from “Passionate Paradise,” the moment he saw him appear, Colin felt somewhat reassured, and he straightened up.

It was then that he saw “The Light Chaser” appear, wave his hand, and a dozen orbs of light flew towards them, then melted into their bodies like snowflakes.

In an instant, that strong sense of decay and fatigue dissipated rapidly like a sandcastle meeting water.

From everyone’s body, wisps of dim light evaporated and disappeared.

However, after taking this step, “The Light Chaser” did not continue to act, but simply floated in mid-air, as if in a daze.

“Don’t be in a hurry to move, wait until that thing outside leaves…” Qin Chuan said.

He was a bit afraid that acting rashly now would cause that thing outside to cast its gaze this way.

But it was very clear that the terrifying creature didn’t care about anything that was happening here, It didn’t care what came or what It killed in the process of Its activity.

It just moved away slowly with one palm after another towards a certain direction.

After It left, the dusk light around them faded rapidly, and in the distant sky visible to the eye, a black curtain was arriving bit by bit with the disappearance of the dusk.

It probably won’t be long before darkness falls here.

“It seems we should be safe now…”

After saying this, Qin Chuan quickly got up and ran towards the middle-aged man, then saw that, during this time, there wasn’t even a trace of warmth left on the corpse.

“The robots, they seem to be all wrecked…” came the voice of an armed individual.

Colin followed the gaze and saw that even after dusk, there was no sign of life in those robots.

“Ah, let it be if they are wrecked,” Qin Chuan on the other side sighed, put away the parchment, and turned his head to look at the glowing, gender-indistinct vague figure, “Sorry for the delay, are you… a supporter from ‘Bonfire Company’?”

The information previously displayed on their retinas informed them that this person should be “one of our own,” so there was not much hostility.

However, faced with his question, this “one of our own” did not respond at all but seemed to notice something and turned to look in the direction beside him.

Qin Chuan turned his head and saw that the “supporter” was looking at Colin.

He frowned, remembering Colin’s previous abnormal behavior. The tremendous power could be explained by the adrenaline rush in a life-or-death situation, but how did Colin detect the underground attack first?

The Transcendent “Fate Propeller” explanation could be due to the influence of that Ninth Level Big Shot, allowing him to temporarily possess the corresponding power, and it is indeed possible for someone with high inspiration to experience this.

However, Qin Chuan always felt there was something far-fetched about this explanation…

As thoughts flashed through his mind, he paid a little more attention and then asked Colin, “He seems to be from Bonfire Company, do you know him?”

“I’ve just joined Bonfire Company, how could I know anyone inside?”

Colin decisively shook his head, feeling unnerved under the other’s gaze, and touched the goosebumps on his hand. He was equally puzzled as he looked towards the glowing figure and decided to try and see if he could communicate with him.
