Chapter 1365: Chapter 1365: Theoretically Speaking?

"How do I accept the virtual tasks in the Golden Pearl Space?" she asked.

’Virtual tasks: freely determined by the Golden Pearl Space, these tasks are not bound by time or space, and both the master and helpers can emerge unscathed. However, the tasks are not limited to any particular type, and the master will not know the level of danger associated with a task when accepting it.’

"Wait a minute."

Lin Caisang raised her hand, her gaze fixed steadfastly on Brother Jade Mirror.

"Brother Jade Mirror, let’s get this clear, okay? If you can come out unharmed, then what exactly does ’danger level of a task’ mean? Huh?"

She questioned.

An unscathed task, yet there is still danger?

She was perplexed; wasn’t this a contradiction? No matter how dangerous the task, even if you die while performing it, you could still come back to life, couldn’t you? Is that the point?

’Naturally, tasks have their dangers, such as race-based tasks, which could involve the Demon Clan, Ghost Clan, Ling Clan...’

Lin Caisang: "..."

These tasks must be specially set for her by the command of the Golden Pearl, right?

They knew full well that she wasn’t afraid of anything growing up except for these odd and frightening things, and yet they still assigned her such tasks!

"Continue," she said.

To obtain the spiritual cultivation secret manual, what was it to brave the places she dreaded?

’The danger of virtual tasks is only in relation to the master’s mental shadows. If the master can’t bear it, then the task is deemed a failure. Of course, if the virtual task is completed, one merit point is earned, but if it fails, a point is deducted from your merit points.

Hence, dear master, please think thrice before acting and consider the likelihood of completing the task.’

Lin Caisang: "!!!"

Deducting points, too?

Alright, she could tolerate that as well; it’s not like she could reap all the benefits, right?

Even though she felt this was a bit of a raw deal, what could she do about it? Just keep going and see.

"Fine!"

She gritted her teeth, looking at Brother Jade Mirror.

"So, this so-called helper, who is it? Is it someone virtual provided by the Golden Pearl Space?" she asked.

’The master may choose to bring a helper into the virtual task; of course, you may also choose not to. However, bringing a helper into the virtual task increases its danger.

But if the master completes the task with a helper, the helper can also gain a merit point.’

Brother Jade Mirror explained.

Upon reading the last sentence, Lin Caisang couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.

"So you’re saying, if I take someone with me on a task, we can get two merit points, right?" she asked.

In that case, she could achieve twice as much with half the effort. Moreover, having someone by her side meant she didn’t have to be scared and could draw some courage from their presence.

Such a good deal!

’Wrong!’

A large ’WRONG’ appeared on the Jade Mirror and then disappeared, replaced by a dense array of characters filling the mirror.

’As the master, you can only receive one merit point; the other point belongs to your helper. This means that if they accumulate enough merit points, in theory, they too could enter the Golden Pearl Pavilion to uncover the mysteries they seek to understand.’

"In theory?"

Lin Caisang paid no attention to the rest, her focus solely on the words ’in theory.’

What does it mean ’in theory’? Does it imply that in reality, these merit points are just a sham, incapable of allowing the person helping her to enter the Golden Pearl Pavilion?

Is that the right interpretation?
