reborn as a system

Untitled Part 35

Note: For those that read early, I made a slight change to the 'title' of the random task at the end of the previous chapter. It now says:

"Random task triggered: Are Save Points accessed by life-saving drives issued to hosts?"

Random task?

Shi Qing rapidly searched for any pertinent information in his brain. Even more than just recalling it, once he thought of it, he was immediately excited!

Heavens! They actually triggered a random task that could be discovered but not sought!

There was a full page in the handbook that went into great detail on random tasks.

In random tasks, the requirements, time, and location to trigger them were all unknown. There was no way to test it out, but as long as one was triggered, the task could immediately be carried out. That was regardless of whether they were in the real world, in other planes (small worlds), or in the system space—it did not matter. After accepting the task, their current location would remain static. Once the task was completed, they would once again return to that specific point in time.

Whether or not to accept random tasks completely depended on the wishes of the system and the host. In that case, the system had priority. If it did not want to accept the random task, it could immediately choose to shoot the idea down. If the system chose to proceed, then the host had the final decision and could determine whether to accept or not.

According to the information in the handbook, if the host and their system did not accept the task and if they were not enemies, then they were absolute morons.

That was because there was no penalty for failing a random task!

Not only was there no penalty, there was even a guaranteed prize: 500 points no matter what. Although it was not much, every point gained was precious. Even if the task was super-difficult, there was no need to fear. If the mission was failed, the worst that could happen was that they would still receive the 500 points.

If they were fortunate enough to succeed, it would be wonderful. Not only would it be possible to receive a reward of 3000 to 10000 points (by random draw), they would also receive a random reward! There was no limit on the type of reward. It could be a valuable item worth tens of millions of points in the system store, or magical items that were not even available in the system store. Of course, there was always the chance that their luck was poor and they would only receive cheap goods.

Even if it was cheap goods, that did not matter. It was free of charge and the main point was, that there was a high probability that it would be an item of the highest quality!

In short, the random task was like an auspicious sign that descended from heaven. They only needed a bit of luck for things to go well.

One could say, once again, the system and host that chose not to accept were completely brainless.

Shi Qing had just gone over that information in his mind when a voice actually began to count down within his head.

"Ten, nine, eight, seven..."

Shi Qing's heart was tense, afraid that if they did not grab the opportunity it would fly away like a startled duck. He hurriedly chose to accept the task. Immediately afterwards a dialogue box popped up that seemed to be issued to Qin Mo.

Shi Qing was concerned that Qin Mo did not know the benefits of random tasks, so he had quickly included the details along with the dialogue box.

As a result, a large block of information appeared within Qin Mo's mind. It introduced the benefits of random tasks in great detail and with an enthusiastic tone. Not only that, it implored him, again and again, that he must accept.
