Chapter 73: Chapter 73: Medium Task – Recommended! Chapter 73: Chapter 73: Medium Task – Recommended! She had been wanting to take on a task, but she never did. It felt like her Golden Pearl Space was going to waste. After getting through this busy period, she must take on a task and get some practice.
“Grandma, Grandpa is the most familiar with the people in the village. Let big brother and you handle it when I draw a rough sketch. Leave the matter of making money to me.”
“Sangsang, let Grandpa and Grandma handle this. I’ll go into the mountains with you,” Lin Changhong furrowed his eyebrows, looking at Lin Caisang as he spoke.
How could he rest easy letting Sangsang go up the mountain alone?
“Big Brother, they might not understand the sketch I’ve drawn. I can’t feel at ease unless you keep an eye on them,” Lin Caisang explained, leaning closer to her brother and lowering her voice.
Just like the wheelchair incident before, Lin Changhong immediately recognized what she had drawn. She wanted to test him again to see if she truly had this talent. If he did, she had to cultivate it extensively.
Hearing what she said, Lin Changhong immediately nodded in agreement.
The matter of the over 300 desolate mountain acres was entrusted to her family, and Lin Caisang still went into the mountains carrying the bamboo basket on her back.
This time, instead of harvesting medicinal herbs, she made sure that no one was around and flashed into the Golden Pearl Space.
After placing the bamboo basket down, she went up to the Jade Mirror.
“Brother Jade Mirror, are there any tasks I can accept recently? I am seriously lacking one thing, it is—money!” She looked at Brother Jade Mirror seriously, and asked.
Without money, she was basically handicapped – she was in such a state now.
Digging just a twenty acres pond is not a simple task. According to her plan, she would need to build some huge waterwheels, and also iron dams that could be used during severe water shortages to irrigate the fields, ensuring a good harvest.
However, the only thing she lacked to build all these was money.
A single word appeared in the Jade Mirror. Soon, many words appeared.
Lin Caisang carefully checked. Three tasks were displayed in the Jade Mirror, categorized as high-level, medium-level, and low-level tasks. As the names implied, the high-level task was likely the hardest.
After the medium-level task, two words were written in brackets—recommended!
“Brother Jade Mirror, do you mean that the medium-level task gives the most money?” Lin Caisang asked.
Since she said she needed money, the recommended task must be the one that paid the most, right? She should accept this task, right?
As expected, the Jade Mirror showed the word ‘Yes’.
“Doesn’t the high-level task have money? Shouldn’t it be that the harder the task, the more money you earn?” she asked.
‘The high-level task rewards more points upon completion but is time-consuming. Most people in a town north of Qianlin County are sick, and the authorities reward a thousand taels of gold for the cure. Are you sure you want to accept this high-level task?’
Two lines of words appeared again in the Jade Mirror.
‘If you want to accept the high-level task, please let Jade Mirror serve you.’
As she looked at the words on the Jade Mirror, Lin Caisang gave a flickering glance.
Most of the people in a town are sick, would it be an epidemic, or were they poisoned slowly by someone? But can all the people in a town offend someone to such an extent where they want to poison and kill so many people?
It shouldn’t be like that, right?
“Brother Jade Mirror, I have a question. If I accept this high-level task, can I still accept other tasks without completing it? Like, that medium-level task?”
With so many people sick, if she didn’t treat them, that wouldn’t be right, right? But if she accepted it and couldn’t complete the task for a while, she would be at a loss. The money wouldn’t be received, what would she use to pay for the workers?
The Jade Mirror replied with two words.
“Then if I first accept the medium-level task, will this high-level task still be available after I complete it?” Lin Caisang asked again.
‘If no one can heal them, the task will always be there, until all the patients die.’ The Jade Mirror replied.
Brother Jade Mirror, I know you don’t have any emotions. But can you please never use the words ‘die out’ again? It gives her the creeps.
“Let’s first accept the medium-level task.”
She rubbed the goosebumps on her face with her hand and spoke.
‘Alright, Master.’ Four characters appeared in the Jade Mirror.
The next moment, a vortex as tall as a person emerged beside the Jade Mirror, and it directly sucked Lin Caisang in.
