"It's time to distribute the points."
Jiang Chen opened his task points panel.
[Current Points:]
[Public Points:]
20% of the points from team kills would be added to the public points pool.
These points were available for distribution.
"You two take half each of the public points. You've worked hard on this task," Jiang Chen said, just as he was about to distribute the points.
"Brother Mortal World, wait," Qing Ying's voice rang out.
"Hmm?" Jiang Chen looked over.
He saw the two girls whispering to each other.
While he was still puzzled, they seemed to have reached a consensus. Qing Ying spoke up, "Brother Mortal World, we think we should give a share to 'Moonlit Dance' as well."
"After all, when the monsters in the Gate of Sealing rioted, she stayed behind. Xiao Yao and I used the Teleportation Stone to escape."
After Qing Ying finished speaking, Tao Xiaoyao nodded in agreement. "Yeah, otherwise, if it had been me or Sister Qing Ying who stayed behind, we might have died once already."
The two girls looked at Jiang Chen with hopeful eyes.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Jiang Chen was speechless. Why did they make him look like the bad guy?
"I just forgot about it. Anyway, the points are yours. You can distribute them however you want," he said, handing the team leader role to Qing Ying.
Only the team leader had the authority to distribute public points.
"I got it," Qing Ying nodded.
Before long, Jiang Chen saw Moonlit Dance join the team.
Text messages appeared in the team chat.
[Moonlit Dance: Why did you pull me into the team?]
[Qing Ying: There are over 30,000 public points left. Let's split them among the three of us.]
[Moonlit Dance: Do you really want to give me a share? I didn't do anything. You guys take it.]
[Tao Xiaoyao: You should take a share. Otherwise, Sister Qing Ying and I would feel bad. Just take a bit, okay?]
...
Seeing the girls still arguing, Jiang Chen finally couldn't hold back.
[Mortal World: Stop wasting time. The task rewards are about to be given out.]
The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.
As soon as the message was sent, the team chat fell silent.
The girls seemed to have gone to private chat.
After a few seconds, Jiang Chen saw the public points drop by 10,000, seemingly given directly to Moonlit Dance. Then, the remaining points were halved and quickly reached zero!
Two minutes later, the system prompt appeared.
[Announcement: The task points leaderboard and task points exchange shop are now open. All players who participated in the task can view and exchange items. Time limit: 10 minutes.]
All players who participated in the server-wide task received this announcement.
At the same time, a [Server-wide Task Points Leaderboard] and [Limited-Time Exchange Shop] appeared on everyone's interface.
Jiang Chen focused and immediately opened the points leaderboard.
Mortal World:
Qing Ying:
Tao Xiaoyao:
Moonlit Dance:
Domineering Madman: 8255
Last Night's Star: 4850
...
Jiang Chen wasn't surprised to see himself far ahead in points.
However...
The guild leader of Kingdom of Heaven, Domineering Madman, had also accumulated a significant number of points?
It was known that a common monster only gave 10 points.
Silver-level and gold-level elite monsters gave 60 and 150 points respectively.
As for bosses, bronze-level ones gave only 1000 points.
Jiang Chen had killed all the silver-level and gold-level bosses himself.
So, seeing Domineering Madman with so many points was unexpected.
And Last Night's Star, Jiang Chen had an impression of him too.
"Domineering Madman and Last Night's Star both used Demon Suppression Shards at the time, but they seemed to have left early," Jiang Chen murmured to himself. "So they went off to quietly make a fortune?"
At this moment, other players who participated in the server-wide task were stunned by Jiang Chen's points.
"130,000 points... Does he have most of the server's task points?"
"Is this a data error?"
"You know nothing, that's God Chen!"
"So what if he's God Chen? Is he a deity? I killed dozens of monsters and only got over 500 points. Why does he have so many?"
"Have you ever seen God Chen farm mobs? He wipes out entire areas in seconds. You're nothing compared to him."
"Yeah, why are you so sour? Without God Chen, we wouldn't have completed the server-wide task."
...
Many players were discussing and even arguing.
"Stop arguing and exchange your rewards quickly. Damn, I see something good!" someone suddenly shouted.
The crowd's chatter quieted down significantly.
Most people hurried to check the rewards.
Jiang Chen also opened the [Exchange Shop].
It was divided into various sections.
Gold Coins Section:
[1 Gold Coin: 10 Points. (Unlimited)]
Attributes Section:
[Attribute Pill: 10 Points. (Limited: 1)]
[Attribute Pill: 1000 Points. (Limited: 9)]
Recovery Items Section:
[Special Life Potion: 100 Points. (Unlimited)]
...
Special Items Section:
[Skill Divine Stone (One-Star): 500 Points. (Limited: 10)]
[Basic Teleportation Stone: 1000 Points. (Unlimited)]
Equipment Section (Limited to one piece):
[Bronze-Level Equipment (Random): 50 Points.]
[Silver-Level Equipment (Random): 500 Points.]
[Gold-Level Equipment (Random): 5000 Points.]
[Platinum-Level Equipment (Random): Points.]
Skills Section (Limited to one book):
[Sealed Skill Book (One-Star): 100 Points.]
[Sealed Skill Book (Two-Star): 1000 Points.]
[Sealed Skill Book (Three-Star): Points.]
[Sealed Skill Book (Four-Star): Points.]
...
After scanning through, Jiang Chen roughly understood what was available for purchase.
"Brother Mortal World, there are so many items here. I can't decide what to choose," Qing Ying's voice sounded.
"Buy all the Attribute Pills. They're rare. Then get skill books and equipment," Jiang Chen instructed, spending 9010 points to buy all 10 Attribute Pills.
[Attribute Pill: Permanently +1 to all four attributes.]
For most players, that single 10-point Attribute Pill was the biggest benefit of this task!
"Although equipment is valuable, skill books are even more precious. 100,000 points for a four-star skill book is worth it!"
"Buy all the Skill Divine Stones too, 5000 points."
"With the remaining points, get a gold-level piece of equipment and three Teleportation Stones. Convert the rest to gold coins!"
Jiang Chen quickly spent all his 130,000+ points!
[You have obtained Attribute Pill ×10!]
[You have obtained Sealed Skill Book (Four-Star)!]
[You have obtained Skill Divine Stone (One-Star) ×10!]
[You have obtained Pioneer Robe (Gold-Level)!]
[You have obtained Basic Teleportation Stone ×3!]
[You have obtained 1207 Gold Coins!]
Then, Jiang Chen consumed all 10 Attribute Pills.
Constitution: 48 (↑10)
Strength: 48 (↑10)
Agility: 48 (↑10)
Intelligence: 240 (↑10)
"The server-wide task is successfully completed!"
Satisfied with his panel, Jiang Chen looked at the two girls. "Have you finished shopping?"
"I'm done. I got 10 Attribute Pills, a two-star skill book, a piece of silver-level equipment, and some random stuff," Qing Ying said happily.
"Me too," Tao Xiaoyao nodded.
"Brother Mortal World, what are we doing next? Leveling?" Qing Ying asked Jiang Chen excitedly.
She felt incredibly strong now!
"Let's head back to the main city first. There's still work to do," Jiang Chen replied after some thought.
"Oh, right. We have to cross the Death Desert to get back. Such a hassle!" Qing Ying's excitement deflated.
"I bought this!" Jiang Chen smiled, taking out the Teleportation Stones and trading one to each girl.
"Great!" Qing Ying's excitement returned.
Then, the three of them used the Teleportation Stones together.
After a 10-second casting time, they disappeared from their original location.
[You have been teleported to Leaving Fire City!]
Jiang Chen's vision blurred, and he and the two girls arrived at the main city's teleportation array in Leaving Fire City.
"Let's head to the main city's mansion. We can't forget Old Flame's compensation!" Jiang Chen said, leading Qing Ying and Tao Xiaoyao towards the mansion.
As they reached the mansion's entrance, the guards, who usually stood like statues and ignored everyone, suddenly saluted Jiang Chen in unison, "Greetings, Holy Envoy!"
For a moment, many players who had just arrived at the main city looked over in surprise and curiosity.
