Chapter 3: Newbie Mission: The Standard to Be a Prodigal
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Ye Xuan was stunned. He thought that he had hallucinations at first, but then he felt overjoy later.
As a reborn time traveler, how could he not have a plug-in? He was even depressed because of this for a long time. Ye Xuan couldn't help but mutter, "System, what took you so long to appear?"
[I was already activated, but the host's life was in danger and I had to resort to emergency measures. That's why I'm only turned on now.]
Ye Xuan thought back carefully. This sound did appear in his mind when he had lost consciousness, but he thought he had heard wrong. It seemed that his reborn was the work of the system.
"I see, but what does this 'Be Prodigal To Become Stronger' mean?"
[It's very simple. In the modern city, be prodigal means spending money or squandering. In the fantasy world, be prodigal is naturally spending spirit stones. As long as you keep squandering, you can become stronger!]
Spending money to become stronger, was there such a good thing?
Whether it was in Ye Xuan past life or this life, as a rich second generation, he couldn't do anything. However, he was the best at spending money.
"I'm familiar with being prodigal."
[Name: Ye Xuan (a name not to be underestimated in fantasy novels)]
[Age: 20 (fortunately, you still have time to work hard)]
[Stage: Level 2 Human Realm (created by heavenly and earthly treasures)]
[Physique: Trash (the worst trash in the world)]
[Cultivation technique: None (work hard, young man. The more you squander, the more you'll have)]
[Item: None (good luck young man, you'll get everything if you squander more)]
[Prodigal Points: 0 (host, you're so weak. How dare you claim that you're a second-generation prodigal)]
A transparent panel appeared in front of Ye Xuan's eyes. It was similar to the online games he had played in his previous life. It was his personal attributes, and he could clearly understand his current situation at a glance.
He looked at the words in the brackets in awkward. The words were deliberately in bold and marked red, as if the system was afraid that he couldn't see them. It was simply a mockery of him.
"System, what do you mean by those words in brackets?"
[I meant it literally. Did I hit the host's sore spot?]
Ye Xuan couldn't be bothered to argue with it. He found that there was a prodigal point in the last row.
"What do you mean by prodigal points? Isn't it something that can be obtained by spending spirit stones?"
[Host, do you really think it's that easy to squander?]
[A friendly reminder: The system provides the current world's currency limitlessly. Please grasp the scale of squandering. Spending less is not considered squandering, but spending more is a big cash cow. Only the right amount of squandering, spending spiritual stones and currency, can be counted as prodigal points.]
After Ye Xuan saw the rules clearly, he was immediately a little disappointed. He thought that as long as he found a place to buy a lot and pick the expensive ones, he would be considered a prodigal. It turned out that there were so many tricks to it.
As he had said, there was no such thing as a free lunch. He couldn't help but sigh, "It seems that it's not easy to squander these days. I have to squander with certain standard."
[You can get a certain amount of prodigal points or system items by completing the random mission issued by the system. If you fail the mission, you will lose a certain amount of prodigal points.]
[You will also get prodigal points if you squander away your daily products. Otherwise, the corresponding prodigal points will be deducted.]
[The prodigal points can be used to increase the host's realm, skill proficiency, and exchange for various props and items. For more information, please explore it yourself.]
The continuous beeps in Ye Xuan's head made him realize the importance of the prodigal points.
The system had set up many rules, but they all revolved around squandering. It was not easy to squander, or else it would be too easy for others to take advantage of the loopholes.
Although the prodigal points would be deducted every now and then, it should not be too difficult for him to earn the points as long as he avoided the traps and completed his tasks well.
"Squander" sounded very simple, but if it was another matter to implement it according to the system's rules.
[Newbie mission: Consume one million spirit stones and receive a newbie gift bag. No penalty for failure. Mission time limit: 3 days.]
Before Ye Xuan could figure it out completely, the mission already appeared. Fortunately, the system still had some humanity and there was no punishment in failing the mission.
However, where could he go to spend a million spirit stones now?
"Young master, Qingcheng is right in front of us. Why don't we take a break there before continuing our journey?"
Uncle Sun's voice pulled Ye Xuan back from his thoughts.
Unknowingly, they had already been on the road for more than half a day. In addition to the fact that they had been avoiding the bandits non-stop, both Uncle Sun and the horses were somewhat tired.
If it was in the wilderness, there would definitely be no chance to squander, but there might be a chance in the town.
Thinking of this, Ye Xuan said without hesitation, "Then let's go to Qingcheng and take a look."
Not long after the two entered the town, they saw that the entrance of the inn was packed with people, looking very lively.
The inn was one of the buildings there, and the decorations were quite exquisite. The words "Zui Xian Inn" were written on the antique plaque, and a faint fragrance wafted out from it, tempting people to have a meal inside.
There was a long line at the entrance, but there were only a few people inside. They didn't look like they were eating.
Ye Xuan couldn't help but ask, "What are you all doing?"
The middle-aged man sized Ye Xuan up, "You just entered the town, right?"
Ye Xuan nodded.
"You don't know yet, but today is the day that the fairy takes in disciples. Everyone is waiting."
Only then did Ye Xuan know that not long ago, a mysterious woman had come to Qingcheng and established a sect. Although her strength was unknown, her origin was a mystery. According to the cultivators in the town, she must be a strong expert.
Even though it was a new sect, everyone was still scrambling for it. It could be seen that cultivation was the goal of almost everyone.
Ye Xuan even found low-level cultivators among them, which made him curious. What kind of charm did this woman have? After all, everything was difficult in the beginning, and the newly established sect was not as good as the old sects.
At this moment, someone shouted, "She's here!"
