Both are good options—just need to check in daily for the tasks.
"If that's the case, doing a few tasks isn’t too bad. There are rewards anyway."
But why does it feel more like playing a game now?
Suppressing the urge to complain, Ye Chuan turned and headed straight for the Adventurer’s Guild. Though he’d only been in town for a day, he still knew the way.
"Though this town really has a lot of beastfolk, huh? Kinda cute." Ye Chuan glanced around, spotting numerous beastfolk—bunny girls, cat girls, even burly lizardmen. But the moment they met his gaze, they seemed to shrink back in fear.
"Why?" From the receptionist’s vague remarks, Ye Chuan gathered that beastfolk weren’t held in high regard here. Or maybe human society just had its prejudices?
Aside from the extra ears or tails, they didn’t seem much different from regular people.
"Move aside! It’s out of control!" A frantic shout suddenly cut through Ye Chuan’s thoughts.
Turning, he saw a runaway carriage barreling down the street—well, not exactly a carriage. A two-meter-tall lizard beast was pulling it, snarling wildly as it sent bystanders scrambling with screams.
And it was charging straight toward him.
"Get out of the way!!!" The man struggling to control the lizard beast yelled when he saw Ye Chuan standing motionless.
Ye Chuan casually raised a hand. "Gravity Field."
An invisible force rippled outward, and the frenzied lizard beast suddenly slowed, as if sinking into quicksand.
With every step, its body grew heavier, its scales straining under immense pressure until its massive frame was utterly pinned to the ground.
"So… heavy…" The man controlling the beast also staggered under the weight, his face twisted in pain.
Seeing this, Ye Chuan immediately released the spell.
Boom! The sudden release of pressure made the lizard beast collapse onto the street, panting heavily, its eyes locked on Ye Chuan with unmistakable fear.
"W-we’re saved." The man exhaled in relief, but then his expression tightened again as he whirled toward the carriage.
"Prin—I mean, Young Mistress! Are you alright?!"
A gentle voice answered from inside, "I’m fine, Torres."
"Thank goodness." The man climbed down, first checking the lizard beast before turning to Ye Chuan.
After a brief appraisal, he bowed deeply.
"Thank you, Mage, for your assistance. This drake is usually so docile—I don’t know what got into it today."
Ye Chuan had acted too swiftly for an ordinary spellcaster, and without even a wand. To the man, he was clearly a high-tier mage.
"Don’t mention it." Ye Chuan extended his hand.
"Money."
Money?
The man blinked, then quickly fished out a small pouch. "Of course. This is all the silver I have on me."
"Mm." Ye Chuan pocketed it and walked off without another word.
"Tch… Well, as long as the Young Mistress is unharmed." The man scratched his head, watching Ye Chuan leave before returning to the carriage. "Young Mistress, I’ll arrange another carriage for you."
The voice inside mused, "That man… he seemed like a very powerful mage."
"Indeed. To cast gravity magic that quickly, he must be at least third-tier or higher."
"No…" A pause. Then, "Torres, how far is the Adventurer’s Guild? I’ll walk the rest of the way."
"It’s close, but Your Hi—"
"Torres."
"Ah! Young Mistress!"
"Let’s walk."
"...As you wish."
Clink. The familiar oak door swung open, carrying the faint scent of alcohol as Ye Chuan stepped back into the Adventurer’s Guild.
"Ah, Mr. Xi!"
The moment he entered, someone called out to him. Turning, he saw Eisien, the half-elf receptionist.
"Hey." Ye Chuan strolled over. "Looking as lovely as ever, miss."
"P-please don’t tease me, Mr. Xi." Eisien pushed up her glasses, her long, pointed ears flushing pink.
Seemingly remembering something important, she added,
"About your last commission… there’s something I need to tell you."
"Oh?" Ye Chuan raised a brow. "Are you docking my pay because I smashed the head too hard? I object."
"N-no, nothing like that!" Eisien quickly pulled out a pouch of silver coins from under the counter.
"We discovered that the Glowspider King is a mutated variant, and its strength far surpasses that of a Silver-tier creature... So according to the Adventurer Guild's regulations, we must provide you with additional rewards for the materials you submitted."
"Oh?" Ye Chuan was surprised. "There's such a good thing?"
He checked the bag of silver coins in his backpack and found it contained over thirty thousand!
"That’s quite a lot. Is this the reward?"
Enough for three thousand succubus therapy sessions, right?
"A good thing?" Eisien didn’t know how to respond. After all, this was a Silver-tier quest. If a Silver-tier party had taken it and encountered a Gold-tier Glowspider King, they’d probably be cursing their luck.
The power gap between each tier was terrifyingly vast, and the Glowspider King was a pack-dwelling monster on top of that.
"Several adventurer parties have already failed in their attempts to subdue the Glowspider King," Eisien explained. "One squad was nearly wiped out."
"Maybe it evolved from devouring too many adventurer corpses?"
"A whole squad wiped out?" Ye Chuan suddenly seemed to recall something.
Could it be Niya...
"Are you here to accept a commission today?" Eisien asked.
"Yes." Ye Chuan mainly wanted to complete his daily quests. After accumulating enough, he could bring someone into the adventurer world—giving him a chance to take Bai Qianshuang back to the Tianxuan Continent for a visit.
"Take a look at these commissions." Eisien began listing them one by one.
Ding. Just as Ye Chuan was scanning the quest board, the oak door behind him creaked open again. A man and a woman stepped inside.
The man was familiar—the same one who had controlled the rampaging lizard beast earlier. Trailing behind him was a woman in an ornate satin gown, her white long hair hidden beneath a hood.
"It’s you? Mage Ye Chuan." The man immediately noticed him.

end. Thus one must continue to cultivate, and become a saint or great emperor, in order to prolong one's life. Chen Xia, however, completely reversed this. Since his transmigration, he has gained immortality, and also a system that awards him with attribute points for every year he lives. Thus between the myriad worlds, the legend of an unparalleled senior appeared. "A gentleman takes revenge; it is never too late even after ten thousand years."

close your eyes and open them again, only to find yourself transmigrated into the role of a villainous male supporting character. Readers familiar with urban wish-fulfillment novels know that it is only through the relentless antics of the villainous male supporting character that the plot between the male and female leads can progress. As the villainous male supporting character, Long Aotian not only has to bully the female lead, harass the second female lead, and flirt with the third female lead, but he also has to go all out to antagonize the male lead. In the end, when his body is discovered, he is still clutching half a moldy fried dough stick in his hand. Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?" In the middle, the female lead treads carefully: "Brother Long, please don't hit me, okay?" Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: "Aotian, it's time to pay the 'public grain' tonight." Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"
ts me of treason?" "Correct. The host must return to the capital and gradually build up influence." "Wait—I have half a million soldiers, and you want me to go back to the capital to 'build influence'?" "Host, you are currently the Northern Garrison General, loyal to the Great Xia Dynasty." "Of course I am loyal to Great Xia! Absolutely loyal!" "But you keep referring to yourself as 'We'..." "Never mind the details! Summon all the regional commanders and military officers! We suspect treacherous officials are manipulating the court! They shall march with Us to the capital and purge the corrupt!" "......"
