Chapter 80: The Way To Riches
F***! Boss Chu was rich!
Many looked at the bags with popped-out eyes.
Before Chu Che left for his mission, they knew the rewards.
It sounded too good to be accurate and seemed like it would keep them away from the Gaming Hall for too long.
So many just brushed it off.
But now, seeing that Boss Chu had teleported right back and even got bags of money, they felt like they had finally found a way to support themselves while spending so much in the gaming hall.
Of course, they could always kill random beasts and collect their cores for money each time.
But they thought that this was the shorter and fastest way.
Many, if not all, can only kill Grade-1 beasts at most... With a few daring to kill Grade-2 beasts.
Unless they were similar in strength to Old Fru, they couldn't attempt defeating a Grade-3 beast.
10 Grade-1 beasts give 20 gold coins, close to what they spent in a day at the gaming hall.
They could spend a maximum of 6 hours playing daily, with each hour costing 3 gold coins—not silver, but gold.
So, in a day, they spent 18 gold coins (180,000 silver coins)
And that was 126 gold coins (or 1.26 million silver coins) in a week.
But here was the thing.
Even though 10 grade-1 beasts could sell for 20 gold coins, for them, it would take 2~3 days to kill that many beasts at once.
So they might spend 2 weeks or more hunting in the forest constantly.
Many had planned only to do this when they ran out.
They planned to dedicate the time to hunting before returning and gaming for a week.
That's right.
126 gold coins were what they needed for an entire week.
Of course, to make things easier for themselves and to keep them around the Gaming Hall more often, many still chose to hunt every day once they finished their gaming session.
At first, they thought this was the fastest way to make money.
Earlier, they thought they would have to go out on missions for months or something, just like official sect members typically did.
Again, coupled with their low cultivation, even traveling far should take days and weeks.
At least, many thought it wasn't better than hunting beast cores around the outskirts of the forest.
With their lowly strength, they dared not go too deep in.
.
Seeing how Chu Che carried out his missions, they felt it might be the fastest way to rack up enough money.
Rather than hunting daily or taking out 2 or more weeks to hunt constantly, is it better to take up missions and finish up the takes in a matter of days rather than weeks?
Thinking about it like that, they appreciated the Mission Hall even more.
Of course, everything depended on the mission class they took.
If they were E-class taskers, they might only get rewarded 2 gold coins (20,000 silver coins) per item.
But the good thing was that such tasks should take less time.
By the end of the day, they can take four or five more missions simultaneously.
Many were already cultivators and should be around D-class, hence earning much more money.
Looking at the example of what sort of mission each class could be given, they felt like F-class missions were for mortals, while E-class missions were for those who just broke through their mortal shells.
As for them, they had been cultivators for years now. So most should be in D-class.
Of course, people as strong as Bho Su and the other Profound sect disciples here should be in C-class or B-class, depending on their strength.
Some guards in Chu Che's palace fell into this category, too.
Also, people as strong as Old Fru should take A-class missions.
Those in the 2nd Dao of cultivation, the Spirit Realm, should take all the S, double-S, and Triple-S class missions.
Everyone knew their place and how much money they should be able to make from the mission hall.
No matter how they looked at it, doing missions yielded more in a shorter period than their original plans.
And with the way they were advancing, soon, they might rank up in mission class, too, earning more.
The way they looked at it now, this mission hall was a blessing in disguise.
.
Staring at the 2 Million silver coins that Chu Che just received, it might seem like a lot.
But in a week, they used up 1.26 million silver coins (126 gold coins)
Then this should be enough for just a week and a half.
It was brutal but very fair.
Cultivation was expensive and complicated.
It wasn't strange to spend so much on improving one's self.
The results they got from the gaming hall showed that it needed to be cheaper.
They would charge 500 gold bounds or more to enter another realm per hour if it were a prominent sect.
F***!
They might even hide its existence, preventing ordinary folks from ever using it.
At least, that's what they thought.
That's why they dared not waste this sort of opportunity.
Another positive aspect is that they still had a chance to make even more money while on their missions.
Say their mission was to collect specific quantities of grade-1 herbs.
If they killed a few beasts along the way, they could still collect the cores as money, which would give them extra money.
It was a double win.
Some in the barrage had already decided to do group missions with their friends and gather money together to test the waters.
And if they were in danger, they could teleport back to the Mission Hall swiftly.
What shocked them the most was that even if they didn't use it, the Teleportation Pass would automatically activate if the enemy made any sneak attacks they couldn't see.
Wasn't this guaranteeing their lives?
So even if they ran into higher-grade beasts or scum sect disciples, they would be safe.
With such a heavenly thing, what else could they say?
F***!
They would be fools not to take up missions!
