"Brother Du, you really treat me like a rice bucket."
Xiao Hei felt wronged. Actually, he had just woken up. He could not possibly eat an entire Iron Armor Crocodile and then sleep. If he really did that, his advancement speed would be too fast. Even an ancient divine beast's body needed time to metabolize.
The level seven Iron Armor Crocodile meat was indeed not bad. It was rich in spirit energy. But in terms of taste, it was far from the Jasper Sheep Meat. The fiber of the crocodile meat was coarse and the meat was hard. It could not be compared to the soft and tender sheep meat. After eating for a while, Xiao Hei felt that he was not hungry anymore and did not continue eating.
"How is it? Is there a problem with the newcomer?"
In a sealed room, two workers were chatting. One of them was using a crystal ball to monitor every movement in Boötes Constellation's room.
"It's nothing. This person knows how to enjoy himself."
When Du Feng entered Boötes Constellation's room, the first thing he did was to slaughter the Jasper Sheep and treat everyone to a pot of mutton. He really knew how to enjoy himself.
"He brought two beauties to stay in the inn. Of course he knows how to enjoy himself. I think he doesn't like our restaurant's ladies."
The other worker obviously misunderstood his colleague and thought that he was talking about that kind of enjoyment.
"He did not bring two but three. There's even a Xiao Hei cat. That's weird."
"Why is it three? Let me see."
The two of them wanted to continue peeping into Boötes Constellation's room. But they saw a thick fog rising from the crystal ball and they could not see anything. This was because after Du Feng finished the pot of mutton, he started to set up an array in the room. He knew that no one would be able to barge into Boötes Constellation's room, but he was still worried.
He casually set up a few level six array formations. He did not expect them to be able to prevent peeping. If the wood spirit lady and Xiao Hei were to be exposed, then so be it. No one would know the situation anyway. But he had some methods that could not be exposed.
"Alright, you guys stay here. I'll go out and do something."
After arranging the Multi-Layered Array Formation, Du Feng asked Murong Mansha and Du Yu 'er to stay behind while he went out to deal with some matters. He had already heard from Sun Wen that it would take some effort to travel from Wind City to Star-Moon City. To travel between cities, apart from having to pay money, one also needed to have contribution points.
In other words, if an outsider came to a city that belonged to the Thousand Moon Kingdom, they could live there after paying a fee. However, if they wanted to go to another city, they would have to make enough contributions in the previous city. For example, to travel from Wind City to Rain City, one would need 1,000 contribution points.
There were many ways to earn money in Wind City, such as selling medicinal pills, selling weapons, or simply picking up some handicrafts. However, there was only one way to earn Contribution Points, and that was to go out of the city and kill Demonic Beasts.
Du Feng strolled around and arrived at the city defense office where the mission was issued. He found that there were already many people lined up there. It seemed like there were a lot of people who wanted to accumulate contribution points and head to the next city. This was not strange at all. As long as it was a cultivator teleporting from afar, they would first arrive at Wind City.
Regardless of whether one's destination was the nearest Rain City or the farthest Star-Moon City, one had to start doing missions in Wind City to earn contribution points. Otherwise, even if one stayed here for ten years and spent all the contribution points, one would still not be able to leave this place. Not being able to leave this place also included not being able to teleport back to the original city.
This was clearly forcing foreign cultivators to work as laborers for the Thousand Moon Kingdom. The Thousand Moon Kingdom was surrounded by volcanoes and was harassed by Demonic Beasts all year round. These Demonic Beasts grew up under the fumigation of sulfur and magma. Each and every one of them was extremely strong. If they were not dealt with regularly, when they fully matured, they would definitely overturn the Thousand Moon Kingdom.
Hence, every city in the Thousand Moon Kingdom would issue hunting missions at regular intervals. According to the number of Demonic Beasts killed, one could obtain the corresponding contribution points. Only after accumulating enough contribution points could one enter the next city. In fact, they understood very well that the reason why cultivators came all the way to Star-Moon City was to experience the Seven Basaltic Mansions.
Before they entered Star-Moon City, they had to make good use of these cultivators to clear out the Demonic Beasts residing in the volcanoes. If they only relied on the Kingdom's City Defense Force, the sacrifice would be too great. Cultivators were constantly teleported over from the outside, allowing them to go out and complete missions. If they died, then so be it. The city would not suffer any losses.
"Senior, are you also going to accept a mission?"
Just as Du Feng entered the City Defense Force, a young woman came forward to welcome him. She was dressed in a white dress with long sleeves and a high collar, which wrapped her up tightly. However, her eyes shone like stars, and there was a treasured saber hanging from her waist.
"Du Xue, why are you here?"
This person's appearance and attire had not changed. Hence, Du Feng recognized her with a single glance. This person was Du Xue, a disciple of the Eastern Continent's Snow Mountain Sect. She had once been a consignment agent in Situ Weiwei's auction house. At that time, to ensure the fairness of the transaction, Du Feng had even signed a soul contract with her. He had a deep impression of her.
The two of them even met once in the Dragon Burial Grounds. However, at that time, Du Xue's performance was not eye-catching, so Du Feng did not pay much attention to her.
"Senior, this way please."
The receptionist did not answer Du Feng's question. Instead, she invited him into a separate room.
"Shh!"
Just as Du Feng wanted to ask more questions, he saw Du Xue placing her finger in front of her lips to make a silent gesture.
"Senior, please take a look first. These are the missions released today."
Subsequently, she put on an act and began to introduce the missions that could be accepted to Du Feng. One had to admit that Wind City's missions were truly a scam. An Origin Realm martial artist could obtain one contribution point by hunting a class 5 demonic beast. But a Void Sea Realm martial artist wouldn't get any contribution points by hunting class 5 demonic beasts. They could only hunt class 6 demonic beasts.
This rule was truly harsh. If a Void Sea Realm martial artist could obtain contribution points by hunting class 5 demonic beasts. They could rely on their powerful Cultivation to hunt class 5 demonic beasts in batches and quickly accumulate 1000 contribution points. But if there were no contribution points for hunting class 5 demonic beasts, no one would be willing to do it.
Class 6 demonic beasts were equivalent to the first to ninth level of the Void Sea Realm. In addition to the special landform of the volcano cluster, some of the demonic beasts' combat strength had probably reached the half-step Heaven Seizing Realm. Killing one would only get one contribution point. How long would it take to get out of the city?
"What kind of lousy rule is this? Are you still not letting me go?"
Du Feng slammed the table and stood up. He behaved like any other martial artist who came to accept a mission for the first time. The reason why he could enter the separate room to accept missions was because his Cultivation was above the fifth level of the Void Sea Realm. Martial artists that were lower than this level could only accept missions in the hall outside.
"Senior, don't be angry. You can also bring some things back to exchange for contribution points."
