Reward
Ethan was tired. But he didn't give up. He is no longer on Earth. Getting educated from the schools and then grabbing a decent job, and then retiring at the age of 60 was not the life he always desired.
He always wanted to live in a magical world. But alas, Earth is the world filled with technologies and machineries. So he had no choice but to feel bored. This was one of the reason why he didn't put any efforts in anything. He felt that he doesn't belong in earth.
The only notable achievement he had on earth is, he was the world 1st ranked player in the MMORPG game [Ascension]. Other than that, he had no achievements to his credit.
Because of all this, he virtually gave up on everything. He was called lazy, disappointment, mediocre, loser, Fool and what not. He pretty much gave up.
But now things were different. The God might have heard his daily wishes. He was now in the cultivation world. He is about to start his new life. This was the life he desired the most. So he was not going to be a lazy dog.
He once again looked at the status of the quest. He couldn't help but sigh.
[Quest Name : A True Librarian]
[Quest Rank : F]
[Description : Since the attack on the Academy 200 years ago, the Library was closed. Due to the fall in quality of the students and even the teaching staff, the Library was not used and was closed.]
[Mission : Perform the duty of a Librarian. Clean the entire Library and make it look beautiful]
[Completion Rate : 53%]
He was working for ten hours now. And yet, his quest completion rate has the completion rate of 53% only. If that is the case, then he had to work for another ten hours for the quest's completion.
His body could become sweaty without doing anything at all. But what will happen if he worked physically for 10 hours straight without any break? His weak body is now almost on the verge of breaking point.
He took some rest. He knew that he had to be patient in the world of cultivation. In Chinese novels, he read that a cultivator should keep his body in idle condition. This is a necessity for their future breakthroughs. So in order to not reach any bottleneck, he decided to take rest.
After sleeping for five hours, he resumed his cleaning mission. He was hungry. But he decided to complete the quest first. He wanted to increase his physical body attributes as high as possible urgently. Then his cleaning efficiency would increase.
Time passed. After another nine hours, he looked at his quest's status.

[Mission : Perform the duty of a Librarian. Clean the entire Library and make it look beautiful]
[Completion Rate : 97%]
The Library was now looking quite good. Cleaning has always been a boring thing to do for anyone. But in the library, the thing that annoyed Ethan the most is to clean each and every book and make it free of dust.
But that annoyance soon turned into bliss. Because with grabbing of each manual to clean up, System Notification started to pop out.
[Discovered A Skill Manual]
[Manual Name : Nimble Footsteps]
[Description : It is a moment technique that will help the user to walk or run more quickly than your actual pace]
[Do you want to learn?]
...
[Discovered a Fist Technique Manual]
[Manual Name : Raging Fist]
[Description : When used, the blood circulation will flow rapidly and gives unimaginable strength to the user. User can manipulate the strength and gather it to your fist. With the fiery strength gathered in your hand, the output power will be massive]
[Do you want to learn?]

[Discovered a Breathing Manual]
[Manual Name : Organs Strengthening Breathing Technique]
[Description : When following the instructions in the manual, the user can gather the spiritual energy of the world within their body and channel it into your organs. If the procedure of breathing exercise is followed correctly, then it will strengthen your internal organs which in turn will strengthen your physique]
[Do you want to learn?]
One after the another, too many system notifications popped out in his vision. Ethan was ecstatic when he found these cultivation manuals. But when he said "Yes", his smile froze with the System Notification.
[Learning process failed]
[User does not have enough Skill Points to learn]
[Does user want to save the file in the System Database?]
"yes." ,Ethan was obviously wanted to cry. But since he could save them and learn it after accumulating enough Skill Points, he was not completely depressed. He was patient.
After another hour, he successfully completed the mission. A system notification also popped out which confirmed that he was successful.

Phew!
Ethan took a deep breath and left it from his mouth. Even though he was a little disappointed with the Skill Points column, he was satisfied overall. After watching the quest rewards, he felt that his 20 hours of hard work and patience was worthwhile.
He needed Skill Points for learning cultivation techniques. But due to his 100,000 Skill Points which were in due credit, he couldn't learn it right away.
'System was truly stingy. It didn't ask me whether I wish to use all my skill points to clear the Skill Points credit amount or not. It actually deducted automatically as soon as it rewarded me.'
Ethan was depressed over this. He immediately ordered, "System! From next time please ask me before you deduce the Skill Points to clear the credit."
[Command Accepted]
Ethan felt good. Even though he couldn't use Skill Points for now, from next time onwards, he will have his priority. So he didn't care that much.
But the only thing he could celebrate right now is about his Attribute Points. He now had 15 Attribute Points.
He looked at his Attribute Points and was thinking how to distribute them.
