"Understood, no wonder the Western Monk was so eager to promote this Purification Totem task. It was all for laying groundwork for the plot that followed. Big Smoke, the task failure doesn't affect you, right?"
Su Ran nodded. There was something he couldn't figure out: the Western Monk NPC had already become history, so what about the task? Could it still continue? Even if he completed it, who would he go to collect the rewards from?
"It didn't, actually. It was a unilateral contract breach by the NPC, and the system erased the task. It's a blessing in disguise, really."
Big Smoke couldn't help but swallow his saliva when he thought about the harsh penalties of that task, not wanting to recall further.
