Contribution Points System

Jo Yuan stepped into his new abode, a small but cozy room in the East Wing of the MoonShadow Sect. The walls were painted in a soft cream color, and a simple wooden bed sat against one side. A desk, made from dark wood, occupied the other side, its surface bare except for a small lamp. A window opened to a view of the training grounds, and Jo Yuan could see other disciples practicing their techniques. The sunlight streamed in, illuminating the space with a warm glow.

As he settled in, he noticed the sounds of laughter and chatter coming from the neighboring rooms. His neighbors were top outer disciples, known for their skills and strength. At first glance, they appeared arrogant, their confidence radiating like a shield. Jo Yuan felt a bit intimidated as he heard them boast about their accomplishments, but they surprisingly treated him as their junior brother.

"Hey, new kid!" one of them shouted from the next room. "You better not embarrass us out here!"

At first, Jo Yuan thought they were just being ruthless, trying to scare him. But as the days passed, he began to realize that their tough exterior hid a softer side. They often offered him advice, sharing tips on how to improve his techniques. They would feign indifference, jokingly pushing him to train harder, but there was a subtle care in their words. Jo Yuan saw how they helped other junior disciples, sharing food or sparring with them to help build their skills. They had fooled him at first, but he could see that beneath their arrogance, they genuinely wanted him to succeed.

One evening, as Jo Yuan shared a meal with his neighbors, one of them leaned back in his chair, a mischievous smile on his face. "You know, as outer disciples, we have our perks. We get a monthly allowance of spiritual stones, good food, and access to facilities for training. It's not as good as inner disciples, though. They can choose their own masters and learn directly from them."

Jo Yuan listened carefully, curious about what lay ahead. "How many spiritual stones do we get?" he asked.

"Enough to keep you fed and maybe even get a few materials for your techniques," the disciple replied, his tone light. "But don't expect too much. Inner disciples get way more, and they also have access to advanced techniques and resources."

Jo Yuan nodded, trying to absorb all the information. It seemed that being an outer disciple had its advantages, but the higher-ranked disciples still had much more.

As he adjusted to life in the sect, he also learned about the contribution points system. One of his neighbors explained it over dinner. "We have a points system for tasks and missions. You earn contribution points by completing different kinds of tasks—some are easy, while others can be quite difficult. For example, gathering herbs or helping with chores will earn you a few points, but going on missions to deal with dangerous creatures can earn you a lot more."

Jo Yuan's eyes widened. "What can we do with these points?"

"You can exchange them for various resources," the disciple said. "It includes spiritual stones, special techniques, and even access to the inner sect's libraries. You'll want to save up for something good. The more points you have, the better the resources you can get."

"Where do we go to earn these points?" Jo Yuan asked, eager to dive into this new system.

"The mission hall," his neighbor replied, finishing his meal. "It's where you can find a list of tasks available. Just check the board; you'll see categories, difficulties, and types of tasks. You can pick and choose what you want to do. Just remember, the more dangerous the task, the more points you earn. But also, the more risk involved."
