Chapter 34: Quest Progress
[ Quest Name: Xuanyuan Zhou’s First Research Subject ]
[ Quest Description: Being favored by a child of destiny can be greatly rewarding. But attracting her interest so deeply that she attaches herself to you like a magnet may or may not be a good sign. The outcome now depends upon your choices, your performance, and how they affect her interest in you. Of course, you must aim for the best possible results. ]
[ Quest Difficulty: Hard ]
[ Quest Rewards: (1) 70 Survival Points; (2) An Unorthodox Mystic Art; (3) An opportunity to change host’s cursed Physique ]
[ Warning: Earning the 2nd and the 3rd reward will depend on host’s performance. Both are associated with highly volatile variables capable of affecting even the main storyline. Host must not let greed cloud his judgment. ]
There was a lot to unpack from this quest’s data, but one particular detail got stuck in his head and refused to get out.
"Cursed Physique?!"
Seeing the system’s casual remark about his body, Han Xuhan couldn’t figure out what it meant exactly.
Was this curse a reference to the heavenly punishment that had supposedly befallen him between his two lives?
This conclusion left a shadow of doubt in his heart. Saying that he was cursed by the heavens was one thing, but directly labelling his physique as cursed seemed to carry other implications, raising more serious and immediate concerns.
Just this morning, he had learned that the word ’Physique’ carried a significant meaning in this world.
