Chapter 842 - 651 Spirit Body Perfection + - 652 Picking Stars and Moon
"Welcome back."
Seeing the Traveling Envoy again, the old man’s smile became even more cordial.
Zhou Ping’an couldn’t figure out his exact profit motive, but he vaguely understood that task completion rates were likely part of some evaluation criteria.
Having accepted the task from him and returned successfully, the Shadow Pavilion likely earns a cut, perhaps part of which belongs to him.
Zhou Ping’an didn’t care much about this kind of profit-sharing arrangement.
He took out a fire-attribute Heavenly Star Stone and handed it over, curiously asking, "So the Heavenly Martial King from the Bing Chen 1315 World issued a fake mission, yet your Shadow Pavilion has no countermeasures? If someone really completes the mission and doesn’t get paid, can they demand compensation from your Shadow Pavilion?"
"Actually, whether the mission is fake or real, as long as he truly has payment on him, it’s fine. Whether the contract can be fulfilled is also part of the mission..."
The Traveling Envoy accepted the Heavenly Star Stone with a meaningful smile: "If someone fails to retrieve their due reward, they’d just get ambushed and robbed along the way. For this reason, those task-takers rarely actually complete the mission."
"I see."
A faint sense of alarm rose within Zhou Ping’an.
Born into a modern world steeped in the rule of law, his mindset was inherently kind and law-abiding, leading him to believe that fairness and order mattered in all things—but other task-takers didn’t necessarily think that way.
