The meaning of Su Wen's words was simple; he just wanted to tell Li Huan that no matter what he did, Li Huan had no right to interfere. He should just work honestly according to the agreement. However, Li Huan thought of something else. He was regretting, "How could I doubt the boss? I am a good person, and the boss must be a good person too."
After Su Wen left, Li Huan worked even harder.
However, Li Huan spent more time practicing. The more he practiced, the more motivated he became. He was now practicing the seventh move. Although he couldn't see his vitality, he could feel his body getting stronger, and he had made significant progress in all aspects.
"Oops, I almost forgot the main thing." Li Huan felt a bit awkward. Actually, he had come to ask Su Wen for leave.
On the surface, he was now an employee of Jubaizhai. According to the usual company procedures, if he didn't go to work, he needed to ask for leave. Li Huan had something to do in the afternoon and evening the next day, so he wanted to ask Su Wen for leave. Now that Su Wen had left, he felt a bit depressed.
"What's wrong, Li Huan?" Chen Yunhao was puzzled. He thought Li Huan was a strange person.
Li Huan was specially recruited by Su Wen, and Chen Yunhao didn't know what Li Huan could do. Anyway, in the past few days, Li Huan had been cleaning under the direction of Aunt Wu. Li Huan quickly adapted to this role and didn't mind the dirt or the hard work, which earned him praise from everyone at Jubaizhai.
"I wanted to ask the boss for leave, but the boss gave me a lesson and made me forget the main thing. Should I call the boss?" Li Huan asked cautiously.
"Are you looking for death? The boss has said many times not to call him for trivial matters. Even if you call him for big matters, it won't help. In your case, just write a leave note, and I'll approve it for you." Chen Yunhao put on the air of a boss.
"Will you approve it for me?" Li Huan showed a hint of joy. He didn't care who approved it; as long as Su Wen pursued it later, he would have something to say.
"I'm in charge of everything at Jubaizhai according to the boss's instructions. Approving a leave note is a small matter." Chen Yunhao looked very pleased. He was the boss, wasn't he? Apart from Su Wen, who didn't ask about matters, he was the biggest here. No, he should exclude the other three evil shareholders.
Hearing this, Li Huan thought, since someone was willing to take the blame for him, why wait? He handed over the leave note, and Chen Yunhao quickly signed his name.
Li Huan looked at the leave note and suddenly said, "Right, Aunt Wu has something to do tomorrow and won't be able to come. The garbage pile behind Jubaizhai needs to be cleaned. I'll trouble you, Mr. Chen."
Chen Yunhao was stunned. Was he being tricked?
At night, the clock struck midnight.
A new day had come.
Su Wen was anxiously waiting for the system to issue a new task.
Xiao Tian was very active, and his voice was extremely enthusiastic: "Boss, the exciting moment has arrived. What are you waiting for? What are you hesitating about? Complete the task as soon as possible. A bright future is beckoning to you, red tickets, beautiful women..."
Su Wen was speechless: "Stop rambling and quickly announce the task."
Xiao Tian nodded awkwardly.
This time, the system issued one main task and two side tasks.
According to the system's rules, there could be a maximum of three side tasks, but this time only two appeared.
The specific task content:
Main Task: Ancient Coin Recovery. Task Requirement: Recover 1,000 Tang Dynasty coins within one month. Task Reward: Golden Goose Technique.
Now, let's look at the side tasks:
Side Task 1: Animal Lover Recycler. Task Description: Protecting animals is everyone's responsibility. The host needs to save 1,000 animals. Note: No animal cruelty is allowed, or the side task will be permanently canceled. Task Reward: Basic Beast Language (allows communication with terrestrial animals).
Side Task 2: Brave Recycler. Task Description: Accumulate 1,000 hits. Note: No intentional hitting or evil deeds. Task Reward: Intermediate Bloodline Enhancement.
Seeing the tasks, Su Wen was both excited and nervous.
It was clear that this time the tasks were much harder.
Not to mention the main task, which required recovering 1,000 Tang Dynasty coins. The Tang Dynasty was over a thousand years ago, and how many coins from that era could have survived? Su Wen clearly remembered that since he activated the special item recovery for ancient coins, he had recovered fewer than twenty Tang Dynasty coins.
So, this task was quite challenging.
Of course, it wasn't impossible that Su Wen would suddenly get extremely lucky and find a Tang Dynasty treasure, making the task easy to complete.
Thinking about this, Su Wen had an idea. Tang Dynasty treasures were hard to find, but there were still many Tang Dynasty tombs. If he found a tomb of a Tang Dynasty noble, he might be able to recover many coins, thus completing the task.
Once the task was completed, he would receive the reward, the Golden Goose Technique.
"Golden Goose Technique, what kind of martial art is this?" Su Wen seemed to have heard of it.
"Master, this is a lightness technique. In martial arts novels, it is the basic lightness technique of the Quanzhen Sect. It can be performed without internal energy and is very powerful. When practiced to a high level, one can walk thirty-seven steps in the air and leap three feet, which is astonishing and unparalleled." Xiao Tian marveled.
"Martial arts novels?" Su Wen was speechless. Why did the system's reward involve martial arts novels?
"Master, you don't know. To make it easier for you to accept and enhance the immersion, ninety percent of the martial arts rewards are named after similar techniques in martial arts novels." Xiao Tian explained.
Su Wen nodded, understanding immediately.
In the future, if he encountered techniques like the 18 Dragon Subduing Palms or the Buddha's Palm, he wouldn't be surprised.
"Master, you can choose to accept or reject the main task?" Xiao Tian urged.
Su Wen knew that he had to choose whether to accept or reject the main task. After analyzing, he naturally accepted it.
As for the two side tasks:
Side Task 1, as expected, involved doing good deeds, but this time the target was animals, and he needed to save 1,000 animals. Su Wen wondered if chickens and ducks counted as animals. If they did, could he buy a thousand chickens and ducks and release them to complete the task? However, he was sure that the system wouldn't approve this. Indeed, Xiao Tian soon reminded him that chickens and ducks were animals but didn't count in the system's tally, and the system didn't consider releasing a thousand chickens and ducks as saving them.
According to Xiao Tian, only helping protected animals would be recognized by the system.
Su Wen thought about how to complete this task but realized he knew very little about animals. Apart from knowing that pandas were protected, he didn't know much else. Regardless, he would try his best to complete it.
The reward for this task was very tempting, called Basic Beast Language.
What was Beast Language?
It was more of a communication ability with animals rather than a language. Imagine being able to communicate with terrestrial animals. He could keep a pack of large dogs, and they would understand him, and he would understand them. If he encountered an enemy, he could shout, "Close the door, release the dogs!"
Moreover, if there was a Basic Beast Language, there must be an Intermediate and Advanced level.
Su Wen placed great importance on Side Task 1; he really liked this ability.
As for Side Task 2, the name was the same as the previous Side Task 2, "Brave Recycler," but this time Su Wen was the one doing the hitting. This made the task much simpler, but unfortunately, the requirement increased from 100 to 1,000, which was terrifying. Completing 1,000 hits in a month was almost impossible. If he averaged it out, he would need to hit someone 30 times a day, and he didn't have that many people to hit.
But if he couldn't complete it this month, there was always next month.
The reward for Side Task 2, Intermediate Bloodline Enhancement, was something he couldn't give up. It was definitely more powerful than the Basic level. Just the Basic level had significantly increased his vitality, so the Intermediate level would do even more.
After calming down, Su Wen went to sleep.
The night was beautiful, and he had a smile on his face. Since obtaining the Great Heavenly Dao Recycling System, his life was destined to be different.
