Chapter 2938 - 4: Jia Yan the Slacker?

A being like him can only smile wryly; talent is a thing that doesn’t care if you’re a strong warrior from the Central Milky Way Region or a rural strong one. Even if he is a sect master, if he lacks talent, then he simply lacks talent.

Fortunately, his talent isn’t too bad. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have become a Star River initial order existence. Although his combat power isn’t strong, being at the early stage still means he’s quite formidable in the Milky Way Galaxy, and the same goes for the Central Milky Way Region.

So after giving it some thought, he no longer envied Jia Yan.

"That Mister Jia Yan, joining our Lin An Sect, surely isn’t to cause trouble, because his power is sufficient, and creating chaos wouldn’t be that complicated. Also, seeing him bargain over salary with me..."

"No, no, no. I’m definitely overthinking it. A Galaxy Level Powerhouse actually cares about a Stellar Level income? That doesn’t make sense at all."

"But... if there’s even the slightest possibility, perhaps this strong warrior genuinely reached a dead end and isn’t willing to do bad deeds, so decided to use an avatar to do some work first."

He continuously speculates like this, eventually giving himself a headache.

Regarding this inexplicable Star River level existence, even if it’s just an avatar, such a small sect must pay full attention.

At this moment, the sect master hasn’t shared his observations with anyone because he believes that if Jia Yan is sincere, he will eventually explain himself.

However, what disappointed this Star River existence was that ’Jia Yan,’ after joining their Lin An Sect, didn’t approach him at all and certainly didn’t explain anything.

A full half-month passed, the newly arrived strong warrior remained at his ’residence,’ even releasing Brainwave Power that created a domain-like effect, preventing anyone from approaching.

"Sect Master, this Jia Yan is a bit too much. He joined our sect but doesn’t want to do any tasks. I’ve tried several times to assign him work, but I haven’t even seen him."

A Stellar Level being came to report to the Lin An Sect Master, speaking with some resentment toward the sect master.

Actually, his attitude mostly targets the sect master because they previously discussed forcing Jia Yan into tasks, but the sect master disagreed.

What’s the meaning of this? A newcomer doesn’t get assigned tasks, yet enjoys Stellar Level treatment while they work themselves to death. This Semi-permanent Star Level being receives the same benefits without doing a thing?

Many speculate privately whether Jia Yan is the sect master’s illegitimate child.

Of course, this is almost impossible because the sect master has remained unmarried for life, uninterested in females, let alone having illegitimate children. Furthermore, Jia Yan and the sect master have distinctly different appearances. In this era, strong warriors’ bloodlines easily influence appearance, and Jia Yan looks nothing like him, making the idea of an illegitimate child unlikely.

In any case, people are somewhat displeased with the sect master privately.

"Is that so?"

The sect master paused his work, hesitating slightly.

He was also unsure how to handle the existence that might be an avatar of a strong one.

The attempt to assign tasks seemed hopeful, but unexpectedly, Jia Yan was impervious, refusing any task.

"No, since he’s a strong being and comes with principles for earning money, he surely wouldn’t be inactive. There must be some issue on our side; could the task not suit his taste?"

The sect master pondered.

The Stellar Level being beside him waited slowly. In this starfield, the situation differs from the outside; even a Stellar Level being doesn’t face major issues confronting superiors or stronger warriors. In this starfield, the prestige of strong warriors isn’t as grand as imagined.

"How about this, give him a slightly challenging task, such as... small-scale vendettas, which our sect hasn’t resolved for years."

The sect master finally spoke.

"Huh? Assign a vendetta task... this..."

The Stellar Level being was slightly taken aback.

He had no idea Jia Yan was an avatar of a strong warrior, so he felt assigning Jia Yan such a task might be challenging.

Not because he doubted Jia Yan’s ability, he knew a Semi-permanent Star Level vendetta task could be highly accomplishable for a creature capable of defeating all semi-permanent star level beings in their sect.

The problem was that Jia Yan hadn’t accepted minor tasks, so how could he take on this combat-heavy task?

"Just give it a try. If it doesn’t work, come back to me; I will personally inquire with him. Remember not to speak too harshly."

The sect master worried the Stellar Level being might disrespect Jia Yan and reminded him cautiously.

"Okay."

The Stellar Level being, as they had previously rumored that this newly arrived semi-permanent star level strong warrior might be an avatar of a strong being, approached Jia Yan with semi-doubt. But he didn’t expect Jia Yan to treat the task dispatcher with indifference, sparking discontent toward this semi-permanent star level being.

The sect master’s attitude served as a hint, quickly helping him understand Jia Yan’s true nature.

Either an avatar of a strong one or a youth of great origin.

As for his mere Stellar Level presence that had some recognition outside the Central Milky Way Region, it placed him in a mid-to-high position internally. He preferred not taking risks.

"Mister Jia Yan, I’m here under the sect master’s orders to inform you of a new task."

Soon enough, this Stellar Level being flew into the mountainous area where Jia Yan resided.

Observing the mountainous terrain, the environment and air were good, making him slightly envious because Jia Yan’s residence was better than his.

Under the mountain forest, among the trees, a massive black dog-like creature lay on the ground.

Upon hearing the newcomer speak, he merely rolled his eyes slightly without moving.

Such an overtly dismissive attitude nearly ignited the fire of anger in the Stellar Level being.

But remembering the sect master’s words, he took a deep breath and continued calmly.

"Mister Jia Yan, the sect master mentioned that perhaps you don’t want to undertake ordinary small tasks, so this time he tasked me with delivering a slightly difficult mission—one that typical semi-permanent star level beings struggle with. Are you interested in this task?"

After speaking, he displayed a gigantic light screen with the task details.

The light screen twisted slightly, flashing the task details, visible to the creature below.

Gradually, the reluctance to move disappeared from his eyes.

The huge dog read two lines and shifted from lying down to sitting up.

Then he casually asked, "Tell me, when does this task start? Where is the destination? Who do I need to confront? Are there rewards?"

Jia Yan asked a series of questions, instantly delighting the Stellar Level being.

To him, Jia Yan was akin to a headache-inducing creature, unsure how to handle this task assignment.

Previous attempts to assign tasks were rejected by Jia Yan, leading him to believe this character just wanted an easy ride.

Unexpectedly, following the sect master’s advice to offer a tough task, sparked Jia Yan’s interest?

"I’ll detail the task information shortly. As for rewards, there definitely are some. Given the dangerous nature of the task that specifically requires semi-permanent star level warriors, if you manage to complete it, you can expect considerable rewards. So, you’re willing to undertake it?"

His voice was filled with surprise.
