"I remember you let the three of them go so easily!" I sneered.
Thinking about this incident to this day, I still feel that Dewey's handling of the incident was somewhat inappropriate.
That is to say, I have superb skills and strong cultivation. If it were someone else, they might have killed me.
But Dewey simply admonished them and let them collect their punishments on their own.
However, to my surprise, in the face of my ridicule, Dewey did not make any refutation or explanation, but just looked at me with a smile.
His demeanor immediately made me furious. I was about to scold him, but when the words came to my lips, I suddenly changed my tone.
"Are you saying they..." I said uncertainly.
"Yes! You're not too stupid." Dewey picked up his big gourd and took another sip of wine without waiting for me to finish.
"The three Fat Shura people were considered star disciples in the academy back then, and they were very famous for a while!"
"The three of them have similar interests and have formed a team. Every time they go on a mission, they complete it more perfectly than other teams in the same batch," he said.
"It's just that we often walk by the river, how can we not get our shoes wet? Finally, during an independent mission, they encountered big trouble."
"The three of them desperately escaped back to the academy and fell into a coma for a long time. When they woke up, their memories were confused and their personalities changed drastically."
"To put it simply, the three of them are crazy! It's just that their condition gets better and worse."
"But what's amazing is that even in this situation, they still haven't forgotten their friendship, which is very touching."
"And after all, they are academy disciples, and they were injured while completing the tasks assigned by the academy. Naturally, the academy cannot give up on them, so they are admitted to the academy for treatment."
"When their condition improves, their freedom will not be restricted and they will be allowed to go in and out of the academy on their own."
"Of course, this also includes the idea of letting them have more contact with ordinary disciples. I hope they can recover soon."
"But who can tell when mental illness will strike? The academy doesn't have soul practitioners with high enough levels of cultivation, so it's actually very difficult to cure them."
"Alas! People always have misfortune and good fortune. This is fate!" Dewey sighed, with a look of pity on his face.
"Actually, the situation you encountered that day was not the first time. Even though they acted very viciously, in fact, they would not really hurt anyone if they succeeded."
"Before this, many disciples were ambushed by them. In the end, they just tied them back to the academy and left on their own."
"Everyone is aware of their situation, so they usually don't bother to care about it. The academy will also take their past achievements into account and will not really embarrass them."
"Actually, how do you say this?" Dewey seemed to see that I was still not convinced, and gradually changed his tone and said, "Just think that their intelligence has deteriorated!"
"The three of them behaved like three children. Did the ambush and kidnapping look like the ordinary children's play house?"
"There is even role-playing, where you define a role for yourself that looks very majestic, but in fact it is not worth mentioning at all!"
"Even in the end, you tied them back and you saw me scolding them."
"Do they behave like children who have made mistakes? They do whatever I tell them to do?" Dewey asked me, tilting his head and looking a little more solemn.
Obviously, in the process of telling the past story of the Fat Shura trio, he got into the role faster than I did.
Judging from the behavior of the three Fat Shura people when they faced him before, it seems that the relationship between the three of them and him is not shallow.
Even to a certain extent, Dewey can be regarded as the parent of three people whose IQs have deteriorated after losing their memory.
So the three guessed that they showed great awe towards him!
"Senior Brother Dewey is right, I shouldn't argue with them. Sigh..." I sighed, and finally shook my head, accepting it.
He has already spoken to such an extent, what can I do? To be honest, after hearing so much, even I felt a little compassion in my heart, and I felt faintly sad for the three Fat Shura people.
"By the way, you just said that they were talking about doing tasks for the academy? What are those? Does the academy often issue tasks?" I asked, feeling really curious about this part, and it was a part that Huang Liang had not introduced before.
.
"Hahaha... Of course! This is called applying what you have learned!" Dewey said with a smile, as if the question I asked was very satisfying to him.
Next, through his narration, I roughly figured out what these so-called tasks were all about.
This task is just like a practical course in a university in the real world, except that after completion, not only will you get credits, but there will also be other rewards.
According to Dewey's "learning to apply", this is indeed the original intention of issuing these tasks.
The academy hopes that all disciples can truly master the knowledge imparted by the academy in the process of practice, and at the same time earn contribution points for themselves in exchange for more and better cultivation resources.
The academy can also benefit from this. By assigning some simple, not very difficult but very tedious tasks to the academy disciples, they will complete them and assist in the construction of the academy, ultimately achieving the effect of killing three birds with one stone.
It can be said that in this task system, all participants are winners!
The most common of these tasks is to go to the outside world to collect certain herbs and ores, or to hunt certain monsters, ferocious beasts, etc.
The slightly higher level of difficulty also includes exploring various ruins, chasing down some evil cultivators who have caused anger and resentment, and being invited by outside sects to help deal with some matters.
In addition to these, they also help some elders take care of flowers and plants, use their own true energy to help refine elixirs, and even serve as guinea pigs to test the power of certain formations.
In short, the number is very large, and the types are even more diverse. There is never a task that you can't think of, but there is no task that you can't see.
Because the issuer of these tasks, said to be the academy, actually still has to be specific to a certain person.
Generally speaking, tasks issued in the name of the academy will reward task values.
When the task value has accumulated to a certain level, you can go to the treasure house in the academy to exchange for various fairy treasures of your choice.
For most ordinary disciples who are not good enough and are destined to have difficulty in obtaining better rewards in various competitions, completing tasks to earn task points, and finally redeeming them at the Treasure Pavilion is the only way for them to obtain immortal treasures.
For tasks issued by specific people, such as the six sect masters, elders of various peaks, etc., there are more types of rewards.
Usually it is what these elders are good at, such as a number of elixirs, or the opportunity to help with the refining of immortal treasures, or simply an empty favor. (To be continued)
