The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Chapter 2074: Issue a mission, news from the human world

The huge sign stood tall, with various tasks densely listed on it.

Some tasks seem extremely tedious and complex, making people feel daunted.

Some tasks are relatively simple, but even so, for the tribesmen who have always lived on this island, isolated from the world, these tasks are still like a fairy tale that is difficult to understand and deal with.

They all stared with wide eyes, staring at the complicated task descriptions on the sign, with expressions of confusion and helplessness on their faces.

Although I am eager to complete the tasks, I have no idea where to start, let alone how to carry out these tasks.

As if aware of the difficulties faced by her fellow tribesmen, Xing Yan appeared in front of everyone again.

This time, she did not leave in a hurry as usual, but stood steadily in the center of the wide square.

With a smile on her face, she began to explain in detail in a gentle and clear voice the things that required special attention when doing the task.

As Xing Yan patiently explained, the fog that had originally shrouded the hearts of the tribesmen gradually dissipated.

Afterwards, Yueru walked slowly to the wide square with light steps.

After arriving, Yueru stood quietly beside Xingyan.

Yueru turned her head slightly and glanced at Xingyan who was seriously answering questions for everyone, a faint smile appearing on the corner of her mouth.

Then, she would add a few key pieces of information from time to time, and the tacit cooperation between her and Xingyan was seamless.

One of them was gentle and patient, the other was concise and to the point. They explained the originally complicated problem clearly and understandably, allowing the confused tribesmen to suddenly understand.

In fact, all of this was specially arranged by Matthew.

He knew very well that if he wanted the Mangcang people to better adapt to future life, he must teach them how to complete various tasks in advance.

Therefore, he carefully designed these tasks that seemed simple but actually contained profound meanings, and asked Xing Yan and Yue Rulai to explain them to everyone.

Moreover, Matthew had anticipated this and therefore specially attached corresponding rewards to each task.

In this way, the enthusiasm of the tribesmen can be stimulated and they can work harder to complete the tasks.

After all, for most people, generous rewards always have an irresistible appeal.

After Xingyan and Yueru's detailed explanation, it didn't take long before more than a dozen people came forward and expressed their willingness to take on the task.

They carefully selected the tasks on the wooden signs, and ultimately chose those that were relatively simple and easy to complete.

Perhaps because it was their first attempt, everyone was still a little cautious and did not dare to easily challenge tasks that were too difficult.

However, most of the remaining people did not accept the mission immediately.

They either gathered together and discussed among themselves, or silently observed the dozen or so people who had already taken on the task, as if they wanted to wait for these pioneers to return and see the situation before making a decision.

Faced with this situation, Xingyan and Yueru smiled at each other and understood each other.

They did not force others to accept the task immediately, but nodded to each other, turned around and left the square together, walking towards Matthew's residence.

The wooden sign stood quietly in the center of the square, as if it had become an indispensable part of the place.

Although occasionally someone would go to Matthew's residence after receiving a mission, such situations were very rare.

Sometimes, you might not see one or two people doing this for several days or even more than ten days.

Time flies, and before I knew it, more than a month has passed.

At this time, those tribesmen who had bravely taken on the mission and set foot in the human world returned to the Spirit Island one after another.

The first thing they did after returning was to rush to find Matthew, hand over the completed task to him, and happily receive their share of the generous reward.

However, this is not the end.

These tribesmen who had just returned from the human world couldn't wait to share what they saw and heard in the human world with other tribesmen.

They sat together and vividly described the prosperous scenes, strange customs and various thrilling experiences in the human world.

As for those tribesmen who had never set foot in the human world, they opened their eyes wide, listened with fascination, and their hearts were filled with longing and curiosity.

At the same time, the task on the wooden sign also quietly changed.

The original complex and difficult tasks have now all been replaced by simpler and easier tasks.

This change undoubtedly attracted the attention of more tribesmen, and before long, the number of people coming to accept tasks began to gradually increase.

For these tribesmen, the rewards for the mission are certainly important, but being able to leave the Spirit Island early and experience the mysterious and colorful outside world firsthand is the most critical factor.

Unexpectedly, even the four elders accepted those seemingly simple tasks and left Lingdao one after another.

However, Matthew stayed quietly in his room and never took a step out.

Not long ago, the dozen or so people who left earlier finally returned.

Although the degree of completion of the tasks they brought back varied, through communicating with them, Matthew still had a general understanding of the current situation in the human world.

At present, the demon army is still rampant in every corner of the human world, bringing endless disasters and suffering to the human world.

The Demon-Slaying Temple no longer exists, and the demon army's main target now becomes the God-Slaying Temple.

It is worth mentioning that in addition to the fierce confrontation between the two sides, many emerging forces have quietly emerged like mushrooms after a rain.

These forces are not under the control of the Temple of Slaughter and carry out their activities completely independently.

What’s even more interesting is that some of these forces actually received support from the Temple of Slaughtering Gods, so their strength was rapidly enhanced and their development momentum was extremely rapid.

Faced with the continuous and fierce attacks of the demon army, the Temple of Slaughtering Gods not only did not retreat, but its sphere of influence continued to expand steadily.

Almost all the monks in the human world have heard about this news.

Therefore, when these tribesmen went deep into the human world to inquire, they could naturally obtain relevant information easily.

Another piece of news is to ensure the continuation of the human race.

Many mortals were taken to a newly emerged city.

That city was not founded by the God-Slaying Temple, and those tribesmen did not find out much information about the city.

It seems that according to them, the city is very mysterious.

As for what happened, Matthew didn't know.

However, many of the tasks he issued later were about that city.

Maybe I'll bring back some news later.
