"Welcome, customer, what can I get for you?"
Inside the Qingke Hall, the shop assistant, disguised as a shrine maiden, smiled at Gorou as he entered.
"Shop assistant, I need some books on agricultural production..."
Gorou entered the shop, looked around, and saw the neatly arranged bookshelves. He couldn't help but admire it in his heart.
At a glance, there were at least a thousand books, truly magnificent!
Gorou's first impression of this bookstore was very good. It seemed that the books he wanted to buy could all be found here.
It's just that...
The shop assistant's smile looked a little strange.
Although very enthusiastic, Gorou felt an inexplicable awkwardness.
Gorou suppressed this awkwardness and made up his mind to finish the matter quickly and leave.
"These specialized books have circulation and dissemination restrictions. Our store needs to verify the customer's qualifications and permissions. A 1-star permission allows borrowing, and a 2-star permission allows purchasing. What is your name, sir? I can help you check..." Read books here.
The shrine maiden shop assistant smiled at Gorou. This was a rule of the Qingke Hall, and she was not deceiving him.
"Cough, cough, my name is Wu... Da Lang, yes, Wu Da Lang. I just arrived in Inazuma and probably don't have permission here yet. Shop assistant, I'd like to know how to get permission?"
Gorou had a change of thought and gave himself a pseudonym to avoid exposing his true identity. wap.kanshuwu.net
"I see. Mr. Wu Da Lang, please don't rush. It's not difficult to get permission. You only need to complete the委托 tasks issued by Qingke Hall and accumulate points. Once you reach a certain standard, you will get permission. For 1-star borrowing permission, you only need to reach 100 points..."
The shrine maiden shop assistant brought the task list for him to view.
Gorou frowned as he looked closely.
It wasn't that the tasks were difficult, but rather they were very simple. For example, weeding the crops in Konda Village, watering a certain old man's vegetable garden...
The only difficulty was that the points settled for these tasks were very small. It would take at least a month to accumulate 100 points.
Coincidentally, this month was the golden period for post-war agricultural development on Watatsumi Island. If it was delayed by a month, it would delay the implementation of many policies and have a significant impact on the economic development of Watatsumi Island.
"Shop assistant, can you think of a way? I need these books urgently..."
Gorou was extremely anxious, regretting that he couldn't split himself into several. Otherwise, he would have completed all these tasks in a day.
"There is a way. Qingke Hall has encountered similar problems before. In order to effectively solve the difficulties of the people, Qingke Hall launched a personalized blind box lottery system. However, this system is still in the trial stage and has not been officially promoted..."
"By accepting tasks from the blind box, you will enjoy a 2x blind box point bonus and a certain point reward based on the task difficulty.
For example, if you draw the task of weeding the crops in Konda Village from the blind box, which originally only had a reward of 1.5 points, you will now receive a 1.5x 2 blind box point bonus, plus a 1 point difficulty subsidy, for a total of 4 points.
The only condition for the blind box is that you must complete the currently drawn task before you can draw the next blind box task. This is also a consideration for fairness. We hope customers can understand."
"In addition, there are some private委托 from other people in the blind box. They publish委托 with their own points. If you draw one, you can decide whether to accept it or not. There is no mandatory requirement..."
The shrine maiden shop assistant informed the other party of the specific details of the blind box system, which was indeed a trial system that Qingke Hall was studying.
The blind box system was very attractive, and the shrine maiden shop assistant was not worried that the other party would not be tempted.
"Then I'll choose the blind box委托."
Gorou had some confidence in his own strength. Drawing blind box tasks would allow him to accumulate 100 points faster. If he encountered a difficult private委托, he could simply refuse it.
"Of course, we follow the customer's wishes, please go ahead..."
The shrine maiden shop assistant smiled and placed a black box in front of him.
The outside of the box was wrapped in several layers of black paper, making it impossible to see the contents from the outside.
Gorou swallowed his saliva, feeling a little nervous about the unknown. He reached in and drew out a slip of paper.
[Qingke Hall委托 Task: Help Old Man Wang in Konda Village weed the grass.
Task Location: Southwest of Konda Village.
Task Contact Person: Old Man Wang.
Specific Task: Weed one mu of land.
Task Reward: 1.5 points.
Difficulty Subsidy: 1 point.]
Gorou looked at the task he drew and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was a Qingke Hall委托 task, which he had seen on the Qingke Hall task list.
Drawing this task from the blind box allowed him to earn an extra 2.5 points compared to accepting it directly. This was not a loss!
At the same time, Gorou felt a faint sense of regret. It was a pity he didn't draw a private委托 task, because, as the shop assistant had explained earlier, the point rewards for private委托 tasks were generally very generous.
If he was lucky enough, he might be able to accumulate 100 points by completing two private委托 tasks.
Regrets aside, he had to complete this task as soon as possible, otherwise he couldn't draw the next one.
Gorou ran out of Qingke Hall quickly and headed towards Konda Village.
After Gorou's figure disappeared, the shrine maiden shop assistant quickly stepped forward and closed the shop door.
Then, she poured out all the slips of paper from the blind box and replaced them with pre-prepared private委托 slips.
After doing all this, the shrine maiden shop assistant opened the door, sat back in her original position, and smiled as if nothing had happened, waiting for Gorou to return.
An hour later, Gorou returned to Qingke Hall, panting, and handed the wooden token he received for completing the weeding task to the shop assistant.
Gorou had a momentary illusion: why was weeding more tiring than fighting?
In order to rush, he went all out, compressing a task that an ordinary person would take 2 hours to complete into one hour. Old Man Wang, who posted the委托, was stunned.
"Okay, I have recorded all 4 points earned from this task. Customer, you can draw the next blind box task."
The shrine maiden shop assistant stopped writing and placed a new blind box.
Gorou drew again and opened it. He felt as if he had been struck by lightning and stood there in a daze.
