My Cultivation System

Chapter 74 - Punching Bag Mission For Spark



Next day morning,

Inside Henrick's cultivation abode,

​​

'Eek eek'

'Eek eek'

'Aargh'

"Why are you shouting this early? Please stop it and let me sleep for a while,"

Henrick, who was still sleeping on his stonen bed was irritated by the baby fire monkey's shouts and asked it to stop making noises very early in the morning.

'It has become a habit for you to shout early in the morning,'

After waking up from the deep sleep by Spark's shouts, Henrick was having trouble sleeping and with an annoyed expression on his face he got up from the stone bed.

As soon as he got up from the stone bed, he looked at the baby fire monkey, which was standing near the hot water pool.

'Not again,'

Seeing that the baby fire monkey was shouting at its own reflection in the pool once again, Henrick shook his head before doing a few regular exercises.

'Ding,

 New daily missions are generated. Please check them, master.

Just as he completed his exercises, he got the system notification about the daily missions which made him excited.

Since it was mentioned new daily missions, he became both excited and curious about them and immediately thought, 'Daily missions.'

'Ding,

 Daily missions,

 1) Circulate the 'Blazing sun sutra' five times without taking a single break between then.

 2) Endure the skill 'Fire fist' from the baby fire monkey for 10 times.

 3) Endure the skill 'Scorching kick' from the baby fire monkey for 10 times.

As soon as he thought about the daily missions, the system sent a holographic screen with three daily missions on it just like always.

"Huh?"

However, when he saw the three daily missions on the holographic screen, Henrick felt a little weird with today's daily missions.

'These three missions are fully focusing on making me endure pain,'

With a glance, he could say that today's daily missions were definitely weird and slowly pondered about the daily missions one by one.

'Circulate the cultivation technique for 5 times? Are you kidding?'

Yesterday, he nearly lost his consciousness while circulating the 'Blazing sun sutra' for three times; however, today, it required him to circulate 5 times which was definitely the hardest daily mission he had ever received until now.

'As for the other two, it is making me a punching bag for Spark,'

Henrick still didn't get what the system was planning by giving these daily missions.

'Is it trying to increase the endurance of my body towards pains? Or is it helping Spark perfect its two skills 'Scorching kick' and 'Fire fist'?'

After closely observing the daily missions, Henrick only thought about these two options which were both helpful to him. So, he stopped bothering about it. 

"The higher the pain, the higher the reward will be," Nevertheless, Henrick decided to complete them even though he felt they were weird.

"So, which mission should I take first?"

However, now, the problem was which missions he should pick in order to complete all the three daily missions in less than 16 hours.

That's right! Since the daily missions came 8 hours late, he still had 16 hours left to finish them.

'If I take the second and third missions and by any chance, I got injured, then I would have no chance in completing the daily missions,' Henrick carefully started thinking about the order of the mission and soon came to a conclusion, "I will start the missions in the order mentioned on the holographic screen."

Because, the pain from circulating the 'Blazing sun sutra', would subside after taking rest for a couple of hours. So, he decided to do that mission first.

"Spark, stop staring at your own reflection in the pool and practice your moves on this,"

He didn't directly start circulating the 'Blazing sun sutra'; instead he shouted at the baby fire monkey to stop staring at its reflection and threw a practice dummy at it to practice its moves.

The practice dummy was one of the rewards from the newbie gift package which was unlocked after he became a cultivator.

"If you destroy it 3 three times, I will give you this fruit,"

While saying that he took out the high-level fire fruit from his inventory and tempted the baby fire monkey with it.

'Eek eek'

As soon as it saw the high-level fire fruit in Henrick's hands, the baby fire monkey became excited and jumped at Henrick in order to take it from his hands.

'Hehe,'

"Not that early. Complete the task of destroying the practice dummy three times, I will give you this...okay?"

However, before the baby fire monkey could grab the fruit in Henrick's hands, he sent the fruit back into his inventory and pointed at the practice dummy and once again repeated the mission to get the high-level fire fruit.

'Eek eek'

The baby fire monkey angrily shouted at Henrick.

"I know I know. But, still, you need to finish the task to get the fruit," Henrick maintained a small smile from the beginning and replied to the baby fire monkey's shouts.

'Eek eek'

Finally, the baby fire monkey understood that it would not get the fruit until it finished the mission. So, it took the practice dummy with it to the other end of the cultivation abode and started using its attacks to destroy the practice dummy.

The practice dummy was not a regular practice dummy, rather it was a special one that repairs itself whenever it was destroyed and becomes stronger. So, Henrick gave the baby fire monkey the mission of destroying it three times as he knew it would take the baby fire monkey at least 6 hours.

"Within these 6 hours, I will finish circulating the 'Blazing sin sutra' for five times and complete the first daily mission,"

Henrick nodded his head at the baby fire monkey, which was practicing with the practice dummy and went back to his stone bed to complete the first daily mission within the next six hours.
