Chapter 1285: Chapter 1285: Law Enforcement Hall
"I see, Senior Brother’s advice will be remembered by your junior."
Lin Chen looked at Cheng Liang and said, clasping his fists.
"Although Senior Sister acted out and injured someone, the damage wasn’t serious. The compensation doesn’t fall under the jurisdiction of the Law Enforcement Hall, so why was Senior Sister Zi Ling targeted by the Law Enforcement Hall?"
Lin Chen suddenly recalled today’s elder; no doubt he was from the Law Enforcement Hall.
And Zi Ling was warned by that person, clearly drawing the attention of the Law Enforcement Hall.
The troubles caused by Zi Ling weren’t severe; generally speaking, the Law Enforcement Hall shouldn’t be involved.
"Alas, you’re right; the mistake made by Senior Sister doesn’t warrant intervention from the Law Enforcement Hall."
"But Senior Sister often causes trouble, this month being the third time."
"So the deacon disciple managing this matter reported it to the Law Enforcement Hall, fearing we would default, directly inviting the elders of the Hall to intervene."
Cheng Liang said with some frustration.
After all, those deacons’ behavior was somewhat over the top.
Except for a past incident where they owed some Spirit Stones and Senior Sister Zi Ling was confined for a month, such situations have not occurred again.
But because of that previous incident, these deacons specifically target Senior Sister Zi Ling, immediately bringing out the Law Enforcement Hall elders whenever she makes a mistake.
Perhaps it was because Zi Ling typically didn’t care much for other disciples, causing dissatisfaction among them.
"Rest assured, Junior Brother, since that incident, we haven’t really encountered such circumstances again; the elders of the Law Enforcement Hall won’t target us."
Cheng Liang looked at Lin Chen and said gently, indicating that Lin Chen shouldn’t worry.
However, upon hearing Cheng Liang’s specific explanation, Lin Chen felt uneasy inside.
He had a vague feeling that the Law Enforcement Hall was indeed targeting the Yellow Hall.
And if the Law Enforcement Hall was as fearsome as Cheng Liang described, the Yellow Hall might be facing a calamity.
"Junior Brother, you’ve just settled into the hall; are you planning to go out for study?"
Cheng Liang looked at Lin Chen, inquiring as a senior brother, naturally wanting to help his junior brother.
"Oh, not to study courses, but to walk around Yunlong Heavenly Palace and get to know it better."
Lin Chen replied.
"I see, in that case, why don’t you follow me, Junior Brother."
"Along the way, I can introduce various places within Yunlong Heavenly Palace to you."
Cheng Liang said with a smile.
With a free guide, Lin Chen was certainly pleased.
Being new, if he were to slowly learn about Yunlong Heavenly Palace by himself, it would undoubtedly take a lot of time. Now, with Cheng Liang providing introductions, he could save a lot of time.
"The Law Enforcement Hall is perhaps the hall we interact with most frequently. It not only offers punitive measures but also serves as the place to issue and accept tasks."
"In daily routines, we can take tasks here to earn Sky Palace Contribution Points, and we can also post tasks for other disciples to complete."
"Upon completing a task, the Sky Palace Contribution Points earned are the hard currency within Yunlong Heavenly Palace, exchangeable for everything—from Spirit Stone Elixirs to Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills."
"To post a task, you need to pay a certain reward. Once someone completes the task, you must pay the full reward, with no backing out or inability to pay; otherwise, the task poster will not only face corresponding penalties but also be blacklisted by the Law Enforcement Hall, unable to post tasks there again."
"Contribution Points can also be privately exchanged within the sect. For instance, if you want to exchange for certain treasures but lack Contribution Points, you can purchase with Spirit Stones from other disciples and then exchange together at the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion, deducting part of your Contribution Points and part of other martial artists’ Contribution Points. This method is also permitted by Yunlong Heavenly Palace."
Very quickly, Lin Chen and Cheng Liang arrived at the Law Enforcement Hall, with Cheng Liang providing a comprehensive introduction to various aspects of Yunlong Heavenly Palace along the way, giving Lin Chen a general understanding of it.
Listening to Cheng Liang’s explanation, Lin Chen was somewhat surprised that the Contribution Points in Yunlong Heavenly Palace were indeed so valuable; one point equivalent to ten Low-grade Spirit Crystals.
That means one point is worth approximately one million Supreme Grade Spirit Stones, which is quite exaggerated.
However, thinking about it, this is Central State, not Eastern Domain; this situation seems normal.
Martial artists in Central State are indeed not on the same level as those in Eastern Domain.
Upon arriving at the Law Enforcement Hall, Lin Chen looked around, discovering the hall was quite large, with over ten areas, and the largest hall was adorned with countless light screens displaying tasks posted by various individuals.
Some tasks were private, some from the elders, and others directly posted by Yunlong Heavenly Palace.
Glancing over the tasks, Lin Chen discovered that even the least rewarding tasks exceeded five Contribution Points.
That means completing one task rewards you with five Low-grade Spirit Crystals, or perhaps even more.
In Yunlong Heavenly Palace, making money seemed this easy.
The tasks rewarding several or around ten Contribution Points are just the low-level ones, with high-level tasks rewarding over fifty or even hundreds of Contribution Points.
However, ordinary disciples should not have the qualifications to take them due to cultivation restrictions.
While Lin Chen was observing the great hall, he followed Cheng Liang to a side hall, which was the place for paying fines.
"Cheng Liang, you’re here to pay fines again?"
Cheng Liang led Lin Chen into the side hall, where a man standing at the entrance smiled at Cheng Liang and greeted him.
Cheng Liang heard the call and helplessly moved over.
The man before him was Chen Ji, a member of the Law Enforcement Hall.
The man’s job was to tally and settle fines paid by others; upon completing one person’s quota, he earned a commission, so the bigger the fine, the more he earned.
That’s why Chen Ji liked seeing Cheng Liang; Cheng Liang always came to pay fines.
"Chen Ji, I come several times a month; can’t you guys lower the fines a bit?"
