By that afternoon, Bai Chen had gotten back to his house.
He and Xu Xue Ning separated after her private jet landed at Xing Zhou airport; after that, he took a cab home.
Xu Xue Ning had actually insisted on sending him all the way home, but he had refused.
Since she thought he was a Sky Soaring Realm cultivator, letting her see his parents’ place was not a great idea.
Therefore, all things considered, Bai Chen could not help but refuse. When he got home, he received a warm welcome from his parents.
They both asked about his trip to Dong Hai Island. Bai Chen had to lie that he had gone to many places on the island, even though truthfully, he had only gone to San Hai Casino.
However, for him, going to San Hai Casino was not something he could share with his parents.
Afterwards, he went up to his room and collapsed on the bed from exhaustion. This journey felt much longer than he had expected, even though it had only been a couple of days long.
But it was not odd for Bai Chen to feel that way because not only had he gone to the Long family’s vacation home, but also to the Lunar Land sect with Xu Xue Ning. There was also the matter of killing a Sky Soaring Realm cultivator.
“After this, I’ll probably have to call Li Lin.”
Bai Chen murmured this to himself lying in bed.
It was obvious that he had not forgotten to call that adorable girl. Truthfully, throughout his journey back, he had been missing her somewhat.
“First things first, I have to look at my new mission and use the roulette bonus.”
Bai Chen sat up and let his legs hang down. He called up the Life Changing System’s window to look at it.

Bai Chen fell silent after seeing the names of the two new missions.
The fact that he leveled up did not surprise him much. The system had already notified him of this.
“Create a debt of gratitude... change someone’s life.” The young man could not help but mumble aloud.
The two new missions’ names were bizarre. They were totally different from the previous ones, which had been very specific.
At the same time, Bai Chen’s eyes swept down towards the points for completing Mission 22.
“What the...” His eyes widened instantly; his heart was pounding, “Fifty points!”
Bai Chen could not help but be surprised because this mission would yield the most points for success compared to the previous missions. The previous twenty missions were nowhere near this.
He took a deep breath and hesitated a little before clicking to view the information on Missions 21 and 22.

[Mission 21: Create a debt of gratitude]

Reward for success: Win 50 points and receive the utmost gratitude.
Penalty for failure: You will never live a peaceful life!

Bai Chen took a deep breath once more. Both his brows furrowed tightly, and his breathing was heavy and uneven.
These two new missions were vastly weirder than and different from his previous twenty.
The most notable point was they did not specify if he had to help a man or a woman. They merely referred to ‘this person’ or ‘that person’ instead.
“Or do the missions get tougher after Mission 21?” Bai Chen could not help but think that, and what he thought was quite accurate.
Of course, with missions that were harder, the rewards got higher as well. But that Bai Chen already knew.
“At least there is an arrow that points me in the right direction. It is too bad there is no exact time.”
Bai Chen sighed, but he did not give up. His only thought was to follow the arrow.
In his mind, even if he had to wait, he had to do it. Otherwise, he would have no way to level up the Life Changing System and would miss out on special skills or items.
When he thought about those special skills and items, he naturally thought of the one roulette bonus he had at the moment and did not hesitate to use it immediately.
............................................
It was five in the evening at a barbecued meat skewers stall close to the main road.
Bai Chen, dressed in a casual outfit, sat there with a smile. In front of him was a tiny square table that belonged to the barbecued meat skewers stall.
“Are you coming?”
A cute, melodious voice rang out in front of Bai Chen; the tiny face of its source showed a tinge of annoyance. This lady was none other than Li Lin. She was sitting across from Bai Chen.
If one were to ask why they were together at this time, one needed to rewind to earlier in the day. After Bai Chen finished using his roulette bonus, he called Li Lin to let her know that he had already gotten home.
After she had learned that, she made an appointment to meet him at 4:30 p.m. Bai Chen did not refuse. He already wanted to see her. The venue was his choice.
With the money he had now, Bai Chen could definitely afford to take Li Lin to any lavish restaurants of his choosing.
However, he did not do that. He chose a roadside barbecued meat skewers shop as he found this sort of shop had a good ambiance.
Bai Chen did not know if Li Lin was going to like it, but he still chose this place as their rendezvous place.
Li Lin arrived close to 5 p.m., so they had yet to place an order.
The two spoke for a bit. All they talked about was the topics Li Lin asked him about earlier.
Judging from her tone, it was obvious that she was not in the best of moods at this time.
