"100 contribution points?"

Henrick was shocked at the number of contribution points he had without his own knowledge and at the same time, he silently cursed his master for hiding such good news from him.

​​

"Yes. Every new disciple that enters the outer sect will get 10 contribution points and if they enter the muscle strengthening realm within a month, they will get another 50 contribution points," Nick nodded his head as he explained the working system of the contribution points.

"Since we are the sect leader's disciples; instead of getting 10 contribution points, we both got 50 contributions, right?" Understanding the process, Henrick guessed on how they got an additional 40 contribution points.

"Haha...that's right! That's why the master gave us more missions to complete," Nick laughed at Henrick's guess and agreed with him before continuing, "Moreover, each time we complete the missions from the mission hall, the sect will reward us with these contribution points. More missions, more contributions. So, don't curse the master for giving us more missions."

Nick could read the people very well. So, he knew that Henrick was scolding their master for giving them more missions compared to the normal outer sect disciples. So, he clearly explained what his master was trying to do.

"..."

Henrick was speechless at Nick's words and acted as he didn't hear that before asking the puppet, "Give me 10 flame poison antidote pills or resistant pills."

Nick knew Henrick was just acting as though he didn't hear what he had just said; however, he didn't say anything as he knew that Henrick would not curse their master anymore.

"The cheapest one among those types of pills cost 50 contribution points for a set of 10 pills. Do you want them or should I take out an, even more, costlier one?"

As soon as Henrick asked for the pills relating to the flame poison antidote, the pulled took a pill bottle out of thin air before informing the cost of those red-coloured pills.

"No need. I will just take these pills," Henrick felt it was already costly and didn't want to waste his valuable contribution points as he wanted to buy other things.

"Take out your student token and show it to me,"

After Henrick's confirmation, the puppet asked for his student token.

"Here,"

Henrick guessed that his student token had something to do with the contribution points. So, without asking anything, he gave it to the puppet.

"Deduct 50 contribution points," Taking the student token into its wooden hands, the puppet spoke to the token and as soon as it finished speaking, a projection of '100' appeared about the token before it was slashed and changed into 50.

"Thanks for the transaction,"

After deducting the 50 contribution points from Henrick's student token, the puppet returned it to him and thanked him.

"Nick, aren't you shopping?"

Taking his student token, Henrick turned to Nick and asked him.

"No, I am saving my contribution points for buying something. Don't ask me what it is. I will say as soon as I buy it,"

Nick knew Henrick would ask about what item he was saving the contribution points for. So, before he could even ask, he said he would not say it before he buys that item.

"Okay,"

Henrick didn't ask as he could guess what he was saving his contribution points for.

'It must be for a good cauldron,' Since Nick wants to become an alchemist, Henrick thought he would buy a cauldron with his contribution points.

For an alchemist, the first thing to refine the pills was a good cauldron and they tend to cost higher. So, Nick was trying to save his contribution points for it.

"Let's go to the beast mountain then,"

Since Nick was not going to buy anything from the contribution hall, Henrick dragged him out of the hall.

"Do you even know the direction of the beast mountain?" Nick jokingly asked Henrick because he was sure that Henrick had no clue about the direction.

"Haha...I know the way to the beast mountain," For the first time, Henrick bragged about something as he patted the baby fire monkey on his shoulder.

"Huh? So, your monkey is from the beast mountain?" Nick stopped laughing and asked Henrick.

"Yes, and it knows every inch of the beast mountain. It is a perfect guide for us during our missions," Henrick knew that it was also the first time for Nick to enter the beast mountain. So, he said that the baby fire monkey was the perfect guide for them.

"Good"

Nick nodded his head because what Henrick said was absolutely true.

Having a guide in the beast mountain would be a great help for them in completing their missions in the shortest time possible.

"So, what are we waiting for? Let's go,"

Nick was also excited for his first mission. So, he asked Henrick to run along with him.

Soon, Henrick and Nick ran towards the beast mountain and after some time, he could see a bridge connected to a mountain.

"There it is, the beast mountain,"

Nick pointed his finger at the beast mountain and said to Henrick.

"I know I know,"

Henrick already learned it was the beast mountain from the baby fire monkey. So, he nodded his head.

At the starting of the bridge to the beast mountain, there were two young men wearing light green coloured robes standing guard.

'Master, you enter the beast mountain, I will meet you after you enter it,'

As soon as the baby fire monkey saw those two young disciples, it transmitted its voice to Henrick before jumping down from his shoulder and ran towards his left direction.

'Huh? Where are you going?' Henrick tried to ask the baby fire monkey; however, it already disappeared into the distance.

"Where is your tamed beast going?" Seeing the sudden actions of the baby fire monkey, Nick asked Henrick about it.

"No need to worry. It will come as soon as we enter the beast mountain," Henrick calmly replied to Nick before walking towards the bridge.
