Chapter 12: Visiting the task centre.
Twelve hours had passed since Mark had begun to meditate and his eyes slowly opened to the darkness breaking through the cracks in the walls.
His body started shaking violently as he tried to wake up, the spiritual energy in his body squirmed around flooding through his muscles strengthening them one by one.
His blood coursed violently for what felt like hours but was really a few seconds.
Mark's body finally felt like it was sinking into a sea of energy with infinite power in each of his limbs.
As marks opened fully he flashed a happy smile, he had successfully crossed the checkpoint and become a small warrior.
''Hahaha'' Mark laughed wildly, this was the first major checkpoint for him since he came into this world.
Becoming a warrior represents a completely different social status than an ordinary person with spiritual energy. It also allowed a person's body to be further perfected with all the muscles being tempered as the Rank increased.
'System recall my exercising clone and shows me my status' Mark didn't hesitate and excitedly called out.
[Status
Name:Mark Ashfield
Combat Power: 150 (230)
Cultivation: Small Warrior Rank 1
Strands of Energy: 23 ]
His base combat power had exploded above one hundred and the total combat power would easily allow Mark to create 38 clones at the peak strength of ordinary people or over 8 with strength enough to hunt sparking rodents.
This was already an incredible force, if only Mark had clothes…
However he finally decided to start to earn more credits.
He gritted his teeth and said to the last dressed clone to take his watch and make his way to the task centre in the school. Originally he didn't wish to take the tasks before school had properly started, however there was only one more day remaining and his strength had grown too quickly for him to wait until he could afford enough outfits.
Mark had already sensed the hunting clone returning home so he decided it was fine for him to split into more clones.
'System, split me into 33 clones'
As Mark said that he felt a sense of powerlessness, much larger than the previous split. His strength had returned to the strength of an ordinary person.
However 33 naked versions of himself formed in front of him. He ordered them all to begin basic exercises while he waited for the clone to go and receive a task.

The clone sent out to receive the task had finally made his way to the task center.
It was a large assembly hall with a row of tablets placed at the back of the room and a small counter where people could deposit items for the rewards.
It was late at night so the hall was mostly empty, except a few people walking in to deposit some tasks. Some were holding large piles of various utensils obviously hand crafted. While others were holding various herbs and plants or even some parts of creatures.
He made his way to a nearby tablet and scanned the watch in his hand in front of the camera. Immediately an ID number popped up followed by a small number 0 in the corner.
This represents the number of tasks completed by the user.
The higher the number, the higher commission you can receive from the task.
He once again clicked on the screen and a list of tasks popped up.
(Materials will be provided)
(0) Produce bowels (0) Produce Cloth Rags (0) Produce…
There was a huge list of products that can be produced and traded for credits. However each was the same, they required 20 of the product to be handed in for 50 credits.
Luckily the materials to produce the product will be provided however no one dared to steal the materials as they would result in a permanent mark on their tasks preventing them from ever getting anymore.
The clone clicked accept the task to produce cloth rags on the screen causing an alert to pop up on his watch leading him towards the counter.
''Hello, how can I help you ?'' A beautiful young girl said from behind the counter.
''I'm here to accept a task'' The clone replied, slightly raising his voice to make it different from Mark's usual voice.
''Ok just scan your watch here and it will automatically accept the task.''
He nodded and quickly scanned his watch. After seeing the task pop up the girl quickly bent down and picked up a small box.
''This is enough cloth to produce 300 rags if you don't make any mistakes, the minimum requirement is to produce 200 rags otherwise you will be given a demerit for stealing resources.''
The clone nodded to show he understood and took the box and left quickly.

*BANG* *BANG* *BANG*
Mark moved his head towards the opening door and saw a clone dressed in a school uniform walk in. However this wasn't the clone who went out to take the task, it was the clone who had gone out hunting.
Over its shoulder a small bag was hung filled with the freshly purchased outfits and a small steel knife was tied to its waist with a coarse plant string.
''Haha great! System withdrew the clone'' Mark laughed out loud and withdrew the clone.
As the clone burst out into energy, the bag clattered with a small crystal stone however the knife tied to the side of the clone disappeared.
Mark immediately absorbed the memories of the clone and understood what had happened. He excitedly opened the bag containing the clothes and quickly threw them towards two recently summoned clones.
However he also picked up the crystal stone in front of him and studied it slightly. He sat back into a lotus position and held the stone in the palm of his hand.
Unlike when he usually meditated and absorbed energy from the surroundings, this time the energy began to flow from the palm of his right hand. The energy was much purer and plentiful than what he usually absorbs.
Mark sat in a trance absorbing the energy. Unaware of the situation happening in the school library.
