Chapter 74: Rewards for Plum Blossom Branches [Please collect]
When Duan Xinghe and Twelve ran to Wumeishan Bay, they found that the August Tower Boat had already disappeared into the horizon.
The atmosphere at that time was very embarrassing.
"My uncle, didn't you say it's okay to be buried in the soil on the ninth day of the lunar month?" Twelve shouted towards Duan Xinghe with no tears in his eyes.
"What the hell, how did I know that the assessment would end early? That guy Lao Zhuo didn't inform me earlier."
"Both the original poster and Chuba have contacted you. Who do you blame for sleeping like a pig?"
Twelve was unable to complain and squatted on the ground, at a loss.
"Don't worry, I'll contact Lao Zhuo right away and ask him to bring the boat back to pick us up."
"You guys take yourself too seriously, don't you? Who cares about you?"
Twelve discovered that Duan Xinghe was definitely missing a muscle in his mind.
I thought he was joking, but I didn't expect that he actually contacted Zhuo Bufan and said to Zhuo Bufan.
"Lao Zhuo, go and talk to the landlord quickly and bring the boat back to pick us up."
Zhuo Bufan, who was on the other side of the sound-transmitting snail, howled unceremoniously after hearing this.
"You two are stupid, crush the positioning crystal and come back."
When the two heard this, they suddenly realized that the positioning crystal had such magical powers.
They took out the positioning crystal from the ring and crushed it together.
Suddenly, a silvery white light enveloped the whole body.
…
When Duan Xinghe and August Twelve appeared on the teleportation platform, they immediately attracted everyone's attention.
After Grandma Qiu's inquiry, the glorious deeds of the two fools quickly spread throughout the Qiuti Hall.
"You three are really weird. You can even think of burying yourself alive to pass the test. You are laughing so hard, hahahaha!"
In the team at the August Tower, on the fifth day of August, a man who looked domineering laughed at the side.
This guy had ridiculed Zhuo Bufan and the others when they first entered Wumei Mountain.
Upon hearing this, Zhuo Bufan sneered: "Haha, although their behavior is a little weird, they still passed the test. What about you?"
When I heard this on the fifth day of August, I immediately frowned and my eyes showed a cold light.
In this end-of-season assessment, a total of ten people from the three-month building passed the assessment due to the attack from the Beast Demon Island.
Among them, there are four people in the August Tower, Zhuo Bufan, Duan Xinghe, Twelve, and Chuyi.
Although Duan Xinghe and Twelve's actions were ridiculed by others, they actually passed the examination.
And on the fifth day of August, they had already been eliminated early. In order to escape from the jaws of a manticore tiger, he crushed the positioning crystal.
"Boy, don't be arrogant. Otherwise, I might be rude to you at the year-end conference." August 5 looked at Zhuo Bufan with a cold face.
"Year-end meeting?" Zhuo Bufan was stunned for a moment.
"The year-end conference is the most important competitive conference in Four Seasons Mountain and River. This conference does not depend on luck, but on strength." Twelve on the side explained.
"So, there are still three months?" Zhuo Bufan said.
"That's right, there are still three months left. At the year-end conference, I will slowly settle accounts with you."
On the fifth day of August, he arrogantly stretched out his finger and pointed at Zhuo Bufan. For this end-of-season assessment, he only blamed his bad luck for meeting the people from Troll Demon Island.
But the year-end conference is the arena ranking conference, and what will be seen then will only be strength.
That's why he dared to arrogantly declare a challenge to Zhuo Bufan on the fifth day of August.
At this time, Zhuo Bufan naturally would not give up. Since the other party has issued a challenge, he must accept the challenge even if he faces difficulties.
"Then we'll see."
This was Zhuo Bufan's answer, his tone seemed very calm, and he seemed to have no fear.
…
"Silence, is everyone here?"
Grandma Qiu, the leader of the Autumn Hall, suddenly spoke, her voice like thunder, shocking everyone in the room.
"This end-of-season assessment ended early due to special reasons. However, there are still many elite disciples who survived to the end. You will receive a generous end-of-season assessment reward, one hundred thousand taels of spiritual stones."
As soon as this statement came out, the students in the audience all exclaimed.
"One hundred thousand taels of spiritual stone, which is equivalent to taking on a D-level mission alone."
"You can imagine how difficult it is to complete a D-level task alone. What a pity! I can pass it if I persist for a while."
"Tch, isn't it just a D-level mission? I also completed an A-level mission. Have I ever shown off?"
The person speaking was August 15th, and the Seven Heroes of August did work together to complete a Class A mission.
The bounty for that mission was two million spiritual stones, but he only received less than one hundred thousand spiritual stones. Because one person took away one million on the first day of August.
The rewards for combined tasks are not necessarily divided equally. Sometimes they are distributed according to work. That Class A mission was able to kill the target with almost one person's effort on the first day of August.
August 15th is just a soy sauce fight. So even a reward of 100,000 spirit stones is still a huge amount of income for him.
He said it didn't matter, but in his heart he was already extremely jealous.
"Next, for the Risheng whose name I read, please come forward and accept the reward."
After Grandma Qiu finished speaking, she took out a small book, which recorded the names of the students who passed the test this time.
"The seventh day of July!"
The so-called name is just a code name.
After reciting, a tall and thin man walked out of the team with a gloomy aura. From Granny Qiu's hand, he got a crystal card without soul engraving and one hundred thousand spiritual stones stored in it.
Everyone looked at it with envy.
Then Granny Qiu began to distribute the rewards one by one. Finally, when she arrived at Zhuo Bufan, she shouted: "The eighth day of August!"
Zhuo Bufan slowly walked out of the team, and all the envious glances came from around him. He suddenly felt like he was on a red carpet.
"This is your reward."
Granny Qiu took out a shiny white crystal card and said to Zhuo Bufan.
Zhuo Bufan took the crystal card but stayed put.
"You can go down now." Grandma Qiu said.
"I have another question."
Under the attention of everyone, Zhuo Bufan suddenly took out the plum blossom branch from the ring.
When he took out the plum blossom branch, the whole audience was confused at first. But then someone exclaimed.
"Plum blossom branches? Is it possible? Could it be that those are the plum blossom branches of the plum tree in the center of Wumei Mountain?"
When one person shouted, everyone reacted immediately.
Before the assessment started, the three posters did say that there was a "Plum Blossom Branch" task in this end-of-season assessment.
Whoever can pick a branch from the plum tree in the hinterland of Wumei Mountain will have his reward doubled.
"No way? Did Lao Zhuo get that plum blossom branch?" Duan Xinghe opened his mouth wide and asked in surprise.
"How is this possible? Wumei Mountain is surrounded by dangers and fog. Once inside, you can't even find the direction. How did he enter the hinterland?"
"Yes, not to mention the hallucinations, monsters and other tests. Just surviving is already difficult."
"This is impossible. There is an eight-hundred-year-old plum demon guarding there. If he goes there, it will only lead to death."
"That's right, he might have picked a plum blossom branch at random and then faked it."
"If that's the case, then this kid is too cunning and extremely shameless."
…
Even before Granny Qiu started to verify it, the fifty or so people on the deck were already making a fuss.
Boom!
"quiet!"
I heard Granny Qiu suddenly put down the wooden stick in her hand, and an invisible wave of energy shocked everyone's souls. The whole place fell into deathly silence again.
Then Granny Qiu looked at Zhuo Bufan, she squinted her eyes, slightly curved her mouth, and said, "Did you really pick this from the plum tree in the hinterland?"
After hearing this, Zhuo Bufan shrugged and said, "You can check it at will."
After speaking, he handed the plum blossom branch to Granny Qiu.
Grandma Qiu took the plum blossom branch, then slowly opened her eyes and looked at the plum blossom branch in front of her blankly.
"What is the old woman doing?"
asked the September host standing behind Granny Qiu.
After hearing this, the Qiyue Hall Master on the side scolded him in a low voice: "Shut up, that's the Hall Master's 'One Leaf Knows Autumn' method."
"The hall master can see the place where it comes from through the plum blossom branches."
After a while, Granny Qiu's empty eyes regained their luster. Then a faint smile appeared on his face.
Then she raised the plum blossom branch in her hand high and said, "It's real."
As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was speechless! They all showed expressions of disbelief.
"Really? How did he do it?"
"Incredible, this is simply unbelievable. How did he get this plum branch from the eight-hundred-year-old plum demon?"
"Are you kidding me? I don't believe it. I don't believe it either."
"It's the eighth day of August, right? I remember it. He's such an interesting man."
…
Whether you believe it or not.
After this incident, Zhuo Bufan finally became famous in Four Seasons Mountains and Rivers.
