Chapter 84 - I Didn’t Plan on Competing for Second Place

n

n

n

nThe envious gazes of the Construction Division members immediately landed on Xu Xuan.

n

nAt this moment, the gentle woman from the Yang City could not help but have a smug expression.

n

nDuring this period of time, her luck had been very good. She had often been able to find a large number of Black Frost Flowers. Moreover, the success rate of her potion production was also very high. On average, she would successfully make one high grade potion and three ordinary grade potions for every five potions she tried to make.

n

nAlthough the failure rate was 20%, her results were already better than most people who had the medicinal skill.

n

nSilver Fox leaned over and whispered, “What’s the grade of your medicinal skill?”

n

nIf the grade of one’s medicinal skill was high, the success rate of the potion would be higher, and there would also be a higher chance for a high grade potion to be made.

n

nXu Xuan smiled. “It’s just rare blue. My great-grandfather was an experienced TCM doctor before the global digitization. After the global digitization, his medicinal skill directly reached the precious purple grade. After that, his medicinal skill had always been passed on to the next generation.

n

nAt this point, she looked ashamed. “Unfortunately, I didn’t try my best when I was learning from my father back then so my medicinal skill is still only rare blue grade. I can’t help but feel that I’ve disappointed my grandfather.”

n

nSilver Fox could not help but support his forehead.

n

nDamn, he did not expect the other party to have such a powerful ancestor.

n

nOn the other hand, he had learned his medicinal skill from an old logistician during his free time.

n

nAt first, the other party was unwilling to teach him. However, after the Silver Fox offered general coins, the other party was willing to teach him with a smile.

n

nThe old martial artist’s medicinal skill was very ordinary, only of an uncommon green grade. After imparting it to him, the old martial artist’s lifespan had also reached its limit and he quickly passed away.

n

nSilver Fox was somewhat talented in this aspect. In the end, he was able to upgrade his medicinal skill to the uncommon green grade.

n

nOf course, the grade of the medicinal skill was only one aspect. One also had to invest experience points to increase their level in order to make high-level potions.

n

nHowever, for the vast majority of people, experience points were simply more important than their lives. They did not even have enough to invest in their damage skills. Why would they waste their points on supplementary skills like the medicinal skill and forging skill?

n

n“I’m too old. I can’t compare to young people like you.” Silver Fox smiled helplessly. However, his face quickly lit up. “But I still have so many potions. It should be easy for me to get second place, right?”

n

nXu Xuan also nodded. “If nothing unexpected happens, you should be able to get second place.”

n

nAmong the current martial artists in Dragon Sea City, other than Silver Fox and Xu Xuan, many other martial artists also had the medicinal skill.

n

nHowever, their levels were not high and they were unable to enter the Falling Thunder Mountain. They were also unable to make High-Level Ice Resistance Potions. The battle merits they obtained were naturally unable to compare with Silver Fox and Xu Xuan.

n

nAt this moment, Lin Xuan and Flame Explosion had already arrived.

n

n“I didn’t expect the top three to have additional rewards. Moreover, it’s the Water Prevention Pearl that is produced in Drowning City.”

n

n“In the future, I might very well go to Drowning City. The Water Prevention Pearl is quite useful to me.” Lin Xuan was rather surprised and nodded slightly.

n

nHe naturally would not miss out on a reward that he could obtain easily.

n

n“Shield Ghost is here!”

n

n“There’s also Flame Explosion!”

n

n“Everyone, move aside.”

n

nOutside the crowd, someone saw Shield Ghost and Flame Explosion and hurriedly made way.

n

nThe chattering members opened up a path for those two to pass, and their eyes revealed admiration.

n

nShield Ghost and Flame Blast were from the White Crane Town Construction Division. They had arrived in Dragon Sea City not long ago to provide support.

n

nAs soon as they arrived, they entered the secret realm of the Lightning Mountain and lured away the demonic beasts surrounding Bai Xinghe, Xu Xuan, and the others, helping them escape.

n

nLater, they heard that Shield Ghost and Flame Blast were never harmed in the incident.

n

nSuch people deserved their admiration.

n

nIn the eyes of many people, Shield Ghost and Flame Explosion’s prestige and influence were already comparable to Bai Xinghe, who was at level nine Sixth Realm.

n

nWhen Silver Fox saw Lin Xuan and Lin Xuan, he immediately revealed the expression of a teacher.

n

n“I thought you said you knew how to make potions yourself. So, how many bottles did you make?”

n

nLin Xuan shook his head. “It’s average. It didn’t reach the number I expected.”

n

nHe’d expected at least three thousand bottles of each in a month.

n

nHe had overestimated the efficiency of the medicinal table.

n

nXu Xuan laughed. “Old fox, Shield Ghost must have focused his points on combat. He probably didn’t invest a lot of experience points into his medicinal skill. Why do you even want to compete with him?”

n

nSilver Fox laughed, “In terms of combat, I’m naturally inferior to Shield Ghost. Is it so bad for me to try to feel superior by comparing my medicinal skill to his?”

n

n“Hahaha!” The members nearby all laughed when they heard this.

n

nAfter the laughter ended, Silver Fox slapped the armor on Lin Xuan’s shoulder before speaking again.

n

nSilver Fox said earnestly and smugly, “Young man, the future is yours. However, I’m definitely going to get second place this time!”

n

nLin Xuan could not help but laugh. “Don’t worry, I won’t fight you for second place.”

n

nSilver Fox nodded repeatedly when he heard this and was very impressed with Lin Xuan’s response.

n

nShield Ghost was still a loyal person!

n

n“Shield Ghost, Flame Explosion, you two are also here?” Chu Pengcheng smiled and nodded when he saw them.

n

nLu Luo and Wen Xiong also squeezed to their side and consoled, “Don’t worry, it’s fine no matter how many potions you make. No one is going to compare you to anyone.”

n

nLin Xuan did not know whether to laugh or cry.

n

nWhy was he being comforted at this moment?

n

nWen Xiong could not help but say, “How many potions have you made?”

n

n“Not really.” Lin Xuan casually took out bottles of potions.

n

n10, 20, 30…

n

nEveryone was shocked.

n

n100, 200, 300…

n

nEveryone’s expressions gradually became even more shocked.

n

n1,000, 2,000…

n

nEveryone was completely stunned.

n

n“What are you waiting for? Hurry up and count,” Lin Xuan said curiously.

n

n“Oh!”

n

nThe worker in charge of the statistics suddenly reacted.

n

nHe had been counting them one by one just now, and a detailed number quickly appeared in his mind.

n

n“Basic Fire Wound Potion, 1045 bottles!”

n

n“Basic Ice Resistance Potion, 1083 bottles!”

n

n“High-Level Ice Resistance Potion, 371 bottles!”

n

n“Total battle merits… 14,350 points!”

n

nEveryone was dumbfounded.

n

nEveryone stood rooted to the ground in confusion.

n

nHow many points?

n

n14,350 points?

n

nThey looked down at their battle merits cards that were less than a fraction of the other party’s. Their saliva and tears fell simultaneously.

n

nThey couldn’t help but envy the other party!

n

n“These 100 bottles of High-Level Ice Resistance Potion were made with the Black Frost Flower Lu Luo and Wen Xiong provided to me . According to our previous agreement, I’ll get 70 percent and they’ll get the rest.”

n

nAs he spoke, Lin Xuan took out 100 High-Level Ice Resistance Potions from his consciousness space.

n

nEveryone :”…”

n

nDamn!

n

nThe worker in charge of the statistics was directly dumbfounded.

n

nWhat the hell?

n

n“100 bottles of High-Level Ice Resistance Potion, a total of 1,000 battle merits. Shield Ghost will receive 700 points, Lu Luo and Wen Xiong will receive 150 points.”

n

n“Shield Ghost’s current battle merits are 15050 points!”

n

nAfter recalculating, a loud voice sounded again.

n

nThe smile on Xu Xuan’s face froze.

n

nSilver Fox’s smile froze too.

n

n“This guy was right when he said that he wouldn’t compete with me for second place. He’s freaking competing for first place!” Silver Fox wanted to cry.

n
