Combat Emperor: Zhang Yu's Journey
Chapters... 63: Back To Get Rewards
After eradicating the bandits and capturing Feng Gao, Zhang Yu and the group spent the night in the cave of the red hearted bandit headquarters while waiting for the morning. They rested utilizing the supplies left behind by the bandit group to fill the stomach.
Only after the sky became bright did they travel back by carrying a horse carriage and place Feng Gao in a large black coffin.
"Zhang Yu, what are you planning to do with your contribution points?" ask Wu Zetian.
If previously he and the two girls were inside the carriage, now he decided to accompany Zhang Yu in front.
"Don't know. Maybe it'll keep it."
"You're really just gonna keep it? Better to use it for something useful. For example going to the cultivation tower or buying resources in the treasure pavilion premises? If not, you can lend it to me. I promised to give it back, how?"
Wu Zetian circled around and finally said his goal.
Zhang Yu shook his head. "No. Don't you have a lot of gold coins? Why not just use that?"
Hmh!
"If it could be used in the academy of course I wouldn't take on missions to earn contribution points. Besides eating and drinking, everything in the academy must use contribution points as a means of payment." Wu Zetian was annoyed. His contribution points were too few to rent a single room in the cultivation tower.
The overnight room rate on the first floor is fifty contribution points. The overnight room rate on the second floor is one hundred contribution points. And the rate of the night room on the third floor was one hundred and fifty contribution points.
With a thousand five hundred new disciple bonus contribution points, Wu Zetian could stay for ten days on the third floor. But it's obviously too short. He wanted to take longer for the cultivation process to go smoothly.
"Zhang Yu, how is it? Are you ...."
"Okay, I'll follow your advice. I will go to the treasure pavilion and spend my contribution points there."
Wu Zetian was happy to hear that Zhang Yu would follow his advice. But after hearing it through to completion, the look on his face became tangled.
"Excession! Are you playing me on purpose? I'll pay him even twice as much as normal multiplication."
Doubling that normal multiplication meant rewarding one contribution point with twenty gold coins. That's very tempting. But Zhang Yu still rejected him.
"No. You better find Tang Yue in the back and offer what you have to offer me. Perhaps he was willing to exchange his contribution points for gold coins."
Wu Zetian turned his face to hear Zhang Yu instead asking him to look for Tang Yue.
That's insane! Even if it was so forced he would also not come to him to beg for contribution points.
If he had done so, he hadn't finished talking crazy attachments that would have laughed at him.
...
Nightfall.
Zhang Yu and the new group arrived at the academy when the sun had just sunk. The horse carriage was right in front of the gate as the gate slowly opened accompanied by the exit of the two guarding disciples.
"What are you carrying?" ask the two disciples while checking the black chest clingy behind.
"We captured Feng Gao and brought him back after crippling him." Wu Zetian said proudly as if he did it.
Two disciples narrowed their eyes hearing Feng Gao's name. They clearly knew this name, Feng Gao was very famous among the academy's disciples. Moreover, the story that killed dozens of students because they felt vengeance and ended up being fugitives.
"You must be playing us. How could you possibly catch Feng Gao? Even the inner group of disciples had trouble catching him, but you guys said it so lightly." The two picket disciples clucked while shaking their heads.
Wu Zetian who was annoyed because his words were considered nonsense immediately threw the lock on them.
"See for yourself if you don't believe!" he said it was challenging.
Two picket students are curious to prove. They looked at each other for some time then started to open the lock with the key that Wu Zetian had given them.
"Be careful if you lie to us."
"Don't say much. Open it and look for yourself to prove it," Wu Zetian replied fiercely.
The two picket disciples opened the black crate. The moment the lid opened, they were shocked to recognize the figure bound within it was actually Feng Gao. In fact they rub their eyes several times to make sure what is right is visible in front of the eyes or there is a mistake.
"Hows it? Do you believe it now? If so open the gate because we have to take him to the elder's place immediately."
The two disciples no longer wasted any longer. They immediately pulled the lever opening the gate wider letting the horse carriage inside.
...
Mission center.
"You guys came back sooner than I thought. Is everything all right?" elder Zhu He asked, looking at the four familiar faces.
"Yes, all are fluent Elders." Zhang Yu showed dozens of clothes with the emblem of the red hearted bandit group.
Elder Zhu He nodded in understanding. He then issued one nameless token containing seven thousand contribution points.
"This is in return for your mission. Is there anything else you want to do?"
"Chairman, in addition to completing this mission we have also completed another mission." Zhang Yu walked towards the black chest that was already behind him. He lifted the lid to show Feng Gao to Elder Zhu He.
The moment Elder Zhu He saw Feng Gao, he was extremely shocked. But still remain calm to keep his wife. He cleared his throat twice then asked Zhang Yu. "Feng Gao is a former inner disciple. How did you catch him?"
"Not us, but Zhang Yu. He single-handedly defeated Feng Gao. We didn't do anything at all."
Tang Yue's statement was a little shocking. Elder Zhu He was briefly stunned then gradually nodded his head. "Well, I get it. The mission of capturing Feng Gao had the reward of ten thousand contribution points. Wait here I'll be right back."
After ascending to the second floor Elder Zhu He returned with a single token in his hand. He handed it to Zhang Yu.
"For Feng Gao, he will be punished according to his crimes. He'll be locked up in a back hill prison for the rest of his life."
Zhang Yu did not quite understand about the punishing legal system. So he handed the decision completely to elder Zhu He and he was about to take his reward.
"Zhang Yu, do you want to go to the cultivation tower?" wu Zetian asked shortly after exiting the mission center.
"No. Looks like I'm just going back to the residence."
"He Jiao, I'm going to the treasure pavilion. Is it okay to go back alone?" ask Tang Yue.
"No problem. I'll go back alone."
Two men left two there. But the atmosphere was very awkward because there was a problem between the two of them.
Zhang Yu took a deep breath before saying goodbye. "I'll go first. You be careful."
But who would have thought that He Jiao had instead followed him right behind.
"We're heading in the same direction. Doesn't matter if we walk together?"
"Sure,"
Zhang Yu did not say many words. Even when walking, he was silent, focusing only on his footsteps.
A little different from He Jiao. He wanted to say something, but always his sentence was stuck in the throat and in one moment vanished swallowed. Until finally they reached their respective residences and there was still no chat.
He Jiao patted his forehead softly as he came to his senses with his manner. He shook his head and ran into his residence.
While Zhang Yu was still standing in front of the door as one voice from his teacher suddenly echoed within his head.
"Teacher, why did you call me?"
"Don't ask too many questions. Come here quickly because it's so important."
Of importance?
Who wouldn't panic after getting a message like that. Zhang Yu who had just opened the door was forced to close it back and go to see his teacher. He had to come and find out what that "important" meant.
