The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 274 Second Assessment Completed!
After the death of the demon warrior, there were no more major events within the Illusory World. The suitors continued to hunt the lower demons, but some still chose to rob other suitors using their superior strength. However, most choose to stay in groups to maximize their hunting efficiency and also to prevent themselves from being robbed by others.
The severely injured Beiming Chu was aided by his friends to collect his own share of tokens. For this move, he was grateful that they had not abandoned him. He was glad that his little sacrifice was not in vain.
***
On the other hand, Sylphie was still hunting alone, so she needed more time to collect the rest of her tokens.
“Finally done.” Lu Sulan muttered as he checked the time. He then took something and pressed it hard.
The power of the Illusory Tree had been removed and the applicants were slowly awakened one by one from that dream world.
Everyone was still very confused as they sustained themselves. What the hell's been going on? They were confused about how they were brought out of the Illusory World. Some of the smarter applicants connect the dots and they can guess what might have happened to them over the past few days.
After everyone woke up, Lu Sulan clapped his hands to get their attention.
Clap it!
The suitors turned their eyes towards him and waited for him to explain what had happened.
Lu Sulan's expression remained calm as he looked at everyone's bewildered faces. Then he started talking. “I know you all want to know about what has happened, so let me explain this to everyone. All of you were brought to the Illusory World with the help of this Illusory Tree. In that world, you guys are assigned to look for tokens that can only be taken after killing lesser demons. And to my surprise, over 90% of you successfully passed this test. I will show you the names of those who passed this assessment. As for those whose names are not displayed on the screen, you may leave this place.”
Lu Sulan waved his hand and a large screen appeared in front of everyone. There are three lines on the screen, the first is labeled a name, the next is the number of tokens the applicant has, and the last label is their last greeting (Guild, Fail).
Everyone stared intently at the screen and started looking for their names. Applicants who passed the assessment were overjoyed, while some who failed shook their heads regretfully.
“I almost got all the tokens. Too bad..” One of them said with a sad expression.
“Wait, why did I pass the assessment? I'm short of one token of the required amount, so why do I get a passing comment?” One of the applicants asked in surprise when he saw the results.
“Yes, me too! I lack three tokens, but I also pass! Is this true?!” Another applicant voiced his words in an excited tone.
Other applicants are confused about the whole issue. Why did those people pass the assessment when they failed to get the required number of tokens?
“I don't accept this! Why did they get comments through?!” A big young man said with displeasure written all over his face.
“There is a bonus reward within the Illusory World, and it is given to those who kill the only demon warrior inside. Those who passed this assessment despite the lack of tokens participated in killing that demon warrior. Any more words?” Lu Sulan said in a cold tone.
So that's it? Everyone was finally enlightened after Lu Sulan explained the entire matter. As for those who voiced their displeasure, they hid among the crowd in embarrassment.
“Hahaha! This father was right to join forces with His Majesty to kill that demon warrior! Great!”
“Damn it! I should have joined those people to kill that stupid demon!”
Prince Dante and his friends looked at each other with smiles on their faces.
“Brother Beiming, it is a good thing that we transferred to that Illusory World. Otherwise, it may take more than a month to recover from that injury.” Zhu Ren said with relief.
Beiming Chu's shoulder turned cold when he heard his words. He's right! His injuries at that time were too severe that he even had trouble walking.
“Do not do such a thing again, Brother Beiming. Your Beiming Family body strengthening technique might be powerful, but who knows what might happen in the future. You have to be extra careful.” Prince Dante patted his friend's shoulder as he said those words.
Princess Sylvia nodded in agreement, but she still glared at her brother. “You're a talkative person! You foolishly attacked that demon soldier alone! I never thought you were that crazy! Hmph!”
Prince Dante scratched the back of his head in embarrassment as he calmed the raging little devil.
Seeing this, Zhu Ren and Beiming Chu burst into laughter.
“Sunny!” Lu Sulan said in a cold tone.
All of the suitors immediately turned their gazes to this beautiful elder, but they did not dare to have any perverted thoughts about him. Who would dare to do that when the woman before them was a disciple of the famous Sect Master Jiu Shen?! Only a retard would provoke him…
“The third assessment will be held tomorrow morning. Make sure none of you are late. Now you can all go back to your rooms.” Lu Sulan said before leaving the scene.
The appraisers excitedly talked to their new friends as they returned to their rooms.
Long Meili who was standing on the branch of the Illusory Tree looked at Sylphie's back with many thoughts in her head.
