Chapter 208 Trash and Punishment
[Ding! Congratulations on completing the multiplayer The Way of the Extraordinary mission - The Age of Mass Reporting, difficulty level S, calculating rewards...]
[Reward calculation in progress... Obtained item/object: Armor of Unyielding (Damaged) (Not claimed)]
[Reward experience: 0]
[Calculation complete! Exiting The Way of the Extraordinary in 30 seconds...]
Exiting The Way of the Extraordinary, uh, the final battle of the third round is tomorrow?
That's fine too. I'm too tired from fighting today, and my condition isn't very good. Resting for a day is reasonable... Zhang Yuanqing immediately shifted his attention to the items he had obtained.
The Earth God gave him a helmet, and its name was "Helmet of Unyielding."
In other words, the reward for the one with the highest points is this set of armor.
Zhang Yuanqing was overjoyed. This set of armor is of Saint level quality, and the reward is quite generous.
He then noticed that the armor was marked as damaged, but when he took over the helmet from the Earth God, the item attribute description did not have the "damaged" mark.
Hmm, is it because the intact armor would be too unbalanced, so it's damaged? Okay, even if it's damaged, collecting a whole set can still play a huge role, and the gap between me and Zhao Chenghuang has narrowed again.
He opened his inventory again to check, but he didn't see the armor.
As expected, it will be issued to me after tomorrow's final battle... Zhang Yuanqing thought.
At this moment, he heard Zhao Chenghuang exhale lightly and say faintly:
"I'm a little unhappy today, so, Yuanshi Tianzun, I look forward to tomorrow's final battle."
"Looking forward to beating me up tomorrow?" Zhang Yuanqing asked.
Zhao Chenghuang didn't answer and turned into light particles and dissipated.
........
Inside the arena, it was silent.
The audience looked up, staring at the scene in the image. It was clearly a sea of heads, but not a single mouth opened to speak.
《Xiu Luo Wu Shen》
Among them, including the elders in high positions, the elders of Taiyi Sect looked slightly stiff, and the elders of the Five Elements Alliance also looked surprised, staring at the image in astonishment.
Yuanshi Tianzun's operation of turning the tables against the wind surprised this group of Dominators.
As top experts in the Dominator realm, the battles in the Extraordinary stage, even if they were fought fiercely and caused earth-shattering events, would not cause too strong psychological fluctuations for the Dominators.
It's like adults watching children fight. They would only find it interesting and wouldn't get excited.
However, what Yuanshi Tianzun did, he certainly didn't rely on "powerful combat power," but on his meticulous mind and forward-looking layout.
Even the elders didn't expect that he had been calculating Sun Miaomiao from the beginning, adding a layer of insurance to prevent problems before they occurred.
The most important thing is that no one saw it.
Yes, no one saw it.
It was Sun Miaomiao who took the initiative to ask to hug the spirit servant, it was Sun Miaomiao who happily kneaded and played with the little baby, and it was Sun Miaomiao who took the initiative to ask about the reporting method.
There was no trace of layout throughout the entire process, but Sun Miaomiao was completely under his control. Even the elders found this operation amazing.
"This kid, so young, with such a sinister heart." Elder Sun's mouth twitched, his face full of depression.
Elder Zhao, wearing a black robe, frowned, his old face a little embarrassed. He had just shown off that his great-grandson was good at strategy. The echo of what he said hadn't dissipated yet, and Yuanshi Tianzun slapped him in the face.
Now his great-grandson has become a stepping stone for Yuanshi Tianzun to become famous, a foil.
"Elder Zhao, this kid under my command, his wisdom is okay, right?" Dog Elder raised his paw and stroked his beard.
The elders on the Five Elements Alliance side smiled and curled their lips.
This was in stark contrast to the silence and dissatisfaction just now.
In this way, even if Yuanshi Tianzun misses the championship, he can firmly occupy the second position, and the face of the Five Elements Alliance will not be damaged.
The old man with the red hair of the Red Fire Gang smiled and said, "Elder Sun, you are still confused."
Light laughter rose, and the elder seats were filled with a lively atmosphere.
At this time, the two people in the image turned into light particles and dissipated, and the silent silence was finally broken.
It was like igniting a dynamite barrel, and with a "boom," the sound wave exploded.
It was like a concert reaching its climax, like a player kicking in the goal that determined the victory or defeat.
"Damn, this reversal is amazing, so amazing!"
"So he still had this up his sleeve. I was wrong. I sprayed him when I saw Yuanshi Tianzun taking advantage of Sun Miaomiao... Sure enough, the thinking of geniuses is different from ours."
"Is this watching a game? This is riding a roller coaster. It's so exciting. When Yuan Ting reported Zhao Chenghuang, I thought Yuanshi Tianzun was sure to win. When the Tone Deaf was eliminated, I thought Zhao Chenghuang was sure to win... As a result, Yuanshi Tianzun turned the tables again. My brain is not enough."
"He really deserves to be a genius who has cleared two S-level dungeons in a row... Yuanshi Tianzun's operation made me see the difference in the world. Fortunately, there is Yuanshi Tianzun, otherwise the top two would have nothing to do with our Five Elements Alliance."
"Yes, yes, the elders' faces were dark just now."
"Yuanshi Tianzun! Yuanshi Tianzun!" Queen jumped up, waving her hands excitedly, like a fan supporting her idol.
Pa pa pa... Guan Ya also stood up excitedly, clapping her hands vigorously, her bright face blooming with excitement and joy.
They both thought that Yuanshi Tianzun was doomed to lose just now. Queen was biting her lip, Guan Ya was frowning, full of helplessness and frustration.
Unexpectedly, the situation took a turn for the better, and Yuanshi Tianzun gave them such a big surprise.
"It's so enviable to be in the limelight." Ling Jun, sitting behind Fu Qingyang, sighed.
Guan Ya and Queen were just a part of the screaming women in the audience. Yuanshi Tianzun's move had gained countless female fans.
Hua Gongzi, who prides himself on being romantic, is very envious of this opportunity to be in the limelight.
At this time, he heard Queen shouting:
"I really admire Yuanshi Tianzun too much. I thought he was just relapsing into his old habits by controlling the spirit servant to touch Sun Miaomiao's chest."
Guan Ya, as a scout, smiled slightly and looked at her best friend:
"Relapsing into his old habits?"
Queen said: "Last time in Yin Yang Town, when we were diving at the bottom of the river, he patted my butt."
"Oh, oh!" Guan Ya nodded with an unchanged smile, as if it was nothing, but the moment she turned her head, she changed to a fake smile.
There were also people who didn't understand Yuanshi Tianzun's operation and thought the audience's reaction was too exaggerated, such as Jiang Jingwei, who was a Fire Master.
"What's so exciting about it? They chattered a bunch of nonsense without even fighting." Jiang Jingwei looked at Guan Ya, who was not far away from her, with a puzzled face.
Guan Ya is a very reserved and particular elder sister who never does anything frivolous. Actions like jumping and shouting are almost impossible to see on her.
"Worthy of being the employee I brought out, oh, my God; oh, my God~"
Not far away, a man in elegant formal attire waved his cane, like a wild fan waving a flag.
Where's his elegance? A question flashed in Jiang Jingwei's mind, and she suddenly understood Guan Ya a little.
In a higher seat, Bill Tarantino said excitedly:
"Wonderful!
"Wonderful game. This trip to China was worth it just for this game. I realized for the first time that the arena competition held by the Five Elements Alliance can be so exciting.
"Hehe, those guys always look down on the Five Elements Alliance's arena competition, thinking that the Five Elements Alliance is just playing house behind closed doors."
Overseas, there are many famous The Way of the Extraordinary competitions, and the contestants are The Way of the Extraordinary from all over the world, including the seven orderly professions of China.
It can be called a gathering of heroes.
In the face of these global events, the Five Elements Alliance's internal arena competition is naturally looked down upon. It's not an exaggeration to say it's playing house.
It is worth mentioning that China and its neighboring countries belong to the same region. Those small countries will also produce Water Ghosts, Wood Demons, and Night Roamers, but their numbers are too small to form a powerful force. Most of them are Loose Cultivators.
Annie's face was flushed, and she was fascinated: "Mr. Bill, he is smarter and more outstanding than I thought. I like this kind of man."
She was becoming more and more satisfied with Yuanshi Tianzun, and she even began to imagine that perhaps he was a Night Roamer who could rival the Demon Lord.
The Xie family mother and daughter were also very satisfied with Yuanshi Tianzun.
Xie's mother said happily:
"It's much more interesting than watching TV dramas. I'll watch it every year in the future. I have something to talk about with the ladies this month. This Yuanshi Tianzun is really good. I'll talk to your dad about it."
Xie Lingxi said proudly: "It's not like every year there is a master like Yuanshi Gege participating."
She immediately reacted and said happily:
"Mom, you also think that our Xie family should win him over, right!"
Xie's mother blinked her innocent eyes: "What win over or not, I don't know what you're talking about."
"......"
Xie Lingxi felt that her cultivation was still not enough. Her mother was the only white lotus in the world.
Zhu Rong raised her head and stared blankly at the empty image. The noise in her ears gradually faded away, and the man's sneer sounded:
"Evil dragons never care about the hatred of ants. You are only worthy of being my toy in this life."
"Tsk tsk, Miss Zhu, you are becoming more and more dissolute now. You can never go back to the past."
Zhu Rong's eyes were slightly red. She was stunned for a long time, then took a deep breath and abandoned the past scenes from her mind. She laughed neurotically:
"I want to destroy you, I want to destroy you!"
.........
The scene in front of her rippled like water waves. When the "water surface" calmed down, Zhang Yuanqing saw the familiar bedroom.
He turned his head to look at the bedside table for the first time. The electronic alarm clock showed that the time was 12:30 noon.
It's past lunchtime... Zhang Yuanqing muttered in his heart, and then his stomach began to respond, making "gurgling" noises.
He didn't have time to eat breakfast, and he fought in the dungeon all morning. He was already hungry.
Zhang Yuanqing listened carefully. It was quiet in the living room. At this time, his grandparents should be taking a nap.
The two old people have always had the habit of taking a nap.
Zhang Yuanqing tiptoed to the living room. His grandparents were indeed napping in the bedroom, and there were indeed no leftovers on the dining table.
There is no habit of eating leftovers at home. Even if there are leftovers, his grandmother will throw them away.
After leaving the house, he ate two big bowls of braised chicken rice at a restaurant outside the neighborhood. He returned home contentedly with a round belly.
On the way, he bought a cup of milk tea at a milk tea shop on the street.
"It's so refreshing~"
Zhang Yuanqing leaned on the side of the bed, drinking the cold milk tea and blowing on the air conditioner. After eating and drinking enough, it was daytime again, and lazy bugs slowly crawled onto his eyelids.
"Take a nap. You'll recover when you wake up."
Zhang Yuanqing sent a text message to Aunt Xiao Yuan saying that he had cleared the S-level dungeon and became one of the two players. He would have a final battle with Zhao Chenghuang tomorrow.
Then he fell asleep.
........
Fu Jiawan.
At the dining table, Fu Qingyang and Ling Jun were enjoying a sumptuous lunch.
As noble young masters, as soon as they came out of the dungeon, a tall and beautiful bunny girl said in a gentle voice:
"Two young masters, lunch is ready, would you like to go and have it now!"
Unlike a certain commoner, he has to run outside to order a braised chicken rice for a meal.
Ling Jun forked a piece of crystal clear ham and said while eating:
"Wonderful, wonderful. I can savor this battle for a long time. Your vision is good. Yuanshi is still very talented. However, how many chances do you think he has of winning in tomorrow's final battle?"
Fu Qingyang's cold face showed a thoughtful look and said:
"From the perspective of hard power alone, 20%. With powerful props, 30%. But he has the heart of a strong man, plus another 10%, 40% chance of winning."
"Sure enough, it's less than 50%. The possibility of losing is greater." Ling Jun sighed and suddenly said in surprise:
"You just said the heart of a strong man? You rarely use the word strong man to describe garbage."
Fu Qingyang chewed the barbecue and said calmly: "He is different from you. He is not garbage."
Ling Jun was stunned.
Fu Qingyang explained lightly:
"I have always believed that talent and strong man have no direct relationship. As long as there is a strong man's heart, even ants are worthy of respect. The heart of a strong man lies in never giving up, in striving to become stronger, and in facing difficulties in adversity.
"I have been observing from the Sheling Tunnel until now. There is no doubt that Yuanshi, like me, has the heart of a strong man."
At this time, a bunny girl holding a mobile phone, wearing high heels, and walking in hurried steps came to the table and said respectfully:
"Young master, the family elder's call."
The caller ID on the phone screen - No. 2 Old Undead!
Fu Qingyang frowned, put down his tableware, wiped his hands slowly with a napkin, took the phone, and answered the call.
After listening for a while, Fu Qingyang's face sank, and the corners of his eyes twitched slightly.
Ling Jun vaguely heard snippets of words from the speaker:
"What did you say to Yuanshi Tianzun... The senior leaders of the White Tiger Army are questioning the family. I hope you will tell the truth, otherwise, the investigation team will move into Fu Qing's house... You're confused, how could you leave such a big handle... What exactly did you say to Yuanshi Tianzun..."
The Fu family was very anxious. They guessed that Fu Qingyang might have inadvertently revealed some shady things to Yuanshi Tianzun.
For example, insulting female subordinates, or having improper relationships with men and women, or even more serious illegal and criminal behavior.
Otherwise, how could Yuanshi Tianzun say such shocking words as "disgraced" and "expelled from the White Tiger Army".
The Council of Elders hoped that Fu Qingyang could confess his mistakes so that they could seize the time to operate and see if they could turn the big things into small things and the small things into nothing.
Fu Qingyang silently hung up the phone, his face full of coldness and ruthlessness, and said in a deep voice:
"I take back what I just said. Yuanshi Tianzun is also garbage!"
........
Zhang Yuanqing, who was sleeping, had a stagnant breath and felt something soft and elastic hit his chest and abdomen hard.
"Jiang Yuer, aren't you annoying? Sitting on my stomach again..."
Zhang Yuanqing knew it was his aunt teasing him without opening his eyes.
The faint and long-lasting fragrance in the air was the unique smell of his aunt.
"It's time to eat~"
While speaking, Jiang Yuer raised her upturned butt and sat down hard.
If it were before, he would have been suffocated by a butt.
Zhang Yuanqing opened his eyes and sized up his aunt while yawning. She was dressed very beautifully, wearing a women's T-shirt with small exposed shoulders, paired with a high-waisted casual floor-length pants.
This outfit showed off her full breasts and slender waist.
In addition, she also drew eyeliner, brushed mascara, and applied a layer of light foundation.
"Are you having a nervous breakdown today?"
Zhang Yuanqing looked away.
A woman with makeup and without makeup are completely different people. His aunt without makeup is already beautiful, and she is simply a human being when she puts on makeup.
Jiang Yuer tilted her body and fell beside Zhang Yuanqing, sighing:
"I have a day off today and was sent to a blind date by the black-hearted witch at home."
Zhang Yuanqing raised his eyebrows. His aunt usually goes to blind dates without makeup and doesn't pay attention to dressing up.
It seems that today's blind date made her very satisfied, so she wants to dress up?
My aunt sighed again:
"The man is a distant nephew of your aunt, it should be considered a distant nephew, anyway, there is some kinship, your aunt personally escorted me to go and forced me to put on makeup."
It's rare that your grandmother and aunt have united on the issue of forcing you to go on blind dates... Zhang Yuanqing asked:
"How is it, are you satisfied?"
"Satisfied, I'm very satisfied with the coffee in that store." My aunt nodded.
Zhang Yuanqing was disappointed:
"Hey, I couldn't marry you off again. What a pity, you just stay at home and become a yellow-faced woman."
Hearing this, my aunt straightened her small waist and rode up again, pressing her hand on her nephew's chest and making a fist with the other, making a gesture of hitting a tiger, and shouted:
"Little beast, I'm going to kill you today."
They had dinner in the midst of playing and fighting. Zhang Yuanqing hid back in the bedroom and picked up his phone to check the information.
The chat software showed dozens of unread messages.
Most of them were "congratulations" text messages, from Xie Lingxi, the team leaders of Kangyang District, and some wild Loose Cultivators he knew.
Xiao Yuan also replied to him:
"I don't believe it, liar!"
Don't believe it? Zhang Yuanqing felt angry when he saw this information, feeling that his character was being questioned.
"Believe it or not..." He entered this information, suddenly his fingers stiffened, and he reacted. Aunt Xiao Yuan's reply was an attitude of "Let's chat", "Ah, really? Tell me about it".
Instead of a simple stop-and-go chat between ordinary friends.
Zhang Yuanqing silently deleted the unfinished content, thinking that he should remember the teachings of his life mentor and look, think, and analyze women's replies.
If you really can't think of the content to reply, then offer love.
Zhang Yuanqing first sent a love heart, then opened his notebook phone and logged into the official forum.
There must be evaluations of today's battle by official The Way of the Extraordinary on the forum, as well as predictions for tomorrow's final battle.
You can take a screenshot and send it to Xiao Yuan.
At the same time, he must not know as much about Zhao Chenghuang as other official The Way of the Extraordinary, so their evaluations and predictions are very valuable for reference.
He originally thought that the pinned post would be: #Shocking, Yuanshi Tianzun turned the tables against the wind and became famous in one battle. He deserves to be a man who can captivate all living beings#
Unexpectedly, the pinned post on the forum was actually:
#After a decision by headquarters, the top eight players in the Extraordinary stage will be given a notice of criticism#
"During the dungeon duel, Yuanshi Tianzun took the lead in making indecent gestures. Zhao Chenghuang, Earth God, Sun Miaomiao, Yuan Ting, Tianxiaguihuo, Qingsongzi, and Tone Deaf followed suit.
"After the incident, the eight people were not ashamed but proud, and frequently made indecent gestures, which violated public order and good customs, damaged the official image, and had an extremely bad impact."
"After a decision by headquarters, Yuanshi Tianzun will be given a notice of criticism, and his mid-year bonus, year-end bonus, and quarterly bonus will be deducted, as well as three months' salary.
"The remaining seven people will be given a notice of criticism, their year-end bonus will be deducted, and their salary will be deducted for two months.
"We hope that all colleagues will take this as a warning and maintain the official image. It is our common responsibility."
