Chapter 822: Chapter 822
"Have you made up your mind?" Pang Meiqin also felt that there would be many benefits if Lu Fan grew bigger.
"No, if I get bigger, I can’t sneak up on others anymore. It’s better to stay small, I won’t attract as much firepower." Lu Fan shook his head, rejecting the proposal, and the most important point was that if his body grew bigger, he would no longer be able to cling to his uncle.
"Meiqin, not bad, although you were slacking off, you still put in some effort at the crucial moment. It’s a pity you don’t have a Seed Ability, I feel it’s such a waste on your behalf. You scored three thousand three hundred points, rewarded with one Silver Seed, B-Class evaluation."
"The points are still not much." Pang Meiqin was super frustrated, but she immediately consoled herself, knowing that Ruan Feifei and the others had earned a lot but also suffered severe injuries, and the cost to repair their bodies was high as well.
"Mature lady, you are super awesome after the Seed Ability exploded, just that your defensive weapons are a bit rubbish. You should fight for your own rights. For such a powerful party, not nurturing you is simply the Group Leader’s dereliction of duty. Also, hurry up, Tang Zheng is at least a man, certainly better than a cold vibrator, right? You scored three thousand eight hundred points, rewarded with one Silver Seed, Level A evaluation."
Tang Zheng looked at the mature lady; her equipment was indeed too lousy. With Chu Baichuan’s death, there were only two attackers left in the team who could kill groups of enemies. They needed better protection.
"Dantai Your Excellency, finally you don’t have to be a benchwarmer anymore. As the team’s second-in-command, you finally made a contribution. Feels good to have your Seed Ability explode, doesn’t it? What a pity you were always suppressed a level by Chu Baichuan. You scored three thousand nine hundred points, rewarded with one Golden Seed, Level A evaluation."
Dantai was very frustrated that his score wasn’t higher than Gu Xueqi’s, but he soon understood that it was because hers was the first fight, and the scoring system followed another set of rules. Of course, if Tang Zheng hadn’t given her a seed to activate her ability, she wouldn’t have been able to score that many points.
"Good guy Tang, you finally got tough and killed Mei Jueye. You understand now, right? What you thought were just little shrimps can actually cause big trouble. But why did so many people survive again? Are you forcing me to start a major purge scenario? Luckily, the next round is the Title Contention War, and we can reduce some people. You scored four thousand six hundred points, rewarded with one Golden Seed, S-level evaluation."
"Scum Tang, there’s something wrong with the way you are looking at me. Do you really want to kill me?" Silver Trojan taunted Tang Zheng, who was silently watching, "But you have no chance. With your level, in the qualifying round, you’re at the bottom. Next round, you’ll see the individual and team ranking boards, and then you’ll understand the gap between you and those powerhouses."
"Can’t we see it here?" Lu Fan asked, puzzled.
"Only the Fearless have the authority to check," the Trojan replied, and was then ridiculed by Lu Fan, pointing at its nose.
"Heh, so you’re admitting that Tang Zheng can get the title of the Fearless," Lu Fan laughed.
The Silver Trojan was astonished; although it didn’t want to admit it, Good Guy Tang was indeed very powerful.
"Trojan, pardon the interruption, but when the girl with the surname Mu participated in the game, were there other Conquerors present?" Gu Xueqi, after hearing Dantai’s score, asked the question that had been bothering her. She didn’t believe she was stronger than that man.
"No, before her round, the Conquerors who participated in the Holy Land Battle all perished, so she scored her points by her own strength. Your score, however, comes with Tang Zheng’s assistance, so it is somewhat inflated. But don’t undercut yourself; you did great," the Trojan replied.
"Let’s stop talking about useless things; shouldn’t we distribute the spoils of war?" Although Pang Meiqin had snatched an equipment piece dropped by Oda, she didn’t dare to keep it for herself and actively handed it over to Tang Zheng for distribution. In addition to maintaining his status as the Group Leader, she also knew that Tang Zheng would definitely not let her be at a disadvantage. "Dantai got three pieces; he should spit out at least one, right?"
"That’s right, let Tang Zheng distribute it." Dantai handed over the three pieces of equipment and more than a dozen seeds. He knew very well that Tang Zheng was popular and had many supporters; he had no right to distribute and didn’t plan to keep them all for himself.
"Whoever contributes the most should have the first pick of the equipment." Tang Zheng also took off the Fenglin Huoshan Army Equipment and the Australian Eagle ring he wore, and placed them in the center of the room. When he added the First Bow of East Sea Road to the pile, Yu Manli stopped him.
"That’s not necessary; you got it on your own during a solo operation." Yu Manli’s face wore a smile, quite eager. She knew that even if she didn’t say anything, the sly fox Pang Meiqin would still speak up to secure Tang Zheng’s rights; it was better for her to sell him this favor.
"Keep it, that’s fair." Dantai also stopped Tang Zheng and then made a welcoming gesture. "Actually, the Army Equipment should be yours to take, too; it doesn’t count because we just lured away some Demonic Shadow Cavalry. After all, it was you guys who killed Takeda Shingen."
"The main attackers are Tang Zheng and Xin Lan." Even though Ruan Feifei was proud, she didn’t dare claim credit on this. Without the mature lady’s Ice Shield, they would have been trampled to mush by Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain long ago.
"Alright, no more false modesty. Tang Zheng, keep the Army Equipment, and then let Aunt Xin Lan choose." Lu Fan jumped out and took charge of the distribution meeting.
Takeda Shingen dropped a set of Army Equipment and eighteen warhorse statues that could summon mounts. Oda Nobunaga dropped a Shadowless Bow, a katana called Kiku-Ichimonji Norimune, and two pieces of Armor, all S-grade. The Australian Eagle dropped a ring, and Mori Ranmaru dropped a set of Armor, also S-grade.
"Xin Lan, pick out a piece of Armor; your defense is too weak." Lu Fan flipped through the equipment and picked out a piece of Armor dropped by Oda. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on NoveI[F]ire.net
Present Age Footwear, S-grade defense gear, not only possessed all the characteristics of Firefly but also doubled defense against spirit-type strikes and was weightless. It could turn into a spirit and was pretty convenient to wear over Protective Clothing.
Li Xinlan smiled and accepted it in her hands.
"Tang Zheng, it’s your turn to pick." Even Xu Liangmao didn’t want to see Tang Zheng at a disadvantage.
"I’ll pass, Meiqin, you choose. After all, you wasted the Great Saint Tattoo." There was no objection to Tang Zheng’s words. Pang Meiqin could have just hidden away for half an hour to safely return.
Dantai and the others also understood that if it hadn’t been for Tang Zheng, Pang Meiqin definitely wouldn’t have made a move.
Pang Meiqin hesitated, the Australian Eagle was actually not bad, but she didn’t want to attack, she was lacking in defense, so she chose a set of Weizhang Armor. Its properties were the same as the Present Age Armor. This kind of armor could be worn over Protective Clothing without conflict.
"Next, Uncle Dantai."
"Call me brother." Dantai flicked Lu Fan’s forehead and picked up the Samurai Sword.
Chrysanthemum One-Character Nakayoshi, SS level, Demonic Break Spiritual Break, dealing double damage to them, and has effects of slashing bleeding, also having a 5% beheading effect that could instantly kill.
"This curved knife is S level. Tang Zheng originally gave it to me, but I don’t need it now. I’ll give it to Liang Mao." Dantai didn’t need two weapons. He preferred one knife in one hand and a gun in the other hand so that both close-range and long-range could be taken care of.
"I just want this knife, I won’t choose anything else." Xu Liangmao was indeed an honest man and easily satisfied.
"Sister Yixin, come pick something." Lu Fan picked up the ring, "Your Platinum Queen defense is good, but you lack attack power, choose this."
Even if Chu Baichuan was doing it for his wife, the Australian Eagle was after all killed by him, and he should take the ring.
"I don’t want it." Ai Yixin wasn’t polite and chose the Shadowless Bow. She needed to earn a lot of points now, so she needed firepower. Besides, the Eagle was the culprit who killed Chu Baichuan, and she wouldn’t choose the ring even if killed by someone’s wife.
Shadowless Bow, S-level, can do group attacks but is even more excellent in single-target attacks, double damage against spirit attacks, and has the ability of thousand-mile tracking, which can lock onto the enemy for over-the-horizon strikes.
"It’s Fanfan’s turn now. Even though you were seriously injured in the fight with Oda, the effect of the Monkey King’s breath isn’t smaller than Ruan Feifei and the others." Pang Meiqin’s words were not false, making the female anchor and Yu Manli’s faces unchanged.
"I’ll choose the ring, hehe." Lu Fan had been eyeing it for a while now, it looked very beautiful, made of silver and seemingly flowing with sunlight, a majestic eagle was engraved on it ready to take flight.
Australian Eagle, S-level, as massive as a rhino, possesses the skills of Corpse Scatter Parachute Drop and Meteor Crash. It can eject fireballs and also shrink in size for reconnaissance. It is a spirit bird, able to understand its master’s commands and execute them fully.
"Forget it, this ring should go to uncle, no objections, right?" Lu Fan put it on her finger, rubbed it a few times, then took it off and gave it to Tang Zheng, "Uncle summoned two Great Saints, actually the most contributive if we count it up."
Tang Zheng wanted to reject, but the little Lolita forcibly put it on his hand, insisting on him wearing it.
"Eh, what’s going on with this ring?" Seeing an emerald ring on Tang Zheng’s middle finger, Lu Fan felt somewhat disappointed.
"That’s the one from Egypt, given to you by Aima, right? I remember it belonged to Queen Nefertari." Pang Meiqin’s memory was quite good.
"Yeah." Watching the stubborn Little Lolita, Tang Zheng had no choice but to accept her kindness.
"Who gets Mori Ranmaru’s armor?" Pang Meiqin didn’t consider Ruan Feifei and the others, "Just divide a few Seeds among you, since there was slacking, and not much effort was made."
"Give it to Lu Fan, she’s part of the Powerful Party." Dantai reached out to touch Lu Fan’s forehead, but she dodged.
"Giving it to you is fine, I have Firefly, that’s enough." Lu Fan understood the importance of reciprocity and looked at the Special Agent with a teasing smile.
"Do you think I’m going to take advantage of you?" Dantai refused, "This allocation is actually very fair, no effort, no reward, a Great Saint is worthy of this S-level Armor. Ruan Feifei, don’t be downcast, each of you will get a Warhorse mount and three Silver Seeds."
Gu Xueqi and Sha Ou were very satisfied. After all, they were Newbies; having these gains was already fulfilling. Actually, towards the end, Sha Ou was just self-preserving. He didn’t notice that occasionally when Ai Yixin glanced at him, her eyes betrayed a deep-seated hatred.
"Alright, let’s each buy our stuff. I reckon the new year has already passed in the real world. Let’s go back early to have Reunion Dinner with our families." Tang Zheng waved his hand; he was also tired and wanted to rest.
Survivors came over to bid farewell to Tang Zheng, which was enough to prove his good popularity.
"This is her address. If you have time, go and accompany her." Watching Ai Yixin leave, Tang Zheng turned to Li Xinlan.
