Chapter 724 Alchemist Exam (9)

When Yuki came back to the waiting room, she looked at Lin Fan with a triumphant look.

In return, Lin Fan gave a thumbs up and a wide smile.

Their plan had worked perfectly, so naturally they were happy.

However, both of them also knew that it wouldn't be the end with just this.

After this exchange, Lin Fan came closer to whisper a few words besides Yuki's ear.

After hearing these words, Yuki revealed a smile and said, "You're going to let me take care of them, right?"

Lin Fan shook his head with a bitter smile and said, "Angela said that she wanted to take care of them herself."

Yuki pouted her lips, but then she said with a smile, "Well, big sister should need some help with that."

Before Lin Fan could say a thing, Yuki was already running off.

Lin Fan didn't bother stopping her since he knew that it would be useless. At the very least, he had already gotten watches for them, so they could communicate and meet up, so it wasn't as if she was running off without any directions.

Not to mention that she had already finished her exam for the day.

The exam would be held over three days, with three different rounds, so Yuki was free today since she had already finished the first round. He was the only one that actually had to stay here.

After the mess that she had caused, it seemed like it would take some time for them to prepare the arena for the next round of exams since there was still the smell from Yuki's refinement in the arena. While there was the smell of the pill she refined that replaced it, she had been burning the impurities for so long that the stench was much stronger and lasted longer.

It had been so bad that they had even evacuated the crowd since they couldn't take it anymore.

However, this was the Alchemy King Hall, one of the twelve great factions, so the time that it took them to remove the smell was much shorter than any other place. After all, they were used to dealing with smells like this since they were an alchemist organization.

Once the smell had been taken care of, it was Lin Fan's turn to take the exam.

Unlike Yuki, he passed the exam in a fairly normal manner, so he didn't attract any attention. Other than being the first one to finish his refinement, no one noticed anything special about him.

That was until the head referee came back later to check the pills that they had collected from the exam.

The moment that he saw Lin Fan's pill, his eyes immediately narrowed and he couldn't help taking a cold breath. When he looked over Lin Fan's pill, his face filled with shock and disbelief just like when he had looked over Yuki's pill.

After taking another deep breath, he immediately looked at the assistant beside him and asked in a serious voice, "Who was the one that made this pill?"

The assistant was surprised to see how serious the head referee was, but they didn't dare delay, so they quickly looked over the list of contestants before saying, "It was examinee 3042, Lin Fan."

The head referee repeated to himself, "Lin Fan…" Then after a pause, he said, "Take care of the rest yourself, I'm taking this pill with me."

Without even waiting for the assistant to respond, the head referee took the pill and headed off to the elevator.

The assistant was just left there with a stunned look on his face, but he wasn't able to say a thing since the head referee was already gone.

The head referee took the elevator up to the top floor again and he went to the same office, but this time, there was another person that was in the office with the person from before.

The new person was surprised to see the head referee running in, but then he asked, "What are you doing? Can't you see that we're in a meeting?"

The head referee just took out the pill and placed it on the table with the pill that was already there without saying a thing. He made a gesture for the two of them to check the pill themselves.

Both of the people who had been in office looked at the pill. They had calm looks on their faces at first, but then they couldn't help revealing looks of shock as they moved in closer to examine the pill that the head referee had just brought in.

The person who this office belonged to was the president of this branch and the new person who was having a meeting with the president was the vice president. Both of them were Alchemy Masters, so naturally they were qualified to examine this pill.

The reason that they had been so shocked was that this pill was the same as the pill that Yuki had refined. Both of these pills had over 95% purity!

This was something that neither of them could do, it was even something that was hard for the alchemists of the Alchemy King Hall headquarters to do.

The vice president was the one who recovered first as he asked, "Where did you get this pill?"

The head referee took out the list that he had and pointed out Lin Fan on the list before saying, "I didn't see it because I was here talking to the president during that time, but it seems like there's another monster that joined the exam this time as well."

Both the vice president and the president stared at the two pills on the desk again and both of them had looks of deep thought on their faces. However, in their eyes, there were flashes of excitement.

While they were curious why there were two monsters that had shown up at the same time, they were excited since the Alchemy King Hall had seen a lack of talent recently. Other than the disciple that the Alchemy Master had accepted, there weren't any other talented young alchemists.

With this lack of talent, the future of the Alchemy King Hall had seemed dim, but now there were two monsters that had just appeared.

Even if there was some hidden story behind why they had appeared at the same time, they were still alchemists and would have to go through the Alchemy King Hall for any future achievements. That meant that as long as they didn't deliberately target the Alchemy King Hall, there was no way for them to have a negative relationship with the Alchemy King Hall.

As for targeting the Alchemy King Hall, they were the most neutral faction out of the twelve great factions, so that was even more impossible.

The president finally said, "Find out as much information as you can about them. I want to know every single thing about them so we can avoid any mishaps. We have to pull them into our Alchemy King Hall."

Then after a pause, he turned to the vice president and said, "Come with me to the headquarters right now. We have to report this to them and let the elders prepare themselves." Then he revealed a smile and said, "No matter which elder takes them in, we're sure to receive the benefits as long as we inform them ahead of time."

The vice president also revealed a smile and nodded in response to this.

The head referee stood on the side with a smile as well.

It seemed like they would be quite busy tonight.

…

When Lin Fan returned to the Hunters Organization, he found that Yuki and Angela were already back and they had gone out to play with Xiao Tu.

Since he was the one who had registered their watches, he was also able to track them through their watches with the guardian feature that he had installed. That was right, he was treating the two of them like children…

It didn't take him long to find them, the three of them had been in an ice cream shop enjoying some fresh ice cream.

Based on the number of bowls that were on their table and the number of waiters that were by their table with empty and full bowls, Lin Fan could guess that they've already had a lot. Then looking at the prices on the wall, his heart suddenly started to ache.

Just like with the Blue Star Planet, the food culture wasn't as developed in this Galactic Humanity Alliance, so foods like ice cream were considered expensive luxuries. This store was a place that only the rich were able to enjoy since foods like ice cream were in very short supply due to limited resources.

Neither Angela or Yuki had any money for this upper realm since they didn't work, so the account that their watches were linked to was Lin Fan's account.

That meant that he would be the one paying for everything.

His heart hurt as much as the president's heart had hurt this morning when he saw the bill for their meal last night…

After all, these two girls might seem slim, but they were bottomless holes when it came to food…

But still, there was nothing that Lin Fan could do, so he just accepted it.

When he came closer and he was able to hear their conversation, he couldn't help knitting his brows.

These two girls were talking about how they had beaten up the Kong Family earlier, but based on the words they were using, it seemed like they hadn't held back…

If they didn't hold back and used their real power, wouldn't they be discovered?

Lin Fan quickly cut in and asked, "How much power did you use?"
