Chapter 496: You Won!
Since the mission asked for him to kill a flourishing Gold Immortal, that’s what he’d do.
Lao Zhongtou continued, “General Zhao Wuming gave a harsh rebuke to Faceless’ tyrannical regime. The Faceless didn’t accept and fought. Yet the outcome was in Zhao Wuming’s favor, suppressing the Faceless with just his finger!”
Chen Ming laughed and slapped Duan Shou’s shoulder, “Man, so embarrassing!”
Lao Zhongtou kept going, “Faceless admitted defeat at this time. If not for Zhao Wuming’s kind heart, sparing him, the Faceless would’ve been dust now...”
Once the story was over, Chen Ming nodded, “Nice, now I’m in a good mood. Let’s do it.”
Duan Shou rose and released his Gold Immortal might with a shout, “Any who wants to live, scram!”
Cultivators and personnel ran like a storm. Something big was about to happen.
Zhao Wuming drank his wine without care, They must be from the other three Domains. Faceless men, uh, they always kill in from the shadows. There’s no Faceless here.
Zhao Wuming asked, “I wonder what business you have with me?”
Chen Ming smiled, “Are you Zhao Wuming?”
He laughed, “That is my name and I’m proud of it!”
Chen Ming’s tone was serious, “Then it’s no mistake, you won! You got second place in our Master’s program, an immortal set and immortal pills. But wait, there’s more. You also have the privilege to use our traveling agency and go to a never before seen treasure land (inside a soul weapon). You will live there for all eternity (devoured by the soul weapon), in a house built from soul weapon materials (Nine Year Cicada). You have total peace and quiet, never disturbed by other residents (other devoured souls)!”
Zhao Wuming was in shock, What the hell is going on?
“You’re telling me you came here to give me a prize?”
Chen Ming nodded, “Yes, as long as you pay the low, low income tax of a thousand spirit stones, you will receive the immortal set and pills!”
Zhao Wuming snapped, “Friends, if you want to say something, say it. Don’t take the scenic route with me!”
Chen Ming clapped, “Take them out!”
Duan Shou took out a suit of armor and a weapon, as well as recovery pills, cultivation pills, and restoring pills; immortal grade of course.
Chen Ming said, “We will include this bottle of immortal pills as a congratulatory gift. If you are please by its effect, they’re yours. As for why we acted like this, I’m sure you understand. Wealth breeds greed!
“Sir, please try to bind the equipment. If you can’t, we can bring out another!”
Zha Wuming was struck dumb. The immortal equipment Chen Ming took out was ownerless and a top-ranked one. He never touched one in his life, yet here were people throwing it into his lap!
Is there something wrong with this world?
He tried his hand at binding it, I say, nailed it on first try!
Zhao Wuming said, “I accept the armor, as for the thousand spirit stones, please wait for a bit!”
Chen Ming smiled, “No problem! Please try these immortal pills. The products of our Master’s program are no third-rate goods!”
Zhao Wuming had no clue what this program thing was about, but these were clearly immortal pills.
He reached for one, yet hesitated. He broke one in two and gave half to Chen Ming, “You try it first!”
Chen Ming’s thoughts, If not for the flourishing requirement, you think Immortal Master Chen would play around for so long?
He took off his hat and exposed his face, though no one recognized him anyway, and ate the half.
Zhao Wuming relaxed and ate the other half. His body improved!
Zhao Wuming was overjoyed, “Good pill, a marvel!”
Chen Ming presented the other types, “Please try these two!”
Zhao Wuming no longer hesitated and opened his eyes once he finished digesting them, “Amazing, I want all three types!”
Chen Ming was pleased, “Try out the armor, sir, and you will become a martial god. If it’s too short or long, please tell us to rectify it!”
Zhao Wuming smiled, “You’re so considerate. Alright!”
He put on the golden armor and swaggered around, feeling mighty fine in it.
“Fits perfectly!”
Chen Ming said, “Good. Now is time for questions. Please tell us, have you seen where Master went?”
Zhao Wuming’s heart skipped a beat, Nope! “I have, I have!”
When cooking a duck, one must not let it fly away.
Chen Ming continued, “Next question, where exactly did Master go?”
Zhao Wuming mulled it over, “He went where he should!”
Chen Ming rested his hand on Nine Year Cicada, I knew you’re gonna say that!
Then again, that’s not false you know!
Chen Ming kept his impatience on a tight leash, “Last question, what is Master’s name?”
Zha Wuming looked at it from all possible angles, and was ready to say a passable answer, then bolt.
“Master!”
Chen Ming frowned, “Fellow Daoist, you never saw Master and want to dupe us in taking the reward. I hate posers and fakers. I’m sorry, but I’ll have to kill you!”
Chen Ming drew his blade.
It was not that Chen Ming liked to waste time prattling on, but the mission asked for this. He couldn’t sucker-punch him and had to do it in the open.
Zhao Wuming said, “Why is it suddenly like this? Isn’t there some misunderstanding here?”
Chen Ming was close to boiling from impatience. With his temper, the blade would’ve hacked him by now.
He spoke, “Go, don’t let others disturb us!”
Duan Shou smiled, “Relax, Sire, no one will come mess up your fight!”
