Chapter 76: Prodigy Roll
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
If it was really the so-called Multicolored Sky Gu, how could Fang Yuan sell it?
That was truly a legendary Gu worm.
It was as rare as a tribulation transcending expert.
When the Gu stone was cut halfway, Fang Yuan had already seen the inside of it through the True Sight Gu.
It was indeed a dead Gu. Even its bloodline patterns had disappeared, and it had already turned into a fossil.
As for how the rainbow light was produced, Fang Yuan did not know.
There were all kinds of strange things in this world. It was normal to not understand some things.
But what he was sure of was that after that Gu Stone was cut open, it was absolutely worthless!
That was why he had kept a trick up his sleeve.
He had specially created a commotion to bid.
He did not expect that there would really be people who were blinded by greed and fell for it.
“Sigh, I reckon that Fanshu City’s gambling den will blacklist me in the future.”
Fang Yuan was a little melancholic. This was undoubtedly cutting off a long-term source of income.
Li Tongzhou still did not quite understand how Fang Yuan knew that there was a dead Gu inside.
Fang Yuan naturally would not explain too much.
After leaving the stone gambling dens, the three of them began to stroll around the city.
Fang Yuan was somewhat absent-minded.
He was calculating how many primeval stones he still lacked and where he should go to make up for it.
Zhang Wenbin had previously said that his wealth was something his family could not earn in three years.
What he meant was that the Fang family could earn it in four years, but the difference in three and four years was not too big.
According to his family’s income of 30,000 primeval stones a year from goods, so he could only provide Fang Yuan with another 100,000 or so primeval stones.
On the other hand, he had just earned 160,000 after deducting the cost of betting on stones, which added up to a little more than 570,000 in total with the money he had on hand.
Compared to the target of a million primeval stones, there was still a big gap.
Was he really going to borrow the money from the Xu Family?
It was close to 300,000 primeval stones. How long would he have to pay it back.
Although it was not that Fang Yuan could not afford it, the feeling of owing money to others was very uncomfortable. He did not want to do this.
When he passed by a clothing shop, Xu Zhiyu suddenly stopped.
“Brother Fang, shall we go in and have a look?”
Fang Yuan had no mood to see clothes, and immediately shook his head, “Miss Xu, you can go alone, I’ll wait for you outside.”
“All right then…”
Xu Zhiyu saw that Fang Yuan had some troubles, so she did not force him, and walked into the shop alone.
Li Tongzhou, who was on the side, came over.
A dirty voice sounded in his ear.
“Senior, are you worried about how you will get along with Senior Wan and Miss Xu in the future?”
“Fuck off!” Fang Yuan cursed, then sighed, “I’m thinking about how to earn 300,000 primeval stones in these two days.”
“Senior, why do you need so many primeval stones?”
Li Tongzhou raised his eyebrows, “Oh~ you also want to bid for that Gu worm? Alright, I’m right here!”
Fang Yuan glanced at him, “I just don’t want to borrow money, that’s why I didn’t tell you.”
“Who said I was going to lend you!” Li Tongzhou snorted, “Moreover, even if you want to borrow, I don’t have so much money to lend you.”
“You have other ways?”
“Of course!”
Li Tongzhou smiled smugly and gave Fang Yuan an indescribable expression, as if he wanted him to beg.
Thus, he gave Fang Yuan another blow to the head.
“Stop giving me riddles, or I’ll tell Wan Qian about your embarrassing incident in Thousand Blade Valley. Let’s see if she’ll teach you a lesson!”
“Fuck! Don’t!” Li Tongzhou turned pale with fright. “It’s been so long, why do you still remember it?”
Fang Yuan said snappily, “If you don’t want me to, hurry up and tell me.”
“Senior, have you heard of the Prodigy Roll?” Li Tongzhou said mysteriously.
“Prodigy Roll?”
Fang Yuan really did not have any impression of it.
Li Tongzhou spoke confidently and started to explain Fang Yuan’s doubts.
“The so-called Prodigy Roll is to rank the top one hundred Gu masters in our Jiuzhou who are not yet twenty-five years old within the various empires’ territories. There are a total of three rankings, divided into three parts. Heaven, Earth and Human.”
“The Heaven Roll records the sect Gu masters, the Earth Roll records the empire Gu masters, and the Human Roll records the secular clans and lone cultivator Gu masters.”
Fang Yuan frowned slightly, “Are there any differences between these three rankings? And what does it have to do with earning money?”
“The difference is huge. With different identities, you cannot challenge people on different rankings. For example, Senior, you are a Gu Immortal Sect disciple now, so you can only challenge experts on the Heaven Roll. You cannot bully experts on the Earth Roll and the Human Roll.”
Li Tongzhou continued. “Also, when you win, you will replace the other party’s ranking, receive a certain amount of rewards, and you will receive a lot of cultivation resources every month.”
Fang Yuan finally understood. This was very similar to the rankings in games.
It recorded the strongest people in all aspects.
However, he still had a question.
“Who distributes these rewards?”
“Of course it’s the empire!”
Li Tongzhou chuckled. “There are a total of five countries in Jiuzhou. Among them, we have the most rewards on the Prodigy Roll. For example, for the position on the Heaven Roll, even at the last place, you can get a reward of 500,000 primeval stones!”
“That much?”
Fang Yuan was shocked. They could get hundreds of thousands of primeval stones just for ranking?
“Of course.”
Li Tongzhou’s face was full of pride. “After all, they are the top 100 people in our country. How could they not take good care of them?”
Fang Yuan thought about it and agreed.
500,000 primeval stones was not even a drop in the ocean for the entire empire. This little reward in exchange for a sense of belonging to the country was definitely a good deal.
Fang Yuan was instantly moved.
In the end, Li Tongzhou immediately poured cold water on him. “But Senior, you have to be prepared. Those people on the Prodigy Roll are all freaks, each and every one of them is ridiculously strong. Previously, I challenged the person in the 100th place on the Earth Roll, but in two moves, he beat me to the ground.”
Fang Yuan stared at him, “You are not me. You’re only at the Foundation Establishment Stage, so you haven’t even touched the true threshold of Gu masters, and you still want to defeat the top group of people?”
Saying so, he was stunned again.
Li Tongzhou was challenging someone on the Earth Roll, so didn’t this mean…
He was from the empire?
He could not tell.
Li Tongzhou, this playboy, was actually a second generation official.
“Very good, I like your unruly appearance. Keep it up Senior!”
Li Tongzhou had a strange smile, “I hope you can still maintain this demeanor after fighting those freaks.”
“I am fighting freaks!”
Fang Yuan was naturally not afraid of those heaven’s favorites. As a Gu master, if he did not have that indomitable aura, why would he refine Gu and beg for longevity?
He kicked Li Tongzhou’s butt. “Lead the way, I want to try it out.”
Li Tongzhou was stunned: “Are you really going?”
“Otherwise, since we have talked about it so much, how can I not try?”
“Then Miss Xu…”
“I almost forgot about her.”
Fang Yuan slapped his forehead. “Let’s go in.. We’ll send her home first.”
