"Join the alchemy tournant."
It was a very simple notification, but the aning of the words were anything but simple.
It was another side mission that the system released in response to the Great Elder talking about the alchemy tournant.
After being surprised for a bit, I asked the system, "I don’t know anything about alchemy, how can I join the tournant?"
The system just calmly replied, "Host, you only have to join the tournant, there’s no need for you to achieve a high ranking."
"Huh?" I was even more confused when I heard this.
Joining a tournant...it usually ant wanting to perform well and getting a top spot. However, the system’s side mission was just to get to join the tournant without any expectations.
It almost seed too good to be true...
Like there was sothing that the system wasn’t telling .
"Host, please do not doubt the good intentions of the system. This is a mission that is done for the benefit of the host."
"Is it?" I couldn’t help asking.
But this ti, the system didn’t say anything which made feel even more like there was sothing that the system was hiding from . It seed like there was sothing that the system just didn’t want to tell about...
Eventually, the system had no choice but to say, "Host, this system is here for the host and the host alone. The system would never do anything to harm the host."
I couldn’t help being surprised when I heard this, but eventually I said, "I know. Sotis I even think that you’re too good for ."
The system just simply said, "The system was created for the host, so the system belongs to the host and no one else."
"I’m counting on you then." That was all I could say when I heard this.
The system didn’t respond, but it was clear that a small bond had been forged between us because of this.
Now what I had to do was...
"I’ll join that alchemy tournant." I suddenly said, cutting off the elders who had been discussing who to send.
All of them were surprised by suddenly saying this before knitting their brows.
Elder Wang, who was in charge of the Alchemy Hall, narrowed his eyes to look at before asking, "What do you know about alchemy? Do you even know anything?"
I just shook my head and said, "I know nothing at all about alchemy."
It wasn’t just Elder Wang, the lips of all the elders twitched when they heard this.
It was clear that there was only one thing that was on their minds...
"If you don’t know anything about alchemy, why are you trying to join an alchemy tournant?"
They just looked at as if they were waiting for to say anything else to defend myself, but I just stood there with a calm look on my face like I wasn’t bothered at all by the way that they were looking at .
I even had a look of confidence, like I was almost certain that I would be allowed to join.
There was an irritated feeling that filled Elder Wang when he heard this that kept growing until he couldn’t help saying, "What do you think you’re doing? Do you think that this is a joke? This is an important tournant for our sect and you’re just..."
Before he could finish the scolding that he had prepared, the Great Elder suddenly raised his hand to stop him.
Elder Wang looked at him with a confused look, but the Great Elder just shook his head before turning to look at Lin Fan.
Narrowing his eyes, Yao Fu slowly said, "You just want to enter the tournant? Is there a special reason?"
I was surprised to hear this from him, but there was a trace of admiration that filled when I heard this.
As expected of the Great Elder, he was able to pick up that there was sothing else even though I didn’t say anything. After all, it wasn’t as if I could just straight up admit that I had sothing like the system, right?
So the only thing that I could do was act the sa way as before and hope that soone picked sothing up.
With a smile, I said, "I just want to gain so experience."
All of the elders looked shocked when they heard this before looking like they wanted to beat up. Elder Wang was the one that looked like he wanted to flay the most, but he was being held back by the Great Elder.
Yao Fu just kept looking at for a bit with eyes that seed like he was scoping out.
In the end, he said with a nod, "Alright, we can give you a spot if that’s what you really want."
"Thank you, Great Elder." I said while cupping my hands and giving a bow to him.
There was sincere respect for the Great Elder in my voice at this mont since I could tell that he wasn’t just doing this on a whim. It seed like he had picked up on sothing and he was following this thing that he had picked up on.
But I also knew that I couldn’t leave it like this since there would certainly be people that would be unhappy because of this. So it wasn’t as if I could just take that spot without doing sothing to make up for it.
As a prodigal young master, this was what I did best.
If there was anything that I had, it was money thanks to my system.
And if there was anything that people couldn’t resist, it was money.
That was where greed ca from in this world.
I turned to Elder Wang who was surprised to see suddenly turn to look at him.
Elder Wang slowly said, "What is..."
Before he could finish, I suddenly said, "Elder Wang, I’ll provide so compensation to the Alchemy Hall!"
