Chapter 53 Playoffs (Part 1)
Although these materials are rare, they are not expensive. After searching, Ge Zheng still has a lot of information for sale. He chose to choose one with the quality and price, and chose to order it.
After ordering, the union staff came over to sign an agreement with him. "Sir, are you an adventurer? If you are an adventurer, you can enjoy a certain discount based on your level."
When Ge Zheng heard this, he suddenly remembered that he was also an "adventurer", although he had only done one mission. "Oh, I am, this is my badge." He searched in the storage ring for a while before finding the Adventurer badge that had been thrown in the corner.
"Hiss..." The staff member took a breath, held the badge in his hand and looked over and over again, then kept looking up, and Ge Zheng was swept to the corner of his eyes.
Ge Zheng was surprised: "Is there any problem?" "Is this badge yours own?" The staff member saw the Level 6 Alchemist badge on Ge Zheng's chest and asked uncertainly.
Ge Zheng nodded: "Of course, but I only borrowed a task once, so I am not very familiar with the rules of the union."
The staff member's feet became soft and he almost fell to the ground. "It turned out to be him!"
The legend of the year who was promoted to the five-star adventurer after registering for two hours - it is widely circulated among the staff of the Adventurer Union. Many adventurers are very dissatisfied with this mysterious "codename 68970". Of course, many people admire him and regard him as their idol and their goal.
Becoming famous overnight will inevitably face two extreme gazes.
This staff member belongs to the latter. The clerk is in a mess every day, who can have no dreams? If you become famous overnight like "codename 68970", gold coins, beautiful women of the six clans, heroic status, what you want!
He flipped over the badge and a line of words behind him: Adventurer code 68970.
"It's him!" The worker's attitude immediately made a 180-degree turn, and said charmingly: "Great Adventurer, please, there is a rest place in the membership area and free fruit wine drinks. Wait a minute, I'll pour you a glass!"
"Uh..." Ge Zheng was a little unacceptable for a moment, and he didn't understand why he suddenly came to spring.
The staff member led him into the membership area where he had to pay gold coins to enter, and then he really respectfully sent him a glass of delicious fruit wine!
To be honest, Ge Zheng cannot bring him any benefits, but he is an idol. Star chasing cannot bring any actual benefits to fans, but they are much crazy than the child caregivers who gave them money.
"Fruit wine is the best dream of Orchid here. I have specially replaced you with a new cup. Please enjoy it with confidence. You can rest for a while, and I will help you with everything soon." The staff member finished speaking, without delaying for a moment, and ran to go through the procedures. Ge Zheng held the fruit wine and wondered: What's going on?
Less than one-third of the fruit wine in the cup, the staff member had already helped Ge Zheng with the highest efficiency: "Great Adventurer, please sign here. OK, the procedures have been completed. I will handle it through the priority channel. You will be able to get what you ordered tomorrow, and the total price is 12,000 gold coins."
Ge Zheng has calculated that the total price of these materials is 20,000 gold coins. This is a short loss of 8,000 yuan. This is not a small amount.
"How come it's so much cheaper?" he asked. "That's right. You are a five-star adventurer. The highest discount you can enjoy is 30% off. I used some welfare terms from the union staff to help you get a 10% discount, so it's just 12,000 gold coins. I'm sorry that I've delayed your precious time..."
"Wait!" Ge Zheng interrupted him: "Tell me clearly why I treat me so favorably?" He put down his wine glass, and he would not feel at ease if he didn't say it clearly.
"Because you are a five-star adventurer!" the staff said in an extremely admiring tone.
"What is the five-star adventurer? Oh, are you talking about the five stars on the badge?" Before Ge Zheng could figure it out, the staff member clenched his fists and was very excited: "You are our idol. I am so excited to see you! There are many colleagues outside who admire you like me, and they also want to see you, I don't know..." Ge Zheng subconsciously fired his head, and the man was overjoyed and suddenly opened a door next to him. A group of young staff from the Adventurer Union rushed in, and the images in his hand were magic light flashing constantly...
Ge Zheng went all out to escape from the group of crazy staff. He held his badge in his hand and carefully tidied it: It turned out that the old man had stamped five seals without a sound, destroying the perfection of my badge, and there was such a big mystery.
From the mouths of those admirers, Ge Zheng roughly understood the meaning of the five-star adventurer. At least the person in front of him was an individual, and he must be very dissatisfied with him. The level he received after being born and died, and was a life-and-death one, he got it in less than two hours. Hearing the meaning of those admirers, the other ten five-star adventurers did not recognize themselves.
...
When Ge Zheng returned to the inn, Princess Feifei looked anxious: "Teacher, you are finally back." Ge Zheng was stunned: "What happened?" In the main hall, except for those who were following him, Gronia and Decmont, who should have been actively preparing for the war, came.
"Master," Dirkmont stood up and said, "Your Majesty just issued an order that the three alchemists from the three major priests in the south will participate in the Royal Challenge."
Ge Zheng smiled indifferently and said, "Didn't you say it long ago?" Dirkmont said, "It's participating in the Royal Challenge, not just participating in the finals."
Ge Zheng was stunned again: "Tell me clearly."
"After yesterday's top 16, Sharayaga asked to see His Majesty the Emperor and made a suggestion, asking the three alchemists from the three major priests to refine one piece of equipment for the players in each game, and the players will choose it themselves. The winners and losses between the alchemists will be determined according to the help of the players in the game."
"Isn't this unfair?" Ge Zheng shouted: "If you pick a player with good equipment, you will definitely get more help in the competition."
Deckmont said: "Picking equipment that suits you is also part of your strength. There is nothing unfair about it. If you have poor eyesight and choose poor ones, you can only blame yourself for being unlucky."
Ge Zheng thought, it seemed to make sense to say this. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Why, the cow was teased by us last time, and I can't wait for the final to get back to the factory?"
"I'm afraid it's not that simple." After all, Dirkmont is a royal family, and some things are known through different channels: "It is said that the cow yesterday... Oh, no, it was His Highness Princess Sharayaga. When she met His Majesty the Emperor, she was surrounded by the alchemist who came with her this time."
"His Majesty the Emperor resounded through this opportunity to show his strength to the countries on the mainland to shock the opponents in the dark. Alchemy has always been the weakness of the Aosta Empire. It seems that Princess Salad gave His Majesty confidence last night, so she wanted to show the development of Aosta's alchemy to all countries more directly and more conspicuously."
Everyone understood what Deckmont meant, and showed a worried look at him at the same time. Gronia said: "The Principality of Yaga and the Principality of Selkin are both competing for the alchemy equations. Obviously, they have recruited the wise alchemists, otherwise it would be useless to retake the area."
Her words made everyone even more worried. Ge Zheng looked at the faces of everyone and smiled softly: "I'm not worried, what are you afraid of?" He patted Derkmont: "What are the specific rules of the alchemist competition?"
"A piece of equipment is refined within two hours before the competition by the materials specified by the Royal Chief Alchemist. After the competition, the results of the Royal Challenge will not affect the results of the Alchemist. The three famous alchemists who have been crowned with the Royal Canon jointly judge the victory or defeat."
"So it's quick refining." Ge Zheng was a little bored to play this kind of "game" with Paracelsus under the cloak of the goddess of wisdom. Unexpectedly, someone wanted to defeat him in quick refining. Ge Zheng's mouth curled up a little, and he smiled with a knowing smile that was not easy to detect.
"The good news is that because the game has been added, the prize money has been increased accordingly. The winner of the sixteen-to-eight game will receive a huge bounty of 40,000 gold coins, and the loser will also have 20,000. In the subsequent game, each game will double. In fact, if you can reach the top 16, everyone will get more than 100,000 gold coins." Deckmont himself also deeply understood: "But only the winners will have rewards, and the number is the same as the warriors."
Ge Zheng curled his lips: "It's indeed a noble game..."
Deckmont continued: "There are eight games today, and the one selected is the match between His Highness the Third Prince and Bill Mondo. The topic has been announced, here, you can see it yourself."
Because of the addition of this project, the competition originally held in the morning was transferred to the afternoon, and the proposition was arranged in the morning, and two hours were spared at noon. The three alchemists would be invited to the Royal Alchemy Laboratory to refine their own works according to the proposition.
Ge Zheng took the paper and listed some powerful alchemy materials. Dirkmont said: "It's not too much time, it's time for us to set off." Ge Zheng responded randomly for a few bites of lunch, and was rushed to the Nar Palace by Dirkmont.
Deckmont specially prepared a carriage for Ge Zheng, so that he could think about how to refine it in a quiet environment.
The carriage passed by a snack shop, and a fragrance came. Ge Zheng had been entangled with a group of worshippers for a long time in the morning, exhausting his energy. He didn't eat much just now. At this time, he smelled the fragrance and protested with a stomachache. Ge Zheng opened the window and said, "Stop."
