Chapter 910
Chapter 910
After the assessment ended, apart from Fang Yu, no one else passed. This made the two guild leaders extremely grim. They hadn't expected that even their most beloved disciple would fail the assessment. They had thought their disciple would pass, but he still failed. It was incredibly disappointing, utterly disappointing, to a degree they couldn't even imagine.
"You don't need to worry so much. They will pass the assessment soon. Besides participating in this assessment, I have another matter that I need your help with. If you help me successfully, I guarantee that I will give you some benefits. I won't let you help for nothing. Please rest assured about that."
Faced with Fang Yu's audacious words, the two guild leaders looked at each other in disbelief. Even their disciples were astonished, as it was the first time they had ever seen someone dare to speak to their master like that.
"Don't be so surprised, there's nothing to be surprised about. In short, I'm only here to obtain the identity of an alchemist, nothing else. Of course, besides that, I have another matter to ask you to help me find the things in this. If you can find them, that's great; if not, it's alright. It doesn't matter to me. I just want to find what's inside. These things are really nothing to me. I just hope you can put in a little effort and do your best to help. Nothing else is very important. As long as you can do it, I can guarantee you'll be rewarded, and it might even help you improve your strength. I'm quite confident about that. If I weren't confident, I wouldn't be wasting my time here with you. It's precisely because I'm confident that I'm saying all this to you. Actually, I'd rather not bother saying these things to you."
Fang Yu's arrogant words immediately enraged the somewhat fiery-tempered girl. Before she could speak, Fang Yu glared at her, extinguishing all her anger as if doused with cold water. It was completely extinguished because, in the face of Fang Yu's overwhelming power, her abilities were utterly insignificant and useless, not even a tenth of his. Under these circumstances, she had no choice but to extinguish her anger.
"Don't be angry, please don't be angry. If you get angry, you might lose your life, which is not a good thing. You should know this very well. If you don't, the consequences will be very serious. You should also understand this. So, you should know what's coming next. Don't say any more bad things. To be honest, those bad things are really meaningless and worthless, absolutely worthless. If they had even the slightest meaning or value, we wouldn't be here. This is what I need. Thank you for your help. Once you find it, I will definitely meet your requirements. I can guarantee that."
Fang Yu took out a list of materials and handed it to Otto, one of the two presidents.
When President Otto glanced at the list of materials that Fang Yu presented, his expression instantly changed from a beaming smile to an extremely ugly one.
Because every single material listed on this list is rare, and each one is quite rare in the entire empire. There are even several rare materials that he has only heard of but never seen. Now that Fang Yu wants him to help him get them, it is simply wishful thinking, impossible, and there is absolutely no possibility of it.
"Don't get agitated, don't get agitated. Even if you do get agitated, don't do it in front of me. It's useless because I don't buy it. You just need to do as I say and get me what I need. The rest is your own business and has nothing to do with me. In fact, these things are not my responsibility because I have no obligation to deal with them. If you can't get them, you can give me a definite answer. Just tell me who has these things. I know this is a bit against my principles, but I believe you won't care because I know your abilities. If you don't tell me, it's not a big deal either. These things are not a big deal for me, and I can find them myself. However, in this way, it will be impossible for you to make me owe you a favor in the future. After all, you haven't helped me in any way, so I don't owe you a favor. Don't you think that makes sense? Actually, I don't want to owe anyone a favor. Now I'm giving you this opportunity, so please don't let me down!"
Fang Yu's words made the two men's expressions even more gloomy and uncertain, because they hadn't expected Fang Yu to be so domineering, actually getting them to procure so many rare materials. Then Master Otto continued, "..."
"Sir, it's not that we're unwilling to help you obtain these materials, but they are simply too rare. Even for someone of our status, acquiring them wouldn't be easy and would likely cause trouble. So, these materials are truly not so easy to obtain. If it were just a few items, it wouldn't be a problem, but to get all of them is simply impossible. Let alone us, even if we gathered the entire empire's resources, whether we could obtain these materials is still unknown. Therefore, we hope you can understand and be considerate, and not blame us, okay? That way, we can have an explanation."
"If you can only get a few items, that's fine too. As long as you get them, that's all that matters. I don't really care how many there are. I know these materials are quite rare, and it's normal that you can't get them all with your abilities. I also hope you won't look at me like that anymore. It's meaningless. You know, it doesn't mean anything at all. If you had even the slightest intention, you wouldn't be like this. Actually, I really don't know what to say or do. In short, let things take their course. Just get whatever you can. I can find them myself, as long as you tell me where they are. Whether they're on a person or a monster, it doesn't matter. The important thing is that you just tell me where they are, and I can handle the rest."
Fang Yu's words shocked everyone; everyone found it unbelievable.
"Alright, you don't need to be shocked here. Everything I've said is the truth, the facts. Whether you believe it or not, everything I've said is true, without a single falsehood. I hope you understand this. Don't think about those bad things. Those bad things are not good for you, because you already know they are bad. So don't be clever and go looking for death. Just think about it, but don't be clever, because doing so will only lead to your demise. There will be no benefit whatsoever, and you won't end up well. I hope you understand this, and I hope you are clear about this point. Don't think about it, don't do it. This will only benefit you, without any harm whatsoever. This is a fact, and it's the truth. I hope you understand this."
"Alright, alright, I've made myself perfectly clear. Do whatever you want, just don't cause me any trouble. As long as you don't cause me any trouble, you can say whatever you want, do whatever you want, I won't have any objections, not even the slightest one. If I had even the slightest objection, things wouldn't have come to this. Don't you think that makes sense? I think that's the obvious point, and I hope you can understand it. Stop thinking about those messy things; there's really no need to think about them. Really, all you need to do is bring these things to me."
"Sir, you're saying all this just to stall for time, or do you have some other purpose?"
Master Otto's words made Fang Yu laugh, and then he nodded and said, "Actually, I've been in the mountains for too long, with no one to talk to, so I came out to find someone to talk to. I didn't expect you to destroy my plans so easily. Sigh, you really didn't give me any face. But since that's the case, I have nothing to hide. This is indeed my purpose. I want to find someone to talk to, hoping that everything can be resolved, that everything can be resolved. This can only benefit me, without any harm. You should understand that. I only want to resolve everything, not anything else. I just want to resolve everything. Once everything is resolved, there will be no problem. That's my purpose, and I want to finish doing all this, to resolve everything. This way, there can only be benefits for me, without any harm whatsoever."
"Sir, we are very curious about your identity. What exactly is your identity? Why do you give us a dangerous feeling? Really, you give us a very dangerous feeling, and this feeling makes us have to be careful and vigilant."
Master Otto's gaze towards Fang Yu changed; it was filled with wariness and suspicion.
"Because my strength is superior to yours. If it weren't for that reason, how could I be here telling you all this? It is precisely because of this reason that I am able to stay here and tell you all this. Do you know that if it weren't for this reason, how could I have accomplished all of this?"
"Don't underestimate me. My strength is definitely above yours. Whether you believe it or not is your own business and has nothing to do with me. I won't do such things. To be honest, your talents are only so-so, not great, but they're still acceptable. There's nothing more to say."
"Are you referring to our alchemy skills, or our talent for cultivation?"
This was Master Otto's question, because he felt that Fang Yu was very dangerous, but if he could capture him, it might be a tremendous opportunity.
"It's naturally your talent for alchemy. If it weren't for your talent, I wouldn't be here talking to you at all. It's precisely because of your talent that I'm here. However, while your talent is decent, it's not exceptionally outstanding. Sigh, to be honest, I'm somewhat disappointed, but it wasn't a wasted trip either. Please help me find these things. If you find them, I definitely won't let you down. If you can't find them, then it just means you're unlucky. If you're unlucky, then don't blame me for being impolite."
"Does the master mean that our alchemy talent is decent, not too bad?"
The two apprentices were dumbfounded by what their teacher said.
"Your alchemy talent is only so-so, not too bad, but not too good either. Overall, you have a chance at the fifth rank, but forget about the sixth rank. If you want to advance to the sixth rank, you'll have to find a way to get the right opportunity. If you don't, you know the consequences yourself."
“I see, thank you for your guidance, sir.”
Upon hearing Fang Yu's words of guidance, the two presidents immediately bowed to him.
"Alright, alright, you don't need to say any more of this. Just keep working hard. Reaching this point is already a huge stroke of luck for you. Going any further is practically impossible, and there's nothing we can do about it. Sigh, it's your talent that's what it is. If your talent were even slightly better, things wouldn't be like this. But unfortunately, your talent isn't great, though it's not terrible either. It's just okay. Alright, I've said everything I needed to say, and I've also said what I shouldn't have. I just hope you remember what I said and stop thinking about those things."
"We have taken your reminder to heart, sir, and we promise we will not let you down. Please rest assured on that point." (End of Chapter)
