Chapter 153: A Small Target Achieved!
Li Sanqing did not understand what Zhang Ze meant at first.
Fortunately, there was someone sensible nearby. Lu Mingyu let out a weird, cackling laugh and grinned at Li Sanqing, saying, "Watch me~"
Then, this guy stretched his neck and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Anqing Martial Arts Academy students Lu Mingyu and Zhang Ze blew up the First Garrison City of Blood Moon City and returned in triumph~"
"Anqing Martial Arts Academy students Lu Mingyu and Zhang Ze ransacked a high-grade warrior's mansion, blew up a garrison city, and successfully frightened the Blood Moon City enemy forces into retreat~"
Lu Mingyu shouted with all his might, and he made sure to put his name before Zhang Ze's. As for Li Sanqing standing right beside him...
He forgot him completely!
"Anqing Martial Arts Academy's Lu Mingyu~"
Hearing him shout this with his neck stretched out from behind Li Sanqing, Zhang Ze instantly wanted to draw his sword and kill him!
Damn it~
You have no shame at all!
What do you mean by "you, Lu Mingyu, blew up the garrison city"?
You are truly, utterly shameless!
......
Zhang Ze was forced to swallow his bitter pill in silence because he was severely injured and couldn't even shout out!
Sure enough, garrison soldiers and martial arts academy students quickly surrounded the three of them.
After all, Zhang Ze was still a newcomer. Although he had made a name for himself last time, he wasn't as well-known as Lu Mingyu.
As these people discussed the event, their focus was entirely on Lu Mingyu. As for Zhang Ze...
He was left out in the cold!
Someone muttered inwardly to himself, "You just wait until my injuries heal!"
"I'll show you how I'm going to beat the living daylights out of you~"
Right at that moment, instructor Wu Di and the other instructors from the Anqing Martial Arts Academy hurried over.
Seeing Zhang Ze in such a state, Wu Di felt a pang of sympathy in his heart.
Behind him, Xie Xun and the other instructors couldn't help but nod repeatedly at Zhang Ze. Obviously, in these people's minds, Lu Mingyu's credibility was virtually zero.
This, at least, gave Zhang Ze a bit of self-consolation.
Wu Di walked up to them, swallowed back the scolding that was already on his lips, and instead stared coldly at Li Sanqing.
"Was blowing up the vein your idea?"
"Yes~"
Li Sanqing didn't argue.
Wu Di pressed the matter no further. He took out a pale red medicinal pill and fed it into Zhang Ze's mouth.
The latter was slightly startled. Once the pill entered his stomach, it instantly transformed into several streams of pure energy.
Zhang Ze could immediately feel his injuries rapidly healing.
From the looks on the faces of Xie Xun and the others nearby, Zhang Ze could tell that this medicinal pill was extremely precious!
......
"Teacher, I~"
"If you ever act on your own like that again, I'll break your legs!"
Without letting Zhang Ze finish, Wu Di rebuked him sternly.
......
After regaining a bit of his strength, how could Zhang Ze tolerate Lu Mingyu stealing his credit?
He chuckled mischievously and said, "Teacher, among the spoils of war that Lu Mingyu is carrying for me, there are some items prepared specifically for you, as well as some valuable documentary information~"
With Zhang Ze putting it this way, how could Wu Di not understand his intention?
"Lu Mingyu, send all these spoils of war to Zhang Ze's practice room..."
......
The crowd dispersed, and Zhang Ze was taken to his practice room.
Hearing about what happened, Wu Shishen couldn't help but rush over as well.
"Kid, was Blood Moon's First Garrison City really blown up by you?"
Zhang Ze feigned severe injury and remained silent.
Instead, he mentally activated his stealth skill, and his entire aura vanished right in front of Wu Shishen.
As a peak rank-nine powerhouse, Wu Shishen's perception was naturally extremely acute.
Seeing this trick for the first time, Wu Di was also utterly shocked!
Wu Shishen stepped closer and asked, "Kid, can you teach this trick to others?"
"Cough, cough~"
Our man put on a very convincing act.
He weakly said, "Director... I... I am... very severely injured!"
What more could be said?
The student had already brought it up, could Wu Shishen possibly brush it off?
Another medicinal pill landed in Zhang Ze's hand, and Wu Shishen waited eagerly for Zhang Ze's reply.
The latter, however, merely smiled faintly. "What skill?"
......
Wu Shishen left, and Wu Di couldn't possibly stand guard over Zhang Ze every day.
The practice room grew much quieter over the next few days.
Aside from Leng Bingbing and a few others who occasionally came by to check on the patient, it was peaceful.
Leng Bingbing and the others had also been brought into the Astral Realm space by their respective instructors before the war began.
Compared to Zhang Ze, however, their missions were far too relaxed.
Zhang Ze had blown up a garrison city, while these new students had merely helped with the aftermath and cleanup work.
......
He lay in bed for a full five days.
Under Leng Bingbing's meticulous care, Zhang Ze was finally back in top form and full of vitality!
In reality, Zhang Ze had been fine for a while; the pill Wu Di had fed him was truly exceptionally precious.
Li Sanqing and Lu Mingyu arrived, bringing with them all the spoils from this operation!
A grand total of 46,000 contribution points!
Equivalent to 230 million RMB!
Back in the garrison city, Zhang Ze's personal haul alone had already reached a terrifying 6,000 points. Among the remaining 40,000 points, 10,000 points were a special grand reward presented to the three of them by the garrison forces.
On one hand, they had blown up the garrison city and successfully frightened the Blood Moon City army into retreat, an achievement that could not be denied; on the other hand, the written intelligence the three brought back—especially the letter Zhang Ze had stolen—was critically important!
And this reward of 10,000 points was decided upon after consultations between the garrison forces and the Anqing Martial Arts Academy!
Lu Mingyu grinned from ear to ear!
"As for these 10,000 points, ha, 4,000 belong to me, Lu Mingyu, and then the two of you..."
"Get lost, you grandad~"
The one hurling the curse was Li Sanqing, which was a rare sight indeed!
"Why should you get 4,000 out of the 10,000 points?"
"Did you, Lu Mingyu, blow up the garrison city, or did you bring back vital intelligence?"
Lu Mingyu was left speechless!
Zhang Ze continued, "Brother Li, you don't need to scold him like that. After all, facing so many points, it's only normal that he couldn't keep a grip on himself!"
"How about this? I'll take a little loss: out of the 10,000 reward points, I'll take 9,000, and the two of you can have 500 each."
Li Sanqing stared strangely at Zhang Ze.
His look clearly asked, how on earth can you say something like that with a straight face?
......
The three of them burst into laughter, and Leng Bingbing stood nearby with a smile on her face.
In the end, out of the 10,000 reward points, Zhang Ze took 6,000 for himself, while Lu Mingyu and Li Sanqing took 2,000 each.
As for the remaining 30,000 points, the three divided them according to their agreed ratio of 4:3:3.
Altogether, Zhang Ze alone received a staggering 26,000 contribution points.
One had to know that these points were no empty promise; each point was equivalent to 5,000 RMB!
Combined with the remainder of Zhang Ze's previous balance, his points instantly reached 31,160.
Even more exhilarating for Zhang Ze was his own system.
The wealth value column had jumped straight to 165,000 points!
Following this operation, Zhang Ze had truly stepped onto an entirely different level.
After his body recovered, his cellular strength had also improved over the past few days, reaching 1599S!
Once the system's wealth value broke through 100 million RMB—meaning 100,000 points—it had gone black-screened once again...
It was about to evolve!
......
After Li Sanqing and the other left,
that very afternoon, Zhang Ze received the custom-made Grade-B alloy giant iron staff he had ordered earlier!
Seeing this weapon of Zhang Ze's, Leng Bingbing marveled for a long time. "Why did you choose this kind of weapon?"
Zhang Ze didn't explain. After all, he couldn't very well tell her that he had his eyes set on a certain instructor's prized heavy treasure, could he?
Instead, upon receiving the Grade-B giant iron staff, Zhang Ze playfully asked the staff member, "Can I upgrade this to a Grade-A alloy right now?"
"Huh?"
