Chapter 641: Chapter 641: The Priestess’s Charms (17)
Chuzheng’s first act upon entering the city was to take over an inn.
Guests? Fights breaking out?
Impossible!
Chuzheng generously offered to let them stay.
Shopkeeper: “???”
The dumb son of a rich landowner with too much money?
Fu Yu had the sa impression.
After escorting them there, Ah Da was about to return when Chuzheng handed him a bag of gold coins.
The rcenary Guild had already paid his dues, so Chuzheng didn’t need to make any additional paynt.
But Chuzheng insisted on giving more, and would turn fierce if refused, scaring Ah Da into not daring to decline the offer.
“Chuzheng, Chuzheng, I’ve found out,” Fu Yu said as he ca back from outside the inn, pouring himself a glass of water and gulping it down.
“The Temple’s selection day for new believers is in ten days. If I can get into the Temple, my dad would probably die of shock.”
Chuzheng glanced at him solemnly.
How unfilial!
Since arriving in the city, Chuzheng had done nothing but shop.
Fu Yu sat across from her, puzzled, “Are you going when the ti cos?”
“Going.”
If I don’t go, how can I catch that ‘Good Person Card’?
It’s said that if it’s not necessary, the priests seldom leave the Temple.
“Really?” Fu Yu’s eyes lit up with joy, “Then we’ll go together when the ti cos!”
Fu Yu was already dreaming of his grand future once he entered the Temple.
“You’re so sure you can get in?”
Fu Yu’s eyes sparkled, his fists clenched, “One must have dreams as a human being.”
Chuzheng blurted out coldly, “Are all your dreams just wishful thinking?”
Fu Yu: “…”
–
[Main Quest: Spend ten thousand gold coins within two hours.]
Chuzheng: “…”
Virtually as soon as Chuzheng stepped out of the inn, her mission from the King’s Account arrived right on schedule.
That bastard truly has impeccable timing in sending missions!!
The Temple’s public recruitnt of new believers had attracted a lot of people, and Penghua City was almost bursting at the seams.
The Temple, a place almost every magician yearned for.
Seeing the sea of people in line, Chuzheng found it terrifying.
If it cos to it, I’ll just sneak into the Temple in the dead of night and kidnap that ‘Good Person Card.’
Why should I suffer here!
The queue could extend from the registration area all the way to the city gates.
Chuzheng, the Spendthrift, distributed gold coins all along her way to jump the queue, causing Fu Yu to grip his own pocket tightly.
He suddenly felt so poor.
If it wasn’t for the fact that the path ahead was completely blocked, Chuzheng would have preferred to jump to the front of the line.
But thinking it over, she figured the quality of the people here probably wasn’t that good, so she started from the back and worked forward.
All for the sake of ruining the family.
“Why are you cutting in line?” soone suddenly said, their condemnation intense.
Chuzheng’s actions had already caused so unrest among the crowd.
Yet no one dared to speak up.
Now that soone had, voices of support imdiately followed.
“Exactly, such bad manners, why should you skip the queue?”
“We all want to register early.”
“She’s even a young lady, so devoid of sha.”
The crowd around her began to gossip and point fingers, as if their sense of righteousness had suddenly skyrocketed.
Chuzheng “The Shaless Spendthrift”: “I’ve got money.”
“So you think having money ans you can cut in line?”
Chuzheng stared at him, “I’m using money to get others to give up their spot for , what does that have to do with you?”
The man retorted angrily, “You jumped ahead of in line, how is that none of my business?”
Chuzheng with a cold face, “Didn’t he just move behind you? Has your position changed?”
The man looked at the person behind him holding the gold coins and then back at Chuzheng, seeming at a loss for a rebuttal.
Fu Yu ca out with a grin, trying to smooth things over.
The person probably couldn’t find the right words and ended up just cursing a couple of tis.
Chuzheng continued to spend money to move forward in the queue.
Seeing her do this, the rich and mighty imdiately started to follow suit.
The queue instantly turned into a trading floor.
Most people probably knew deep down that they were just trying their luck, and if they were chosen, it would be like their ancestors were shining on them.
If they weren’t chosen, it was to be expected.
So, while queuing, since there was gold to be made, most would agree to the deal.
Of course, there were so who didn’t agree.
At such tis, the simplest thod was to just skip past them.
Chuzheng spread the wealth as she went along and quickly made her way to the very front.
The copycats, who didn’t have as many unrestrained gold coins as Chuzheng, nearly ran out of money halfway through and couldn’t continue to move forward.
Who carries that many gold coins on them anyway?
Gold coins are heavy!
–
There were six doors up front, and you just had to enter the door according to your elent.
Fu Yu was a bit stunned.
This…
There were only six doors, with no Dark Elent. What was Chuzheng supposed to do?
How could he have forgotten about this?
“Hurry up and go in, don’t dawdle,” Fu Yu stopped, and the people behind him started complaining impatiently.
Chuzheng signaled for him to go ahead, and since Fu Yu couldn’t delay any longer, he had no choice but to enter through the red door.
Chuzheng followed him in.
Fu Yu: “!!”
After entering, there was a passage filled with Fire Elent, and since there were people in front, Fu Yu dared not speak.
Chuzheng felt a noticeable discomfort in her body upon entering.
On the contrary, Fu Yu was like a fish in water, seeming more spirited by several degrees.
Presumably, any Magician or human not of this elent would be filtered out.
The passage wasn’t long and was soon traversed.
Those who ca out were obviously less in number than those who had gone in.
God knows where those who took the sa passage had been taken to.
Outside, people were waiting for their turn to place their hands on the magic sphere.
Fu Yu’s talent with the Fire Elent was exceptional, causing the tester to take a few extra looks at him and hand him a token: “You can enter from either side and go directly to the second stage.”
“Uh…” Fu Yu looked at Chuzheng.
When it was Chuzheng’s turn, she placed her hand on it, and Fu Yu watched with wide eyes as the magic sphere lit up.
Fu Yu was dumbfounded.
Wasn’t she a Dark Series Magician?
Why was her Fire Elent talent detected?
After Chuzheng received the token for the first stage, she calmly retracted the Yin Xian.
Faint red light flickered on the Yin Xian.
There were three stages in total.
After these three stages, the vast crowd would be whittled down to fewer than five hundred people.
It was said that The Temple was only recruiting ten people this ti.
Out of five hundred people, only ten could enter The Temple.
One can imagine how fierce the competition was.
Chuzheng didn’t expect to see a familiar face as soon as she stepped outside.
Upon seeing Chuzheng, Liang Shuxue’s beautiful eyes began to blaze with anger, and her expression turned gloomy. If it weren’t for the presence of The Temple’s people maintaining order, she probably would have charged over.
Chuzheng calmly glanced at her and quickly diverted her gaze.
Fu Yu swapped places with soone and stood behind her, whispering, “Chuzheng, I encountered her during the second stage. She’s the Eldest Princess of the royal family, Liang Shuxue.”
Chuzheng’s face was indifferent, “Oh.”
Those moths are too useless.
They actually let this bastard co back unscathed.
“We have offended her before…” Fu Yu, being aware of the woman’s status, suddenly felt a bit intimidated, “Would she make things difficult for us?”
Chuzheng’s tone was one of arrogance, “I’m not afraid of her.” I could take on ten of her!
“…”
