Li Hua's aning was very clear; there was no chance of resolving this matter peacefully.
Either Xu Fan hands over the combat skill, or Xu Fan goes out with the three of them for a walk; once outside the base, they can determine superiority.
At the sa ti, to prevent Xu Fan from refusing, Li Hua made it clear that there was only a month left until the tournant. Eventually, everyone had to leave the base. If Xu Fan offended the three of them and did not settle the matter today, he would face their endless pursuit in the future!
The trio considered that Xu Fan might hand over the combat skill, or he might hesitate or give in, but they didn't expect Xu Fan to rely utter two words lightly.
"Prize."
Xu Fan was never worried about whether he could defeat Li Hua and the others, but rather about how to minimize the impact after defeating them and how to gain the most benefit from them.
Therefore, when Li Hua suggested Xu Fan go out to complete a mission and engage in combat, Xu Fan almost imdiately agreed without hesitation.
Outside the base, no matter how astonishing Xu Fan's performance was, it wouldn't be seen by others, so the impact of the battle would be minimized.
Moreover, Xu Fan had a sudden idea to use the incident with Li Hua to test the influence of Mu Lao and the other four in the base.
The high-level officials in the base were too mysterious. Xu Fan had only seen the chief instructor of the Grey Wolf Team face-to-face since coming to the base.
What was the status of Mu Lao's group of four in the base? Were they independent entities, or did they have a large network of relationships? How much power could they mobilize within the base?
Xu Fan was destined to break through to the Vajra Realm and have a showdown with Mu Lao's group of four. Naturally, he hoped to test Mu Lao through this matter.
However, Xu Fan didn't appear too eager. Instead, he followed Li Hua's lead and focused on the prize, making the whole incident appear less suspicious.
"Prize?"
Li Hua and the other two were stunned, then their mouths curved into mocking smiles, "As long as you're willing to complete this mission with us, we'll satisfy whatever you want!"
Only then did Li Hua rember that Xu Fan, standing before him, seed to have always valued points highly. Previously, during a challenge at the Grey Wolf Team's class, Xu Fan insisted on having a prize even when facing certain death.
The current situation was eerily similar to the event at the Grey Wolf Team's class that day.
Realizing this, the smile on Li Hua's lips deepened, "Moreover, once we complete this mission, we can earn three thousand points, and those points will all go to you."
Xu Fan pretended to be surprised, "Are you serious?"
Li Hua and the others, seeing Xu Fan's deanor, felt even more disdainful towards him. Nonetheless, they patiently explained, "The task is actually very simple; you just need to follow us and do nothing, as if going on a trip. You can get three thousand points, plus your prize."
In reality, Xu Fan no longer needed points. After all, Mu Lao and his group controlled the Elixir Pharmacy, Book Depository, and Divine Arms Pavilion. Given Xu Fan's current relationship with them, was there anything he needed to spend points on within the base? He could even avoid paying rent.
However, Xu Fan rembered a little girl nad Song Ling'er at the Elixir Pharmacy. During a ti when Xu Fan was being slandered, she stood up decisively, even declaring that anyone who wanted to harm Xu Fan would have to step over her dead body. Xu Fan was deeply moved by her actions.
Song Ling'er was a First Grade Alchemist, without connections or a source of points. Purchasing materials and practicing alchemy to beco a Second Grade Alchemist would be extrely difficult.
Thus, seeing Li Hua and his group's display of wealth, Xu Fan decided to ask for more points for Song Ling'er boldly.
"The prize is simple. I'll go out of the base with you, but you have to pay seven thousand points, and with the three thousand points, make it a round number."
Xu Fan's words made Li Hua and the others slightly stunned.
It seed Xu Fan still didn't plan to hand over the Mysterious Rank Battle Technique! The aning in Li Hua's words was apparent; after leaving with them, if Xu Fan handed over the combat skill, they would reward him with benefits and points.
But from Xu Fan's response, it seed he not only refused to hand over the combat skill but also intended to extort them heavily.
However, didn't Xu Fan understand that even if he earned points by going out of the base with them, would he live to use them?
"Seven thousand points? Why don't you just rob us?"
At this mont, Li Hua angrily glared at Xu Fan, his face visibly enraged. Seven thousand points were impossible for even Li Hua to afford.
In this base, every point was extrely precious, and there were too many expenses. Despite diligently completing tasks for three months, Li Hua only held two to three thousand points.
"If you can't even produce a prize, why bother talking here?"
"Either give seven thousand points directly or get out of my sight!"
Xu Fan maintained a cold and indifferent expression. He wanted more than just points; he wanted the trio to pay a heavy price.
As Li Hua's anger grew, Long Qing interrupted him, "Seven thousand points, we can give them to you, but when can you conveniently join us to complete the mission?"
Xu Fan glanced at Long Qing lightly, "Once I have the points, anyti."
Long Qing nodded but didn't imdiately hand over the points to Xu Fan. Instead, he turned to look at Li Hua.
Even Long Qing couldn't afford seven thousand points, though he was slightly wealthier, with about five thousand at hand.
The relationship among the three was quite close, with mutual understanding. Feng Wu had just spent all her points, leaving Long Qing to look at Li Hua.
Li Hua didn't want to hand over his points after eting Long Qing's gaze.
The three thousand points were hard-earned over three tough months by Li Hua. However, given how things had developed, it was the critical mont that would decide success or failure, leaving Li Hua with no choice.
Trembling with shaky hands, Li Hua's facial muscles twitched slightly as he transferred his points to Long Qing, who also shakily handed their points cards to Xu Fan.
