Chapter 457 Lucky Draw
Within the seal.
The evolved Bloodmist Spirit was shuddering in fear as it faced Su Ping. It didn’t even have the slightest courage to move about.
The result came as a surprise to Su Ping as well. He merely intended for the Bloodmist Spirit to pick up an inferior skill of the thunder family. He didn’t know that the beast would be so inspired that it would also evolve.
Was the Bloodmist Spirit so weak psychologically? I’ve used those rules of thunder to train the dog and Inferno Dragon. How come they never evolved?
Su Ping turned around and asked the Vice Chairman who was still in a daze, “Did I pass the test?”
Did you pass the test… The Vice Chairman came back to his senses, but was at a loss for a moment and couldn’t come up with an answer. Of course, you passed the test. You used a top-level skill on a seventh-rank beast. It was like squashing a fly with a wheel.
“Mr. Su…”
The Vice Chairman opened the seal and walked in. “I wonder who your teacher is,” he asked, full of mixed feelings.
Su Ping raised his eyebrows. This again?
“You wouldn’t know even if I told you. Just think of me as self-taught.”
That is to say, he does have a teacher, The Vice Chairman thought to himself.
The Vice Chairman nodded. That was a reasonable explanation… not!
What would the teacher be like, to make a student a titled battle pet warrior like Lone Star and a top trainer, all at once?
The Vice Chairman couldn’t figure it out. None of the legendary battle pet warriors he knew had such abilities.
He had never heard of Su Ping’s name before; he was a young man with a mysterious background who had sprouted out of nowhere.
The Vice Chairman was glad he didn’t accuse Su Ping of what happened earlier.
Sure, what Su Ping did was an insult to the headquarters of the Trainers Association. Still, he would rather give up on that pitiful dignity than make that monster their enemy.
“Mr. Su, do you want to carry on with the tests? If I’m right, you do have the abilities of a top trainer. I wonder, how long did it take for you to train the Moonfrost Dragon?” the Vice Chairman asked out of curiosity.
Top?
That was unexpected.
Just like that?
He was identified as a top trainer?
“That thing… I think I spent half a month working on it.” Su Ping gave a vague answer.
Half a month?
The Vice Chairman could hardly believe it.
Half a month and he gave a complete makeover to the Moonfrost Dragon?!
The Vice Chairman stared at Su Ping, wondering if the latter was telling a joke or not. However, it seemed that Su Ping didn’t realize how shocking his answer was.
Half a month… The Vice Chairman believed he had to look at Su Ping in a new way.
Su Ping was outstanding even among all the top trainers. At least, the Vice Chairman knew that he couldn’t have trained a dragon at the seventh-rank to raise it all the way to the ninth-rank in half a month!
It would take him at least three months!
That was not counting in the time he had to get the materials and be ready.
The Vice Chairman darted another look at Su Ping. He wasn’t sure if Su Ping had given him an accurate answer. Either way, Su Ping’s calculation sounded not too far-off the mark. Besides, it was unlikely that the Bloodmist Spirit’s evolution was an accident. That was to say, it was almost certain that Su Ping was a top trainer.
“Mr. Su, do you want to join the headquarters of the Trainers Association? You can be our honorary counselor,” the Vice Chairman proposed.
Is this an invitation? Su Ping wondered.
He had just created a disturbance and the Vice Chairman was inviting him to come onboard.
He wondered if there was something wrong with the old man’s head.
Master Bai, Shi Haochi, and everyone else was stunned. None of them could believe that the Vice Chairman was making that proposal!
They had the Chairman, the Vice Chairman, and then the counselors at the headquarters!
Anyone with a counselor rank had to be a top trainer!
There were merely a dozen counselors at the headquarters!
Every counselor enjoyed a distinguished status. In particular, they were entitled to many privileges that would make people envious, right in the Holy Light Base City.
To become a counselor was everyone’s dream! Ding Fengchun looked more awful than ever. His legs were shaking uncontrollably.
If Su Ping were to become an honorary counselor, then forcing him to kneel would be a minor punishment. In the future, if Su Ping were determined to punish him, then his lofty living in the city would go down the drain. He would be more miserable than the guards at the door, unless he could achieve a breakthrough quickly and become a top trainer himself. “So, what are the benefits of becoming an
Chairman.
The Vice Chairman didn’t expect that question.
This was the first time ever, since he became the Vice Chairman, for him to hear this question. Benefits? The position itself was something everyone longed for. Usually, when people were given such a chance, they would eagerly express appreciation. No one would ask about benefits.
The Vice Chairman found himself an explanation. Su Ping was from another base city and he appeared to know little about their organizational structure. “You would be entitled to many benefits, of course. You can mobilize many resources to facilitate your study in training. “You would enjoy every right in the Holy Light Base City. To put it simply, you get to do whatever you want to do!
“Also, if you become a counselor, many major families will extend invitations and make you their most honorable guest.
“As a counselor, you will get the chance to work for the legendary battle pet warriors from the Tower and build up a relationship with them. You should know how difficult it is to get to know them.”
The Vice Chairman finished in one breath and looked at Su Ping smilingly.
Su Ping waited quietly but no more words came out. “That is it?”
“Ah?”
“Huh?”
The two of them gazed at each other in speechless dismay.
The Vice Chairman was baffled.
Did I not say enough or did I use a language you didn’t understand?
What more do you want?!
Su Ping was disappointed. None of the so-called benefits could stir up his interest.
He didn’t need resources to fund his studies nor invitations from any families. As for getting to know legendary battle pet warriors…
Those people should be the kill targets!
“Fine.” Su Ping heaved a sigh. Those benefits sure sounded enticing for anyone, just not for him. He couldn’t ask for more. It was just that this wasn’t the place for him…
The Vice Chairman didn’t know what to say. Fine? What does that mean?
Counselor! This is the counselor position we’re talking about! Could you be any less interested?!
The onlookers had a hard time processing it. The master trainers curled their lips. If it weren’t for the fact that they were weaker than the punk, they would have gone there to beat him up.
A counselor position is something that we would beg for in our sleep!
But this punk is fishing for better benefits!
He’s unwilling!
What? Did he do it on purpose to piss everyone off?
“Mr. Su, what do you think?” the Vice Chairman asked with a bitter smile.
“I’m ok with it if you don’t need me to do anything,” Su Ping said after some thought.
So, you want it for free?
“An honorary counselor doesn’t have to do much indeed, but you would have to host a seminar now and then. You would also need to help out if the Association has some large scale job and is short-staffed.” The Vice Chairman carefully phrased his answer.
Job?
Su Ping was surprised. People could give the headquarters of the Trainers Association an assignment?
Soon, he remembered the Tower.
It seemed that as glamorous as the headquarters of the Trainers Association appeared, they had their share of pressure as well. All the prominent organizations had to shoulder something much more difficult than people expected.
“Well, I am sorry but I cannot do it,” Su Ping answered.
He had to run his store and was unwilling to be dragged down by those matters. Running the store was his legitimate job. Everything else was just a hobby.
The Vice Chairman didn’t expect that Su Ping would turn him down. He was at a loss for words momentarily.
Master Bai, Shi Haochi, and the others were also eyeing Su Ping in a daze. “Since you said that I have the abilities of a top trainer, then give me a medal. That way, I will have easier access here,” Su Ping said.
He would have saved himself all the trouble if he would have had a top trainer medal back then.
You rarely meet someone nice when you’re a humble and vulnerable man. Everyone around you treats you horribly.
But you don’t find evil people around you when you enjoy a high status. Everyone is nice to you.
You don’t hear any bad words nor witness a single sneer. The Vice Chairman wanted to say something else to Su Ping but he didn’t know what.
This was the first time he had to convince someone to accept the counselor position.
People would usually have to apply and beg for it.
Things were completely different with Su Ping.
The Vice Chairman was someone who had never begged others before; he was clueless since this was completely new to him.
“Okay. Mr. Su, please think about it some more. We will discuss it later,” the Vice Chairman said. He was smart enough to put this decision off and come back to the subject later.
He would clean up his thoughts and find other ways to get Su Ping on board. Su Ping nodded. “Do we need to continue the tests?”
“It’s unnecessary.”
“If you say so.” Su Ping nodded.
He had started with the first-rank test because he wanted to find out what was required of each rank. Later on, he had collected enough information by inferring from the Vice Chairman’s introductions; he didn’t need to do each and every one. That would be a huge waste of time.
The system jumped out all of a sudden
“Ding!”
“Trainer’s reputation score: 100/100!
“Mission accomplished.
“Lucky draw begins. Please finish it as soon as possible.
“Countdown 59:5…” Su Ping was startled by the sudden interjection. He quickly browsed through the list of missions and realized he had accomplished that one.
So soon?
Su Ping was confused. He wondered how the system did the calculation.
He got five points when he was walking around with Shi Haochi. So, that worked.
Did I get the score from all the fighting and the tests? Su Ping asked himself. He looked around. Apart from the Vice Chairman and Master Bai, there were many other master trainers present.
The system didn’t jump out when he was fighting. So, that alone was not enough.
He believed it had mostly been thanks to the tests. The master trainers had recognized him.
Well, the mission was not so difficult after all, Su Ping thought.
For anyone else, to become a top trainer would be an almost impossible feat. Luckily… he had finished the system’s elementary trainer mission…
Su Ping curled his lips. The system’s elementary trainer tier was regarded as a top trainer in that world.
The system had such mind boggling standards! “Do you have a bathroom here?” Su Ping asked the Vice Chairman.
“What?”
The Vice Chairman didn’t see that coming. “Sure we do. Follow me.”
He showed Su Ping the way.
No one else had expected such a request at the moment; Su Ping had actually asked directions for the restroom. He didn’t seem to be in a hurry. What a whimsical person.
There was one close by. The Vice Chairman stopped by the door. “Wanna go together?” Su Ping asked. “Huh? No, thanks.”
“As you wish.”
Su Ping nodded. He went inside to draw his prize.
