Chapter Two Hundred and Nineteen – Rewards Conference (2/2)

Before everyone had digested the disappointment from the fifth-grade movement method being picked away, Lil’ Miss opened again, “Lei Peng, Zong Ru, Nian Lu, your group is up. You can pick one fourth-grade,two third-grade.”

Lei Peng’s head rang, and then blanked.

It was his turn … …

He didn’t know how he stood up. Nian Lu and Zong Ru’s faces were also full of disbelief. It was like a dream. Even Zong Ru, the most composed of the three, didn’t managed to keep his composure.

The three people looked at each other. After a while, they found it hard to decide who would get the fourth-grade talisman.

Seeing the situation, Gongsun Cha decided to decide for them. “Straws, set down the order, and take turns in the future.”

This method was very fair. No one had an objection.

The sweat on Lei Peng’s forehead grew even more dense, his heartbeat racing because he drew first. The second was Zong Ru, the third was Nian Lu.

He really was shameful, couldn’t even calm down! He criticized himself.

But he was not slow in picking. He did not hesitate in picking the Nine Dawn ling armor. Sighs rose in the surroundings. Clearly, there were several that wanted this ling armor. For some reason, when he heard the sighs, Lei Peng felt every pore of him was in pleasure, and extremely smug. He instantly put on the ling armor.

Zong Ru picked upper third-grade vambraces, and Nian Lu picked an upper third-grade boots. Even though they didn’t pick something fourth-grade, these two were also very good among the third-grade, the two people were unable to keep their hands off.

Gongsun Cha measured achievement based on combat unit. Each combat unit could pick one fourth-grade item, and two third-grade. The fourth-grade items were quickly divided. Those ranked behind didn’t even get one, and could only stare.

But everyone basically got one talisman.

As to the xiuzhe like Bao De who had just turned from captive, they could only stare. Gongsun Cha didn’t plan on rewarding them. The remaining talismans were put to be used as rewards for the groups that were exceptional in training.

Gongsun Cha also clearly stated that once the reward was given, it was the person’s personal property. Other people could not take it. Like the fifth-grade movement method. Ma Fan picked it, so it could not be given to someone else. If anyone else wanted to learn, they had to ask Ma Fan. As to how to pass it on, or whether to pass it on, that was Ma Fan’s business.

No matter if it was Zuo Mo, or Gongsun Cha, they would never have predicted the effect this rewards conference would have.

———

Gongsun Cha still supervised the people in training. The last battle had revealed many insufficiencies. The three section wave killing charge, if it was a well-trained troop, if it was his mysterious opponent, they would only need to use it once to destroy the enemy.

He hadn’t just been unable to destroy the enemy, but had sunk into prolonged fighting. This made Gongsun Cha who usually demanded highly of himself very dissatisfied.

Lil’ Miss was dissatisfied so everyone didn’t have good days.

However, what Gongsun Cha was puzzled by was just how unexpected these people were in training. Everyone seemed to have been shot up with chicken blood, howling as they furiously trained.

And when Gongsun Cha fulfilled his promise by rewarding the talismans to the group that had finished training, he found to his shock that they completely did not need his supervision.

There was not a novice among this group of people. They all knew the importance of talismans. Who would dislike having one more talisman? On the battlefield, one more talisman was one more guarantee on their own life. There was no danger of dying in training. This kind of good matter, if it was in the past, everyone would distain to attend, but in the cruel Little Mountain Jie of the present, no one had heard of it.

No one fell behind.

Not having gotten any ling grains, and having some more mouths to feed, the pressure of Zuo Mo to supply ling grains instantly increased, especially in the recent days where this group had suddenly started to furiously train for some reason. The consumption of ling grains multiplied.

Zuo Mo felt the pressure multiply. He put one hundred and twenty percent of his effort into studying the mo matrix day and night.

Once he had an idea, he would immediately try it out, not caring for the consumption of materials. Seeing the amount of ling grains decrease, he felt even more pressured. His progress was not bad. He had eliminated half of the useless constructs. Less than one third of the constructs were remaining.

But this one third included more than seventy formation-like constructs.

Zuo Mo did not have the time to do theoretical analyses. The time was tight. He decided to use the stupidest and most effective method.

Try one by one!

He started to crazily try one formation after another.

In the span of a few days, his room was full of failed products like a little mountain.

Not having closed his eyes for seven days and nights, he didn’t even meditate. When his ling power was used up, he would grasp a jingshi to absorb ling power.

He looked quite fragile. After seven days and nights, even if his spiritual power had reached the stage of manifestation, he had reached a limit.

However, Zuo Mo forgot all the labor, all the exhaustion.

He dazedly looked at a peerlessly ugly thing on his hands!

Translator Ramblings: Mad scientist Zuo Mo is back! Gongsun Cha really wants to motivate his soldiers to train hard and Ma Fan is the teacher’s pet.

Do you guys ever go back to read previous chapters of this story? I’m still going to revise the beginning chapters anyways but I’m very curious if any of you ever re-read.
