Chapter 962: Test (2/2)

”That is a secret. You wouldn't tell me your trade secrets would you?”

Gran didn't reply but Sam continued.

”If you are here just worried about how I found out your secret and whether if it will affect your hiding efficiency of your identity, you don't have to worry. My secret and your secret is safe with me.

In fact, no matter what your answer is, I will be leaving this planet after I receive. I don't have time to horse around here too much and I certainly don't have time to mess with your life or secrets. So, Don't worry and come back when you have an answer.”

”My sister, really likes your offer.” Gran replied calmly.

”Oh? What about you?”

”It is not bad. It is the most straightforward offer I got. But before I make a decision, I want to test you.”

”What kind of test?”

”A race.”

”Race?”

”There is a mountain to the north of the city. It will take around four to five hours for me to travel at full speed. Many people know about it. But what many people don't know is that it is also a safezone like this city. But the mountain is so steep that no one bothered to occupy it.

Two days from now. We are going to race there?”

”That is it?”

”No that is not it. Here comes the main part. Two days from now, an event will happen on this planet. All the nine moons will come close to each other and closer to the planet and their gravity fields will cause meteor showers to happen. You can see all the moons in the morning and the meteors will strike every place except the safezones.

We are going to race in that situation.

I will suppress my cultivation level to yours, so don't think too much about it being unfair. I will make my decision after the race is over and my decision is final.”

”Okay then.”

Sam agreed and she left as swiftly and as sneakily as she came. If not for Sam's presence, nobody would have ever thought that she was there.

The next day, Sam started his inquiry about this special natural event and he got some details.

This event is not just simple as a meteor shower and natural disaster. There is a lot more going on with this and what follows this event is also one of the most dangerous times to spend on this planet.

The meteors that bring destruction on to the planet also bring a bunch of resources from the moons to this planet.

And once the shower is over on that day, the whole unsafe zones are scavenger zones for all the people and they search for these resources.

People kill each other for all the materials, spiritual energy resources that this planet brings and this week is also the busiest time for Gran.

All kinds of assignments would be given to her by these people. They don't care whether she would take it or not, but everyone would give assignments. Someone even gives assignments which are asking for her to not to take any assignments against them.

In fact, this week alone would bring a few months' worth of income for her.

In the next two days, Sam carefully prepared mentally for what is to come.

He decided to not use the dimensional drifters, transference scrolls or even harbinger since the other party is kind enough to suppress her cultivation. Any of these three things are complete cheats and there would be no point in this competition at all.

On the third day, Sam moved out of the residence and went to the North gate of the city before dawn.

There Sia and Gran are waiting. Gran still wore that cloaked attire.

Sia had that usual tender smile and Gran is looking at him coldly.

”We will start here and the first person to reach the top of the mountain wins.” Gran said as soon as she opened her mouth. He just smiled at her and turned to Sia.

”I heard you liked the offer. Thanks for considering it.”

She didn't reply and just smiled shyly.

”Anyway, I heard a big deal about this natural event. I am kind of looking forward to it.”

”Don't say it until you see it.” Gran said as she looked at the sky. Sam also looked upwards all the moons are getting closer and they became visible. The sky is looking beautiful and soon he started seeing some bright dots falling towards the earth and the whole earth quaking slightly.

He turned around to take a look at the city which is currently desolate. Everyone is holing up inside and from what he heard, even the tables at the inns are for rental today.

He is nervous and excited at the same time.

”Let's do this.” He spoke and Gran and Sam started running towards North.
