Chapter 424 - Herb Collecting (1/2)

At night after the first competition ended, Uncle Wang invited everyone to a banquet. It was to appreciate their hard work for gaining 25% of the gold mine's profit for the village.

Auron's teammate was delightful with this banquet. After all, they didn't even do anything to get this banquet.

”Thank you for your hard work that we get a portion of the profit! Here are some bonuses for your effort! I hope you will continue your best at the group fight!” Uncle Wang thanked everyone as he gave a red pouch for each of everyone here.

The eyes of Auron's teammate became brighter in front of the red pouch. They didn't need to do anything, and they already got a bonus. Each of them quickly snatched the red pouch since they were afraid Uncle Wang would take back his words.

Auron was the only one who calmly accepted the red pouch. He took the pouch and looked inside. There were 100 golds inside. It was not a small amount, nor was it a lot. However, Auron gladly accepted it.

Auron did all of this for his proficiency, and money was the second thing that was in his mind. Of course, he was grateful for this money. Auron continued to eat then head back first to his room.

Auron knew that Uncle Wang did this for the Fourth Prince. Although Auron had met the Fourth Prince on many occasions, he still wary of him and didn't trust him completely.

After all, Auron didn't know what was the motive for the Fourth Prince approached him. Was it just for his secret, or there was another hidden agenda? Although the royal family seemed peace on the outside, he didn't know whether there was internal conflict among the princes and princesses. Auron still didn't want to be drag into the royal family's mess right now.

With that, the first day of the match had ended. The next day, it was the time for the next tournament.

On the second day, the tournament's theme was the herb collecting. The second-day venue was the gold mine. Everyone gathered at the gold mine.

As it named implies, the match was about gathering herbs that scattered around the area. The tournament time limit was 12 hours. Each village would send two members as a participant. Then, with the gold mine as its starting point, the participant could roam as far as they wanted to search for the herb.

Although they could roam as far as they wanted, throughout the history of the tournament, not many people would walk too far away from the gold mine. It was because of several reasons.

First, they could use their movement skill, but they could not use any means of transportation or cities and towns teleportation portal. Second, after they got the herb, they still needed to submit it back to the referee to be judged. And, the referee's location was only near the gold mine. Which means, they needed to go all the way back to the gold mine to get the point.
