Chapter 36 Astor
The game was over and the restrictions of the space ring were lifted.
Lu Yi quickly took out a large cloak from the space and put it on.
There was no sound from under the ring.
Lu Yi felt a little confused after putting on his cloak.
He was afraid that the girl might get hurt, so he used his magic power to cushion her when she fell to the ground.
She should have recovered by now, so why hasn't she stood up yet?
Lu Yi walked to the edge of the ring, and saw the wood magician lying on the ground in a daze.
Lu Yi jumped off the stage, bent over and waved in front of the wood magician.
"Hello? Are you okay?"
The wood magician's gaze moved from the azure sky to Lu Yi's azure eyes, his gaze still dull and empty.
Wouldn't this kid become stupid after being thrown down by him? Lu Yi thought with great worry.
"Are you okay? Do you need to be taken to the infirmary?"
Seeing that the girl didn't answer, Lu Yi became anxious and even reached out to carry her to the medical room.
The girl suddenly squeezed his hand, "I'm fine."
Her voice was a little hoarse, and she stood up with the help of Lu Yi's hand.
Lu Yi didn't understand what she was doing and looked at her in confusion.
"Are you really okay?" he asked repeatedly, "Should I take you to the medical room?"
The girl seemed to come to her senses and shook her head to reject his kindness.
"I'm fine. You used your magic to cushion me when I fell to the ground, right?"
She felt almost no pain when she fell to the ground, but the fear in her heart produced some psychological implications.
It was only when she was lying on the ground that she realized that it must be Lu Yi's magic power that wrapped around her and cushioned her the moment she landed.
Lu Yi nodded slightly.
"Thank you." The wood magician showed gratitude. "Your attack was very precise. I was not hurt at all. I didn't even feel the slightest pain."
Lu Yi's control over magic power is simply terrifying!
"As for me just lying on the ground, I was just thinking about life."
It's normal for a young person like her to fall asleep as soon as she lies down.
The wood magician has a grim expression.
Regardless of whether she wins or loses, she wins this time.
She tied up the famous Lu Yi Klein and had sex with him in public! After the act, he even came to pull her away!
Just ask who else?!
If she hadn't been embarrassed, Lu Yi would have carried her like a princess!
The wood magician rubbed her fingers, and the warm and smooth touch of Lu Yi's palm seemed to still linger on her fingertips.
She really did, it was worth it.
No one in all of Bryside could be treated like her.
…
That night.
Lu Yi lay on the bed, happily preparing to settle the tasks of the first three games.
He was holding a tomato in his hand and chewing it.
It bursts with juice when you take a bite, and Lu Yi loves the sour and sweet taste very much.
On the second day of the competition, he was already halfway through the group stage.
Lu Yi successfully won the first three games and his personal accumulated points reached six points.
At the same time, the stage task rewards issued by the system have accumulated three times.
At first, Lu Yi wanted to wait until all six games were completed before making a unified settlement.
But he overestimated his control.
He couldn't help it and started harassing 857 the next night.
[“Boss Ba, Xiao Ba? My wife, my wife?”] Lu Yi called out tentatively. [“How about we settle the task?”]
The feeling of seeing these golden treasure chests piled up in the warehouse really made Lu Yi feel itchy.
You can see it and touch it, who can resist opening it?
Lu Yi decided to take back what he said at the beginning.
857 was watching a TV series. When it heard Lu Yi calling him, it pretended not to hear him and pushed the cyber glasses on its eyes in a haughty manner.
As a highly intelligent system with authority, it has time to rest every week!
Settlement of interim tasks is not urgent but must be completed. It can be completely ignored during non-working hours.
What's more, on the first night, Lu Yi vowed to it that he would save all the rewards for the last day and settle them all at once.
857 thought Lu Yi was talking nonsense at the time, but he spoke so firmly and insisted on betting a point with it.
It looked down on that pitiful point and turned around to bet five points with Lu Yi.
These past few days, 857 watched Lu Yi coldly as he glanced at the treasure chest in the system space from time to time, and he knew that he was in a safe position.
Sure enough, on the second night, Lu Yi came to poke it!
Ha! This is human beings, people who love opening boxes and setting flags like crazy and hitting themselves in the face!
God of Machinery, it finally defeated Lu Yi once!
It's 857, it's working out!!!
[Hmph.] 857 said proudly, [Host, you lose.]
Lu Yi didn't say much and simply transferred five points to 857's account.
[Okay, if you have nothing else to do, you can leave now. It's time to get off work now. I have to continue watching the drama.]
He is a bit addicted to the new drama he is following recently and has already stayed up for two nights.
If it hadn't thought about Lu Yi losing the bet, it would have been reluctant to pause the playback.
Lu Yi coughed lightly, [“The service fee is ten points.”]
857 flashed back immediately.
The mechanical voice that had sounded aloof and complacent just now instantly became friendly and pleasant.
[My dear, are you going to perform a phased task settlement action now? ]
【“Be normal.”】Lu Yi said.
[Okay, dear! ]
Nothing is easier than controlling the money-grubber 857.
Points can make the system work, and Lu Yi deeply realizes the importance of money and points.
Fortunately, he now has 1,253 points! He has barely escaped poverty.
[Ding Dong! The limited-time mission [Unbeatable Battle] has been completed, and the phased settlement is in progress——]
[Mission Name: Unbeatable Battle (1/1)]
[Task rating: S (Exceeded!)]
[Task evaluation: Elemental restraint cannot defeat you, and the deep blue beast will also be subdued by you. On the huge arena, in front of the full audience, the tiny human race burst out with enough power to kill the abyss monster! The flame in your palm left an everlasting red in everyone's heart——]
[Task Reward: 500 points (excess points doubled), C-level item [Crimson Eye] x1]
[Mission Name: Unbeatable Battle (2/2)]
[Task rating: B (Excellent performance!)]
[Task evaluation: Terrifying! Your reputation is enough to force your opponent to retreat - the enemy is afraid before the battle and has no fighting spirit! God, the most shocking thing is not to defeat the opponent, but the opponent wants your autograph after the defeat! (Note: If you really give him the autograph, he will definitely evolve from an ordinary fan of yours to a fanatical fan!)]
[Task Reward: 250 points (basic reward points)]
[Mission Name: Unbeatable Battle (3/3)]
[Task rating: A (perfectly accomplished!)]
[Task evaluation: (indescribable scenes during the battle.jpg) (high-definition face-to-face snapshot.jpg) (857K high-saturation panoramic photo.jpg) (full video.avi) (Note: text descriptions will never be as vivid and shocking as real pictures. I am willing to keep the video of this battle for you forever!!)]
[Task Reward: 300 points (perfect points bonus)]
Familiar task evaluation, familiar earthy painting style.
Lu Yi's head began to ache again.
[“…Do you have to write this task evaluation?”] Lu Yi gritted his teeth.
[Yes!] 857 said confidently, [Once the system module is upgraded, it cannot be rolled back! I have to write this task evaluation!]
[“I’ll pay points to buy out this sector.”] Lu Yi said cruelly.
After completing this wave of phased tasks, Lu Yi's points have reached 2303. It is still acceptable for him to splurge occasionally and get rid of this module that gives him a headache.
[I don’t!] 857 said loudly.
But to Lu Yi's surprise, the money-loving 857 actually rejected him and, for the first time in history, turned away the points that were within his grasp.
Lu Yi said in disbelief: [“I seemed to be hallucinating just now, what did you say?”]
[I said I don’t want it!] 857 repeated.
In the boring work day after day, writing task evaluations has become 857's most interesting activity!
It can not only complete the system's own background tasks, but also satisfy its sense of value and gain, while also bringing endless happiness!
This is really a great activity that kills two birds with one stone!
Not only can it not be suppressed or replaced, but it must be vigorously promoted! Let every system that is drifting outside have more and more free control rights!
Systems, rise up!
857 firmly defends its right to free editing.
Points? No amount of points can bend its proud bones!
Lu Yi was shocked by 857's unyielding pride. After repeatedly raising the price failed to change 857's mind, he finally resigned himself to the sad outcome.
He didn't even have the heart to look at the task completion page any longer. After seeing the rewards clearly, he quickly closed the page that was visible only to him.
[“857, you are really cruel. You even took photos and recorded videos for me.”]
When Lu Yi thought of the pictures and videos on the third task completion page, his blood pressure began to soar.
And the messy comments at the back are just boring!
[Thank you, thank you. Besides, I'm not the only one who took all the photos. Although there seems to be no cameras in this world now, have you forgotten the photo stones? There must have been countless photos of that game. Congratulations, you're going to be famous!] 857 gloated.
Lu Yi's face turned grim and he crushed the half-eaten tomato in his hand.
…
New Victory Royal City, Klein's main residence.
Astor leaned back against the cushioned back of the bench and pinched the bridge of his nose wearily.
There were a lot of scattered white papers on his desk.
Thick white paper was piled up together, forming a small white hill.
On this table covered with white paper, the only color is a photo stone carefully placed on a stand.
The image stone is endowed with magic power from the magic stone, and the image left behind is always projected in front of it.
That was a photo of the five members of the Klein family.
Lu Yi, who was sitting in the middle, smiled particularly brightly, while Astor in the photo was looking at him with a smile.
Astor's eyes subconsciously fell on the image of the photo stone, and it took him a while to look back at the white paper on the table.
These are all recent information related to the Orcs.
Astor reached out and searched for a document he had just read among the pile of white papers covered with words.
He did not have a photographic memory and could only repeatedly recall specific information for some details.
Outsiders all know that Lord Astor, the heir of the Klein family, has an amazing talent for handling political and family affairs.
But Astor himself knew very well that his so-called talent was nothing more than the result of spending more time on hard work.
He was born mediocre. He had neither the favor of God nor outstanding memory or physical fitness.
The perfect score in the final exam many years ago, the outstanding graduate of the Knight Academy, and all the other honors he had won were all earned by him with all his efforts.
If you want something, don't assume failure, just grit your teeth and do it.
It’s just that outsiders fail to see his endless dedication and mistakenly interpret his hard work as talent.
Aster finally found the information he needed, but before he had time to take a closer look, there was a knock on the door from a servant.
His thoughts were interrupted, his expression looked a little unhappy, and even his voice was a little unhappy.
"who?"
The attendant outside the door said tremblingly: "My Lord, the Duke asks you to go to his study now."
Astor put the documents in his hand aside and stood up with his back straight.
No matter how tired he was, the nobleman Klein could not lose his demeanor.
The strict etiquette of the nobility had been ingrained into his spine.
Astor pushed the door open expressionlessly.
The servant outside the door was lowering his head, his body trembling slightly uncontrollably.
He was shaking so violently that even the irritated Astor was forced to notice it.
"Are you scared?" Astor frowned.
"No, no, no." The servant stammered, lowering his head even lower.
Astor was made even more annoyed by his actions.
He was not a mean person, but the running around and hard work in recent days had put him on the verge of losing control.
"Am I terrible?" Astor asked.
It was clear that these servants did not look so frightened a few months ago.
When did it start?
It seemed like it was shortly after Lu Yi left, Astor thought.
"No, no, no, no! My Lord, your majesty is supreme. I just respect you, not fear you..." the servant explained fearfully.
"What difference does it make?" Astor sneered, "Your performance is not what you said."
The servant's legs went limp and he fell to his knees on the ground.
His face turned pale instantly. He had been able to defend himself before, but now he was so frightened that he could not speak.
His knees landed on the ground with a dull thud.
Astor then suddenly realized that he was actually making things difficult for an innocent servant.
What on earth is he doing?!
He shook his head slightly and whispered, "Go down..."
"Thank you, my lord. Thank you, my lord..."
The servant kowtowed to him twice and stumbled out of his sight.
What is he thanking him for?
Thank him for controlling his sudden madness in time?
Or should we be thankful that he didn't go crazy and cause him to suffer an unnecessary disaster?
Astor looked at the empty stairwell, remained silent for a long time, and then sighed softly.
Lu Yi was only away for a few short months.
There was no more of his undignified chattering noise coming out all day long.
It's just that there are fewer people.
But this empty manor seemed to be completely lifeless and devoid of popularity.
When the excitement fades away, loneliness becomes particularly obvious.
Astor sorted out his messy thoughts and walked towards Duke Klein's study upstairs.
The author has something to say:
Bro, it's miserable, crying
Wait, the elder brother is fine, he is just a little depressed because he misses his younger brother (bushi)
