The steward wiped the sweat from his brow, watching Ye Xiruo flip through the bounty posters with a numb expression. Who said the young master came from a village? A weakling, with an offensive appearance, and an idiot who doesn't even know basic common sense.
Who the hell spread these rumors here? Come out! I promise I won't kill him. In all his decades at the Bounty Tower, he's never seen anyone so monstrous. Even the Palace Master and the Young Palace Master aren't this ruthless! He's practically leaving no chance for survival.
"Register all of these for me." After spending half an hour, Ye Xiruo selected some more bounties with decent rewards.
"If you don't have anything else to do, don't go downstairs, so I don't have to come and call you later."
Good heavens! They're still going! Is this what they call finding the rhythm and not being able to stop?
"Yes, Young Master."
Ye Xiruo sat on the second floor of the Bounty Tower, completing tasks one by one.
The people in the Danwang Palace went from shock to anger to numbness; this was definitely not human.
Gu Yu is an ordinary disciple of the Pill King Hall, a fifth-grade alchemist. He came to the Bounty Tower hoping to take on some missions to fill his pockets. Sigh, he ruined three batches of alchemy yesterday, turning a hundred mid-grade spirit stones into ashes. If he doesn't take on some missions soon, he'll be eating dirt.
When they went inside, they saw the bounty poster hanging at the top. This seemed normal. Why were so many people waiting here? Were they waiting for some easy mission to earn spirit stones? Why was even the person in charge gone? Could it really be some extraordinary mission?
Half an hour passed, and the number of people at the bounty post didn't decrease; in fact, it increased. These people were just standing there, not accepting any missions. Were they just there to watch the spectacle?
"Junior brother, what happened?"
"Greetings, Senior Sister. You may not know this, but we are here to witness a miracle."
A flock of crows flew over Gu Yu's head, and a group of thugs galloped past below: "Miracle, tell me what happened?"
"Senior sister, look closely at the number and changes of the bounty posters. There's an average of one mission every ten minutes, ranging from level C to level A. Accept them all."
Gu Yu observed for a while, and sure enough, that was the case.
"What's so strange about that? There are so many people here. Why don't we all do the quests together?"
"The bounty tower has been closed since noon. We stayed behind to watch the excitement."
"Don't tell me that our god-like Palace Master has graced us with his presence and is inspecting some room, and you're all waiting here just to catch a glimpse of his magnificent beauty."
"It's the young master; he's booked the whole place by himself. The manager is serving him upstairs."
"You mean these tasks were all taken over by the young master?"
"good."
"Including those three S-level missions today?" Gu Yu's eyes widened. This was absolutely impossible.
"Don't you know? The three S-ranks were taken care of by the senior brother. He's already left. I heard he's in seclusion."
"I think this must be a test from the Palace Master. I must say, this method is quite exciting. I just wonder what the success rate of answering it will be?"
"Since this morning, one-fifth of the people have cancelled their bounties, so the problem should be resolved satisfactorily. Someone will definitely confirm it within the next week, and then we'll know."
"This is really something to look forward to."
The bounty tower is packed with disciples today, and more disciples who have heard the news are waiting outside to witness a miracle.
Ye Xiruo was completely unaware of all this, lost in the thrill of completing tasks. She only woke up when the manager reminded her it was time for dinner, quickly finished the remaining two tasks, and prepared to call it a day.
"That's enough for today! It's almost done. I'll come back in a couple of days."
The manager was on the verge of tears. "Since you came, the bounty post has almost been closed, and it was almost overcrowded. You should come less often!"
"You accepted a total of 170 missions today, 43 of which were A-level and 89 were B-level..."
"Stop talking, what I care about is the spirit stones."
"A 100% accuracy rate yields 1,500 high-grade spirit stones, and a 90% accuracy rate yields 1,200 high-grade spirit stones..."
The steward was about to continue speaking when Ye Xiruo interrupted him, saying, "I understand. You've worked hard today." She gave the steward five high-grade spirit stones and said, "I'll head back now."
"Respectfully seeing off the young prince."
As soon as Ye Xiruo went downstairs, she realized that the situation seemed a bit bad. Why were there so many people? She became a little nervous.
"Hello! The Bounty Tower is under renovation today. If you want to accept a mission or a bounty mission, please come back tomorrow."
Feeling that these people's gazes were somewhat strange, Ye Xiruo forced a big smile.
"Greetings, Young Master."
"No need for formalities. It's getting late, you should all go back and rest early!"
She finally got downstairs. Luckily, these people knew to make way for her, otherwise she really wouldn't know how to get out of the bounty tower.
Ye Xiruo practically escaped from the bounty tower. The disciples behind her looked utterly dejected when they saw her.
"I didn't expect it to be true, it really is the young master."
"Young Master, so cute! Those eyes are like a rabbit's, so adorable!"
"The young master is indeed a genius, he has swept up one-twentieth of the bounty tower's missions."
"Wait, how many? One hundred and eighty-seven. This number has already broken the previous record of one hundred and sixty. Young Master has gloriously become the number one bounty hunter in the Bounty Tower."
"I'll wait for the results. Even if it's only 70% accurate, I'll be completely convinced."
Ye Xiruo ran wildly, holding her breath, but unexpectedly bumped into someone.
"Hey, are you alright?"
"It's nothing." Who else could that familiar voice be but Brother Xiu Qi? Ye Xiruo raised her head, unable to hide the smile on her face.
Why are you here?
"I came back and found you weren't in your bedchamber, so I came looking for you. Why did you run off in such a hurry?" Xiu Qiyu pulled Ye Xiruo's slightly cold hand and gently patted her back to help her catch her breath.
"My senior brother and I went to the Bounty Tower to accept a mission. He was disloyal and left me behind. I ended up being surrounded by people at the Bounty Tower and barely managed to escape."
Xiu Qiyu chuckled: "It's not like that. You are the young master, they won't do anything to you. Don't be so pathetic in the future." With Xiu Qiyu's strength, he could clearly sense that Ye Xiruo was very tired and her face was somewhat pale.
"Don't work so hard in the future. I'll take you back to rest."
"I want to earn more spirit stones," Ye Xiruo said with a silly grin.
Xiu Qiyu picked up Ye Xiruo directly, eliciting a gasp from her.
"Someone will see it."
"This way we can get back to rest sooner," Xiu Qiyu explained earnestly.
