Chapter 63 - 63 Magic IOU

63 Magic IOU

“We will return to Red Plum Fruit Restaurant now. Everyone is forbidden to enter the Dark Forest without permission.

“We’ll inform you of our next move. Do you understand?”

“Understood,” everyone replied.

“Get up and go back.”

Fang Ping stood up and followed them back.

Fang Ping was full of question marks now. So why did he come here?

Instead of attending class, he came over just to stay in the restaurant? Wasn’t the training ground fragrant?

Bick Town was still very lively. People came and went, and most of them were fully armed.

Fang Ping had just experienced the battle with the Elves and wild beasts. Without Commander Shockley’s and Elsa’s two characteristics, how could he defeat them?

Who were these people to come here?

After returning to their room, Fang Ping and Andre threw their things on the ground and lay on the bed. Qing Niao began to clean the room.

“Ah, I didn’t expect us to return so quickly. I thought I would stay in the forest for a few days. I’ve prepared a lot of rations.”

“Yes, I didn’t expect us to be back so soon. Fang Ping, you can do it. Elsa letting you take command means that she thinks highly of you.”

Fang Ping sat up and began to take off the Elemental Set on his body. It was a little uncomfortable to lie there with it.

“It’s useless. We can’t beat them anyway. By the way, what was the situation when the seven of you were dealing with the adult Thunder Lizard? Their heavy armor shouldn’t be so easily broken, right?”

Andre sat up immediately. “I would have forgotten if you hadn’t mentioned it. I went to look for Elsa. She said that the Dean would give me the Awakening Stone himself. I’m so angry. How can I find Dean Su in Bick Town now?”

“Yes.” Fang Ping just remembered that Andre had yet to awaken his characteristics.

“William’s characteristics are very strong. I feel that the effect is similar to a Mage’s skill: Amnesia. It can make the enemy lose their characteristics for a short period of time.

“This is nothing to us. It’s already very strong when dealing with wild beasts like adult Thunder Lizards. The characteristic heavy armor will lose its effect, and the characteristic electric breath will lose its effect. We’re completely sitting ducks, at the mercy of others.”

Andre smiled. “With this characteristic, the stronger the opponent, the greater the impact. Moreover, I heard that he has a second characteristic. I wonder what it is.”

“A second characteristic?” Fang Ping had heard Ivan mention this during the freshmen arena tournament, but Fang Ping did not ask what it was.

“The first characteristic is that as long as there are enough Awakening Stones, it can be awakened. For some, it takes a few be awakened. For others, it can be dozens or hundreds.

It was said that there were very few people like Black Star who had not awakened after eating one to two hundred Awakening Stones.

However, after awakening the first characteristic, it would purely depend on luck to awaken the second characteristic.

“Look at our King Augustus. He still has the same characteristic after so many years. Is the Awakening Stone a problem for him? No, but he just can’t awaken.

Generally speaking, if the first characteristic is relatively weak, it’s easier to awaken the second one. However, it also requires a lot of Awakening Stones.”

Fang Ping listened to Andre’s words and thought that he had four characteristics…

While Andre was talking, Qing Niao had finished cleaning up. She walked over and sat by the bed.

“Fang Ping, lend me some money.”

“Huh?” Fang Ping was stunned. Seeing Qing Niao looking at him seriously, he nodded. “Alright, how much do you want?”

Fang Ping was considered a rich man now. He still had 86 silver coins in his hands, as well as some scattered copper horns. In addition to the capital and income of 30 silver coins from Green Leaf, he had at least a hundred silver dragons.

Moreover, he had just used two gold coins two days ago. In that case, he had obtained more than a million copper coins during this period of time!

Earn a million yuan in a month? What did I do?

Fang Ping sighed silently. He had actually used gold coins to bestow characteristics. One cost 300,000 yuan! He had even used two. He must have been crazy back then.

Andre also looked at Fang Ping. Although he had some support from Jin Dafu, he actually did not have much money.

So Andre would fight with his fists tied with a white cloth, not because he liked it, but because he didn’t have a good weapon.

Qing Niao looked at Fang Ping and bit his lip. He took a deep breath and said, “Eighty silver dragons.”

“Cough, cough, cough.” Fang Ping looked at Qing Niao. “You really think highly of me. Eighty silver dragons is two hundred and forty thousand copper coins.”

“I can sign a magic IOU with you. I’ll pay you back.”

Andre was also frightened by Qing Niao. “Qing Niao, why do you suddenly want so much money? Calm down. Don’t be deceived.”

Qing Niao shook his head. “I wasn’t deceived. It was Elsa. She said that there was a cane that suited me very well, and it was made with soul fragments. But it costs 80 silver dragons.”

“The staff of 80 silver dragons is still too expensive. The price of the staff is not high to begin with. Even with the addition of soul fragments, it’s still expensive.

“By the way, aren’t you from the Red Cloud Chamber of Commerce? Aren’t you going to borrow from them?” Andre asked.

Qing Niao shook his head. “Ochir from the Red Cloud Chamber of Commerce. He didn’t even join Fang Ping’s team. I entered by myself. Do you think the Commerce will still support me?”

Andre glanced at Fang Ping. “Speaking of which, Fang Ping, you’re also here to study with me. The two of you are really not doing your job.”

Qing Niao looked at Fang Ping. “Fang Ping, do you have money to lend me? I don’t know who else I can borrow this money from. Do you have it?”

Fang Ping took a deep breath. “I do have 80 silver dragons, but this sum of money is not a small sum…”

“I know. I know it’s a lot of money. I’ll definitely return it to you. I can give you a higher interest. I’ll return you ten silver coins every year. What do you think?”

Andre pushed Qing Niao’s shoulder. “Qing Niao, are you crazy? Do you know how much this is?”

“I believe I can still make it. I can take on hunting missions. As long as I kill a few more Magical Beasts, I can quickly earn the 80 silver coins.”

Fang Ping had participated in hunting missions before, so he knew the dangers involved. It was not that easy to earn money, so he advised, “Qing Niao, calm down.”

“I’m calm because that cane is too useful to me.”

Qing Niao was silent for a while before saying, “You have to keep this a secret.”

“My characteristic is Self-healing 2. In battle, I recover 20 points of attack every 10 seconds.”

With this characteristic, it was no wonder that Qing Niao could not die.

Qing Niao continued, “That staff is called the Light of Faith. It has a specialty, Faith. When treated, its attack power increases by two points. Every ten points of attack power increases its strength by one point.”

“In other words, as long as you fight for 50 seconds, you can increase your strength by one point.”

Qing Niao nodded. “This is a qualitative improvement for me. I also considered it for a long time before I decided to borrow money from you.”

“How do I sign the Magic IOU?” Fang Ping asked.
