“It’s a success just like that?”
Sitting in the audience, Margaret Yule watched David Jones receive the prize from Chairman Woolf, a slightly stunned expression on her face.
Her high-stakes gamble had paid off early, she should be happy, but why was there a faint sense of disappointment in her heart instead?
“A woman chasing a man is separated only by a veil; if you’re interested, you can make a move now!” Oswald Maud, who was sitting next to her, couldn’t help but say.
Margaret Yule frowned slightly, “What are you talking about?”
Oswald Maud coughed lightly, “Nothing.”
He had known Margaret Yule for many years and had a good sense of her feelings. However, this was none of his business, and it didn’t need him to get involved.
As a friend, a reminder was enough.
After hesitating for a while, Margaret Yule quietly said, “Instead of wasting time getting to know someone, it’s better to seize the time and become a King-level Trainer as soon as possible.”
Oswald Maud was a bit taken aback.
Indeed, ordinary trainers only had a lifespan of a hundred years, but
King-level Trainers could live up to three hundred years. If one couldn’t break through this difficult level, even the most beautiful face would turn into dry bones under the ruthless passage of time. No wonder Margaret Yule did not dare to speak her mind.
At this moment, David Jones, who had received his award, returned to his seat and curiously asked, “What were you guys talking about? Why do you look so downcast?”
Margaret Yule smiled and chose to change the subject.
Looking at the medal hanging around David’s neck, she curiously asked, “Is this medal made from gold or Arcane Gold?”
David Jones smiled, “Of course, it’s Arcane Gold.”
Arcane Gold, a rare precious metal, was in short supply in the market and commonly used by blacksmiths to make high-quality arcane implements.
This material had even higher purchasing power than star coins in the Trainer’s mall, only slightly less than Contribution Points in the Trainer Guild.
The amount of star coins that could be traded was the same, one gram of Arcane Gold could be traded for tens of thousands of star coins.
This exquisite Arcane Gold medal weighed more than two hundred grams, and its value alone was more than two million star coins, not to mention the honour it represented.
After chatting with Margaret Yule, David Jones sat upright, maintaining a dignified demeanor, and watched the award ceremony quietly.
He didn’t have a choice; the surprised glances from the trainers around him were a bit scary.
As expected, the second place in the Trainer Competition went to Nixon Lowell.
The competitor who got the third place was a surprise to David Jones.
He looked at Snow Clark, who became the focus of the audience on the stage, his expression a bit odd.
How did Snow Clark, who had all her pet resources taken away by him, manage to place third?
How many competitors’ pet resources did she seize in the dungeon?!
The award ceremony of the Trainer Competition ended successfully in the morning, while the afternoon was the time for a significant conference held by the presidents of the city guilds in Sunbeam Province.
After parting ways with Guildmaster Maud, David Jones and the others went straight to the banquet restaurant for lunch.
The banquet prepared by the Trainer Guild was very substantial.
Looking at the delicious food in front of him, David Jones summoned Rainbow from his Star Ring.
But before he and Rainbow could enjoy a delicious meal, many competitors took the initiative to come up and greet him, expressing their desire to make friends and discuss Dragon Pet training issues.
At first, David Jones naturally discussed and analyzed issues with them. But suddenly, a few outrageous trainers started to introduce their talented and gentle sisters to David Jones, which bothered him.
The competitors who participated this time were all around eighteen years old, which meant their sisters were all under eighteen.
Jeez, these trainers who introduced their sisters were too ridiculous!
So, feeling that the situation around him was getting weirder, David Jones left the banquet restaurant hurriedly without eating much.
Seeing this, Margaret Yule lost her appetite and left with David Jones.
Watching the departing figures of David Jones and Margaret Yule, a smirk appeared on Oswald Maud’s face as he fed the leftover bones in his hand to the Thunder Lion lying on the ground.
Then he murmured softly to himself, “There must be something going on between these two!”
David Jones left the restaurant quickly, grumbling to Margaret Yule, “They’re too much!”
He had heard about bridegrooms being abducted under the list before, but this was the first time he had seen such behavior.
Margaret Yule calmly said, “No matter the gender, the more talented the Beast Taming Genius, the more popular they are. You’ll get used to it after seeing it more.”
“Hmph!” (▼zT #) (My lunch!)
Rainbow, who was coiled around David Jones’s arm, raised her head, looking somewhat annoyed.
She had only eaten half of the food on the table, and the other half of the delicious food hadn’t been touched yet!
David Jones couldn’t help but laugh.
With Rainbow’s current appetite, the banquet’s delicacies could only let her taste them; only pet resources rich in Arcane Force could truly feed her!
Looking at the Star Ring on his finger, David Jones suddenly said, “By the way, I’m planning to apply to Rosewood College next year.”
Margaret Yule’s face brightened with a joyful smile.
Out of the Big Five in Flowery Kingdom, the university she wanted to attend the most was Rosewood College, even though her chances of getting admitted were very slim!
But for David Jones, getting into Rosewood College was almost a sure thing!
She turned to look at David Jones seriously, “Can I ask you for a favor?”
David Jones smiled, confidently saying, “No problem!”
Margaret Yule: “You haven’t asked what the favor is. Aren’t you afraid I’ll trick you?”
David gave Margaret a deep look and said, “I’m not stupid. You’ve said before that you won’t make things difficult for me. If you really wanted to trick me, wouldn’t I refuse?”
Hearing this, Margaret Yule stiffened for a moment, then quickly returned to her normal expression.
She changed the subject and said, “The academic credits from the Big Five in Flowery Kingdom can be exchanged for Pet Resources. When you have enough credits, I’d like you to help me exchange for a Star-Refining Elixir.”
“Star-Refining Elixir!”
David Jones was slightly startled. Wasn’t this the reward he had just received in the morning?
Margaret Yule: “The market price of a regular Star-Refining Elixir is above ten million star coins, but it’s hard to buy one. The SS tier Star-Refining Elixir exchanged from the Big Five in Flowery Kingdom is priced at thirty million star coins. I can offer an increased price of 50%, that is 45 million star coins, or the same value of pet resources to buy it.”
Without any hesitation, David Jones nodded, “No problem.”
Margaret Yule didn’t force David Jones, and even left the decision of whether there were enough credits for the exchange to him, highlighted by one word: trust.
As a friend, he could accept this simple request.
This decision had nothing to do with the Void Stone Star Ring worth tens of millions on his finger!
