Chapter 186 - 186 Accumulating Energy
186 Accumulating Energy
“One more and we’ll have it all.”
They were still short of an Angel.
“Times have changed.” Chen Long grabbed the iron chain and looked up at the sun in the sky.
It was almost evening when all the members of Fang Ping’s team gathered in the corridor.
!!
“Gather here at six o’clock tomorrow morning and leave the Holy City of Kailund. The materials, weapons, and equipment we’ve accumulated along the way have been exchanged for money. Fang Ping, distribute the money later. Each person has at least eight silver coins. Those who need to change their weapons and equipment can go to the Kailund District.”
Elsa added, “Most people travel together. Be careful at all times. If you die, there’s nothing left. Fang Ping, come and get the money.”
Elsa took out a cloth bag, and the coins inside clinked.
Fang Ping walked over. When Teacher Elsa handed him the money bag, she asked in a low voice, “How many people know?”
“Only Chen Long.”
“Okay, keep it a secret.”
After taking the money bag, Fang Ping took out a small notebook from his pocket. This was what Fang Ping used to record.
Sometimes, when the spoils of war were abundant, they would be divided on the spot. Sometimes, when it was materials, they would be valued and distributed. The amount sold would definitely be different from the estimate. Therefore, if there was no record, it would be very troublesome to distribute.
Of course, recording it was also very troublesome.
These people were not good at mathematics. In fact, during the distribution process, it was not impossible for Fang Ping to fill his own pockets. However, it was not necessary for him to do that for a few silver coins.
The risk is not proportional to the benefit.
“Qing Niao, this is yours. Fourteen silver dragons and five bronze horns.”
“Really? That’s great!” Qing Niao took it excitedly. “In less than a month, I’ve earned more than I’ve earned in the past ten years!”
“Black Star, yours. Eleven silver dragons.”
Black Star floated over, took it, and left lightly.
“Bianca, nine silver dragons.”
Bianca muttered under her breath and took it. She’d changed her gear. She must have bought it in Dwarf City. It looked expensive, too.
Different people had different reactions when Fang Ping took the money. Eleven silver dragons per person was equivalent to more than 30,000 copper coins.
For a group of students, they could earn more than 30,000 yuan just by going out. Other than a small number of especially rich in-service training students, most of them were still very happy.
“Fang Ping, are you giving me special treatment? Twenty-eight silver coins. Am I the best?”
Lisa took the money and gently brushed her fingertips across Fang Ping’s palm.
Fang Ping lowered his head and continued to read his notebook. “Your contributions in battle are worth this money. Move aside first. Next, White Snow.”
Lisa bent down slightly and leaned close to Fang Ping’s ear. She said softly, “This is the first time I’ve used the Charm Spell. Looks like its side effects are quite lasting.”
Then she was gone.
Indeed, Fang Ping was a little distracted last night. After a night of fermentation, he did not dare to look at Lisa today.
He felt a little awkward.
“Commander Fang Ping, stop daydreaming. She already left.”
Fang Ping looked up and saw White Snow standing in front of him, a faint smile on her face.
“Ah, wait a minute. Let me calculate.”
…
Fang Ping gave himself 18 Silver Dragons. Although they were all slacking commands, they were still commands after all. It was normal to have more.
Moreover, Teacher Elsa had said that escorting the Elven Princess back to the Elven Forest had already been reported to the Mission Hall as a mission. In other words, as long as they successfully returned to the Elven City, they could obtain a mission reward.
It was such a long and dangerous journey. The reward wouldn’t be low, right? Would it be calculated in gold coins?
Fang Ping was looking forward to the characteristics the next gold coin would get him.
“What about mine? Where’s my money?”
Fang Ping looked at the door. Xiang Yu strode in.
“I heard that there’s a bonus based on contribution. Why isn’t there any for me?”
“You’re not part of the team. How can you contribute?”
“In the cave tunnel, if I didn’t transmit my Golden Body characteristic, I don’t know how many people would have died. How would I not have contributed?”
“Mu Xi, you’re here.”
“Andre, don’t you think so?”
Fang Ping shook his head. “You did contribute a lot in that battle, but we couldn’t even kill a bat in that battle. Where did the spoils come from?”
“How can you say that! Then who will save people in the future? Protect people?”
Fang Ping had never had a good impression of Xiang Yu. He could not be bothered with him anymore. He said, “I understand your situation too. It’s just that the money has already been distributed. It’s impossible to collect it and distribute it again. I suggest you go straight to Teacher Elsa.”
“Hmph! So be it!”
Watching him leave angrily, Andre said from the side, “Fang Ping, you don’t seem to like Mu Xi very much.”
“Andre, do you think everyone will do it for the good of humanity? Could there be some people who actually have other motives?”
“There’s another motive. Do you suspect Mu Xi of being a spy? That’s unlikely. Humanity is no longer the strength it once had before the Holy War. If Humans are destroyed, spies can’t survive.”
Fang Ping nodded. That was true. As long as the skin did not exist, how could the fur stick to it?
It was certain that Xiang Yu was Human.
Perhaps he was thinking too much.
Fang Ping looked out the door. The sun was slowly darkening. They were leaving tomorrow. Qing Niao went out to help buy dry rations, potions, and so on.
After only staying in the Dwarf City for two days, he felt that many things had happened.
He had made a lot of money from the Grass Cypress and gotten to know the Goldfinger. He wondered if he could really help Goldfinger and fly that plane like his name.
In theory, without the restrictions of motors and fuel, the planes in this world should be better.
Fang Ping was a dabbler and could only give Goldfinger a hint. As for how far he could go, Fang Ping could not say.
He hoped that he could live longer.
Then, they fought four rounds in the arena.
Fang Ping also had a better understanding of his advantages and shortcomings. He had more advantages in a team and was not aggressive enough in a one-on-one fight.
However, the most important thing now was to accumulate energy.
…
The Holy City of Kailund, the Three Hammers Council.
“I vote against it. According to the ancient teachings, we Dwarves have to remain neutral. We can’t rely on other races!”
A silver-haired Dwarf threw the black iron into the wooden cup.
There was only one vote left. Everyone looked at the Dwarf at the end.
His white hair and beard were long. His hair covered the chair and hung to the ground. His eyes were closed, and his body rose and fell with his breathing.
He was too old. The deep wrinkles on his face were traces of time that passed him by.
He had seen the people who spoke in the ancient teachings that the Dwarves respected.
He was already very old.
“The Great Elder has fallen asleep again.”
The Dwarf Councillors conversed in low voices.
“It’s useless even if he comes. He’s sleeping every time. He’s probably going to abstain again this time.”
“He entered the Three Hammers Council because of his age. He’s already so old, but he doesn’t go back to retire. Why is he staying here to join in the fun?”
“It’s a draw. We have to wait another seven days before we can vote again.”
As he spoke, the old Dwarf slowly opened his eyes and narrowed them into a line.
