Chapter 229 Reward
Chapter 229 Reward (Part )
"All right……"
Seeing Director Taurus's resolute expression, the red-haired director couldn't help but sigh, and completely gave up this unrealistic idea. He retreated to the next best option and said:
"Then can we change our performance ranking this year? If this incident is taken into account, our first game will be almost the same even if it's not first, right?"
"Well... how about we count it for next year?"
Director Taurus hesitated for a moment and said, not expecting her to think about this.
"The performance slate has already been released, and the only person with the authority to adjust the ranking is not here. It would be extremely troublesome to change it now..."
"Then can I not change the order but add a note?"
"Ah? How do I add a note?"
"It's just a temporary change of the name of our Virgin Branch."
Unable to bear the shame of working diligently for a whole year only to end up at the bottom of the list, the red-haired director suggested with anticipation:
"As long as we change the name from 'Virgin Branch' to 'Virgin Branch (actually the first)', our ranking on the performance slate will be displayed as 'No. 87, Virgin Branch (actually the first)', and we won't be at the bottom... Is this okay?"
"..."
You can come up with such a weird idea...
After opening his mouth speechlessly, he felt that if he didn't agree to her request, he would be a bit sorry for this "hero". So Director Taurus could only sigh, nodded and agreed to the Virgo Branch's temporary name change.
When the red-haired director picked up the chisel and happily started to scratch the performance slate, the Taurus director turned his head to look at the director of the Leo Bureau and asked:
"What about you, Beverly?"
"My request remains the same as before."
Beverly, who had already thought of what she wanted, asked with a smile:
"I hope you can find someone to replace me as the director for a month, and then send me to the kingdom of the God of Sweets, so that it can make snacks for me for a month."
"Okay, you can leave tomorrow."
After hearing the identical request from the "Crazy Eating and Drinking Duo", Director Taurus couldn't help but laugh, nodded and agreed, then looked at Leon and said kindly:
"What about you, Leon? What do you want?"
Lyon hesitated for a moment after hearing this, and then opened his mouth to test:
"As for me...can I make a few more requests?"
"of course can."
Unlike the two directors whose infection values are as high as 70 points and who have no desires other than to fill their stomachs, Leon, a third-level rookie, only wants to improve his strength as quickly as possible.
He already had enough powerful anomalies on him, and some of them were even too much to use. Improving the infection value was not something that could be done overnight. The only way to quickly improve it was with the badge and the secret technique he had just obtained, so...
"My first request is... can you lend me the Dionysus bead?"
Seeing Director Taurus frowning slightly, Leon quickly explained:
"I'm not asking for the bead on behalf of the director. I just want to drink it myself. And I definitely won't drink too much. Just one sip of each brew will do."
Just one bite of each?
Director Jinniu said with some doubt:
"Why only one sip?"
Because just one mouthful is enough to complete the collection and advance the [Martyr of the Wine Country] badge.
Looking at the golden [Martyr of the Wine Country] on the badge panel, Lyon's heart was suddenly filled with anticipation.
If you want to advance to the gold level of [Martyr of the Wine Country], you need to taste a thousand kinds of "fine wines" or above, a hundred kinds of "fine wines" or above, ten kinds of "mellow wines" or above, and one kind of "intoxicating wine" or above.
This condition is really too difficult. I have accompanied the director to drink several times, but I have not even completed one tenth of it. However, if the beads of the god of wine are really that magical, maybe I can fill up the [Martyr of the Wine Country] in one go and directly advance to the different-colored badge [Wine Fairy]!
That's a different color! To see how powerful the badges are at the different color stage, you only need to look at the [Material] of the same different color to know that the effect is comparable to the top abnormal objects. When faced with the opportunity to swipe out a second different color badge, any other rewards have to stand aside!
……
"Actually, I like drinking, but I don't like to get drunk. I just want to taste it, so one sip of each is enough!"
Leon was eager to get the second badge of a different color. He was worried about being dragged down by his drunkard chief, so he simply swore:
"Mr. Taurus! Don't worry, I promise I will only drink it myself this time and will definitely not share it with our director! I won't give her even a single sip!"
"..."
Seeing Leon selling Olivia without hesitation in order to drink wine, Director Taurus couldn't help but sigh.
Alas... he seemed like such a good child before, but unfortunately he fell into Olivia's hands and was corrupted by her.
Right now, this kid's physical fitness is average, and his alcohol tolerance is relatively low. When his physical fitness improves in the future, he will probably be a heavy drinker who is not inferior to Olivia...
"Fine……"
After rubbing his brows with a headache, Director Taurus said helplessly:
"You must keep your word and not share the wine with Olivia. She really should stop drinking. If she keeps drinking like this, she'll get into trouble sooner or later."
"Yeah! I promise I won't give her a single bite!"
"Then I'll have someone send the beads over in a few days...what are your other requests?"
"As for the second request...I want to touch the Aquarius Star Palace."
"???"
Seeing Director Taurus's expression suddenly become serious, Leon quickly explained:
"You know, my ability is to obtain information through touch, and I just got some knowledge about the secret art of abnormal creation, so..."
"So you want to try and see if you can figure out how to get the Star Palace's approval through touch, and then learn the Aquarius secret technique?"
After roughly understanding Leon's idea, Director Taurus said with some embarrassment:
“This is a bit troublesome… The star palaces that carry the Twelve Mysteries are very large, and they are all zodiac star palaces. They usually move around the sun, so you definitely can’t get through.
Although the directors can rely on their own authority to temporarily summon a small part of the corresponding Star Palace, the status of this thing is very high. Although it is not as high as the Watch Palace, it is higher than most true gods. Are you sure you can touch it?"
“Although I’m not sure, I still want to try…”
Knowing that Director Taurus was a genuine "good guy" and a saint who was willing to quietly burn himself for the sake of all mankind, Leon revealed a little bit of his true colors and said tentatively:
"Sir Taurus, I think my abnormal object rank is quite high, and I might be able to find something.
And I guess, our bureau doesn't seem to have complete information about the Star Palace? If I can really find out some information, maybe more people can master the secret technique, which is also a good thing."
"..."
If you put it that way...it's true...
"Okay! I agree!"
After frowning and thinking for a while, Director Taurus nodded slowly, convinced by Leon's proposal, and then said seriously:
“Only the corresponding director can summon the corresponding star palace. Now Aquarius has defected, and the corresponding star palace has also been sealed by the director, so I can only summon part of the Taurus star palace and let you try to touch it.
Leon, if you really find a way to learn the corresponding secret technique directly without the approval of the Star Palace, I dare not say other secret techniques, but I promise to teach you the Taurus lineage's 'Abnormal Forging' secret technique myself! I will teach you as much as you can learn!"
