Chapter 526 - 525: A Foolproof Bet (Second Update)
Yun Ran is such a formidable person with such strong backing, yet she still thinks about training and doesn’t indulge in enjoyment.
Those who thought they could enjoy luxury forever after a sudden ascent really look utterly weak right now.
"Go get me a few tasks that have been posted."
Yun Ran could certainly find them herself, but she has taken on a little apprentice now. If she does everything herself, what’s the point of having a little apprentice, just for decoration?
Xin Fu immediately nodded: "Yes, temple master, I’ll go right away."
At this moment, in the main building, only Ginsengfruit and Yun Ran were left.
Ginsengfruit immediately stood up and sized up Yun Ran from head to toe: "Host, why do I feel like your aura has changed a bit?"
Yun Ran waved her hand: "Of course it has. Now, I’m the temple master of Qingfeng Temple in this world. Do you think a young master and a temple master are the same?"
Has the host leveled up, and so he leveled up too?
"Host, so now, am I the senior brother of Qingfeng Temple?"
"You could say that!"
Ginsengfruit immediately chuckled. Being a senior brother now, in all those TV dramas, senior brothers are always very impressive.
"Alright, hurry up and pack your things, we need to get out and lay low."
Ginsengfruit was suddenly stunned. Wait, didn’t they just set up Qingfeng Temple, and he hasn’t even had the chance to show off his senior brother status, and now they’re going to hide?
Although Yun Ran and Ginsengfruit have a soul-bound relationship, when it comes to Qingfeng Temple’s traditions, Yun Ran blocked their shared consciousness.
Naturally, Ginsengfruit had no idea what had happened earlier at Qingfeng Temple.
Yun Ran briefly explained the situation.
"Xuan Kong said those old monsters probably have some unknown means. While I’m not afraid of them, if they’re determined to fight to the death, it would be quite troubling, so it’s better to steer clear for now."
Ginsengfruit found them utterly annoying, those who like to seize others’ belongings.
However, now they’re the porcelain, others are the rubble; if they clash head-on, even a little loss would put them at a disadvantage.
He could only sulk with his head down: "Got it, I’ll go pack things right now."
While Ginsengfruit was packing, Xin Fu returned, holding a tablet, respectfully delivering it to Yun Ran.
"Temple master, here are the tasks selected as per your earlier instructions. Please take a look."
Yun Ran took the tablet and saw that the highest reward task was only a few tens of millions.
Before, Yun Ran wouldn’t have minded, but now, being the temple master of Qingfeng Temple, taking on such ’cheap’ tasks seemed a bit beneath her dignity.
"Are there any with higher rewards?"
"Yes, on the second page. The rewards for those tasks are higher, but the risk is at least ten times greater, not cost-effective."
Xin Fu was quite reliable; in such a short time, he quickly sorted out which tasks were cost-effective and which were high-reward but not worthwhile.
Yun Ran glanced at the second page, her gaze instantly locking onto the highest-reward task there.
"This one with a billion reward, why isn’t there a detailed introduction?"
Xin Fu never thought Yun Ran would choose the task he first ruled out without hesitation.
"Temple master, this task is extremely dangerous. I inquired and found it was posted three years ago.
Moreover, the reward increases each year. In a few months, it’ll be the fourth year, and it’s expected to increase.
Some people took the task just for the reward before, but none of them returned alive.
If not for the poster being willing to spend money, keeping this task highlighted at the top, no one might have seen such a reward by now."
Yun Ran, you see, has a bit of rebelliousness in her, and being from Qingfeng Temple, she has been cultivated with a penchant for running to dangerous places from a young age.
"Get in touch with the task poster."
Xin Fu was about to speak up, wanting to advise Yun Ran, but didn’t know what to say.
Yun Ran could naturally sense Xin Fu’s unsaid words, but so what, once she decided on something, no one could stop her.
In the end, Xin Fu could only go to contact them.
Ginsengfruit already came out carrying one of the suitcases, seeing Yun Ran tapping here and there on the tablet, he leaned his head over.
"Host, have you chosen a task already?"
By this time, Yun Ran’s finger had already tapped the task acceptance button, and the high-ranking reward task immediately changed its color.
Her clearance level, set by Gu Yuan, was very high; she could accept tasks directly without the other party’s confirmation.
Simultaneously, many others also picking tasks in real-time saw that someone took up the task everyone avoided like the plague.
The related forum exploded immediately.
[Wow, really, someone actually dared to take this task. So many people went missing before because of it.]
[I heard some rumors the other day that someone wanted to take this task, supposedly from the sect of the Xuanmen Competition winner. I thought it was all just talk, but it’s actually true.]
[Anyone want to bet on whether anyone can come back alive this time!]
[You’re too slow; the next room already opened a new betting thread, odds 1vs1000!]
[This is a sure-win trade; I’m going to place a bet, no way they can come back alive. If it were that easy, someone would’ve taken it long ago.]
...
When Xin Fu returned, Yun Ran was curiously browsing those forum threads and even placed a bet herself.
She was also the only one who placed a bet.
It’s just that the identities of those who take tasks on the forum wouldn’t be exposed.
Otherwise, if they knew the person who took the task was Yun Ran, many people would surely rush in to bet on her surviving it.
After all, there are already quite a few people in Xuan Sect who have blind faith in Yun Ran.
"Temple master, I’ve contacted the assistant of the task poster. They’re currently overseas and can only video call with you. What do you think..."
Yun Ran nodded: "Alright, go ahead and set it up."
Xin Fu didn’t leave directly. After thinking for a moment, he decided to tell Yun Ran about his experiences at the sect and how the senior uncles pressured him into taking this task.
Before Yun Ran could speak, Ginsengfruit exploded, saying: "They’re trying to sell you out! Fortunately, for this kind of task, if the person accepting it isn’t a high enough level, it requires the other party’s confirmation.
Otherwise, if you had taken the task and couldn’t complete it, you’d be mired in huge debt. Luckily, you escaped quickly..."
Just after saying this, Ginsengfruit paused. Wait, this wasn’t about escaping quickly, they’re going to take the task themselves!
Those who thought they could enjoy luxury forever after a sudden ascent really look utterly weak right now.
"Go get me a few tasks that have been posted."
