Chapter 139 Frost Core
Chapter 139 Frost Core
"Frost core? Isn't this thing only found in extremely cold places?" Qi Yu asked with a frown.
"Brother Yu, you are indeed a connoisseur. Since you know this thing, I won't introduce it in detail. Yes, it is the "Frost Core" that can only be obtained in the depths of the extremely cold land."
Wu Yi tapped the letter paper on the table with his fingers and then said, "Actually, it's not difficult for you to do this. You just need to take a picture of it when you see it."
Then Wu Yi took out a purse from his sleeve and placed it in front of Qi Yu: "These are the mission funds given to you by the teacher. You can use them to bid for the "Frost Core"."
Qi Yu picked up the purse and weighed it, finding it quite heavy. He opened it and took a quick look, and discovered that there were at least 30 platinum coins.
Qi Yu's eyes were slightly surprised. It seemed that Liu Hao had invested a lot of money and must have let him go with the mentality of winning at all costs.
Seeing this, Wu Yi smiled and said, "Teacher means that no matter what method you use, as long as he sees the object in the end, that's fine."
Qi Yu understood, in other words, even if he didn't spend a penny and robbed the "Frost Core", then the bag of platinum coins would still belong to him.
Wu Yi crossed his legs and said to him, "Also, you don't have to worry about being discovered by Teacher Zhang. You're a wood elemental mage, and no one will think that you bought the Frost Core."
Qi Yu looked at his right hand. He wondered if it was because of the environment here, but there was no ring on his right hand at all.
So, he gently picked up the purse and letter paper, then looked up and asked casually, "Why does Teacher Liu want the Frost Core? Isn't he also a Wood Elemental Mage?"
Wu Yi spread his hands and said, "I don't know. How can I know what the teacher is thinking? I am just a small apprentice. I just need to do my job. Don't you think so?"
Wu Yi raised his eyebrows at Qi Yu, with a clear warning in his eyes. Qi Yu saw this and realized that he was referring to him, so he nodded and said:
"I'm just asking casually. Is there anything else besides this? If not, I'll leave first. I still have to prepare for tomorrow's auction."
Wu Yi saw Qi Yu standing up and determined to leave, so he hurriedly called him to stop, then took out two standard mana crystals, held them out to Qi Yu and said:
"This is for you. It's your monthly reward from the teacher. The teacher asked me to remind you that after completing this task, you still need to complete three tasks this month."
"I know. Just come to me when the time comes. Remember to tell me in advance. Don't attack by surprise like today." Qi Yu walked up to him, took the two mana crystals from his hands, and was about to turn around and leave.
Qi Yu suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to know how to leave this illusion, so he looked up at him and asked, "How do I get out?"
Wu Yi shook his head, then snapped his fingers lightly. The surrounding scenery quickly receded in Qi Yu's eyes. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself lying in a bush.
Qi Yu slowly stood up and looked around. He saw that he was surrounded by lush bushes. There was a piece of grass that was flattened in the bushes next to it. It was obvious that another person was lying here a few minutes ago.
Qi Yu understood instantly that this was where Wu Yi was lying. But judging from the appearance of this place, he should have left a few minutes ago.
Qi Yu was just about to rub his head when suddenly he found something in his hand. He looked down and saw the three things that Wu Yi gave him in the illusion were now lying in his palm.
Qi Yu checked it and found that it was exactly the same as what he saw in the illusion, without any difference. He immediately felt very magical.
After he put all the things into the ring, he pushed the ground with his hands and exerted force. He stood up suddenly and looked around. Fortunately, it was late at night and no one came here. He was lying there without being discovered.
Qi Yu then pretended nothing had happened, walked onto the campus street, identified the direction, and then walked towards the boys' dormitory.
…………
On the other side, Wu Yi was walking on the campus street with his hands in his pockets and squinting his eyes. Apprentices passed by him from time to time. Just as he passed an intersection, the little bird on his shoulder suddenly chirped a few times and then flew into this inconspicuous intersection.
Wu Yi paused, then quickly followed. Like Qi Yu, Wu Yi was led by the bird to twist and turn in the box. After circling around countless times, he finally stopped in an open space.
I saw a figure in a teacher's robe standing in the middle of the open space. The emerald green bird was sitting on his shoulder, chirping and rubbing his head affectionately.
Seeing this, Wu Yi stopped, half-knelt down not far from the man, and said respectfully: "Teacher, I have told him everything you told me."
The man in the teacher's robe slowly turned around. Under the moonlight, he exuded a solemn aura. This man was Liu Hao.
Liu Hao waved at him gently, motioning him to stand up, then hooked his finger, and a beam of white light instantly flew out from Wu Yi's sleeve and flew in front of Liu Hao.
It was a fist-sized bead, emitting a faint glow, floating in front of Liu Hao. Liu Hao gently grabbed it and put it into his ring. Then he said, "He didn't raise any other conditions, but just agreed directly?"
Wu Yi replied: "Yes, Qi Yu promised to keep an eye out for the existence of the "Frost Core" at the auction tomorrow and then bid for it without any additional conditions."
Liu Hao snorted coldly: "Oh? I thought he made such a big noise in the "Trial of Nature" that he needed to be beaten well before he would obey. Even if it is his true self, it is not in vain for me to use the "Mirage". "
Then Liu Hao said: "You completed the task well this time, but I still need you to do one more thing."
Wu Yi pretended to listen attentively, waiting for Liu Hao's next words.
"He will go to the auction with Zhang Xu tomorrow. When the Frost Core is auctioned, even if the people from the Water Element Academy intervene, he will definitely be able to win it with 30 platinum coins." Liu Hao analyzed while stroking his chin, then pointed at Wu Yi and said:
"And I heard that Zhang Xu will go out to do some work when he returns. He will be alone on the way back, so those people from the Water Element Academy will definitely attack him on the way back to compete for the "Frost Core". What I want you to do is to follow him secretly and find the right time..."
Wu Yi lowered his head and said, "Do you want me to protect him?"
"No." Liu Hao shook his head. "I'm not asking you to protect him. On the contrary, I want you to help those people from the Water Element Academy snatch the things from him."
Wu Yi was slightly stunned when he heard this, with a puzzled expression on his face, and said: "Teacher...this..."
His doubts only lasted for a while, and when he saw Liu Hao's subsequent performance, he was relieved.
Liu Hao threw a set of azure apprentice-level robes with wave ripples embroidered on the edges to Wu Yi, and also gave him a mask with wave ripples painted on it.
Wu Yi looked down at the robe in his hand, and saw the words "Water Element Academy" written on the chest...
