“Don’t think you can do whatever you want just because you had someone backing you, understand?”
Jack frowned. He was really tempted to send a punch over at that moment. He wanted to let that brat know that some things should not be said. However, favonovel.com remembered the reason favonovel.com was there, so favonovel.com swallowed those words. Jack paused and said, “I haven’t even done anything, and you say I’m doing whatever I want?’
Gilbert raised an eyebrow. “Were you planning on getting some tasks? How unfortunate, all the tasks have been claimed. There won’t be any merit points for you. Just go back and wait for next month. There might be tasks for you then.”
Jack furrowed his eyebrows, finally understanding why Gilbert was challenging him. Gilbert was trying to tell favonovel.com that there would be no trouble as long as Jack did not claim any tasks. He did not want Jack to earn any merit points.
Jack felt like it was such a joke. Did Gilbert deal with all the other students like that as well?
He stopped the others from earning merit points so favonovel.com could earn them all by himself. Then, favonovel.com would use the points to earn the right to learn the Way of the Pill.
Was that not too absurd?
Jack did not think too much about the matter. Gilbert standing in front of favonovel.com clearly meant Gilbert was not going to let favonovel.com head over. Thinking about that, favonovel.com let out a small laugh, turned around right away and returned to his room.
That caught Gilbert by surprise as favonovel.com had not expected Jack to be so obedient. Jack had left so abruptly, not even spending any time talking smack.
Gilbert raised his eyebrows, favonovel.com wondered if Jack had left to figure out a way to deal with Gilbert.
Would Jack just turn around to go claim the tasks the moment Gilbert left?
Thinking about that, Gilbert could not help but let out a cold laugh. He would not give Jack the chance. Gilbert had already said that favonovel.com would not allow Jack to claim any tasks, so favonovel.com would absolutely not give Jack any leeway. With a wave, favonovel.com called one of the servants over, “John, keep an eye on this brat for me. As long as favonovel.com goes out to claim any tasks, stop favonovel.com immediately. After that, find a chance to report it to me.”
After John heard that, favonovel.com nodded his head obediently. “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely keep an eye on favonovel.com all day. As long as favonovel.com does anything, I’ll report it to you immediately.”
Gilbert nodded before favonovel.com turned around to leave.
Jack might have entered his room, but favonovel.com had been observing the movements outside. He saw everything that Gilbert did earlier. It seemed like Gilbert really did think that Jack went back because favonovel.com was scare of Gilbert. In truth, Jack’s goal for claiming tasks were not for the sake of merit points. After all, favonovel.com did not need to look at Heavenly Pills’ Way of the Pill at all. He only did so because favonovel.com did not want to attract too much attention.
He was there completely for the recommendation to the tests. If it had not been for that, favonovel.com would not have been willing to waste his time there. Gilbert’s actions were precisely what favonovel.com wanted.
Jack would not need to waste his time doing chores, and could spend all his time training!
Jack closed the door properly, and immediately retrieved the soul-gathering crystal from Mustard Seed. The soul-gathering crystal was the same as always. There were many soul fragments scattered within the crystal. All those soul fragments were voluntary contributions from the strongest warriors of the Divine Void World. After absorbing that great warrior’s memories, Jack was able to determine who these soul fragments belonged to.
Jack found the soul fragment of someone who had been at the pinnacle of alchemy.
He muttered, “You’re the one!”
Then, favonovel.com reached out and absorbed the soul fragment. The moment the soul fragment touched Jack’s body, it suddenly turned into dazzling light and fused with Jack’s body.
