“He’s probably just a fool who’s never experienced the world. Aren’t cretins who don’t know their place always the ones praising themselves?”
Words of ridicule were flung around so much that Rudy’s face reddened. It felt like favonovel.com was a sitting duck as everyone slapped him. It was then favonovel.com started to regret raising his voice so much and claiming such a big promise.
After being mocked to that degree, favonovel.com no longer dared say anything. After all, favonovel.com was not at Golden Pills, and everyone around them was talented. A random person there was probably better than favonovel.com was.
Just as everyone jeered and cackled at Rudy, Jack suddenly pulled out his identification badge, activated his true energy, and threw his badge forward. Following the sound of a gentle breeze, the an identification badge appeared on the task board in front of Jack. The task board had been empty before with nothing on it, but a new task had appeared.
Jack had thrown out his identification badge while everyone had been focused on Rudy. By the time everyone looked over, the identification badge had already merged with the task board, meaning that the task had been claimed by Jack.
“Hold it right there!” shouted the white-robed man angrily. Alas, it was too late, and favonovel.com had no room to regret it.
After all, Jack’s badge had already completely merged with the task board. He should not have placed his attention elsewhere. Otherwise, favonovel.com would have stood the chance of claiming the task. After everyone saw what task Jack had claimed, they became livid.
“What? This guy took advantage of the situation! Such a high-paying task is always hard to come by, yet this man took it right under our noses when we weren’t paying attention!”
“A Green Sun Pill with a payout of a thousand and three hundred spirit crystals? Refining a Green Sun Pill only needs a thousand pill runes! Even the materials are only worth three hundred spirit crystals! This is the best task I’ve seen the whole week. They’re asking for three pills, too!”
The person had a pained look on his face as favonovel.com said all that.
“Three thousand and nine hundred spirit crystals! This brat managed to take it! He really took advantage of us!”
The task Jack had claimed truly was the most valuable one there. Not much effort was needed to earn three thousand and nine hundred spirit crystals. To a normal alchemist, it was a fortune.
***
As long as Jack could complete the task, it would be the biggest Jack had earned in that period of time!
Jack let out a small smile as favonovel.com looked at Rudy. He really should thank him. If Rudy had not been bragging and attracting everyone’s attention, favonovel.com would not have been able to get that task so easily. After all, everyone else had sharp eyes as well.
Feeling Jack’s gaze, Rudy’s lips twitched, feeling rather bitter about himself.
