1020 Big Shots Like to Complain Too (1)
In the morning, the bosses of the base all gathered in the canteen hall at the end of the town to chat. Some were smoking, some were drinking, and some were drinking coffee.
They were chatting happily and complaining about the stupid things that happened to those ascenders in their assessment bases.
A tanned and tall boss said, “Sigh, that ascendant from the Hongyan Continent has been in my base for ten years but still hasn’t completed the mission yet. Whenever I see him, my eyes hurt. Tell me, at this rate, could it be that he won’t be able to pass the assessment mission even until he dies in my base?”
The boss who spoke was the boss of the plant cultivation base. He was nicknamed the black-hearted boss by other bosses.
Typically, the ascendants who were assigned to the black-hearted boss for assessment were mostly Beast Tamers who were good at healing. The Hongyan Continent was a medium-sized world. Ten years ago, an old man with a white beard successfully ascended to the Cang Lang Continent.
The old man’s surname was He, and his name was He Zhiqiu. He was a Grand Master Beast Tamer who was over 600 years old.
According to the old man’s words, he had been stuck at the late-stage Grand Master realm for more than 600 years. If he didn’t break through soon, he would die in less than 20 years.
Philand assigned He Zhiqiu to the plant cultivation base of the black-hearted boss.
He Zhiqiu’s assessment mission was to successfully cultivate a Grade 9 Spirit Grass called Bone Nurturing Grass.
Bone Nurturing Grass was a high-grade spirit herb that was close to divine-grade. It could help souls that had lost their bodies nourish a brand new skeleton.
It was said that in ancient times, although Bone Nurturing Grass was also precious and scarce, it wasn’t extinct. At that time, if a top-notch big shot wanted to revive a person, he only needed to find a Bone Nurturing Grass and hunt the Monster Core of a demon beast called the Flesh God. Then, he would be able to grow bones and flesh and complete the revival.
However, in this era, Bone Nurturing Grass had long disappeared.
He Zhiqiu followed the cultivation method of the Bone Nurturing Grass and stayed in the plant cultivation base for ten years, but he never succeeded in cultivating a single Bone Nurturing Grass.
Just like that, he became an insolvent in the plant cultivation base.
The black-hearted boss sighed and said, “I suspect that Mr. Philand is making things difficult for He Zhiqiu. Could it be that he thinks that He Zhiqiu is old and doesn’t want him to occupy the resources of our continent, so he deliberately made things difficult for him?” The black-hearted boss couldn’t help but slander Philand.
Mr. Zhang shook his head and said, “Philand isn’t that kind of person. If he was really that kind of person, he wouldn’t have become the manager of the town.”
The town manager personally chosen by the Space Administration would never do such a thing.
The black-hearted boss sighed and said, “Sigh, I hope I can send him away before I change shifts this year.” The old man was already old. It wasn’t easy for him to stay in the mountains and plant spiritual herbs all day long.
“Hey, by the way, Mr. Zhang, I heard that a beautiful woman came to your base. Is she really beautiful?” The black-hearted boss was referring to Yu Huang.
Mr. Zhang frowned and said, “It’s none of your business.”
He wiped his fingers on his apron and said, “She’s already married. Don’t think about her.”
“Huh? She’s already married?” The black-hearted boss said bitterly, “I’ve asked around. She seems to be very young. She’s not even 30 years old, right? She’s so young, so how can she be married already?” The black-hearted boss was still planning to get married to that little beauty.
Mr. Zhang sneered and said, “If she meets someone like you, she will naturally want to be single for the rest of her life. If she meets a handsome, talented, and considerate person, it’s understandable for her to want to get married.” Mr. Zhang was indirectly insulting the black-hearted boss for being ugly.
“Don’t think that I can’t tell that you’re insulting me!” The black-hearted boss rolled up his sleeves and was about to fight with Mr. Zhang.
At this moment, a female voice suddenly interrupted the conversation between the black-hearted boss and Mr. Zhang—
“I heard that this year, eight ascenders from a peripheral world called the Holy Spirit Continent appeared in a single day. One of them even obtained an S-rank identity card. This is very rare.”
Hearing this, Mr. Zhang and the others turned to look at the woman standing against the dining table diagonally behind them.
It was a woman in black jeans and a tight top that revealed her sexy waist. She had a bald head and was covered in tattoos.
Her name was Zhou Yue, and she was the owner of the boxing arena.
