Practice Remembering You
Chapter 73: Being tricked and changing one's face
As soon as the old man spoke, Wu Mengjie very cleverly bowed to him and then went into the museum.
Jin Run subconsciously wanted to stand in front of Wu Mengjie, but before Wu Mengjie could do anything, the fat on Jin Run's body trembled violently.
The old man stared at Jin Run intently, and his pressure fell heavily on him: "Didn't you hear what I just said, little brat?"
"I heard it, I heard it." Jin Run dodged tremblingly.
Wu Mengjie glanced at the other person sarcastically, then ignored him and strode into the hall.
This made Jin Run so angry that his teeth itched and veins on his forehead bulged. However, the gatekeeper of the Contribution Hall was there, so he didn't dare to get angry anymore. He could only snort and leave.
Wu Mengjie entered the museum and looked back at Jin Run at the door. A hint of contempt appeared on the corner of his mouth. The other party was too stupid.
The main reason why he dared to argue with a guy who was obviously stronger than him in such a place was that he saw the gatekeeper of the Contribution Hall here.
With him around, there would be no chance of them fighting. As long as the gatekeeper spoke out to stop them, he would definitely go down the stairs first. This would definitely make the other party unhappy and might do something that would displease the gatekeeper.
Now it seems that Jin Run has hit all the marks.
Ignoring him, Wu Mengjie came in and went straight to the spell area, where there were ten altars, containing ten kinds of spells, five real and five imaginary.
There was a third-level leader here. When he saw Wu Mengjie coming in, he stepped forward and asked if he needed help.
Wu Mengjie had never received detailed guidance from a master, so he really didn't know what to choose, so he asked.
The person in charge said: "Generally speaking, you should choose spell attributes according to your own interests and hobbies. After all, only things that interest you will be studied carefully in the future.
However, there are exceptions to everything. There are people who don't care about any attributes, or who only pursue strength. For such people, they need to take a test to see which attribute their body is more compatible with. The more compatible the body is with a certain attribute, the stronger it will naturally be."
Wu Mengjie thought for a moment and said, "I want to test it."
"Do you want to test the real five elements or the imaginary five elements?"
"Which one should I practice first, the real five elements or the imaginary five elements?"
"There is no order of priority. You can learn which one first."
"Then let's test them all, and practice the one that is the strongest."
The person in charge showed a happy expression on his face: "Okay, let's test them all."
Then Wu Mengjie was taken to the side. There were ten crystal balls here. The colors of the crystal balls were different, and they should correspond to the corresponding attributes.
"Just inject your true energy into it, and your affinity for each attribute will appear on the crystal ball."
So Wu Mengjie stepped forward and input his true energy into them one by one.
The crystal ball lit up with colorful lights, some big and some small, but in fact the difference didn't seem that big.
The person in charge took a look and pointed at the metallic crystal: "From what I can see now, your body is most compatible with metallic elements."
Wu Mengjie nodded: "Then let's start with the Metal Control Technique."
As he was about to walk towards Yu Jin Shu, the person in charge stopped Wu Mengjie first.
"But is there any other problem?" Wu Mengjie was a little confused. He didn't sense any malice from the other party, so he shouldn't be looking for trouble.
The person in charge smiled at Wu Mengjie and said, "Before you go to redeem the spell, please settle the test fee first."
"Ah?" Wu Mengjie was a little confused: "Um... isn't the test free?"
"Of course it's not free, but it's at least a way to activate the equipment."
Although Wu Mengjie was a little unhappy and felt that he was being cheated, he didn't care too much. At the beginning, the fox demon exchanged for 22 contribution points, and now he had 52 points. Fifty points would be enough for him. He thought that a test would not require more than two contribution points.
So I asked: "How many contribution points are needed?"
"It's not much, just fifteen is enough."
"How much?!" When Wu Mengjie heard the number, his eyes widened and he couldn't help but raise his voice.
"Fifteen o'clock," the person in charge repeated calmly.
"Are you crazy? Fifteen contribution points for just a test? Why don't you just go and rob?" Wu Mengjie felt it was unreasonable. This was too outrageous. Fifteen contribution points, how much could you buy? You have to know that every contribution point is very precious.
The person in charge spread his hands and said, "Brother, you don't have to react so strongly or get angry with me. I didn't set the price. It was set by the higher-ups. I can't do anything about it."
"Which authority set the price? I don't believe that such an outrageous price would be set. Where is it written?"
"Of course it's here." The person in charge said, and took Wu Mengjie to the previous location. Only then did they discover that there was a stone slab placed at an angle here, and there was indeed such an outrageous price engraved on it.
However, the person in charge had deliberately blocked the stone slab behind him, so Wu Mengjie didn't see it at all.
"You..." Wu Mengjie was a little annoyed: "This price, shouldn't you tell me the price before I do it?"
"The price is clearly written on the slate, right here, and you haven't asked me yet, so I thought you saw it. If I remind you at this time, won't you think I'm humiliating you?"
"You clearly blocked this place just now, deliberately preventing me from seeing it!" Wu Mengjie's face looked very unfriendly.
The person in charge waved his hand and said, "Brother, I just said that you don't have to be so angry with me. I am also following the rules and regulations. Don't make things difficult for me.
After you pay these contribution points, none of them will end up in my hands. They will all be taken by those above. To put it simply, those above are deliberately trying to trick us.
If you don't pay, I don't mind. I will definitely not have any conflict with you. I am doing this commission to earn those two and a half contribution points, so I won't risk my life for it.
It's just that because of my job, I have to report this situation, you should understand."
Wu Mengjie's anger seemed to be choked. He wanted to get angry, but couldn't.
"How could the higher-ups do such a thing?!" Wu Mengjie asked through gritting his teeth.
The person in charge came close to Wu Mengjie and whispered, "The people at the top I'm talking about definitely don't mean the very top. The people at the very top definitely wouldn't do such a thing. I'm talking about the people in the middle, the adults who are responsible for managing all the contribution halls in the city.
They are different from the adults at the top. Although they are not short of resources, they still have to earn and buy many special things by themselves, which means they still need contribution points. Legal robbery, understand?"
Wu Mengjie was really too conflicted at this time. Should he appeal? That was impossible. Wu Mengjie was not a fool. He would not be unaware of the ins and outs of the matter. If he appealed, he would probably disappear from the face of the earth.
But now is the time when I need spells. Should I spend a year or so to slowly accumulate them? Or should I take on a few dangerous missions?
In fact, he doesn't want either of them. One takes too long and Wu Mengjie doesn't want to waste time.
The second one is too dangerous. Although Wu Mengjie is not afraid of danger, it does not mean that he is the kind of fool who rushes into danger when there is no need to take any risk.
The person in charge looked at Wu Mengjie's tangled expression and shook his head helplessly: "Little brother, listen to my advice, just pay the contribution points as soon as possible. After thinking about it, you still have to pay it in the end. It's better to pay it early and then go out to accumulate contribution points again.
Five hundred points, that would take almost a hundred years, that's all good, are there still fifteen points left?"
Wu Mengjie smiled bitterly: "I don't have 500 saved."
The person in charge was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then his whole spirit changed. When he looked at Wu Mengjie, his expression changed: "You...are you not yet thirty years old?"
Wu Mengjie nodded.
The person in charge thought for a moment, then reached out to shake Wu Mengjie's hand: "Nice to meet you. My name is Ye Jianghe. May I know your name, little brother?"
Wu Mengjie was a little surprised by the other party's sudden change. He held the other party's outstretched hand and said, "It's far from a formal name. My surname is Wu and my name is Mengjie."
"Brother Wu." Ye Jianghe said with a smile: "When I first saw Brother Wu, I felt that he had an extraordinary demeanor, a rare talent among the dragons and phoenixes!"
