Fantasy: The Clan Chief Lies Down, His House Is Full of Emperors

Chapter 567 Xu Chu, Part 3: Challenging the Chief Winemaker

Actually, Xu Chu himself was not entirely satisfied; he felt he should have at least gotten into the top three.

This would increase the chances of making it into the top three in terms of total score.

To get into the top ten now, we need to get a higher score for the next spirit wine.

Manager Qiu felt that his results were both reasonable and unexpected.

Because Manager Qiu understood Xu Chu's talent for brewing, he was very confident in his future achievements.

However, Manager Qiu underestimated Xu Chu's talent and how much importance he attached to this assessment.

"It seems I underestimated Xu Chu. After this assessment, he will most likely be able to go to a better continent."

After the Hundred Flowers Wine was rated, it was time for the tasting and rating of Remembering Life.

The winemakers present were all a little nervous, after all, this rating would determine their working environment and treatment for the next fifty years.

They all hoped to get higher scores so they could be assigned to a state with more resources.

"Remembering My Life" is the signature wine of Wangyuelou.

Its most distinctive feature is that it allows drinkers to savor the various aspects of life after drinking it, and there is even a chance that they will enter a state of enlightenment.

The eleven examiners on the stage all closed their eyes, carefully appreciating the works of each winemaker.

After each tasting, they would rinse their mouths with water so as not to affect the next tasting.

"Yuanzhou, ninety-two, eighty-nine..."

"Central Continent, eighty-eight, eighty-seven..."

As the scores were read out one by one, the atmosphere in the hall gradually became more tense, and even the sound of breathing became much quieter.

"Qingzhou, ninety-two, ninety-three, ninety-one..."

Although Xu Chu cared about the score, he remained quite calm and breathed a slight sigh of relief after learning his score.

I thought to myself.

"Among the top 30 people, my score is not only the highest, but also far surpasses the second place. Even if there are high scores later, I should still be able to make it into the top three."

About half an hour later, the examiners had finished tasting and scoring the "Remembering My Life" brewed by the seventy-seven people.

Someone was taking notes the whole time, and then the final results were announced.

Mr. Qian took the bamboo slips recording the results and glanced at them briefly.

"The final results of this assessment are in. The first place is..."

Mr. Qian would read out the names one by one, starting from the first place, and he did this for every assessment.

While this may make some winemakers with low ratings feel ashamed, it can also motivate them to improve and strive for better results.

"Third place, Xu Chu from Qingzhou."

Old Qian paused slightly, glanced at Xu Chu below, his eyes showing some surprise, but more so astonishment and certainty.

Not only him, but also the owner of Wangyue Tower and Old Li were the same.

They had participated in countless brewer assessments, and they remembered most of the brewers.

Therefore, it is immediately known that a new brewer joins Wangyuelou and achieves a good ranking.

They had no recollection of the name Xu Chu, which meant that he had only entered Wangyue Tower in the last fifty years.

A newly recruited brewer at Wangyuelou managed to get third place in his first assessment.

Clearly, this winemaker possesses exceptional winemaking talent.

They were even more relieved when they discovered that the person was still very young.

Everyone understands that a powerful force needs not only the foundation laid by the older generation, but also a constant stream of new generations to ensure stable and long-term development.

Therefore, they would naturally be secretly delighted when a winemaker like Xu Chu appeared.

The brewers and managers in the audience looked at each other in bewilderment when they heard the unfamiliar name Xu Chu.

"Xu Chu? Who's that? I've never heard of him."

"They must be newcomers who joined in recent years."

"It's impressive that a newcomer can achieve such results."

This puts immense pressure on winemakers, especially some veteran winemakers, who even feel a little ashamed.

After all, he had been at Wangyue Tower for so many years and had participated in the assessments several times, but the best ranking he got was not as good as that of a newcomer, which was a bit embarrassing.

Of all the people present, Manager Qiu knew Xu Chu best, but at this moment, he felt just like everyone else, finding Xu Chu to be a complete stranger.

Every time Xu Chu brewed wine, Manager Qiu would think that he had underestimated Xu Chu again.

Xu Chu was among a group of brewers, but no one recognized him, so they didn't know that he was the dark horse newcomer who had emerged from this assessment.

There are no direct rewards for the winemaker assessment at Wangyuelou.

However, the biggest reward is that the brewers are assigned to different continents based on their final ranking in the assessment.

After all, there is a huge difference between the wealthy and powerful continents of Tianyuan Realm and the poor and weak continents in all aspects.

Therefore, the benefits and treatment one can enjoy while working on different continents vary greatly, and the cumulative effect over fifty years is particularly considerable.

Besides this, there is a hidden project after the assessment.

Chief brewer, Master Li, said with a smile, "According to the rules of our Wangyue Pavilion, the top three brewers in the brewing assessment can challenge me."

"The winner can replace me and become the chief brewer of Wangyue Tower. I wonder if the three of you have this idea?"

His gaze swept over the three of them.

The other two quickly bowed to each other, one after the other.

"Elder Li's expertise in winemaking is unmatched in the entire Tianyuan Realm. I am ashamed to admit my inferiority."

"Yes, we still have a lot to learn from Mr. Li."

Li Lao has been the chief winemaker of Wangyuelou for six hundred years.

In the last four hundred years, no winemaker has challenged Master Li, and many winemakers are even his disciples and grand-disciples.

Mr. Li's expertise in winemaking is indeed unmatched by anyone else.

Therefore, after each assessment, it has become a fixed routine for Old Li to ask this question, and the top three in the assessment would give a flattering reply. It's just a formality.

But this time was different. After the two finished speaking, Xu Chu, who was ranked third, cupped his hands and said loudly.

"I, Xu, am unworthy, yet I dare to challenge Elder Li."
