Chapter 163 Neglected Intelligence (Seeking monthly votes at the beginning of the month!)
Lu Hao, who was recovering from his injuries, suddenly heard a loud shout.
"So what if I'm a sixth-rank official? Today I, a third-rank official, dare to fight you. When I become a fourth-rank official, I will surely kill you!"
That's Fang Ping's voice, right? Lu Hao recognized Fang Ping's voice immediately. As for what he was saying, it was nothing more than some achievements or something else, which Lu Hao didn't care about.
It seems Fang Ping has returned safely, so the situation hasn't changed much. Now, let's talk about the sacrifices of the former principals...
Lu Hao thought of the grandmasters who fought to the death in this battle in the original story, and he didn't have any good ideas. Could he go and persuade them?
But their deaths were inevitable. After all, they had no way to defeat the grandmaster on the other side, and they came down here to fight to the death, to exchange one for one, and they were not afraid of death at all.
Strength, it all comes down to strength. If I had the strength of a Grandmaster, I could at least hold off a few, if not kill them, and reduce casualties. But now, because Fang Ping also had important information, Tang Feng took him to the command room.
Seeing Lü Fengrou and Huang Jing here put his mind at ease.
When Lü Fengrou saw Fang Ping return, she frowned and said, "Are you stupid? I told you to be careful and not to get tricked, why did you leave the team alone?"
Fang Ping was taken aback for a moment, then stammered, "I was upset that the big lion slandered me, insisting that I was afraid to fight, so I left the team alone to prove that I wasn't like what he said, and that he was slandering me!"
Lu Fengrou frowned and said, "You fell for such a simple provocation?"
"Teacher, it's come to this point, and as a man, I really can't stand it—I don't care, but what about you?"
Do you want your students to be seen as cowards?
Lü Fengrou scoffed, "I don't care. Besides, they say you lack a sense of direction. What's that about?"
"That's not true."
Fang Ping shook his head and said, "I was just joking with them. Otherwise, how could I have traveled a hundred miles and broken through from the outside?"
Teacher, this time I killed so many powerful figures and brought back important intelligence, but I lost countless energy stones and high-grade weapons in the process—"
"Intelligence? Speak up, everyone here is trustworthy." Lü Fengrou didn't care about Fang Ping's stubbornness anymore. As for getting lost or something, there was probably still some chance.
"Dongkui City has mobilized its troops, and a large army is pressing in from the east, attacking Hope City from the east—I risked my life, traversing the Cunning King's Forest twice, to obtain this intelligence—"
Fang Ping hurriedly said.
"So this is what you mean by having a good sense of direction? I bet you got lost twice before you had no choice but to cross the Cunning King Forest," Lü Fengrou said to Fang Ping with a teasing look.
"No, what time is it now? Teacher, please stop worrying about my sense of direction. The most important thing now is for Dongkui to send troops and for the two cities to unite. This is true, I'm not lying," Fang Ping hurriedly said. He was afraid that the teachers would not trust him, and then all his hard work to come back and deliver the intelligence would be for nothing.
"We have no doubts about you. We already know about the alliance between the two cities. Lu Hao and his team brought back this information when they returned earlier."
Seeing Fang Ping jumping up and down anxiously, Lü Fengrou said...
"Huh? Lu Hao and his team brought back this information too?" Fang Ping was dumbfounded. So Lu Hao and his team had also obtained this information.
Yes, they went down into the underground caves even earlier than us, so they must have received this news as well. Plus, their combat strength is enough to get them back.
He should have stayed in the Crooked King's Forest and waited for the war to end.
Fang Ping looked sad as he thought of the weapons he had discarded, which probably amounted to tens of millions of dollars.
My tens of millions!
"Teacher, I lost nearly tens of millions of spoils of war while trying to return with this message. I deserve some credit for my hard work, even if I didn't achieve great things. Shouldn't you give me some compensation or reward? After all, we can't let a hero feel disheartened!"
Fang Pingcha said with a long face.
As he spoke, Fang Ping added, "Teacher, I'm dying. Aside from giving me a life-restoring pill, they haven't done anything else. Is this how they treat a meritorious person?"
Huang Jing had a headache and said helplessly, "Tell me what you need. A major battle is imminent, and resources are urgently needed."
It's not that we're mistreating you, it's just that we really can't allocate a large number of resources at the moment.
"Replace my two weapons with a B-grade longsword!"
Huang Jing frowned. This is outrageous!
Two C-grade weapons weigh 40 credits per kilogram. The longsword and spear that Fang Ping brought back, even if recycled at the original price, would weigh around 25 kilograms, at most 1000 credits.
This is still buyback at the original price!
Now he wants to switch to a B-grade weapon. What does that mean?
Below the Grandmaster level, including Lü Fengrou, everyone is currently using B-grade weapons. B-grade alloy is worth 100 credits per kilogram.
Fang Ping's current weapon weighs at least 20 kilograms, which instantly translates to 2000 credits!
Fang Ping complained, "I didn't mean to ask for an exorbitant amount, but I lost all my weapons and energy stones while trying to send back the intelligence."
It's much more than just a weapon. I'm not taking it for free; I'm handing over both captured weapons.
Is it wrong to switch to a more suitable weapon?
"You don't need Grade B, it's a waste."
"I'm about to reach the fourth rank!"
Huang Jing had a headache, but nodded and said, "Okay."
"besides."
"besides?"
Fang Ping looked at Huang Jing and said helplessly, "Teacher, my injuries are so severe, and I have used up a lot of pills. Do you know how many times I have faced death on this journey?"
You said if I hid in the back and didn't come back—
Huang Jing continued, "Alright, what else do you want?"
"I don't need much, just give me two Life-Returning Pills and 2000 credits."
Huang Jing pondered for a moment, then said, "Only the Life-Returning Pill is available, worth 500 credits. After all, this isn't firsthand information."
"Okay," Fang Ping originally didn't plan that much, but he made a huge demand first. Fang Ping said it lightly, but is that wrong?
The B-grade longsword cost at least 1000 more credits. Adding the current 2000 credits and two Life-Returning Pills, it's now worth 3400 credits, worth over 100 million.
Whether the intelligence Fang Ping sent back was worthwhile is up to individual judgment. After all, Lu Hao and his team had already sent the intelligence back, and even without Fang Ping, they would have already known the information. However, in the eyes of many, such an effort should not be rewarded.
However, martial artists are quite pragmatic, and everyone needs cultivation resources, which Huang Jing can understand.
"Then take good care of your injuries. You should go back to Magic Martial Arts University tonight."
"Back to Magic Martial Arts Academy?"
Fang Ping was stunned for a moment. "You're letting me go back like this?"
"Then what about them?"
"Others must participate in the defense."
Fang Ping thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'm not going back. If I go back now, everyone will think I'm running away."
Dean, could you give me the credits first?
I also want to get my hands on the elixirs and weapons as soon as possible to restore my fighting strength.
"Okay, just be more careful next time and don't be so reckless," Huang Jing said. As for Fang Ping's problem of getting lost, he believed it; after all, no one would go to Dongkui City for no reason.
Now that he has rendered meritorious service, let's go by Fang Ping's explanation that he was the one who discovered something was wrong and went to investigate.
