Chapter 113 - Arrival of the Assessment
Sometimes, in an ascension realm, completing a mission required not only one’s own efforts but also the know-how on leveraging external resources.
Take the ascension realm Lu Ran and his group entered as an example. Even if Limitless City hadn’t initially assigned them the identity of apprentices in a tavern, they would still have needed to find a place to learn culinary arts under a mentor.
This principle applied to other missions as well. An ascension realm was much like a real world where every person had their own mind. Some beastmasters, who possessed a certain charm, could also rely on their appearance to align with stronger individuals, quickly accumulating their foundational strength.
The beauty of ascension realms laid in the high degree of freedom allowed. However, that being said, wasn’t Lu Ran also using his potential talent to lure in investors within the ascension realm?
“Alright, continue cutting,” said Manager Long, who had a good eye for talent.
After investing in him for over half a month, she was convinced her investment wouldn’t go to waste. But half a month later, this world would disappear, so nothing would really come of it.
“Alright,” Lu Ran responded, continuing his fruit-cutting duties.
As time ticked away, the lively banquet was nearing its end. The numerous guests, having enjoyed a feast and watched battles, could also refresh their minds with cooling fruits before and after their meals, making for a thoroughly satisfying day.
With the grand banquet celebrating Ning Chuan’s City Lord’s breakthrough at an end, the people of Frost Moon House also began to make their way back.
Following this small episode, there was now only a week left until the gourmet assessment hosted by the Gourmet Hunter Society.
With little time left to improve their culinary skills, Lu Ran and his companions put in extra effort, both to pass the test and to aim for better rewards. That evening, Lu Ran received a comic book from Manager Long.
