71 Elite Team
“I heard that you got someone who was born with three characteristics, and even has the Purification characteristic. Her healing effect is probably better than mine.”
“Lingling? Sure.”
Clunell looked at Ivan with a serious expression. “But what is Mendez going to do? Has he restarted the forbidden experiment?”
Ivan said, “I’ll investigate. I think the reason why the leader of the Holy Light, Sean, agreed to my request so easily and went to the Dark Forest is also related to him.”
“What are you going to do?”
“I’ll report this to General Vincent first. I should be able to clear out everyone in the Dark Forest.” Ivan smiled. “Aren’t you living here in seclusion?”
“People are always coming for me.”
Clunell left the bed and sat in a chair by the wall. He looked up at the wall, where a large map hung.
He raised his staff and knocked on a place filled with small triangles.
On it were the words: Gawby Heights.
…
“Elsa says there’s still no news.”
Fang Ping watched as Qing Niao returned from outside. This was the fourth time he had gone to look for Elsa in the past two days.
“Let’s cultivate first. Elsa will probably tell us if there’s any news.”
Qing Niao sat on the bed dejectedly.
“I really hope nothing happens to Andre. Andre has always taken good care of me. He has also always encouraged me. Every day, after running, he will give me special training in actual combat. It’s all because of him that I can enter the Elite team and have Excellent Awakening Stones and infinite energy fragments.”
Looking at the depressed Qing Niao, Fang Ping advised, “No matter what, you still have to work hard. You still owe me eighty silver coins. You have to work hard to cultivate and earn money to pay me back, okay?”
“Uh, okay.”
Qing Niao finally closed its eyes to cultivate. Fang Ping continued to accumulate energy.
After an unknown period of time, there was a commotion outside the door. After a while, there was a knock on Fang Ping and the others’ door.
Qing Niao jumped off the bed and ran to open the door. Fang Ping poked his head out to take a look. It was indeed Teacher Su Xiaoya.
“There’s news of Andre. Ivan asked me to tell you that he has entered a negative state and has returned to the Silver Heron team. He can be cured.”
“That’s great!”
Fang Ping did not see Qing Niao’s expression, but he must be very happy.
“There’s one more thing. The Dark Forest is now sealed and forbidden to enter. After everyone comes out, our Elite team will have new arrangements. We’ll wait for the specifics.”
“Okay.”
After Elsa left, Qing Niao closed the door and walked back happily with a smile.
“That’s great. Andre is indeed fine.”
“Yeah.”
Fang Ping nodded. He just felt that it was a little strange. If it was really just a negative state, wouldn’t it be fine to purify it? Going to the treatment center was just a matter of paying some money.
Perhaps Andre’s situation was special.
Also, did the second thing Elsa said have anything to do with Andre’s strange reaction?
Who knew? This was not something Fang Ping could meddle in. He should continue cultivating.
After two days of cultivation, Fang Ping’s energy had already exceeded 900. Now, he could clearly feel the speed of the surrounding light spots slowing down.
Basically, it no longer flowed toward Fang Ping automatically. Even if he stared at them with his attention, it swayed. Only one pill would enter after a long time.
Did the osmotic pressure decrease?
In any case, his cultivation efficiency had decreased. There was nothing else to do here. Fang Ping regretted not bringing a few books over to read.
Fortunately, the speed at which the characteristic charged did not slow down.
Since the accumulation of energy was so slow, Fang Ping gave up and chose to read up about skills.
Normal-level Life Blessing’s limit was an increase of 30 health points. Fang Ping had used a measuring rod to measure it. Now, it could already increase by 25 or 26 points. He did not know if he could upgrade his skills when he reached 30.
Fang Ping could still accept using Life Blessing for a long time and consuming seven points of energy each time.
On the second day, Fang Ping could clearly feel the number of people in York Town beginning to decrease.
As they ate downstairs, they could see many people cursing on the street.
“What’s going on? They sent us a mission and now they’ve sealed off the Dark Forest. We’re not allowed to enter.”
“That’s right. We specially came from Reagan City and walked for five days. Where did you come from?”
“We came from Frost City and walked for seven days. We wanted to come here to earn some money, but we were notified that we could not enter after killing a few ordinary Magical Beasts. What do you think we should do?”
“That’s all good. We only killed a few Elves and didn’t even earn back the money for medicine.
“Aren’t there many Gnomes and Trolls in your Frost City that you can kill? Why are you here?”
“Don’t mention it…”
Fang Ping ate a flatbread with Magical Beast meat. He listened to the voices outside the door. The two teams complained to each other outside the door and walked further and further away.
Originally, adventurers were encouraged to come to the Dark Forest. Now, they were forbidden to enter and were being chased away. No wonder they were upset.
Qing Niao sitting opposite said, “I wonder what our next mission is. We’ve been here for so long. I wonder how Ai Bev is doing.”
“Sigh, I want to go back too.”
Fang Ping swallowed the biscuit in his mouth and sighed. “There’s nothing to do here. I might as well go back to the team and listen to the language class and skill analysis class.
“Ivan even said that it’s an Elite Team. I think other than having more energy fragments, they’re not even as good as us staying in the Forbidden Spell class.”
He forked a piece of Magical Beast meat and put it in his mouth. He saw someone walk in from outside the door. Wearing a black cloak, he took the opportunity to sit beside Fang Ping.
He forked a piece of meat and put it in his mouth. “Unicorn beef. It tastes good.”
“Silver Dragon?”
He put down his fork and said, “Then you shouldn’t have joined the Elite team in the first place. Ivan’s philosophy is that literature is not as good as martial arts, and training is not as good as fighting.
“That’s why Ivan established this Elite team that only relied on combat selection.”
“Okay… You are, just back from the Dark Forest?”
“Yes, if I don’t come back soon, my energy will be less than a hundred. I plan to go to the alchemy laboratory tonight. Do you want to go with me?”
“Alright, Qing Niao, are you going?”
Qing Niao was still eating the flatbread and shook his head. “I won’t go. I’ll continue to accumulate energy.”
Chen Long stood up and picked up his backpack. “I’ll inform Elsa for you. Wait for me here.”
“Okay.”
Watching Chen Long walk upstairs, Fang Ping asked Qing Niao, “Qing Niao, what do you think of this Elite team?”
“I think it would be great if we could play Seven-Colored Chess.”
“What do you think of your usual morning classes?”
“Teacher is right, but it’s not much of an improvement in combat. Fang Ping, do you not want to be a soldier?”
Fang Ping nodded.
“No wonder you’re thinking so much. The Xiluo Continent is getting more and more chaotic. Strength is more important.”
“Yes, I know.”
Hearing Qing Niao’s words, Fang Ping finally understood the significance of the Elite team.
