"When I originally heard that the Arcane Tower was within the Mage Tower, I was somewhat desperate and figured this mission would most likely fail. Little did I know, the adjudicator turned out to be a Legendary Master, leading us to a turnaround! And then there’s Pisces..."
As Libra spoke, he suddenly remembered something. He turned his gaze to Lin Xue and hesitated before asking, "Was that ’Red Sickle Girl’... Pisces?"
As soon as everyone heard this, they all immediately looked in Lin Xue’s direction.
The reason they guessed that the girl who had fought alongside Mu You that day was Pisces, was because everyone had seen images of the previous generation sorcerers when they inherited the crystal.
The characteristics of Pisces were the most evident: red clothes and a sickle, which coincided seamlessly with the mysterious girl on the battlefield.
"Yes." Facing everyone’s questioning gaze, Lin Xue directly nodded. This was easy to guess, there was no need to pad around it.
"Wow, impressive!" Leo exclaimed generously.
"There really are some hidden talents in our guild..."
The others were genuinely astounded.
It was understandable if they thought that Aries the Boss appeared in the capacity of a Legendary Master, considering that he was usually depicted as a distinguished figure, everyone was prepared.
However, Pisces had always been low-profile, barely noticeable in previous meetings, and many people subconsciously ignored her. New members such as Aquarius automatically assumed that Pisces, like them, was a novice.
As a result, this low-profile girl turned out to be a Legendary Master, which greatly surpassed everyone’s expectations.
After finishing speaking, Lin Xue closed her mouth and didn’t speak any further. Seeing that she didn’t want to expand, everyone respectfully refrained from asking any more questions and started exchanging their previous gains.
"During the final settlement, my output ranked ninth and I got an Avatar Card and a piece of epic gear. How about you guys?" Scorpio reported his gains and turned to the others.
"I’m tenth, I also have the same equipment and an Avatar card!" Aquarius said cheerfully.
The two of them were the weakest on the field. Given their original abilities, they wouldn’t have been able to make much of an impact in this battle, even making it into the top 500 would be tough.
However, after supporting the Reaper’s Pact, their abilities dramatically increased with the assistance of the higher-level members, and they were able to enter the top ten and receive the top-tier rewards.
"We all should have received the equipment rewards, and for the Avatar cards, out of the twelve of us, at least ten should have received one, right? Oh Aries the Boss, my avatar ID is ’July’s Tail’, I’ll add you later!" Leo said.
Mu You nodded his head.
Leo made one wrong assumption. That was, the number of people who participated in the rewards distribution that day was not twelve, but ten, because you had to exclude Taurus, who did not belong to the Fools, and Gemini, who was occupied by his avatar.
Therefore, the ten Avatar Cards were just enough for each of the ten to have one.
"Anyway, I should thank everyone for their support last week."
Mu You took out the ten life cards that he had prepared from his ring and distributed them to everyone through the pattern in front of him.
"Each of these cards contains 150 years of lifespan. They were obtained during the fight that day. Each of you gets one, it’s to compensate for the lifespan consumption of the Reaper’s Pact."
"Ah, I couldn’t possibly take this..."
"With your help Aries the Boss, the rewards we’ve received far exceed our expectations!"
"Absolutely, the lifespan distributed by hitting the tower alone is enough to compensate the Reaper’s Pact’s consumption, not to mention the epic equipment reward. It wouldn’t be proper to receive more lifespan..."
Whether sincere or just politeness, everyone expressed their refusal.
"Hehe, you guys should take it. These are the spoils you’ve earned with your strength. Besides, we should set a standard for the ’Reaper’s Pact.’ As a long-range support method within the guild, everyone might need to use it in the future. We can’t always let the members suffer a loss, can we?" said Mu You.
When everyone heard this, they all agreed.
They had all seen the effect of the Reaper’s Pact. In the future, when facing danger or in need of strength, everyone could borrow the strength of other guild members to instantly double or even triple their combat power.
If such a method was to become a standard procedure, then they would need to ensure the compensation standard. At the very least, the people who helped shouldn’t be at a loss. Otherwise, who would be willing to help in the long run?
Thinking of this, everyone stopped declining and accepted the life cards.
However, just when the atmosphere was harmonious, a high-decibel scream suddenly echoed.
The lively scene abruptly fell silent and everyone simultaneously looked towards the source of the sound.
The sound came from Taurus’s location, but of course, it was not Taurus herself but her tablet.
Mu You, who was standing next to her, could see clearly that the movie "Sadako" had started playing on the tablet, and the scream just now was the female protagonist’s shriek from the film.
Mu You didn’t have time to arrange for any translations for the film. It simply had normal Chinese subtitles. But seeing as Taurus was engrossed in the film, he thought she must have some way of understanding...
"You... might want to use headphones..."
Mu You didn’t say anything about ’focusing on the meeting’ or anything, merely suggesting that she uses headphones.
They were all excitedly discussing in Earth language, Mu You guessed Taurus clearly didn’t understand. Even if she could, she probably wouldn’t be interested.
