Chapter 10 Huh, want to default?!

After riding in the Ost-like Dragon Car, Zhao Qiankun came to the Adventurer Guild with the staff and went upstairs. Nangong Li had already been waiting for it. Next to him was a young man in a guild uniform, with a handsome appearance and extraordinary demeanor.

Seeing Zhao Qiankun coming, Nangong Li hurriedly stood up and introduced: "Mr. Zhao, this is the special envoy sent by Nangongcheng, and also my cousin, Nangong Yu. Nangong Yu, this is the warrior who climbed to the top of the World Tree and picked the fruits, Zhao Qiankun!"

"Good luck!" Nangong Yu stood up and nodded to Zhao Qiankun. Although he said "Good luck luck", Old Zhao saw a hint of arrogance on his face.

After all, he is from the Nangong family. In the area controlled by the Adventurer Guild, he is just a royal family. It is normal to be a little arrogant, so Lao Zhao didn't take it to heart. Instead, because he was about to get the shares, he was in a good mood and praised him politely:

"Oh, the Nangong family is indeed so young and talented! I know Nangong Yu, Nangong Qiong, and Nangong Li, all of whom are the best among young people. The Nangong family has many talents. No wonder they can manage the Adventurers Guild so well!"

The flattery was slapped, but Nangong Yu didn't react much when he heard it. He just said slowly: "I am different from several brothers and sisters. I am not proficient in martial arts and are mainly responsible for legal affairs in the family. This equity transfer is mainly my responsibility."

"It's amazing to understand the law!" Zhao Qiankun smiled and said, "Okay, I want to accept the shares. Do I need to go through any procedures?"

"About this..." Nangong Yu pondered for a moment: "I still have some things to confirm with you!"

Zhao Qiankun heard that this was wrong and frowned: "Please say it!"

Nangong Yu nodded: "According to the requirements of the golden mission, adventurers need to climb to the top of the World Tree and pick the complete World Tree fruits to be considered as completing the mission... I think you should have read the details of the mission carefully, right?"

Zhao Qiankun had never seen it. He was too lazy to read it when he saw the thick one. He heard Murong Wei say that he had never seen it at this time, so he could only nod and nodded: "Yes!"

Nangong Yu nodded: "Since Mr. Zhao has carefully read the details of the task book, he must have agreed with the content and performed the tasks according to the rules. What he got back was a complete task item... However, after checking the fruit of the World Tree, we found that this fruit was not complete!"

Zhao Qiankun raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "You mean the bite I bite? Oh, you know, it was a fierce battle at the top of the World Tree. I fought with the last monster in a dark way. Although I narrowly won with one move, I was seriously injured... So, I used the last strength to chew a few bites of the World Tree fruit, otherwise I would have lost the strength to come back... Isn't this worth understanding! Besides, your mission rewards still contain one-tenth of the fruit? I'll pre-prove it a little in advance, there's nothing wrong with it!"

"I'm not referring to this..." Nangong Yu shook his head: "The defect of the flesh is not serious, it is within the acceptable range. What we really care about is something more core!"

As he said that, the selfless legal consultant opened a thick file folder, including magic photos taken by the Nangong family for the World Tree Fruit, as well as various hand-painted sections.

Nangong Yu raised his hand and pointed to these pictures, compared with Qiankun and said: "The fruit of the World Tree we have is only the flesh, which is empty inside. The most important core, that is, the seed, is gone!"

After saying that, Nangong Yu looked at Zhao Qiankun, but found that this guy's face was still unchanged, as if he had nothing to do with him.

"Don't you want to explain it?" Nangong Yu asked, "From the appearance of the fruit, the fruit core was poached by people. In the world, you only came into contact with the World Tree fruit before the Adventurer Guild, so the only possibility is that you poached the fruit core! Mr. Zhao, is my inference reasonable, right?"

"It's very reasonable!" Zhao Qiankun nodded with a smile: "But I have another more reasonable explanation. Do you want to hear it?"

"Listen attentively!" Nangong Yu straightened up, picked up the teacup and waited for Zhao Qiankun's words.

"Actually, I have indeed seen the fruit core of the World Tree!" Zhao Qiankun said frankly: "And not only have I seen it, I have also beaten it!"

"Hit?" Nangong Yu frowned.

"That's right!" Zhao Qiankun grinned: "Actually, the fruit core of the World Tree is not an ordinary fruit core. It is also the owner of the ninth level of the World Tree, which is the soul of the entire World Tree. In other words, the final monster I fought on the top of the tree in the end was the fruit core you were looking forward to!"

"You mean... the fruit core is alive and still fighting with you?" This answer made Nangong Yu spray out the tea he had just drunk.

"Yes, it's hard to imagine?" Zhao Qiankun was not a lie. The last world tree spirit was indeed transformed from the fruit core. However, after Lao Zhao killed him, he took the seeds inside for himself... Of course, this cannot be said.

"Even so, there should be corpses..." Nangong Yu still refused to give up: "You should at least keep the corpse of the core, which is also of research value..."

"Not that easy!" Zhao Qiankun shrugged: "Anyway, the situation at that time was whether he died or I died, so I could only kill it..."

"Not left at all?"

"Nothing left at all!" Old Zhao looked like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water: "If you don't believe it, go to the ninth floor to look for it?"

"I can't get up..." Nangong Yu was still very self-aware of his own tricks: "But the Nangong Zong family will send special forces to the ninth floor of the World Tree to verify. Until then, your reward may not be rewarded for the time being."

"I finally got to the point... I just want to give money to it in a blunt way!" Zhao Qiankun laughed: "Actually, I don't have to ask for money. Even if I don't have any golden missions like yours, I will definitely climb up to see what's going on! But, you have to release this mission and then promise such a good reward, so I won't want it in vain!"

As he said that, Zhao Qiankun smiled and looked forward: "You said you don't give it to me now, it's probably not that simple!"

Zhao Qiankun's smile made Nangong Yu feel cold on his spine and sweating on his forehead. Nangong Li, who was beside him, hurriedly said: "Mr. Zhao, calm down. Our Nangong family promised a reward, but now we need some confirmation procedures... Please be careful not to be impatient..."

Zhao Qiankun turned to look at the capable female city lord. Nangong Li couldn't help but tremble.

"Then, how long will you confirm?"

"This..." Nangong Li complained in his heart. He thought Nangong Yu was here to hand over the shares, but he didn't expect that such a big problem would be raised as soon as he came. If Zhao Qiankun was angered... She remembered what the old man Wuji said, and couldn't help but feel chills in her heart.

"You have worked hard for more than ten years... It seems that you have only climbed to the third floor?" Zhao Qiankun answered for Nangong Li: "The world tree is more difficult than the next. Just relying on the ability of you three-legged cats, you have to climb to the ninth floor to confirm my results? Haha... You want me to die of old age, and then you don't have to give shares, right?"

"No!" Nangong Li hurriedly retorted: "After you conquered the World Tree, it has become much weaker. The special forces of the Nangong Zong family are also the most elite. You can confirm it soon... Besides, if you are anxious, you can also take them up..."

"I am an adventurer who completes the mission!" Zhao Qiankun glared: "It's not the one who leads the way! I have given you what you want, but you promised to repent. This is how the Adventurers Guild, which has been famous for a hundred years, works?"

"The Adventurer Guild never regrets it!" Nangong Yu insisted: "I said that we need to confirm your results... Of course, if you feel that you can't wait, we can also pay 10 million gold coins in one lump sum as compensation for shares. The gold coins can be issued by the Nangong family, or they can be exchanged for you to the official currency of any country..."

"Wow!" Zhao Qiankun laughed: "I finally said it. This is your purpose, right? I can't bear to leave the shares, I'm afraid that I will live long and spend more money, so I plan to buy it out with 10 million. I said brother... You didn't think about it, let alone I completed the task. Even if I didn't complete it, it was just that fruit, a piece of life element entity weighing dozens of tons, which is a priceless treasure, right? If I sell it to Yongyao Island, those old magicians may be so happy that they can fly into the sky. I'm afraid that the rewards they can give me are more than this!"

Zhao Qiankun is really not an exaggeration. If you want to ask who is the richest in the world, some people think it is the major chambers of commerce in West Carlo State, some people think it is the Nangong family that is in charge of the Adventurers Guild, and more people may think it is the Great Zhou royal family that mastered the world's largest empire...

However, in the circle of the masters of the extreme, it is recognized that the richest organization in the world should be the Magician Guild located on Yongyao Island!

Yongyao Island, located north of the winding sea and south of the polar continent, is a huge island with a shape that looks like a burning flame. There are more than one million permanent residents on the island. Among them, except for more than 20,000 formal magicians, the remaining millions are mostly entourages of magicians... It can be said that this is completely an island belonging to magicians.

Ten million gold coins are indeed a huge sum of money that can make ordinary people rich and wealthy. It is probably not easy to make Yongyao Island give out so much real money and silver at once. But what the mages of Yongyao Island really value are not those seemingly colorful but actually useless things. Their wealth lies in mastering the most core technology and the most powerful power in the world!

That's magic!

For ordinary people, money does have an irresistible attraction, but for the masters of the world, secular currency is just a bunch of numbers, enough.

For example, if you want to ask this martial arts supreme master to do something, do you think it will work if you take a large amount of gold ticket in front of him? This martial arts fanatic will probably just sneer and ask his disciples to send you away politely. If you annoy him, he will take the gold ticket, which will be harder than a treasure knife, and can directly cut off your head!

But what if on the contrary, you promised him a method that could become stronger, or give him a unique and powerful magic prop?

For the God of War, becoming stronger, even if it is only a little bit, is far more attractive than a pile of gold in front of you.

Therefore, Nangong Li believed in Zhao Qiankun's words. At his level, money no longer mattered. If he had known that the Nangong family had not trusted him, he would have chosen to hand over the fruit to Inos and bring it back to Yongyao Island for research. I believe that Yongyao Island will also give a consistent reward.

Maybe it is a magic secret book or a mysterious prop... If these things are circulated and placed in front of ordinary people, not to mention ten million, few people may buy them for 100,000... But in the eyes of experts, they are indeed truly priceless treasures.

However, Nangong Yu, who was born in the legal profession, obviously did not consider this level and continued to persuade: "I admit that 10 million gold coins are indeed not as good as a share of the Adventurers Guild. But this is the money that is in front of you. I don't think you have any reason to refuse..."

"Forget it, I can't understand the conversation with you!" Zhao Qiankun waved his hand, and was too lazy to blame the scholar who was powerless: "Since you want to regret it, please return the fruit to me!"

"I'm afraid this is impossible..." Nangong Yu shook his head and said, "The fruit has arrived in Nangong City and is being studied by our Nangong Family Master Club. The Nangong Family thanks for your cooperation, but there is no fruit with the core, it is just a strong mass of life energy. It may be very attractive to insects and beasts, but we are civilized humans. Although money is secular, it can make us feel like a fish in the civilized world... I think the price of 10 million is already fair!"

"What did you just say?" Zhao Qiankun frowned.

"I said... the fruit has arrived in Nangong City..."

"Not this sentence, next sentence!"

Nangong Yu didn't understand what Zhao Qiankun meant, but just said: "I took it but was just a ball of powerful life energy. It may be very attractive to insects and beasts..."

"By the way!!" Old Zhao slapped the table and slammed, scaring Nangong Li so much that he jumped up, but seeing that Zhao Qiankun had no follow-up actions, he didn't seem to want to move...

Seeing Zhao Qiankun laughing, he danced for a while, suddenly settled down and said to him: "I said Xiaoyu, I think the decision you made is not reasonable... I think it's okay to appeal, right?"

"This...of course..." Nangong Yu was also surprised and could only answer: "But your matter is involved in a lot. You may have to go to the headquarters of Nangongcheng..."
