Age of Heroes, 10-game winning streak

Glancing at the green-clad senior from Yuling Academy, he said calmly, "The transaction has already been completed. The money and goods have been exchanged. Why are you asking me to return it?"

He pointed to the counter nearby and said, "No refunds or exchanges after leaving the counter. Is the writing on it fake?"

People around also stopped and poked their heads out of the shops.

The office manager immediately changed his expression, smiling broadly, and said, "This isn't a request, it's a plea. Could you please return the copper bamboo shoots? I can compensate you for your losses. How about using 110 credits to buy them back?"

Bai Yu didn't bother to pay attention: "Since it's a request, I choose not to accept it. Please move aside!"

"One hundred and twenty credits?"

"..."

"One hundred and thirty? That's already high enough!" The person in charge kept shouting out the price. He said with a grim expression, "Human greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant!"

Bai Yu scratched his ear and said, "I won't sell it even if it's 200 credits. Are you trying to force me to buy it?"

He continued to emphasize the second sentence: "Get out of the way——!"

There is a hint of electronic music in the voice, and it contains a hint of thunder and lightning.

Many people around subconsciously covered their ears.

The person in charge also subconsciously took a step back, but a hand was holding down his shoulder.

Three young men in Danding College uniforms stood behind the person in charge.

The leader has a unique badge on his chest.

The person in charge looked back, his expression first happy, then startled, and he immediately stood up and stepped back: "Master Zhang, I..."

"I've heard." The young alchemist known as Master Zhang looked at Bai Yu and said calmly, "Can you part with it? I've already reserved this top-quality copper bamboo shoot a month in advance."

"All of you."

Bai Yu was shocked and said, "...stealing bamboo shoots?"

Chapter 290 Late Stage Road Rage

"Can you give me Zhang Tingshan some face?" The young third-grade alchemist clasped his fists arrogantly and said: "In the future, I can refine a fourth-grade or lower elixir for you for free..."

"No need." Bai Yu refused.

It’s just alchemy, who can’t do it?

He said, "I don't want to say it a fourth time. Please make way."

The crew-haired young man behind Danshi couldn't help but curse, "You stinky boy, you're so shameless, aren't you? Brother Zhang, let me teach him a lesson!"

"Idiot!" Zhang Tingshan cursed. "Did you even think before you started fighting in this situation?"

After a moment, he looked at Bai Yu again and continued, "I can buy it for 150 credits, which is already far more than its original value."

Bai Yu shook his head: "This is not a matter of money. I can use the copper shoots if I keep them."

Zhang Tingshan frowned: "That's a bit unreasonable of you to say that. I booked this in advance."

Bai Yu said clearly, "Although you said you had a reservation, there is actually no record of it in the Yuling Society, so it is reasonable for me to buy the copper bamboo shoots. This is something you should discuss with the Yuling Society."

The third-grade alchemist glanced at the person in charge, whose expression changed slightly. He then stamped his foot and cursed, "How can you be so unreasonable? I'm willing to pay a high price to buy it back, and you don't want to lie and distort the truth!"

Bai Yu took out his phone and shook it. "How about I just post this on the forum and let everyone comment on it? Or maybe I'll just ask the law enforcement department to come over and see what they'll decide?"

He didn't want to resort to violence unless necessary.

He had already made a big scene at the Formation Club yesterday and was already in the spotlight.

Even if we make another fuss today, it will do no good except making the other party lose face.

Since you can't achieve a win-win situation by winning twice, there's no need to waste your energy.

In Penglai Academy, one must follow the rules when doing things. This is not a place where Darwinism, where the strong prey on the weak, prevails. Although the rule is that the capable are promoted, rules must be followed in general situations that do not involve disputes.

Senior students cannot bully freshmen, and they cannot be too harsh even in competitions between peers.

There is only one exception, and that is the abyss.

If you enter the abyss, you will die at your own risk.

The shallow and middle layers are relatively safe, but entering the lower and deep layers will be uncontrolled.

If a conflict arose in this stall area, the law enforcement department would definitely call him over for questioning. Bai Yu was in the right, so he naturally responded without any hesitation.

Zhang Tingshan's face looked very ugly. He really needed the medicinal ingredient of purple copper bamboo shoots, and it was the best grade medicinal ingredient to refine a third grade elixir.

This matter concerns his Danshi assessment this year, so he doesn't plan to let it go, but he can't just rob it by force. The other party refuses to give in and refuses to be persuaded.

Just as the stalemate was happening, a person squeezed into the crowd of people watching the show.

"Make way, please." A young man wearing thick-rimmed glasses walked in. It was unclear what the situation was, but he looked like he was here to buy spiritual herbs. He squeezed through the crowd carelessly, and then suddenly his eyes stopped on a young man not far away. He pushed his glasses and rushed over immediately: "Shit, I finally found you, boss!"

Hua Yuan's shout successfully distracted most of the attention.

Bai Yu took two steps back, raised his right leg, and pressed his right hand on the opponent's face to prevent Hua Yuan from rushing over and grabbing his thigh.

He said with disdain: "I'm still wearing a mask, and you can still recognize me!"

"That's right, my admiration for you, big brother, is like an endless river. Don't you recognize it at a glance?" Hua Yuan said very enthusiastically: "Big brother, are you here to buy medicinal materials? Do you want me to bring you one? Road? I know which medicinal materials are of good quality, and I will not fool them with poor quality ones."

Bai Yu twitched the corner of his mouth, and looked past Hua Yuan at Zhang Tingshan who was blocking the road: "I have already bought the herbs, but unfortunately someone is blocking the road and won't let me go."

Zhang Tingshan frowned, looking at Hua Yuan who had simply ignored him. He said in a deep voice, "Hua Yuan, this matter has nothing to do with you. I suggest you stay away from it."

The bespectacled senior turned around and laughed. "I was wondering who it was. Turns out it's Master Zhang, the man who used some trickery to pass the Third-Rank Alchemist exam!"

He deliberately stretched out his tone, his voice full of sarcasm: "Why? Are you here to show off again today?"

"Hua Yuan, stop slandering me!"

"Did I scold you?" Hua Yuan pushed up his glasses. "Oh, I was just stating the facts. What's the matter? Is it because the second assessment is coming up soon and you're anxious to find medicinal herbs again?"

Zhang Tingshan said coldly, "If you continue to slander my reputation, I will challenge you to a duel of alchemy!"

Hua Yuan snorted disdainfully: "A third-year student is bullying a second-year student like me. He has no shame at all."

He didn't want to pay any attention to this cheating villain. It seemed like they had a feud before, so he immediately grabbed Bai Yu's wrist and said, "Elbow, Boss, let's ignore him. I just have some questions for you today."

Zhang Tingshan could no longer endure it: "You..." Then he realized something and looked at Bai Yu with a flickering gaze: "So you are also a Danshi."

Bai Yu raised his eyebrows: "So what if it is, so what if it isn't?"

"Since you're an alchemist, then challenge me to a duel! If I win, give me the copper shoots!" Zhang Tingshan said coldly, "Do you dare to challenge me?"

Bai Yu was stunned.

What is Doudan?

Are you hitting the refined pills like glass balls?

"Purple copper bamboo shoots... So you're here to steal them." Hua Yuan easily figured out the whole story. He stroked his chin and chuckled, "How about you not saying you lost yet?"

"I will apologize!"

"How much is your apology worth?" Hua Yuan was unconvinced: "You have to give something else!"

Zhang Tingshan, his face sullen, pulled out a box. "Here's a fourth-grade spiritual medicine, 'Buddha Fruit,' worth five hundred credits! If I lose, it'll be his! But if I win, I'll not only take the copper shoots, but I'll also want you, Hua Yuan, to kneel down and apologize!"

Gonghuo, right? You wouldn't be able to do it if I asked you to!

Unexpectedly, Hua Yuan agreed in just one second: "No problem at all!"

He looked at Bai Yu: "What do you say, Boss? Don't worry, I'll be the only one kneeling!"

...How come you, a passerby who just came in less than a minute, are more active than me?

...This road rage is at least in the late stage, right?

At this time, Bai Yu really didn't want to ask questions like what Doudan was, after all, it wasn't mentioned in the student handbook.

He still sent a message directly to Hua Yuan and asked.

Hua Yuan immediately responded fluently, "An elixir competition is when both parties refine the same elixir, and then a specialist compares and judges it, ultimately deciding the winner. Everything must be refined on-site."

Bai Yu thought about it and felt a strong sense of déjà vu.

...Isn’t this just the Broken Sword Competition?

One is forging iron on the spot, and the other is making elixirs on the spot.

"Okay." Bai Yu said briefly, then he felt it wasn't enough: "I'll add another thousand credits as another additional condition."

He pointed at the head of the Yuling Society office who was watching the show from the other side and said, "If I lose, you can take the 1,000 credits. If I win, I want him to resign immediately."

What a rich guy!

The person in charge jumped up immediately and asked, "What does this have to do with me?"

"Okay!" Zhang Tingshan's eyes flashed coldly. One thousand credits is not a small number.

"Master Zhang, you..." The person in charge wanted to say, "I won't do it," but was stopped by Zhang Tingshan's words: "Do you think I will lose?"

The person in charge of the Yuling Society office immediately hesitated. He naturally needed help from others, otherwise he would not be so humble.

"When I win, you'll naturally get some of the benefits," Zhang Tingshan said coldly. "Besides, I'm sure I'll win."

Although Bai Yu was wearing a mask, it was obvious that he was very young, probably a sophomore at most.

He is a third-grade alchemist, and the other party is at most a second-grade one.

Moreover, I have been in the third rank for nearly half a year and am very experienced.

This time, as long as the difficulty of the assessment is raised to the level of a third-grade elixir, the other party will most likely not be able to refine a finished elixir.

The person in charge didn't know what to say, so he could only clasp his hands and say, "Then I'll leave it to Master Zhang."

Both parties reached a consensus.

"The law enforcement department is here."

Someone secretly notified the law enforcement department at some point, and a group of uniformed law enforcement officers arrived at the scene.

Seventy percent of the law enforcement department are graduates, and only 30% are current students. They symbolize the law enforcement force and are also the law enforcement department of the school, possessing the highest level of armed combat capabilities.

The person on duty this time was the deputy captain of the law enforcement team, a mature 27-year-old sister, surnamed Wu, known as Sister Wu.

Sister Wu ate a sesame cake while listening to what happened on the scene. When she heard that there was something fun to watch, she immediately waved her hand to signal the law enforcement team to come and notarize it.

The three-hour time limit is set, so start now!

Chapter 291 What is the antonym of local necrosis?

"The topic of this alchemy competition is... Purple Extreme Pill."

Sister Wu from the Law Enforcement Department announced directly to the public: "You have three hours to refine this pill. You will be evaluated based on the yield and quality of the pill."

She raised her hand. "We've invited Professor Shi, honorary professor of Danding College, to be the referee. He's betting thirty years of his academic career on this."

"First, never act on impulse."

"Second, there will be absolutely no wrong or missed calls!"

"Third, the referee is absolutely fair and beautiful!"

Professor Shi's expression was very stiff. He was probably wondering how he could sit in the judge's seat when he just went to buy vegetables.

Alchemy competitions are actually not uncommon in Danding Academy.

Most of the students are young and energetic, and they may even lose their temper over a quarrel or two.

It is difficult to refute someone, but it is very easy to convince them with your fists.

Alchemists don't use their fists, they use pills too.

I can't argue with you, but can I still defeat you?

Even if the two sides are arguing about whether sweet or salty rice dumplings are more delicious, the winner can be decided through a duel of pills!

People without power can do nothing, even their beloved rice dumplings cannot be protected, and they are forced to be stuffed with food that they don’t like at all.

This is the alchemy competition, a very cruel game and competition among alchemists.

However, the stakes this time were high enough even in the Danding Academy, where alchemy competitions were a rage.

It's just like when everyone plays cards in the Duel Academy, the worst that can happen if you lose is that your clothes are destroyed, but this time you're betting on a whole deck, and if you lose you'll lose all your wives.
