"Yeah." Bruce scratched his head and said, "Isn't it specially for us to sleep with?"
"But the content of the assessment is most likely about this," Jer pondered. "Is it a test of our combat capabilities?"
"What you said is too scary. Were they still holding a timer in their hands last night?!" Stank seemed to have heard a horror story.
At this moment, Ivy walked in with a group of tree spirits. Looking at the foreign aid in front of her, she did not beat around the bush and spoke lightly.
"You should already know that the second assessment began last night," Ivy said. "Now is the time to review the results."
After hearing Ivy's words, the expressions of the people present immediately became complicated.
Some looked around uneasily, some puffed out their chests with pride, and some were bewildered because they still didn't understand what was going on.
Ivy's eyes swept across the faces of each foreign player again, and then he slowly said, "Actually, when you left yesterday, I already gave you a hint about the second assessment. I just don't know how many of you noticed it."
"Tips for the second assessment?"
"Really? Did I miss it?"
People began to whisper.
Ivy replied, "When you left yesterday, I should have said, 'Please remember why you are here, and don't let other things distract you.'"
As soon as these words were spoken, combined with the mushroom girls in everyone's room, the foreign players realized something and their faces changed slightly.
"Haha, it looks like you guessed it," Ivy said with a forced smile. "The mushroom girls in your room last night were a test, and the content of this test was—moderation. Moderation is a fine quality, but not everyone possesses it. Of course, I'm not a demon, and I understand the most basic desires and needs. So, as long as you can take good care of your body and exert yourself to a certain extent, I can completely understand. On the other hand, if you know there will be a very important test today, but still lose control and lose a lot, then you are not the person we need."
After hearing what Ivy said, Stank's mouth twitched slightly.
"Is this... even possible?"
Jer also found it a little unbelievable: "Could it be that this is going to be a higher number of battles than last night? And the more times, the more likely you are to be eliminated?"
Bruce's face turned slightly green, and he couldn't help but curse: "Fuck!"
Aesop asked, "So we have to wait for the statistics over there?"
"No, no, no. To prevent our Mushroom Girls from making mistakes, we'll take a more intuitive approach," Ivy said. "We've already placed a marking spell on each Mushroom Girl. Anyone who has fought a Mushroom Girl will have a magical color on their body, and each time the color is different, which means the more colors on their body, the more times they fought last night."
Hearing this, Bruce's expression turned even uglier. He had originally thought that if he relied on Mushroom Girl's verbal statistics, he would have insisted that Mushroom Girl had misremembered him, saying that he had only fought once from beginning to end, but that one battle lasted for three or four times as long as others. But now it seemed that the forest had already taken precautions!
Damn it! This is too abominable!
Apparently, there were more than one or two people who shared the same idea as Bruce, so several of them looked pale and powerless.
"Don't worry, everyone. Since this assessment is a surprise one, we won't eliminate too many people at once." Ivy said with a half-smile, "Probably only... a quarter."
Isn’t that enough?!
But being in Cao's camp, everyone had no choice but to follow Ivy's instructions and go up to check one after another.
Yes, check them one by one.
Every person to be inspected would line up individually, and then a beam of light would shine over them. Then, everyone would watch as bright colors appeared on the person's lower body.
The first person is Wu Se!
Moreover, his legs were weak and he had obvious dark circles under his eyes. It was not known whether it was because he was scared or because he had really overdrawn his body, but judging from Ivy's expression, this man was definitely going to die.
"You can't blame me for this!" the man immediately shouted, "It's all because Mushroom Lady is so tempting. I can't do anything about it!"
Ivy glanced at the man and said calmly, "Fork it down."
So, the man was forked by the tree monsters, but even though he was gone, the voice trying to explain still echoed in everyone's ears.
"Okay, next one."
With the previous example, the people behind also knew what to do, and followed consciously, accepting the illumination of the light and allowing the colors on their bodies to appear.
There were all kinds of colors, from one to five. As soon as the five-color ones were exposed, they left on their own accord without the tree demon having to do anything. Ivy kept shaking her head, sighing, "Their self-control is really poor."
Soon, Jer, Stank and Bruce also finished the test.
The three had one, two, and three colors respectively. Jair and Stank were naturally safe, thanks to their previous battles in the Dream Tower, so their lost energy hadn't recovered as quickly. Bruce, on the other hand, was in a more difficult situation. Three colors wasn't the most, but it wasn't the least either. Those with four and five colors had already been eliminated, and he wasn't sure if he could survive.
Finally, there is Aesop.
Everyone's eyes were on him, but Aesop walked forward without fear, letting the light shine on him.
Then everyone's eyes widened.
Because there is no magical color on Aesop's body!
Even Ivy was shocked: "You haven't done it even once?! How...how did you do it?! Is it possible that our Mushroom Girl can't move you at all?"
Aesop shook his head without explaining.
"Well, it seems you do have self-control that most people don't have." Ivy exclaimed, "Without a doubt, you are the best."
Aesop smiled slightly after receiving the praise.
Then a mouthful of seven-colored teeth was revealed.
159 This is Fairness (Part 2)
After a while, the mushroom girl who was brought to the lobby by Zi Teng began to make a bloody and tearful accusation against Aesop.
"This person, this person!" The mushroom girl pointed at Aesop with a trembling finger and said, "Last night, he actually used me, he actually used me... Wow... He actually used me to make soup!"
I burst into tears halfway through my speech.
The others immediately turned their attention to Aesop. Aesop looked around and then asked with a puzzled look, "Is there any problem?"
"Do you think... it's okay?" Ivy's head was buzzing. As a tree demon who had lived for nearly two hundred years, Ivy believed that although she had never left the forest, most things in the world would not surprise her. But now, there was only one big question mark in her mind, "Why did you do this?"
"Isn't this your arrangement?" Aesop pointed at the mushroom girl and said, "Then why did she appear in my room?"
Ivy fell silent immediately. In fact, not only him, but everyone present, even Stank, Jair, Bruce and Zi Teng who knew Aesop, fell silent.
Good man, when other men see Mushroom Girl in the room, they will all shout "Woman"! The focus is on the word "girl".
And when Aesop saw Mushroom Girl in the room, his first reaction was "Wuhu, mushroom!" His focus was on the word "mushroom"?!
What kind of weird brain circuit is this? Ivy, who thought she had come up with such an ingenious method for Assessment 2, felt like there was something wrong with her brain. Or maybe there was something wrong with Aesop's brain. There had to be someone abnormal between the two of them.
"It seems... there's nothing particularly wrong, right?" Zi Teng asked cautiously, "Elder Ivy, how should this be calculated?"
Ivy didn't know how to judge for a moment.
Logically speaking, the highest he had before was only five colors, but this guy has already produced seven colors! No matter how you think about it, he should be out.
The five colors of others appear there, but his appear in his mouth!
Being eliminated because Mushroom Girl was asked to stew soup, this kind of thing is wrong no matter how you think about it!
Although Ivy really wanted to kick Aesop out of the assessment on the grounds that he "didn't play by the rules" and "wasn't in his right mind," these two excuses were untenable no matter how she thought about it. So after a moment of silence, Ivy slowly shook her head and said, "This gentleman...there is nothing wrong with him."
"Elder!" The mushroom girl immediately became anxious. "How can you let him go?! This guy not only used me to make soup, he also... "
"What else happened to him?"
Ivy also felt that Aesop was too unreliable. If this lunatic finally met her grandmother and caused some trouble, she would no longer have to be an elder. So she thought that once the mushroom lady said that Aesop had touched her, she would use this as an excuse to get Aesop out.
"He, he..." Mushroom Girl wanted to cry again, "He even put chili peppers in the pot!"
ivy:"……"
Everyone looked at Aesop again.
Aesop said, "I do prefer spicy food."
Ivy didn't want to say anything more. She just felt very tired. She thought that if she continued on this topic, her IQ, which she was so proud of, would be dragged down to the same level.
So she waved her hand and said tiredly, "Let's leave it at that for now. This gentleman will definitely be fine. Just eliminate the previous ones. Those who have failed more than three times... forget it. Those who have failed more than four times can leave."
Originally, Ivy wanted to eliminate everyone with three or more colors, but then she thought that if too many people left this round, Aesop would be more likely to hold on to the end and see his grandmother.
That won’t do. We must not let such a psychopath see my grandmother.
Ivy secretly made a decision in her heart.
Therefore, she wanted to leave more people behind in this round to reduce the probability of Aesop making it to the end.
"Okay, that's it for now. The second assessment is over, and the third assessment starts tomorrow." Ivy said, "Please take a good rest."
Having said that, she turned and left. This time she didn't suddenly turn back to say something. It seemed that she was really tired.
Bruce immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then patted Aesop's shoulder thankfully: "Luckily, you're here, brother Aesop. If it weren't for you, I would definitely be out. I owe you a favor."
Aesop turned to look at Bruce and said, "But you still haven't paid me back what you owed me last time."
Bruce's face flushed instantly, and he quickly waved his hands: "Hey, brothers, you still have to say these things! Whenever you need anything, just call me by my name. From now on, I am your bear."
Jer couldn't help but complain: "Hey, hey, hey, Bruce, have you forgotten that you are not a bear?"
"I haven't forgotten." Bruce scratched his head and said, "But I can't say, 'From now on, brother, I am your dog, right?'"
"Well, that seems to be the case." Stank said, "But Aesop, it seems that girl has a grudge against you."
Aesop turned his head and found that the mushroom girl was still looking at him, her beautiful eyes full of anger.
That does not work.
So Aesop walked over and said to the mushroom lady, "How about this, last night I owe you, I'll just pay you back later."
The mushroom lady snorted coldly: "What are you going to give me back for what you owe me?!"
Aesop thought for a moment and said, "Come with me."
Then he turned and left. Mushroom Girl hesitated for a moment, but finally followed him. After all, this was the forest, their territory, and they weren't afraid that Aesop would do anything bad. Stank and the others had nothing else to do, so they followed him and then returned to the room.
Aesop stood in front of the door and said to the mushroom girl, "Wait for me here," then entered the room and found the door closed.
The mushroom girl wanted to see what Aesop was doing, so she started waiting. But she didn't expect that she would wait for nearly half an hour. When the mushroom girl was almost angry, the door opened and Aesop walked out of the room with a small bowl in his hand.
The bowl contained freshly cooked soup, which gave off an extremely rich aroma, and this aroma even carried a magical fragrance!
The girl's expression changed little by little, and she opened her mouth in surprise: "This is..."
"This is a potion that can increase magical power." Aesop said, "It didn't taste very good originally, but I added seasoning and it tastes like soup. It should be good."
Magic potion?!
Mushroom Girls, a tribe that worships magic, naturally know about potions. In this world, only human magicians are the best at brewing potions, but humans and forests don't have a close relationship, so potions are rarely available in the forest. Therefore, Mushroom Girls are well aware of the preciousness of this potion... oh no, magic soup.
"Can you give this to me?" asked the mushroom girl.
Aesop nodded: "I'm paying you back."
Although the mushroom girl wanted to refuse, the magical fragrance that continued to emanate made it impossible for her to refuse, so she took it and drank it in one gulp.
It’s really... delicious!
The mushroom girl felt that every pore on her body was emitting a magical fragrance, which was really comfortable.
"Well?" Aesop said, "Now we owe each other nothing, right?"
The mushroom girl knew that the value of this bowl of magic potion far outweighed the injustice she suffered last night, but she still had a little stubbornness in her mouth. She snorted softly, "But you treated me so badly last night. You threw me into the pot and boiled me. Although I didn't get hurt, it was still too much. Do you think this can offset each other?"
Although she said so, Jungu Girl was actually no longer angry. After all, she had benefited greatly from this magic potion and felt that her strength had improved.
Until she heard Aesop's next words.
"Don't worry, it really does offset the effect." Aesop said seriously, "This potion was brewed with my foot washing water, so it also has the smell of my body."
The happy expression on Mushroom Girl's face gradually froze.
"Don't worry." Aesop waved his hand and said, "What I value most is fairness."
"This is fair."
The consequences of 160's defeat!
When they saw the almost mad mushroom girl trotting away, the people watching on the side were speechless.
"Aesop," Stank said helplessly, "Does your teacher really know how outstanding you are?"
"Yeah." Aesop nodded and said, "He has always known how good I am."
"That's not what I meant..." Stank felt that he had to make things clear to Aesop. "This is a forest, someone else's territory. Aren't you afraid of getting beaten for doing this?"
Aesop thought for a moment and said, "No one can beat me."
