The Otherworldly Adventures of a Super Naive Girl

Chapter 441-442: Bye Bye Masters Team Members; New Task

441: Bye Bye Masters Team Members

Olivias interviews didnt go well. Every person she interviewed had a list of complaints they wanted to get off their chest. She wasnt there to hear their complaints though.

Feng Wu stood in the square watching the broadcast screen.

The eleven teams had not met each other yet because they were all in different locations. Most of the teams had been eliminated because they were unfamiliar with zombies.

All of the eleven teams that survived, survived because they were strong and cautious.

Of course, the challenge had more than one level of difficulty. The zombies went up a level to level 2 and knocked out those teams that miscalculated the zombies attack powers.

Three teams were eliminated. It wasnt easy to survive to that point so it was a pity they were eliminated at the last minute.

The ousted teams had nearly collected all ten badges. Given a little more time, they would have gathered all ten and completed the challenge. But a competition was a competition and a failure was a failure. There were no ifs ands or buts.

Ming Xi noticed the longer they stayed in the arena, the more difficult it was to move forward. Other people in other teams had also noted the same phenomenon. Such changes made it difficult to win the challenge.

Ming Xis team had already found eight badges. They only needed two more, but the last two were the hardest to find. The most difficult part of the challenge was still to come.

Feng Wu left school and went out to the streets to find something to eat. Outside, many people were watching the broadcast screen, which was showing the teams as they went through the level. The challenge was taking place in the virtual world, so as long as the bystanders werent interrupting anything, they were welcome to watch from outside the school.

Feng Wu bought a cup of sour pickled plum when she unexpectedly ran into three friends.

Xiao Wu! Rain waved her hands excitedly. She rushed over and sat down next to Feng Wu.

Wind and Pei Qing followed behind her with big smiles on their faces as well.

Rain slammed her hand on the table and bellowed out loud. Boss, three cups of pickled plum drinks please!

Coming, coming. The Boss looked over and got up to serve them the drink.

Che, thought you were going to order something good when you called over like that. Turned out it was for a cheap drink like pickled plum. The other guests nearby muttered.

It was a small shop that sold all kinds of drinks. Pickled plum was the cheapest. A cup cost two coppers because the plums themselves were so inexpensive. It was impossible to mark to price up high.

The judgmental eyes of the other guests didnt phase the group at all. The three guys were so excited to see Feng Wu again that all the guest chatter just went in one ear and out the other.

Rain, Wind, Big Brother Pei Qing! Feng Wu was surprised to see three friends she hadnt seen in a long time.

Xiao Wu, we havent seen you in so long. Where have you been? We couldnt find you or Captain Jier. Rain whispered.

Yeah, we couldnt find you guys. Wind took a big gulp of sour plum.

We went to see your competition. It was looking good. If it werent for a certain somebody messing you up, you would have definitely succeeded Xiao Wu. Pei Qing felt bad for Feng Wu. If it had been an individual challenge, she would have definitely performed better. A pity it was a team challenge, and so unfavorably too.

Feng Wu answered Rains question and told them all about her trip at sea.

Pei Qing and the others never dreamed she would have had so many experiences. All her encounters sounded extremely dangerous, but she managed to get through everything. If it had been them, they wouldnt have had the confidence to survive.

They were amazed at her misfortune. After learning what she went through, it put things in perspective for them. The tasks they took on didnt seem so dangerous anymore.

Pei Qing told her about the tasks they picked up and all the interesting things they encountered. Their lives had also been filled with excitement from finding lost pets to catching adulterers and bandits. As long as the tasks were profitable, they took them.

Of course they only signed up for things within their abilities. The three cherished their lives, so they would never take anything too challenging.

By the way Xiao Wu, we have a new task were taking. Do you want to do it with us? It was assigned by an old lady who suspects her daughter-in-law isnt human. So shes inviting adventurers to discover the truth. Do you want to go in on it together? Rain cutely tugged at Feng Wus hand.

A mission? Feng Wu blinked. The individual competition was in ten days so she could go. She nodded and agreed.

Wind, Rain, and Pei Qing all cheered.

They made an appointment to meet in front of the school tomorrow morning.

Fortunately, teachers in the Sword division didnt burden their students with memorizing spells; they only cared that their students score high on their text and combat exams. The teachers did not care if their students went out and took tasks from the guilds.

Those who wanted to be sword masters could only grow from real combat experience.

After Feng Wu and Rain figured out a meeting time, Feng Wu went to the virtual world to ask her teacher for a leave of absence. Her teacher was happy to grant her the leave because it was an Adventurers guild task.

Feng Wu didnt plan on taking Little Bun with her for the trip, but who could she leave him with? Jier was a good candidate, but he had classes, so it would be inconvenient for him to bring Little Bun.

442: New Task

Feng Wu thought about giving Little Bun to Tian Yue for a while. The vice principal, once he learned of this, expressed with great enthusiasm that he would be interested in helping Feng Wu with Little Bun.

Because the vice principal was always active and engaged whenever he took cared of Little Bun, Little Bun was familiar and comfortable with him. Feng Wu didnt mind leaving Little Bun with the kindly old grandpa.

Little Bun had a place to stay, and he would be cared for by one of the two strongest people at school. Feng Wu was 120% reassured.

The next day Feng Wu dropped Little Bun off in the vice principals arms. She and Rui Baby waved goodbye before heading out.

Jier wanted to go as well, but he couldnt leave school for some reason. He watched with a depressed heart as Feng Wu left with three unreliable beasts.

Not many people noticed Feng Wus departure; most people were focused on the extreme survival challenge.

Yanran and her mother were interested in Little Bun, but they couldnt do anything because he was under the vice principals care and he was, aside from the principal, the strongest person on campus. Though no one had ever seen the old man show his hand, no one dared aggravate him enough for him to do so.

The vice principal didnt let Little Bun leave his side from the moment Feng Wu left. People noticed he brought Little Bun with him every time he went on stage to give commentary.

Little Bun was cute with a lady killer face.

Do you think the kid is the vice principals grandchild?

No way! Ive never heard the vice principal had any children.

Maybe the child is his son?

Thats even more impossible. The vice principal is so old; how can he have a baby son now?

Then whose child is it?

Maybe its a friends child?

There were many opinions about who Little Bun Feng Ye was. Only a few people recognized he was Feng Wus illegitimate child.

Was it possible the child was an illegitimate child of Feng Wu and the vice president?!

No way! Out of the question! This way of thinking was too filthy! If the vice principal knew they even had these thoughts, he would definitely kill them! He would definitely kill them for sure!

Perhaps the vice principal saw something splendid in the child and was raising it to pass on his legacy to?

The last guess was accepted by many to be the correct one even though they couldnt see what was so special about Little Bun that he would be given special consideration by the vice principal, a man who had seen countless geniuses before.

The vice principal said nothing about the speculations. He had already made up his mind to not say anything. If they had what it took to guess, then they could guess.

Feng Wu was unaware of the interest Little Bun was creating at school when she and her group arrived at Count Nigusus castle in Rain city through the teleportation array.

The city got its name because it rained most of the year. This made the crops grow fast and in turn made the city rich.

Outside the castle, a butler met the group and took them to a high tower via a very secret pathway.

Madam, the adventurers for the mission are here. The butler knocked on the door before walking inside and respectfully reported to a lady.

Please come in. A voice tinged with vicissitude came from the lady.

The group had waited by the door quietly until a maid led them inside. They followed behind her.

Hello honorable madam. Pei Qing was the default representative.

No need to be so polite, replied the old lady.

Feng Wu and the others looked to the sound of her voice and were surprised at the sight. The lady was actually in her fifties. Though her face only showed fine traces of time, her hair was fully gray. Worry shown in her eyes.

Since youve accepted my request, I will go through my requirements again one more time. I hope you will not disappoint me. The reward I attached to the request was meant to not attract too much attention. If you complete my request, I will increase the reward to 120,000 gold.

An additional 20,000 gold?! As expected, as the mother of Count of Nigusu ,she was indeed rich.

Speaking of the count, he was a well-known eligible bachelor. He didnt just have money, but also had a lot of power, and as mayor of Rain city, held a great deal of influence and status in the city as well. On top of that, he was also young, being only thirty, and very handsome. All these qualities combined meant he was much sought after by the ladies.

Yet despite being so popular, he was never linked to any kind of sex scandal. Those who knew him were baffled by it.

It didnt matter what people thought though; the count wasnt interested in women. He didnt interact with them unless it had to do with city affairs.

That was until Nigusu met a dark-haired, enchanting beauty. The two married less than a month after meeting.

The speed with which they married shocked society. Even Pei Qing had heard about it. People had wondered what kind of beauty she was, that the count, a man who had previously been unmoved by countless beauties before, would be so smitten that he rushed to marry her.

No one ever thought Count Nigusus mother would post a task related to her daughter-in-law less than a year after the wedding.

Was it possible she and her new daughter-in-law were enemies? That she feared losing her position in her sons heart and so she wanted to cause trouble for her daughter-in-law?

Or was there something wrong with the newly appointed countess?

But it didnt matter what the possibilities were. The adventurers who took up the task only needed to find out the truth and collect their payment.

The old lady explained her doubts about the countess to Feng Wu and the group.

The count changed dramatically after his new wife took up residence as the countess in the castle. He refused to go out and stayed indoors with his wife all day. He avoided handling city affairs. Previously, though he didnt love the city, he was a responsible and diligent official who took his responsibilities seriously.

Now a days, he refused to do any work and handed all his duties to his deputy mayor.

The deputy mayor was a good man who grew up with Count Nigusu. He was the one who first noticed something was wrong.

Additionally, the count stayed with his wife locked in his room all day. His body had grown so frail as the days passed that he had recently taken to staying in bed sick. Even the old lady, his own mother, was not allowed to see him.
