Chapter 696: A starving camel is still bigger than a horse
Zhang Tao"s departure did not mean that the matter was over.
In the hall.
Fang ping did not leave. The others had not recovered from their injuries, so they were not in a hurry to leave.
To everyone"s surprise, Fang ping suddenly grabbed Qin Fengqing and began to remove his shoes amidst Qin Fengqing"s screams that sounded like pigs being slaughtered!
"Don "t!"
"Fang ping, don "t!"
Qin Fengqing screamed loudly. "Don"t take away my divine weapon. I"ve just gotten used to it."
He was inhumane!
Everyone was incomparably stunned. What was going on?
Fang ping ignored him. As he removed his shoes, he said, "I"m just lending it to you for a while. You"re just a pa.s.serby this time. I"ll help you pay off the school"s debt. That"s good enough. "
"A bystander?"
Qin Fengqing was furious!
"Fang ping, do you even have a conscience?"
Qin Fengqing said with extreme grief and indignation,"in this battle, I killed two rank-9s with my ability as an early-stage rank-7!" He had blown up 10 rank-7s!
This is called being a bystander?
I risked my life to help, and you say I"m just a bystander?
Say, who knows if old Zhang"s thing is real or fake? if it"s fake, I"ll die without a doubt!
I"m so sincere to you. I don"t expect you to be grateful, but you can"t go against your conscience, can you?
How am I just a bystander?
You actually want to take back the shoes you gave me ..."
"Shut up, you!"
Fang ping rolled his eyes and said in a bad mood,"Can you afford two divine weapons? Give me the shoes or the long saber, you choose!"
Qin Fengqing had a divine weapon, which he got in star suppression city last time.
Could this guy afford two divine weapons?
Qin Fengqing looked helpless and stammered,""I ... I can afford it!"
"Get lost!"
Fang ping cursed. Finally, he asked,"Which one should I choose? I think it"s a good choice for you to choose the boots. Divine weapons such as swords and sabers are common, but boots are rare. You have a set for running, so this one is quite suitable for you. "
"Then I don"t have any weapons ..."
"It"s the same if you get an alloy knife. Your strength is only so-so anyway. You can"t kill anyone, but it"s not bad to run faster than them."
Qin Fengqing struggled for a long time, and finally said with extreme grief and indignation,""You"re taking it away when it"s already on your feet, you"re too much!"
Once he said that, Fang ping knew what he had chosen. He did not hesitate and quickly took off his boots.
Fang ping took off his boots. Under Qin Fengqing"s pained gaze, he handed over his rank-7 long saber, rank-7 combat boots, and a rank-7 monster"s corpse to Nanyun ping.
"Vice-Chancellor Nan, I previously promised to give you a rank-8 divine weapon, but I previously used a rank-9 monster plant to forge combat boots. Now, I still need to use a divine weapon. Although these two divine weapons and a monster"s corpse might not be comparable to a rank-8 divine weapon, the difference should not be too big ..."
Nanyun ping was slightly surprised. She then smiled and said, "There"s no need. If I had known that it was for me, I wouldn"t have had to take it off from Qin Fengqing"s feet ..."
"That won"t do!"
Fang ping laughed."I"m a man of my word. If I say I"ll give it to you, I"ll definitely give it to you!"
"You"ve taken the risk to fight a rank-9 martial artist this time, and that"s an extra favor.
"If you don"t make a move, these evil sect martial artists won"t dare to target you or find trouble with you. This time, everyone is here for me, Fang ping. Since I, Fang ping, have said it, I won"t go back on my word!"
Fang ping forcefully handed the divine weapon and the demonic beast corpse to Nanyun ping.
Then, he looked at the 10 rank-8 powerhouses from the Wu an Army and the falling star Army and said,""You all risked your lives to help ..."
"Vice-Chancellor Fang, you"re too kind. This is our duty. Evil sect martial artists should be punished ..." The leading martial artist of the Wu an Army smiled.
"You can"t say that. We can annihilate the evil sect at any time, but everyone came to Magic City this time for me, Fang ping!
However, I"m also short of money now. If it were in the past ..."
Fang ping sighed a little, but he quickly smiled and said,"Even though I"m short on money, I can"t ignore everyone"s efforts.
" 1000 catties of rank-9 energy stones. This is also a small token of appreciation that I can give at the moment ..."
The 10 rank-8 powerhouses were a little dazed.
This is called being embarra.s.singly short of money?
This is called a small gift?
One catty of rank-9 energy stones was worth as much as 300 million in exchange for martial arts universities!
300 billion?
30 billion per person?
Of course, this could not be compared to the three divine weapons that Nanyun ping had obtained. A seventh-grade divine weapon was only worth ten billion, but ten billion was definitely not enough to buy a seventh-grade divine weapon. It was that simple.
Even ten billion energy stones could hardly be exchanged for a seventh-grade magic weapon.
But they had many people, and their strength was not as strong as Nanyun ping. They actually split several tens of billions by themselves!
The 10 rank-8 powerhouses were all stunned!
Fang ping laughed."There"s no need to be so polite, everyone. In the past, I wouldn"t be able to take out these things. I"m really putting my head on the line to work. I"m different from the Minister.
"The department head searched and searched. He still has to consider all the martial artists in China, but I don"t have to consider so much.
"Everyone, come and help me. I, Fang ping, can"t be without a conscience!
In the future, when I need your help, I may need your help. "
As Fang ping spoke, he said nonchalantly,"Maybe the next time I become the commander of the Wu an Army or the Starfall Army, we will all be eating in the same pot. Seniors, you are both seniors and comrades, so please don"t reject me!"
After Fang ping said that, a large box appeared in front of him. He handed it to the leader and said,"These energy stones, we"ll split among ourselves. "In addition, I feel apologetic for senior Li Yue"s death in battle ...
I only have 10 pounds of life essence left. I hope that you can pa.s.s it to Li Yue"s family ...
I"m not going, I can"t stand this. Senior Li Yue died for me, I don"t know how to face his family if I go. "
Fang ping took out another bottle and pa.s.sed it to the fallen star Army powerhouse.
After he was done, Fang ping looked at w.a.n.g Qinghai and smiled."The Minister took a risk to come to help ..."
"No, I"ll pa.s.s!" Minister w.a.n.g laughed. "Actually, I was the one who suggested the plan to exterminate the evil sect ..."
"That"s because they wanted to kill me. Minister, you don"t have to exonerate me."
As Fang ping spoke, an IOU appeared in his hand. He crushed it immediately and laughed."It was just a joke before, Minister, you don"t have to take it seriously. In addition, the Minister"s golden body was at the fifth refinement. If he wanted to break through to rank-9 next, he would have to consume a lot of energy.
"I"ll give the department head 200 catties of rank-9 energy stones as a form of congratulatory gift ..."
Without giving w.a.n.g Qinghai a chance to refuse, Fang ping looked at Chen yaoting and said,""Elder Chen has risked his life to save my life time and time again. There"s no way I can repay this favor. Scmau has a lot of people here. I"ve prepared 300 catties of rank-9 energy stones. Elder Chen, bring them back for scmau"s teachers and students to make use of, so that a second Grandmaster can appear sooner ..."
In an instant, Fang ping had distributed 1500 catties of rank-9 energy stones, worth 450 billion!
There were two divine weapons and one demonic beast.
In addition to the 10 pounds of life essence, the value exceeded 500 billion!
At the same time, Fang ping was also sighing, "I"m really short on money this time, and the expenses are too great. I can only give you these things to express my grat.i.tude.
There was still quite a lot of energy liquid and imperishable substance energy liquid previously, but in the end, teacher li needed them for a breakthrough, and they were all spent ...
If there"s a chance next time, I won"t be as stingy as I am today. "
Fang ping was filled with a myriad of emotions, leaving these powerhouses dumbfounded as they listened.
This kid ... Was not just rich!
It sounded like they were about to go bankrupt, but a starving camel was still bigger than a horse. They could easily fill their mouths with food just by throwing it out.
"The Dragon King and Captain beigong are both rank-nine powerhouses and have contributed greatly this time. However, I really can"t take out anything useful to rank-nines this time. The IOUs of the two seniors is also a joke. Please help me send them back to the two seniors ..."
Fang ping took out the IOUs the two of them had written earlier and asked them to return it to them.
The rank-9 powerhouse wrote an IOU. Even though Fang ping seemed to be joking and did not say that he wanted it, it was still a little hurtful. Those who were more petty ... Who knew what they would think.
Having returned the IOU, Fang ping considered that he had returned the favor these two had done for him this time.
As for exterminating evil sects, it was not necessarily their duty.
It was everyone"s duty to annihilate evil sects. If these people really did not come this time, Fang ping could do nothing about it.
After settling these people, they would all be considered outsiders.
As for Kong Lingyuan, Fang ping had given him quite a lot of imperishable substance before. As for the others, they were not of much use to Kong Lingyuan, so this debt was considered settled.
Although he had given away a large sum of wealth, Fang ping was still smiling happily. He said loudly,"Although I, Fang ping, am young, I will never do something that will make others bleed and cry!
"Also, even though the Wu an Army is good and the Starfall Army is strong, I feel that you seniors might have other paths to take.
"For example ... To become an instructor in mcmau?
"Now, mcmau is about to take charge of Magic city"s catacombs. Once the Wu "an Army has settled the matter of the Forbidden city"s catacombs, the seniors will probably be a.s.signed to their respective places.
"But are other places as satisfying as mcmau?
"On Magic City catacombs "side, mcmau will annihilate this catacombs sooner or later. All the seniors here are powerhouses who have fought their way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
In other places, he would be sullen!
I can"t fight, I can"t fight!
They could fight in Shanghai!
"Even if we don"t take the initiative, they"ll take the initiative because I, Fang ping, am from mcmau. I"m a thorn in the catacombs "side, and the two Royal Courts can"t wait to kill me!"
Fang ping said with a straight face,"that"s why, among the various catacombs, Magic City catacombs has the most Wars and the most intense!"
If seniors wish to pursue a quiet life, you can go to other places.
"If you want to fight to your heart"s content, then come to mcmau, come to Magic City!"
The moment he said that, the expressions of the ten rank-8 powerhouses from the two armies changed slightly.
At the side, Liu polu and the others were stunned!
Poaching!
I"ll go!
Fang ping first gave them benefits, showing them what it meant to be rich and generous, and what it meant to share the good fortune. Then, he brought up the matter of inviting them to Magic City catacombs ...
Wasn"t this clearly trying to poach the two paragons?
If the two of them knew about this, Fang ping would be beaten to death!
Would it be easy for the two legions to nurture rank-8?
There were 38 1000-man regiments in the Wu an Army. This was old Zhang"s acc.u.mulation for decades. Including the chief and Deputy regimental commanders, there were a total of 40 high-ranked powerhouses.
"Among them, there are only about 10 rank-8 powerhouses.
However, some of them had just entered rank-8, some of them had surpa.s.sed rank-8 and were third refined. Only these five people were rank-8 and first and second refined.
If he was dug away, old Zhang would tear Fang ping apart.
The fallen star Army was more or less the same.
Fang ping did not care about this. After chatting and laughing for a while, he looked at Nanyun ping and said,""Vice-Chancellor Nan, the first Military Academy has a strict school spirit and is full of strong people. However, things were different now.
"Once mcmau takes over Magic City catacombs, there might be frequent wars that will be even more intense than before.
In the past, most of the first military school"s students would enter Magic city"s military department for training, but now the military department might be leaving soon.
Then would the first military school retreat with them?
"Vice-Chancellor Nan, have you considered the merger of first military school and mcmau?"
Nanyun ping was a little dazed.
What"s wrong?
What was happening?
Was the first military school going to merge with mcmau just like that?
Fang ping laughed,"in mcmau, the southern area is not small. There are mineral veins and sufficient energy." The first military school was located on a small island, far from the catacombs "pa.s.sageway. To be honest, it was not suitable to be a school site.
There weren"t many cadets in the first Military Academy either, only about 3000 in total.
"If we merge it with mcmau, it won"t be a burden to mcmau. Vice-Chancellor Nan doesn"t have to worry about this.
"In the past, there were 102 martial arts universities and military schools. That was to increase the compet.i.tiveness, to let each school bloom and cultivate different powerhouses.
"But now, the situation is critical. I think we should work together. There"s strength in numbers. Let"s make the same sound ...
"Of course, Vice-Chancellor Nan, you can consider this. I will also fight for it with the Education Department."
Chen yaoting noticed that Fang ping was looking at him, speechless. "Scmau is in the North. We won"t merge with you guys, don"t even mention it!"
Fang ping did not mind. He looked at the dazed Kong Ling Yuan and chuckled."Great Grandmaster Kong ..."
It was Kong Lingyuan"s first time meeting Fang ping, but he could feel the pressure. He immediately smiled and said,""I"m going to take charge of the Zhongzhou catacombs soon. As for coming to mcmau, forget it. After all, I won"t have much time to leave the catacombs in the future. "
"It doesn"t matter even if you have the t.i.tle of honorary Vice-Chancellor. When the time comes, grandmasters can receive a certain amount of cultivation resources from mcmau every month. Although it"s not worth mentioning to rank-9s, it"s still a source of income ..."
"I think I"ll pa.s.s," Kong Lingyuan laughed."I have a position in the central government. I can"t get double treatment."
Kong Ling Yuan and the northern spear King w.a.n.g Yu were both experts from the central government.
In the original top ten rankings, seven of them were heads of the three ministries and four prefectures, Zhao xingwu was one, and the remaining two were from the central government.
However, the Giants of the central government were actually the Giants of the three ministries and four prefectures.
The central government had a Joint Council. Fang ping had only found out about this after he entered mcmau.
There were 12 powerhouses in the United Council, including seven from the three ministries and four houses. w.a.n.g Yu and Kong Lingyuan were also included in the remaining five, making it a total of nine.
The remaining three were the other three powerhouses at the giant level, but their strength was not at the peak.
As for the hidden powerhouses that Fang ping had previously thought were some of the government"s leading figures ... Their strength was actually just average.
Or rather, China was still governed by civil and military officials.
Although Zhang Tao was the Minister of Education, the three ministries and four constabularies were all armed forces.
The central government was not a purely military organization, but an organization that governed the People"s lives.
They were more in charge of the ordinary people, the domestic economic development, the agricultural development ...
Those big shots were all elites in management, and their strength varied. However, most of them had the strength of the seventh stage.
Fang ping was not surprised by his refusal. He smiled and said,"I hope that we will have the opportunity to work with the martial Grandmaster in the future ..."
Kong Lingyuan laughed but did not say anything. This time, he had gotten to know mcmau Fang ping.
This brat"s courage was not ordinary!
He wanted to poach experts, and he wasn"t afraid of being beaten to death.
……
As they chatted, the Wu an Army and the falling star Army quickly left. Kong Lingyuan"s injuries had recovered a little, so he also took to the air and left.
After these people had left, the barefooted Qin Fengqing said with a shocked expression, "You"re good, kid. Are you not satisfied with being the princ.i.p.al and want to be the Minister?"
Fang ping sneered,"cut the c.r.a.p. Am I that kind of person?" "I did it for mcmau!
"Mcmau is about to guard the catacombs, and there will definitely be a lot of battles. I can"t show my face yet, lest I cause these people to go crazy. Of course, I have to find more powerhouses to hold the fort.
"Right now, even if instructor li is included, mcmau only has two powerhouses who have just entered the origin Dao.
"Rank-8s, including elder Liu and me, make 5 people.
"There are only 9 rank-7s, including you.
"This kind of strength is actually equivalent to one city. There are still 12 other cities in Magic City catacombs. Now that demon Phoenix City is partic.i.p.ating in this war, it will probably be even more difficult in the future.
We can"t afford to lose them if we don"t pull in more powerhouses. "
Today, mcmau only had a total of 16 high-ranked powerhouses. Compared to other martial arts universities, they were naturally very strong.
"However, compared to the catacombs, it"s just like that.
Fang ping felt that these people were not enough for the upcoming troubles in Magic city"s catacombs.
Hearing that, Qin Fengqing did not say much. He chuckled and said,"Fang ping, you"ve given them so many energy stones ..."
"Settle the 100 billion you owe me first!"
Fang ping cut him off and ignored him. He looked at old w.a.n.g and the others and said,"I was in closed-door cultivation before, so I didn"t give you my previous harvest. I"ve used up all the energy liquid and I"ve taken all the energy stones.
The few of you, share some of the energy soil ..."
Fang ping took out a large amount of energy soil, then sighed,"Alright, I"m almost bankrupt too."
It wasn"t almost the same. Other than the 60 million wealth points, he was already bankrupt.
Of course, there were still a few miscellaneous items.
For example, some tables and chairs made from monster plants. However, Fang ping planned to move these into the crystal PaG.o.da. He was a rank-8 powerhouse himself, so he needed to show off more or less.
As for the rest, all that was left was the mineral vein.
For other things, he would give and spend whatever he needed. Fang ping earned fast, but he spent even faster.
It hadn"t even been a month since he had left the capital, and he had already spent all of his gains.
The last time they had harvested trillions of resources and trillions of wealth points, both he and old man Li had turned out to be gold-devouring beasts.
Old man Li was still in a stable period. It was not time for him to reap the harvest yet, so he still had to rely on Fang ping to provide for him.
This way, after a huge battle, Fang ping had completely spent all those things.
Of the five rank-9 powerhouses who were killed earlier, only fourth elder left behind a rank-8 magic weapon in the end. This was because Zhang Tao, who killed him, was too powerful, and the other party had no room to resist.
Fang ping did not take the rank-8 divine weapon. With Zhang Tao around, would that old sly fellow give Fang ping any chance?
After killing the other party, he would take it away.
Fang Ping"s storage s.p.a.ce was empty again.
Fang ping sighed in his heart. This spending was too much. If this went on, he would not have enough money to spend even if he robbed an entire boundary.
"We still have to enter the catacombs! The powerhouses on earth are too poor!"
Even though quite a few rank-9s had died this time, Fang ping did not believe that these rank-9s had left behind many properties.
"When you"re at rank-9, how many properties do you have?
Zhang Tao said he could get three to four hundred billion, but Fang ping did not think it was very credible, unless he robbed the sacred land.
"I hope I can get more things back so that I can at least recover 100 million wealth points."
As he thought about this, Fang ping said, "It"s been more peaceful recently. A true king has fallen in the catacombs, and he might be holding back his anger now. "I won"t be going down to the catacombs any time soon. I"ll be focusing on cultivating martial arts and forging a golden body.
"I"m already at rank-8 third refined. Once I"ve completed the third refined, I"ll be considered a middle-stage rank-8 martial artist.
"Everyone, work hard. There won"t be enough time to acc.u.mulate experience if you enter the catacombs for a long time.
"In the past, we were invincible among our ranks. But now, if I were to fight a middle-stage rank-8 martial artist, I might not be a match for him. I"ll have to rely on delaying tactics."
Everyone nodded, and Qin Fengqing was no exception.
He used to be quite powerful, but his recent progress was too fast, and he didn"t have enough control over his power.
This could be seen from the tempering of his body with energy flames earlier.
That day, if it was old man Li, he would not have lost control at all. However, Qin Fengqing lost control a few times and almost blew himself up.
Only when a martial artist had a strong control over their strength could they unleash greater strength.
Fang Ping"s vitality was over 60000 Cal, but that did not mean that Fang ping could burst out with a combat strength corresponding to more than 60000 Cal.
In fact, his ability was about the same as Chen yaoting "S. Chen yaoting had just completed the third refinement and was now in his fourth golden body refinement. His vitality was around 70000 Cal.
However, Fang ping was not Chen yaoting"s match if he did not use his wealth to convert a large amount of imperishable substances.
Chen yaoting"s control over his vitality could reach at least 60%. With 70000 Cal of vitality, he could unleash more than 40000 Cal of power.
On the other hand, Fang Ping"s 40% control was already not bad. In reality, he might not even have that.
He was nothing like that freak old man Li. Even though he had improved quickly and his vitality was now as high as 90000 Cal, old man Li could at least achieve an outburst of 70000 Cal and above if he were to unleash an outburst. Coupled with the tens of thousands of DAOs as one, the power of his vitality would almost double.
With his strength, it would not be surprising for him to kill a rank-9.
There was only a difference of a few refinements between the two of them, but the difference in their strength was not just a few times.
When Fang ping said that everyone lacked experience, he was not the only one. Li Hansong and the others also had the same problem.
The advantage that the few of them held in the same rank was getting smaller and smaller.
"By the time you reach rank-9, you probably won"t have any advantage anymore, other than your weapons being a little stronger and your Foundation a little deeper.
