Cheng Wanbai looked at Mu Chen whose eyes were locked on the thin curtain. He frowned as he pondered deeply, and then he suddenly became enlightened. In just a few moments, he had already answered more than a dozen questions.
Ye Shi looked straight at Cheng Wanbai, full of vigilance: “Mu Chen is making money, Miss Cheng. Please go somewhere else.” He implored Cheng Wanbai to leave them alone.
Cheng Wanbai frowned, looking at Mu Chen who had indulged himself with those questions.
Cheng Wanbai frowned and left disappointedly.
Ye Shi felt relieved after Cheng Wanbai left.
Ye Shi rubbed his forehead as he couldn’t help but feel depressed. Although he didn’t want to admit it, Cheng Wanbai did put a lot of pressure on him.
Ye Shi looked at Mu Chen and felt helpless. How come everyone was paying extra attention to Mu Chen? For example, Zhuang Yu, and now Cheng Wanbai. Mu Chen was an attention-getter. He got a girl’s attention in just a few moments when he got the alchemist certification.
“Brother Cang, Miss Cheng seems to be very interested in Mu Chen.” A young man folded his arms and said jokingly.
“Miss Cheng has always been kind to young talents. Mu Chen is very young and is a second-rate alchemist. No wonder Miss Cheng is interested in him.” Zhou Xuan, who had chosen Cang Yu, teased back.
“Brother Cang has long successfully refined second-grade elixir, but he was unlucky when he got certified. That guy named Mu Chen passed the certification because he was lucky. I’m sure he’s no more capable than Brother Cang.” Li Ping, siding with Cang Yu, persisted.
Zhou Xuan said disapprovingly: “Although he was lucky, he passed the certification. And the Alchemist Association will give him certification.”
The thin curtain continued to turn the page. Li Ping frowned and said: “What did he do? Did he answer the question? He answered a long time ago, but his name didn’t appear!”
“Maybe he chose to answer anonymously.” Cang Yu said.
Zhou Xuan rolled his eyes and said: “He just answered a question. Why did he do it so mysteriously?”
“Maybe he was afraid he would be too embarrassed because he didn’t know the answer.” Cang Yu said with some disdain.
Mu Chen spent a day answering questions. Mu Chen did not stop until people left the association.
“Let’s finish today.” Mu Chen said to Ye Shi.
Ye Shi nodded and said: “Okay.” If Mu Chen didn’t stop, Ye Shi would tell him to leave because he would starve. “Mu Chen, you have completed 256 questions. The total reward for these questions is over 60,000. If you answer half of them correctly, we will have over 30,000 spirit stones in the account.”
Mu Chen smiled and said: “Sounds good.”
Ye Shi nodded and said: “Yes! I wonder how many base stones we’ll have.”
The white-clothed waiter watched Mu Chen and Ye Shi leave and smiled.
“Dongling, what are you thinking about? Why are you smiling so happily?” A purple-clothed waiter came over and asked.
“Zi Fei, you know. I met two strange people today.” Dongling said with narrowed brows.
Zi Fei raised her eyebrows and said: “How are they?”
“There was a boy not even fifteen years old who answered more than 200 questions, and the reward for each question was no less than 100 spirit stones, and the total reward was no less than 60,000. The guy’s friend said that if he answered half of the questions correctly, they would have more than 30,000 spirit stones in the account.” Dongling couldn’t help but laugh.
“They’re overestimating themselves. How can they get half of the questions right?” Zi Fei shook his head and said, Questions with a reward of 100 base stones have either been solved by others or are too difficult to solve.
Dongling shrugged and said: “I think so too. You said that he answered more than 200 questions with more than 100 rewards. How did he organize that?” There were so many questions that it was impossible to solve.
Zi Fei shrugged and said: “I’m sure he filled in all the questions randomly.”
“Zi Fei, Dongling, big news!” A young girl dressed in green walked out with an excited face.
Dongling asked: “What’s up?”
“Today, there is an extraordinary person who answered problems that have been unanswered for several years or even decades. Dozens of them were solved, and some of them were previously considered unsolvable.” Qingling clenched her fist and said.
“What?” Dongling asked incredulously.
Qingling blushed and said: “It’s hard to imagine. Starting at noon today, there was a continuous transfer of spirit stones from our union account to the same account. After dozens of consecutive transfers, it finally caught the attention of one of the elders in the association. The elder went backstage and checked that this person had answered more than 200 questions in total. I heard that more than 100 questions had been proven correct. He must be a master.”
Dongling’s face paled: “No way.”
Zi Fei looked at Dongling and said: “Dongling, the person you are talking about is not the same person Qingling is talking about, right?”
“I don’t think so. The person I’m talking about is still very young and he has just been promoted to a second grade alchemist.” Dongling frowned and said.
Qingling asked: “What are you two talking about?”
Dongling asked Qingling nervously: “Qingling, did the elder say who answered the question?”
Zi Fei shrugged and said: “This person answered the question anonymously. The elder guessed that he might be a high-level alchemist who was so bored that he came to answer questions.”
“That makes sense!” Dongling nodded. If a high-level alchemist answered questions with a high degree of accuracy, it would make more sense.
The next day, Ye Shi checked the card and suddenly shouted.
“Mu Chen, you have nearly 30,000 spirit stones in your account.” Ye Shi said excitedly.
Mu Chen smiled and said: “Really? That’s great!”
Ye Shi gritted his teeth and looked at Mu Chen jealously: “Alchemists can make money very easily. You just answer questions and you get so many base stones. You can live by answering questions in the future.”
Mu Chen smiled and said disapprovingly: “That doesn’t happen as often as today. All the questions you chose for me are high reward ones. I’ve already solved all the ones I know. The rest are the ones I don’t know the answers to.”
Ye Shi nodded and said: “How come you know the answers to so many questions?”
“Thanks to the recipes I read. I’ve learned a lot from them.” Mu Chen explained.
Ye Shi said in embarrassment: “That’s my fault. You’re right. We should buy more recipes. No pain, no gain. Let’s buy recipes now.”
Mu Chen: “…”
“Let’s buy recipes at the low-level alchemist association. I heard that the recipes there are more available and cheaper.” Ye Shi thought for a moment.
Mu Chen nodded and said: “Okay.”
Ye Shi and Mu Chen walked to the gates of the Low Level Alchemist Association and were startled by the crowds out there.
“Why are there so many people today? I heard there was an event yesterday. Is there one today too?” Ye Shi asked.
Mu Chen shook his head and said: “I don’t know.”
“Sir, what can I do for you?” Dongling approached Mu Chen and Ye Shi. Dongling thought back to what happened yesterday.
Up to this point, almost 213 questions answered by the “master” yesterday had been confirmed to be correct, which was a miracle.
After the answers to many questions were announced, people were shocked. It is precisely because of this that there are so many people in the association today.
“Is there any way you can buy some first- and second-grade elixir recipes here?” Ye Shi asked Dongling.
Dongling nodded and said: “Yes! We have many first- and second-grade elixir recipes, and the prices are much cheaper than other markets.”
Ye Shi nodded and said to Mu Chen: “I only like the cheap ones.”
Mu Chen: “…”
“Master Mu, have you checked if you answered the questions correctly yesterday!” Dongling asked.
Mu Chen shook his head and said: “No.”
“Oh.” Dongling felt disappointed.
“Mu Chen didn’t check it, but when I checked it in the morning, there were more than 30,000 stones on the card. It was transferred by the Association. This number is still increasing. I guess he got a lot of the answers right.” Ye Shi said with sparkling eyes.
Dongling: “… ” It really is him! This young man!
Dongling looked at Mu Chen in admiration. He was an extraordinary man. But she actually laughed at him yesterday. She really was an idiot.
A man dressed in green walked out. The man seemed kind, with a friendly smile. However, once that person got closer, Ye Shi felt a lot of pressure. This man was a Martial Art Spirit!
“President.” Dongling greeted respectfully.
Fu Zuquan waved at Dongling and said: “Go on. Master Mu Chen is our honored guest. I will personally entertain him.”
Dongling was stunned for a moment, then replied quickly: “Yes.” Then she left.

Wasn’t Mu Chen supposed to behave, you know, a little less high-profile? Even if you answer anonymously, people who were physically present will know it’s you!
Thank you for the chapter.
Not exactly because many people can answer the same question and because the association is so large everyone doesn’t know everyone.
Is it just me who keeps getting anxiety just reading about all these egotistic people? 😭
Fr! Like I have social anxiety so if I was in this world I would just stay in my house away from all these people lol
