Chapter 17: Are you sure you put her on trash duty?
<Sneaky Snake System Quest Alert>
<New Quest Available: Upgrade your body by improving at least 4 different properties>
<Reward: 5 Experience points>
Tang Yue stared at the new quest and blinked in amusement.
“Interesting.” She muttered. “These quests are all tailor-made for me.”
With the vast amount of medicinal dregs in her possession, this particular quest didn’t seem difficult at all to her, at least at first glance.
And Tang Yue had already upgraded her body, obtaining 3 new elemental resistances – heat resistance, cold resistance, and lightning resistance.
Combined with her already upgraded poison resistance, she only needed to improve these 4 further.
So this quest was already as good as done!
Tang Yue stuffed a few more mouthfuls of the hodge-podge mush and cleaned herself up before leaving for the association.
…..
Meanwhile…
“He He… Fine I will bet 10 bottles of healing potions. The pampered princess, of course, won’t even dare to turn up today.”
“My sources informed me that she was working pretty late yesterday. She will definitely either turn up late or might not even show up. “
Master Dranuk chuckled and declared his presumptuous assumption to Master Terail, who was standing beside him.
Old elf Terail groomed his beard while revealing an evil glint. He chuckled with a twinkle in his eyes and accepted Master Dranuk’s so-called bet.
Ten more minutes and the victor will be revealed!!
But just as the two old bags were chatting on the huge pavilion, a familiar figure walked past them with an aura that commanded utter respect and submission.
Both Masters immediately bowed and greeted the crown prince in unison. “Good morning, your highness.”
The crown prince nodded in response and proceeded to casually stroll inside the association.
He took a couple of laps around the building and then settled in one of the chambers, quickly starting a random pill forging session.
As soon as his highness left, Master Terail immediately broke into a burst of laughter.
“Now, do you understand that I am the clear winner?” He chuckled at the plight of his friend.
“Damn you, Terail! Aren’t you filthy rich?? Why do you have to cheat me like this, you stingy bastard?!” Master Dranuk gritted his teeth in exasperation.
Since the crown prince is here, of course, the damn consort would come running to the association gates, no matter how tired she felt!!
Not just her, but the other useless flower vases would probably swarm the association today as well.
In fact, he didn’t even have to wait for Tang Yue to arrive to confirm this conjecture.
Just as they were chiding each other, Tang Yue had already arrived promptly for collecting her loot of the day.
She noticed the two old elves arguing loudly with each other at the entrance and nodded politely.
“Greetings seniors.” She then disappeared with a skip to do her daily duties as if it was just another day in her life.
“Are you sure you put her on trash duty??” Master Terail asked scrunching his face in confusion.
In the history of this association, which disciple elf had been this happy to pick up garbage??
Dranuk gritted his teeth in anger.
His hostility towards Tang Yue was only increasing with every passing minute. He frowned at her fading figure in deep thought.
A few seconds later, Dranuk’s private disciple rushed over to him for his daily orders.
“Aren’t you a bit late?” Dranuk barked at his disciple for no apparent reason.
“Master?” The poor disciple asked with a pitiful face. He was confused as to why he was facing his master’s wrath this early in the morning.
Dranuk rudely harrumphed in response. “Others are more diligent than you. Learn to be more obedient. Go brew some healing potions for today.”
By now, old elf Dranuk was shouting at his disciple so loudly that even Tang Yue, who had almost left for her daily trash collection, could clearly hear the ruckus.
“Healing potions?” Her lips curved upward and her cold eyes twinkled with a shine.
Without leaving for her daily chores immediately, Tang Yue thought of something and dilly-dallied around the entrance.
She patiently waited for the flustered disciple, whose ears were now as red as tomatoes. He still kept wondering why his master embarrassed him so early in the morning.
But then again, his master was indeed famous for these random tantrums. So he didn’t dwell on it much and swiftly proceeded to work on his potion brewing.
By giving him an intermediate difficulty potion like the Healing potion, maybe his master was dissatisfied with his fundamentals and was testing him for minor errors??
That must be it. The disciple hurried and busied himself inside a private chamber.
Tang Yue quickly followed him and made a note of the particular room number that Dranuk’s disciple had occupied.
Healing potion definitely required higher grade herbs to brew and so today’s haul was going to be a good one!
With an evident smirk on her face, she trotted on to collect trash from the other practice chambers.
