As if it had only been one night, the thick fragrance of the Ancient Dragon Tree filled the entire Kun Pavilion.
The strange fragrance of flowers was alluring and also aroused the desire of the mud people in the Kun Pavilion.
The young girl in love was like a flower bud that could not wait to bloom, exuding the charm of youth. The young boys were like frogs in the pond, singing and singing, full of passion. They couldn't help but look for their favorite objects and fall into love in pairs.
Huizi was no exception. Every day, other than scanning the Miaozhu in the box, her gaze was constantly searching for Wei Zi's figure. Looking at his busy back, her heart was filled with tenderness.
She had long felt that Wei Zi was secretly in love with her, and she had been waiting for him to confess his love to her.
Every morning, Wei Zi was busy checking all the boxes of the Mudmen carefully and recording the number of pearls in each box. After he was done with this, he would help his subordinates whenever they asked for it. He did not stop for a second until he was drenched in sweat and then sprinkled his sweat on the pearls that needed to be moistened.
Inspired by his diligence and hard work, many of the Mudmen put down their arrogance and sincerely tried their best to take care of and protect each Miao Pearl.
Just like that, as time passed, the flowers on the Ancient Dragon Tree began to wither and fall. The deadline was approaching, and Wei Zi was gratified to see that the number of pearls for the seventy-five Mudmen remained above five hundred. This meant that seventy-five Mudmen would be able to clear the stage by then. They were already one step into the Moon Pavilion.
While Wei Zi was happy for them, he was also secretly worried for Huizi.
Ever since the fierce wind had attacked Sesame Town at the bottom of the valley, the number of pearls in the box had been greatly reduced. There were only about three hundred pearls left. Although her tears and sweat could preserve the remaining pearls, it was indeed very difficult to increase the number of pearls in her box to five hundred.
He knew that Hui Zi wanted to find her parents wholeheartedly. Only when she reached the highest level of the Sun Pavilion and transformed into a stone man could she realize this wish.
How could he not want to find his father? However, his current situation was not much better than Huizi's. He was also facing the eliminated Dao Realm.
If what the masked woman said was true, then he would need 80 Mudmen to pass the test. But now, even if 75 Mudmen passed the test successfully, he was still short of five.
However, there were still three people who had not shown their faces. They were Wei Zi, Zhang Zi, and You Zi. These three people had not reported to the control center for a few days, so he was unable to find out the situation of the pearls in their boxes.
Taking a step back, even if the three of them had more than 500 pearls, there would only be 78 people in total. Two was still a small number. However, only Wei Zi knew that with the deadline approaching day by day, and with the unpredictable weather, it would be difficult to help the two Mudmen pass the test as soon as possible!
Ever since he entered the Kun Pavilion and became the leader for no reason, he had been busy and worried day and night. He worried endlessly about the Miao pearls in the boxes, the 165 mud men under him, and his own future.
It could be said that his boss looked better than anyone else, but in fact, he worked harder than a donkey, slept less than a dusty person, woke up earlier than the sun, finished work later than the moon, and had to pretend to be better than his grandson. He might even die more miserably than his subordinates.
There might not be any gains in giving, and if one did not give, there would definitely be no gains!
Therefore, even though he might face the fate of failure in the end, he was still so busy that he forgot to eat and sleep every day. He almost worked hard and persevered until the last moment of the deadline!
Early in the morning, Wei Zi was busy in the control center again. He busily checked and registered all the boxes that were sent over. He was the only one left in the control center.
He was thinking about something in his heart. Just as he was about to look for Huizi, he saw Weizi carrying a box and reporting to him. He was like a duck strolling through the streets as he swaggered in. His eyes seemed to grow on the top of his head, looking down on everyone!
He placed the box in his hand heavily in front of Wei Zi, acting like a nouveau riche. He didn't even look at Wei Zi, but only looked at him disdainfully. Then, he ordered,
"Hey, count, there's enough for you to count! I have more than a thousand pearls in my hands now, and each of them is full and solid!”
At this moment, Zhang Zi, who had arrived late, walked in with a box in his hand. His eyes were blurry from sleep, as if he had not woken up from his dream.
He put down the box, rubbed his fingers, and stretched his back before boasting to Wei Zi,"
"So heavy! Did you know? There are too many pearls in my box. I guarantee you'll see stars when you count them! Forget it, why don't I just tell you the number? Listen carefully-a total of 1,500! I'll pass without a problem!"
Wei Zi blinked his eyes in disbelief. These two must be catfish sneezing-bragging!
Just as he was about to open the box to check, he heard You Zi's voice coming from outside the door.
"Sorry, I'm late!"
You Zi ran in with a smug look on her face. She could not hide her excitement, and she looked like a hollow grain!
When Wei Zi saw him, he was puzzled. What were these three people up to? They had been missing for a few days, but they had appeared together today!
"You Zi, I haven't seen you for such a long time. Where have you been hiding?”Wei Zi ignored the arrogant Wei Zi and the annoying Zhang Zi. He only greeted You Zi.
"Me? I'm wandering around and sightseeing!”
"The deadline is getting closer and closer. It's rare that you're still in the mood to play.”
"I don't have to worry at all! Look, now, I have more than a thousand pearls!”You Zi said as she opened the box proudly.
When Wei Zi and Zhang Zi, who were standing at the side, heard this, they were even more surprised than Wei Zi. The three of them looked at the box that You Zi had opened.
Wei Zi first counted You Zi's box. There were indeed 1,300 pearls. In other words, not only did the pearls in his box not decrease, but there were also 300 more pearls than before!
Wei Zi and Zhang Zi looked at each other. They thought that only they had more than 1,000 pearls in their boxes. They did not expect that there was also You Zi. Moreover, his pearls were also full and sturdy!
Wei Zi revealed his dissatisfaction. You Zi was actually on par with him, so he questioned You Zi rudely,
"How did you do it, you stinky bastard?”
You Zi avoided Wei Zi's stern gaze and did not intend to answer. She hurriedly picked up the box and said with a smile as she walked,
"Hehe, I've finished checking my box. I have no business here. Everyone, I'll take my leave first! The scenery in the Kun Pavilion was too beautiful. He needed to slowly appreciate it!”
He disappeared as if his butt was on fire.
Next, Wei Zi started to take inventory of Zhang Zi's box. When he opened Zhang Zi's box, the three people present were stunned.
The pearls in his box were packed tightly together, almost full. It looked like there were more pearls than in You Zi's box.
Zhang Zi's words were like a stone hammer hitting a stone stake. It was the truth and not an exaggeration. This was a rare thing. In fact, he had even understated the number of pearls. After carefully counting the pearls, Wei Zi spent more than an hour counting the last pearl at the bottom of the box. Wei Zi's eyes almost blurred and his hands ached before he finally counted the number of pearls in his box. There were a total of 2,100 pearls!
Wei Zi was not the only one who was stunned. Wei Zi was also jealous. Even Zhang Zi himself was dumbfounded. He shook his head repeatedly and muttered in disbelief,
"2,100? Was it really 2,100? I have counted it before, and not just once, but two or three times. It was always 1,500! Could it be that I…"
Wei Zi's heart was seriously out of balance. Seeing that Zhang Zi had so many pearls, much more than him, he was furious. He took the opportunity to scold,
"You square club, stupid! You don't even know how to count, and you still have the face to say that?! Why don't you go back to school and learn math again!"
Zhang Zi felt wronged, but he couldn't do anything about it. The reason why he had so many beads was because of Wei Zi's underhanded tricks!
Wei Zi silently lowered his head to record Zhang Zi's number. When he bent down to take the register, he caught a glimpse of a stone in the corner of Zhang Zi's box. He took it out and looked at it. Surprised, he asked Zhang Zi,
"So this stone is in your hands? I've been looking for it for a long time. Why is it in your box?”
Zhang Zi looked at the stone and his eyes rolled around. He regretted it. If he had known earlier, he would have thrown this useless stone into the grass! He stammered,
"I…I saw it at your place the other day and thought it was fun, so I played with it in my hand. Actually, it's not fun at all.”
"It has sharp edges and corners. Play with it. Be careful not to hurt your fingers!”
Wei Zi didn't blame him. As he spoke, he carefully put the stone into his cloth bag.
Wei Zi saw the stone in Wei Zi's hand and used the topic to point at the mulberry tree and scold the locust tree,"
"You are really stupid. You don't even care about a piece of broken stone. You actually hid it in the box like a treasure. You think the box is not heavy enough!”
"Boss is right. It's all my fault for being stupid back then!”
Wei Zi was already used to Wei Zi's sarcasm and pretended not to hear it. He silently walked to Wei Zi's box and opened it to check.
The number of pearls in Wei Zi's box was 1523. He did not brag this time!
From the looks of it, the three of them had more than five hundred pearls, so passing the test was almost certain.
Wei Zi's heart was filled with a sour, salty, and astringent feeling. He couldn't describe what it was.
He didn't know if he was happy for the three people who had passed the test, or sad for himself who was facing elimination, or sad for Huizi and the Mudmen who were about to be eliminated.
When he thought of Huizi, he remembered something, so he said to Wei Zizhang,"
"I've already registered your numbers. If you two have nothing else to do, you can leave!”
Before Wei Zi left, he did not forget to mock Wei Zi,"
"Haha, who told me to wait and see? Did you see that? From then on, I could rest easy, but someone else turned into a wild cat and became worse and worse. How tragic! I'm just waiting for that day to see a good show!”
