Chapter 292: Unexpected Result

Fan Ruogang was the first one to put hers in, so her result was the first to come up. Up until now, the best result belonged to a random participant for 22% harmony.

That looked bad in comparison to what everyone was used to making the previous days, but one had to remember that this was the first time they had made this pill. So, it was actually a very good result for them to be able to make a near Earth grade pill on the first try.

As for Fan Ruogang's result, it was the best as of yet. She managed to make a pill with exactly 28% harmony, making it the best until now.

Han Long was second and his result was actually better. Fan Ruogang humphed quite audibly when she saw Han Long's pill harmony reached 29%. He had won over her result with a single percentage.

Huang Fu was next and his result stunned the entire stage and competitors. He surprisingly managed to reach a high harmony of 41% on a pill he had never seen or made before. That just went to show the terrifying level of ability this man held regarding Alchemy.

Zhou Mei was next and honestly, no one was expecting anything from her. She wasn't a well-remembered figure from the previous matches as her only notable achievement was getting third place in the speed pill-making competition.

In fact, even she herself was doubtful of what she had made, but when the result came back that she had actually managed to make a pill with 35% harmony, she was exhilarated.

A big smile came upon her face as she learned that she had won 2nd place.

The people from the Hong Wu sect cheered when they saw that, and Fan Ruogang went to give her a big hug for winning.

The host announced the results to the audience and the sect accepted her with open arms.

"Great job you girls. Ah, you did not bad yourself, disciple Song. 11th place is not bad at all, " the second elder said.

The male disciple felt a little better after hearing that.

The rest of the sect members congratulated them when they came to the seating area. The group quietened down for a few minutes when the second elder said something.

"Sect leader, there is nothing interesting happening today, so can't we simply leave?" he said.

Ma Rong didn't immediately say anything and looked at the other's reaction. It seemed everyone was really bored today.

"Sigh, alright. There is nothing worth watching, so we will leave for today," Ma Rong said and stood up to leave.

Alex stood up as well and looked towards the Tiger sect to say goodbye if they saw him, but surprisingly, they had already left.

'Well, I can't fault them for that,' Alex thought. He left the coliseum and as usual, Ma Rong asked if anyone wanted to leave on their own instead of returning to the hotel.

Alex thought for a bit and realized that he didn't need to return to the hotel since he didn't have to leave the capsule at all. Since he wouldn't feel hungry for nearly 2 more days, he was free to stay inside the game for just that amount of time.

"I will leave today, master," Alex said and said his goodbyes. Surprisingly, Zhou Mei also decided to take a leave and walked in the same direction as Alex.

Alex was taking the road to the Alchemy hall when he noticed Zhou Mei following behind him. So he slowed down for her to catch up to him.

"Do you need something?" Alex asked when she finally caught up to him.

Zhou Mei fidgeted a bit and finally spoke up. "Yes, I… I want to say something," she said.

"Very well, please speak," Alex said.

"I… " Zhou Mei stopped for something and continued, "I'm sorry. I apologize for all the hurtful things I said to you before. I had thought that you were given everything for free before, and advanced to where you were at the time because of it."

"But I never realized how wrong I was. There is no way a person can make such an amazing pill as the one you made yesterday simply by being given everything."

"So, now I've come to respect your talent and want to apologize for holding a grudge against you," she said.

Alex was very surprised to hear all of this. Honestly, he held a negative view of her until today. He felt that she was petty and couldn't see things from any other perspective than her own. But it seemed that he was wrong and that she was more than just a hateful person.

You really couldn't understand a person just by looking at them or even meeting them for a while. Everyone was different on the inside, it just took some time for their real self to show themselves.

Thus, Alex smiled and decided to forgive her. "It's okay. I can see where you were coming from. I accept your apology," he said.

Zhou Mei seemed to have a massive load taken off her head as she sighed in relief and bowed toward Alex. "Thank you for forgiving me," she said.

Alex was a little taken aback. He already forgave her, so he wasn't sure what more he could say. "Uh… we are in the middle of the street. Please get up." He hurriedly went forward to grab her by her shoulders and get her up.

"Aww… that was so sweet. I didn't know you had a grudge against Mingming, Meimiei. At least you apologized and that is what is important," Fan Ruogang spoke from the side of the road.

"Fanfan, what are you doing here?" Zhou Mei's face immediately went red with shame when she saw her standing there.

"Hehe, you guys left, so I also wanted to join you guys. Thus I came here. Look, I brought him too," she said as she pulled out Wen Li who was hiding behind her.

"So, now that you are done apologizing, where are we going?"
