Nobilis of War
Chapter 1314 Be Forbearing (Part One)

It turned out that Field Zhou didn't offer his own seventy million points without wanting something in return.

However, Darren was already expecting that. He knew that in the Tussle Region, no one would be so kind as to give such a huge amount for free.

"Let's hear it then," Darren said.

He didn't know how many years it would take him to collect those killing points by himself. It was just that he was in a tight spot, so he would do whatever it took to acquire those points.

"I like your decisiveness. All right, I'll cut to the chase. In the coming days, there will be a hunting game to be organized by the Tussle Holy House. I want you to participate in it for me," Field said straightforwardly.

"A hunting game? Why can't you go there by yourself? You don't look weak to me," Darren answered frankly.

"Well, I just don't want to do anything that will put my life in danger. Plus, if it can be solved by using my points, why would I need to take the risk?

So, are you in?" Field asked for his answer.

Darren thought for a while and then said, "Tell me what exactly you need to achieve in this hunting game and how hard would it be. I need to gauge it before I make any decision."

"All right. Fine by me." Then, Field started explaining. "This hunting game is quite unusual than the ordinary ones. However, the perk is that those who will get the top three positions will be directly qualified to enter the finals of the next Tussle Contest. Thus, I want you to at least get the third place. I just observed your strength earlier. I think you have at least a thirty percent chance of succeeding. So, did you get everything I said?" Field asked.

"Did you just say thirty percent?" Darren answered back with quite an irritated tone.

"Yes. That's not actually bad. With your strength, you may be able to kill ordinary cultivators at the top level of the Star God Realm. Thus, you have about a thirty percent success rate. Moreover, based on my trusted sources, there will be four powerful cultivators that are going to participate in this hunting game too. You have to defeat at least two of them so you can secure the third place," Field continued explaining.

"Well, I'm not interested anymore. You can go by yourself if you want," Darren finally cut in and gave his reply.

"Why? What about the points? Don't you need them anymore?" Field asked with furrowed brows.

"Oh, of course. I want the points more than you can imagine. However, I just found another way to obtain them, thanks to you. Since you said that the cultivators who would place at the top three of this hunting game would qualify into the finals of the next Tussle Contest, I suppose I don't need to work for you anymore. I just need to strive and earn the top three positions by myself. Once I enter the finals of the contest and win, I'll be allowed to leave this region," Darren elaborated with a smirk on his face.

"You cunning son of a bitch!" Field didn't expect that Darren would change his mind that quickly. He had given him too much information, and it was too late to regret now.

However, he wasn't going to give up that easily. "Don't be so naive. Do you really think that it will be that easy for you to attain the top three positions without my help? You're overestimating yourself! You don't even have any information about the powerful cultivators that you're going to compete with. Although they're only at the middle-level of the Star God Realm, they're more than capable of slaughtering the warriors at the top level of the Star God Realm! Do you think you can just barge in there as if you're going for a walk in the park, and then assume that you can take the prize?

No one even knows if there would be any dark horse among the roster of participants. You don't know what you're signing up for." Field attempted to discourage Darren, thinking that he would rethink his decision.

"I'm not that stupid. Of course, I know that it won't be that easy. That's why I won't risk my life for you for only seventy million points. It's a bad deal. Why would I even consider it?" Darren flatly declined. After hearing this, Field's expression instantly changed. It turned out that Darren only had a problem with the number of points that he was offering.

"You should have said so from the start. Well, name your price then," Field said while rubbing his hands and squinting his eyes.

"Give me two billion and seventy million points, and I will guarantee you the first place," Darren declared without hesitation.

He had already calculated this in his mind. If he took the hunting game and the Tussle Contest seriously, it would cost him a lot of time and effort. It was actually more convenient for him if he was just able to leave the region by using the killing points. Since they had three people, Darren actually needed three billion points for the three of them to leave together. Thus, if he would agree with Field's demand, he would require the appropriate amount of points.

"Do you take me for an idiot?! Two billion points? You'll get me the first place? You're out of your damn mind!"

Field was infuriated and felt like Darren was just ridiculing him.

Although the competition only allowed cultivators at the low and middle level of the Star God Realm, there were still countless geniuses among them. He thought that it was preposterous of Darren to promise him the first place just like that. This time, the deal was worse for Field because there was no guarantee that Darren could uphold his promise.

"If you don't want to believe me and you don't want to do it, fine. I'm not forcing you to make the deal. Find someone who's more capable." Darren wasted no time and asked for his divine patterns back.
