Chapter 167: Maxen will cover my bill for you
Summer camp, Zone C.
The battle started suddenly and ended just as quickly.
According to the previous bet between the two sides, Zone C, as the winner, would take 50% of the resources that originally belonged to Zone A.
Each zone had 500 people, and everyone was initially allocated the same amount of resources.
The special ingredients Anderson usually arranged for Cain were part of these resources.
After defeating Zone A, Mike didn’t stay to flaunt their victory but led his team back to Zone C.
On the way, they happened to run into Kaelum and his group.
“Mike, I missed you so much!”
Kaelum, with his head covered in bumps, startled Mike.
The other seniors looked the same, with varying degrees of welts on their bodies.
Feigning surprise but feeling nothing inside, Mike asked, “Senior, did you encounter abyssal demon creatures?”
“Yes!”
Kaelum gritted his teeth in anger, “Those demon creatures are too sneaky. They sent mosquitoes to bite us!”
Mike nodded repeatedly, agreeing, “That’s terrible. Didn’t you use insect repellent?”
“That’s the most infuriating part!”
Kaelum was fuming, “These mosquitoes are fireproof, waterproof, and immune to insect repellent. They move fast and come in swarms…”
After venting his frustrations, Kaelum said firmly, “I suspect the Abyssal Plane’s technology has greatly improved. I’ve already reported this information!”
Mike wasn’t really listening, just nodding along.
“Yeah, yeah.”
The mosquito issue was set aside. Kaelum quickly changed the topic to the combat test.
After Cain explained the whole story, Kaelum exclaimed, “Is that even possible?!”
Regardless, the result was good.
No one from Zone C was eliminated, and they gained 50% more resources, quickly pulling ahead of the other zones.
Back in Zone C, the team disbanded on the spot.
Mike and his group gathered in the cafeteria to celebrate the victory in the major battle and the combat test.
At Kaelum’s level, the information he received was limited to knowing that Apollo had fought the Abyssal Plane.
After many years, they had fought a fierce battle again.
The result was clear.
Humanity had won a great victory!
As for more details and information, they would have to wait until the front lines stabilized and everything settled down before it was relayed back.

Of course, this didn’t stop Mike and the others from celebrating.
During the meal, Kaelum received a message and was instantly shocked, his face full of disbelief!
“Mike, something big has happened!”
Mike was also surprised, “What big thing?”
Was there something he didn’t know about?
Impossible!
Could it be… Kaelum had discovered that the turtle under the next table was the Fourth Demon God?!
Anderson had been eyeing that turtle for a while. Mike had no doubt he might want to eat it.
“Remember that big thing my nephew mentioned before?”
Kaelum excitedly waved his arms, overjoyed.
He had once taken Mike to meet Joseph.
Joseph had played the role of a riddle master, speaking in half-truths, only telling Kaelum that there was a groundbreaking change that could completely alter the living conditions for wind mages.
“The confidentiality period is over now. My nephew just sent me the skill details. It’s so… so…”
Kaelum thought for a long time, racking his brain, but couldn’t find the words to describe his feelings.
Cain timely offered a suggestion, “Badass?”
“Yes, it’s badass!”
Though crude, it perfectly expressed his emotions.
Kaelum handed his phone to Mike. After reading the ‘shocking’ details, Mike passed it around.
The phone detailed the skill [Wind’s Reach].
After reading it, everyone was as shocked as Kaelum had been, deeply impressed.
“Let me tell you another secret.”
Kaelum tried to contain his excitement, “This skill was created by Thor! Humanity’s fourth potential Supreme Being, Thor! He was also key to this great victory in the abyss!”
Words couldn’t express Kaelum’s excitement. From this one skill alone, he saw the future of wind mages!
To ease everyone’s excitement, Mike took on the role of the mood setter, raising his glass, “Let’s toast to Thor!”
Everyone raised their glasses, “To Thor!”
After downing their juice, Kaelum was still buzzing with excitement, holding his phone.
“Someone just offered to buy [Wind’s Reach] on the Mystic Market. Guess how much?”
Elena tentatively guessed, “300?”
Kaelum nodded, “Yes!”
Elena was incredulous, “I meant 300 thousand gold coins!”
“I meant Battle Lord merits! 300 Battle Lord merits for one copy of Wind’s Reach!”
“…..”
The first half of the conversation was all about the major battle.
The second half was about [Wind’s Reach] and its creator, [Thor].
After eating, it was almost midnight, and everyone returned to their dorms to rest.
The major battle had ended too quickly, in less than half a day.
Mike opened his dorm door, letting the turtle crawl in first before entering himself.
White clouds rose, and Apollo reappeared.
Apollo pointed at the turtle on the ground and asked again, “Do you really not want this?”
Mike firmly replied, “No!”
Apollo nodded, “Then I owe you one.”
After their brief conversation, Mike had gained some understanding of Supreme Being Apollo.
Apollo’s principles were rarely swayed by others.
A favor from a Supreme Being could be big or small.
At this stage, anything Apollo could do for Mike, Shadow Nine or Maxen could also handle.
If possible, Mike thought he should reduce his interactions with Supreme Being Apollo.
He needed to use this favor as soon as possible!
But after thinking it over, Mike couldn’t come up with anything suitable, so he set it aside for now.
The summer camp clock struck.
00:00 AM
Mike asked, “Can I enter the Tower of Truth?”
“Yes.”
The Tower of Truth mark activated, and Mike’s figure disappeared, feeling relieved.
Finally rid of Apollo, Mike was quite happy.
But when Mike appeared in the Core City of Truth, Apollo was right beside him.
“Hello again.”
Mike forced a smile, “Yes, here we are again.”
Apollo said calmly, “No need to be formal, just act naturally.”
Mike, gritting his teeth, walked forward, following his original plan to visit the Wolf’s Den first.
Before the battle, Mike had promised Lone Wolf that he would treat them to drinks after their victory.
A man should keep his promises.
At the Wolf’s Den, a bold idea flashed in Mike’s mind.
Standing at the entrance, Mike looked at Apollo and cautiously asked, “You said you owe me one, right?”
Apollo nodded, “Yes.”
Mike slowly said, “Well, I promised to treat some people to free drinks. Can you cover the bill?”
“Sure.”
Apollo led Mike into the Wolf’s Den, through the crowd, to the bar.
Then he remembered a small detail:
He had no money.
Without money, he couldn’t treat anyone.
Apollo could take out unlimited gold coins from the Tower of Truth, call the Mystic Market Manager to settle the bill, or even just reveal his identity and say a word.
Apollo decided to use the simplest method to solve the problem.
Mike stood by, listening to Apollo say,
“I gave something to Maxen, so he owes me.
I owe you one, so I’ll cover your bill.
Which means, Maxen will cover my bill for you.
This way, we’re all square.”
He made so much sense that Mike couldn’t argue!
The logic was flawless, without any loopholes!
Apollo appeared, looked at the bartender Nyx Valoria, and said clearly,
“Tonight’s expenses at the Wolf’s Den go on Maxen’s tab.”
