The Immortal's Wine Store Chapter 274
Advertisement
After the death of the demon soldier, there were no longer any major events inside the World of Illusion. The applicants continue to hunt for lesser demons, but some still chose to rob the other applicants using their superior strengths. However, the vast majority chose to stay in groups to maximize their hunting efficiency and also to prevent themselves from being robbed by others.
Beiming Chu who was severely injured was helped by his friends to collect his own share of tokens. To this gesture, he was grateful that they did not leave him behind. He was happy that his little bit of sacrifice was worth it.

On the other hand, Sylphie remained hunting alone, so she took quite a bit more time to collect her remaining tokens.
"It's finally over." Lu Sulan muttered as she checked the time. She then took out something and pressed it hard.
The power of the Tree of Illusion was removed and the applicants slowly woke up one by one from that dream world.
Everyone was still very confused as they propped themselves up. What had happened? They were perplexed about how they were taken out from the World of Illusion. Some of the smarter applicants connected the dots and they were able to guess what might have happened to them during the last few days.
After everyone woke up, Lu Sulan clapped her hands to get their attention.
Clap!
The applicants turned their gazes towards her and waited for her to explain what happened.
Lu Sulan's expression remained calm when she saw everyone's bewildered faces. She then started talking. "I know every one of you is curious about what had happed, so let me explain this to everyone. All of you were taken to the World of Illusion with the help of this Tree of Illusion. In that world, you were tasked to look for tokens that can only be taken after killing a lesser demon. And to my surprise, more than 90% of you managed to pass this test. I will show the names of those who passed this assessment. As for those whose names aren't shown on the screen, you may leave this place."

Lu Sulan waved her hand and a huge screen appeared in front of everyone. There were three rows on the screen, the first one was labeled as names, the next was the number of tokens that the applicants have, and the last label was their final remark (Pass, Fail).
Everyone stared intently at the screen and began searching for their names. The applicants who passed the assessment were jubilant, while the few who failed shook their heads in regret.
"I was so close to getting all the tokens. Too bad..." One of them said with a sad expression.
"Wait, how come I passed the assessment? I'm one token short of the required amount, so why did I get a passing remark?" One of the applicants asked in surprise when he saw his results.
"Yeah, me too! I'm three tokens short, but I also passed! Is this true?!" Another applicant voiced out his words with an excited tone.
The other applicants were confused about the whole matter. How come those guys passed the assessment when they failed to get the required amount of tokens?
"I don't accept this! Why did they get a passing remark?!" A bulky young man said with displeasure written all over his face.
Facing all their words, Lu Sulan remained indifferent. She scanned her icy gaze through the crowd, making all those who were clamoring to shut their mouths.
"There is a bonus reward inside the World of Illusion, and it is given to those killed the only demon soldier inside. Those who passed this assessment despite lacking in tokens participated in killing that demon soldier. Any more words?" Lu Sulan said in a cold tone.
So that was it? Everyone was finally enlightened after Lu Sulan explained the whole matter. As for those who voiced out their displeasure, they hid among the crowd in embarrassment.

"Hahaha! This father was right to join His Highness in killing that demon soldier! Great!"
"Goddammit! I should have joined those guys to kill that stupid demon!"
Prince Dante and his friends looked at each other with smiles on their faces.
"Brother Beiming, it is a good thing that we were transported into that World of Illusion. If not, it might take you more than a month to recover from that injury." Zhu Ren said in relief.
Beiming Chu's shoulders turned cold when he heard his words. He was right! His injuries at that time were too severe that he even had a hard time walking.
"Don't do that kind of thing again, Brother Beiming. Your Beiming Family's body strengthening technique might be powerful, but who knows what might happen in the future. You have to be extra careful." Prince Dante patted his friend's shoulder as he said those words.
Princess Sylvia nodded her head in agreement, but she still glared at her brother. "You're one to talk! You foolishly charged towards that demon soldier alone! I never thought you were that crazy! Hmph!"
Prince Dante scratched the back of his head in embarrassment as he appeased the raging little demoness.
Looking at this, Zhu Ren and Beiming Chu chuckled heartily.
"Silence!" Lu Sulan said in a cold tone.
All the applicants immediately shifted their gazes to this beautiful elder, but they did not dare have any lecherous thoughts about her. Who would dare do that when the woman in front of them was the disciple of the renowned Sect Master Jiu Shen?! Only a retard would provoke her...
"The third assessment will be held tomorrow morning. Make sure that none of you will be late. All of you may now go back to your rooms." Lu Sulan said before leaving the scene.
The assessment passers excitedly talked with their new friends as they went back to their rooms.
Long Meili who was standing on top of the Tree of Illusion's branch stared at Sylphie's lone back with many thoughts in her head.

Re:Mento Mori
When Ryuji, a disgruntled salaryman, is supposed to reach an unfortunate end, he is instead thrust into a new world, inhabiting a body that isn't his own. Forced into a world filled with strife and death, can he claim freedom and happiness? Or will his turbulent new life only lead to suffering and pain? As with every time-loop story written by an amateur author, this is heavily inspired by Re:Zero. If I had to explain my book, I would say imagine Re:Zero, but the main character can actually fight people instead of just getting merked every time he meets someone with a weapon. The themes of this story are dark, so be forewarned. This is my first story so keep that in mind while reading it.
