No matter what kind of association of superpowers it is, the hierarchy is usually strict. Except for some staff, strength is usually respected in places like this. Purifier apprentices are not qualified to challenge intermediate purifiers.
However, in order not to completely block the way for people at the bottom, and to prevent people in high positions from being overly oppressed, the association still retains a legal way to resolve personal grievances, which is the battle of honor.
Theoretically speaking, a battle of honor can occur between any two or more purifiers. However, looking at the previous examples, almost all of them were contests between the same level. No one has ever tried to challenge a person by leapfrogging the level.
Yes, skipping a level. In the eyes of some uninformed people, Lin Nuo is at most a junior purifier, while Zhang Ming is a definite intermediate purifier. Even though he has not made any breakthroughs in these years, who knows where he has reached the intermediate level. Maybe there is just a thin line between him and the senior purifier.
After all, two purifiers of the same level have different proficiencies, and the fruits they purify are also very different.
Lin Nuo raised the challenge and took the initiative in her hands. If Zhang Ming became a judge, he would definitely criticize her purification results, and perhaps use some despicable means in the process. In this case, it is better to drag the other party from the cloud to a position level with yourself. It will be difficult to do anything in front of everyone.
Zhang Ming pondered, ignoring the gazes of the onlookers. He looked at Lin Nuo with a somewhat confused look, unsure of what trump card the other party had.
Song En took half a step forward, leaned into Zhang Ming’s ear, and whispered four words: “Thorn tomato.”
Zhang Ming suddenly realized that if this was the plan, he might have fallen into the trap. Thinking that he had figured out the reason why Lin Nuo had the confidence to speak out loud, Zhang Ming showed a proud look, touched the gray beard on his lips, and spoke proudly.
“Yes, but I have a condition.”
Lin Nuo raised his chin arrogantly and said concisely: “Say.”
Zhang Ming: “You and I each choose 10 kinds of fruits and vegetables for purification. The types cannot be the same. After purification, we will choose different quality and quantity. How about half of it as the evaluation criterion?”
Lin Nuo immediately understood what Zhang Ming meant. The other party probably thought that she was only good at purifying thorn tomatoes, or that she could only use some method to “purify” thorn tomatoes.
“Okay. Where’s the bet?” Lin Nuo asked.
Zhang Ming immediately replied: “The loser will worship the winner as his teacher and obey the orders within five years. How about that?”
Lin Nuo shook her head: “No way.”
Zhang Ming’s pride was palpable: “Are you afraid?”
Lin Nuo continued shaking her head: “I’m not afraid. I just feel disgusting. If you want to be my teacher, you can just say so. There is no need to use this kind of forceful buying and selling method.”
Zhang Ming laughed angrily: “Hahaha, you have such a loud tone. Are you sure that you can win? Little girl, I have eaten more salt than you have walked. I would like to advise you not to speak so harshly, and you are not afraid of Feng Da’s tongue flashing.”
Lin Nuo glanced at him and said calmly: “Then you are lucky enough to have survived until now.”
“Pfft–”
Someone couldn’t help laughing. Seeing Zhang Ming looking towards him angrily, he quickly lowered his head and looked to the side. No matter how happy he felt, he could only hold it in for now.
With such an episode, Zhang Ming didn’t want to verbally pressure Lin Nuo, so he directly changed his bet: “Then the loser will automatically withdraw from the Purifier Association after apologizing in public, and will never apply to join again. How about that?”
Lin Nuo nodded this time: “Okay. You are older, I don’t want to ask you to kowtow and bow, just go and get out of the formalities. What do you think?”
“You are young, but I want you to kowtow and apologize.”
Lin Nuo shrugged: ” Okay… then, can you please make a contract or something like that if you don’t participate in the test?”
The leader stood up and explained: “No need, the battle of honor is always conducted in public, and all the audience are the judges. After the winner is decided, no matter whether the two sides win or lose, they cannot go back on their words – the association has a dedicated person responsible for supervising the execution. The bet must be fulfilled… Of course, the bet cannot violate interstellar laws, which is something to be avoided when making an agreement.”
Lin Nuo nodded to express understanding and asked: “Then the bet between us is not illegal, right?”
The president smiled particularly kindly: “Of course it’s not against the rules. The Purifier Association never prevents members from voluntarily leaving – but is your bet limited to this planet, or does it include all Purifier Associations in the federation?”
Zhang Ming didn’t wait for Lin Nuo to speak and interrupted: “Of course it belongs to the Federation. Otherwise, if you quit here and join on another planet, what would be the point of this bet?”
The president looked at Lin Nuo and saw that she also agreed with Zhang Ming. said, so he nodded, repeated the battle of honor between the two in a formal way, and then announced the official start of this test.
In the area where fruits and vegetables are placed, there are two high-power testers scanning at all times. Their function is to detect the toxicity of fruits and vegetables and display them on a self-contained screen for everyone in the form of images and colors.
There is a miniature scale image on it, which is currently all red, indicating that the toxin is still there and is dangerous to eat. When the purified fruits and vegetables are put over, the color displayed on the screen after scanning is green, indicating that the purification is complete and can be eaten with confidence.
The people who participated in the test hurriedly ran over to choose the types of fruits and vegetables they were good at, while Lin Nuo watched unhurriedly from the side and even had time to ask the president about the detailed advanced rules.
The president was happy to answer Lin Nuo: “Becoming a purifier apprentice is very simple. As long as you awaken your powers and independently purify any kind of food, you can register in the association as an apprentice. Of course, the size of the food still needs to be calculated. Fruits and vegetables are counted as whole individuals, and meat must be at least 100 grams.”
Lin Nuo blinked and looked at the two people in the venue who were working hard on the potatoes, and their faces turned red. But the small detector on the table still didn’t respond, and the red pattern still appeared on the screen.
The president also saw it and shook his head regretfully: “This is the second time this year that the two of them have come. It seems that they are still a little short of promotion.”
Lin Nuo asked: “What about the requirements for other levels of purifiers?”
The president turned his attention to another girl. There were already three kinds of fruits and vegetables on the table in front of her, and the color on the detector was green. He nodded approvingly and pointed his finger at Lin Nuo: “Junior Purifier requires more than 5 types, each of which can complete at least 10 kilograms. Did that little girl see that? That’s almost it.”
After that, he said again Looking towards Zhang Ming, the robot had already delivered the things he had chosen to his table. They were piled high and looked more impressive than others.
The president said calmly: “As for the intermediate level, there are more than 20 types, each weighing at least 50 kilograms.”
Lin Nuo then glanced at the situation in the venue. Everyone except her had finished selecting materials, and only piled them on the table. The person wearing it should be at the level of an apprentice. There are several separate baskets next to the table for beginners who want to advance to the intermediate level.
The ingredients next to Zhang Ming are the largest, with a wide variety of ingredients, and the quantity can be estimated to be at least a thousand kilograms. Next to him was Song En, who had danced very hard before. There were very few things on the table, and he was blushing, but there were also several baskets piled next to him, with 5 types of ingredients in them, as if he wanted to wait for purification.
Lin Nuo narrowed her eyes and looked at Zhang Ming again, knowing the other party’s plan. He wanted to take advantage of everyone’s unpreparedness to cause some trouble so that he could make an exchange and help Song En pass this test.
Before she could figure out how to remind the president, the other party followed her gaze and saw it. He directly waved over several staff members and gave them some instructions before letting them go to work.
Then, Lin Nuo saw someone pushing a few movable barriers over to block Zhang Ming’s food area and Song En’s area.
Zhang Ming’s heart sank, knowing that someone had seen through his plan. He looked up angrily and saw the president talking to Lin Nuo with a smile. He immediately believed that the other party was causing trouble, and his resentment grew even higher. However, at this point, he couldn’t think of a way to help Song En for the time being. He could only concentrate on dealing with the fruits and vegetables in his hands, planning to win first.
Even if that little girl is a junior… no, intermediate purifier, she must have just been promoted, how many things can she purify? As long as we have the upper hand in terms of quantity, as for quality… Well, it’s not up to people to have the final say.
In the past, people were flocking to the food they purified, and that little girl couldn’t take advantage. Even if her thorn tomatoes and strawberries were delicious, if she focused on one kind for a long time, she might not be good at the others.
This competition is a sure win, and as long as he wins, Zhang Ming will still be an intermediate purifier that the association cannot do without. Arranging Song En is easy.
Zhang Ming had a good idea, but Lin Nuo didn’t give him this chance at all.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Lin Nuo walked slowly into the venue. She walked to the food area and did not rush to choose. Instead, she walked around in a circle first, then turned around and looked back, and spoke to everyone in a loud voice. .
“Excuse me, does anyone still want to get the ingredients?”
No one responded, and a few even frowned, thinking that Lin Nuo was deliberately mischievous and wanted to disrupt everyone’s concentration.
Lin Nuo raised his eyebrows and asked again, but still no one answered. When she asked the question for the third time, someone finally had a bad temper and couldn’t help but speak. She still remembered that it was an open test, but her tone was a bit stiffer, and she didn’t include any unpleasant words.
“No! It’s all done, you can do whatever you want!”
After hearing this, Lin Nuo patted her chest gently with her right hand, let out a small breath, and showed a reassuring smile: “That’s great, then I don’t have to worry. Some people will fail because the quantity is not enough.”
After saying this, Lin Nuo placed her hand on the orange closest to her, closed her eyes, and a soft green light appeared in her palm, growing from small to large, covering the food area. Not even one of the oranges inside was left.
A few seconds later, everyone stared at the screen of the testing instrument in stunned silence. All the orange patterns on it turned green, indicating that the purification was completed.
Immediately after, strawberries, bananas, cabbage, potatoes, eggplants, cucumbers, cherries, pineapples, peaches and other fruits and vegetables were also purified one by one. Everyone was surprised when they saw the images on the screen that turned green every few seconds by type. They were speechless.
This, this is too strong.
A hundred intermediate purifiers bundled together can’t keep up with one of her. What’s more, the outcome has been decided when Lin Nuo took action.
