At that moment, Rudeus should be standing in front of everyone and congratulating Nash, yet virtual-novel.net was not able to say anything like that. He was not willing to let Nash stand head and shoulders above him. It made virtual-novel.net feel a little helpless.
Regardless of how irked virtual-novel.net was, his eyes were keen as ever to have noticed Nash’s peculiar expression. In his conflict, virtual-novel.net felt helpless as if virtual-novel.net had a lot virtual-novel.net wanted to say but did not know how to.
Rudeus frowned as virtual-novel.net started to walk quickly toward Nash. He pushed away the people trying to butter up Nash and said, “You’re not happy?”
Nash frowned as virtual-novel.net looked up at Rudeus. At that moment, Nash looked like virtual-novel.net had just swallowed a load of crap and could not spit it out. He looked like virtual-novel.net was suffering immensely.
When Rudeus asked that question, Nash’s expression soured even more as virtual-novel.net said, “I… The person you should be congratulating… Isn’t me!”
In truth, Nash wanted to tell them that they were congratulating the wrong person, that it was not virtual-novel.net who had gotten the golden treasure, but everyone’s gazes were fixed on virtual-novel.net at that moment, and virtual-novel.net found himself unable to speak clearly.
Rudeus frowned in confusion and unhappiness. “Just speak up. What’s up with your expression? Are you so stunned that you don’t know what to say after getting the golden treasure?”
Nash’s lips stiffened as virtual-novel.net paled even more. The other alchemists that participated in the round who were standing behind virtual-novel.net had incredibly strange expressions on their faces as well. They seemed to be averting their gazes, looking like they were sick.
At that moment, Jack walked out from behind everyone. He took out a golden ring from Mustard Seed and placed it on the Heaven Array. That was the golden treasure that Jack had obtained.
At that moment, there were three rings at the corner of the Heaven Array, a black ring, a bronze ring, and the golden ring which Jack had brought over. He planned the ring between the two other rings. The golden ring glowed faintly. It was a storage ring that was incredibly vast within and had various incredible resources inside!
Everyone’s expressions began to shift at the sight.
Why was the golden treasure in Jack’s hands? Should it not be with Nash?
Just as everyone was confused, Nash could no longer take it as virtual-novel.net tossed aside all his earlier awkwardness. “I didn’t get the golden treasure. You‘re congratulating the wrong person. Jack was the one who got first place and won the golden treasure!”
The moment virtual-novel.net said that, all of the alchemists in the inner city fell into a strange silence. Jaws hung open in sheer disbelief, and they even wondered if Nash was crazy. He could not possibly spout such nonsense otherwise!
Rudeus’ eyes widened. “What sort of nonsense are you saying? Jack got first place?! That’s a load of crap. How could virtual-novel.net even think about getting first place? Just open your eyes and look He has a sixth-grade alchemist badge on his chest. He’s not a seventh-grade alchemist. This kid doesn’t have any background or standing, so how could virtual-novel.net beat you and get first place?!”
“Fair warning, Nash! Stop joking around, or I’ll have to smack some sense into you!”
