Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

"Why are the main quests always so ridiculous?" Zachary sighed, thinking that it would be a good idea to at least give it a try because of the Friendship-enhancing Pill.

Of course, Zachary knew very well that the only way to complete the main quest was to let Polly fall in love with him. Only at that time would she risk everything for him. Although the main quest he was set to carry out this time seemed simpler on the onset, in truth, it was far more troublesome than the one he had with Elva. This was due to the fact that in the previous mission, at the very least, he was a friend of Elva, but Polly treated him as an enemy. The difference was noticeably more concerning.

Zachary was out of his wits on how to carry out his plans, and the only thing he could do now was wait and take one step at a time.

In truth, the quest wasn't the root cause of his troubles. The thing that worried him the most was Sophie. It was obvious that Sophie was desperate to get the marriage contract back, but Katrina had already made a deal with him. So, no matter what Sophie did, he couldn't hand over the marriage contract back to her. Therefore, he was in a dilemma, from which there was no middle course of extrication.

"Whatever! I'll deal with that when I have to. I just need to focus on practicing now!" Zachary decided to stop wasting his time overthinking things as it would do him no good. Instead, he decided to focus his attention on cultivating in the Peach Blossom Forest.

After two days and one night, Zachary finished refining the Cultivation Boosting Pill he had obtained after completing the main quest with Elva, and successfully broke through to the eighth grade of Heaven Level.

Meanwhile, training in the Incredible Space not only helped improve the cultivation levels of the two colleges' freshmen, but also helped them acquire a lot of treasures. There were only a few days left of the one-month exchange period between the two colleges, so the freshmen of both colleges would face off in a big competition, a real competition.

The freshmen of the two colleges had long been at loggerheads and had competed with each other many times before. However, by contrast, Celestial College had suffered more defeats and its overa

e Incredible Space. The thought of giving her some treasures to help improve herself excited him.

However, just as he was about to go back to the disciple dormitory through the woods, a delicate figure suddenly appeared on the path and stood in his way.

"I've finally found you!" Polly glared at Zachary, her eyes brimming with anger. She had been looking for him since she left the Incredible Space with the sole intention of getting even with him.

"Hi, Polly. What's up?" Zachary greeted her calmly.

"Don't pretend like you don't know anything." Polly cast a stern glance at him.

"Pretend? I don't know what you are talking about," Zachary answered.

Polly snapped with anger when she realized that Zachary was playing the fool.

"Polly, if you have nothing else to say, I will leave now." Zachary didn't seem surprised to see Polly as he had already expected her to seek revenge on him for he had seen her half naked in the Incredible Space. Although he had to complete the main quest about Polly to get the Friendship-enhancing Pill, for the moment, he knew clearly that he was unable to finish it for the time being.

"It took me a long time to find you. How can I let you go so easily?" Polly snickered contemptuously.

"What do you want? Are you here to enjoy the view with me?" Zachary crossed his arms over his chest and looked at Polly arrogantly.

"I want you to gouge your eyes out yourself and apologize to me!" Polly suggested, as eyed him silently for a while.
