Early the next morning, Chu Mo arrived at the Martial Artist Supply Hall inside the base.
This was a place that Martial Artists in Luyang Base had to go to before heading to the wilderness. It was here that most shops where Martial Artists could buy the best priced and quality weapons and equipment. They could even sell the Ferocious Beast Materials they obtained.
In addition, Martial Artists could also accept missions here.
Some forces and individuals would post missions, inviting Martial Artists to help complete them in the wilderness. After fulfilling the conditions, they could obtain mission rewards.
Generally, when many hunting teams went to the wilderness to hunt, they would casually accept a few missions to earn some extra Spirit Stones on the side.
To put it simply, it was similar in nature to a Martial Artist Guild.
As for Chu Mo coming here, he planned to purchase some necessities for living in the wilderness.
The hall was bustling with people coming and going.
Chu Mo took a casual glance and entered a relatively large shop.
“Esteemed guest, how may I assist you?” A shop attendant walked over and respectfully said, “Our Jade Pavilion sells various items, from Recovery and Energy Restoration Pills to buying and selling Ferocious Beast Materials. All at a fair price with no deception!”
“I plan to go to the wilderness and want to buy some necessities for living there. Any recommendations?” Chu Mo asked.
The shop attendant smiled, “Then I must recommend our shop’s wilderness survival kit. It contains Recovery, Energy Restoration Pills and Concealment Pills, plus Insect Repellent, Reinforced Tent, dry meat, Compact Ferocious Beast Meat, SOS Flares, and other wilderness survival supplies. Almost every Martial Artist will bring a set along. This set is basically the most popular item we have!”
Chu Mo took a look and felt pleased with its contents so he didn’t hesitate and directly bought a set.
One survival kit cost 300 Spirit Stones. Chu Mo also additionally purchased some other Recovery and Energy Restoration Pills, spending a total of about 600 Spirit Stones. Only then did he leave with the shop attendant’s respectful gaze sending him off.
Spirit Stones were precious. Being able to take out 600 Spirit Stones with a calm expression, seeming indifferent, undoubtedly meant he was a powerful Martial Artist.
As for why Chu Mo was calm, it was mainly because these Spirit Stones all came from Zhou Qi. They were a windfall. Even if spent, he wouldn’t feel distressed.
He had placed these survival supplies in his storage bag.
With all preparations complete, Chu Mo planned to leave the hall and head to the wilderness.
But just then, he suddenly heard discussions coming from not far away.
“Please help me, I’m begging you!” A thin little girl stood in front of a Martial Artist, pleading desperately.
That young Martial Artist had a face full of difficulty as he said, “It’s not that I don’t want to help you, it’s just that your mission is too hard… The Two-Headed Python is a Mid-Tier Level 2 Ferocious Beast. It requires at least a Mid-Stage Martial Artist to kill. I simply can’t beat it. Besides, the mission reward you are offering is just a useless Ferocious Beast Egg that can’t even hatch… I’m truly powerless to help you. Sorry.”
With that said, the young Martial Artist hurriedly left.
The other Martial Artists also ignored this little girl, taking a wide berth around her.
Seeing this situation, a Martial Artist who was originally standing not far from Chu Mo sighed, “This little girl is really pitiful… Her parents died when she was young and she became an orphan. Later she was adopted, but who knew that after a few years, her foster mother also fell ill in bed. When it rains, it really pours. To save her foster mother, this little girl has been coming here for many days, begging. It is unfortunate but no one had and will take on the mission she posted. A Two-Headed Python is just too strong. With its whereabouts being hidden, making it very difficult to find and hunt, it is too hard of a mission!”
“How tragic!”
“Speaking of which, this little girl is only offering a pet egg as a mission reward. I heard she’s been trying to hatch it since she was little, for more than ten years without success. It might actually have some background to it!”
“You believe that too? It’s nothing more than an ordinary pet egg. If it was really something good, how could that little girl have fallen to this state?”
“True!”
Several nearby Martial Artists discussed in low voices.
Chu Mo listened, his eyes flashing.
After some thought, he stepped forward and walked over.
…
Su Xiaoxiao sat on the ground in utter despair. Her foster mother was seriously ill. The doctor said she needed the Two-Headed Python’s heart to treat it.
But the Two-Headed Python was powerful. Ordinary Martial Artists would face great difficulty when dealing with it.
She couldn’t offer a generous reward to invite powerful Martial Artists to hunt it. She could only take out the Ferocious Beast Egg she had carried with her since childhood, hoping someone would take a liking to it and accept this mission.
But unfortunately, everyone thought this Ferocious Beast Egg was defective, something couldn’t hatch. So, even after half a month pleading, the mission she posted still had no takers.
The doctor said her foster mother’s body didn’t have many days left. If they delayed any longer…
“Hello, is this mission still available?”
Just as Su Xiaoxiao was nearly in despair, a cool voice suddenly rang out beside her ear.
Su Xiaoxiao subconsciously lifted her head and saw a young man with a clean and handsome appearance standing in front of her.
She froze for a moment, but quickly reacted, saying with some surprise and joy, “Yes, this mission is still available!”
Over half a month, this was the first time someone had inquired in such a manner. This made Su Xiaoxiao feel hopeful, but she was so afraid she misheard it she cautiously confirmed, “You, you want to accept this mission?”
“Yes.” Chu Mo nodded.
Coincidentally, the place he was going this time was right in a Two-Headed Python’s territory, so it was convenient for him.
Receiving Chu Mo’s affirmation, Su Xiaoxiao immediately wept with joy and hurriedly said, “Thank you, Martial Artist Sir. Thank you!”
“You’re welcome.” Chu Mo said.
Afterwards, Su Xiaoxiao led Chu Mo to officially accept this mission.
After completing all this, only then did Chu Mo leave the hall.
“Someone actually accepted this mission?”
“Probably an idiot, right?”
“The Two-Headed Python is a Level 2 Ferocious Beast. Not to mention the difficulty of slaying it, just the price of its heart isn’t low. Exchanging it for a Ferocious Beast Egg that can’t hatch… It is a horrendous deal!”
“It’s possible the guy just wants to do a good deed.”
Su Xiaoxiao’s mission was quite well-known in the Supply Hall.
Now that the mission was accepted, it naturally stirred up some small-scale discussion.
And just on one side of the hall, a tall girl with a gentle temperament, looking only eighteen or nineteen years old, stopped in her tracks.
“Miss, do you need me to stop that young man?” Beside her, an old woman said in a low voice.
This old woman was wearing green robes with three gold leaves embroidered on her chest. If someone had sharp eyes, they would recognize that this green leaf was the emblem of Luyang Base’s major force, the Jade Pavilion Trade Union.
Having one green leaf on their chest meant being a Martial Apprentice!
Two meant being a Martial Artist!
Having three gold leaves represented an expert with strength comparable to a Martial Master!
And now, this Martial Master was being extremely respectful to the young lady beside her!
It was hard to imagine just what status this young lady had!
Hearing the old woman’s words, the young lady shook her head and said, “Since someone has already accepted it first, then there’s no need for us to take action!”
The old woman nodded.
The young lady continued, “Speaking of which, this young man’s character is not bad… This mission is clearly more trouble than it’s worth, yet he still took it. In this era, it’s quite rare.”
“Quite rare indeed!” The young lady nodded, her gaze looking in the direction Chu Mo left, revealing a hint of appreciation.
