Chapter 27: Misunderstanding

The mermaid and Mo Xiaobai stared at each other for a moment without saying anything. Then, the mermaid finally opened her mouth, and said in a slightly astounded tone, “Mister, do you still have other elite exceptional ingredients?”

Mo Xiaobai rolled his eyes. “If I don’t have any, why will I ask you?”

The mermaid was speechless. She felt that her brain wasn’t working properly.

Who on earth was this person?

The information stored in his adventurer’s badge said that he was only 16 years old!

Also, he’d just completed the adventurer’s registration a few days ago!

How could it be possible that he gathered so many different elite exceptional ingredients so quickly?

Could it be his family members who gave it to him?

But, there was no need to. If he didn’t have the ability and took on a mission that was more than he could accept, he would die easily.

She looked at Mo Xiaobai with a flabbergasted look.

He just became a Force Warrior, and he was able to kill elite magical beasts?

Was he a monster?

“Wait…”

She hurriedly started searching for the missions.

After some time, the mermaid opened her mouth, and said, “Mister, there are no missions for graystone wolf teeth, graystone wolf skins, and graystone eagle claws, but there is one for graystone eagle feathers.”

Mo Xiaobai looked at the screen in front of him. The collection mission for graystone eagle feathers was shown on it. Every feather was worth 10 crystal remnants.

Mo Xiaobai immediately smiled. “I will take this mission.”

Then, he took out eight graystone eagle feathers.

The mermaid looked at the graystone eagle feathers in front of her, and felt a little shocked.

This young man actually had graystone eagle feathers!

She stretched her hand out and took the feathers from Mo Xiaobai. Then, she called an ingredient appraiser.

After confirming that the graystone eagle feathers were real, she smiled at Mo Xiaobai, and said, “Mister, your graystone eagle feathers are valid. Do you confirm that you want to complete this mission?”

Mo Xiaobai smiled and nodded.

After a series of actions, Mo Xiaobai’s adventurer’s points became two.

“Mister, do you want to complete any other missions?” the mermaid asked voluntarily.

Mo Xiaobai shook his head slightly. “I don’t need any more missions. Thank you.”

The mermaid sighed in relief. “You’re welcome.”

She was really afraid that Mo Xiaobai would take out more elite-level exceptional ingredients. If that happened, she didn’t think that her little heart would be able to accept it.

“This is your adventurer’s badge.”

She returned the adventurer’s badge to Mo Xiaobai.

Mo Xiaobai took his badge back and smiled. “Thank you.”

The mermaid blushed slightly. She smiled, and said, “You’re welcome.”

You’re so handsome…

He looked really handsome when he smiled.

***

After he completed the missions, Mo Xiaobai walked out of the expedition association.

He still had three elite-level exceptional ingredients. He didn’t expect that no one was collecting them.

Tsk, he would go and sell them then.

Mo Xiaobai walked towards the gray metal weapons shop.

The instant Mo Xiaobai entered the gray metal weapons shop, Old Gray, who was tidying his shelves, saw him.

He smiled brightly, revealing his uneven teeth. “Hello, Xiaobai.”

As he spoke, he turned to look at the door. When he realized that Mo You wasn’t accompanying him, he asked, “Your father didn’t come with you?”

Mo Xiaobai shook his head. “I came alone.”

Old Gray glanced at Mo Xiaobai in astonishment. He smiled. “What do you want to buy?”

Mo Xiaobai smiled back. “I’m here to sell things.”

“Sell things?” Old Gray was even more surprised.

“Yes,” Mo Xiaobai continued. “I just came back from graystone hill, so I have some exceptional ingredients I want to sell.”

Old Gray gave an understanding look when he saw this.

He sized up Mo Xiaobai and then lifted the corners of his mouth. “Your father is my old customer. In that case, I have to take a look at your ingredients personally. Come on.”

As he spoke, he asked an attendant to look after a shop. Then, he brought Mo Xiaobai through a door at the side of his shop.

After entering the side door, Mo Xiaobai saw a selling room just like the one he saw at the graystone hill base.

There were a few appraisers in the selling room as well as a few adventurers selling their items.

After they saw Old Gray, the appraisers quickly greeted him.

“Boss!”

Old Gray waved his hand. “Continue with your work.”

He found an empty spot, and smilingly said to Mo Xiaobai, “Come, let’s take a look at your loot.”

Personally, he didn’t think that Mo Xiaobai would have many gains.

After all, Mo You had already said that Mo Xiaobai had just become a Force Warrior.

Even if he went to graystone hill, it would be good enough if he could kill a few magical beasts that just entered the rank. If he had a few exceptional ingredients, that would be amazing already.

Just like what he said, he personally attended to Mo Xiaobai because of Mo You.

Old Gray even decided that after Mo Xiaobai took out his ingredients, he had to commend Mo Xiaobai, and make sure that he wouldn’t feel bad.

“???” But, when Mo Xiaobai took out his pile of exceptional ingredients, Old Gray’s eyes widened in shock. He was stunned.

“Graystone wolf skin, 12 pelts? Graystone wolf teeth, graystone wolf claws, graystone wild boar skin, tusks… wow…”

Old Gray’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets. He looked at the calm Mo Xiaobai. He was dumbstruck.

“Why do you have so many exceptional ingredients?!”

Didn’t Mo Xiaobai just become a Force Warrior?

He had to kill at least a few hundred magical beasts to get these exceptional ingredients, right?

Was Mo Xiaobai so powerful?!

It wasn’t just Old Gray. The other appraisers at the side as well as the adventurers who were selling their ingredients looked over in surprise too.

There weren’t many exceptional ingredients, and most of them were first-rank, but you had to see who was the one who brought them.

Looking at Mo Xiaobai’s young face, they knew that he was very young.

It was very rare for someone so young to be able to take out so many exceptional ingredients.

Naturally, he attracted everyone’s attention.

Mo Xiaobai smiled, and said, “Boss, I still have other things.”

As he spoke, he took out the elite grade graystone wolf teeth, graystone wolf skin, and graystone eagle claw.

The moment he took out the three items, Old Gray quickly snatched the items from him.

He looked at the graystone wolf teeth, and then the graystone wolf skin. Finally, he looked at the graystone eagle claw, and his breathing got rapid.

“They are all elite ingredients?! Their grades are high too!

“You even have a graystone eagle claw?!

“Did you kill a graystone eagle?! That is at least a one force point intermediate grade elite magical beast!”

Old Gray exclaimed repeatedly.

Mind you, elite grade ingredients were hard to find in the first place.

Especially first-rank elite ingredients.

Even Old Gray would only receive one of these items once every few days.

He didn’t expect to receive three elite ingredients today!

Also, Mo Xiaobai was the person who gave them to him!

How could Old Gray not get astounded?

He wasn’t the only one who was dumbfounded. Even the other appraisers’ eyes widened in surprise. Their gazes were shining.

“Elite graystone wolf and graystone eagle… This young person was able to kill them?!”

“That is incredible! This young man might have reached one force point and a high rank.”

“Gasp…”

Everyone looked at Mo Xiaobai with a dumbfounded expression.

He was so young, yet so powerful. It was understandable that people would feel flabbergasted.

Mo Xiaobai looked at the surprised looks of Old Gray and the various bystanders. He hurriedly coughed, and explained, “Boss, you misunderstood me. I didn’t kill them. They dropped down from the sky right in front of me.”

“…???” Everyone.
