The gazes around them became stranger, and they started whispering among themselves.
Ning Shewo had been in the field his entire life, so he still had some dignity. He quickly dragged Meng Chao into a corner.
Meng Chao was a little embarrassed. "I'm sorry, Elder Ning. I'm actually a very low-profile and reserved person. I don't like to stand out. Why don't you pretend that you don't know me?"
"No, no, no. My young friend, why would I mean that? I'm just curious. Didn't your master tell you about this?" Ning Shewo could not understand it.
"This is my greatest secret. I shouldn't have said it even if I was beaten to death, but I'm an honest person, and I don't know how to lie. In truth, I don't have a master. I just met a very mysterious senior in the deep web, and he often gives me some pointers. I don't know whether I have the right to call him master."
Meng Chao paused for a moment. "His name is Old Fire Relayer."
"Old Fire Relayer?" The Ning family grandfather and grandson looked at each other. "I've never heard of such a senior in the field. Who is he?"
"I don't know. He's a very elusive and mysterious person."
Meng Chao thought about it seriously. "Based on the few words I've spoken to him, I think that he's really strong, but he's also a very noble person. He's not interested in low-class things and only wants to contribute to society. He's a person with great wisdom, great foresight, and can see the future. He's also a person with great charisma. He can subdue, influence, and save everyone without their knowledge!"
The Ning family grandfather and grandson said, "Is that so?"
"Be more confident. Remove the question. Yes," Meng Chao said.
"By the way, I told Old Fire Relayer about your injuries. He only thought about it for three seconds before he casually gave me two ingredients. One of them is the juice from the roots of a hundred-year-old Heart Eroding Grass, and the other is the wings of a Bloody Queen Bee. I don't know what they mean either. Elder Ning, do you?"
Ning Shewo thought about it for a while before he suddenly sucked in a sharp breath. His white hair stood up like needles.
"A hundred-year-old Heart Eroding Grass and a Bloody Queen Bee are both incredibly poisonous ingredients. They're also very similar to the Purple-crowned Viper King venom I'm afflicted with. This is the prescription for fighting poison with poison!
"Fighting poison with poison? Why didn't I think of this before?
"That makes sense. The more I think about it, the more it makes sense. We've tried all the treatments, and the only way left is to fight poison with poison!"
Ning Shewo's expression was dazed. Sometimes, he mumbled to himself, sometimes, he calculated with his fingers, and sometimes, he laughed soundlessly. The muscles on his face squirmed, and his expression was incredibly strange.
Ning Xueshi was afraid. "Grandpa …"
My young friend wasn't lying. This Old Fire Relayer is truly a god. He hasn't even met me before, but in three seconds, he gave me a few casual pointers, and he managed to get rid of the chronic illness that has troubled me for a long time. He's a god! "Ning Shewo gasped in admiration.
At the same time, a notification popped up in Meng Chao's vision.
[Due to your guidance, elite citizen Ning Shewo has gained a brand new understanding in pharmacology. Increased contribution points by 43.]
Elite monsters were great, but he couldn't get enough of them.
Meng Chao gulped. "Elder Ning, you have to be careful when it comes to fighting poison with poison. Old Fire Relayer just casually mentioned these two ingredients, but he didn't mention the mixing ratio, method, or other supplementary ingredients. You have to think about it carefully."
"It's fine. With this senior's realm, it's already pretty good that he was willing to give me a few pointers. What right do I have to trouble him with the minor details? "I've done quite a lot of research on pharmacology, so I'll naturally go through the entire prescription with a team of specialists."
Ning Shewo sighed. "Ever since Dragon City transmigrated, amazing people have appeared nonstop. It's true that there's always someone better than you! My young friend, no matter how much I can cure you in the end, these two medicines have helped me a lot. I really don't know how I should express my gratitude to Old Fire Relayer. "
"It's fine. Old Fire Relayer is a person who doesn't care about fame and fortune. Even if you don't give him a single coin, he won't be angry. Even if you give him a multi-story mansion in Dragon City No.1, he won't be polite about it. He treats money like dirt and is very cool."
Meng Chao thought about it. "By the way, I've asked Old Fire Relayer about the other solutions of the Seven Dissection Methods Performed in Reverse. He doesn't mind making them public, so I'll show you now."
Without waiting for Ning Shewo's reaction, Meng Chao used two chopsticks to move in the air.
In truth, his actions were not on point, and he did not understand the profound scientific principles behind each of his actions. He was just imitating them, and his actions were very nonsensical.
However, even if his future harvesting skills were badly out of shape, in the eyes of an elite like Ning Shewo, they were still like lightning slicing through the night sky, and they brought him great enlightenment.
"This is …"
Ning Shewo covered his chest. His face turned pale, and he took two huge steps back.
[Thanks to your guidance, elite citizen Ning Shewo has gained a brand new understanding of the first solution of the Seven Dissection Methods Performed in Reverse. Increased contribution points by 32.
[Thanks to your guidance, elite citizen Ning Shewo has gained a brand new understanding of the third solution of the Seven Dissection Methods Performed in Reverse. Increased contribution points by 49.
[Thanks to your guidance …]
Meng Chao gained a large amount of contribution points from the elite monster.
"Grandpa!"
When Ning Xueshi saw that her grandfather looked like he was having a heart attack, she quickly went forward to support him.
She could not tell how ingenious Meng Chao was. She could only see that this normal high school student had used two greasy chopsticks to casually slice at her grandfather's food. She was so anxious that she was about to cry.
"I'm fine, Xueshi. You don't understand. You don't understand how amazing this place is …"
Ning Shewo's lips were pale, but his eyes were incredibly lively. He said solemnly, "My young friend, did Old Fire Relayer really ask you to teach me the upgraded Seven Dissection Methods Performed in Reverse? What does he want me to do?"
Meng Chao shook his head. "It's the same thing. Old Fire Relayer said that martial arts, harvesting skills, and spirit energy technology are the crystallization of the wisdom of all the working people in Dragon City. We should take them from the people and use them for the people. That's why he won't be stingy with any martial arts. He only hopes that you can recover your hands and eyes and learn the brand new Seven Dissection Methods Performed in Reverse so that you can harvest more resources and create a better future with all Dragon Citizens."
Ning Shewo looked as if he had been struck by lightning. His lips quivered for a long time before he sighed and said, "Senior, your grace is like a towering mountain, and your breadth of mind is like the boundless ocean. I'm convinced. I — No, I'm completely convinced!"
Ning Xueshi's beautiful eyes moved back and forth between Meng Chao and her grandfather a few times. She had to admit that she was impressed.
"Only a transcendent senior like the Old Fire Relayer could bring up … a maverick teenager like Meng Chao!"
Lady Ning felt complicated emotions.
"My young friend, sit here with Xueshi for a while. I'll go and greet a few of my friends in the circle. I'll introduce you to them later."
As he spoke, Ning Shewo pulled his granddaughter to the side and whispered, "Now, do you believe me? My young friend is someone worth befriending. At the very least, he's much more reliable than Liao Feijun! "Later, I'll go and entertain my young friend. Help me take care of him. Don't be rude, do you hear me?"
"Yes, Grandpa."
Ning Xueshi seemed to have thought of something, and her face burned. She said shyly, "But he's still in high school. He's three years younger than me!"
"Hmm?"
"Huh?"
Meng Chao looked over. "Huh?"
…
In another corner of the trade fair, Liao Feijun finished his blood-red wine in one go.
He licked his lips and stared at Meng Chao and Ning Xueshi as they chatted happily. After a long while, he looked away.
"Huh? Isn't that Meng Chao?"
Gu Ming, the technical director of Prosperous Resource Recovery Company, cried out beside him. "How is that boy qualified to come here?"
Liao Feijun's gaze turned cold. "You know him?"
"I'd know him even if he turned into ashes. Young Master Jun, I came to you today to talk about this boy. He slapped our faces until they were swollen. You have to uphold justice for me!"
Gu Ming put on a long face and told Meng Chao about the conflict two nights ago, including the crystalized neurosphere. He exaggerated the details, and in the end, he said pitifully, "I've been learning from Mr. Poisonous Hands Liao Santong for a long time. There's no one in the circle who doesn't know that I'm Mr. Liao's disciple. That boy has Ghostly Hands Ning Shewo as his support, and he's so arrogant. He doesn't regard Mr. Liao with any respect. Young Master Jun, we can't tolerate this! "
Liao Feijun pursed his lips in slight disgust.
Gu Ming had only learned harvesting skills from his grandfather for two years. His skills were average, and he always caused trouble and embarrassed himself. Liao Feijun could not be bothered with his business.
However, Liao Feijun's grandfather, Poisonous Hands Liao Santong, and Ghostly Hands Ning Shewo were fellow disciples. Over the past few decades, his skills had been surpassed by his senior brother, and they had even gotten into a conflict over monster materials. The grudge between them had been brewing for a long time.
This time, Ning Shewo's nerves were damaged, and he was about to leave the harvester circle. It was a good chance for his grandfather to seize the chance to step up.
His grandfather had hinted to him a long time ago that he should search for a chance to provoke Ning Shewo and force him to lose his cool and fight against his grandfather in public. Then, Poisonous Hands would defeat Ghostly Hands and sweep away his decades of gloom.
'This is a chance …'
Liao Feijun thought about it and said faintly, "Gu Ming, you fell for it. Old Ghost Ning was poisoned, and he lost most of his strength. Forget the fact that he won't be able to stay in Thunderbolt, he might even leave the harvester circle soon. He's just a dead tiger, so what do you have to be afraid of?"
"What?"
With Gu Ming's status, this was the first time he heard of this insider information. He was stunned for a long time before he could not help but say angrily, "Damn it, if I knew that Old Ghost Ning had already turned into a dead tiger, I and Mr. Hu wouldn't have let the boy go that day!"
Liao Feijun smiled. "Old Ghost Ning has been searching for a successor to his legacy all over the city. Since the boy could tell the difference between an etherealized neurosphere and a crystalized neurosphere, he must have some talent. Old Ghost Ning was excited by the prospect, which is why he supported the boy. This was supposed to be a simple matter, but you scared yourselves and made it complicated."
Gu Ming was embarrassed and angry. "I was wondering how a poor boy who lives in a public renting house managed to get in touch with White-haired Ghostly Hands!"
Liao Feijun could not help but laugh. "It's no wonder why his uniform is so tattered. So, he's living in a public renting house. Old Ghost Ning is really regressing as he ages. He searched for a long time for a successor, and this is the guy he found? But it's no wonder. Right now, everyone can tell that Old Ghost Ning is trash. Which teenager in the circle with connections and talent would want to be Old Ghost Ning's successor? "
When Meng Chao and Ning Xueshi chatted happily with each other, Ning Xueshi paid close attention and listened carefully.
When the girl lowered her head, it made Liao Feijun's eyes turn red.
