Everyone was speechless when they heard Wang Teng's words.
Wang Teng's worldview was a little crooked!
"We are the Martial Arts Club, not a human trafficking organization. Why do we need you to sell yourself?"
Even with Zhuang He's temper, he was infuriated by Wang Teng's words. He glared at Wang Teng angrily. Suddenly, he started doubting whether it was right or wrong to pull this immoral fellow into the martial arts club.
"Then why are you looking at me like that? It's creepy, "Wang Teng said innocently.
"Of course, I want to see what kind of monster you are," Xia Qiu said. "What kind of monster are you?"
"Hey, that's enough. How can you mock someone like that?" Wang Teng said angrily.
"Hahaha!"
Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they saw him being humiliated.
"Alright, alright. Don't make fun of him. Save some face for our Newcomer King," Zhuang He said with a smile.
…
Half an hour later, Wang Teng walked out of the Martial Arts Club. He couldn't help but shake his head.
The seniors in the Martial Arts Club were easy to get along with. It was just that they were a little mischievous and liked to make fun of him.
"However, this Martial Arts Club is really not simple. I saw quite a few 3-star soldier-level martial warriors today."
Those who could reach the 3-star soldier-level martial warrior level were basically third or fourth-year students. They had gone through many missions. Wang Teng could feel an extraordinary aura from them.
"Birds of a feather flock together. The strong will only team up with the strong!"
Wang Teng sighed in his heart.
It was already evening. He went to the canteen to eat and then went back to his dormitory to cultivate.
…
The next day, Sunday morning.
After Wang Teng finished his breakfast, he took his weapon and walked to the school gate.
When he reached the gate, he took out his student card and swiped it.
As he had already accepted the mission, his student card recorded it. Hence, he was able to pass through the gate.
The guard was very familiar with such situations. He knew that Wang Teng was going out for a mission.
Therefore, he did not stop him. He only nodded at Wang Teng and said, "Student, be careful and come back safely."
Wang Teng was slightly taken aback, then he smiled and said, "Okay, thank you, Sir!"
The guard looked at Wang Teng's back as he walked away. He sighed and muttered to himself, "These children are the hope of the future!"
…
Wang Teng left the university town and took a taxi to Mount Chunhua.
During the two-hour drive, Wang Teng sat in the back with his eyes closed, which made the driver in front very curious.
However, when he saw that Wang Teng had no intention of speaking, he could only remain silent.
Two hours later, the car arrived at a village under Mount Chunhua.
It had to be said that this place was really a bit remote. If Wang Teng hadn't paid a high price, the driver wouldn't have been willing to drive here.
"Wait for me here. I should be back before the sun sets." Wang Teng told the driver.
"Don't worry, little brother. Since I've promised you, I'll definitely accept your business today. I won't accept any other business." The driver patted his chest and promised.
Nonsense. The money that the young man in front of him paid was enough for him to drive for an entire day. He didn't even have to run around tirelessly. Such a good thing only happened once in a year. Only a fool wouldn't do it.
Wang Teng nodded and got out of the car. He stopped a passing villager and asked about the situation at Mount Chunhua.
"You said you want to enter the mountain?" The villager that was stopped by Wang Teng was a middle-aged woman in her forties. When she heard that Wang Teng wanted to enter the mountain, she looked at him in surprise and said, "Young man, it's not safe in the mountain now. You're still young. I advise you to go home."
The middle-aged woman looked at Wang Teng without any scruples. She saw that he was soft and tender. Then, she looked at the taxi beside him. She didn't need to think to know that he came from the city.
She was puzzled. These people didn't want to stay in a safe place. Instead, they went to a dangerous place. Did they feel that they were living too comfortably?
"I have something important to do in the mountain. I can't go back empty-handed." Wang Teng smiled and said, "Auntie, don't worry. Since I'm here, I'm definitely mentally prepared. I won't joke with my life."
"You city people just don't listen to advice. Yesterday, there were three young people who insisted on entering the mountain. I couldn't persuade them. They still haven't come out. I don't know how they are now." The middle-aged woman shook her head helplessly.
"Oh? Three young people? " Wang Teng was a little surprised that there were other people coming. He asked calmly, "How were they dressed? Did they say what they were going to do in the mountain?"
"Why are you asking this?" The middle-aged woman asked suspiciously.
"I'm just asking." Wang Teng took out two hundred yuan and stuffed it into the middle-aged woman's hand.
"How can I accept this?" Her eyes lit up. Although she said that she was embarrassed, her hands were very obedient. She held the money tightly, as if she was afraid that Wang Teng would take it back.
"Auntie, just take it. You deserve it. Nowadays, information also costs money." Wang Teng smiled carelessly.
"You city people are all fastidious people. Very generous." The middle-aged woman smiled and whispered, "Those three young people were dressed like you. They were dressed very well. I saw that they even had weapons. They said that they were looking for something in the mountain. They even asked our village's herb gatherers to lead the way for them. But I don't know what they are looking for."
"These people can't be here to pick Illusion Grass, right?" Wang Teng thought suspiciously. "Am I going to fail my first mission?"
"No, since I'm already here, I have to go into the mountain to look for it. Besides, I only need ten Illusion Grass. It might not conflict with their purpose."
Thinking of this, he made up his mind. He said to the middle-aged woman, "Auntie, are there any other herb gatherers in your village?"
"No, just that family. Nowadays, very few people are willing to go into the mountain." The middle-aged woman hesitated for a moment. Seemingly for the sake of the money, she said, "But Mr. Bai … Oh, Mr. Bai is the herb gatherer. His daughter often goes into the mountain with him. She is familiar with the situation in the mountain. You can ask her."
"Okay, thank you, auntie." Wang Teng nodded and gave her a ticket. Then, he asked for the herb gatherer's address.
It had to be said that the charm of money was great. The middle-aged woman was supposed to work in the field, but now she personally sent Wang Teng to Mr. Bai's house.
"Sister Bai, are you home? Open the door. Someone is looking for you." The middle-aged woman knocked on the door.
After a moment, the door opened. A seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl came out and asked, "Auntie, what's the matter?"
"Sister Bai, there's a young man from the city over there. He said that he wants to go into the mountain and needs a guide. Why don't you talk to him personally?" The middle-aged woman pointed at Wang Teng.
"Go into the mountain?" Bai Xiaocao frowned and hesitated for a moment. She seemed to have thought of something and nodded. "Okay, let him come over and talk to me."
"Okay." The middle-aged woman felt that she was the one who made this happen. She was very happy and proud. She whispered to Bai Xiaocao, "Sister Bai, let me tell you, the people from the city are all rich. If you want to bring him into the mountain, you have to ask for more. Don't lose out."
"…" Wang Teng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This auntie was really cunning.
