I Can See the Lines of Fortune - Chapter 26

Chapter 26: Submitting The Mission

After Mo Xiaobai entered the base, he went to the pharmacy directly to buy a Healing Potion.

His injury wasn’t serious, so he just needed to buy an inferior-grade Healing Potion.

Even so, he still spent 10 first-rank crystal remnants.

Middle-grade and superior-grade Healing Potions were more expensive. As for flawless grade Healing Potion, it was able to regenerate amputated limbs. As long as you didn’t die, you would be able to stay alive.

Such an item was priceless.

However, this wasn’t what Mo Xiaobai needed to think of now.

After buying the Healing Potion, he went to the residential area, and spent 5000 dollars to stay in a house that had a washroom.

He took off his clothes and looked at the intertwining wounds on his body. He pulled the corners of his lips wide as he felt the pain coming from the wounds.

He used warm water to clean his body first before taking out a Healing Potion that looked like a transparent ruby and drinking it. In an instant, he felt numbness coming from his wounds.

This meant that his wounds were starting to recover. Based on the effects of Healing Potions first-rank and below, he would need one night to heal completely.

He wore his clothes and took out Cheng Peng’s space ring. He started to count his gains.

Cheng Peng’s space ring was around the same size as the one he was wearing on his hand now. There were many items inside it.

This included a few changes of clothes, food, water, a pile of crystal remnants, a pile of exceptional ingredients and herbs, and a few bottles of potions.

Mo Xiaobai threw away Cheng Peng’s clothes, food, and water. Then, he started counting the crystal remnants.

They were all first-rank. There were 833 crystal remnants in total.

As for the exceptional ingredients and herbs, there were graystone wolf skins, teeth, and claws, graystone wild boar skins and tusks, limestone plants, and many more.

The exceptional ingredients and the herbs were all normal grade.

Only elite-level magical beasts would separate out elite grade exceptional ingredients. There was only a low probability that normal magical beasts would separate out exceptional ingredients. With Cheng Peng’s ability, it was hard for him to kill elite-level magical beasts.

As for elite-level herbs, it depended on luck.

In the end, Mo Xiaobai looked at the potions.

There were three bottles in total. One contained a gray Stone Skin Potion, one contained a blood-red Strength Potion, and the last one was a Healing Potion. It was middle-grade.

Mo Xiaobai was a little frustrated. He should have taken a look at this space ring first. Then, he wouldn’t have needed to spend his own money to buy the Healing Potion.

But, he was still elated.

He approximated the items he could sell. Including Cheng Peng’s elite longsword, elite armor, and this pile of normal exceptional ingredients and herbs, he would be able to get close to 1,000 crystal remnants from them.

If he added the crystal remnants that were already here, he would have close to 2,000 crystal remnants!

This was a massive harvest!

He needed to use 60 first-rank crystal remnants a day. He wouldn’t finish 2,000 crystal remnants in a month.

This was enough resources for his cultivation.

He didn’t expect Cheng Peng to have so many assets.

He couldn’t help but smile.

Tomorrow, he would sell the items. Then, he could go home and continue his cultivation.

He breathed and calmed his excited emotions. Then, he lay on his single bed and closed his eyes.

He was exhausted after the whole day, so he quickly entered deep sleep.

***

The next day, Mo Xiaobai opened his eyes early in the morning.

He looked at the wounds on his body first, and realized that the scabs had already fallen off. There wasn’t even a scar left.

As expected of the Healing Potion. The 10 crystal remnants were well spent.

Mo Xiaobai complimented it in his heart.

Then, he sat cross-legged on the bed, and started his daily cultivation.

One hour later, Mo Xiaobai finished his daily cultivation, and checked out of the room.

It was still early, but there were already many adventurers on the streets of the base. Adventurers smiled as they went out of the gates in groups to start their work today.

As for Mo Xiaobai, he went back to the center of the plaza, and walked through the light door. He returned to the expedition center.

He then walked out of the expedition center, and called for a ride to the expedition association.

He wanted to go to the expedition association to see if there were any collection missions that required the elite grade herbs and ingredients he’d found yesterday.

Very soon, Mo Xiaobai arrived at the expedition association.

It was still early, so there were fewer people today as compared to the time when he’d come with his father.

Mo Xiaobai came to a mission counter at the side of the main hall.

The staff member behind the counter was a mermaid that was smiling gently.

She was slightly shocked when she saw Mo Xiaobai.

After all, Mo Xiaobai was too young. It was hard to believe that he was here to complete missions.

She gently said, “Hello, how can I help you?”

Mo Xiaobai thought for a moment, and smiled as he replied, “Can you help me check if there are any missions that require purple-root plants?”

“Purple-root plants?”

The mermaid was stunned when she heard this.

The purple-root plant was an elite grade herb!

This young man… didn’t look very old.

She glanced at Mo Xiaobai’s young face, and didn’t say anything else. She just started fiddling with the device in front of her.

Very soon, she smiled, and answered, “Yes, there are a few collection missions related to the purple-root plant. You can take a look.”

Mo Xiaobai saw the introductions of a few missions popping out on the screen in front of him.

He looked at them and noticed that the grade of the missions that needed to collect purple-root plants was all black steel grade.

One purple-root plant was priced at 70 to 100 crystal remnants.

Mo Xiaobai chose the highest mission that was worth 100 crystal remnants.

“I want to submit this mission.”

The mermaid blinked. She didn’t expect Mo Xiaobai to really have purple-root plants. “Alright, please pass me your adventurer’s badge and the purple-root plant.”

Mo Xiaobai took out his adventurer’s badge and a purple-root plant, and passed it to the mermaid.

The mermaid took the purple-root plant, and called a human apothecary over.

The human apothecary was surprised when he saw Mo Xiaobai too. He didn’t think that such a young adventurer would submit a purple-root plant mission.

He inspected the purple-root plant, and confirmed that it was real. Then, he nodded at the mermaid.

The mermaid immediately gave Mo Xiaobai a gentle smile. “Mister, your purple-root plant is valid. Do you confirm that you want to complete this mission?”

Mo Little White nodded. “Yes.”

The mermaid did a series of actions, and swiped Mo Xiaobai’s black steel badge on a device.

After a beep, the mermaid opened her mouth, and said, “The mission is complete.”

Mo Xiaobai could see that the screen in front of him had changed. It was displaying his basic information now—his name, age, and adventurer’s grade.

His adventurer’s grade was black steel grade. There were points behind it. After he completed this mission, he had one point.

If he wanted to upgrade from black steel to bronze grade, he needed to collect 100 points in total. Then, he still needed to complete three bronze missions.

The difficulty of upgrading was quite high.

These were all too far away for Mo Xiaobai. When he saw the mermaid passing him back his adventurer’s badge, he quickly asked, “Oh right, can you help me check if there are any missions that require the collection of graystone wolf skins, graystone wolf teeth, graystone eagle claws, and graystone eagle feathers?”

“What?”

The mermaid was in a daze after she heard Mo Xiaobai listing out so many exceptional ingredients. She suspected she heard wrong.
