Su Muxue looked down. When she saw Jiang Bai holding her hand, she felt her body go numb.
It was nothing like what she had felt before, like an electric current was flowing through her body.
While still imrsed in that wonderful feeling, Jiang Bai had already brought her in front of the rchant.
[Ding! Congratulations Maise the God and Soft Snow for triggering a hidden quest!]
[Na of Quest: Super Formula]
[Conditions and Rewards for Completion of Quest: If you offer a dragon egg to the rchant, you will obtain a super formula. Please note that it is possible to obtain a low-quality formula!]
…
Jiang Bai and Su Muxue heard the system notification alert.
Su Muxue paused for a mont, then pointed to her backpack.
“Do I take the dragon egg out now?”
Jiang Bai shook his head and said softly, “If I don’t teach this rchant a small lesson, we will most likely obtain a low-quality formula!”
Su Muxue’s mouth gaped open.
“Ah? That can happen too!”
......
Only then did Su Muxue understand the warning on the mission panel.
The possible situation ntioned by the system was the chance that the rchant might cheat. If so, even if they offered him a dragon egg, they would only obtain a low-quality formula.
Su Muxue was now looking at Jiang Bai, curious about what he had up his sleeve.
“Respected adventurers, you must have a special item that you cannot sell anywhere else!”
The rchant suddenly spoke. Then he pulled out two chairs and pushed them in front of Jiang Bai and Su Muxue.
After Jiang Bai and Su Muxue had sat down, the rchant continued, “Don’t worry. I don’t have any advantage as a rchant. My only advantage is that I can take in any kind of special item. If you cannot sell it anywhere else, just sell it to !”
“I can also leave you a ans of contacting . You’ll be able to find directly in your friends list. We can also quickly seal the deal!”
As he spoke, the rchant wrote his na on a piece of paper.
Su Muxue was a bit surprised. She did not expect the rchant NPC to have a na. And even be contactable through a friends list.
However, as soon as the rchant handed the paper over, Jiang Bai suddenly grabbed his hand.
Jiang Bai then held down the rchant’s wrist, and even snatched the pen.
When he saw what had happened, the rchant was instantly enraged.
“What’s that supposed to an, you adventurer?”
As the rchant NPC did not have access to the mission panel, he was not aware that Jiang Bai and Su Muxue had a dragon egg on them.
After snatching the pen and paper, Jiang Bai started writing a few things.
In his previous life, so players had tailed the rchant NPC and in the process, discovered a few of his secrets.
So had gotten curious, so they had written the secrets of the rchant NPC on paper and shown them to him.
To their surprise, they realized that the rchant suddenly beca respectful once he found out that his secrets had been discovered.
With that as the foundation, they found that if they added to it by beating him up, he would do business honestly and not try to scam them.
Su Muxue was puzzled by Jiang Bai’s actions, “What is he doing?”
Furious, the rchant waved to the old man standing by the side, signaling for him to call the guards to chase them out.
However, no matter how much the old man shouted, there was no movent from the guards outside the door.
They did not know that in order to successfully complete the quest and obtain the formula to deal with the Super Gi-pterosaur, Jiang Bai had knocked out the guards outside the door long ago.
When the rchant saw that the guards still had not co in, he straightened his back and walked angrily towards Jiang Bai.
Just as the rchant was about to speak, Jiang Bai picked up the piece of paper filled with secrets and shoved it in front of the rchant. That caused the rchant to stutter, making him at a loss for words.
“You! How is this possible!”
The rchant was shocked. He grabbed the piece of paper, and hurriedly stuffed it into his pocket.
If those secrets were to leak out and spread throughout Crystal City, he would be t with countless looks of disdain. Those who had been scamd would realize what he had done, and verbally abuse or even beat him up.
Jiang Bai replied coldly, “Why? You’ve scamd so many people that you can’t even rember these things?”
While he spoke.
Jiang Bai taught the rchant a lesson.
When the rchant crawled back up with a bruised and swollen face, his posture changed completely. He lowered his voice by two levels and asked, “Great adventurer, do you have any request I can fulfill for you?”
When he heard that, Jiang Bai nodded in satisfaction.
Only when the rchant spoke in that manner, did it an that he would be completely honest.
“Give him the dragon egg!”
Jiang Bai looked at Su Muxue.
When she heard him, Su Muxue took out the dragon egg from her backpack. She held it with both hands, and imdiately placed it on the ground.
One had to understand that the dragon egg was 10 ters tall. The only way to ensure that it would not hit the shop ceiling was to place it horizontally.
When the rchant saw the dragon egg, his eyes widened with thoughts of greed.
But almost instantly, he retracted those thoughts.
He knew what would happen to him otherwise.
“Great adventurer, I can exchange this dragon egg for a super formula for you!”
“As a sign of respect, I will also provide the raw ingredients for the formula. Please do not refuse my offer!”
The rchant hurriedly said.
When Jiang Bai heard that, he nodded.
He was no longer worried that the rchant would cheat.
As the rchant prepared the super formula and raw ingredients, Jiang Bai sat back in his chair and ran through in his mind what would happen next.
“In an hour’s ti, Moonlight City will be destroyed!”
“After that, the super demonic beast will attack Crystal City and Amber City because of the missing dragon egg!”
“But as long as I get my hands on this super formula and concoct it, I won’t have to worry about the Super Gi-pterosaur!”
He thought to himself.
With his eyes slightly narrowed.
While he was resting, Su Muxue was observing the rchant while watching the live broadcast of Moonlight City.
Su Muxue then asked anxiously.
“Moonlight City isn’t going to be destroyed, is it?”
The rchant’s body froze on hearing that.
He was not able to watch the live broadcast. So he turned around to ask, confused.
“What’s going on in Moonlight City?”
Seeing that the rchant did not have any ill intentions, Su Muxue explained the situation in Moonlight City.
“Ah!”
“It’s been besieged by the Super Gi-pterosaur!”
The rchant tried to appear as if he had heard of such large-scale events before. In his shock, he could not help but keep nodding his head.
At that mont, the rchant did not ntion that the super formula could be used against the Super Gi-pterosaur.
Jiang Bai looked over. Based on the rchant’s reaction, he could confirm one thing.
It had not been the rchant who had told the expert from his previous life to use the concocted potion to deal with the Super Gi-pterosaur.
The expert had simply been lucky. He had used the potion against the Gi-pterosaur by accident.
