While they waited for their food to arrive, Xu Feng successfully befriended Carn, having added her to his friend list.
Now, aside from Zhao Kai, Xu Feng also had a future expert in his friend list.
He felt gleeful already knowing that he managed to encounter the "Lunar Wraith" here.
'Oh, Kai, it's a good thing you delayed
previously. Otherwise, I would have missed this golden goose.' Xu Feng thought to himself, his expression remaining amicable on the surface. Soti later, Xu Feng finally went to the topic after so small talk here and there.
"Anyway, why were you trying to hire a rcenary?" He asked calmly.
Silent, Carn held a doubtful look as she stared at Xu Feng. "Should I answer your question, Feng?" "Eh… why do you ask that?"
"Well, you told
earlier to not reveal much information because players are rivals to us." "Y-Yes, that's true, but I'm not your rival," Xu Feng coughed and corrected. "We are sitting here because I saw you were troubled and decided to help you out a little bit. Of course, you will help
back when I need you in return."
To be honest, Xu Feng didn't want anything in return for helping her as long as he could get close to her.
However, not saying so would make him look suspicious, which was sothing he did not want to happen. Realization dawned upon Carn when she heard Xu Feng's response. Indeed, it would be extrely weird if Xu Feng didn't want anything in return for helping her.
"As long as it's within my ability and not overboard, I'll try my best to return the favor," Carn said, a firm and determined expression flashed on her face.
A second later, she began explaining her situation. "Earlier I ntioned how no one wanted to party up with
after they learned about my lack of skills. So I decided to head to the library in the town to educate myself." Carn bit her lips softly. anwhile, Xu Feng rely nodded, keeping silent and being a good listener. "While I was there, I t a librarian and she guided
that I can advance my class further as long as I can provide her with so rare ingredients." "And I suppose those rare ingredients are dropped by powerful monsters— or monsters that you can't handle in general." Xu Feng helped finish her wording, seeing that she was taking a while. As for Carn, she held an amazed expression. "How did you know about that?" 'That's because librarians in the Divine World are half scam and half real.' Xu Feng wanted to say that aloud but refrained from doing so.
On nurous occasions, players usually encountered the scamming librarians and ended up with nothing.
However, those with great luck encountered the librarians who honored their words and ended up gaining a fruitful benefit. To differentiate between the good and bad? Unfortunately, even he was helpless in this matter because these librarians are so hard to identify. Nevertheless, that didn't an he had no idea of who the good ones were, given he was privy to so confidential information back then on the nas. "Did that librarian ever tell you her na?" Xu Feng inquired.
"She didn't, but the system prompt showed
her na listed as Griselda," Carn responded. 'Librarian Griselda…' Xu Feng failed to recall it, but that didn't an she wasn't a good one. After all, quite a lot of selfish players are in the Divine World, and not many of them are foolish enough to reveal or brag about their achievents.
Just look at the previous idiot who bragged about the loophole thod in the log-in phase. Hadn't Xu Feng taken advantage of it and obtained the benefit for himself because of that idiot bragging? "What kind of powerful monster that Librarian Griselda requested you to take down?" Xu Feng asked in a sowhat relaxing tone. Based on the way Carn behaved, he doubted she was even level 3 yet. So what kind of powerful monster could it be?
Could they be fiercer than the Pyrite Drakes he fought?
"Librarian Griselda requested
to take down a monster called Ironhide Behemoth," Carn responded frankly.
"Pfft," Xu Feng nearly choked on his own saliva when he heard the type of monster she was requested to take down.
Ironhide Behemoth was a level 13 monster that resided in the danger zone. To give a clearer demonstration, the Pyrite Drakes that Xu Feng fought were only around levels 4-7, with the leader being the highest level.
However, keep in mind that it required a ton of preparation for him to weaken the level 7 leader to be no different than a level 3 monster.
Yet the monster that a beginner like Carn now was required to take down a level 13 monster when most players hadn't even crossed level 10. Just what kind of sick person was Librarian Griselda? No wonder Carn resorted to coming to the rcenary Association in hopes of recruiting so strong rcenaries to assist her in the mission.
There were no other options! At least, that was in her case, and not him. Although it seed impossible at first glance, Xu Feng would still be able to manage it. Of course, that was on the premise that he would allow himself to be in such a sticky situation, to begin with.
anwhile, Carn mistook Xu Feng's silence and earlier display of behavior as natural. She thought he was helpless as well, but she expected such a response already. After all, the party she was in legit dismissed her and even so called her a crazy bitch. "It's alright, Feng." Carn smiled gently. "I can manage it myself sohow, so there's no need for you to be troubled by it." "Who do you take
for?" Unfazed, Xu Feng tapped his fingers repeatedly on the table before flashing a solemn expression.
"I've said I will help you, then I will do it. It's just a level 13 Ironhide Behemoth. Didn't I tell you earlier, I'm quite the expert myself." He added, adjusting his glasses.
