In the Jiangnan Base City of the Dragon Kingdom on the Blue Star.
In the main hall of the Tu family.
“The college entrance examination is about to begin, and I’ve heard that the higher-ups are attaching great importance to this year’s exam.” The head of the Tu family took a sip of tea and casually looked at the people around him.
“Second Brother, Third Brother, your kids are taking the college entrance exam this year, right?”
“Don’t worry, big brother. With the resources of our Tu family, there should be no problem!” The second son of the Tu family said calmly.
“That’s right! Big brother, just relax! We’ve taken care of all the connections. Even if our kids are not that outstanding, they can still get into advanced academies!”
Upon hearing their words, the head of the Tu family frowned, “Do you two just sit idle at home all day? Haven’t you heard any rumors?”
“Why so serious, big brother? It’s just the college entrance exam. It happens every year. It’s just that the higher-ups are paying more attention this year. Nothing different.” The second son of the Tu family remained composed.
The third son of the Tu family nodded repeatedly, “Exactly! Second brother is right!”
“This year’s college entrance exam will be personally observed by the War God. I heard he will select one person directly from the students as his disciple.” The head of the Tu family couldn’t be bothered to talk more with them and directly revealed the news he had received.
What?!
Upon hearing this, the two brothers couldn’t sit still and immediately stood up from their seats.
Just as they were about to continue discussing, a figure rushed into the main hall.
“Master! Something’s happened!!!”
“You are the one causing a commotion! What happened? Speak properly!” The head of the Tu family glared at the person with great displeasure.
“Young Master Feiding… he’s dead…”
Two hours later, in Yicheng City Base City.
Outside the City Lord’s residence, Jiang Shan was lying leisurely on the sofa.
“Finally got rid of those two old fogeys. I can take a good rest now-”
On the side, Fang Chang glanced at Jiang Shan with a speechless expression, “You are the deputy city lord at least. Can’t you help me with some affairs in the base city?”
“Oh, what can possibly happen in our little base city? Aren’t you enough to handle it alone?” Jiang Shan smiled mischievously. “I agreed to be your deputy city lord on the condition that I wouldn’t have to work, remember?”
Fang Chang helplessly sat back in his seat, “Then, why don’t you go to the main hall? Or, take care of your niece? Although her level has already surpassed other students in her grade, she can’t keep waiting for that Mo family’s boy forever, right?”
“All, that girl is even more stubborn than my elder brother. What can I do?”
“Why not talk to Mo Xiao and let him continue leveling up with your niece? He just entered a secret realm recently, and his level should have improved. It should be no problem for him to accompany that girl.”
“Mo Xiao indeed has impressive combat power, but…”
“But what?” Just as Jiang Shan was about to make a retort, Mo Xiao’s cold voice rang directly in his ear, startling him.
Jiang Shan jumped up in fright, “What the heck?! How did you get in here? This is the City Lord’s residence, for goodness’ sake!”
Mo Xiao tilted his head to look at Jiang Shan and said very calmly, “There was no one at the door and it wasn’t locked, so I came straight in.”
“I…” Jiang Shan was at a loss for words.
Fang Chang chuckled, “Hehe, Mo Xiao, what brings you here?”
“I’m here to look for him,” Mo Xiao looked at Jiang Shan and said lightly, “I wanted to sell some materials, and he said he would help me find a buyer. I also wanted to buy something, so I came to ask about it.”
“Sell materials? Oh! You just reminded me!” Only then did Jiang Shan remember the matter he promised to help Mo Xiao with, and he had completely forgotten about it.
Hearing this, Mo Xiao slightly raised his eyebrows, “So? Has it been settled?”
“Ahahaha, I forgot, I’ll go find a buyer for you right away!” Jiang Shan laughed awkwardly, without even thinking, he was ready to slip away.
“That’s perfect. I don’t want to sell them anymore.”
Mo Xiao spoke lightly, then gently raised his right hand and pushed an illusory panel in front of Jiang Shan, “Can you help me get these things?”
“What things?” Jiang Shan curiously glanced at the list. “36 Death Spider Webs, 16 Dragon Bones, 2 Illusory Stones, 2 Dark Gold Mother Stones, and 18 Third-Rank Profound Irons…
“Wow, even the worst of these are purple-grade materials. What are you up to? Trying to monopolize the high-end material market?” Jiang Shan asked with a strange expression.
Mo Xiao remained silent for a moment before saying, “What I’m doing is none of your concern. I just want to know if you can get them for me.”
“Well, the Death Spider Webs, Dragon Bones, and Third-Rank Profound Irons are easy to obtain, but these Illusory Stones and Dark Gold Mother Stones are tricky. They are rare even at auctions,” Jiang Shan shook his head.
“And all of these things are not cheap at all. Can you afford them?”
Upon hearing this, Mo Xiao was momentarily taken aback, and after some thought, he said, “I have a way to make money.”
“Are you sure? Just the Third-Rank Profound Irons alone would cost at least two million,” Jiang Shan looked at Mo Xiao with disbelief.
Mo Xiao didn’t bother to respond to Jiang Shan. He casually opened his backpack, and the next moment, five large bags of gold coins were thrown out by Mo Xiao. “Your city lord’s mansion can exchange these gold coins for Dragon Kingdom currency, right?”
Gold coins were a special currency that only humanoid monsters dropped in this game.
Typically, the City Lord’s residence could use gold coins to exchange for some special city buffs or directly convert them into Dragon Kingdom currency.
However, the exchange rate was 1 to 1, and compared to the buffs, not many people chose to exchange coins for currency.
“Gold coins?” Fang Chang, who was standing nearby, also became interested and instinctively walked up to the gold coins.
For Fang Chang, the City Lord, gold coins still held significant value. Although it was a base city, it was very similar to the main cities in the game, allowing the exchange of gold coins for system buffs.
[Ding, congratulations on obtaining five million gold coins!]
“What the heck!!! Where did you get so many gold coins from?!!”
Fang Chang’s eyes nearly popped out when he received the gold coins. He couldn’t produce so much even if he tried!
“Is it a lot?” Mo Xiao had no concept of the value and significance of gold coins.
After all, these coins were all stolen by Mo Xiao using his Quick Fingers ability from the Guardian.
“Although it may not be much for a city, for an individual, it’s already extravagant. This is five million gold coins!” Fang Chang gulped and said, “Can you tell me where you got these gold coins from?”
“The monster dropped it.”
“…” Fang Chang’s lips twitched.
“Pretend I didn’t ask.. Jiang Shan, give me a copy of that material list, and 1’11 help you find them!”
