Fang Mu laughed and shook his head at the comment.
“No need to rush! I’m going to send a message right now for the antitoxin elixir to be prepared!”
“We’ll sign the contract after dinner!”
“Once the antitoxin elixir is ready, it will be handed over to you immediately.
The treatment won’t be delayed because of the contract signing.”
“If your mother is in JA City, you can take it to her as soon as you receive it.”
“If she’s not, it’ll be delivered within a day using express delivery from the Beastmaster Alliance!”
Fang Mu’s words completely transformed the atmosphere at this small dinner table.
The tension transformed into surprise.
Manli kept glancing at Fang Mu, her eyes filled with curiosity, probing, and surprise, but she didn’t think too much about it.
After all, there’re many people in JA city who can afford to hire a private driver for a million Dragon Rising Coins!
However, He Qing thought a lot more deeply than Manli.
She intuitively grasped the subtle point in Fang Mu’s words.
That was, Fang Mu could get the antidote to break the curse of the Curse Night Mamba Snake at a very low price.
This demonstrated Fang Mu’s exceptional ability in obtaining resources more than anything else could.
He Qing dispelled the gloom in her heart, her smile was no longer forced.
“Jianmu, cheers!”
Upon hearing He Qing, Manli quickly waved her hand and said.
“You’re returning kindness with enmity, He Qing!”
“This glass of watermelon juice has at least a liter, and it’s filled with ice cubes.”
“If you chug it down, how can you still eat the saliva frog later!”
“I’m on a diet recently, so I can only eat up to one and a half kilograms.” He Qing rolled her eyes at Manli’s comment.
“Every time you say you’re on a diet, but every time we eat the saliva frog together, you never eat less than three kilograms.”
“If it weren’t for me holding you back last time, you’d have eaten a third bowl of rice! ”
“Stop pretending, you rascal!”
Despite what He Qing said, she realized that her words were inappropriate.
Jianmu was now her boss, and she needed to maintain the attitude of an employee!
“Mr. Jian, I’ll drink first, feel free to join me!”
Holding her cup, He Qing finished her drink in one go!
She even had more gusto than the muscular men chugging beer at the next table!
Fang Mu picked up his glass of watermelon juice and lightly tapped the table.
“I’ll join too! Hope Auntie recovers soon!”
Saying that, Fang Mu also drank a large glass of watermelon juice, hoping that it would help to curb the hunger in his belly.
Fang Mu had been craving the watermelon juice and was eagerly looking for an opportunity to drink it. How could he not join He Qing in the toast!
Fang Mu was so hungry that he felt like chewing on the table within five minutes!
However, in public places, Fang Mu had to control his appetite and could not be too conspicuous!
Seeing both He Qing and Fang Mu finish their watermelon juice, Manli followed suit and drained her glass as well.
At this moment, the voice of a little boy from a neighboring table clearly reached the ears of Fang Mu, Manli, and He Qing.
“Mommy look! There are three big buffaloes over there!”
With the innocence of a child, the trio, who had not changed their clothes before they came out and were still wearing the Scavenger’s badges, didn’t take offense.
Soon, the restaurant served all the dishes that the trio had ordered.
Along with the table where the little boy was sitting, a large plate of garlic-flavored saliva frog was also served.
Just then, the little boy mumbled, looking puzzled.
“Mommy, mommy! When these little green frogs are cooked, they can’t go home. Won’t their mommies worry?”
Hearing this, He Qing winked at Manli.
Manli understood immediately. She mimicked the little boy’s tone and asked He Qing the same question.
Manli deliberately raised her voice and immediately attracted the little boy’s attention.
He Qing shook her head, pointing to the three portions of saliva frog in the dish and said,
“No, their whole family is here!”
Seeing the look of disbelief on the little boy’s face, He Qing finally felt relieved!
Fang Mu, He Qing, and Manli quickly finished all the dishes and rice on the table.
Seeing Manli completely devour the minced garlic from the saliva frog, Fang Mu really wanted to ask Manli.
Sis, are you really planning to lose weight, not gain it!?
Fang Mu, suppressing his hunger, only ate a third of his portion.
After finishing, Fang Mu felt the hunger in his stomach was even more intense than before.
The food he just ate seemed to have made him even hungrier.
It’s like a starving man who only bites an apple and ends up even hungrier than before.
Fang Mu made up an excuse to use the little shop’s restroom.
Luckily, the restroom was pretty clean.
Once he confirmed that there were no cameras in the restroom, Fang Mu took out the nutritional meal stored in the Purple Ice Crystal Ring.
He quickly finished twenty-eight servings before he left the restroom satisfied.
When he left, he didn’t forget to put the packaging of the twenty-eight meals back into the Purple Ice Crystal Ring.
While doing so, Fang Mu couldn’t help but sigh secretly.
Except for himself, probably no one else in the world would use a Sequential Spiritual Instrument to hold trash!
I hope the Dragon Soul of the pterodactyl in the Purple Ice Crystal Ring won’t hold this against me!
Fang Mu did He Qing a favor, but he wasn’t going out of his way to give resources to He Qing for free.
He Qing wouldn’t accept it, and besides, Fang Mu was not a spendthrift.
Fang Mu has always thought that a good transaction is based on equal benefit.
If he helped He Qing without reason, he would seem frivolous and increase the risk of exposing his identity.
While his siblings were careful not to use his resources, for fear of affecting him directly.
There was no reason for him to give away his resources to outsiders.
Fang Mu had no position to be extravagant, this was his principle.
He understood that in a world where force was respected and the resources of a Creator were invaluable.
Only by following this principle could he minimize trouble and protect his interests to the utmost.
Upon leaving the small shop, Fang Mu did not choose to hang out with He Qing and Manli.
Right now, He Qing and Manli’s minds were on the elixir that could lift the Curse of the Night Mamba Snake.
Only by resolving the matter early could He Qing and Manli feel at ease!
Without further ado, Fang Mu brought the two directly to his working room in the Creator’s Guild.
Lu Xiaoyin had now become Fang Mu’s personal steward.
Soon after Lu Xiaoyin resigned as the Team Leader of the Attendants, a newcomer immediately replaced her.
The new leader was Lu Xiaoyin’s former co-worker and well aware of how many invitations from powerful forces Lu Xiaoyin had rejected.
Being able to persuade Lu Xiaoyin to resign from her position as Team Leader of the Attendants, showed how profound Fang Mu’s background was.
The fact that she got her position only because Lu Xiaoyin resigned, made the new leader grateful to Fang Mu!
She had an exceptionally friendly and respectful attitude when receiving Fang Mu, even better than how Lu Xiaoyin treated Fang Mu.
It happened that Manli knew this Attendant Team Leader of the Creator’s
Guild.
This Team Leader was considered a big shot in Manli’s eyes.
Even the humblest person working in the Creator’s Guild had the chance to meet the Creators and obtain their resources.
Let alone the Attendant Team Leader who could meet high-starred creators!
He Qing had already prepared herself mentally.
But seeing the grandeur of Fang Mu, she couldn’t help feeling amazed and impressed.
Seeing Manli’s eyes bulging out in surprise, He Qing coughed lightly.
“Manli, stop acting so naive! It’s embarrassing and makes us look unsophisticated!”
“We’re formal members of the Scavengers and have stable income!”
Manli turned to look at He Qing’s twitching lips and slightly trembling hands, and rolled her eyes towards the ceiling of the Creator’s Guild hall.
“As if you’re any better!”
Although she was rolling her eyes, Manli was very happy for He Qing and for herself.
Being able to work with He Qing in the future, how wonderful!
Less than five minutes after Fang Mu brought He Qing and Manli to his working room, Lu Xiaoyin arrived.
She was almost immediately after Fang Mu.
He Qing and Manli, knowing who the current team leader of the Creator’s Guild is, naturally also knew Lu Xiaoyin.
Lu Xiaoyin had been the team leader for four full years and had secured countless Creator resources!
And now, such a big shot was actually calling Jianmu, “Young Master Mu” the moment she saw him!
According to rumors, Lu Xiaoyin had recently resigned from the Creator’s Guild to accept a private hiring, and that person turned out to be Jianmu!
