Chapter 288: Chapter 64 The Successful Trade and the Roadblocker
Mu Fan looked awkwardly at the girl across from him, wondering how on earth he was supposed to hug her.
“Mu Fan, that old geezer said that the purity of the Inner Wall Heart Liquid of the Heart-locking Grass plays a vital role in stabilizing the core of War Armor. Basically, the minimum requirement is 67%, and every one percent increase can directly enhance the overall performance of the War Armor. The initial estimate for the two Heart-locking Grasses was 67% purity, needing 15 grams of Heart Liquid. If you can achieve a 75% purity, then you’d only need 10 grams of Heart Liquid. The rest could be given to her as a gift to foster goodwill.”
Mu Fan’s mouth hung open as he looked at Bai Guyue.
The shy girl looked at Mu Fan’s expression and instinctively shrank back.
What, she was supposed to be given 5 million!?
No way, absolutely not!
...
“I’m saved! Mu Fan, are you going to use all these grasses?” Rubbing his hands together, Black looked at Mu Fan with eager eyes.
“What’s up? I only need the Heart-locking Grass.”
“Then give the rest to this young lady, and forget about paying me back the 5 million.” Black declared grandly with a sweep of his hand.
“How can this be right? I can compensate with Medicine I produce. I just need the Medicinal Plants inside.” The anxious girl hastily said, rejecting Black’s generous offer. She couldn’t accept an undeserved reward, especially when it was the boy in front of her who had made the bid, so why was Black the one calling the shots?
What sort of play was this?
Mu Fan looked at Black’s excited eyes and nodded, signaling him to calm down.
He then asked, “If you can purify the two Heart-locking Grasses to 75%, how much in grams? I only need 10 grams. The rest I can give to you.”
Bai Guyue finally perked up and hurriedly said, “I need about 7 grams. I should be able to purify 20 grams to a 75% standard from these two Heart-locking Grasses. I only need about 7 grams; with that and the other Medicinal Plants, there will be no problem.”
“Deal.”
“Ah… really? Thank you so much!!” Bai Guyue bowed in thanks after a moment of stunned silence, “I only need about fifteen of these Medicinal Plants in here. I don’t need the rest of the ores and notes. Thank you again for your generosity. I’ll make the Medicine and bring it over.”
“Mu Fan, I owe you a favor for this!! Thanks, bro!!” Suddenly, Black grabbed Mu Fan’s hand and shook it vigorously.
“What’s wrong with you?” Mu Fan was a bit flustered; it was him who had borrowed money, so how come it felt like Black was the one…
“This commanding officer is on the verge of a breakthrough! Hahaha.” Black, thrilled, thumped his chest so hard it sounded like thunder, then turned to Bai Guyue with a pleasing tone, “I’ll give you the rest of these Medicinal Plants, but you gotta give me that bottle of brain area repair agent when it’s done.”
“I can pay for it.” The innocent girl quickly explained.
“No need! Just consider it as my payment for the Medicine!”
“You need a brain area repair agent?” The girl tilted her head as she inspected Black’s eyes, especially the sclera, then suddenly asked, “Do you have a Spirit Synchronizer? Are you trying to use this brain area repair agent to solidify your spirit and attempt a permanent increase in your sync rate?”
“Correct…” That was simply godly.
“No, I see some pale red mixed with a little black at the bottom of your eyes. You need to get a check-up. I feel like your brain area has already started to show signs of stealth damage, which you haven’t noticed yet. So I’ll try to perform deep realignment on the brain area repair agent, specifically enhancing its repair effects.”
At this, Black excitedly reached out to grab the girl’s hand, but she deftly avoided it.
“Hahaha… how awkward.”
Black dryly spit out a few words.
“I’ll go and sign in a while. Let’s exchange contact information. After you get things sorted, you can contact me, but only on weekends. I won’t carry my Sky Communication during the week.”
“Alright! My Sky Communication number is LD9891AC12823.”
“Bai Guyue, verified as an Intermediate Medicinal Plant Master from the Biological and Pharmacist Association.” The voice of Black resounded, instantly verifying the girl’s Sky Communication number.
“Alright, got it.” Casually making the call back and hanging up, Mu Fan prompted her to save his Sky Communication number too.
On the other side, Black rubbed his hands excitedly, feeling like he had encountered a turning point in his Destiny.
A young girl had seen through the stealth damage in his brain area with just one glance.
Didn’t his legendary Warship need a Chief Medical Officer and a Botanist?
Hey, that’s an idea!
Lit up with inspiration, Black followed behind the two, impressed with his own brilliant plan.
I’m such a damn genius.
The girl who had Mu Fan’s number was blushing, evidently in a much better mood.
“In the Isolation Ball, there might be unknown toxins, I can help with the detection and neutralization later. I have brought a constant temperature storage device with me today, could you give me those plants today?”
The source of this c𝓸ntent is freewebnøvel.coɱ.
“Sure.”
“Alright, then we’ll sign a contract later at the auction house.”
“No need.”
“How can that be? This offers you no protection.”
“It’s alright, Mu Fan doesn’t need protection, and neither do I, your happiness is the priority.” White Hair chimed in opportunistically from behind.
Soon, the group arrived at the backstage of the auction podium, where rows of attendants were directing people.
“I’ll go take care of this and wait for me at the exit.” White Hair said goodbye and then left, following a shapely female attendant.
Mu Fan and Bai Guyue quickly entered a private, single-person vault and saw the Isolation Ball that had been quietly placed there.
“Sir, would you like to use the bank’s complimentary delivery service, as per the information from your palm board earlier?”
“Yes, but change the content. I’ll take some of the items with me now.”
“Sir, there is a certain risk involved in opening it now. Are you willing to accept this? Please confirm with your palm print.”
Without any hesitation, Mu Fan extended his hand, then turned to the girl beside him.
“You can start harvesting.”
A pair of transparent membranes magically appeared in the girl’s hand, and after some peculiarly complex maneuvers, they were stretched open by her right hand, encapsulating a tiny chip flickering with green light.
The attendant had already left, and the whole vault was in a fully sealed state.
The moment the Isolation Ball’s seal opened, the girl’s hand moved like lightning to cover it, and the entrapped green light spun around. After 5 seconds, it was still green.
“Safe, whew~”
The girl skillfully put away the membranes, then caught Mu Fan staring directly at her, and her face turned red in an instant.
Mu Fan then realized, the girl’s dexterity had been quite an eye-opener for him.
“Take whatever you need,” Mu Fan said.
Ten minutes later, the girl had slung over her shoulder a transparent, tubular container that could self-adjust its color, following Mu Fan out of the containment area and onto the floating stairs leading to the exit.
Her face, flushed with joy and relief, radiated happiness—a big haul!
They arrived at the exit level, and the floating stair doors opened.
They stepped out one after the other.
A few seconds later, Mu Fan, walking in front, suddenly stopped.
White Hair, unprepared and following close behind, bumped into Mu Fan’s back once more.
Ouch…
Rubbing her forehead, Bai Guyue was about to speak when she saw the situation ahead and instead shrank back behind Mu Fan.
That person… looked so menacing.
As Mu Fan had just stepped off the floating stairs, a figure leaning against the wall in a grey robe suddenly stood up.
With a cold gaze cast their way, Mu Fan and his companion found their path instantly blocked.
The dark gold mask with ancient patterns made the eyes behind it seem colder and even more lifeless.
“Is there something you need?”
Mu Fan’s eyes slightly lowered, his tone calm.
