Inside the small yard, the young man, who still have on his bamboo hat, sat in front of the table along with Chen Yun eating their hearts out.

 

Qin Luo, on the other hand, stood to one side as he held in his arms a German-made Mauser rifle, dumbfounded.

 

How was he able to actually produce a 98K?

 

Who the heck was he?

 

And why didn’t I ask for a AWM or a Barrett, was I stupid?

 

“Oh wait!!” Qin Luo suddenly came to and shouted loudly, “Save me some!”

 

He turned around, just in time to see the young man holding the tub with both hands while licking it sparkling clean…

 

“That was so delicious, just a bit light on the quantity!” said the man as he put the tub down, seemingly still not entirely satisfied, “I apologize, I ate too fast. It seemed I was eating twice as fast as I normally do…”

 

Chen Yun, also embarrassed, said, “Yeah, I also felt that I was eating faster than usual….”

 

Qin Luo’s face darkened, this heng gone fish was way too powerful. These two had polished off the entire tub of fish within a matter of minutes!

 

If there weren’t anyone around, Qin Luo strongly believe that this self-proclaimed mysterious merchant would have swallowed the tub as well…

 

And he had planned on saving some fish for tonight… now even the soup was all gone!

 

Standing next to the young man, Qin Luo looked at him with the saddest eyes, like a much-abused daughter-in-law.

 

His look made the young man feel very uneasy, so he laughed, “Alright, how about I give you something additional?”

 

“Well, you said it! I didn’t force you!”

 

“No force, no force!” Smiling, the young man produced a small, round, red ball.

 

Qin Luo examined the little ball on his palm and asked, “What is this?”

 

“Mystical pet ball. You see that red button on top of it?”

 

Qin Luo nodded. There was, indeed, a button on top of it.

 

“You press the button and throw it at any mystical beast, and it will turn it into your pet and never, ever leave your side!”

 

“That amazing?” Qin Luo was a bit skeptical. Any mystical beasts? That meant he would be able to convert dragons and phoenixes into his pets?

 

“Of course! I already told you I am the most powerful merchant in the Gan Yuan world!” said the young man full of self-confidence. “You can always try it out if you don’t believe me.”

 

“Oh, I am trying!” said Qin Luo as he depressed the button and throw it over the wall, “Like this, right? Do I need to shout out any command verbally as well?”

 

“Meow~!” suddenly a pitiful cat meowing sound came from the other side of the wall!

 

Both of their faces turned dark, “Oh crap!”

 

They ran outside the yard, just in time to see a small, orange cat floating in midair waving its paws frantically. The mystical pet ball turned into a rainbow and circled the cat with great speed.

 

The rainbow went faster and faster. The little, red cat started illuminating rainbow colors as the rainbow became lighter and lighter in color until it finally disappeared altogether.

 

Qin Luo was closed to tears, “I thought you said it’s only for mystical beasts…”

 

“Oh, I think I left my stove on at home. Gotta run!!” The young man turned pale and started dashing away. He quickly disappeared around the corner of the street , “SEEEE~YOOOUU~LAATER~~”

 

“Oh damn, he just ran straight away now that he has 2x speed?” said Qin Luo as he stomped his feet in annoyance. “Don’t ever let me see you again!”

 

When the little orange cat landed on it’s feet again, it ran straight toward Qin Luo. It’s simple and straightforward look was quite cute. Qin Luo scooped him up, and the kitty was already licking him with its soft, pink tongue.

 

“Don’t, don’t, don’t. That tickles! Hang on! Are you hungry, little thing? Oh yeah, you are a cat and not a dog, oh good, oh good….”

11:30 PM, a lot of mercenaries had already gathered outside of the old church in the 13th district. They were not far from the start time of the mission.

 

The military had set up a very strong line of defense outside the church, led by a captain with his 300 or so men.

 

When Qin Luo, carrying the little orange kitty with him, arrived with Chen Yun, they could spot Lancelot from far, far away.

 

Well, they didn’t exactly look for him on purpose, but he was wearing a golden armor that looked like 1,000 watt light bulbs in the middle of the night, and the extra bright LED ones to top. It was impossible not to spot him!

 

All Qin Luo could see was $$$ in front of his eyes. “Dang! That fool’s armor looks like it’s worth a lot of money, maybe I will be able to find an opportunity to pry a piece of it off to trade in for money… maybe his entire team will be annihilated… all their gears look fancy!”

 

Standing nearby Lancelot was six of his teammates. One of them was the short man they’ve met in the morning. Three of them were big, stocky men, plus a long-hair man with a longbow on his back, and a woman in a white robe.

 

The short man was cloaked in an all-black outfit, with two daggers adorned by jewels. The three stocky men have on their backs overly huge swords, all of them in uniformly grey armor. They weren’t as showy as Lancelot’s, but one could still tell they weren’t of low-quality.

 

Only those in the knows would know that the long-hair guy’s dark-grey long bow was no less valuable than Lancelot’s armor. The plain-looking bow was made out of the single horn of a Xie Zhi, a high level mystical beast. Rumor had it that one could add lightning ability to it, making it priceless.

 

The woman in the white robe seemed very cold. She had in her hand a silver staff and a very intricate, four-winged angel badge on top of her prominent bosom, a tell-tale sign that she was a high-level white mage!
