Chapter 113: Chapter 23 Opportunity Chapter 113: Chapter 23 Opportunity Editor: Noodletown Translations “`
Mu Fan woke up after less than five hours of sleep.
It wasn’t because he was worried about the breakthrough opportunity of the Thousand Fierce Rain.
He was literally awakened by hunger!
So hungry, why is he so hungry now?
It seemed that ever since he learned that Dark Breath Martial Arts Skill from the Fighter, he had been especially prone to hunger.
Mu Fan, with a blank face, decided to go downstairs and find the girl with the cute round face at the front desk.
In his eyes, Su Xiaomi was the key to finding food.
Upstairs in room 309, Sampuje had just hung up the Sky Communication with his employer, who said the target would arrive at Area D in the afternoon, ready to perform the dark side protection mission for three days.
This mission’s reward was a whopping three hundred thousand Star Coins, enough for him to live indulgently for a while.
Sampuje couldn’t help but sigh, indeed, the thinking of rich people was hard to imagine.
This time, his task was simply to act as a concealed escort for a young master from a prominent family for three days.
Money was easy to make!
But soon his face turned unpleasant again.
The master downstairs ate over ten thousand Star Coins’ worth of his meals, and now he was just about to start the mission and miss the chance, which was simply too bad.
Should he try to make contact?
Sampuje rubbed his hands, kneaded his face, tried his best to control himself to make a smiling expression in the mirror, and walked out the door.
Mercenary principle: No action, no result!
Su Xiaomi had just received a message, saying that her cousin would arrive tonight to see the family’s base on this planet—the Star Peak Inn—and also to visit his colleague to take care of some business.
What business could it be?
Things at school could be so mysterious.
Although her home was on Blue Capital Star, she had chosen the Taoyun Academy, also one of the Five Great Colleges, to avoid familiar faces every day.
After this holiday, she would be promoted to a second-year student.
Her own vacation was extremely boring, coming to such a place, and the family even called it an inspection.
Since this base had been built as an inn, it was fine, but there were so many oddballs, like that glutton, hmm, who was now walking towards her.
Mu Fan came over with red eyes, and the bloodshot eyes startled Su Xiaomi.
What happened to this gluttonous master?
Was he here to settle accounts?
Could it be he didn’t have money to buy food?
Su Xiaomi’s imagination started running wild.
She suddenly feared Master Hei Fan would bring up the purchase of a luxury meal.
Mu Fan walked up to Su Xiaomi.
Still sleepy, his blank eyes made Su Xiaomi feel uncomfortable all over.
How can one look at a girl like that!
Even if you have a reason, you can’t do this, hmm!
Thinking of this, even the dimples on Su Xiaomi’s face disappeared, and she pouted and glared at Mu Fan.
Mu Fan snapped back to reality, realizing it was inappropriate to look at a girl like that just now.
Awkwardly scratching his head, Mu Fan’s change in demeanor rendered Su Xiaomi speechless.
So, Master, you were just not fully awake!!
Su Xiaomi’s face showed a sweet smile again as she looked at Mu Fan, asking crisply, “Master, hello, is there anything I can help you with?”
“I’m hungry…” Mu Fan’s stomach growled.
Oh no, oh no, he really came to make trouble.
Mu Fan curiously watched as the girl before him quickly clouded a bit with pity, entering a state of confusion, puzzled inside since he didn’t seem to have done anything to her.
Waving his hand in front of the girl’s eyes, Mu Fan spoke, “Hey, can you help me order that luxury meal again?”
“I’ll treat you…what?
Help you order food?
Oh, oh, right away!” Already, having entered into a fantasy, Su Xiaomi suddenly snapped back to reality, realizing Mu Fan was asking for help in ordering food.
Hahaha, indeed, the master is elegant.
Little did he know, this pseudo-master had struck it rich and was now delighted to get to eat such a delectable meal.
Mu Fan had already decided to eat well for the next few days to have the strength to participate in exams.
“Um, Master Hei Fan?” suddenly a pleasantly surprised voice greeted from behind.
Mu Fan turned his head, it was yesterday’s good man!
The one who had given him 20 luxury meals!
“Hello, I didn’t get a chance to thank you yesterday.” Mu Fan replied with a smile.
Poor Sampuje had no idea how Mu Fan perceived him.
It wasn’t as he imagined, like “a friendly friend” or “an amiable mercenary,” but an extremely simple and effective term—”good man”!
“Master, you still remember me, huh.
Hehe, it seems you’re about to eat again.” Sampuje noticed this master seemed about to order again and gritted his teeth.
The opportunity had come, he must seize it this time, even if it meant spending 15k!
“Miss, put the bill on my tab, thanks.” He flashed Su Xiaomi a calm smile.
“Oh, what an honor, hehe.” Mu Fan scratched his head, but his eyes betrayed him.
If it were something under a thousand, he would politely decline.
But this was a luxury meal worth over 10k per serving, the kind of food he drooled over while eating…
this time, he would owe it.
He could repay him someday when he had the chance.
“Master Hei Fan, having the opportunity to meet you is my honor.
I wonder if it would be possible for you to leave me your contact information—I hope to seek your advice on some aspects of Fighting.” Sampuje looked at Mu Fan nervously, it was a make-or-break moment.
“Certainly, here is my Sky Communication.” How could Mu Fan decline such a wealthy patron, who ordered meals worth 15k without batting an eye?
It felt very necessary to know him.
During the exchange of Sky Communication numbers, Mu Fan suddenly noticed the scar on Sampuje’s hand, his gaze flickered.
Right, wasn’t this ready-made?
“Uh, are you free later?” Mu Fan suddenly asked, lifting his head.
“Huh?
Yes, yes!” Sampuje was full of pleasant surprise, feeling like he struck gold.
“I have some Fighting Skills I’d like to discuss with someone, would it be possible to practice with you?”
“Yes!
Yes!” He must be joking, a chance to practice with a Martial Path Master, bought for 30k Star Coins, is simply a great deal.
Sampuje rubbed his hands excitedly and impatiently asked, “When do you think we should go?”
Mu Fan grinned broadly, mission accomplished!
“After I finish eating.”
Half an hour later, Mu Fan and Sampuje appeared in a fighting training field in Area D.
This training field was not far from the Star Peak Inn, and the equipment was quite complete.
At this moment, Mu Fan held a training short stick and faced the robust man in front of him.
Sampuje felt nervous, noting the gap between himself and Master Hei Fan that he had realized when they met, and now he would become the master’s sparring partner.
“I’d like to test a Martial Arts Skill, which is relatively offensive, and I want to verify it through actual combat,” Mu Fan said earnestly.
Sampuje’s heart leaped with joy, getting to spar personally with a Martial Path Master surely meant great improvement to his skills, though his years of experience prompted him to cautiously suggest, “Then I suggest you first attack the power tester to determine the strength level, that way I can decide the best way to cooperate.”
Mu Fan thought he indeed found the right person and nodded in agreement.
The two went to the testing area of this training ground, where there was a 1A-class standard strength tester.
When Mu Fan saw this machine, his thoughts seemed to return to the time a month ago on Loga Star, where the Star Fall Martial Arts Hall also had such an apparatus.
Adjusting his breathing, Mu Fan quietly activated Dark Breath.
Sampuje was surprised to find that the breathing of Master Hei Fan by his side seemingly disappeared—no, it wasn’t that, but rather a state where breathing was entirely imperceptible!
Certainly, in the realm of fighting, it far surpassed himself.
With a buzzing sound, the wooden short stick spun in Mu Fan’s palm, muscles tensed precisely under brain control and burst into power.
Sampuje saw Mu Fan’s right hand lift, followed instantly by hundreds of stick shadows suspended in midair.
Ha!
Mu Fan’s right hand struck out, and the myriad stick shadows vanished in one swift motion.
Bang!
2,658KG!
