They waited for the following word only for it to shatter their confidence further.
The attendant sighs as she continued: "Well, first of all, you guys shouldn't stay here further, you should hide for a few days."
"Eh? Big sis, why would you even say that?"
"Yeah, we've been here ever since we've started holding our swords, why are you throwing us away just like that because of a stranger?"
All of them protested, they liked the attendant, she's also the 50% motivation of the mercenaries to get missions every day.
The attendant chuckles as she continued: "Well, It's better if I show you guys instead."
As she finished speaking, she took one of the missions from the SS grade mission book and showed it to them.
All of them looked at the mission as their scalp started to shake, their skin's pores opened as their chest heaves up and down, the more they read, the more they felt fear.
Mission: SS grade
Mission Objective: Draconic Beast Core (Immortal Foundation Rank)
Reward: Choose between favor from Elder Zuo / A treasure chest worth 300 years of work for a normal mercenary.
This reward definitely is something to lavish, but the objective, all of them felt shaken, it's more than ten folds the hardship compared to an S grade mission, but the reward is multiplied too.
The attendant placed the mission paper back inside the book and spoke: "If you can see the difference in the level of an S rank mission and an SS rank mission, you should be able to tell the difference between an SSS rank mission too."
Hearing her words, the mercenary immediately knows what she meant.
"I... I think I need to take a huge dump for a week..."
"I miss my family, maybe I should return to my village soon..."
"I... I think I'll just hideaway for a few weeks."
"We bid you, for now, I think I need to sleep for a few weeks too..."
"Ay- Just... I just..."
Immediately, those that laughed at Mo Xie and sneered at his words immediately went away, there are some of those that were just tagging along and only laugh yet hid too.
Meanwhile, Mo Xie made his way towards one of the mission's place, he couldn't help but laugh as he stares at the missions written on each of the papers, out of the twenty-four missions, 18 are from the Alchemy Association, which ten of them are extremely a comedy.
Mission: SSS grade
Mission Objective: Any Pill that grants or stops aging.
Reward: Depending on the Pill's performance.
Requestor: Vice Master Yan Ning (Flowing Wind Garden)
Mission: SSS grade
Mission Objective: Ancient Notes for Guqin
Reward: Three pieces of Immortal ranked herbs
Requestor: Auction House Master, Li Fei Mang
(Note: Guqin is an ancient Chinese instrument from the zither family.)
Mo Xie frowns at the name Li Fei Mang: "Is this one a boy or a girl?"
"Immortal ranked herbs..."
Mo Xie smiled, to think that there are even Immortal ranked herbs! The one he had been getting from this plain are mortal herbs from grade 1 to grade 7, he luckily got a grade 9 mortal herb from the Mourning Sun Sect for a mere 3-star soul weapon, such an exchange is definitely worth it.
But Immortal ranked herbs, even a grade 10 mortal herb wouldn't come close to a grade 1 immortal herb, the difference is as huge as earth and heaven.
He then continued flipping the book and started finding some easier missions to accomplish, he has limited time for now, but he'll come back here to complete some more, after all, the rewards they offer are extremely tempting, especially for him that needs some upgrade.
Mo Xie's eyes glowed as he saw three more that seemed quite interesting.
Mission Objective: How to increase a Pill's efficiency
Reward: Ten pieces Immortal ranked herbs
Requestor: East Palace Master Xue Gang
Mission: SSS grade
Mission Objective: Buying an Ancient Pill Recipe that boosts spiritual strength
Reward: To be discussed
Requestor: Association Master, Bei Ming
Mo Xie couldn't help seeing Bei Ming's request, after all, he was about to put three pieces of pill recipe, and one of them boosts spiritual strength.
Mo Xie tossed the recipe in the air as he smirked: "Association Master first then."
The East and West Palace Masters will be next, all of it has little to no preparation, hence, Mo Xie decided to do these three missions first, it also gives the best benefits from the missions that the Alchemy Association has to offer.
He strode immediately and asked for directions, a lot of people jeered at him but some still helped, those that helped him immediately received a reward of ten gold taels.
Although it wasn't of use to him, to the normal mercenaries, it's a full month's worth of salary.
After a while, Mo Xie arrived at the center of the Alchemy Association, the Grand Palace.
Mo Xie immediately made his way towards the entrance.
"Hold, this area is off limit." A guard immediately stopped him from his tracks.
Mo Xie smiled and nods his head: "I'm here after accepting a mission that was posted by your Association Master, Bei Ming, please notify him of my arrival."
"That... Our Master is currently in a meeting with a VIP, you should go back once the meeting is done." The guard didn't know what to do, but the people that visited are ones that even their master bowed to when he saw them, he immediately knew who's more important.
Mo Xie didn't want to make things hard for the guard, but he really has a time limit: "I will be gone in less than twelve hours, It's not known when will I return, just pass along my message that I am here to fulfill the one on the mission board."
No one knew that the Association Master posted something on the board himself, but if it really is, then, they will definitely be scolded if they didn't report such an important matter.
"Then, please wait here for a while, we will send someone to notify the Association Master." The guard replied quite hesitantly.
Mo Xie nods his head: "Then I will wait."
The guards bowed as he immediately made one of his team go and notify the Association Master.
After a few breaths of time, the guard returned panting, gasping for air: "Haaaa, p-please... a-guide him to the... meeting hall..."
Seeing the guard's panting, the other guards knew that this is definitely a matter of importance, they didn't even hesitate and spoke.Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.
"Please follow me, I'll bring you to our Association Master now."
Mo Xie nods his head as he followed the guard. Arriving in the center of the palace, there's a round stone, the Guard stood there and spoke: "Please come over here."
Mo Xie nods again, he couldn't believe it at first, but as soon as it started to hover, he smiled and thought; 'So there are things like here too, the difference between the Kingdoms and the Alchemy Association is truly vast.'
After a while, Mo Xie and the guard arrived at the top of the palace. The guard led Mo Xie in front of a huge door, he knocks on the door: "Association Master, the guest has arrived."
"Let him in."
The guard immediately withdrew as the two guards inside opened the huge door.
"Young expert, I hope you brought such a delightful thing for me." The Association Master spoke, he then looked at the two in front of him who was called the VIP guests and spoke: "I hope you wouldn't mind this selfish request of mine."
The taller person spoke: "It is us who are disturbing you, helping is merely something we wish to offer."
The Association Master smiled: "Then, you have my thanks."
Mo Xie looked at the two experts sitting side by side with their backs facing him and couldn't help but sigh: "They are here too..."
These two are none other than the Ouyang siblings, he couldn't help but sigh: "Maybe I should've done this last..."
Hearing Mo Xie's words, Ouyang Bingyun frowns as she looks back and the person she saw really is the one in her mind: "Y-you! Why do you keep stalking us!"
Mo Xie rolled his eyes; "Why would I even know you both are here."
"Y-you!" Bingyun felt speechless as Mo Xie's sharp tongue immediately made her one.
The Association Master couldn't help but looked at the Bingyun who was graceful earlier but now, her demeanor is that of a person that's quarreling with a lover, he couldn't help but smile: "So it seemed that this young expert is a friend of you two."
