Chapter 62: Dogs Bite People, People Can’t Bite Dogs
Jiang Taotao’s expression didn’t change.
But the others showed some surprise.
"Only level 17, you must be joking."
"Even if we need to bring someone, we can’t just pick up any random person."
A man holding a staff walked into the courtyard, his voice carrying arrogance and insolence.
Ning Yiyi looked displeased, "Ling Zhen, watch what you say. Moyu is the national top scholar."
Ling Zhen sneered, "National top scholar? Compared to us, that’s nothing."
"We’ve seen national top scholars before. They’re all trash."
He was extremely arrogant, not taking Lin Moyu or the national top scholar title seriously at all.
The others in the courtyard also showed proud expressions.
As if what Ling Zhen said was fact.
The national top scholar really wasn’t valued by them.
"Ling Zhen, your words stink like farts," Ning Yiyi retorted directly.
Ling Zhen snorted coldly, ignoring Ning Yiyi. He arrogantly raised his head, "Your name is Lin Moyu, right? I know Lord White God introduced you."
"Don’t think you can do whatever you want just because you have connections with Lord White God."
"In our Hidden Dragon team, we value strength."
"It’s fine to bring you along for this trial, but please keep quiet and don’t make a sound. Better not drag us down, or I’ll be the first to deal with you."
Lin Moyu was speechless, feeling this guy’s arrogance was over the top.
He had seen arrogant people before - Xia Xue was arrogant enough as the young miss of the Xia family.
But not like this guy.
"Brain-dead?" Lin Moyu suddenly spoke.
Ling Zhen’s face changed, "What did you say?!"
His staff immediately burst into red flames, releasing powerful energy waves.
Ning Yiyi stepped in front of Lin Moyu, "Ling Zhen, you dare!"
Jiang Taotao also came over to block Ling Zhen, "Ling Zhen, stop."
Seeing Jiang Taotao, Ling Zhen gradually retracted his aura, the flames on his staff extinguishing.
"Sister Tao, I’ll give you face."
He glared fiercely at Lin Moyu before walking aside without another word.
But his resentment towards Lin Moyu was obvious.
Jiang Taotao turned to Lin Moyu, "We leave at 9 AM tomorrow, gather here."
"I can only tell you the specific trial details tomorrow."
Lin Moyu nodded, "Understood."
"Let’s go buy some things and prepare," Ning Yiyi pulled Lin Moyu away.
Seeing them leave, Jiang Taotao sighed lightly, "Ling Zhen, I know you’re resentful. But personal grudges can’t affect the trial. Plus he was introduced by Lord White God, be careful."
Ling Zhen said irritably, "I know my limits. I’m just annoyed - if we’re bringing someone, it should be someone useful. What career is Necromancer? Have you heard of it?"
Jiang Taotao shook her head, "He’s the national top scholar. Though that doesn’t mean much to us, becoming top scholar must mean he has something special."
Someone interjected, "Necromancer seems to be a new career that just appeared this year. It’s said to be a unique career."
Ling Zhen still looked disdainful, "New careers appear every few years, but most are trash."
Ning Yiyi pulled Lin Moyu towards the exchange, saying, "Don’t argue with that guy, he’s crazy and not worth it."
Lin Moyu said softly, "Dogs bite people, people can’t bite dogs."
"Haha!" Ning Yiyi laughed, not expecting Lin Moyu to have this side.
They arrived at the Imperial Exchange.
Lin Moyu quickly sold all the items he got from the West Sea Mine dungeon.
He didn’t choose consignment.
He turned in materials for recycling quests at the exchange.
He directly sold the weapons and equipment to the exchange.
Weapon grades were Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, with Legendary and Mythic above that.
Bronze was just entry-level, suitable for level 10-20 professionals, not worth much.
Each weapon was priced around 10,000 gold coins.
After emptying his storage space, Lin Moyu exchanged for 230,000 gold coins.
Though not much, it was enough for him to use for a while.
Ning Yiyi said, "We’re going on the trial tomorrow, you should buy some red and blue potions."
The "red and blue potions" she mentioned were healing and mana potions.
Healing potions could treat injuries. Because the liquid was red, professionals called them red potions.
Mana potions were similar, named for their blue color, used to restore spirit power.
These two potions were the most commonly used consumables by professionals.
[Junior Life Potion, can heal injuries, suitable for below level 20, 1 hour cooldown.]
[Junior Spirit Potion, can restore spirit power, suitable for below level 20, 1 hour cooldown.]
Both potions cost 1000 gold coins each.
Following Ning Yiyi’s advice, Lin Moyu bought 10 of each.
He spent 20,000 gold coins.
Lin Moyu then used 200,000 gold coins to buy two junior skill scrolls.
He was left with only 10,000 gold coins.
Money really flowed like water.
Then they went to the University Exchange and used 100 points to buy a communication device.
The device looked like a watch, convenient to wear on the wrist, a necessity for every student.
They added each other as friends, so they could call anytime.
Ning Yiyi waved her small hand, revealing snow-white skin, "Now I can bother you anytime!"
Lin Moyu looked at the butterfly-like Ning Yiyi, also showing a faint smile.
