Although this adventurer base was tiny, it still contained the essentials.
There was a small market just after walking out the door; however, compared to the unfrequented market in the city, the one here was much more bustling.
They sold all sorts of things, but various kinds of medicine as well as medicinal materials that could be found nearby made up the majority.
Even so, these low and mid-rank medicinal materials that were seen everywhere in the periphery of the Mystic Beast Forest were basically items that no one was interested in purchasing.
However, Qiao Mu’s purpose in coming here today was for these low and mid-rank medicinal materials.
She had come to the market to issue a “collect low and mid-rank medicinal materials” mission. She knew that this adventurer base definitely had a place to specially issue missions.
The 20-mu[1] medicinal garden that her teacher Long Chengyun had left for her mainly consisted of precious medicinal materials that were black-rank and above.
While the white snakelet had also stolen mostly valuable medicinal materials from who knows where.
That’s why she had basically gathered a rather comprehensive collection of black-rank, earth-rank, and heaven-rank exotic herbs.
She even had around a dozen types of divine-rank medicinal materials. However, she was merely missing common low and mid-rank medicinal materials.
Previously, she had also mostly planted mid and high-rank medicinal materials, with only a handful of low-rank, in her medicinal field.
Truthfully speaking, she didn’t even bother to pick those low and mid-rank herbs that were particularly easy to grow. Normally, she would conveniently purchase several stalks at the pharmacy.
After coming to the Mystic Beast Forest, she planned to replenish all the low and mid-rank medicinal materials she lacked previously all in one go. This was to avoid the possibility of getting stupefied because she lacked the basic medicinal materials when she concocted pills in the future!
This area near the forest had all kinds of low-rank herbs, so this mission was absolutely an easy one. There would be plenty of people vying to take it.
Robust mercenaries that carried their broadswords on their shoulders, as well as alluring temptresses who were throwing flirtatious glances everywhere, could be seen practically everywhere in the market.
On the contrary, it was rather rare to see a handsome young sir like Sixth Zheng and an icy and stunning little stoic like Qiao Mu in the market.
Therefore, once the two people appeared, they attracted many gazes.
The two people casually found a stall owner to inquire about the whereabouts of the mission distribution center.
The stall owner enthusiastically pointed out the direction for them at once. “There is, there is. Go straight for 50 meters, and there, that stall with the rippling red flag is it.”
Qiao Mu’s mouth twitched when she saw that crude stall.
Sure enough, there were more people surrounding that stall than anywhere else. It really was a mission distribution center that didn’t pay attention to the particulars.
It seemed like the stall owner saw her distaste, so he explained with a chuckle, “We dispense with all unnecessary formalities here. Little miss, you can just go there if you want to issue a mission.”
Qiao Mu said her thanks before walking up to the “mission distribution center” with Sixth Zheng behind her.
Just as they approached that crude stall, she heard a familiar roar. “Do you comprehend the rules? We tore off this mission first, okay? On what basis are you butting in?”
“Ha! You’re an outsider squad, with just—tsk, tsk—eight to nine useless people, yet you still want to accept a level-three mission. You think you’ve lived for too long, is that it? I’m only thinking of your lives, that’s why I helped you guys tear off this mission first! What are you shouting for? You haven’t heard of our Proud Hawk Squad’s reputation? Then hurry up and ask around the base! Who doesn’t know that our Proud Hawk Squad has already been honorably promoted to a level-three special operation squad!”
Meanwhile, Qiao Mu’s eyes lit up, and she immediately dashed up to that tall fatty with two steps instead of three before briskly calling out, “Hello, Captain!”
