59: Chapter 59 Tu Xiaxia is in trouble
Seeing Bu Xingguo and his group retreat, neither Tang Mo nor Fang Wenqian chose to pursue them.
For such heinous villains, forcing them into a corner might lead to unpredictable, crazy actions.
Naturally, such matters should be left to the Professionals—the military—to handle.
After Tang Mo and Fang Wenqian departed, two figures slowly emerged from the roadside.
"Hmm, a good seedling.
Being able to respond calmly and composedly when facing opponents with much higher levels than his own—this temperament alone is already commendable.
Plus, this kid's skill damage is just too high!"
As he spoke, Wei Shenchou turned his gaze toward Deng Song beside him.
"Don't look at me; I only know he is a hidden class, and he has more skills than other Professionals. I don't know anything else."
Deng Song smiled, then his expression returned to seriousness.
"However, since that desperate criminal Bu Xingguo has returned, we must notify the military personnel quickly, lest he stir up another bloodbath in Fengtan City."
"Alright, Old Wei, I won't accompany you any longer. Don't forget to allocate the funds to Leize Hall when the time comes."
Deng Song reminded Wei Shenchou as he walked back.
"This old geezer..."
Watching Deng Song's departing back, Wei Shenchou cursed with a laugh, then headed in Tang Mo's direction.
That Bu Xingguo is just a level 78 fugitive; leaving him to the local military is enough.
Tang Mo is a talent he had such a hard time finding; he can't afford to lose track of him.
Unable to resist Fang Wenqian's pestering, Tang Mo eventually told her his address.
Afterwards, the two parted ways at the teleportation station.
Returning to Jiangkou City, Tang Mo first took a car to the Professional Management Association.
Since he had already obtained two common-grade skill evolution scrolls, there was no need to keep the materials on him any longer.
Additionally, he planned to purchase some secret technique scrolls for self-defense or life-saving.
The experience of fighting the Water-Fire Poison Toad was still fresh in his mind; the fierce beasts and dungeon monsters he would encounter in the future would only get stronger, so it was time to prepare these protective and life-saving items.
Arriving at the association, Tang Mo was surprised to learn that Su Xintian had been transferred away.
With no other choice, Tang Mo had to find an arbitrary association staff member to conduct the transaction.
Seeing the large pile of skill evolution materials Tang Mo took out, the staff member was overjoyed.
If this deal went through, her commission would be substantial.
Thinking of this, Xia Xiang immediately began to count them carefully.
Today, she had specifically worn a modern-style qipao with a high slit that went all the way to the top of her thigh.
Every time Xia Xiang crouched down to count the materials, her straight, slender legs inside the qipao were exposed directly to Tang Mo's eyes.
However, Tang Mo was staring intently at the material list in Xia Xiang's hands, having absolutely no time to pay attention to the seductive scene before him.
A trace of slight disappointment flashed in Xia Xiang's eyes.
The materials were quickly counted. Since they were all materials needed for skill evolution, the price was relatively high.
Tang Mo received a total of over 2 million gold coins.
"The gold coins have already been deposited into your badge. Is there anything else I can help you with?"
"I would like to purchase some secret technique scrolls. May I take a look first?"
"Yes, of course you can. Please follow me this way."
Hearing that Tang Mo also wanted to purchase secret technique scrolls, Xia Xiang was even happier.
Buy, buy, the more you buy, the better!
The more you buy, the more commission I get!
Tang Mo followed her all the way to the secret technique scroll sales area.
Xia Xiang also thoughtfully brought a secret technique scroll catalog for Tang Mo.
It was a thick book, looking even sturdier than Xia Xiang's petite frame.
Tang Mo opened it and began to flip through it one by one.
【Sealing Scroll (Disposable Item): Upon activation, all creatures within a radius of a dozen meters will be directly sealed into an alternate dimension. (Price: 9 million gold coins)】
【Teleportation Scroll (Disposable Item): Upon activation, the user will be randomly teleported to any location within a radius of a dozen kilometers. (Price: 10 million gold coins)】
【Defense Scroll (Disposable Item): Upon activation, it can generate a defensive barrier to protect the user from attacks, capable of withstanding the strongest blow from a level 100 fierce beast at most. (Price: 15 million gold coins)】
【Summoning Sealing Scroll (Two-use Item): Can seal the corpse of any creature with a level not exceeding 200 into the scroll; it can be released when needed to assist in battle. (Price: 90 million gold coins)】
...
The various secret technique scrolls recorded in the catalog made Tang Mo's eyes swim.
However, the more powerful the secret technique scroll, the more expensive the price.
Of course, the price of the secret technique scrolls themselves was not cheap to begin with.
Before going to the Poison Thunder Marsh, Tang Mo had been constantly clearing dungeons and hunting fierce beasts.
Currently, the gold coins he had on him totaled over 20 million.
Wealthy, yet it didn't seem wealthy enough.
Tang Mo did a rough calculation; his money was only enough to buy one Sealing Scroll and one Teleportation Scroll, or one Defense Scroll.
The Defense Scroll was useless to Tang Mo.
Those special spell attacks could almost all ignore defense.
And the attacks that the Defense Scroll could block posed no threat to Tang Mo anyway.
The Sealing Scroll was also like a chicken rib to Tang Mo.
Tang Mo's poison damage had no time limit; even if he wore the opponent down bit by bit, he could kill them.
The Sealing Scroll was completely unnecessary.
After eliminating the others, the only thing he could afford that was actually useful to Tang Mo was the Teleportation Scroll.
Although it could only teleport a dozen kilometers, it might save his life at a critical moment.
"I want to buy two Teleportation Scrolls."
"Very well."
Xia Xiang was instantly beaming with joy, so happy she was about to jump up.
She hurriedly ran into the warehouse to retrieve the items Tang Mo needed.
After paying, Tang Mo originally intended to go straight home, but unexpectedly bumped into Wang Kaiwen at the association entrance.
By this time, Wang Kaiwen had reached level 9, and the slacker look from before was no longer on his face; he looked much more spirited.
Seeing Tang Mo, Wang Kaiwen was also surprised and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
The two felt that chatting outside the door wasn't very comfortable, so they simply sat down at a small stall nearby to eat and chat.
"See that? Your buddy is already level 9. In three or four days, I'll be able to reach level 10!
How about it? Impressive, right?"
"I will be the third Professional in the class to reach level 10, after you and Tu Xiaoxia."
Tang Mo smiled and nodded, "Impressive, impressive."
"Sigh, by the way, where have you been lately? The principal called you so many times and couldn't find you; he even asked me."
Tang Mo checked his phone; sure enough, there were forty or fifty missed calls, most of which were from the principal, Lin Hanwen, and there were also some unknown phone numbers.
Tang Mo had been in the Poison Thunder Marsh Secret Realm at the time, so how could he have received these calls? So he asked,
"Did something happen? Why did the principal call me so many times?"
Wang Kaiwen sighed softly,
"It seems you really don't know; Tu Xiaoxia is in trouble!
Her father, who is the guild leader of the Tyrant Slaughter Guild, has become a wanted criminal!
Now she has disappeared along with him!"
