100: Wang Chen's distress

Blazing Dragon University, Trading Area.

"None?"

Wang Chen sat on the sofa and couldn't help but straighten up when he heard the trading manager's reply.

After leaving the Secret Realm Dungeon Hall, he rushed to the trading area without stopping, wanting to purchase fox heart grass, the advancement Materials for Susu.

But the result...

He asked several stores in a row, and all the replies were that they didn't have it.

And even if Wang Chen offered to buy it at a premium, offering double the price of an S-grade Material, the people at the trading house said they were powerless.

"Manager Li, although fox heart grass is an S-grade Material, it shouldn't be this difficult, right?"

Looking at the respectful trading manager in front of him, Wang Chen scratched his head and asked helplessly:

"You are the largest trading house at Blazing Dragon University, don't you really have any connections?"

"Mr. Wang, I'm really sorry!"

Hearing his words, Manager Li of the trading house smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"If it were other S-grade Materials, even SS-grade Materials, our small shop would have a way to get them."

"But this fox heart grass is truly too special, and it's of no use to Awakeners, so we are truly powerless."

Manager Li looked at Wang Chen, feeling incredibly helpless.

As soon as Wang Chen entered the shop, he had already recognized the most prominent freshman at Blazing Dragon University.

To be honest, for an S-grade Material, let alone Wang Chen offering double the price, even if he didn't give a single cent and he just gave it away for free, he would be willing.

But for fox heart grass, he really had no way.

"Oh?"

"Manager Li, what is so special about this fox heart grass?"

Hearing this, Wang Chen couldn't help but sit up straight, his gaze fixed on the opposite side.

fox heart grass was a crucial Material for Susu to enter the next growth stage, and he had to get it no matter what.

"Mr. Wang, this fox heart grass comes from the Qing Qiu Clan and is a precious sacred object of their clan. It is said to have a miraculous effect on the Fox Clan in awakening their innate wisdom, and it has always been strictly controlled by the Qing Qiu Clan."

"Now, the relationship between our Blue Star Human Race and the Qing Qiu Clan is tense, and coupled with the fact that fox heart grass is of no use to Awakeners, there is simply no fox heart grass circulating on the market."

Manager Li said with a bitter smile, looking at Wang Chen.

In the Myriad Heavens Battlefield, the Qing Qiu Fox Clan and the Blue Star Human Race are in an adversarial relationship. Although no major wars have occurred between them, there are quite a few minor skirmishes, and the relationship is very tense.

Of course,

For merchants like Manager Li, these were not problems; with a hundred percent profit, they would dare to take risks.

The main reason was still that fox heart grass was useless to Awakeners.

Even if they secretly obtained fox heart grass from the Qing Qiu Clan, there would be no market for it.

Therefore, all along, apart from being recorded in the Encyclopedia of Magical Materials, finding a single fox heart grass in the market was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.

Hearing this, Wang Chen couldn't help but feel a huge headache.

This outcome was something he hadn't expected.

"Is there no other way?"

"Manager Li, if you know where there's any news about fox heart grass, I can also buy it at a high price."

Looking at Manager Li, Wang Chen asked with some reluctance.

"Mr. Wang, there really is no way."

Hearing his words, Manager Li spread his hands helplessly. For something with no profit, these merchants simply wouldn't pay attention to it.

"How about you ask that adult?"

Manager Li thought of the rumors circulating at Blazing Dragon University these past few days and cautiously suggested.

Adult?

Wang Chen naturally knew who Manager Li was referring to.

But, he had just received a lot of benefits from his Master, and he hadn't even achieved anything in his cultivation yet, and he was already going to trouble his Master again.

Wang Chen admitted that his skin wasn't that thick yet.

But fox heart grass was the key Material for Susu's advancement. If he couldn't find it, would Susu be stuck at level forty forever?

He thought to himself, turning his head to look at the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox, who was staring wide-eyed at Ice Purity.

This little fellow had really given him a huge problem.

"Sigh!"

"It seems there's no other way!"

Thinking to himself, he stood up to bid farewell to Manager Li.

However, at this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came.

"Wang Chen."

Wang Chen turned his head and saw Situ Yu walking gracefully into the trading house.

"What a coincidence, you're here to buy things too?"

Wang Chen looked at Situ Yu curiously.

"Buy what? I came to find you."

Hearing this, Situ Yu rolled her eyes and said in a slightly sour tone:

"You're really a busy person. I saw the post on the forum and ran to the Secret Realm Dungeon Hall, but I drew a blank."

"You didn't reply to my messages either. If someone hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have known you came here."

"Post?"

Hearing this, Wang Chen was bewildered. After coming out of the Secret Realm Dungeon Hall, he went straight to the trading house and didn't pay attention to the information on his data wristband at all.

"It seems you still don't know how popular you are now?"

Seeing Wang Chen's expression, Situ Yu said irritably.

As she spoke, she opened her data wristband and clicked on the pinned post on the forum.

Seeing this post, Wang Chen scratched his head, not expecting to become famous in this way again.

No wonder.

On the way to the trading area, the senior students he met all had strange expressions on their faces.

"By the way, what did you need me for?"

He briefly scanned a few lines and then turned to look at Situ Yu.

"Someone didn't reply to messages, and the Support Academy instructor summoned, so I, this tool person, could only run errands."

Situ Yu rolled her eyes and said somewhat speechlessly, "Can't you just turn on your ringer?"

Hearing this, Wang Chen was a little embarrassed.

Too many people had added him as a friend these past few days, constantly asking after him, which annoyed him so much that he simply muted his data wristband.

"What does the instructor want me for?"

He rubbed his nose and asked awkwardly.

"I'm not exactly sure," Situ Yu shook her head and said, "They said it's related to your Nine-tailed Fox."

Hmm?

Upon hearing this, Wang Chen immediately perked up and dragged Situ Yu towards the Support Academy.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go quickly!"

...

Soon.

Wang Chen and Situ Yu arrived at the Support Academy and found Mu Wanying, their nominal instructor.

"Hello, Teacher."

As soon as they met, Wang Chen looked at Mu Wanying with anticipation in his eyes.

Having returned empty-handed from the trading area earlier, he was now very much hoping to get good news from his instructor.

"You came quite fast."

Seeing Wang Chen's expression, Mu Wanying smiled and looked at the young man in front of her with a playful gaze.

"I called you here, and I'm sure you've guessed my intention."

"However, I can't directly give you what you want; you'll have to strive for it yourself."

Mu Wanying said, waving her hand and taking out an invitation from the table.

Ah?

Hearing this, Wang Chen was a little disappointed, but when he read the contents of the invitation, his eyes suddenly lit up.
