Chapter 149 The Gathering!

"Gold-level Witcher!"

"Teacher Shen!"

"Brother Shen!"

"benefactor!"

"Silence!"

A jumble of incoherent names rang out in the hall, only to fall silent in the next instant.

The members of the Blood Axe Demon Hunter team looked at each other, and finally their gazes returned to Shen Mo.

Seeing this, Mei Gui's gaze shifted between Shen Mo and Shi Lan, and a thought struck her.

"You've become a Gold-rank Witcher!!!"

Staring at the golden badge on Shen Mo's chest, Shi Lan was dumbfounded, her voice trembling with shock, completely ignoring Mei Gui standing beside her...

..

"Yes." Shen Mo nodded with a smile. "You're here to buy equipment?"

"No, you..."

'

Shi Lan rubbed her eyes, as if to confirm whether she was dreaming.

When she opened her eyes again, she saw Mei Gui next to Shen Mo and was immediately startled.

From the way the four people stood, she could tell at a glance that Shen Mo and Mei Gui were equals!

Mei Gui, the very capable supervisor known as the "sweeping monk" of the workshop, also acted like a subordinate in front of Shen Mo.

This... Shi Lan began to wonder if she was under an illusion.

Not only Shi Lan, but also Wei Dongming, Li Zitao, Li Xue, Song Xingyuan, Yang Shuo and others were extremely unsettled.

When they arrived, Shi Lan told them about the situation here and learned about Mei Gui's identity.

Unexpectedly, I found myself here, Shen Mo.

Li Xue's feelings were particularly complicated.

The black iron badge on her chest gave her a bit more confidence to face the silence.

But upon seeing the gleaming gold badge on Shen Mo's chest, she felt a strong sense of defeat.

Especially after seeing Mei Gui beside Shen Mo and Mu Li, who looked like a goddess behind him, Li Xue's eyes lost their luster.

He probably wouldn't care about that kind of thing at all.

Thinking this, Li Xue clenched her hands tightly, her nails digging unnoticed into her flesh.

While Li Xue and others had different thoughts.

The demon hunters who had just joined the Bloodaxe Demon Hunter Team also began to investigate Shen Mo's identity.

Upon learning that Shen Mo was actually their teammate, the demon hunters were momentarily incredulous.

How could an ordinary demon-hunting team, not even a hunting group, accommodate such a powerful figure?

Only Li Zitao, Song Xingyuan, and Yang Shuo went up excitedly.

But upon approaching, they were intimidated by Mei Gui and Su Fei's imposing presence and dared not get too close, unsure of what to say.

"Then I won't bother you any longer."

Just then, Mei Gui smiled and said something to Shen Mo.

Then he looked at Shi Lan and said in a calm tone, "Shi Lan, right?"

If you're interested, you can come over and chat with me.

"Perhaps I can provide you and your demon hunter team with some financial assistance."

After saying that, Mei Gui gave Su Fei a look, and the two turned and walked upstairs.

Upon hearing this, Shi Lan's initial shock was quickly overwhelmed by joy, and she strode forward.

"Thanks!"

As she passed Shen Mo, Shi Lan whispered her thanks.

Although it's possible that Shen Mo did nothing at all.

But given Shen Mo and Mei Gui's recent demeanor, Shi Lan was certain that Mei Gui's offer of funding must be related to Shen Mo!

Hearing Shi Lan thank him, Shen Mo watched her walk upstairs, shrugged, and turned to Li Zitao and the other two with a smile, "Did you finish the mission?"

After he finished speaking, he looked around at the other witchers.

His gaze lingered briefly on the bewildered Li Xue before quickly shifting to the black iron badge on Li Zitao's chest.

"Congratulations, Zitao, you've passed the Black Iron Trial!"

"Thank you!" Li Zitao chuckled.

"Teacher, it's only been two days, how did you get promoted to Gold level again!" Song Xingyuan asked with a curious look.

Upon hearing this, Shen Mo chuckled and said, "Haha, I have connections in the Demon Hunter Association. I can get in through the back door."

To everyone's surprise, after these words were spoken, several people actually showed signs of deep thought.

"Just kidding!" Shen Mo patted Song Xingyuan on the shoulder and said, "I was promoted because I completed a special mission."

Upon hearing this, everyone else smiled in agreement.

But what they really think is known only to themselves.

In any case, Shen Mo saw suspicion in the eyes of some people.

Taking in everyone's expressions, Shen Mo chatted and laughed with the others until Shi Lan came down from upstairs in high spirits.

Su Fei followed behind, wearing a professional fake smile as she faced the crowd.

"How did it go?" Seeing Shi Lan's expression, Shen Mo knew the result and immediately smiled, "Did you get the funding?"

"Hmm!" Shi Lan said to Shen Mo, "Miss Mei Gui is very generous!"

"Indeed!" Shen Mo agreed wholeheartedly.

The two then discussed the details of the sponsorship.

Shi Lan repeatedly expressed her gratitude to Shen Mo.

Because Mei Gui had made several subtle remarks while they were upstairs.

It was precisely because of their silence that the Bloodaxe Demon Hunters were able to receive this funding.

Shi Lan thus learned that Shen Mo was actually Mei Gui's core funding target.

"Do you have time to go celebrate together?" Shi Lan invited Shen Mo.

Shen Mo thought for a moment, then smiled and agreed, "Okay!"

"This must be your first time celebrating with your teammates!" Shi Lan remarked with emotion. "It's really not easy to get someone to celebrate with you like this!"

Shen Mo smiled upon hearing this but remained silent.

After purchasing their equipment, the Blood Axe Demon Hunters excitedly headed to the bar that Shi Lan had booked by phone.

After a few rounds of drinks, "Give her a glass of orange juice!"

Shen Mo gestured to the waiter to give Mu Li a drink, then looked at Shi Lan.

"Miss Rose sponsored us with a sum of money."

Shi Lan put down her empty wine glass, signaled the handsome waiter to refill her drink, and then said to Shen Mo with a hopeful look on her face: "Xiao Qing and Zhang Xin have been arrested, but the Red Flag has been almost emptied out by the two of them. It will most likely be disbanded, or even expelled from the association."

I want to use this money to rent the Red Flag base.

I showed you, do you remember?

That five-story building not only has a canteen, dormitories, and conference rooms... but also training rooms, an armory... hehe, and even a bar and massage parlors!

Once the Demon Hunter Team is upgraded to a Hunter Guild, we can connect with the Association and set up an office there.

You don't need to go to the guild; you can pick up missions at the hunting party base.

""

Shi Lan chattered on and on about her future plans for the Blood Axe Demon Hunter Team to Shen Mo.

His words still revealed a lingering fondness for the Red Flag.

They remained silent, only clinking glasses repeatedly.

Given his physical condition, such a high-alcohol beverage would have absolutely no effect on him.

Only the special wines at the Nightclub could make Shen Mo drunk.

"It's been so long since I've been there..." Shen Mo felt a pang of nostalgia.

"Who would have thought you came from a shantytown!"

Shi Lan deliberately sought to get drunk. After a heavy drinking session, her eyes were already glazed over, and she murmured, "I wonder if Black Monkey can emerge from that place like you..."

"9

"A black monkey?" Shen Mo looked at Shi Lan with some surprise.

This was the first time he had heard Shi Lan mention this name.

However, Shi Lan became more sober and did not mention the black monkey again.

He glanced at the noisy, revelrying team members around him, then his gaze lingered briefly on Li Xue, who was drinking heavily with someone.

After a moment, he withdrew his gaze and stared at Shen Mo, asking, "Are you leaving?"
