Zhang Feng went straight to the Martial Spirit Hall branch in town to submit his mission report and collect his reward.
Li Zhishu and Yang Sheng also dispersed.
One was planning to take a nice bath to relax.
The other one wanted to find a peaceful haven to process the pent-up emotions of the past few days.
The Wang brothers, Teng and Sheng, didn't linger and went straight back to their rented courtyard.
This trip lasted for nearly half a month, during which they trekked through the mountains and forests every day. For two boys who were only ten years old, this was quite physically demanding.
At that moment, all the two wanted to do was collapse and sleep; they couldn't care less about anything else.
Chapter 95 Reward
Because it was their first time returning from a successful mission, the Wang brothers slept exceptionally soundly.
When Wang Teng opened his eyes, the sun outside the window was already high in the sky, and the bright sunlight shone directly in, making the quilt cover feel hot.
Wang Teng stretched lazily, his bones making a series of soft cracking sounds, before slowly getting up and dressing.
After a quick wash, I opened the door to find the courtyard already bathed in the light of midday.
At the stone table, the eldest brother, Wang Sheng, was having dinner with the landlord, Old Liu.
"Big brother, you're up so early?"
Wang Teng rubbed his eyes, somewhat surprised.
"What do you mean 'early'? He only got up a short while ago."
Old Liu greeted him with a smile, saying, "Young Wang, come over here quickly, it's just in time for lunch."
Wang Teng walked to the table and saw three or four home-style dishes laid out on it. Although they were not particularly lavish, they still exuded a warm and homey atmosphere.
"Mr. Liu, you're too kind."
"I remember our lease didn't include lunch."
Although Wang Teng said this, he had already quickly scooped up some rice, sat down next to Old Liu, and started eating heartily.
"Eat without worry. I'm in a good mood today, so it's on you. Don't take the money."
Old Liu waved his hand dismissively, but his eyes were full of smiles.
The three of them ate and chatted, enjoying a relaxed and pleasant meal.
After the meal, Wang Sheng got up to help clear the dishes, but Old Liu stopped him: "Alright, alright, you two are so clumsy, don't break these bowls."
"You guys go do what you need to do, I can do it myself."
"Well... thank you, Elder Liu."
Wang Sheng smiled sheepishly.
Wang Teng chimed in, "Brother, the commander should have already submitted the mission, but we haven't received our reward yet."
"Let's go find the group leader first. Once we get the money, we'll treat Old Liu to a good meal."
"to make."
The two brothers left the courtyard and did not head towards the square in the south of the town, but went straight to the Martial Spirit Hall in the center of the street.
Behind the Spirit Hall, there is a residential area.
One of the rooms was where the regimental commander, Zhang Feng, lived.
This is also the handover point they had agreed upon beforehand.
"Bang bang bang!"
Wang Teng stepped forward and knocked on the door.
Before long, the door opened, and Zhang Feng let them into the courtyard.
"Commander, aren't Brother Li and Brother Yang here?"
Wang Teng looked around the courtyard but didn't see the other two people.
"They came over last night, they're probably off having some fun somewhere now."
Zhang Feng smiled and took a gourd from his waist.
It was a storage soul tool. Zhang Feng reached out and wiped the mouth of the gourd, and two milky white cards appeared in his palm.
"Here, this is your share of the profits this time."
Zhang Feng gestured for the two brothers to sit down on the stone benches in the courtyard and explained in detail: "For this mission, the Spirit Hall has given us a total reward of three thousand gold soul coins based on our completion rate."
"According to the rules of our group, those who contribute more receive more, and those who contribute less receive less."
“具体比例是4:2:2:1:1。”
"You two are new to the group, and this time you will be mainly responsible for reconnaissance and support, so each of you will receive 10%, which is 300 gold soul coins."
"I've already deposited the money into this card. It's a Golden Soul Card issued by the Heaven Dou Royal Family. You can redeem it anywhere, so don't worry about using it."
"Thank you, Commander!"
Wang Teng and Wang Sheng took the card; it felt warm to the touch, and the surface had a faint sheen.
"Alright, go ahead and rest for a couple of days. I'll call you when there are suitable tasks."
Zhang Feng patted Wang Teng on the shoulder.
Leaving Zhang Feng's residence, the two brothers walked along the bustling street, both in high spirits.
Holding the thin gold soul card, Wang Teng couldn't help but sigh, "It took us two years to save up eight hundred gold soul coins while fighting in Soto City."
"Now we've each earned three hundred in just half a month..."
"It seems that the decision to leave Soto City back then was really the right one."
"Oh, right."
Wang Sheng suddenly remembered something and quickly reminded him, "Didn't you mention whale glue before?"
"Now that we have money, shall we go take a look?"
Wang Teng slapped his forehead and quickly said, "I almost forgot about that! Let's go now."
After discussing it, Wang Sheng gave his card to Wang Teng as well.
“I have three hundred here, plus your original savings, that should be enough for you to buy more.”
"Thank you, brother."
Wang Teng accepted the card without hesitation and put it away.
The two brothers quickened their pace and headed towards the well-known pharmacy in town.
Before long, a plaque with black background and gold lettering came into view.
"Qibao Pharmacy!"
The shop isn't very big, about fifty or sixty square meters. As soon as you walk in, you're greeted by a strong smell of herbs.
Behind the counter, a middle-aged man in a blue robe looked up, saw that it was a stranger, and greeted him with a smile.
"You two young men look unfamiliar. What's your name? I'm the manager here, my surname is Ning."
The man smiled broadly and explained as he walked.
Wang Teng stepped forward, lowered his voice, and said mysteriously, "Boss Ning, we are from the Gale Mercenary Group."
"Our team leader asked us to buy some... whale glue for him."
At this moment, Wang Teng showed a slight hint of unease on his face and softened his voice.
"How much is your whale glue?"
These days, the true effects of whale glue are still unknown, and ordinary people simply regard it as a kind of aphrodisiac.
Wang Teng's attitude of "doing favors for others but being too embarrassed to say it outright" is actually quite reasonable.
He deliberately attributed the title to Zhang Feng, the regimental commander, as an extra layer of cover.
Boss Ning indeed showed a knowing look, gave a meaningful "Oh", and laughed: "I see, no wonder Commander Zhang didn't come himself... Please come with me to the back room to see the goods."
Boss Ning led the two brothers through the front hall to a quiet inner room.
After asking the two to sit down for a moment, Boss Ning turned and went out. He returned shortly afterward carrying two wooden boxes.
"The box on the left is made from whale jelly that's been around for a century, and the one on the right is made from whale jelly that's been around for a thousand years."
"You two can check the quality first."
After saying that, Boss Ning opened the box.
The box was lined with dark velvet, on which lay several pieces of orange-yellow, crystalline gel-like substance. The texture looked as smooth and warm as jade, with a subtle sheen.
Wang Teng and his brother exchanged a glance; how could they possibly understand this?
I just gritted my teeth and bought it based on the description in the book.
Wang Teng showed no fear, simply waving his hand and pretending to be mature, saying, "No need to look closely, we trust Boss Ning's reputation."
"However... if the medicine isn't effective enough, and our commander doesn't feel anything after taking it, he'll probably come to complain in person..."
Wang Teng paused, then added, and at the opportune moment brought up Zhang Feng's identity as Soul Venerable, his words carrying a subtle hint.
Upon hearing this, Boss Ning's smile widened, and he patted his chest to assure him, "Young man, you can rest assured about the quality of our whale glue."
Chapter 96 Millennium Whale Glue
"Our 'Seven Treasures Pharmacy' is an enterprise under the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School. We are in the business of long-term relationships and are absolutely honest and trustworthy."
"I'm so proud of myself," Mr. Ning said.
"What's the price of that thousand-year-old whale glue?"
Wang Teng asked hurriedly.
Boss Ning held up four fingers: "Four hundred gold soul coins per piece."
