Upon hearing this, a trace of helplessness flashed across He Qingâs face, followed by a carefree wave of her hand.
âI wish I could, but my employer wonât agree!â
âOtherwise, even if I were foolish, I would never quit my job as a scavenger!â
Fang Mu raised an eyebrow at her words, indicating that He Qing seemed to be having some troubles.
Fang Mu did not immediately respond, instead deciding to listen to the issues He Qing was facing.
Upon hearing this, Manli gritted her teeth and said,
âIâve saved up more than six hundred thousand Dragon Soaring coins, why donât you use them first!â
He Qing smacked her lips upon hearing this.
âI didnât expect this! Manli, you managed to save six hundred thousand Dragon Soaring coins!â
âI thought youâd either have spent all your money on cosmetics or been cheated out of it by scumbags!â
Accustomed to He Qingâs way of speaking, Manli didnât take her words to heart.
From the way He Qing spoke, Manli knew she was politely refusing her offer.
âDonât be so formal with me, Qing. Six hundred thousand can solve a lot of problems!â
âEven if youâre short by a few tens of thousands of Dragon Soaring coins, I can help you make up for it!â
He Qing covered Manliâs forehead with her hand upon hearing this.
âSilly girl, you sure youâre not feverish? No wonder you were cheated by scum!â âDo you even want your Guardian Beast to break through!?â
âHow long are you planning to be stuck at your current stage before you can handle Heavy Artillery Level Beast corpses?â
âEven if we could raise the money now and I could hire a high-star Creator to prepare the antidote, Iâd have to repay the money!â
âI can handle this huge amount of debt, and you can wait, but can those people who are lending us the money wait!?â
âMy Destiny Guardian Beast is a Crystal-stepping Reindeer, and Iâve bonded with two Sea Wind Winged Snakes and one Inch Bone Soft Snake, which are perfect for a high-end carriage driver!â
âIf I sign a five-year contract, I can get a million Dragon Soaring coins all at once. You donât need to worry about me!â
âAnd you must not blab about this to my mom or we wonât be sisters anymore!â
On hearing this, Manli bowed her head, her eyes reddening, and she lost all appetite for the delicious meal about to be served.
Manli knew that He Qing had a unique circumstanceâshe was raised by her single mother since childhood.
He Qing was born in Jingnan Province, her hometown being located near Snake Island.
The three snake guardians that He Qing owns were said to have been found by her mother on Snake Island!
Her recent poisoning was due to a bite from a Curse Night Mamba Snake from Snake Island, a dual poison snake capable of creating illusions and curses.
The illusion effect can be easily treated by finding a few therapists.
However, the curse of the Curse Night Mamba Snake accelerates the decay of flesh.
To counter this, one must get a Creator to prepare a remedy using the gallbladder of the Curse Night Mamba Snake.
A single gallbladder from a Curse Night Mamba Snake costs over eight hundred thousand Dragon Soaring coins.
In the black market, it even has the possibility of reaching one million two hundred thousand coins.
Furthermore, there is a need to hire a high-star Creator to prepare the antidote, as well as purchase some supplementary materials.
All of He Qingâs savings over the years were far from sufficient!
Moreover, earlier this year, He Qing had just enhanced one of her Sea Wind Winged Snakes to the platinum level, which must be causing her to feel regretful now!
Hearing the conversation between Manli and He Qing, Fang Mu had a general idea of what was actually happening.
Itâs indeed true that many powers and wealthy individuals prefer drivers who only serve them, so itâs not surprising that they asked He Qing to quit her job as a scavenger.
Without seeing the actual Crystal-stepping Reindeer, Fang Mu couldnât make any assumptions about He Qingâs Destiny Guardian beast just from its name.
But one thing was certain, the deer must be quite magnificent. Otherwise, no one would be willing to pay a high price to hire He Qing as a private carriage driver.
Fang Mu had read about the Sea Wind Winged Snake in the library. Itâs a flying snake that grows wings and can control the gusty wind to accelerate its travel. Its small size allows it to coil around the reindeerâs antlers.
As for the Inch Bone Soft Snake, its body can stretch like rubber, and with its striking red color, it can be used as a rein.
He Qingâs setup was definitely worth the price.
However, Fang Mu was curious about the nature of the poison that required so much money for an antidote.
He Qing seemed to come from not-so-wealthy circumstances.
If there were any savings, she wouldnât need to go so far.
Poor conditions often equate to weak power.
If a weak Beast Master was poisoned and the poison was potent, they would already be dead.
They would have no chance to gather funds for treatment.
If the poison wasnât strong, spending one million Dragon Soaring Coins, along with He Qingâs savings seemed excessive!
Since Fang Mu was considering hiring a private carriage driver, He Qing appeared to be the perfect candidate!
Thinking of how He Qing helped and reminded him when he first joined the Scavenger Division, Fang Mu didnât mind doing He Qing a favor.
He Qing was the kind of person with a strong sense of self-respect, even refusing to accept help from Manli.
However, Fang Mu didnât intend to help He Qing for free. Instead, he planned to employ He Qing.
So, He Qing had no reason to refuse!
The only difference between Fang Mu and He Qingâs current employer is that He Qing can continue to be a Scavenger.
He only needs to drive for Fang Mu when Fang Mu needs a ride.
Before all this, Fang Mu planned to ask He Qing if the price of the antidote was really reasonable.
He couldnât be getting fooled, right?
âI have some understanding of antidotes, Iâm curious about what kind of poison makes you have to spend so much money for treatment?â Since Manli brought up the topic, Fang Mu asked curiously.
He Qing quickly explained the situation.
At the end, He Qing added a comment.
âThis time Iâm treating you to a meal, so you donât need to rush to pay the bill because Iâm in trouble!â
âAs soon as I resign from the Scavengerâs job and sign the contract, the problem is solved!â
Fang Mu suddenly realized a problem upon hearing this.
That is, when standing at different heights, the price spent to obtain the same thing also varies.
If Fang Mu sought the gall bladder of the Curse Night Mamba Snake through his own channels, he would probably only need to spend three to four hundred thousand.
Then find a high-star Creator to concoct the elixir, six hundred thousand is enough to resolve this problem!
He Qing had to pay more than double to solve the same problem!
Fang Mu had not considered using the Soul Parasite Ant offspring produced by the Covenant Servant Soul Ant Queen when looking for a private driver.
And just talking about the driver, He Qing wouldnât know too much about Fang Muâs situation.
He would most likely think that Fang Mu is just a rich disciple.
Fang Mu cleared his throat, looked straight at He Qing, and said very seriously. âI didnât plan to steal the opportunity to pay for the meal.â
âBut if you can become a Scavenger, it means you have the ability to contribute to environmental protection!â
âIt would be a shame to drop that ability to become a driver!â
âHow about becoming my personal driver instead!â
âI will also give you a salary of one million Dragon Rising Coins for five years, and do not require you to resign from the Scavengerâs job.â
âAdditionally, the elixir to lift the curse of the Curse Night Mamba Snake only requires six to seven hundred thousand Dragon Rising Coins.â
âThe price of the elixir will be deducted from your income when signing the contract.â
âIf you can trust me, you can sign a contract with me at any time.â
âOnce the contract is signed and notarized by the Beastmaster Alliance, I can give you the elixir to break the curse of the Curse Night Mamba Snake!â Fang Muâs words were not rushed, his tone did not change much, just like he was talking about an ordinary small matter.
But it sounded like thunder in the ears of He Qing and Manli.
Manli asked incredulously.
âFang Mu, are you serious!?â
Manli didnât disbelieve Fang Mu. Itâs just that the matter involved over a million Dragon Rising Coins, almost double her own savings.
Could a young man really afford to spend so much money all at once!?
And if he spent so much money all at once, would it affect Fang Mu?
Fang Muâs words sounded like the voice of redemption to He Qing, the chanting of Buddha.
He Qing seemed indifferent on the surface, but deep down, he was really reluctant to leave the Scavenger Division.
Actually, He Qing came to see Fang Mu in good faith, just wanting to say goodbye to Fang Mu through a meal.
These past few days, He Qing had already invited many of his Scavenger colleagues for a meal one after another.
As Manli was busy dealing with the scum man before, she was only available today.
So He Qing invited Manli to come along.
But he didnât expect Manli to bring up this matter in front of Fang Mu.
He Qing was never a melodramatic person and understood his own value very well.
Itâs good that Manli mentioned it!
He Qing has always had great trust in Fang Mu.
Although Feng Lin suppressed Fang Muâs situation within the entire Scavenger division, Fang Mu was discovered by He Qing in the end.
If it wasnât for He Qing mentioning it, Fang Mu wouldnât have thought about changing the history of the Scavenger Division.
A person who was capable of changing the history of the Scavenger Division through Beast Mastery at such a young age would never speak without basis!
âI trust you!â
âIf you trust me too, we can sign now!â
