Chapter 2711: Black Phoenix Garment
“Shu Xiaohua, why did you buy so many things?!” Big Sister Ying asked angrily. She had gone to the washroom for just a minute and Shu Xiaohua had been duped by the sellers!
“The world outside the fortress is dangerous. This armored magical equipment can ensure our safety. Besides, he offered at a dirt-cheap rate. It cost only five thousand dollars each,” Shu Xiaohua said.
Big Sister Ying slapped her forehead in frustration. Shu Xiaohua was hopeless. There was no way an armored magical equipment could be bought for five thousand dollars. Even the cheapest armored magical equipment that could resist Servant-class attackers cost at least thirty thousand dollars!
Magical equipment price was only second to housing price. Everyone in this wilderness felt like they were on the verge of death so they all wanted to own the equipment for a sense of security.
Mo Fan examined the Eight Treasure Armor. Meanwhile, Big Sister Ying wanted to look for the marketplace manager to arrest the fraudster.
Mo Fan shook his head. “Shu Xiaohua was not entirely cheated. The armor’s market price is five thousand dollars. So, technically he did not cheat her.”
The truth was, the ‘monk’ was very cunning and experienced at this stuff. He had indeed sold the items at market price but the quality of the product was so poor that it wouldn’t be of any use to anybody.
“Is everyone here?” Mo Fan asked.
“Yes. Everyone has arrived. The rest are waiting for us at the entrance,” Big Sister Ying said.
“Let’s go. We can finally depart for our destination.” Shu Xiaohua was unconcerned about the money spent. She seemed to come from a rich family.
…
Mo Fan shook his head in resignation. Buying those things was not entirely a waste. They could always be recycled. They were, after all, made of common armored magical equipment materials.
…
When the trio arrived at the entrance of the fortress, Mo Fan saw a line of women with headscarves and conical hats similar to the two young women with him. He had to admit that their attire was indeed… unique. They stood out like sore thumbs in the crowd.
There were about thirteen or fourteen of them. All of them wore headscarves that covered their cheeks, with matching cropped blouses and long pants. They were tall and slim.
‘As expected, I’ve hit a jackpot!’ thought Mo Fan.
He had a hunch that the group was composed entirely of women. It now made sense why they had wanted only a female hunter to protect them. They prioritized a female hunter so that they could be comfortable about certain things in the wilderness.
When Mo Fan saw them, he was proud of his ability to make simple deductions. He believed himself to be a man capable of predicting the future through details. His loneliness and boredom were gone. He was no longer alone!
“Are you sure he’s a Seven-star Hunter Master?” One of the tallest ladies in the middle asked.
“This is the contract from the World’s Hunter Association. We have signed the contract with the hunter already. So, there won’t be any trouble,” Big Sister Ying assured her group.
The contract served as a form of security.After the verification from Hunter Hall of Mo Fan’s Seven-star Hunter Master status, Big Sister Ying and her group could turn to the Hunter Union for their rights if Mo Fan violated the law. The Hunter Union would impose severe punishment on hunters who violated the contract.
“But he looks only a few years older than us. Most of the Seven-star Hunter Masters have reached Super Level. Is he one of them?” The tallest young woman from the group asked suspiciously.
“He let me go through his profile. The information stated that he has achieved Super Level not very long ago.” Big Sister took out a photocopy document imprinted with Mo Fan’s brief information.
“Is he seriously so great? Most of our mentors who reached Super Level are at least forty or fifty years old. I think he is a fraudster.”
‘Forget it. Even if he’s a fraudster, there are so many of us here so there’s no need to be scared of him.”
“That’s right. We’re quite powerful, too!”
The group chatted among themselves. Mo Fan’s powerful mental states enabled him to hear their conversations clearly. He did not take their word to heart. He understood their insecurities. He let them converse and pretended to not have heard them. He observed them instead…
Although both Parthenon Temple and Alps Mountain were formed entirely of ladies, Parthenon Temple gave off an extremely solemn impression, as if it was a stand-alone queen of flowers exuding a high sense of dignified aura, and was so holy that no one could pollute it. Alps Mountain, on the other hand, despised people outside their organization. They were as sacred as Mount Sinai yet difficult to reach…
These two organizations scared men. They would either end up with low-esteem or dead.
In contrast, this group of ladies had an ancient aura about them. Despite their unique outfit, they were vibrant and full of life. They looked elegant and yet at ease with themselves. They seemed very friendly and approachable.
Foreign ladies were indeed beautiful.
…
“Let us depart now. Hunter Master, we have our own rules. We hope you will heed our instructions throughout the journey.” The tall lady walked over to Mo Fan calmly.
“Of course. You’re my employer now.” Mo Fan nodded.
“There’s another thing which we’ve not explained to you. The reason we venture outside is because we would like to provide our members with more training opportunities. However, Ocean Demons roam around and we sometimes encounter some powerful demons which we can’t subdue. We request you to act only if our lives are endangered.”
“When I was assigned a guardian to your group, I figured it must be something like that. I understand.” Mo Fan smiled.
“Great! Let’s head to Mingwu Ancient City. Mister, if you have any inquiries about Mingwu Ancient City, don’t hesitate to ask us.” The tall lady gave him a friendly smile.
“Alright. I will do so. Let’s be off.” Mo Fan directed his most friendly smile at her.
His smile froze on his face. In the middle of another group, that was heading outside the fortress, was a person he knew. She was dressed in all black this time, even her headscarf and the conical hat. Her blouse, her pants and even the umbrella she carried were all black.
Although Mo Fan had only seen her for a very short time, he recognized her. ‘She is that woman from the temple!’ he thought. He had never expected to bump into her in a place like this.
She traveled alone. Even though her outfit was similar to those from the group he was with, she didn’t look over. She exuded an assertive aura. She was alone and appeared regal. She stood out from the crowd.
“It’s the Black Phoenix Garment!” exclaimed Shu Xiaohua as she noticed the woman in black.
