Chapter 10: The 99% Rare Item - Thick Gift Crab!
Soon, the Cave Magic Slaves in the mine tunnel were swiftly and cleanly dealt with by the Instant.
Lingling, meanwhile, was meticulously counting beside him: "Fifty-one, fifty-two, fifty-three…"
"It should be all cleared out," Lingling said with satisfaction, clapping her hands.
"You two stay here and don't move, I'll go in and take a look," Wang Feng said, stepping over the demon beast corpses on the ground and walking deeper into the mine tunnel.
Mu Ningjiao stood to the side, her expression somewhat dazed.
She had never imagined that clearing out a nest of demon beasts would be so simple.
She didn't even have a chance to make a move; the battle was already over.
"Little girl, are all you Hunters so decisive?" Mu Ningjiao couldn't help but ask Lingling.
"Pretty much, most of our Hunter Mages at Qingtian Hunter Agency are like this," Lingling said with a shrug, her tone relaxed.
Mu Ningjiao nodded, her gaze involuntarily falling upon the Instant.
"So cool. If only I could awaken Summoning too," Mu Ningjiao thought, lost in a daze.
Just then, from the jungle not far behind Mu Ningjiao, a furry white arm suddenly stretched out, silently reaching for her neck.
"Mind Control!"
Crack—
As a horrifying sound of bones twisting echoed, Mu Ningjiao finally reacted, quickly rolling forward, then looking back.
She saw a three-meter-tall humanoid demon beast covered in white fur, its neck twisted into a pretzel shape, lying on the ground.
"Mountain Man! How could there be a Mountain Man here?!" Lingling exclaimed in shock at the sight.
Mountain Man are demon beasts skilled at mimicking human voices for hunting, employing extremely cruel methods, and enjoy tearing their prey apart alive.
Aside from a large Mountain Man tribe in Shennongjia, they are very rare elsewhere.
Mu Ningjiao shivered, a chill running down her spine, as she saw the Mountain Man's arm that had almost touched her neck, feeling a wave of lingering fear.
"Are you alright?" Wang Feng walked out of the mine tunnel, asking with concern.
"I'm fine… Did you save me?" Mu Ningjiao asked, a hint of gratitude in her voice.
"Besides me, who else here could save you?" Wang Feng retorted with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Mu Ningjiao's delicate face flushed slightly, and she lowered her head, her voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz: "Thank you…"
Wang Feng turned and glared at the Instant, a hint of reproach in his tone: "Instant, the Mountain Man was practically on her face, why didn't you act?"
"Woof~" The Instant whimpered plaintively.
As if explaining that its sense of smell was obscured by the smoke Lingling had created, and it hadn't detected the Mountain Man's approach at all.
"Let's leave quickly. The appearance of the Mountain Man is no small matter; we need to report the situation here to the Hunter's Alliance," Lingling said seriously.
Wang Feng nodded, then took Lingling and Mu Ningjiao, mounted the Instant, and quickly left the mine tunnel.
...
Back outside the forest, Mu Ningjiao breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her younger sister, Mu Nuxin, still waiting.
"Is it resolved?" Mu Nuxin asked.
"We've resolved the content of the commission, but new problems have arisen," Lingling immediately explained in detail about the appearance of the Mountain Man.
Mu Nuxin's expression changed slightly upon hearing the words "Mountain Man."
Although she wasn't a Mage, she had long heard of the Mountain Man's infamous reputation.
"I understand. I will report truthfully to the family when I return. The commission fee has already been transferred to your Hunter Agency's account," Mu Nuxin said.
"What about the rare item?" Wang Feng asked.
He was still curious: just how rare could the rare item be that Mu Nuxin guaranteed with her family's reputation?
It couldn't be resources like Spirit Seeds, could it?
"Ah, that, Sister, please take out the gift the Bai Family sent this morning," Mu Nuxin said with a smile.
Mu Ningjiao was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, but quickly reacted: "Nuxin, you're not talking about…"
"Yes, that's the one," Mu Nuxin nodded.
A faint blush appeared on Mu Ningjiao's fair, delicate face. She gave Wang Feng and Lingling an apologetic look, then took out a large foam box from her emerald green spatial bracelet.
"This is the rare item my sister mentioned," Mu Ningjiao said, a little embarrassed.
Lingling raised an eyebrow, ran over to Mu Ningjiao, and opened the foam box, only to see two enormous crabs lying inside.
Lingling froze for a moment, poked the two large crabs with her finger, then took a deep breath.
She blurted out: "It's a 99% rare item, indeed~"
Wang Feng:???
"No, what is this thing?" Wang Feng asked, dumbfounded.
"This is a type of crab born in the depths of the East Sea. Although it's not a demon beast, its meat can enhance a person's physique, so it's called a 'Thick Gift Crab,'" Mu Nuxin explained with a smile.
"Thick Gift Crab?" Wang Feng's eyes widened, and a thousand "Thick Gift Crabs" seemed to gallop through his mind.
"The meat of these large crabs is delicious. You two can taste it yourselves. My sister and I still need to return to the family to report about the Mountain Man matter. We look forward to our next collaboration."
Mu Nuxin slightly bowed to Wang Feng and Lingling, then took Mu Ningjiao and left in the direction of the Mu Family.
Wang Feng glanced at Lingling and asked, "Is this thing really a rare item?"
"Sort of. I've only heard the name, but I don't think the Mu Family would lie to us. Let's each take one and bring them home to try," Lingling said, pointing to the basin-sized crabs in the box.
Wang Feng's mouth twitched, and he nodded helplessly.
"Bringing a big crab back, Xin Xia should be happy, right?" Wang Feng thought to himself.
...
Another month passed in the blink of an eye.
He had completed two more commissions at Qingtian Hunter Agency, one for one million and another for eight hundred thousand.
His savings finally reached four million (three million from the Mu Family commission, half of each of the above, plus previous savings).
And Wang's Medical Clinic was also renovated and officially opened!
However, a few days after opening, the clinic was deserted, not even a single person in sight.
"Is the Demon Capital this competitive? Not even a single patient?" Wang Feng looked at the hazy sky outside the window, somewhat lost in thought.
Just then, a middle-aged man with dark circles under his eyes, looking somewhat haggard, walked into Wang's Medical Clinic.
However, when he saw Wang Feng's youthful face, he immediately frowned and turned to leave.
Upon seeing this, a silver light flashed in Wang Feng's eyes.
The next second, the middle-aged man, in a daze, sat down on the chair in front of Wang Feng.
By the time he came to his senses, he was already seated.
He felt too awkward to get up and leave again, so he bit the bullet and said, "Doctor, I've been feeling unwell lately. Can you tell me what's wrong with me?"
Although he said this, he didn't hold much hope in his heart.
After all, in his opinion, the profession of a physician required age!
How much experience could Wang Feng have at such a young age?
"You have kidney deficiency," Wang Feng stated with great certainty.
"You have kidney deficiency! Your whole family has kidney deficiency! Quack!"
Upon hearing the words "kidney deficiency," the middle-aged man immediately flew into a rage, slapped the table, and stood up with a whoosh.
"I can cure it," Wang Feng said calmly.
The next second.
"Divine Doctor, how do you cure it?" The middle-aged man immediately showed a fawning smile and sat back down.
...
After seeing off the middle-aged man who was clamoring to promote Wang's Medical Clinic.
Wang Feng looked at the newly added talent, his expression somewhat strange.
