Chapter 76

"Listen, listen, listen, listen."

"No, with so many people watching, I feel a bit uneasy." Green most disliked being scrutinized by too many people, as if his secrets were about to be exposed. He thought of something and grabbed Zhao Mai's arm: "No, you can't leave yet, at least not until you've claimed your reward."

After he said that, the dwarf Sock also reacted and nodded, dragging Zhao Mai to the guild. To resolve the siege, the guild had listed various battle rewards, whether for mercenaries, adventurers, or ordinary townsfolk, even a silly rabbit suddenly hopping out of the forest, as long as they completed certain tasks, they could claim a reward. Of course, necessary eyewitness and physical evidence were still required.

The highest reward was for breaking the siege and defeating the enemy, but this was for all personnel, so Zhao Mai wouldn't get much money from it. The second highest reward was for destroying the catapults, with 200 gold coins for each destroyed catapult. Zhao Mai had taken out all 23 catapults by himself, and according to the guild's rules, he would also receive additional bravery bonuses, totaling 5,000 gold coins after rounding up.

This was a huge sum, especially for a初级德鲁伊 (初级 means "初级" and 德鲁伊 means "druid," so it translates to "初级德鲁伊" as "初级 druid" or "初级 druid"). But what to buy? Zhao Mai wanted to buy another bottle of disease-removal potion, but was told it was out of stock. "A potion that costs 750 gold coins is rarely kept in stock. The guild's three bottles in stock were recently sent to Gadoria."

"Oh, then forget it." Zhao Mai thought for a moment and made a request: "Since you're giving me 5,000 gold coins, can I choose which gold coins I want?"

Perhaps some of these gold coins would be fate coins, which others couldn't see but he could pick out—this was the idea in his mind. However, this request raised the guild's suspicions, fearing he might be a spy from a thieves' guild. For the safety of the guild's treasury, the request was naturally rejected.

Zhao Mai was a druid, and because he used natural primal forces, he had many taboos. He wanted to buy a magical armor, but all metal armors would affect his communication with the primal forces, reducing his strength rather than increasing it, so he gave up on that. Nibo Town wasn't a large town, and it didn't even have a resident mage, so the selection of magical items was quite limited. After much selection, the strength-boosting belt was out of stock, no one had heard of the physician's glasses, the medical gloves were out of stock, and even the 1,500 gold coin restoration badge was unavailable.

Every time something was out of stock, the guild receptionist was looked down upon by Zhao Mai. After this happened over ten times, the poor receptionist couldn't even lift her head, and sweat dripped down her face.

Zhao Mai was finally helpless, pounding the table: "A big guild, and you don't have this or that. What's the point of giving me so many gold coins? If I can't buy good equipment, I'll never spend all this money in Nibo Town!"

"I'm sorry, I think the guild will solve this problem soon," the receptionist could only say: "We will restock as soon as possible, after all, there's a big gathering in two months."

"That has nothing to do with me," Zhao Mai shrugged: "If I just carry all these gold coins out and say I can't buy anything, that wouldn't be good, would it?"

"The items you want, we really can't gather them right now..." The receptionist was almost in tears. Not needing weapons, not buying armor, this customer specifically targeted medical magical items. Whether it was priests or druids, the production of medical magical items was always in short supply. Temples preferred that those in need of healing come to the temple to personally experience the glory of the gods, rather than just drink a potion. They would rather treat people for free than produce more healing potions.

Druids were similar, and they didn't even like patients coming to them. A life of seclusion and isolation was what they pursued. The Unseen Walkers' community was relatively better, but this didn't mean they could steadily provide medical magical items.

Zhao Mai didn't want to wait any longer. He put 1,000 gold coins in his car's trunk and gave the remaining 4,000 to Green and Sock, asking them to rent a shop and continue researching firearms. Then, before the celebration began, Zhao Mai turned on his phone's navigation and shot up into the sky.
