Chapter 55

“What do you mean they forgave me? I’m the one who isn’t bothering with them.” Fu Jiafeng was like a cat that had its tail stepped on, and he almost jumped up. However, he remembered he had a bowl of egg fried rice in his hand and stopped in time.

“Alright, you’re not bothering with them. I remember that your family isn’t poor right, why are you resorting to eating egg fried rice?” Su Mo felt quite curious.

“Boss, two more cloves of garlic. Actually, can’t you just give me a whole one? How can I eat this egg fried rice without garlic?” Fu Jiafeng called out. The uncle gave an understanding smile and gave him two whole garlics.

“Can you imagine?”

Fu Jiafeng said as he ate egg fried rice with garlic, “They actually arranged a marriage for me.”

“Eh?” Su Mo thought that he had heard incorrectly.

“You heard me, they’re forcing me into an arranged marriage,” Fu Jiafeng said with an expression that rued his life.

“Didn’t you just turn 18 years old? 18 or 17?” Su Mo was not sure.

New World did not have much restrictions on age, but one had to be at least 16 years old to play a battle profession. Su Mo remembered that Fu Jiafeng was a Mage-type profession in New World, and he was not low level either.

“That’s not the main thing, the main thing is that they want me to marry an old and ugly woman. She’s already 20 and yet they introduced her to me.”

“Haha, 20 is considered old? I’ll remember this for later,” Su Mo said as he coldly laughed and began to eat faster.

“You think I’m scared of you?” Fu Jiafeng did not show any fear and continued to rant, “She’s not tall and is at least 55 kg. She’s old, ugly, and fat…”

“Do you dare to go somewhere with lots of people and say the same thing? I’m pretty sure everyone would stone you to death.”

“I feel so depressed. Look at you with your looks—you look like a pile of crap—and yet the prettiest girl in your university fell for you. Why did I get such an ugly one?”

The more he spoke, the angrier Fu Jiafeng felt.

“Eat faster, it’ll be more convenient after you’re done.” Su Mo was so angry his stomach hurt, and he quickly finished his egg fried rice.

“More convenient for what? Su Mo, what are you going to do?” Fu Jiafeng finally found that something was off. He felt quite gloomy—he did not say anything wrong, so why was this Su Mo fellow looking like he was going to beat him?

“Nothing, nothing, I just want to have a good chat with you. Hurry up and eat!”

“I’m not going to eat, you think I’m going to eat just because you tell me to eat? If you want to beat someone up, go beat up this fatty,” Fu Jiafeng said as he pointed at that middle-aged uncle from before.

The innocent was unjustly attacked, and the uncle expressed that he wasn’t fat.

“You think I can’t do anything because you’re eating? Uncle, help me hold this.” Su Mo snatched Fu Jiafeng’s egg fried rice and passed it to the uncle. Even though he could still beat Fu Jiafeng up while he had one hand occupied, he might accidentally hurt him.

Normally, the uncle definitely would not be an accomplice to violence.

However, after being called a fatty, the middle-aged uncle did not hesitate to take the bowl of egg fried rice, and he also kicked aside some plastic chairs before calmly standing by the side to watch.

Fu Jiafeng was actually quite strong. As someone who had vowed to become the gang leader of this region, even ordinary adults might not be able to beat him.

It was a pity that he was up against Su Mo.

That person was simply a devil!

However, it was impossible for him to back down; he would never give in. I, Fu Jiafeng, did nothing wrong, so why are you hitting me?

“What are you doing? You think you’re so great for beating up a kid?” A young woman riding a bicycle passed by, and seeing that Fu Jiafeng was getting beaten up by Su Mo, she righteously stopped.

“Aunty, please save me. Call the police for me, I don’t believe there’s no one who won’t step in.”

“You… You, what did you call me? Might as well beat him to death.” The young woman was infuriated and furiously pedaled off.

After a solid beating, Su Mo felt quite refreshed and left.

The middle-aged uncle handed the egg fried rice to Fu Jiafeng. Fu Jiafeng sniffled as he continued to eat.

“Thanks for looking after my egg fried rice, fatty.”

The middle-aged uncle gripped his fists and then released them. He could only feel sorrowful that the years were not easy on him, and he shook his head and left.

Su Mo logged onto the game and first went to find Soni Junior to hand in the quest and claim his Condor Feather Arrows.

Unless it was absolutely necessary, he could not bear to use these special Condor Feather Arrows, and he only used the shop’s Wolf Tooth Arrows.

“What? You don’t think it’s good? How isn’t it good? This is a product of the glorious Soni family. It’s impossible for it not to be good.” Su Mo could hear the little blacksmith’s shouts from afar.

There was a player who did not seem to be happy with the dagger that Soni Junior had forged.

“I gave you so many materials…”

The player still wanted to say something.

“I put all of the materials in; this is the best dagger that you can make with those materials. Get out, next!”

The little blacksmith’s temper was quite fiery.

Doubting his quality was one thing, but the main thing was that for some reason, over the past two days, a massive group of players had come to him, asking him about pandas.

What did he know about pandas? Was it a bear? Was it a cat? What the heck was a panda?

Even if he said he didn’t know, that wasn’t good enough. The players tried to flatter him, buying equipment, asking him to repair equipment, and asking him to forge equipment. Anything a blacksmith could do, they requested of him; even things blacksmiths couldn’t do, they would ask of him.

Soni Junior’s sledgehammer was already craving blood. He wanted to smash these players to death and then smash the culprit who had made him so busy.

The culprit was a sophisticated person and was good at observing, and he quickly discovered the little blacksmith’s bad mood.

He was worried that he would be recognized by the people who wanted a panda quest, so he found a place with no one else around and gave his face a beating.

He completely destroyed his looks!

After ten minutes, the system would get rid of these injuries, but that would be enough time for Su Mo to hand in his quest.

A person with a bloodied and bruised face walked over.

Everyone else was given a shock and hurriedly made way for him. What kind of terrible and tragic fight had he gone through?

Fortunately, Soni Junior still recognised him.

“Done?”

“Above and beyond!”

“Here are your things.”

“Goodbye!”

Su Mo decided not to ask for a commission fee from Soni Junior; he would be an idiot to do so.

After claiming today’s Condor Feather Arrows, Su Mo left Kerni Fishing Port. This place was always covered with heavy fog, and staying here for a long time would cause one to feel depressed.

Su Mo decided to trigger the quest related to Baron Bary.

The quest was given by an old farmer in a Newbie Village. His son, Tie Dan, went to the city to work, but he had not returned for half a year, so he asked players to go to the city to find information on his son.

After asking a person called Li Ergou from the village, players found out that the old farmer’s son was hired by Baron Bary.

Players would then go to Baron Bary’s castle, but they would be told by the butler that Tie Dan had already left.

That was the end of their trail of clues. After Su Mo accepted the quest, he reached this part, and he came to Baron Bary’s castle to look for the butler.
