While they waited for their food to arrive, Xu Feng successfully befriended Carmen, having added her to his friend list.
Now, aside from Zhao Kai, Xu Feng also had a future expert in his friend list.
He felt gleeful already knowing that he managed to encounter the "Lunar Wraith" here.
'Oh, Kai, it's a good thing you delayed me previously. Otherwise, I would have missed this golden goose.' Xu Feng thought to himself, his expression remaining amicable on the surface. Sometime later, Xu Feng finally went to the topic after some small talk here and there.
"Anyway, why were you trying to hire a mercenary?" He asked calmly.
Silent, Carmen held a doubtful look as she stared at Xu Feng. "Should I answer your question, Feng?" "Eh... why do you ask that?"
"Well, you told me earlier to not reveal much information because players are rivals to us." "Y-Yes, that's true, but I'm not your rival," Xu Feng coughed and corrected. "We are sitting here because I saw you were troubled and decided to help you out a little bit. Of course, you will help me back when I need you in return." Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"Librarian Griselda requested me to take down a monster called Ironhide Behemoth," Carmen responded frankly.
"Pfft," Xu Feng nearly choked on his own saliva when he heard the type of monster she was requested to take down.
Ironhide Behemoth was a level 13 monster that resided in the danger zone. To give a clearer demonstration, the Pyrite Drakes that Xu Feng fought were only around levels 4-7, with the leader being the highest level.
However, keep in mind that it required a ton of preparation for him to weaken the level 7 leader to be no different than a level 3 monster.
Yet the monster that a beginner like Carmen now was required to take down a level 13 monster when most players hadn't even crossed level 10. Just what kind of sick person was Librarian Griselda? No wonder Carmen resorted to coming to the Mercenary Association in hopes of recruiting some strong mercenaries to assist her in the mission.
There were no other options! At least, that was in her case, and not him. Although it seemed impossible at first glance, Xu Feng would still be able to manage it. Of course, that was on the premise that he would allow himself to be in such a sticky situation, to begin with.
Meanwhile, Carmen mistook Xu Feng's silence and earlier display of behavior as natural. She thought he was helpless as well, but she expected such a response already. After all, the party she was in legit dismissed her and even some called her a crazy bitch. "It's alright, Feng." Carmen smiled gently. "I can manage it myself somehow, so there's no need for you to be troubled by it." "Who do you take me for?" Unfazed, Xu Feng tapped his fingers repeatedly on the table before flashing a solemn expression.
"I've said I will help you, then I will do it. It's just a level 13 Ironhide Behemoth. Didn't I tell you earlier, I'm quite the expert myself." He added, adjusting his glasses.
