Bang!
The blue fox furiously rammed the iron cage, but it did not even budge.
“It’s useless. Stay still and just let me rob you!” Mohai grinned sinisterly as he looked at the blue fox.
The iron cage had been made by Bovella himself and before the duration of the trap ended, even a Level 80 player could not break it, let alone this blue fox who was probably below Level 20.
Although this blue fox might evolve into the Nine-Tailed Fox in the future, she still had a long way to go. By then, Mohai might be as powerful as her.
Since the blue fox ended up in his hand, courtesy was no longer needed.
He had [Snatch] and he wanted to know what kind of powerful or interesting things he could find on the blue fox.
“You shameless bandit! Give me the stone you stole and I’ll be magnanimous and spare your puny life! Otherwise, I won’t hold back!” The blue fox knew she could not break free from the iron cage after several attempts, so she stopped trying and looked at Mohai with a superior attitude.
“It seems like you don’t know your place. Never mind. I’ll teach you some manners today.” Mohai nodded. He was also dodging the Bovella clone attacks while he released the blue fox.
The iron cage had a 10-minute duration and he did not believe that he could not get a single thing from the fox.
Of course, Mohai was not just after what the blue fox had.
If he was correct, the blue fox would be the future Nine-Tailed Fox, but she was still a noob at the moment. He could spend some effort and utilize some tricks to possibly convert her into his underling.
If he was successful, one of the nine invincible Bosses of the future would be under him!
Coupled with his own strength, he might be able to reign supreme in the game in the future. Then, he would not have to be scared of anyone else anymore!
The three major guilds? They still would not be his match even if they formed an alliance!
The cooldown time for [Heavy Bash] was up. The clone was still trying to attack Mohai who swiftly went up and bashed the clone in the head.
The clone was stunned and Mohai used [Snatch] on him again.
It was a success! The skill succeeded this time! The list of available items from the clone appeared before Mohai’s eyes.
“Only the mission item, Fire Stone?” Mohai was thinking if he could find something else on the clone, he would take it as well but it seemed like his anticipation was too high.
On second thought, it was only normal. The Bovella clone only dropped the Bovella Fire Stone and nothing else. If he could find something else on the clone, it would have been strange.
“So, this is what you are trying to do. You foolish, greedy b*stard! You already took my stone and you still want to rob me of my precious? I might not be able to get out now but do you think you can catch me in here?”
The blue fox finally understood what Mohai wanted to do when she saw the clone getting snatched. However, she was not afraid at all as she looked at Mohai with despise and her large physique started to shrink back to her original size.
‘You little c*nt! How am I going to catch you in this size!??’ Mohai was rendered speechless.
Given that the iron cage was huge, if the blue fox had still been big, Mohai would have a way around it, but if she shrank back to her tiny size, it was nearly impossible for him to catch her.
Some thoughts later, Mohai left the blue fox and the clone in the iron cage and walked out of the cathedral alone.
“Someone’s out!”
HundredManAsLives and his party were sick of waiting in their soul forms, and when they saw Mohai come out, their eyes widened.
Soon enough, they realized something amiss. “Where’s the Bovella clone and that blue fox? Why aren’t they chasing him?”
Was the monster with the Nightwalker Cloak this powerful?
The entire Elemental Tower was shocked when they saw Mohai walking out of the Bovella Manor without the clone and the blue fox on his back.
They had to figure this out when they get back! Since the monster with the Nightwalker Cloak was related to Playboy, it was not that difficult for them to find out the truth.
Outside the Bovella Manor, Mohai rendezvoused with DeepSea.
There was a passage in the underground stone room to the surface, but the stone puppets were still there, so DeepSea was forced to go back where she came from and then run back to the Bovella Manor.
It took her quite some time to make the trip, thus she did not even know what happened on the surface.
DeepSea felt helpless as she had never experienced this situation before. She joined the mission but did not do anything throughout it.
“I’ve got the Bovella Fire Stone. I’m going back to the Monolith Stronghold. You can come to me to complete the contract when you get back,” Mohai said to DeepSea.
When she drafted the contract, she had purposely written down that the trade for the mission item would be completed at the Monolith Stronghold to ensure Mohai’s safety.
“Okay, not a problem.” DeepSea’s mentality was incomparable to others. She had recovered to her elegant and tender composure as she nodded in agreement.
“If you can get the Rock’s Experimental Potion from the grocery store owner at Guggenheim, I can tell you how to level up the Heart of Nature,” said Mohai to DeepSea.
“Rock’s Experimental Potion? Okay, I’ll try my best to get it!” DeepSea answered swiftly after a brief surprise.
She had experienced the perks of the Heart Of Nature firsthand, and if she could level it up this early on in the game, the perks would be self-explanatory.
Although Rock’s Experimental Potion was not an easily obtainable item, she would try to get it by all means necessary.
“I’ll be on my way.” Mohai then turned around and sprinted back to the Monolith Stronghold.
“Ruri, Lil’ Piggy, you guys…” DeepSea then contacted Ruri and her two other party members.
…
“Argh! Who’s messing around with us?!”
Back at the Monolith Stronghold, several other bandit leaders realized that someone else was trying to forcefully occupy their Reincarnation Pool. They came back in a hurry but did not find anyone there, hence their bellows of frustration.
Mohai returned to his den with sweat all over his head and found that his 15 goons were still around. Upon checking their statuses, he learned that they had killed several parties of players.
If it was not a big party with a dozen players, the players would not be a match for these bandit goons that he had raised himself. The goons’ equipment was a lot better than that of common players.
An hour later, DeepSea and Ruri appeared.
“This is a vial of Rock’s Experimental Potion.” DeepSea walked out alone and passed Mohai the potion that he asked for.
According to the grocery store owner, Rock’s Experimental Potion was unsafe and volatile, so he could not sell it to an Adventurer. DeepSea had to go through the mill to persuade the grocery store owner to sell it to her.
“Great. I’m satisfied with our deal. Before the contract ends, I actually want to propose another deal. I wonder if you’d be interested or not.” Mohai nodded and expressed the intention of another trade.
“Of course.” DeepSea smiled. No player would reject a mission delivered to their doorstep, especially DeepSea who was already interested in Mohai.
Even though he was just a bandit leader, she believed that this extra deal was not a normal one.
“I want you to help me collect 30 normal monster cards and 10 Elite monster cards, all below Level 20 in two weeks’ time. If you can complete it, I’ll give you a good Sorcerer weapon, Mohai voiced his request.
It was impossible for him to collect all the monster cards but that was not the case for DeepSea. Asking her to help could even increase the trust between them.
“Not a problem. Two weeks are enough,” DeepSea agreed right away.
Completing this mission was just a matter of money as it was barely difficult at all.
“Very well. If you want to level up your Heart Of Nature, you can search for a druid named Hollow in Guggenheim. You will need to try your best to persuade him and he will tell you what you need to know.” Mohai then gave Bovella Fire Stone to DeepSea.
After she received the Fire Stone, Mohai’s body glimmered. As the contract was completed, the Monster Mission Scroll appeared in his bag.
DeepSea nodded at Mohai and then left with Ruri and the others.
An hour after DeepSea left, a blue fox appeared in Mohai’s den. “You cunning b*stard! Do you think you can run!? I’m here for you!”
