An Opportunity

Mu Fan woke up after sleeping for less than five hours.

It's not that I'm worried about Thousand Scorching Rain's breakthrough opportunity.

I was literally woken up by hunger!

I'm so hungry. Why am I so hungry now? It seems like I get hungry very easily ever since I learned that Dark Breath technique from the Fighter.

Mu Fan thought for a moment with a blank expression, then decided to go down to find the girl with the cute round face at the front desk. In his eyes, Su Xiaomi was the key person who could find the food.

Upstairs in room 309, Sang Pu Jie had just hung up on his employer's Sky Communicator, saying that the target would arrive in D District this afternoon to carry out a covert protection mission, with a three-day deadline.

This mission rewards me with a whopping 300,000 Star Coin, enough to live it up for a while.

Sang Pu Jie couldn't help but sigh, the thinking of the rich was indeed unimaginable. To put it bluntly, his mission this time was to be a follower and secretly help a rich young master for three days.

Money is so easy to make! But his face quickly turned sour again.

The master downstairs ate my meal, which cost over ten thousand Star Coin, and I immediately went to carry out my mission. It would be such a pity to miss out on this opportunity.

Why don't you give it a try?

Sang Pu Jie rubbed his hands and face, trying to force a smile in the mirror before pushing open the door and leaving.

Mercenary principle: Inaction yields no results!

Su Xiaomi had just received a message saying that her cousin would arrive that evening, firstly to check on the family's base on this planet— the Star Peak Hotel —and secondly to meet with his colleague to take care of some business.

What could possibly be wrong? Why make such a fuss about things at school?

Although his home is on Landu Star, he chose Taoyun Academy, one of the Five Great Academies, so that he wouldn't be surrounded by familiar faces. After this holiday, he will be promoted to a second-year student.

My vacation was absolutely boring! I had to choose to come to this place, and my family even called it a "study tour."

This outpost has been turned into a hotel, fine, but there are so many oddballs inside, like that foodie, um, the foodie who's walking towards me right now.

Mu Fan walked over with red eyes, and the bloodshot eyes startled Su Xiaomi.

What's wrong with this foodie master? Is he going to hold me accountable? Is he short of money for food? Su Xiaomi's mind started racing. She suddenly Black Fan Grandmaster would bring up the matter of buying a deluxe meal.

Mu Fan walked up to Su Xiaomi. Still feeling sleepy, he looked at Su Xiaomi with blank eyes, feeling very uncomfortable.

How could you look at a girl like that! Even if you're right, you can't do it like that, hmph! Thinking of this, Su Xiaomi's dimples disappeared, and she pouted and glared at Mu Fan.

Mu Fan woke up with a start, realizing that he had been very rude to look at a girl like that.

Mu Fan scratched his head sheepishly; Su Xiaomi was quite speechless at his sudden change in demeanor.

Master, you were just half asleep!

Su Xiaomi smiled sweetly again, looked at Mu Fan, and asked in a clear voice, "Hello, Master, how can I help you?"

"I'm hungry..." Mu Fan's stomach growled.

Oh no, they've really come looking for trouble.

Mu Fan watched with curiosity as a hint of pity quickly clouded the girl's eyes, and she entered a state of confusion. He wondered to himself, "I don't think I did anything to her."

Mu Fan waved his hand in front of the girl's eyes and said, "Hey, could you order that deluxe meal for me again?"

"I'll treat you... wait, I'll order food for you? Oh, right, I'll order it now!" Su Xiaomi, who had been lost in her daydream, suddenly realized that Mu Fan meant to order food for her.

Haha, as expected of a master with such grace.

Little did he know that this fake master had made a fortune and was overjoyed to be able to enjoy such a delicious meal.

Mu Fan has decided to eat well these next few days so that he will have the energy to take the exam.

"Um, Black Fan Grandmaster?" A surprised greeting suddenly rang out from behind.

Mu Fan turned his head and saw that it was the kind person from yesterday!

That kind person who gave me 20 deluxe lunches!

"Hello, I didn't have a chance to thank you yesterday," Mu Fan replied with a smile.

Poor Sang Pu Jie had no idea how he was regarded by Mu Fan. He was not the "friendly friend" or "approachable mercenary" that Mu Fan imagined, but a very simple and powerful word—"good person"!

"Master, you still remember me? Hehe, looks like you're about to eat again." Sang Pu Jie gritted his teeth as he realized that the master seemed to be ordering food again.

The opportunity has arrived, we must seize it this time, even if it costs 15,000!

"Miss, put the bill on my tab, thanks." He gave Su Xiaomi a calm smile.

"How could I possibly accept that? Hehe." Mu Fan scratched his head, but the look in his eyes betrayed him. He would have firmly refused anything under 1000.

But this is a luxurious lunch costing over 10,000 yuan a meal, food that makes my mouth water while I'm eating it... Well, I guess I'll have to owe you this.

I'll return it to him when I have the chance.

"Black Fan Grandmaster, it's an honor for me to have the opportunity to meet you. If it's convenient for me to have your contact information, I hope I can ask you some questions about combat." Sang Pu Jie looked at Mu Fan with a nervous expression; victory or defeat depended on this.

"Convenient, this is my Sky Communicator." How could Mu Fan refuse such a big spender? He booked a meal for 15,000 yuan without batting an eye, so he felt it was very necessary to get to know him.

When Mu Fan was exchanging Sky Communicator, he suddenly noticed the scars on Sang Pu Jie's hands and his eyes widened.

By the way, isn't this already available?

"Um, are you free later?" Mu Fan suddenly looked up and asked.

"Oh? I have time!" Sang Pu Jie exclaimed with delight, feeling as if he had really struck gold.

"I have some martial arts techniques I'd like to discuss with someone. Would I have the honor of practicing them with you?"

"Yes! Yes!" Absolutely! Just kidding. The opportunity to practice with Martial Arts Grandmaster for 30,000 Star Coin is an absolute steal.

Sang Pu Jie rubbed his hands together excitedly, eagerly asking, "When would you like to go?"

Mu Fan grinned too, "Done!"

"After I finished eating."

Half an hour later, Mu Fan and Sang Pu Jie appeared at a fighting Training Field in D District.

This is a Training Field not far from the Star Peak Hotel, with quite complete facilities. Mu Fan is holding a training stick and facing the strong man in front of him.

Sang Pu Jie looked nervous. He had already noticed the gap between himself and Black Fan Grandmaster when they first met. Now, was he going to become the master's sparring partner?

"I want to test a martial art that is quite offensive, and I want to put it to the test in actual combat," Mu Fan said sincerely.

Sang Pu Jie was overjoyed. Being able to spar with Martial Arts Grandmaster would definitely be a huge boost to his own skills. However, his years of experience still made him cautious and ask first, "Then I suggest you make an initial attack on the Strength Testing Instrument to determine your strength value. This way, I can choose the best way to cooperate."

Mu Fan thought to himself that he had indeed chosen the right person, and nodded in agreement.

The two stood in the testing area of the Training Field, 1a Standard Strength Tester was on display. When Mu Fan saw this machine, his thoughts seemed to return to a month ago on Luoqie Star, where the Starfall Martial Arts Hall also had such a machine.

Adjusting his breathing, Mu Fan quietly activated his Dark Breath.

Sang Pu Jie was surprised to find that Black Fan Grandmaster beside him had stopped breathing. No, it was a state where breathing was completely imperceptible!

As expected, he far surpassed me in the realm of combat.

With a hum, the wooden stick spun in his palm, Mu Fan's muscles, under the precise control of his brain, burst forth with power.

Sang Pu Jie saw Mu Fan raise his right hand, and then instantly hundreds of staff shadows floated in the air.

Drink!

Mu Fan struck out with his right hand, and the countless shadows of the staff vanished in an instant.

Bang!

2658kg!
