Chapter 278: The Unfounded Disaster

“You really surprised me, I never thought you could go this far.”

No. 37’s elegant figure remained the same, a glass of Lycorisradiata was shaking in his hand, his voice slightly trembling.

With a casual gesture, this expensive glass of Lycorisradiata floated steadily in front of Zhang Mu.

“Isn’t it supposed to be very valuable? The profits I’m making for you now should far exceed its worth.”

Although very tempted, Zhang Mu was still a bit puzzled. According to No. 37, the shipping cost of this glass of Lycorisradiata alone could cover several times the profit from Zhang Mu’s first Era Merchant task.

But when Lycorisradiata moved in front of him, smelling that familiar scent, feeling that surge of energy, Zhang Mu couldn’t resist the temptation and grabbed the tall cup in front of him.

This time, he was more careful, not drinking it all at once, but savoring it slowly in his mouth.

No. 37 seemed to know that Zhang Mu couldn’t control himself, didn’t even turn around, but this time, Zhang Mu brought him more value than just that.

These scattered gold leaf pieces may be insignificant in other testing grounds for No. 37, but in this new testing ground, they were leading the way.

This Zhang Mu had already completed five Era Merchant apprentice tasks and was fully qualified to be promoted to Junior Sub-merchant, which was unimaginable in just the first quarter.

Initially, No. 37 thought Zhang Mu would complete at most two Era Merchant tasks, and he already had enough confidence to win in the performance evaluation, as it was very difficult for a regular Era Sub-merchant who was still struggling just to complete one basic task due to various obstacles and challenges between cities. Transporting goods in the Era Region seemed less important because it was almost a guaranteed profit in the first quarter. Being talent alone, completing two tasks was impressive, and completing three was already the limit unless one had extraordinary luck and encountered no obstacles along the way.

Completing four Era Merchant tasks during this time period was rare among many testing grounds, especially since it was already a record high, only differing in the amount of money involved.

Moreover, the most important thing was the value that his first Era Merchant task created.

He couldn’t even begin to imagine the impact it would have once Zhang Mu’s performance was revealed.

He played with the unique golden star he had just summoned in his hand, and his emotions became a bit chaotic. He had been silent for too long, and finally, it was his turn for his luck to turn around.

Meanwhile, Zhang Mu had just started to taste the flavor of the Lycorisradiata, which indeed was as endless in aftertaste as No. 37 had mentioned before. This kind of fruit wine seemed to be made from some kind of magical fruit.

It’s a pity that if my energy wasn’t attributeless, that would have been better.

But right at that moment, suddenly, an incredible idea popped into Zhang Mu’s mind.

Why can’t attributeless energy trigger the effect of Lycorisradiata?

No. 37 had heard about the taste of various attributes, but those who could drink the heavenly evolver or the Era Merchant of Lycorisradiata were all prominent figures. No one would have expected someone like Zhang Mu, a strange person with attributeless awakening energy, to grow to this extent.

In the history of the records of Lycorisradiata, such a thing had never happened. Although some people might want to experiment with awakening abilities of different energies, no one would take the risk of experimenting with attributeless energy, as it would be such a waste.

However, now, this person, Zhang Mu, who knew nothing, began the first unknown collision in history with his attributeless second-rank energy and this small cup of Lycorisradiata.

As soon as that energy surged and touched the wine of Lycorisradiata, it turned out that it was neither nothing happened as he imagined nor a calm change.

Right at their first touch, bubbles began to form as if a strong chemical reaction was taking place.

Before Zhang Mu could even swallow, it’s happening right in his throat.

If one could see from outside, the blood vessels in Zhang Mu’s throat were slowly becoming thinner, with veins popping out.

Unaware, Zhang Mu felt himself surrounded by warmth, feeling extremely comfortable, especially in his throat, with an unprecedented lightness, as if being nurtured by pear juice.

After some time had passed, he suddenly felt a strong force pulling him back from that warmth.

When he opened his eyes again, he was about to angrily reprimand whoever took him away from that paradise. But what he saw when he opened his eyes was the serious face of No. 37, and Zhang Mu knew something was wrong.

He wanted to speak, but couldn’t say a word. Just a little movement, and his vocal cords, which were about to vibrate, were hit by a sharp, piercing pain.

No. 37 slowly conjured up a mirror for him.

This completely stunned Zhang Mu.

In the mirror, his throat seemed like a thin, see-through film that could easily break.
