Chapter 62 - When a Dog Bites a Man, the Man Doesn't Bite Back

Peach's expression remained unchanged.

But the others present showed a hint of surprise on their faces.

"Only Level 17?

Are you joking?"

"Even if we're bringing someone along, we can't just pick up any random stray cat or dog."

The voice carried a note of arrogance and cockiness.

A man holding a staff walked into the courtyard.

Isla Ning showed displeasure.

"Ethan, watch your words.

Morintis is the National Top Scorer."

Ethan let out a scornful laugh.

"Just a National Top Scorer.

Compared to us, a National Top Scorer is worthless."

"I've seen previous National Top Scorers before.

Every one of them was trash."

He was extremely arrogant, looking down on Morintis completely, and even disdaining the title of National Top Scorer.

The others in the courtyard also wore expressions of pride.

It was as if what Ethan said was the truth.

They truly looked down on the National Top Scorer.

"Ethan, your words are like farting, utterly stinky," Isla Ning retorted directly.

Ethan snorted coldly and ignored Isla Ning.

Instead, he raised his head arrogantly.

"You're Morintis, right?

I know you were introduced by Lord White God."

"Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have connections with Lord White God."

"In our Latent Dragon team, what matters is strength."

"For this trial, bringing one more person like you is fine, but please shut up and don't speak, preferably don't make any sound, and don't hold us back.

Otherwise, I'll be the first to deal with you."

Morintis was somewhat speechless, feeling this guy was overly arrogant.

He had seen arrogant people before; Sophia was arrogant enough, being the young lady of the Xia family.

But none were like this guy.

"Brain-dead?"

Morintis suddenly spoke.

Ethan's face changed.

"What did you say!"

The staff in his hand immediately burst into red flames, and a massive energy wave swept out.

Isla Ning stepped forward to block in front of Morintis.

"Ethan, how dare you take action!"

Peach also walked over to block in front of Ethan.

"Ethan, stop."

Looking at Peach, Ethan gradually withdrew his aura, and the flames on his staff extinguished.

"Sister Peach, I'll give you face."

As he spoke, he glared fiercely at Morintis, then walked aside and said no more.

However, his resentment towards Morintis was obvious.

Peach turned to Morintis and said, "We'll set off at 9 AM tomorrow, gathering right here."

"The specific details of the trial can only be told to you tomorrow."

Morintis nodded.

"Understood."

"Let's go, we'll buy some things and make preparations."

Isla Ning pulled Morintis away.

Seeing the two leave, Peach sighed lightly.

"Ethan, I know you hold a grudge.

But personal grudges cannot affect the trial, and he was introduced by Lord White God.

You need to be careful."

Ethan said irritably, "I know my limits.

I'm just upset.

Even if we bring someone, it should be someone useful.

What kind of class is Necromancer?

Have you heard of it?"

Peach shook her head.

"He is the National Top Scorer.

Although the National Top Scorer means nothing to us, anyone who can become the top scorer must have exceptional qualities."

Someone nearby interjected, "Necromancer seems to be a new class that just appeared this year, and it's said to be a unique class."

Ethan still wore a look of disdain.

"Basically, a new class appears every few years, and most of them end up being trash."

Isla Ning pulled Morintis towards the Exchange, saying as they walked, "Don't bother arguing with that guy.

He's a lunatic, not worth it."

Morintis said softly, "When a dog bites a man, the man doesn't bite back."

"Haha!"

Isla Ning was amused, never expecting Morintis to have this side.

The two arrived at the Empire Exchange.

Morintis quickly sold all the items he obtained from the Westsea Mine Dungeon.

He did not choose to consign them for sale.

He handed over the materials to the recycling quest at the Exchange.

He directly sold the obtained weapons and equipment to the Exchange.

Weapon grades include Black Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, and above that, Legendary and Mythic.

Bronze is just entry-level equipment, suitable for Level 10 to 20 Professionals, and isn't worth much.

Basically, each weapon costs around 10,000 gold coins.

After emptying his storage space, Morintis obtained 230,000 gold coins.

Although not much, it was enough for him to use for a while.

Isla Ning said, "We're going for the trial tomorrow.

You should buy some red and blue potions."

The red and blue potions she referred to are actually Health Potions and Mana Potions.

Health Potions can be used to heal injuries.

Because the liquid in the bottle is red, Professionals call them red potions.

Mana Potions are similar; named because the liquid is blue, used to restore mental power.

These two potions are arguably the most commonly used consumables by Professionals.

[Low-Grade Health Potion: Can be used to heal injuries.Suitable for levels below 20.Cooldown: 1 hour.]

[Low-Grade Mana Potion: Can be used to restore mental power.Suitable for levels below 20.Cooldown: 1 hour.]

The price for both potions is 1,000 gold coins each.

Following Isla Ning's suggestion, Morintis bought 10 of each.

Spending 20,000 gold coins.

Morintis then used 200,000 gold coins to buy two Low-Grade Skill Scrolls.

He was left with only 10,000 gold coins.

It was truly like spending money like water.

Then, the two went to the Academy Exchange and bought a communicator for 100 points.

The communicator looks like a watch, convenient to wear on the wrist, and is essential for every student.

The two added each other as friends, so they can contact each other anytime.

Isla Ning waved her small hand, revealing snow-white skin.

"From now on, I can bother you anytime, anywhere!"

Morintis looked at Isla Ning, who was like a butterfly, and showed a slight smile.
