1. After Rebirth, I No Longer Wanted to Be a Cannon Fodder!

71-72

71. One step ahead

As soon as Mu Chen and Ye Shi moved out from the guild, Xie Qiong got the news.

"Have you had a conflict with Mu Chen?" Xie Qiong asked with a long face, looking at Xie Danyan in a bad tone.

Xie Danyan nodded and said, "Yes!"

Xie Qiong sighed helplessly, and complained, "Didn't I tell you? Mu Chen is very talented. He is a rare genius, and he is likely to soar into the sky in the future. Why are you picking on him?"

Xie Danyan rolled her eyes and said with a full of resentment, "Grandpa, you were deceived by Mu Chen. That man is an ignorant liar, not a genius at all, not even a talent."

"You said he is a liar?" Xie Qiong asked with a frown.

Xie Danyan nodded and vowed, "Yeah! Grandpa, I have found out backgrounds of Mu Chen. Before he was twelve years old, he was fooling around all day long, making trouble, playing games, and doing everything except real business. A year ago, he suddenly knew that he had made progress and became a first-level alchemist. Three months ago, he was certified as a second-level alchemist. The time is very short, the foundation is very weak, and he can't answer the questions of our guild at all. He must have cheated."

Xie Qiong frowned and thought to himself: Could it be that what Xie Danyan said was true? Mu Chen chose not to take the share and bought it out, which seems to prove this point...

"Forget it, Mu Chen has moved out. Let it be." Xie Qiong said indifferently. There were many geniuses in this world, but few could grow up. Xie Danyan was Xie Qiong's proud granddaughter, but Mu Chen was a smart outsider. Compared with the two, Xie Danyan was more important.

"That's right, Grandpa. If people know that you take a liar so seriously, people will laugh at you." Xie Danyan pouted.

Xie Qiong exhaled and said, "Okay, stop talking."

"Mu Chen, you have so many element stones now. What do you want to do?" Ye Shi asked enthusiastically.

Mu Chen raised his hand and said, "Let's change the space ring first. This one is small."

Ye Shi couldn't help frowning and said, "It's such a waste. This one can work..."

Mu Chen said in disapproval, "How come? This is a necessary investment. When we were in the wild, because our rings were not big enough, we couldn't put a lot of things in there, and we wasted a lot."

Ye Shi lowered his head and said in his heart: Although we wasted a lot, those things were worthless.

"Let's go. When I buy a bigger ring, I'll leave this to you." Mu Chen said while holding Ye Shi's hand.

Ye Shi couldn't help being surprised when he heard Mu Chen's words, "Really? Mu Chen, you are so kind."

Things in the imperial capital was expensive, but not all things were expensive. For example, space ring was a rare item in City of Mo, and it was difficult to buy there, but it was a common thing in the imperial capital, available in any larger stores. Mu Chen spent 100,000 elementary stones to buy a space ring with a space of six cubic meters. The price was double the original one, but the space was five times larger.

After buying the space ring, Mu Chen bought a lot of spirit herbs. Some time ago, in order to rush the journey, Mu Chen had not made alchemy for a long time. Now that he had some time, Mu Chen planed to practice again.

"Shadow Moon Shop." Ye Shi stood in front of a shop and stopped, a strange aura flashed in his eyes.
