Chapter 5597: The Wealthy Baby (Part 1)
"Ugh, if I could just grab some materials from the Sacred Palace, I could trade them with poker-face Mama for food or bamboo later." These idiots in the Holy Domain were truly a handful.
Mo Baobao's eyes lit up. He held Master Guangguang's hand and said, "Guangguang, you're truly a kind-hearted child. Let's leave the opportunity to those uncles and aunties. Look how eager and excited they are."
The two little ones were squeezed at the edge of the crowd, unable to see what was happening inside. They lowered their heads, looking at their short arms and legs, and sighed mournfully.
"Registration closes tonight! Register early if you want to!" a hoarse voice boomed.
"What are you two little rascals doing squeezing in here? Do you want to register too?"
Master Guangguang looked up and saw a muscular middle-aged man with a beefy build staring at them with wide, tiger-like eyes. Before Master Guangguang could speak, the muscular man said, "Where are your adults? Why are two little babies allowed to come watch the commotion? What if your small bodies get crushed?"
"Do you want to sit on uncle's shoulders?"
Master Guangguang was about to politely decline when he felt himself being lifted. The brawny man held Guangguang in one hand and Mo Baobao in the other, placing them on his shoulders. "I'll take you two out after I register."
"You're still so small, don't register, okay?"
"Uncle, we're not here to register," Mo Baobao said.
"Then it's even worse to watch the commotion. There are so many people here, and you two are so small, why are you getting involved in this mess? Your adults are really something, not even looking after such young children properly." The brawny man grumbled incessantly.
Master Guangguang was truly fed up with him and quickly interrupted, "Our adults are right up front."
"That's even more outrageous!" The brawny man's face showed indignation. "Knowing it's crowded, they just throw you two little ones in here." In the brawny man's opinion, these adults were truly unreliable.
Mo Baobao blinked. "Uncle, it's your turn to register."
As he spoke, the line slowly moved a few inches forward. The brawny man had already inched forward like a tortoise to the registration point, took the pen, and wrote down his name: Zhang Feng.
"Registration fee: one Yellow-grade refining material."
Zhang Feng froze, then quickly said, "Didn't registration used to be ten thousand spirit coins?"
Someone behind him jeered, "Didn't you see the posted notice, kid? The registration fee changed this year. What's the use of spirit coins? You can't buy ingredients with them anyway. Now only refining materials can buy you what you want."
The man was stunned. "But, but I..."
The hoarse-voiced person at the registration point's face changed. "Another troublemaker? If you don't have the registration fee, get out! Don't stay here causing trouble!"
"Yeah, yeah, hurry up and get out. Don't affect others' registration."
"That's right, big guy, hurry up."
The brawny man's face flushed crimson. He scratched his ears and head but couldn't speak. He just wanted to go to the Sacred Palace to find some refining materials, then he could go to Holy Domain First Tower to buy some essential ingredients and such. The materials he had on him had all been used up a few days ago when he bought things. He had been in high spirits, thinking the Sacred Palace would open in a few days and he could enter for training and find materials by just paying ten thousand spirit coins. He hadn't expected this registration fee to be such a rip-off!
"Still not leaving!" The hoarse-voiced person at the registration point impatiently cursed.
Mo Baobao's phoenix eyes narrowed. "Who said he has no money? What are you yapping about?"
