Chapter 5606: Adults are So Difficult (Part 1)
The next day, Mo Baobao and Guangguang Daren were still deeply saddened by the "we've been scammed" news.
Even in class, they looked a bit listless.
"Oh dear," Mo Baobao sighed dramatically, patting his chubby little face. "I can't believe I, who's been smart my whole life, could be so foolish for a moment and get tricked by that old grandpa."
"That old grandpa is really shameless! He even scams things from us kids. If we run into him on the road next time, we definitely can't let him off the hook."
A few little heads huddled closer, asking with curious eyes, "Mo Xiao, you got scammed?"
This was truly a strange encounter.
How could someone as shrewd as Mo Xiao possibly be scammed?
No one would believe it if word got out.
Little Mo nodded, looking dejected. "Alas, if you walk by the river often, how can you not get your shoes wet?"
Having been used to tricking people, getting tricked himself for once was a fact that Little Mo found psychologically hard to accept.
A few little heads gathered in front of Mo Baobao, chattering, "Mo Xiao, don't be sad. What did you get scammed out of?"
"Over thirty Yellow-grade materials."
"What? Over thirty Yellow-grade materials!" The young children gasped in astonishment.
While sympathetic, they couldn't help but feel that their classmate was truly as rich as a nation.
"So what do we do?"
"Will your grown-ups help you get them back?"
Guangguang Daren indignantly said, "They won't help us find them! They even made fun of us, saying our IQ wasn't enough to make up for the money!"
Mo Baobao sighed mournfully, stretching out his plump little arms and propping up his small chin.
"You're so miserable, Mo Xiao," a few little girls gathered around him, saying in soft voices.
"How about this, after school, we'll go with you to look around? Maybe we'll run into that scammer old grandpa?"
"Thank you for your kindness, classmates, but you can't help me!"
"We can help," everyone chimed in. "We can help you beat him up."
"Yes! Beat him up."
Mo Baobao turned his small face, and with a pair of watery phoenix eyes, he pitifully looked at his classmates. "Will you really help me?"
None of the children could refuse such a delicate, pitiable little face, and immediately nodded in unison without any hesitation.
Guangguang Daren jumped down from his seat. "Then after school, let's gather outside the courtyard gate."
"I brought a lot of sleeping medicine with me. We'll feed it to the old grandpa as soon as we see him."
"Let's just strip him of his clothes and search him!"
"We'll tie him to a tree and make him spit out all the Yellow-grade materials he swallowed!"
"Good!" Mo Baobao declared decisively, nodding with a smile.
Classmates, you are all so talented!
That's why they say, there's strength in numbers. Look how many ideas we can come up with when we're all together.
A group of little tots gathered at the courtyard gate after school. Sixteen children in total, with an average age of about seven.
Led by Mo Baobao and Guangguang Daren, they marched majestically towards the entrance of Holy Domain First Tower.
"What's the point of going to Holy Domain First Tower now?"
"That old grandpa got the materials yesterday. If he was going to exchange them at Holy Domain First Tower, he would have already done so."
Guangguang Daren wagged his finger. "No, our tower opens every day at Chen Shi (7-9 AM)."
