Chapter 690 - Nice
~gulp~
The guards couldn’t help but swallow their saliva in fear as they worried about their office head. They didn’t know if he would have a breakdown and start beating them up or if he would really go ahead with his words and cause an upheaval in the ministry of trade.
They didn’t even know how their office head caught onto the fact that a majority of the people who had complained to them were influential supporters of the ministry of trade. With their money and power, the guards dared not offend them and directly came to report to their superior.
But now they were getting yelled at here as well and all they could do was bear it silently. They knew that if they voiced out or protested, the office head would not hesitate in beating them up.
After a few minutes of cursing, the office head calmed down and took a deep breath.
~huu~
"Tell the merchants if they complain again for things like these, that are clearly not against the rules, they will be the ones getting punished. And if they really don’t like running out of things to buy, they are free to approach the ministry of trade to appeal a new law specifically for that.
Tell them that they can have their ’fair’ purchase power as much as they can if they do that. Whatever the backlash they get from that though will not be on us." The office head declared.
~gulp~
The guards swallowed down their saliva and nodded their heads.
"We’ll do as you said, Office head." The guards said in a meek voice.
"Now then... GET OUT!" The office head replied before kicking them out of his office.
’This tea is quite good... thankfully I bought plenty of it and can make it later on.’ Lin Mu thought to himself.
This was one of the reasons why he had come here. Even if Lin Mu had bought the tea, he had not tasted it and decided that going to a tea house that specialized in it might be the best choice.
And now that it was confirmed that the tea was truly excellent, Lin Mu felt pleased about his purchase.
"Hmm... little shrubby will probably like the new ingredients. He’ll have a lot more to try out now." Lin Mu muttered to himself.
Little Shrubby actually had more than just one spatial storage treasure now, and Jing Luo had modified a few of the ones they had gotten as spoils from other enemies. Little Shrubby was using those to store the food ingredients and all other things that he liked.
"Now that I think of it... we haven’t tried that Saw tooth Tuna either..." Lin Mu said to himself as he flew towards the hill where Little Shrubby was hidden.
The hill was located about ten kilometers from the capital city and gave a really good view of the city from the distance. And like many other hills, it was also covered with the Hong Lin trees hiding whatever beasts that were living on it.
This was the reason why Lin Mu and Jing Luo had picked this place to halt beforehand and also why they let Little Shrubby stay there.
The beast in question opened his eyes when he sensed his master appraising from the distance.
~Grrr~
Little Shrubby lightly growled and stretched his body before getting up from the curled up position he was in before. Lin Mu also saw him and couldn’t help but smile upon seeing it.
"Even if he has grown many times bigger than before, he still sleeps in the same manner when he was a small cat." Lin Mu muttered to himself and landed on the hill.
"You’re back!" Little Shrubby spoke.
"Yes... and I brought some things you might like."
