Chapter 990: Mentor

As Carmen finally reached the front, her eyes widened in disbelief.

Up ahead, there was Xu Feng, who had his hands behind his back. He appeared aloof while chatting with some elderly folks.

"Sir, so what happens if we mix in the Feros Grass and Hutson Bark? The two ingredients don’t clash, so why couldn’t it be mixed and fused together to create the tonic." An elderly man inquired respectfully.

Xu Feng kept a calm expression when he heard the question. He didn’t reply right away, but instead pulled out his identity card.

He waved it around a few times, and the elderly man instantly understood what to do.

"Oh, look at me getting excited. Here are 2,500 points for my inquiry and you’re welcome to visit my shop whenever you’re free. I’m Norman and I have a lot of connections in the city that could assist you." The elderly man identified as Norman said politely.

Before Xu Feng could even respond, some of those in the front were stupefied and uttered in shock.

"Elder Norman? One of the top influential figures in the city is willing to be so humble toward the young man?"

"Oh, my dear. This is really soaring to the sky from one questionnaire answer."

As soon as these people started chattering, Norman’s eyes turned cold as he darted to them.

Almost immediately, the crowd shut their mouths, afraid of offending Norman.

It was obvious that Norman was waiting for Xu Feng to answer him. So he was dissatisfied that there would be outsiders trying to interrupt and disturb Xu Feng.

While the crowd became understanding, Carmen didn’t care and walked toward Xu Feng.

"Halt your steps," Norman quickly warned her and wondered who she was.

How could she be that ignorant and walk as if she owned the place?

Luckily, Norman didn’t go too overboard when Xu Feng raised his hand.

"She’s my companion."

He calmly explained before closing his eyes to ponder the answer.

To avoid a cliche scene or a possible face-slapping enactment, Xu Feng chose to clarify any misunderstandings.

Sure enough, Norman heaved a sigh of relief and gave his apology to Carmen for his previous tone.

"It’s alright. Elder simply didn’t want him to be disturbed." Carmen shook her head and didn’t take the matter to heart.

Even so, Norman felt bad and offered her 500 points as compensation.

To others, 500 points were a lot, but for someone of his stature, 500 points were truly nothing in his eyes.

Carmen hesitated whether to accept the 500 points or not. The person in front of her was going to pay her Guild Leader 2,500 points already. So to accept it meant they received a total of 3,000 points.

Although Carmen wouldn’t mind increasing her points, she found it hard to believe someone would be that willing to become a fat sheep.

"Just accept Elder Norman’s goodwill." Amidst her difficulty, Xu Feng’s voice resounded. "Elder Norman is a man of honor and integrity. If you don’t accept it, then he will feel bad."

Nodding, Norman agreed with Xu Feng’s words. Of course, the basis still stemmed from the fact that Xu Feng had proven his capability and was able to resolve many of his friends’ and colleagues’ problems.

Had it not been for that, then there was no way Norman would come here.

A missionary hall was way beneath his status, but what could he do?

Xu Feng was staying here and didn’t have any intention of leaving yet.

Moreover, the rumors spread extremely fast in Resonance City despite its vastness.

As for how the news spread to these top figures, it was even more simple.

The missionary hall employees realized Xu Feng was resolving the difficult missions and hurriedly informed the top. Just like that, from person to person, the words went straight to those who were interested.

Shortly after Carmen accepted Norman’s apology fee, Xu Feng cleared his throat and began answering his doubts.

"Elder Norman, the two herbs couldn’t be mixed in your concoction because you’re missing a key ingredient."

"A key ingredient?" Startled, Norman’s ears perked up. "What type of key ingredient am I missing?"

"The key ingredient is namely the Suppression Cold Floral. With this, the two herbs not only will cooperate better, but the effect of the tonic will double."

Norman’s eyes widened in disbelief. "Suppression Cold Floral on Feros Grass and Hutson Bark. The mild cold properties suppressed the turmoil during the mixing. Amazing!"

Near the end of his muttering, Norman nearly went on his knees to give his respect to Xu Feng.

"Thank you for clearing my doubts, mentor," Norman exclaimed.

As soon as he dropped the term, "mentor", the crowd nearly went insane.

To be called a mentor by someone of Norman’s stature meant he was set for life in the Resonance City.

"Please, Elder Norman. I don’t deserve such a title." Xu Feng hurriedly shook his head and remained humble. "All I did was just know a little about the two herbs that Elder mentioned and had some luck while concocting random tonics."

"No, no, luck is also a major part of this profession. The fact that you managed to experience such luck and stumble across such an event means you are qualified." Norman said solemnly and proceeded to retrieve a platinum card.

"From now on, you will receive a 75% discount off any stores affiliated with me. Just flash them this card and the employees would know what to do. If anyone dares to disrespect you, then come straight to the city hall. I’ll show them what it means to be kicking an iron plate."

Seeing the platinum card, many people’s eyes glowed in envy, their mouths nearly drooling in saliva.

Even Xu Feng’s body shook slightly. To be able to obtain such a valuable card made him question his past events. ’Seriously, just like that and you give me such a valuable card? Is my luck finally turning for the better? Oh, wait, Carmen returned, so maybe her luck blessed me.’
