Chapter 62 Temporary Mission

"Boy, I didn't expect you to be so ruthless. You're as ruthless as your father when he was young!" Hai Bodong said with a smile.

Xiao Zhen crossed his hands behind his neck and said nonchalantly, "Who told that guy to sneak attack me? He almost ruined my handsome face, so I accidentally hit him too hard!"

Hai Bodong said calmly: "Is it really just a little heavier?"

Xiao Zhen said hesitantly: "Although the guy was seriously injured, if there is a fourth or fifth grade healing pill, it should be possible to save his life."

"A fourth or fifth grade healing pill, you're really the only one who can come up with that. Do you think that ordinary people can easily come up with a pill of this level?" Hai Bodong said speechlessly.

"Hehe!" Xiao Zhen laughed awkwardly a few times. It was indeed very difficult for ordinary people to take out a fourth-grade elixir.

Only because he has a teacher who is a fifth-rank alchemist and comes from a wealthy family, he dares to say such things.

Even though that old man was a third-rank alchemist, if he wanted to save his disciple, as long as he was willing to pay the price, he could save him. However, that old man didn't seem like a loyal person, which meant that Wang Tao was doomed!

The three of them soon arrived at the front desk. The front desk staff were two beautiful young ladies. They had attractive faces and wore the same tight uniforms that showed off their curvy figures. Especially in the hot weather here, the two young ladies boldly exposed their thighs and shoulders, making many people around them unable to take their eyes off them.

Xiao Zhen personally felt that the person in charge here was quite talented as they had two such pretty girls working at the reception. Just looking at the two beauties here was very pleasing to the eyes. Unlike the receptionist at the Imperial Capital Headquarters, who was just an old man and was said to often accept bribes from others.

"Hey guys, I wonder where you are from. Is there anything I can help you with?" One of the young ladies asked in a beautiful voice like a nightingale.

Facing such a beautiful girl, Hai Bodong's heart remained unchanged. He just said calmly: "I am Hai Bodong from the Mittel family. I want to see the highest person in charge here."

The Mittel family? Isn't this the richest family in the Gama Empire? And the name Hai Bodong sounded a little familiar. The two receptionists didn't dare to neglect them. One of them immediately stepped on the second floor with crisp steps.

In the president's office on the second floor, an old man with a plain appearance was leisurely making tea.

"Today is another peaceful day. Yesterday, two more little guys passed the test of a first-grade alchemist. If I were 30 years younger, I would really like to go wandering around again. Hey... I'm really old!"

President Li Ming also had some time of adventure when he was young, but now he is old after all. Time is unforgiving. In a few years, he will probably retire and go home to take care of his great-grandchildren.

"Knock knock knock!" There was a sudden knock on the door.

Chairman Li Ming took a sip of tea and said calmly, "Come in!"

"President, there is a man from the Miter family outside. His name seems to be Hai Bodong. He brought a child and a snake girl with him. He said he wanted to see you." The receptionist who came in said respectfully.

Li Ming's eyes suddenly widened. Hai Bodong? Isn't this the Grand Elder of the Mitel Family and one of the ten strongest men in the empire?

Li Ming immediately stood up and strode out of the door. Since the Ice Emperor Hai Bodong had come, as the person in charge of this place, of course he had to go and receive him in person.

Xiao Zhen, who was waiting in the hall, also received a notification from the system.

"Ding! Received a temporary task, do you want to accept it?"

Xiao Zhen's mind went blank. What the hell? A temporary mission? Why didn't it appear before? Why did it suddenly appear now?

Xiao Zhen asked silently in his heart: "System, what the hell, what is this temporary task?"

"Ding! Temporary tasks are items updated by the system. They are randomly triggered and have a time limit. After completing the task, you will receive points as a reward."

"Since there is a mission, let me see what it is first!" Xiao Zhen said silently in his heart.

"Ding! The mission has been released!"

Temporary mission: Second-grade alchemist assessment

Completion conditions: pass the assessment

Time limit: 30 minutes

Mission Reward: 500 points

Xiao Zhen took a careful look and found that the task was not too difficult. He had become a first-grade alchemist very early on, and his soul power had also reached that of a second-grade alchemist long ago.

The only drawback is that the time is a bit short. How can it be only half an hour? Refining medicine is not cooking, why are you in such a hurry!

"Hahaha, I guess this must be His Majesty the Ice Emperor. I've heard of your name for a long time!" A deep, rich, and magnetic voice came from upstairs.

Xiao Zhen took a look and found that it was an old man wearing an alchemist's robe. Behind him was the receptionist from before. He thought he was the person in charge of this place.

Soon, the old man pulled Hai Bodong into his office and started talking.

Seeing the time passing by, Xiao Zhen began to panic. It had been almost ten minutes, and the two old men had not finished their conversation.

"You two wait a moment, I have something to say!" Xiao Zhen interrupted.

Li Ming glanced at Xiao Zhen and asked Hai Bodong, "Your Excellency Ice Emperor, what is the relationship between this kid and you?"

Hai Bodong yawned and said boredly, "You are talking about this kid! He is the disciple of old man Fa Ma, and he is also a member of your Alchemist Guild."

"Oh! He is the talented young man." Li Ming said in surprise.

It is said that a year ago, Fa Ma accepted a talented young man. This boy not only had an extraordinary talent in cultivation, but was also very good in alchemy.

"I don't know what you want to say, young man. We are all family here, so feel free to speak." Li Ming said gently.

"Hehe!" Xiao Zhen smiled awkwardly. He was a little anxious just now. After all, only a few minutes had passed.

Xiao Zhen bowed to Li Ming as a junior and said sincerely, "I feel that I have made great progress in alchemy during this period. I would like to try to become a second-grade alchemist. Please allow me, Mr. Li."

"What! You want to take the exam to become a second-grade alchemist." Li Ming said in surprise.

Li Ming looked at Xiao Zhen carefully. This kid might not even be 16 years old yet. When he was his age, he hadn't even broken through to the level of a fighter, let alone becoming an alchemist. He was just an apprentice who was learning theoretical knowledge.

"Do you really want to take the exam to become a second-grade alchemist? Do you have the confidence?" Hai Bodong asked curiously.

If this kid really passes the exam, he will break the record of the youngest second-grade alchemist in the Jia Ma Empire, and I'm afraid that all the subsequent second-grade and third-grade records will be broken by him.

What a scary little brat. The most pitiful ones are the alchemists of the same generation. With this huge mountain pressing on their backs, they may feel uncomfortable even breathing. What kind of evil disciple did that old fellow Fa Ma accept?

Li Ming thought about it carefully and agreed to Xiao Zhen's request. He also wanted to witness whether this young man could become the youngest second-grade alchemist in the Jia Ma Empire.

"Since you have decided, I will send someone down to prepare. After one stick of incense, we will start the assessment!" Li Ming suggested.

"No, no!" Xiao Zhen hurriedly shook his head and explained: "I want to take the test as soon as possible. If possible, I can do it here now."

Li Ming looked at Xiao Zhen in confusion. This kid was so anxious to take the test. Could there be some problem?

"You want to take the exam here, but that's not possible. Since you are so anxious, there is a room not far from my office, which is a medicinal material storage room. It can serve as a temporary examination room, but we still need to call more people in to act as referees." Li Ming said.

In fact, this is somewhat against the rules. After all, the assessment location is regulated. But since this kid is the disciple of President Fa Ma, he has to give his boss some face.
