149 Movement Is Fine

The Green Peach Wine seemed to be more expensive, but Fang Ping was not interested in fruit juice. He said, “I’ll take a glass of Snowgrass Wine.”

The bartender quickly pushed out a glass of pale yellow wine. “Snowgrass Wine, five copper coins.”

Fang Ping was stunned. Five copper coins? Was it that cheap? This was not much more expensive than water, right?

Placing the money on the bar counter, Fang Ping took a sip.

!!
As expected, the taste was not much better than water. It was as bland as water, with a faint bitter taste and a hint of mud. It had the smell of alcohol, but it was also very faint. No wonder it was so cheap.

Just like that, he drank the water and took a big gulp. Thinking he was going to down it and leave, his mind suddenly went into a daze. A dazzling white light lit up in front of his eyes, and he felt the world spin. Fang Ping grabbed the bar counter and almost fell to the ground.

“Hahaha, is this your first time drinking Snowgrass Wine? Drinking so quickly, isn’t it awesome!”

He blinked a few times before he slowly recovered. Fang Ping looked at the Snowgrass Wine in his hand. There was still more than half a glass left, but Fang Ping did not dare to touch it. He placed it on the bar counter.

When he walked out of the chess hall, the sky had already darkened.

Tomorrow, he would leave Fire Dragon Border Fortress and Fire Dragon City. He also had to buy some things he needed on the way, such as dry rations, kerosene, and clothes.

He wondered if Andre and Qing Niao were feeling better and if he should help them replenish as well.

But first, dinner.

There was also a commercial street in the Fire Dragon Border Fortress. Blade Edge Square was brightly lit, and there were various shops in the middle. It was similar to the Giant Cannon Square of Silver Heron’s team, but after planning, it looked even neater.

On the periphery of Blade’s Edge Square, there were a lot of foods sold. Basically, they were mainly yellow melons. However, the delicacies made were of wide variety and there were more options than in Elf City.

Perhaps because the environment here was safer, they could focus more on making food.

Fang Ping ordered a serving of grilled meat with snow vegetables and a bowl of porridge. He sat by the roadside and waited.

“I didn’t expect to find sticky stew here. It’s amazing.”

“That’s right. It’s a pity that Fang Ping isn’t here. Otherwise, he would definitely be very happy.”

“Qing Niao, Andre?”

“Fang Ping, there you are. What a coincidence. Look what we bought.”

Sticky old master’s chowder… So this was a chain store?

“Are you two recovered?”

“Qing Niao has recovered. I estimate that it will take a few more days for it to fully recover, but doing the basic activities is fine.”

Andre nibbled on the pancake and dipped it into the sticky stew in front of him. He ate happily.

In any case, Fang Ping could not understand such delicacies.

Qing Niao rubbed his hands. “Fang Ping, how much is the treatment fee? I’ll pay you back along with the money I owe you previously.”

“I’ll remember that. When you have the money, I’ll ask you for it.”

Qing Niao and Andre seemed to be fine. The healing efficiency of this world was really high.

Of course, the prerequisite was that they had money.

They finished dinner together and prepared for their next trip.

“Andre, have you heard? We’re not returning to the Elf City this time. We’re going to the Snowy Mountains and take a detour to the Elven Forest.”

“Ah!” Qing Niao’s reaction was even greater. “Aren’t we going back to Elf City? Fang Ping, are you sure?”

“That’s what I heard, but I don’t think it’s wrong.”

Qing Niao immediately lowered his head. “I want to go back to the Elf City, I…”

He probably missed Ai Bev.

Fang Ping sighed. “I want to go back to Elf City too. I’ve been out for too long. I still feel more comfortable staying in the Silver Heron team.”

Andre said, “Why do you want to go back now? There’s nothing. You miss Ai Bev? With your current state? What right do you have to look for her?

I feel that it was a good thing to take a detour around Snowy Mountain and head to the Forest of Elves.

I heard that Snowy Mountain was the place with the most gold mines. If we could get a piece of gold, we would make a killing. Even if we didn’t, going to the Forest of Elves was also a very good experience. It would also be very useful in the army in the future.

We’re young now, so we should do more. The most important thing is to improve ourselves. Only if your fists are hard enough can you grasp what you want.”

Qing Niao’s lips were tightly shut as he nodded. “Alright!”

It had to be said that Andre was quite good at motivating others.

After saying that, Andre turned to look at Fang Ping. “Fang Ping, you too. Don’t always think about comfort. Now that the continent is in turmoil, there’s no such thing as true comfort. The most important thing is to become stronger.”

Fang Ping looked at him. Was he addicted to doing this?

“I’m at Class 2. I have six Excellent-grade skills.”

…

After dinner, they began to stroll around the night market. There were still much fewer people at the Fire Dragon Border Fortress than in Elf City.

However, there were still all kinds of things that should be there.

Ropes, oil bags, firewood, dry rations, a few bottles of healing potions, a few blank skill crystals as backup, and Qing Niao even bought a handful of needles and thread.

“Eh, there’s an alchemy lab here?”

Fang Ping saw a familiar building with a pale yellow spire.

“Andre, isn’t your energy almost 1,000? Can your skill be upgraded?”

Andre nodded. “My Smite skjll has been upgraded to Excellent-grade a long time ago. Once I have enough energy, I can advance to Class 2. Qing Niao, what about you?”

“I haven’t upgraded yet.”

Andre walked in front. “Let’s go. The frequency of use of the Life Forbidden Spell is not low. Let’s see if it can be upgraded to Excellent.”

The alchemy laboratory at the Fire Dragon Border Fortress was also divided into three areas. Andre brought Qing Niao to the Upgrade Area to work on his skills.

He could not go to the Enlightenment Area for the time being. Fang Ping still had an Excellent-grade Alchemy Stone, but he could not use it yet.

Fang Ping looked at the third area, the Smelting Area.

He had never been to the Smelting Area before. All he knew was that it was a skill gamble. Fang Ping did not have an empty skill slot now, so there was no point in going.

“That’s great! I knew you could do it!”

The alchemy laboratory was already empty, and Andre’s voice echoed throughout the hall.

It seemed to have worked.

Fang Ping also walked quickly toward the upgrade area.

As soon as he entered, he saw Andre grabbing Qing Niao’s collar. “This, this is, Qing Niao, you’ve advanced to Class 2!”

The person sitting behind the table smiled and nodded. “Not bad, not bad. You advanced to the Class 2 at such a young age. Your future is bright.”

“Hahaha! I’ve reached class 2! It only took me two months to become a Class 2 Spell Caster!”

“Hahaha, Class 2! Class 2! Class 2…” Qing Niao laughed and cried.

“I’m also a Class 2 Professional. I’m faster than those advanced students. I did it. I’m not inferior to them.”

Andre slapped his head, causing Qing Niao to fall to the ground. “What are you thinking? You’re the best. Let’s go and eat barbecue to celebrate your upgrade. My treat!”

Qing Niao got up from the ground and wiped his tears. He gritted his teeth and smiled. “Alright!”

After following them out of the alchemy laboratory, Qing Niao and Andre hugged each other’s shoulders and laughed loudly.

Fang Ping did not expect Qing Niao to reach Class 2 so quickly. Everything happened so quickly that it seemed unreal.

Qing Niao went from 300 energy points to 1,000 energy points. It was ridiculous.
