He asked this question because he wanted to know Andrew’s background.

At the same time, he revealed their identity to prove that they were not malicious adventurers.

The Wolf Wind Expedition Team had a good reputation in Alice City. Many of the graduates were interns in this team. It was just like a well-known enterprise for the students to work in after graduation, and many students would kill to join in it.

However, what surprised Andy slightly was that the young man’s expression did not change after hearing that. He only gave a faint “Hmm”, making Andy slightly awkward.

When the other two members saw this, they frowned and were immediately unhappy. One of them said, “Hey, man! What was that attitude? We were kind enough to you. Why are you so arrogant?”

The other man started to scold him. “Hey! Haven’t you ever heard of the Wolf Wind Expedition Team? Or are you deaf?”

They were adventurers with short tempers. Moreover, Andrew was so young, which made them feel superior. They even felt like they were granting his wishes by talking to him.

Andrew glanced at the two of them indifferently.

Then his eyes fell on Amy. “I gotta go. If you have anything to say, just say it. Don’t beat around the bush.”

He looked young, but he was not an impulsive teenager. Therefore, he would not rage from the provocation of the two people.

Andrew’s indifference made the two of them feel like they were belittled.

“You … ” They were about to lose their temper when Amy stopped them.

“Uncle Foss, Uncle Tom, let me handle this.”

Although they were still angry, they held themselves back after hearing Amy’s words, standing aside and looking at Andrew with unfriendly eyes.

“Amy?”

Andy, the old man, also wanted to remind her. He felt that the young man in front of him was calm and unfathomable. Amy might not be able to handle it.

“Don’t worry, Uncle Andy.” Amy gave him a reassuring look.

Then she slowly walked up to Andrew, looked up at him, and politely stretched out her right hand.

“Amy Lawson, May I have your name?”

“Andrew Seuss.” For sure, Andrew would not refuse a polite greeting from a beautiful girl.

“Mr. Seuss, Could you please do me a favor?” Amy then asked.

“What are you giving me in return? And what do you want me to do?” Andrew was not surprised that they had something to ask from him, and he did not believe that they merely wanted to greet him in a friendly way.

So he didn’t stand on ceremony. If it wasn’t a very troublesome matter, he wouldn’t mind helping her.

Of course, the prerequisite was that she had to pay a price that satisfied him.

Amy hesitated for a moment before replying, “Mr. Andrew, I’d like to ask your beast to attack my unicorn, cause I need to test its poison resistance ability with your lizard’s poison.”

Hearing what she said, Andrew was a little stunned.

“Are you sure?”

This was the first time he had heard such a request. Someone actually wanted their beast to be poisoned?

After receiving Amy’s confirmation, Andrew was speechless. But he didn’t ask any more questions.

Since they were willing to make a bid to have his beast beat up her beast, Andrew didn’t mind helping her.

“Alright.”

He nodded and immediately continued, “Now, let me tell you my conditions.”

“I need 100 pounds of the Single-horned Earth Dragon’s blood and one skull of the Black-bone Winged Dragon. Do you agree to that?”

What?!

Hearing Andrew’s conditions, the other two members immediately cried out in surprise.

“Ridiculous! The blood of the Single-horned Earth Dragon is a medicinal ingredient that can strengthen one’s physique. And the bones of Black-bone Winged Dragon can even be used to make weapons. The two items add up to over a hundred crystal nucleus of the 2-star ordinary beasts!”

“Moreover, these items are practically priceless. It’s even hard to find either of them on the market.”

Andy frowned as well. “Andrew, your request is completely out of proportion to what you’re doing.”

Andrew shrugged nonchalantly. He just wanted to test them. It didn’t matter if they couldn’t agree.

So he said, “Never mind. Let me see how much you’re willing to pay. Make an offer. If I think it’s acceptable, I’ll agree.”

Amy discussed with Andy for a while before saying, “One hundred crystal coins. I hope you won’t refuse my tiny request.”

One hundred crystal coins. Andrew nodded in his heart.

Ten crystal coins were equivalent to a crystal nucleus of a 1-star ferocious beast, and one hundred crystal coins could be a crystal nucleus of a 2-star ferocious beast.

To be honest, this remuneration was not low.

It should be known that the three mutated wild boars that Andrew bought in the city were only worth ten crystal coins, and one hundred crystal coins was enough to buy thirty mutated wild boars.

And the favor was a piece of cake for him.

Therefore, Andrew nodded and said, “Sure.” After that, he changed the topic and said again,

“However, There’s something that I need to make clear in advance. If your beast is poisoned and can’t be cured, I won’t take the responsibility.”

Hearing that, Andy said, “Don’t worry. Just let your beast do it. We won’t let anything happen to Amy’s beast.”

The other two members also spoke up, “Since we’re here, Amy’s beast can’t be poisoned. Even if it happens, we could easily cure it!”

“That’s right! Anyway, we wouldn’t have asked you for help if we could find other poisonous beasts in this area.”

Andrew didn’t care about their ridicule. He patted the big head of the lizard beside him.

It understood what Andrew meant and made a low, unwilling howl. Then, the lizard took a step forward and walked toward the unicorn unwillingly, though it didn’t like the unicorn very much.

Seeing this, Amy patted the unicorn beside her.

Then, the unicorn and the lizard stood facing each other.

There was still a disdainful look on the lizard’s face, even when facing a beast that was higher in star level, which made Andy look up to it.

This lizard was not scared nor suppressed by the unicorn’s bloodline.

Could it be that this beast’s star level was above 4?

But, the soul rings on that young man’s body were clearly 2-star soul rings. That indicated this beast was a 2-star one.

Then what exactly was the reason for this beast not to be afraid?

Andy looked at the two opposing beasts with doubt in his heart.

Just as he was thinking, the lizard moved.

It wasn’t very fast with the speed of a 2-star ordinary beast. Andy saw it.

On the other hand, the unicorn had received Amy’s instruction and didn’t dodge the lizard’s attack. It just raised its head arrogantly.

After the attack, the lizard immediately left.

It sneezed and trotted back to Andrew’s side after completing its task.

“Well done!” Andrew patted its head and said to Amy, “I’ve done it, and now it’s your turn to give me what you promised..”
