Divine Doctor Mommy Is A True Big Shot-Chapter 522: The First Official Mission

"Are you the doctor, or am I the doctor? You must listen to me, your current physical condition cannot withstand any more anger."

In the guest room, Feng Bailing said irritably.

Dugu Wu pinched the center of his brows several times.

He could already recite those words by heart.

"At that time, I had no other method to refuse. Moreover, the issue of the Black Fog isn’t just Qinghe City’s problem alone. If we can’t determine the source of the Black Fog, it might affect the upcoming Competition Among Ten Countries, and we could even be surrounded in Qinghe City, or the Black Fog might spread to the Ten Countries. What Yue Shan said was not nonsense."

After Dugu Wu returned to the inn, he had also asked the innkeeper. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

According to the innkeeper, the Black Fog was indeed continuously spreading. Previously it was only in a small part of the jungle, but these days it had gradually spread to the mountains and even the desert areas, and even towards the edges of Wei Mountain. Once the windy season starts, the next step would be its spread to Qinghe City.

This also meant that everyone’s return journey might be cut off.

"With so many King of Soldiers in Mercenary City, can’t they go to investigate?"

Feng Bailing said discontentedly.

"Reinforcements from other cities are too pressed for time, and the situation isn’t as bad as you think. I am not exploring alone; there are two others with me. Mr. Nan Chen will cooperate with me, so there shouldn’t be any major obstacles. Besides, exploring won’t use too much Wen Energy."

Dugu Wu explained patiently.

Knocking sounds came from outside the door.

Then, Hong Xuan, Dongfang Yong, and Feng Luochen walked in, followed by a Dugu Xiaojin.

Dugu Xiaojin looked at her parents with a worried face.

"You two should also be careful, the child is outside. Can’t you discuss things nicely without having to argue?"

Hong Xuan said unhappily, it turns out the voices of Feng Bailing couple in the room had reached outside, and people outside thought the couple were arguing.

"That’s settled then. Hong Xuan, what did you guys come to see me for?"

Dugu Wu had made up his mind, and Feng Bailing knew she couldn’t persuade him, so she could only plan differently in her heart.

Upon seeing Dugu Xiaojin again, Feng Bailing noticed the Amber Spider.

The Amber Spider had grown since the last time, now perched on Dugu Xiaojin’s shoulder. Feng Bailing’s eyes brightened; it seemed like the Amber Spider had managed everything well.

"We’ve all heard about the Black Fog, and the Competition Among Ten Countries might be delayed. Can we help in any way?"

Hong Xuan was also somewhat worried about Dugu Wu. Feng Bailing’s medical skills were good, and if she insisted that Dugu Wu should not get angry, then Dugu Wu’s injuries must be serious.

"You can’t help with this matter. The Black Fog is not simple."

Dugu Wu did not want to say more, as it was already good enough that Hong Xuan and the others hadn’t messed things up.

At this time, someone from Dongfang Yu came to invite Dugu Wu over, apparently to discuss the exploration of the Black Fog tomorrow.

Seeing Dugu Wu leave, Hong Xuan looked dissatisfied.

"Dugu this guy, too full of himself. After all, we are mercenaries too, though we don’t know Wen Energy, we could still help a bit. Besides, we have nothing to do in the city. Are we just going to sit around for the remaining days?"

The mercenary activities in Qinghe City used to be frequent, but due to the issue of the Black Fog, people in the city were panicking, and Soldier Inn also issued restrictions, urging people to minimize going out, trapping everyone inside the city, which made the eager Hong Xuan and others feel very bored.

"I do have an idea, today at Soldier Inn we saw a transport task, this task was issued by Underworld Market, one can earn ten thousand taels per person. I was not planning to accept it originally, but if we’re trapped in the city with nothing to do, it might be better to take a task and earn some rewards."

Feng Luochen suggested.

Dongfang Yong also agreed.

"The reward for this task is quite generous, I heard it’s merely about transporting the Heavenly Stone to a nearby mountain."

Unintentionally said, but attentively heard.

Feng Bailin curiously asked,

"Was the task issued by Underworld Market?"

Dongfang Yongshi gave Feng Bailin a glance.

"It’s none of your business."

The three of them spoke and then left the inn to go to the Soldier Inn.

Feng Bailin shook his head secretly; these three guys, not even thinking about why Underworld Market would suddenly offer a generous reward just for transporting the Heavenly Stone.

Wei Mountain is a volcano, located near the jungle, the continuously spreading Black Fog might have already affected Wei Mountain, there must have been some problem with the regular transport, which is why mercenaries were specifically requested to escort the Heavenly Stone.

"Queen Mother, I feel there’s something more to this matter."

Dugu Xiaojin expressed his concern.

Today, while he was strolling in the street, he also heard some residents talking about the Black Fog, and he overheard the quarrels between his father and the Queen Mother outside.

His father intended to explore the Black Fog, Queen Mother was worried about him, Dugu Xiaojin was also very concerned about his father and others like Feng Luochen.

"My dear Xiaojin is wise. Do not follow the example of those three fools, who despite their age, leap into the fire pit. It’s time they grew a bit of sense from this experience. You, stay out of this matter."

"Queen Mother, the Amber Spider seems to have eaten too much."

Dugu Xiaojin did not ask further and pointed at the Amber Spider on his shoulder.

Ever since this little creature emerged from the Heavenly Stone, it has been with Dugu Xiaojin day and night, becoming increasingly sentient. It started mimicking humans by burping when it got back earlier.

It had eaten tens of pounds of Heavenly Iron in one go. No wonder it’s burping.

Feng Bailin watched the Amber Spider with its belly round and full, his face breaking into a smile.

Feng Bailin then made the Amber Spider vomit out the Heavenly Iron it had eaten, gaining over twenty pounds of it.

Meanwhile, Feng Luochen and the other two had arrived at the Soldier Inn.

"All three of you need to sign up for the transport task."

After confirming the identities of the mercenaries at the Soldier Inn, they explained the route for transporting the Heavenly Stone and the remuneration, instructing them to assemble at the city gate early tomorrow.

After registering, the three left, and not long after, a female mercenary also entered the Soldier Inn.

"I am Feng San, a Grade E mercenary, I would like to sign up for the transport task."

After declaring her name, she also registered for the transport task.

At night, a list of fifty mercenaries was sent to Underworld Market.

Changsun Rou glanced at the list of fifty people; it had only been two days, and already fifty people had signed up, mostly old mercenaries of D-level and novice mercenaries of Grade E.

"Are you sure they can complete this transport task?"

Changsun Rou was still a bit worried.

"Young master, rest assured, the Black Fog has not yet spread to the foothills, and even if they encounter it, it’s no big deal. Ordinary people might have some trouble with the Black Fog, but the speed of mercenaries is sufficient to evade it. We just need to transport the Heavenly Stone to the forge halfway up the mountain. To hire mercenaries above D-level for just a transport task is not only expensive but there are also no mercenaries willing to take it. If it weren’t for the aggressive approach of the Black Fog, and some accidents with craftsmen before, we wouldn’t need to spend so much money hiring mercenaries."

Elder Liu sighed.
