Zhou Jing had a few hunting records in the White Plains Town Workshop and had a sufficient quota for exchange. So, without hesitation, he immediately asked the person in charge of the workshop for the Wind Howl Tiger Potion.
However, the person in charge of the workshop looked troubled.
“Jason, I’m sorry. This is a potion that someone else has reserved. He put down the order ahead of you.”
Zhou Jing was stunned.
It seemed like he was down on his luck this time.
Hunters could reserve a certain type of mutant blood potion in the workshop. Once the workshop had a potion that met their needs, they would prioritize supplying it to those who put down the reservations.
He had also made a reservation, but it had not been long since he joined after all. He wasn’t as prioritized compared to the older hunters.
“Who made the reservation?”
“It’s Captain Maggi.”
“…Say his name again?”
“Maggi.”
The person in charge of the workshop repeated it earnestly.
The corners of Zhou Jing’s mouth twitched as he suppressed his desire to laugh at this name.
After taking a deep breath, he quickly returned to the main topic and asked in curiosity.
“There doesn’t seem to be such a person in the hunter list of White Plains Town.”
“Maggi is not a Mutant Hunter. He is the captain of Lord Lutt’s personal guard. He is a First Enhancement Mutant Blood Warrior,” the workshop manager explained.
“So he’s part of the lord’s guards…”
Zhou Jing came to a realization and frowned.
“That’s not right. He’s not even a hunter. Why should he make a reservation at the workshop?”
The most important task of the workshop was to ensure that the hunters were supplied with various products.
According to the rules, only mutant beast hunters could make an appointment at the workshop. The others did not have the right to make an appointment. Even if they spent money to buy it, they could only buy it on the spot. Their priority in the queue was lower than hunters.
“Uh, he’s the Captainder of the lord’s guards after all… The lord specially told me to allow this person to enjoy the treatment of a hunter.” The workshop manager’s tone was tactful.
“Well, I don’t care. Anyway, I want this potion.”
Zhou Jing decisively expressed his stance.
If the person who made the appointment was a working Mutant Beast Hunter, he would not mind discussing it with the other person. If the other party was unwilling, he would not force him even if he felt that it was a pity.
But this was for a personal guard who didn’t have to participate in hunting. They didn’t know each other, nor would they fight side by side. He wouldn’t do such a thankless task.
The main function of the Hunter Workshop was to serve the Mutant Beast Hunters. Mutant Blood Warriors who were not hunters should not have the privilege of being hunters.
“This is against the rules…” The workshop manager was conflicted.
Zhou Jing directly interrupted, “You let a non-hunter Mutant Blood Warrior make a reservation, and put him in front of the hunters. That’s is also against the rules.”
The manager rubbed his forehead helplessly, “If you take this potion away and Maggi asks, I’ll to explain to him.”
“Then why don’t you just not tell him about the potion?”
“The problem is that I already informed him yesterday to come and get it…” The workshop manager smiled bitterly.
“So you’re blaming me choosing such a perfect time?”
Zhou Jing raised his eyebrows.
At this moment, a burly man with a fierce face walked into the workshop. This person was wearing guard armor with a shield on his back and a long sword at his waist.
He looked around and quickly caught sight of the manager. He immediately walked over.
Seeing this, the manager had a subtle expression on his face. He looked at Zhou Jing and whispered.
“It seems like you really came at the perfect time. That guy is Maggi. He’s here to pick up the goods. You can talk to him yourself.”
At this moment, Maggi walked forward and looked at Zhou Jing strangely. However, he ignored him and greeted the workshop manager instead.
“Where’s the Wind Howl Tiger Potion I wanted? I’m here to collect it.”
“Ahem…” The workshop manager coughed and pointed at Zhou Jing. “Something happened. Jason has his eyes on the Wind Howl Tiger Potion. He wants it too.”
Maggi was stunned, then he said unhappily, “Didn’t you say I was the first in line for the reservation? What right do you have to let him cut the line?”
“I think you’re the one cutting the line,” Zhou Jing interrupted.
“Are you joking with me?” Maggi sneered. “Or has your brain been damaged by the mutant beasts? Can’t you tell who came first?”
Zhou Jing rolled his eyes and pointed at his feet. “Do you know where this is?”
“The Hunter’s Workshop. What nonsense are you talking about?” Maggi frowned.
“Then are you a hunter? Are you qualified to make a reservation at the workshop?”
“So what if I’m not? When the lord hired me, he allowed me to enjoy the treatment of the workshop like the hunters.” Maggi snorted. “These are the lord’s order. You can shut up and scram to the side. Anyway, this potion is mine.”
Zhou Jing was about to continue when a solemn and cold voice sounded from the side.
“A person who doesn’t have to risk his life to fight against Mutant Beast can actually obtain the same authority as a mutant beast hunter. Now, he’s even showing off in front of a hunter…”
Everyone turned to look.
Everyone watched as Weber walked in from the entrance, slowly sauntering up to Maggi. He stepped forward until his forehead was almost touching the other party’s before replying in an indifferent tone.
“You should get lost.”
Hearing this, Maggi instantly flared up.
He suddenly pushed Weber in the chest and shouted, “Stop putting on airs in front of me. I’m the Captain of the lord’s guards. Get away from me!”
As soon as he finished speaking…
Whoosh!
The sound of a blade being drawn suddenly rang out.
The blade that flowed with a cold light instantly pressed against Maggi’s neck.
The bone-chilling cold of the steel froze Maggi in place.
Maggi looked out of the corner of his eye, his gaze following the arm holding the knife. The endpoint was Zhou Jing’s face.
“I advise you not to lose your temper. It’s best if you leave now.” Zhou Jing shook his head.
Maggi was so angry that he laughed. “You tried to snatch what belongs to someone else, and you’re even threatening them with a blade now! Come and take a look. This is the behavior of a Mutant Beast Hunter!”
