Chapter 190: 190
The next day, Davis woke up gradually, feeling refreshed and motivated .
It might feel silly but even an 80-year-old mortal might find excitement in being able to fly . To say any less of him . . .
Changing his clothes to the Cloud Spring Mercenary uniform, he went out of his room and headed to the Mission Hall .
There, he saw the receptionist lady again, who suddenly stiffened upon catching sight of him .
'This is already the third time we're meeting, guess I'll ask her name . . . ' Davis thought as he smiled at her .
Maybe it was because he was in a good mood, his smile seemed harmless enough that made the reception lady's nervousness go away .
"What's your name?"
The receptionist lady blinked and replied, "Sasha . . . "
"Elder Sister Sasha, is there any mission suitable for me?" Davis asked and explained about his prowess while leaving out the part of his Soul Cultivation .
"Am . . . Amazing . . . You're only 12 years old . . . yet, you reached the Silver Body Stage and Revolving Core Stage!?" Sasha's eyes were sparkling yet it held quite an amount of suspicion and curiosity .
"You sure that you're not an old man disguising to be a child?" She questioned out of spite but it was mainly to get him to confess the truth .
Davis chuckled and said jokingly, "I'm a middle-aged man disguising as a child . . . "
"Really? I knew it! I'm only 28 years old and if you were not really even half my age, I should just look for a bottomless abyss to die!" Sasha sighed in relief .
Davis's expression changed before he started laughing again, "Isn't it easy to believe in what you want to believe?"
Sasha looked confused before her cheeks reddened in shame, thinking that she had been outwitted by a 12-year-old kid .
Then her expression looked complicated as she once more questioned him, "Then are you really just 12 years old?"
Davis nodded his head while her expression turned awful before sighing in defeat, "Originally, I thought I wasn't so bad but when compared with people like you, there's no chance is there?"
Davis shook his head and said, "Life is unpredictable . . . You never know what might happen the next day or the next moment . . . "
"I see . . . " Sasha said with a weak smile .
'Phew . . . That was close, I never expected her to believe me so easily that I'm a middle-aged man . ' Davis gasped in his heart .
She then moved around and brought some scrolls while placing them on the table, "Well, these are all the missions that you could complete with your prowess . . . "
"Thanks!" Davis politely replied and took a look into it .

"Is this fine? I don't have the warrior badge yet . . . " Davis frowned as he looked at the limitation .
"Ah . . . I forgot to inform you that Leader Daniuis has sent this to you as a form of apology . " Sasha ran and came back, having a badge that looked shinier than the one on his uniform .
She then gave it to him and he wore it without a word of thanks but only a nod .
He then looked at the other three scrolls on his table .

"Can I accept them all?" Davis questioned, not sure if he could accept many missions at once since it would be a bother to complete a mission and return to the headquarters rather than to complete all the missions and head to the headquarters .
Sasha smiled, "Of course, you can accept many missions as you want but if there are more than a single mission you have currently accepted, then you will have to pay 5% of the Cloud Spring points you gain from the reward every month in case if you haven't completed those missions . "
"Hmm? Why is that?" Davis's expression turned confused, so he asked .
"This is probably to keep people from hoarding missions . . . " Sasha replied as she placed a finger on her chin .
"Oh? Only a limited number of people can accept that single mission?"
"Yes, only a few scrolls exist for the mission you have accepted . So if someone wants to finish this mission, then they will either have to join your team or search for the others who have accepted this mission and convince them to let them join their team . "
Suddenly, she widened her eyes, "That's right, I almost forgot again! Lucas and Lucia wanted to form a team with you after you had completed the recruit's mission . "
Davis nodded, "Is that so? Well, tell them that I'll leave tomorrow morning and if they're up for it, to meet me at the Northern Gate . "
"Understood, I'll inform them!" Sasha nodded as she smiled .
Davis nodded and left .
Just when he was halfway to the exit, he stopped and turned back, "Do you know how can I get spirit stones?"
"They're being sold in the treasury! 100 Cloud Spring points each!"
'Expensive!' Davis thought, then asked, "What if I sold them to the treasury?"
"Usually, it's 80% of the buying price, so it should be 80 Cloud Spring points each . . . "
'Holy shit! This is a rip off! Contribution points my ass! This is just plain robbery!'
"Well, this isn't a sect but a mercenary group . . . " Sasha wryly smiled at his face fully knowing what was on his mind .
"But they would offer two, or maybe even more times the price for an item that isn't listed on the treasury . . . "
"Oh . . . " Davis nodded his head, thanked her and left .
