Time flies.
Mu Jinyu has been in Zhenhai City for ten days now.
He still hasn’t received any notification from the fleet.
It seems they are still trying to gather people heading to the Central Domain?
Meanwhile, Mu Jinyu is staying in that old shabby house, not enjoying anything, and has already spent ten jin of Source Stones!
This makes him very unhappy!
At the same time, he’s quite relieved that he didn’t randomly choose to stay at that inn costing ten jin of Source Stones per day over there. Otherwise, he would have already spent a hundred jin of Source Stones now.
All for nothing!
Completely wasted!
"No way, I can’t wait any longer! I need to ask them exactly when the ship will depart. If not, I’ll demand a refund and go directly myself!"
Mu Jinyu cursed to himself.
Then, he left his shabby room and walked out of the dilapidated courtyard, heading to the main street by the fleet’s shop.
A few minutes later.
Mu Jinyu arrived at the front of the shop again.
He walked inside and discovered the shop assistant was someone different, not the person who served him before!
But, is it just a change in service rotation?
Mu Jinyu didn’t pay much attention to this, and directly approached the assistant, asking, "Hello, I am the person who paid the deposit for the fleet heading to the Central Domain ten days ago. Can you tell me when the fleet will gather enough people? When will it depart?!"
The assistant initially thought it was a new customer arriving, his eyes brightened a bit, just about to attend to Mu Jinyu, but then he heard Mu Jinyu’s words.
Instantly, his expression became uninterested, and he said lazily, "I don’t know!"
"What?! You don’t know?!"
Mu Jinyu was furious upon hearing such a perfunctory answer!
What kind of service attitude is this?!
He has already paid one thousand five hundred jin of Source Stones and, after being brushed off for ten days, came to ask them what the situation was, yet he remained polite without losing his temper, only to be told "I don’t know"?
What kind of person is this?!
"You don’t know? Then what do you do here?" Mu Jinyu’s expression dropped immediately, he asked coldly.
He wondered if he had been too polite and accommodating, letting them take advantage of him after taking his deposit and ignoring him?
Thus, his tone changed instantly.
"Hah..."
Upon hearing Mu Jinyu’s somewhat aggressive tone, the shop assistant glanced at him indifferently, chuckled mockingly, said nothing, and turned away, not wanting to engage with him!
"Hoo!!"
Mu Jinyu saw this, and finally couldn’t hold back his anger.
He let out a long breath and then grabbed the assistant’s arm, gently twisting it.
"Ow, ow, ow..."
This shop assistant’s strength was only at the early stage of the Merging Paths Realm, seemingly built up through consuming Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, completely unexpected that Mu Jinyu dared to make a move in the shop. Instantly, his arm was twisted by Mu Jinyu, making him wail.
He was about to cry!
"Let go, let go... I’ll talk, I’ll talk..."
The shop assistant initially tried to endure, but later found that this brought no benefit and caused even more unbearable pain.
Eventually, he chose to yield.
"Hmph!"
Seeing this, Mu Jinyu internally cursed him as a coward!
Then, he slightly loosened the assistant’s arm, without completely letting go, only making it less painful, and asked coldly, "Speak! What’s going on? Is your fleet playing games with me?"
"No, no..."
Even though the shop assistant was very displeased with Mu Jinyu, given the current situation, he didn’t dare to say much, his attitude softened considerably, and he answered honestly:
"We are not ignoring you or playing games, it’s just that passengers heading to the Central Domain are always few, usually taking years to gather enough people to depart!"
"Years of waiting? Are you joking with me?"
Mu Jinyu’s eyebrows rose upon hearing the assistant’s words, his eyes flickering with flames.
He was truly infuriated by them!
"It’s not a joke; our fleet always has this rule!" the assistant hurriedly said!
It was then that Mu Jinyu realized what the assistant meant by gathering numbers.
It turned out that they really needed to gather people, but not in the way he thought they would, which was within a few days, but rather it took several years!
"Then why didn’t you tell me clearly from the start?"
Mu Jinyu grew increasingly furious, asking the assistant angrily.
If at first, the assistant had informed him clearly that it would take years to wait.
He definitely wouldn’t have chosen their fleet, he might just cross the sea directly himself.
Or perhaps take a ship from the Southern Domain first, then change course midway to the Central Domain!
But they said nothing.
Obviously, it was deliberate to scam, taking his deposit, then making him wait slowly!
This was truly a good attitude!
Upon hearing Mu Jinyu’s words, the assistant thought to himself: "If I told you earlier, you wouldn’t have paid the deposit, then how would it work?"
Of course, this was something he dared not say in front of Mu Jinyu.
He said instead: "I don’t know either, perhaps the person who attended you thought you knew the rule? So he didn’t explain it clearly; you can’t blame me for this!"
The assistant looked pitifully at Mu Jinyu, hoping he would let go and stop twisting his arm.
"Fine! Can you contact that assistant and ask him to come here to explain to me?"
Mu Jinyu asked sternly.
"Yes, I can do that!"
The assistant nodded quickly in agreement; he would be a fool not to agree at this moment.
Clearly, the trouble was caused by another assistant, why should he suffer?
Surely he should get that assistant to come and bear Mu Jinyu’s anger!
"Good!"
Seeing the assistant agree, Mu Jinyu released his arm and let him contact the other assistant.
"What was the name of the assistant who attended you back then?"
The assistant rubbed his aching arm and asked Mu Jinyu.
He sincerely promised he wouldn’t be dodging Mu Jinyu’s request; he really wanted to find the culprit to make up for the loss.
"I don’t know his name either, he attended to me ten days ago, you should know who it was, right?"
Mu Jinyu didn’t know the assistant’s name, but he believed that since there was rotation among assistants, and this one asked this question.
This indicated there are more assistants here, so there must be a schedule, they should know which assistant was responsible for receiving guests ten days ago!
"Ten days ago..."
Upon hearing Mu Jinyu’s words, the assistant thought for a moment and remembered who was responsible for attending guests ten days ago.
He cursed through gritted teeth: "It must be that bastard Xiao Lin who was responsible!"
"I will call him to come and take responsibility!"
The assistant said angrily, took out a Communication Talisman, spoke a word into the talisman, then ignited it.
"Hoo!"
The talisman was ignited, then turned into a wisp of blue smoke, and flew outside!
"Wait a moment, that guy Xiao Lin should be returning soon!"
The assistant cautiously whispered.
Obviously, he was afraid of Mu Jinyu.
Knowing that this was a reckless character, if truly angered, he might resort to violence!
"Okay." Mu Jinyu nodded lightly, saying nothing further, his expression stern.
Then the assistant tentatively asked if he could leave?
Mu Jinyu certainly wouldn’t allow him to leave, as that assistant Xiao Lin hasn’t arrived yet!
Not allowing him to go, the assistant could only continue to stay in the shop bitterly.
After a while, the assistant who attended Mu Jinyu ten days ago finally arrived.
And when he saw Mu Jinyu, he couldn’t help but be momentarily stunned.
