Reincarnation of the Strongest Healer

Chapter 380: Second Place

Initially confused, Veronica furrowed her brows, seemingly trying to ponder where Avalon City was located.

”Did another city ascend to the first-grade?” Veronica questioned, finding it baffling that such a news somehow went over her scope.

Any city that earned its ascension to another grade was major news, especially when it was a newly ascended first-grade city. One could think of it as a company going into the public listing, but multiply that by 100 times.

That was how big the scale was going to be, so to remain in the dark despite such an event meant that one wasnʼt even living under the rock, but they werenʼt even living anymore. Explore new worlds at empire

Meanwhile, Carmen was rendered speechless by Veronicaʼs narrowed scope and mindset.

Maybe because she had never visited any city lower than second-grade that prompted her to believe she was going to a first-grade city. After all, she did reject her suggestion of checking out the new sweets and coffee shop.

”Youʼre mistaken, Veronica.” Carmen smiled bitterly. ”Avalon City is a third-grade city, and Iʼm visiting there for a proper meeting.”

Since she was going to meet her guild leader to discuss the future aspect of the Vanguard guild, then it was considered a proper meeting in her mind.

”What proper meeting can there be if you are required to go to a third-grade city?” Baffled, Veronica found her to be more and more foreign.

Just previously, she was infuriated by her ghosting again, but then she arrived and then helped her level up.

During the grinding process, Carmenʼs fighting skills were over the top, stunning her every time she made a move.

She was like an expert, to say the least.

Additionally, albeit very briefly, she sensed some sadistic nature from Carmen, who was rather ruthless and shrewd in certain aspects.

ʼIs she really Carmen or an imposter?ʼ Veronica wondered silently.

She bit her lips softly before asking, ”Carmen, do you remember the time when I was assigned a project to market for Delta Entertainment. I asked you to help me with…”

As she trailed off from there without finishing the question, Carmen was rendered speechless.

Without a doubt, Veronica was suspecting her if she was a fake, otherwise, she wouldnʼt have asked such a question in which only they would know.

”I helped you with the art concept and found an artist willing to help increase the greatness of your marketing vision. It became a huge success and you were granted a huge bonus. You then treated me to a Skyler Restaurant as thanks.” Carmen rambled on and on regarding what they did.

Every detail was precise, so Veronica smiled embarrassingly.

”Haha, I guessed you do remember.” She chuckled softly, clearly hoping to laugh it off.

Carmen pursed her lips, ”Anyway, Iʼm going to log out now. I already booked a plane ticket and itʼs just right that the Divine World would be undergoing an update.”

”Wait a sec—”

Before Veronica could even finish her words, she saw Carmen logged out.

”Seriously… just who is she meeting?” She muttered, confused by Carmenʼs behavior.

Meanwhile, at this moment, Xu Feng had already rushed back to the competition site.

Sure enough, the site was nearly empty and barren, given most of the audiences were either getting ready to fight or prepare warfare equipment.

”This update really knows how to take people by surprise.” Xu Feng pursed his lips, finding the update to be ridiculous. There were still so many things he hadnʼt done yet!

”Chirp,” Flint chirped softly, its head tilted slightly, seemingly asking what was wrong. With the mana link, Flint could sense that Xu Feng was feeling irritated.

”Itʼs nothing to worry about,” Xu Feng smiled lightly, rubbing his small, rocky head.

Shortly after, Xu Feng searched for the office that Yaren would be in.

Thankfully, Crimson Heart was currently discussing things with Yaren, so he knew where to go.

Upon arriving at the office, Yaren was surprised to see Xu Feng returning so soon. ”Oh, I thought Earthrender would keep you there for longer.”

Suddenly, Yaren paused, her gaze locking on the mini creature laying on Xu Fengʼs shoulder.

”I hope that you wonʼt break the promise with Earthrender. Heʼs already quite unfortunate and unlucky, but he does uphold his bargain.” She calmly spoke, and gave a word of advice to Xu Feng. Rarely would she ever bother giving anyoneʼs advice, but Earthrender was an exception.

Earthrenderʼs fate and conduct was to Yarenʼs liking, which was why she even conducted trade with him in the first place. Otherwise, no matter how great the trade was, as long as she does not like the other party, there would be no trade.

Nodding, Xu Feng took a seat and smiled, ”Iʼm not the type to break my promise.”

”Good, then Iʼm sure you know the current Paradise Plains is in a state of alarm. I was also called to assist with the utilities department, so Iʼll ask you two here now.” Yaren stood up and announced, ”Who will be the person taking second place among the two of you in the Blacksmith Profession?”

Just when Crimson Heart was about to raise her hand and volunteered herself to take the second place, Xu Feng was faster.

”Iʼll take second place.” Xu Feng calmly said.

Before Crimson Heart could question him, he continued, ”I already got an amazing pet in return from this journey. Plus, from the start, I already said I didnʼt mind second place, so what we did was merely take a walk in a circle.”

This wasnʼt him having a change of heart or being generous all of a sudden, but the fact that Crimson Heart was already a member of Vanguard guild.

Additionally, she was prone to be a better and serious forger than him, who didnʼt have much interest in it. Of course, the real motive was that he didnʼt want to remain stuck in a workstation until the system updated a feature of automatic refining.

ʼWhy volunteer to be a slave when I can just have Crimson Heart forge the items I need?ʼ Xu Feng shrewdly thought.
