Chapter 70 Part 1: Alita’s Mission (1)

After Karoso tidied up in his dormitory, he headed straight to the principal’s office.

Passing by some students, he overheard them discussing something…

"Too bad we missed it. Just now, Neymar was beating up that guy Maren from Avalon Academy on the stage."

"I heard Maren is Neymar’s older brother?"

"That was harsh, he couldn’t even get up after the beating, all battered and bruised."

"Lower your voice, is that Karoso? Their relationship seems quite complicated."

"Magic can be used like this…"

"During the Elemental Mage exchange, if Neymar is present, she would definitely win."

"Not a chance, Neymar is still too young."

When Karoso heard the news, a small smile couldn’t help but appear on his face.

Neymar has finally grown up.

[Master Karoso smiled happily.]

[Neymar has finally forgotten about her old family.]

[Sending your daughter away is really cruel, but it’s for the best.]

"Well, after I finish my work, I’ll go teach him a lesson."

……

Soon, with the principal leading the way, Karoso arrived at a hidden laboratory.

Pushing open the heavy door, Karoso entered the laboratory.

Everywhere in the laboratory, there were shelves full of books and various books scattered on the floor.

In the depths of the laboratory, a woman in a white coat was working with some materials.

Karoso took a deep breath and started walking forward.

"Be careful, don’t step on them."

The woman spoke.

Her voice sounded weak but clear in Karoso’s ears.

Karoso approached cautiously.

The laboratory was very dim, with only a few oil lamps. It was unclear if the professor preferred dim lighting.

Upon reaching the innermost part, Karoso finally saw Professor Alita conducting research.

Wearing a white coat couldn’t hide her beautiful figure.

It can be said that this is the broadest-minded woman Karoso has ever seen. Just by looking at her kindness, it could arouse a man’s most primal desires.

Her skin was very pale, looking like the unhealthy type of pale.

Although her hair was messy, her face and hair were clean, without a speck of dirt, not the thick dark circles Karoso imagined.

Seeing Karoso coming in, she pushed her glasses and whispered, "Are you the winner this time? What kind of card making do you want to learn?"

As she spoke, she displayed six cards.

Among them, there was the Flamestorm that countless Elemental Mages dream of.

The cards she displayed were all Elemental Mage cards, each one incredibly powerful, with the weakest being a fifth-tier card.

"Professor Alita, I know you," Karoso spoke up.

"A lot of people know me, but very few have seen me. I even turned down Merlin when he wanted to meet me," Alita said, playing with cards. "Let’s cut to the chase, I don’t like people who talk too much."

"Water of Blessings, and Shuowang Gold, I can get them for you," Karoso said. "Just let me know when you need them."

Alita’s hand hesitated for a moment. She slowly turned her head and looked at Karoso’s face. "Who are you?"

"I am Karoso Colloa," Karoso smiled.

Swish!

Alita suddenly stood up and grabbed Karoso’s collar, her eyes showing a hint of anger. "Why do you know about these two things?"

"You are a great Card Maker," Karoso said, recalling Merlin’s lines. "Unfortunately, your father broke his leg while exploring a dungeon for you, and that leg was cursed. Only by using the Water of Blessings could the curse be barely suppressed."

"You want to build a mechanical leg for him to replace the original one. But even the Water of Blessings can only barely suppress the curse. Even if you fit a new mechanical leg, it will still be corroded by the curse."

"To craft a perfect leg, you need Shuowang Gold, which is no ordinary material."

"You posted tasks in the black market and adventurer guild, clearly indicating you wanted these two things. Water of Blessings is easy to come by, but Shuowang Gold is a material only found in third-tier dungeons."

"This material is very special. If it’s taken out of a dungeon and not used to make something to wear within ten days, it loses its curse-swallowing ability."

"You waited for three years, even for those who completed the tasks with Shuowang Gold, the quantity wasn’t enough. In fact, many pieces of Shuowang Gold were already expired by the time they arrived here…"

"Are you investigating me?" Alita frowned.

"I need you," Karoso didn’t argue. "I want to have my own Card Maker team."

"Hmph." Alita let go of Karoso, sat on the chair, crossed her legs, and folded her hands in front of her chest. "Can you get it?"

"Of course," Karoso nodded. "Just because others can’t get it doesn’t mean I can’t."

"It’s too late," Alita shook her head. "Even if you manage to get it, it’s too late."

"Maybe for others," Karoso said. "I’m confident I can bring you the Shuowang Gold within a week. How will you repay me then?"

"How is your stepmother?"

"Huh?" Karoso looked confused for a moment.

"Haha…" Alita covered her mouth and chuckled, "Just kidding, I don’t like old men, I like handsome young guys like you."

[Hahaha… Master Karoso, don’t be fooled by Alita’s current appearance, she’s a different person when she’s out there.]

[Smoking, drinking, partying, and having a trendy look, Alita is a fashion pioneer.]

[I think Master Karoso misunderstood, in the CG, Merlin reaches out his hand to help Alita up, she does seem like a shy type.]

[Darn it, just met Alita and she’s already giving me a hard time, have to lift her spirits with cigarettes and alcohol, her personal missions are all about bar fights.]

[Don’t think she likes dim environments, she’s just poor and can’t afford to pay electricity bills.]

[These years, if she didn’t feel guilty towards her father, she wouldn’t have locked herself here making cards to earn money for her father’s medical expenses.]

[After staying in this environment for a long time, she felt very stressed and abnormal.]

[She had spent all her money for her father.]

Crack.

At that moment, Alita lit a cigarette, blew a smoke ring, and asked, "Youngster, how confident are you in getting the Shuowang Gold?"

"I know a dungeon, it’s third-tier, which matches my level. And in that dungeon, there is definitely the Shuowang Gold you seek," Karoso said. "I have my own companions who can help me retrieve what you need."
