These Familiars Are Strange-Chapter 210 : New assignment
"Well, how was your first time standing out?"
My face twitched when I heard him say this.
I looked at Mu Gong who just looked back at me with that same smile on his face and there was an urge to punch him right in the middle of that smile.
But I held myself back in the end.
It wouldn't be good if I were to punch Mu Gong in the face…or maybe it would be?
There was a part of me that even considered it since I knew how eccentric he was, he might even think that it was interesting if someone were to punch him. It might be completely fine since there was no one else in the world that would dare to do it…
But I held myself back in the end.
After we arrived back at the Explorer Association, we found that An Xue Yun and An Long were there waiting for us. It seemed that they had been waiting for some time now with the way that they were sitting there relaxing.
Or it might be that they were actually just relaxing and we had interrupted them.
But that wasn't the case as An Xue Yun immediately stood up after seeing that we had come back and she came to my side to ask, "You're back. How did it go?"
I didn't answer this question right away as a bitter smile appeared on my face. After all, there wasn't a single thing that turned out the way that I wanted it to.
All of the things that I had prepared were useless…
"Do you like this feeling of being helpless?"
I slowly turned to look at Mu Gong with a strange look after he asked me this.
I couldn't figure out what he meant by this, but I knew that he wouldn't say something like this without a reason.
Otherwise…it seemed a bit too cruel.

But seeing that he wasn't saying anything as he continued staring at me, I had no choice but to slowly shake my head.
At this, a wide smile appeared on Mu Gong's face before he said, "Good, then it seems that you have learned something from this. Then it seems that all of this was worth it."
Then the tone of his voice changed as he said, "Then it seems like I can give you your next assignment."
A confused look appeared on my face after hearing this, but Mu Gong didn't say anything else about this.
Instead, he said, "Now you know the difference between a high grade dungeon and low grade dungeon, you will be able to face them without a problem. You'll know what to expect in the future, so you'll know what to do when you go into high grade dungeons in the future."
It really seemed like he was implying something with this…
"What prizes did you get?" An Xue Yun suddenly asked this question which pulled our attention to her.
Seeing the way that she looked at me, I pulled out the rewards that had been given.
After looking at them, she said, "Is that really it?"
An Long shook his head with a bitter smile before saying, "Is that not good enough? These are items that are considered quite rare and hard to find for normal people. They are considered rare and hard to find even for me."
An Xue Yun looked at her father before shaking her head to say, "But it can't compare to the things that you've brought me."
An Long really didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard this.
She was his precious daughter, so it was only natural that he would bring her special things. If he didn't bring those special things back for her, who else was he supposed to bring those special things for?
But those were still special things that were on the same level as these items.
And these items were all special A Rank items.
These were items that even World Summoners would fight over, let alone A Rank Summoners.
So these things were anything but normal.
It was just that in my eyes, I didn't think that they were special at all.
Neither did Iris since she was another daughter of a World Summoner couple who got special things from them.
The only one that regarded these things as special was Wang Rong who didn't have a special background.
Though I didn't have a special background, my common sense had been warped because of the Scavenger Rabbit. I was able to get these things quite easily with the Scavenger Rabbit, which was why they weren't that rare for me.
But there was one thing that did catch my attention.
This was the whole reason I had joined the competition in the first place.
It was a bottle that contained some kind of liquid.
Familiar Awakening Potion
That was the name of the item and the function of this item was its ability to give a familiar a second awakening. It was one of the rare items that would allow one's familiar to increase their grade.
That was why I was excited about getting it.
To say that the grade of my familiar wasn't a complex was considered a lie.
But now I had the chance to raise the grade of the Echo Bat.
If the Echo Bat became stronger, then I would be able to hold my head up high when I met Long Tang Tang in the future.
"Knock, knock."
While the two of them were having their own argument, they were suddenly interrupted by this knocking on the door.
An Long deeply knitted his brows.
After all, he had already told everyone that he had something to take care of and that no one should interrupt him during this time.
But the door just opened before he could say anything.
He couldn't help narrowing his eyes when he saw this person. The look in his eyes made it seem like he recognized this person.
"I've brought it." This person just ignored An Long who this office belonged to and said this to Mu Gong.
Mu Gong gave a simple nod in response before turning back to look at me to say, "Now, I've said that I had another assignment for you. It's time for you to accept this next assignment."
