Transmigrated into a Grandpa, Embracing the Laid-Back Life

Chapter 248, First Mission

Behind the counter, a steward in gray robes was yawning out of sheer boredom. Seeing Su Ming approach, he didn't even lift his eyelids. "What are you taking? Show your waist token first."

"I'm taking task seventy-three, Spirit Beast Peak formation maintenance." Su Ming handed over his waist token.

The steward, who had been picking his teeth, suddenly froze, nearly jabbing his gum.

He looked up, giving Su Ming a once-over, his gaze as if looking at a madman.

"You?" The steward pointed at Su Ming's brand-new outer sect magic robe. "Never seen you before. Newly promoted? Do you know how many days that task has been posted? Two Qi Refining late-stage formation masters went before, one had his eyebrows singed by an out-of-control earth fire, the other almost got turned into an ice pop. Both slunk away after paying compensation. You, a... hmm, Qi Refining fifth layer? Going to send yourself to death or to send money?"

Several disciples nearby who were picking tasks also cast surprised glances, and whispers started to rise.

"Who is this kid? So ignorant of his own limits?"

"He looks unfamiliar, probably just entered and wants to show off."

"Hey, if those Jade Water Python eggs shatter, he'll probably be scrubbing chamber pots on Spirit Beast Peak for the rest of his life to pay off the debt."

Su Ming's expression didn't change, his tone steady. "Since this disciple dares to take it, I naturally have some confidence. If something truly goes wrong, this disciple is willing to compensate according to the rules."The steward sneered, about to dissuade (or rather, mock) him, when a thunderously rough voice suddenly boomed from the main hall entrance.

"Who still dares to take it?! My eggs are about to be cooked! Those trash from Formation Peak usually brag to the heavens, but at the critical moment, they all turn into turtles pulling their heads in!"

The crowd scattered with a rustle.

They saw a burly, bear-like man wearing a sleeveless leather vest stride in with large steps.

His face was full of thick, fierce-looking flesh, his crimson hair stood on end, and his entire body exuded a heart-palpitating aura of violence, the bloody scent from years of battling demonic beasts.
