"I had no face left to stay in my village. Wherever I went everyone would call me a poor bamboo solution," said Little Bo as he sat down on the ground with a posture of giving up on the world. "I ran away from the village with the thought that one day I will get my hands on real bamboo solutions and make those who laughed at me suffer and regret their actions."
The story left Mo Qiang speechless even the ever-stoic Mo Xifeng was having a hard time calming down as she looked at the panda with her lip twitching.
However, Little Bo did not seem to realise that he had done something wrong. He continued wiping his nose and said to Mo Qiang, "That was when I heard of you, Miss Mo. I thought that since you can purify mutated plants and animals, certainly you can also help me regain my lost dignity."
The two sisters glanced at one another before Mo Qiang turned to look at the little panda and said to him sternly, "You are right, I can indeed purify mutated plants and animals but there is no way I can help you in putting back your broken dignity."
That was nearly impossible.
"No, no! That's not what I meant!" Little Bo shook his hands in front of him. "I didn't mean to burden you by putting such a heavy burden on your shoulders. Now that my dignity has been lost, it's only right for me to claim it back."
He hesitated before saying to Mo Qiang, "All I wanted was to join hands with you in a small partnership."
"Partnership?" Mo Qiang raised a brow. Sure enough as long as one was alive, they would see everything. Who would have thought that one day she would actually get a partnership request from a panda?
Though a sentient one. He was still a panda.
"That's right," Little Bo nodded. He then used his chubby paws and tapped on the monitor that he was wearing and a second later a trader licence appeared in a 3D hologram in front of Mo Qiang and Mo Xifeng. "I am a merchant. Through a small one, I am allowed to visit any dimension and sell things."
As he spoke, he took out a few things from the backpack that he was carrying. Mo Qiang looked at the things that Little Bo had placed in front of her and was stupefied.
Because she remembered these things! Were they not the clothes and accessories that Shao Hui bought from an online merchant for millions of gold coins?
The pain of losing that much money was still fresh in her mind!
"Where did you get these things?" Mo Qiang asked.
"I bought them from another sentient beast; we call them orcs," replied Little Bo. "The one who handed these things to me is called Scammel. He said to me that these things would sell well, but I tried and tried hard—yet these things could not be sold. Scammel told me that I was not cut out for being a merchant and asked me to return the money that I owed him."
At this point, Little Bo started to cry again as he stammered, "But I had given him all my money already! Yet Scammel told me that it was a failing fee; he said that he could have sold these things for millions, and yet he did not because he wanted to help me, but I was too stupid that I could not sell this to anyone."
"I didn't have any money!"
Little Bo wiped his snot and added, "In the end, I had to give Scammel all my solutions. Now I have nothing, and I am dirt poor."
The more he thought about it the more Little Bo felt like he had been wronged by the world.
"He said that he was helping me out, and I am thankful for it, but—but I am so hungry and tired!"
"In fact, as you can see clearly, these clothes seem secondhand, which means that they cannot be worn again. They are useless, so why will anyone buy them?" freeweɓnovel.cѳm
