Chapter 41 The Evil Ape Hunting Team (1/2)

Some of the herbs that Herbert collected were so young that they didn't even look a year old. A handful of such herbs might not be worth a single piece of vital energy crystal.

Even more ridiculous was the fact that even at the critical moment of his escape, Herbert still carried the large sack of cheap herbs with him. It seemed that he was obsessed with the herbs.

”I appreciate your kindness, but I don't want herbs. You've worked so hard to collect them. You'd better keep them.”

As Austin had saved his life, Herbert wanted to express his gratitude by giving him some herbs. To his surprise, Austin refused.

The herbs were cheap as they were only worth a few pieces of vital energy crystals. Although Austin thought that they were useless, Herbert didn't think so.

”Er... But I only have these for you. I don't have much left.”

Herbert was embarrassed. He thought Austin was expecting more.

”Well, you can have half. That's quite a lot.”

Reluctantly, Herbert held the corner of the sack and poured half the herbs on the ground.

Austin frowned and thought, 'You are so odd!'

”No, thank you. I said I don't want any.”

Austin lost his patience.

Eventually, Herbert realized that Austin was not appreciative of the herbs that he valued.

After thinking about it, Herbert realized why Austin didn't want the herbs. The two cores from first-level Diabolic Beasts that Austin had just acquired were worth more than forty pieces of vital energy crystals, while all the herbs in the sack were not worth much.

Besides, with his skills, it had not been difficult for Austin to kill the diabolic beasts and get their cores.

'He must be rich. That's probably why he doesn't value these cheap herbs.' Herbert's embarrassment disappeared, and he felt pleased. After all, Austin's assistance would not cost him anything.

”Dude, you saved my life. Perhaps I can repay you later. May I know your name?” asked Herbert.

”My name is Austin. You can call me Tin.”
