016 Team 8566

When he first lost weight, Wu Wei felt it was a good thing.

However, in less than a day, Wu Wei felt that losing weight and becoming too good-looking was not necessarily without its cons.

While he was organizing his books, three young ladies had already come over to ask for his Runic ID.

Also, that young lady called Liu Feiyu had continued spamming him with several verification messages.

Wu Wei couldn’t understand how these young ladies were so free.

Why didn’t they go to Runic World if they were so free?

If they were so free, why weren’t they studying?

Didn’t they know that feelings were useless to Runemasters? Like the appendix that does nothing but cause health issues.

“As expected, women are meddlesome. Brother Black Robe is the best!

Oh, speaking of which, Brother Black Robe should be setting up his stall now, right? I have to go over and give him the money!”

Thinking of the black-robed stall owner, Wu Wei quickly stored his book inside his Book of Runes, filling a third of the storage space in the book. Next, Wu Wei brought out two thermal flasks filled with boar king’s heart soup as he approached the black-robed stall owner’s stall.

Wu Wei had come at a good time. The black-robed stall owner was just setting up his stall.

“Young man!”

Wu Wei went over and gave the stall owner a warm pat on the back.

The black-robed stall owner was startled and almost jumped.

Upon seeing that it was Wu Wei, the black-robed stall owner became even more flustered and only managed to raise the sign after fumbling for a long time.

[Who are you? What’s the matter?]

Reading the words, Wu Wei was stunned for a moment before he immediately realized why and quickly reintroduced himself:

“It’s me, it’s me, Wu Wei! I’ve lost weight!”

To further prove his identity, Wu Wei even took out his phone to look for the black-robed stall owner’s Runic ID and sent an emoticon.

Upon hearing Wu Wei’s words, the black-robed stall owner took a closer look at Wu Wei’s drastically changed figure and face and then glanced back at the smiley face sent by Wu Wei.

The realization left the stall owner thunderstruck.

Although it was not uncommon for Runemasters to lose weight or grow taller overnight, it was basically unheard of for someone to undergo such a massive change.

Can you call this losing weight? You clearly underwent some big operation!

The black-robed stall owner needed some time to come to terms with reality, but Wu Wei was already beginning to pass over all sorts of items.

“Little brother, this is the 50 runic stones that I owe you. I’m returning them to you now. These two flasks are filled with boar king’s heart soup that can help improve your physical condition. Just look at how skinny you are! All of this is thanks to the effects of your medicinal dregs!”

“I have to say, the effects of your dregs are truly incredible. Even a level 10 boss could not withstand it. It’s all thanks to you!!”

In just a moment, the black-robed stall owner’s arms had become stuffed full of items.

Looking at the quantity of the items caused the stall owner to hesitate.

Wu Wei added, “Don’t refuse. Refusing means you don’t see me as a friend!”

Fortunately, the black-robed stall owner had interacted with Wu Wei a few times and so had gotten used to it.

The stall owner put down the items and took out two jars of medicinal dregs, passing them to Wu Wei while raising a sign.

[Return gift!]

Wu Wei did not stand on ceremony and accepted the items.

“You have my thanks!”

The black-robed stall owner then picked up the sign and subconsciously wanted to write something like ‘You’re a good person.’

However, the stall owner suddenly paused mid-writing and glanced at Wu Wei before quickly re-writing:

[Don’t thank me. We are friends!]

“Yes, we are friends. You’re a great brother, and I’m a great brother too, so don’t worry! Just like before, if I can figure out the use of these medicinal dregs, I will definitely inscribe it for you.”

The black-robed stall owner was dumbfounded.

Who’s your brother?

She quickly began to write down on the sign again:

[I am a girl!]

However, just as she was about to raise the sign, Wu Wei’s phone rang, and Wu Wei’s gaze shifted away from ‘him’ to his phone. When he picked it up, he saw that it was an unknown number.

Wu Wei casually answered the call. He thought it could be from Yue Minglou.

“Are you Student Wu Wei?”

A deep voice spoke on the other end of the call. As soon as Wu Wei heard the voice, he had the impression of a muscular man.

“I am, and you are?”

“Oh, it’s like this – I am the captain of Team 8566. My name is Zhou Tian. I heard from senior Lou Xiaoyue from Moonlight Organization that you are currently without a team, right?

“It just so happens that our team currently lacks a Runic Summoner. I wonder if you’re interested in joining us?”

“Uh!”

Wu Wei was caught off guard for a moment. He didn’t expect Lou Xiaoyue to have arranged a team for him this quickly.

What should he do?

He didn’t really want to join someone else’s team right now, but could he directly refuse?

Wu Wei also felt that it wouldn’t be nice to Lou Xiaoyue. After all, she had actually gone to the efforts of finding a Runic Summoner like him a team. This couldn’t have been an easy feat. He felt it was a little too unappreciative of him to refuse just like that.

As Wu Wei was hesitating, the man across from him spoke again.

“I know that you might not be mentally prepared for me to ask you so suddenly. How about this? I heard from senior Lou that you seem to be at the edge of Maple Leaf Town, right? It just so happens that we’ll be going there in the next two days. How about we meet up in Maple Leaf Town face to face?

“Of course, there’s no reason for you to feel burdened. Joining a team is a matter involving two parties. If you’re not satisfied or feel it’s not suitable, you can just bring it up.”

“It’s not like we have already ascertained your compatibility with the team anyway!”

Since he had already said so much, what could Wu Wei do?

Even if he didn’t want to join, he should attend the meeting first, at least.

Thus, Wu Wei subconsciously nodded his head.

“Alright, in that case, let’s meet in Maple Town!”

After making an appointment with Team 8566’s captain, Zhou Tian, regarding the time and place of the meeting, Wu Wei’s started to feel weighed down and lost his chatty mood. After quickly bidding farewell to the black-robed ‘man’, he left.

When the black-robed woman observed that Wu Wei wasn’t in a good mood, she hurriedly changed the words on the sign to:

[ Goodbye ]

At the same time, on the other side of Yuehua Academy, within the activity room of Team 8566.

After Zhou Tian hung up the phone, his teammates surrounded him.

“How is it?”

“He didn’t agree at first, so he may be averse to accepting the team invite. It seems that he’s still bearing scars from his experience with his previous team and is not fully ready to join a new team for the time being.”

One of the members beside him curled his lips.

“We aren’t ready to accept a Runic Summoner either!”

“Yeah, what our team needs more right now is support!”!

“We don’t lack combat power, but we don’t need some useless burden either!”

“That’s enough!”

Zhou Tian slammed the table. “Stop whining. Senior Lou is so good to us, so we must fulfill her request. Let me warn you first. In two days, when we meet, you must not provoke or bully him!”

Another teammate, a blond youngster, immediately replied:

“Don’t worry, we’re not that dumb!

No matter what, it was Senior Lou’s request. Let alone a Runic Summoner – even if she asked us to bring a dog along, we would not hesitate. That’s just how much a favor to Senior Lou is worth!”
