: The Recommender

..............................

[Ding! "Old Tang's" favorability towards you has increased by 5 points, currently at 15 points]

Although I don't know why, an improvement is a good thing.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Zhiying spoke:

"If you insist on making amends, then I'd like to ask you for a favor."

You're practically my half-brother!

We're brothers now, what else is there to say?

"Just speak up, don't just say one, ten is fine too!"

Old Tang patted his chest vigorously, giving his early approval.

"Haha, not that many, just one. Of course, this is just a request, you can refuse."

Lin Zhiying spoke first, giving Lao Tang a heads-up, and continued:

"I want you to be a recommender for my hunter website."

A recommender on the Hunter website!

Caesar, who was standing nearby, reacted first upon hearing Lin Zhiying's request.

He was puzzled as to why they didn't just contact him directly.

Old Tang was clearly surprised that Lin Zhiying would say this, and fell silent for a moment.

Hunter website? Referrer?

The security team members who could cut water with a single stroke and move five centimeters with a single hand were also somewhat surprised.

What is this?

Has the expert figured something out again?

As a neutral faction in the game, the Hunter website can be joined in two ways: one is to reach a certain level of strength and then be certified.

The other option is to get a recommendation from a hunter of level 3 or higher.

The second option is to skip the one-month observation period and become a full member directly.

However, the downside is that if the commission fails during the period, the referrer will have to bear all the costs.

This type of person often lacks ability and makes such a request out of consideration for risk.

Becoming your own referrer means sharing the risks with yourself.

Lin Zhiying did not have Caesar as his recommender because he did not want to owe him too much.

I have already obtained a skill book worth 50 from Caesar.

Moreover, this might affect the improvement of favorability later on. Now that we have the opportunity, we might as well try to follow Lao Tang's path.

There was another hidden benefit to his doing this: it connected him with Lao Tang.

You know, he's the Dragon King Norton; he might come in handy sometime.

To be honest, Old Tang hesitated.

If you become a referrer and something goes wrong, the 20 yuan penalty might not be enough to cover it.

So, should I take the gamble?

On one hand, it's 20; on the other hand, there's no upper limit.

His fingers gently tugged at the seam of his trousers.

Suddenly, with a "smack," he slapped himself in the face to everyone's astonishment.

You're a fucking bastard!

Not only did others save your life, they also believed in you unconditionally!

Now that we're asking you to be a referrer, you're already so hesitant? We're not even sure if you'll have to pay compensation.

"I agree, brother, what's your name?"

Old Tang's left cheek was slapped red, but his tone was unwavering.

Lin Zhiying.

He was naturally unaware of Old Tang's inner struggle.

"Lin Zhiying..."

Old Tang chewed on the name repeatedly.

"This is my phone number. You can do it when you get back."

Lin Zhiying took a pen and paper from the appraiser, wrote down her number, and handed it over.

Upon hearing this, Old Tang shook his head and said:

"Do you have a computer? I'll set it up for you here before I leave."

Lin Zhiying was somewhat surprised by this, but since the other party had made the request, he did not refuse. He looked at Han Gao.

After a long silence, Han Gao waved to the security captain:

"Take him there."

"The necklace has been found. Everyone else, please disperse. Thank you all for your efforts. Each security guard will receive a reward of 10,000 yuan!"

Upon hearing this, the security team immediately cheered excitedly.

They could say they received 10,000 yuan without doing anything.

Only when they left with a single, decisive strike and a five-second hand speed did they show reluctance in their eyes. The reason was simple: their legs were still there.

Han Gao then gave instructions to the others, saying that the other guests could also leave, and that they must do a good job of calming them down after such a disturbance.

He turned to Lin Zhiying and said, "I have something I'd like to say to you. I wonder if you have the time?"

As expected, Lin Zhiying had anticipated Han Gao's invitation.

He nodded, also curious about what Han Gao, the leader of his faction, would say to him.

"Contact me by phone if anything happens."

Because he himself had brought him to the auction house, and they had almost been assassinated, Caesar felt somewhat ashamed and spoke up to entrust him with this task.

"Of course, you should go back first."

Lin Zhiying waved goodbye to Caesar, knowing she wouldn't let him off the hook.

........................

After a long while, everyone else left, and the corridor became empty.

Han Gao gestured for Lin Zhiying to follow him, and the two of them wandered around and eventually returned to the original private room.

Henkel sat down on the sofa naturally, and after Lin Zhiying sat down, he turned around to look at him.

The next moment, without any warning, he drew the revolver from his waist and pointed the gun at Lin Zhiying.

For a moment, the air in the private room seemed to stand still.

A few seconds later, Henkel spoke slowly with a smile, the revolver spinning a few times on his fingertips before finally settling in his palm:

Why didn't you dodge just now?

"Ha, why try to avoid it when you already know the outcome?"

"I don't think I can outrun light."

Lin Zhiying smiled, raised her head, and met his gaze without backing down.

Actually, I didn't even realize what was happening. Old man, how did you draw your gun so quickly!

Quick draw!

"Interesting. There aren't many interesting young people like you anymore. I won't waste any more time on nonsense."

Henkel got up, took a can of beer from the liquor cabinet, and turned to ask, "What would you like to drink?"

"Cola, thank you."

"Can we skip those girly drinks and have a beer instead?"

"Cola, thank you!"

"Okay, you win."

Henkel tilted his head and tossed a can of cola over.

They both took a sip of the large cup of wine.

Perhaps because he had been drinking, Han Gao's face was flushed.

He placed his revolver on the table and pushed it over.

"Let me show you my gun."

Lin Zhiying took the gun, and the information about this old-fashioned revolver was immediately displayed on the panel.

The Peacekeeper (Legendary)

【Effect:

1. Absolute Justice: Each shot randomly inflicts one of the following effects: Guaranteed hit; Instant death; Bleeding; True damage; Judgment; Crippling.

2. Defend Peace: The Peace Defender is incompatible with regular bullets. Each shot consumes the following in order: ① Money ② Mana ③ Health ④ Experience ⑤ Attributes ⑥ Life, generating a bullet (the effect lasts for one hour, after which it resets).

3. Truth: Truth is unique, and the effects it carries in each round will always be different; if the current attack already carries one of the six effects mentioned above, it will randomly carry other effects.

4. Unique Legendary: This item is unique.

[Description: The legendary weapon wielded by Henkel, a forged alchemical firearm, was created to slay dragons.]

This gun is actually a legendary item?!

Han Gao looked at him with a smile, quite pleased with his surprise, like a child showing off his toy.

He crushed the can, as if making up his mind, and said, "So, do you want it?"
