Chapter 65
Target: Plant-type Spirit Seed
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Chen woke up from a nap and saw two handsome boys carrying an enormous rabbit doll toward the sofa in the living room as soon as he opened the door.
They had just put the bunny doll down when they looked up and saw Lin Chen standing at the doorway on the second floor, a barely perceptible hint of hostility flashing in his eyes: "Oh! Someone got here before us!"
"Everything's moved out, you can leave now," Ai Tutu said without turning her head, as she lay on the sofa tidying up her toys.
"Brother, let's go!" A man wearing glasses waved to Lin Chen, signaling him to leave together.
Lin Chen ignored him and walked straight to the lounge. He picked up a cute cup from the bar, poured himself a glass of water, and drank it.
"Hey, I'm talking to you! Didn't you hear Tutu telling us to leave?"
The bespectacled man got angry and walked towards Lin Chen, reaching out to snatch the cup from Lin Chen's hand, but Lin Chen easily dodged it.
Hearing the two arguing, Ai Tutu immediately grabbed a bag of snacks from the table, turned over, and wanted to see how things would unfold.
But as soon as she turned around, she noticed the cup in Lin Chen's hand and instinctively exclaimed, "That's my cup!"
"Yours?" Lin Chen held it up to Ai Tutu, then put it back on the table. "Be careful next time. You can just wash it."
"Are you tired of living?! TuTu told you to leave, but you still won't leave and you're even drinking water from TuTu's cup!" The cream-faced man next to her looked refined, but his words were anything but.
"This is my house, you're the ones who should leave!" Lin Chen glared at the two men in front of him. They didn't even realize they were being used as backup options, yet they were still acting all high and mighty.
The cream-colored man and the bespectacled man didn't believe Lin Chen's words at all. After all, Lin Chen didn't have a single designer brand item on him; they were all wearing cheap clothes from street vendors. Moreover, Ai Tutu was watching them right now, so they couldn't afford to show any weakness.
As a result, the magical aura emanating from the two of them was released without any concealment.
Lin Chen frowned, and a moonlit star trail circled around him as he summoned the Gil Beast.
"Get these two idiots out of here," Lin Chen ordered directly.
With a flash, the Gilmon appeared directly beside the bespectacled man and the cream-colored man. A faint but powerful aura emanated from it, pressing down on the two of them and immediately calming the magical fluctuations on their bodies.
Immediately afterwards, Guilmon picked them up one by one, like carrying chicks, carried them to the door, threw them out, and then slammed the door shut.
"Aitutu, if you ask me to deal with these annoying flies again, I'll charge you 50,000 per time!" Lin Chen walked up to Aitutu and said condescendingly.
"Fifty thousand! Why don't you just rob someone?!" Ai Tutu said, baring his teeth and brandishing his claws.
"If you think it's too expensive, you don't have to come to me. I'd rather have an easy time." Lin Chen waved to Guilmon, causing Guilmon to shrink and follow him back to his room.
"Hey, you big devil, can you give me a discount? I really don't have much pocket money left!" Ai Tutu shouted from behind. "Or how about I pay on credit?"
"Fifty thousand at a time, fair dealing for all ages, no credit!" Lin Chen walked into the room without looking back.
……
A week later, Lin Chen came out of his room and found Mu Nujiao sitting on the sofa in the living room with a worried look on her face.
"What, you've run into flies again? Do you need me to step in?" Lin Chen joked.
"No, that's not true!" Ai Tutu retorted.
Just as Lin Chen was about to ask another question, the doorbell rang.
Lin Chen immediately got up and went to the door. He opened the door and found that the little girl Lingling was standing there.
"Lingling, what brings you here?" Lin Chen asked curiously.
"Just popped in out of boredom, aren't you welcome?" Lingling rolled her eyes at Lin Chen, walked past him, and headed inside. "No wonder you didn't go back to the hunting lodge, so you're keeping a mistress hidden away!"
Lin Chen was speechless for a moment.
"What do you mean by 'keeping a mistress in a golden house'? We're just roommates!" Ai Tutu had barely finished speaking when she realized the speaker was actually an adorable little girl. She immediately rushed over and hugged her tightly: "She's even cuter than me!"
"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Lin Chen sat back on the sofa and continued to ask.
Ai Tutu took Lingling's hand, led her to the sofa, grabbed a bag of snacks from the table and gave it to Lingling before explaining to Lin Chen.
"Sister Mu, I've reached a bottleneck in both of my elemental abilities and can't break through for the time being. I'm feeling really frustrated because my strength isn't improving."
"That's easy, just buy a spirit seed. Your big family isn't short of money." Lin Chen said indifferently.
"That's not entirely true. Although the family has abundant resources, contributions are still required. The more you contribute, the more resources you get. Otherwise, you'll owe the family too much, and you won't be able to control your own life in the future," Mu Nujiao explained.
"Yes, yes. Sister Mu's family is planning to provide her with a Nebula Magic Artifact next semester. If Sister Mu doesn't make any major contributions recently, the Spirit Seed won't be provided for the time being." Ai Tutu blurted out, which made Mu Nujiao glare at her.
"If the family won't provide it, let's find it ourselves! I happen to know information about a top-grade spirit seed!" Lingling's eyes lit up as she quickly urged.
"Where are the top-grade spirit seeds?" Ai Tutu's eyes gleamed.
"My senior brother found it while doing a mission in the wild. It wasn't fully formed yet, but judging from the fluctuations it emitted, it should be a top-grade spirit seed embryo. If we go now, it will be almost fully formed," Lingling said. "However, if you want to know the exact location, you'll have to take me with you."
"Great! Great! I've never been to the wilderness before!" Ai Tutu exclaimed excitedly.
"Wouldn't it be too dangerous to go into the wilderness?" Mu Nujiao frowned. Like Ai Tutu, she had never been to the wild before. "Besides, Lingling, you're so young, you probably haven't even awakened your magic yet, are you really going?"
"I'm a Hunter Master!" Lingling took her Hunter Master badge out of her pocket and placed it in front of Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu, startling them both.
"As for safety, you can just hire a hunter team. It'll probably cost between 50 and 100 million. You should be able to afford that, Sister Mu," Lingling said. Then she added, "It's best to hire a trustworthy hunter team, otherwise it'll be troublesome if they get bad ideas when they see the spirit seed."
Mu Nujiao pondered for a while and finally made up her mind: "I'll go! But I only have 60 left in my personal savings, and I don't know any hunter teams."
"If you're going, I'll handle the contact with the hunter team," Lin Chen said, taking the initiative to take over the task.
Mu Nujiao didn't have any familiar teams, but she had her own.
The Skyfire Squad is not only quite capable, but also has excellent character. It's safest to entrust this kind of security task to our own people.
After obtaining the specific location from Lingling, Lin Chen called Liu Lin and told her about the matter he needed to entrust and the price.
Liu Lin readily agreed and arranged to meet Lin Chen at a designated time and place.
