Acquaintance, Information about the Spirit Seed

Chapter 42 Acquaintance, Information about the Spirit Seed

The Cold Hunter King, devoid of any fatherly authority, was kind and patient, answering Lingling's questions with gentleness and patience.

"Hey Lingling, I'll give you a question and see if you can answer it!" Cold Hunter King suggested.

"good!"

Does the Bone-Spiked Wolf possess mental attack methods? If so, what are they?

"Bone-Spiked Wolf?" Lingling was speechless. Of course, it was familiar with this kind of demon, one of the most common types of demons in the southern mountains.

I've never heard of it having any mental attack methods!

Ling Tianyu did know the answer, but the question wasn't directed at him.

Cold Hunter noticed Ling Tianyu's expression, glanced at him with interest, and said, "Young man, do you know the answer?"

"?" Caught off guard by the Hunter King's mention of him, Ling Tianyu was somewhat puzzled, but still answered truthfully, "I do know. The Bone Spike Wolf, also known as the Three-Eyed Demon Wolf, has a third eye on its forehead called the Eye of Fear. It can exert a special pressure on novice mages, disrupting star trail connections. Normally, novice mages can't cast a single spell in its presence!"

"That's right!" Cold Hunter King's face showed approval, affirming Ling Tianyu's answer. This kind of knowledge cannot be learned from textbooks; only experienced hunters would understand it.

"Young man, you're pretty good!"

"Ah! So that's how it is!" Lingling scratched her hair in frustration, and said defiantly, "No, let's try again!"

It must be said that Cold Hunter King truly lives up to his reputation as a Hunter King; the questions he raises are extremely tricky and bizarre, with many involving knowledge that would only be taught in university courses on demons.

With such an intense learning level, it's no wonder that Lingling's intelligence is unmatched.

But who is Ling Tianyu?

The top scorer in Bocheng's middle school entrance exam, a genius with an IQ of 250... uh, no, no...

In any case, Ling Tianyu knows things that even some professors might not know, let alone university knowledge.

This is the benefit of being reborn.

However, Lingling, as one of the most intelligent characters in the original work, is not without reason, and can answer about half of the questions.

This is already very impressive. If it were Mu Bai, he would be considered to have performed exceptionally well if he could answer a quarter of the questions correctly.

"Young man, are you a monster?!" Cold Hunter King made no attempt to hide his shock.

Ling Tianyu could answer almost any question. Only the really obscure ones were beyond his ability to answer, but he could still guess the answer fairly accurately.

Lingling was clearly somewhat discouraged; her pride in her intelligence was utterly insignificant in front of Ling Tianyu.

After a while, Ling Tianyu also became familiar with the father and daughter in front of him.

"Young man, you're not from Shanghai, are you?" Cold Hunter asked.

"That's right, I'm a student at Bocheng High School," Ling Tianyu replied.

"Then what are you doing in Shanghai?" Cold Hunter asked curiously.

"I'd like to buy a plant-type spirit seed. Do you have any information?" Ling Tianyu felt that the Hunter King's sources of information were much more reliable than his own.

"A plant-type spirit seed? You've reached the intermediate level with your plant-type spirit seed?" Lingling said in surprise.

"A plant-type spirit seed..." Cold Hunter King thought in surprise, reminding him, "This thing isn't cheap."

"I know, money is not a problem!" Ling Tianyu said confidently, the five servant essences in his pocket plus a warrior essence worth as much as a spirit seed gave him the confidence to say this.

"Since you put it that way, I heard that the Zhao Family Auction House in Shanghai is auctioning a plant-type spirit seed. The results should be quite good," said Cold Hunter King.

"But everyone who can get into that place is either very rich or very powerful. Do you have any special status?"

"Uh... is [Elite Hunter] enough?"

"You... an elite hunter!" Lingling exclaimed in shock. A high school student is already an elite hunter. In Shanghai, even a college freshman with the title of "intermediate hunter" is considered extremely outstanding. Being an elite hunter is something they wouldn't even dare to dream of.

"Good lad! So young and already an elite hunter!" Cold Hunter King looked surprised, then, as if remembering something, shook his head regretfully. "Unfortunately, not enough. That auction house requires at least a [Hunter Master] level to enter." (Original setting)

"Huh?" [Elite Hunter] is the ceiling for ordinary mid-level hunters in Shanghai. How could he not even be able to get into an auction house?

As expected, there's no way out for ordinary people!

If he were to reach the rank of [Hunter Master], would he still be lacking that mere spirit seed?

"However, there are other ways. You can buy a membership at the auction house to enter. But the price can't be less than this amount..." Cold Hunter King said, raising a hand.

"Five hundred thousand?"

"Five million!"

…………

So, the price of a slave's essence is all it takes to get an admission ticket to the auction house?

"Okay, thanks, sir!"

"My surname is Leng, you can just call me Uncle Leng! Next to me is my daughter, Leng Lingling!"

"Uncle Leng, my name is Yutian." Ling Tianyu also introduced himself.

"Yutian, what a strange name?" Lingling muttered to herself, secretly deciding to hack into the Bocheng network later to see if this person existed.

For the rest of the time, Lingling's competitive spirit kicked in, and she kept pestering Ling Tianyu with questions. Even when they got off the bus, she was still a little reluctant to leave.

"Great, let's exchange contact information!" Lingling was satisfied. This trip had been worthwhile because she had met a worthy opponent!

…………

It was already evening when Ling Tianyu and the others parted ways with the Cold Hunter King and his daughter, and the setting sun cast its last rays.

Shanghai truly lives up to its reputation as a top metropolis in the country, dazzling and radiant. Cars powered by lightning energy come and go on the streets, while in the distance, many people stroll and wander along the commercial streets, creating a peaceful and serene scene.

Ling Tianyu knew perfectly well how many dangers were hidden in this seemingly dazzling city: vampires, the Black Vatican... the dark forces were deeply entrenched and closely related to the interests of the higher-ups, so even the Inquisition could only turn a blind eye.

Is there really such a thing as absolute black and white in this world?

Given his current strength, daring to go deeper would be suicidal.

Based on the location of the auction house previously provided by Cold Hunter King, Ling Tianyu found a nearby hotel to stay in.

"The cost of living in Shanghai is really high, it's no joke. Just one night's stay costs three thousand yuan!" Ling Tianyu said, feeling a pang of heartache.

Of course, this is also related to the hotel's location, as it is in the city center.

"Alright! Let's go out and have a look around!" There was still some time before the auction started, and Ling Tianyu had nothing to do, so he decided to take a look at the local customs and culture of Shanghai and have dinner while he was at it.
