Chapter 948: Chapter 946: The Merchant Who Hunts Time

Sally asked Xiaomei, "Can you track him through the Partner Mark?"

Xiaomei replied, "Yes, Host. Mode 003 tracking can trace any real existence related to the Host."

"Track Frans," Sally instructed 003.

"Yes, Host," 003 responded.

Immediately, Sally disappeared from the Rose Garden.

After Sally vanished, Pulan came over. Looking at the abandoned Rose Garden, he commanded the Gardener to restore it to its original state.

In a cold, gray and dim street corner, a very young man, wearing an ill-fitting, dirty, and torn suit, chewed on a half-cooked sweet potato he held in his hand.

His cheeks were bulging, but because he was really delicate and beautiful, especially with a red mole near his eye, his disheveled appearance added a touch of sadness, invoking pity and sympathy.

Suddenly, it began to rain, mixed with hail, painfully hitting people.

He looked up at the sky, and just as a piece of hail hit near his mouth, he deftly caught it and popped it into his mouth.

Crunching the ice, he swallowed it along with the sweet potato.

Sally stood not far away, looking at the young man with compassion. It was Frans!

"Xiaomei, what is Frans doing? Undergoing Tribulation?"

"Xiaomei doesn’t know, Host could investigate starting from this world."

"What world is this?"

"Leaking Pot World. In the river of time, countless worlds are born or vanish. But some fragmented civilizations in the river of time undergo mutations, creating voids in time, also called Leaking Pot Worlds. There are Time Merchants who hunt these voids in time and sell them to worlds about to be destroyed, for a very high price!"

"The world’s time can be bought and sold?" Sally had truly never considered this.

Xiaomei replied, "The greater the benefit, the greater the risk. Time Merchants often disappear into time."

Sally looked around at the environment, "So in this Leaking Pot World, are there also Time Merchants?"

Xiaomei said, "Perhaps Frans is one of them."

Sally was astonished, "He is a Time Merchant? That’s impossible!"

Xiaomei replied, "Host could observe for a while, but such voids in time can only be used in worlds about to be destroyed."

"Then Frans is even less likely to be one, he never left Beast World... Oh!" Sally was contradicting herself; Frans was indeed now in Leaking Pot World.

Could it be that Frans had sides to him she didn’t know about?

Sally watched Frans walk down the street and finally enter a bar. The light at the bar’s entrance flickered as if the electrical contact was poor. There was also a sign hiring a bartender.

Sally transformed into her Beast Body, her stomach swelling, making it difficult to run, so she asked Xiaomei for Xiaoqi’s little skateboard.

Standing on it, she found it convenient whether running or teleporting.

She glided into the bar.

Perhaps because of the rain, even though it was daytime, there were many people inside, men and women mingling in the smell of alcohol.

Sally immediately spotted Frans, his striking appearance standing out, with many eyes on him, conveying intentions of mischief and malice.

The bar owner handed him a cocktail shaker and several cheap liquors to freely concoct a drink.

Frans first washed his hands, and then skillfully picked up the shaker, beginning to craft a cocktail... soon, a dreamlike red-orange drink was prepared.

The bar owner tasted it and immediately nodded, "Trial period three days, fifty copper coins per day, a hundred after being confirmed. If you agree, go to the back, wash up, and change into the work clothes."

"No problem!" Frans agreed.

Sally followed Frans into the employees’ area at the back of the bar, and under the guidance of a veteran employee, washed up and changed clothes.

His already stunningly handsome face became even more irresistibly beautiful, enough to make anyone dazzle momentarily.

The veteran employee joked, "Frans, you won’t be able to stay here long."

"Why?" Frans asked.

"Because you don’t look like you belong here." The old employee turned and walked away.

Frans threw the clothes he had arrived in into the garbage can and went to work at the front.

Sally had been following him.

Frans was extremely popular, especially the drinks he mixed, which were best-sellers.

After a hectic day, when the bar closed, he began to clean.

He worked as if he did it often... in fact, Sally had never seen such a thing. In the Royal Palace, there were Palace Attendants, and if you really had to do it yourself, you could easily use the "Innate Secret Technique."

Sally realized a problem, "Xiaomei, can’t we use Talents here?"

Xiaomei replied, "Yes, Host, but System Power can be used."

"How does the Time Merchant hunt these void times?" Sally asked, "Frans can’t even use his Talent, much less hunt, right?"

"Void time has something like a seed core. If you crack open the outer shell and crush the seed inside, the void time turns into a timeline. That’s the segment the Time Merchants hunt."

"Can you find the Time Seed Core?"

"Xiaomei hasn’t scanned it yet."

"Hmm, no rush. Let’s see what Frans is up to first." Could he really be some kind of Time Merchant?

The bar owner gave Frans fifty copper coins, plus thirty copper coins as a commission for bartending, and allowed him to stay temporarily in the staff resting room, though it was best to find a house quickly.

The houses around the bar were not expensive; renting a single room cost about one hundred copper coins a month, exactly his two days’ wages. He should be able to afford it.

After thanking the owner, Frans rested in the resting room.

For the next week, he worked at the bar, looked for a house... continued working until he found a place and moved in.

Sally also followed him into the rental.

The dirty and messy environment... really made it hard for her to stay.

After Frans cleaned up, he bought some simple daily necessities, as well as a bag of pet food!

He poured the pet food into a free food bowl and then looked towards the door corner, "Come out."

Sally was at the door corner!

"White mouse, you’ve been following me for several days now," Frans said.

Sally: "..."

She put away her small skateboard, came out from the door corner, her belly round, clearly pregnant.

"Don’t you remember me?" Sally asked.

And he called her a white mouse!

Frans, seeing her speak human language, was very surprised, "Do we know each other?"

Sally squinted at him, "I am your wife."

Frans burst into laughter, "...even if I’m short of a girlfriend, I wouldn’t go for a pregnant mouse!"

And he pushed the bowl of food towards Sally, "Eat up."

Sally looked and showed no interest in the pet food.

She wasn’t really a pet.

"Your name is Frans Saint," Sally replied.

Frans was even more surprised, "How do you know that? I’ve never told anyone my surname. Did I talk in my sleep?"

"You’re a Time Hunter!" Sally added. In truth, she wasn’t sure; she was just guessing.

However, to her surprise, that statement instantly changed Frans’s expression!

His eyes, dangerous and filled with a killing intent, stared fixedly at Sally...
