Chapter 1021: Chapter 479: Awesome, My God Lin!

"Mmm!"

Xia Hongyao knew that Lin Baici would certainly be able to deal with the rule contamination, so he focused his attention on observing the candidates.

Most were very nervous, but there were a few exceptions.

First were the dragon and phoenix twins, the handsome boy and pretty girl, who immediately caught High Ponytail’s attention.

They were searching in the second warehouse, their expressions calm, quietly conversing with each other from time to time; they looked quite dependable.

A tall young man with his jacket open was sitting outside, bored and smoking.

He noticed Xia Hongyao sizing him up and offered a cigarette pack: "Hua Zi, want one?"

"No way!"

Xia Hongyao shook his head.

"Smoking is good, it contributes tax to the country. When I smoke an extra pack, one more screw gets added to the aircraft carrier!"

The tall man sighed. He didn’t use his hands; instead, he clenched the cigarette in his mouth, took a deep drag, held his breath for five or six seconds, letting the smoke pass through his lungs, before finally exhaling.

He was probably showing off and blew five smoke rings in one go.

Xia Hongyao ignored the smoker and continued observing.

Fang Mingyuan, Little Linzi’s roommate, unexpectedly also came for the license exam, and seemed to have decent aptitudes because he didn’t have many scales growing on his body.

Nevertheless, he was still a bit panicked—even though he tried to appear calm, his wandering gaze betrayed him.

Next to him was a Little Fatty Sister, her pink tongue moving in and out, licking a lollipop.

Because she was wearing a thick down jacket and was short, she looked like a round ball.

"Isn’t she a bit too chubby?"

Xia Hongyao was astonished.

Generally speaking, once you’ve absorbed Divine Grace or a Meteorite, your body gets strengthened and with a bit of exercise, you could maintain a decent figure.

How greedy must you be to end up like Little Fatty Sister?

...

"What do you think the Taboo things might be?"

Hua Yue Yu asked softly.

"Things with scales!"

Gu Qingqiu rummaged through the junk. The chief examiner must know the list of Taboo things; calling him down would be the fastest solution, but the two main examiners didn’t do that; they clearly had their own thoughts.

That just made the candidates suffer the torment of itching.

"Doesn’t sucking on a lollipop make you feel much better?"

Little Fatty Sister boasted, "I’m telling you, sweets can improve your mood. Every time I have sweets, I feel like the happiest person in the world!"

"It’s just a pity there’s no ice cream!"

Long Miaomiao licked her tongue.

"I’ll treat you when we’re out!"

Fang Mingyuan had no romantic intentions toward Long Miaomiao; he couldn’t help it, she was too plump for his taste.

But if she slimmed down, her looks should be okay.

"Okay, okay!"

Long Miaomiao, too lazy to sift through the junk, nonchalantly kicked around with her foot.

Bang!

When she kicked over an old lamp, it toppled over, revealing a lizard specimen taped under the umbrella-shaped shade.

It was that type of dried animal corpse, treated and desiccated!

Part of it was decayed, leaving its ribcage fully exposed.

"Fang Mingyuan, do you think this could be one of the Taboo things?"

Long Miaomiao squatted down, grabbed an awl, and was about to poke at the mummy.

"Huh?"

Fang Mingyuan was clueless.

"I think it is!"

Long Miaomiao reasoned, "This is clearly a reptile with scales!"

"Right, right!"

Fang Mingyuan thought her reasoning was sound; he quickly stopped Little Fatty Sister.

"Don’t touch it, it’s dangerous!"

Fang Mingyuan, knowing nothing himself, intended to call Lin Baici for help, but he was also worried that other examiners might find the item.

In Fang Mingyuan’s view, if Lin Baici could deal with the Taboo things and stand out, he’d surely receive a reward from the Safety Bureau.

Such a good opportunity should be left for his roommate.

So, after hesitating, Fang Mingyuan grabbed the base of the lamp, picked it up, and hurriedly ran towards Lin Baici.

"Examiner Lin, look at this!"

Fang Mingyuan’s shout immediately drew everyone’s attention.

Deng Mingyu looked over, and her eyes lit up instantly.

Yes,

It was that thing!

Deng Mingyu hurried over.

"Put that down, do you have a death wish?"

Lin Baici was tense. Regardless of whether that thing was the main culprit, ordinary people shouldn’t touch it.

[You can’t destroy it with force, or you’ll grow scales all over your body.]

[Freeze at low temperature, and it will purify the rule contamination.]

"What’s up? Found something?"

Hearing the commotion, everyone gathered around.

Lin Baici had just caught the lamp when Deng Mingyu rushed over and grabbed onto it as well.

"Give it to me!"

Deng Mingyu spoke authoritatively.

But Lin Baici didn’t let go.

"What’s the meaning of this? Worried that I’ll steal your thunder?"

Deng Mingyu sneered, mocking Lin Baici, "Don’t worry, what’s yours is yours; I wouldn’t stoop to that!"

"It’s not about the credit; I just want to ask, what do you plan to do?"

Lin Baici held on.

"Of course, seal it with the Black Coffin and report to Captain Pan; he should know how to purify these Taboo things!"

Deng Mingyu explained.

Sometimes, brute force disassembly doesn’t work and can lead to even more terrible contamination.

"Then forget it, just give it to me!"

Lin Baici pouted.

"What do you mean?"

Deng Mingyu frowned, staring at Lin Baici, "Do you mean to say you know how to purify it?"

"Yes!"

Lin Baici tugged the lamp forcefully.

This time, Deng Mingyu felt embarrassed to hold on any longer, and his face was full of doubt and disbelief.

Bluffing, right?

You just saw this thing and you know how to purify it?

You can’t possibly have the Divine Grace of foresight, right?
