Chapter 1549: Chapter 661: Would you like Teacher Ji to give you a secret lesson?

"Wait for him to come to us, then capture him!"

God Hunters possess an overwhelming advantage over ordinary people, able to control or kill them without a trace, so the Nine States Security Bureau strictly prohibits God Hunters from attacking ordinary people.

Incidents like this, using taboo things to manipulate and seize others’ property, are the most typical cases. Once discovered by the Security Bureau, they will immediately conduct a thorough investigation.

"Could it be dangerous?"

Hua Yue Yu worriedly said, "Uh, I’m not doubting your ability to handle it, I mean, why don’t we gang up on him?"

Lin Baici, being a member of the Nine Provinces Dragon Wing, has the right to mobilize a team of God Hunters for assistance.

"Haha, any God Hunter with a bit of class wouldn’t use such means to take others’ things."

Lin Baici scoffed, "So it must be just a small fry!"

After chatting with Hua Yue Yu, Lin Baici took a shower, then played on his phone.

He just logged onto the Origin Forum and noticed there was a red ’9’ on the mailbox icon at the top right corner.

He opened it to read.

One was a forum announcement, warning everyone not to spread rumors or post unverified news. Once verified, accounts would be banned.

The remaining 8 messages were sent by someone praising the sun, seeking help from Lin Baici and asking about the symbols represented by the text.

The sender suggested a private transaction, promising Lin Baici lucrative rewards.

Decrypting one pattern would earn him a thousand Meteorite Coins.

Honestly, compared to the previous offer of ten thousand yuan for a single character, this price was exorbitant. If Lin Baici was just starting out, he would’ve agreed immediately, but now, he didn’t lack money and felt that answering too many might bring trouble.

So Lin Baici chose to ignore it.

...

Haijing Normal University, office.

Professor Tan Zengshan looked at his phone, feeling annoyed.

Did that guy with the ID ’Raw Eater’ die?

Why is he neither answering questions nor replying to private messages?

What does he want, exactly? Give a clear message!

Professor Tan’s research had been stalled for several years. Last summer, just after the semester started, he posted a help request on the Origin Forum, which was answered by a God Hunter named ’Raw Eater.’

After verification, Professor Tan found the answers correct and continued to post new help requests intermittently.

But for the latest one, after several months, there was no response from the other side.

This halted Professor Tan’s research, which had just seen some glimmers of hope.

It’s really frustrating!

Professor Tan thought for a while and sent ’Raw Eater’ another private message, raising the price to three thousand Meteorite Coins for interpreting a single pattern.

Going any higher wasn’t something Professor Tan couldn’t afford, but he worried about scaring the person off.

Generally speaking, the price determines how precious something is.

Three thousand Meteorite Coins for interpreting one pattern, if you swap it for a single character, who wouldn’t have a flutter in their heart seeing such an amount?

Anyone with a bit of intelligence would ask themselves,

Can I handle such a hefty sum?

After sending the private message, Professor Tan reviewed the previous posts by ’Raw Eater.’

Tsk!

This guy is very cautious; he posted very few messages, and none of them contained extra information that could lead to identifying him. Trying to find the real person through these posts is hardly possible.

Of course, among the people Professor Tan knows, there’s an expert capable of unearthing this ’Raw Eater,’ but it would cause a big stir.

That’s something Professor Tan doesn’t wish to see.

He checked the time, and it was time for class.

Professor Tan picked up his books and headed to the teaching building. Halfway there, his phone rang.

He glanced at it, and there were four characters: Lagrange.

He swiped to answer.

"Zengshan, next month, the Lemin Foundation is holding an auction in Haijing. Do you have the time? If so, go take a look!"

A voice as old as stone came through the handset, giving the impression of someone at death’s door.

"After all, Haijing is your territory!"

The elderly man, code-named Lagrange, made a joke.

"Haijing is full of odd creatures, not to mention seasoned experts like Xia Hongmian; recently, there has emerged a Haijing god of forest, a literary God hiding somewhere unknown."

Tan Zengshan sighed, "I suggest you pick another city!"

"If any of these people cause trouble, let me put it straight, I can’t handle it!"

Lagrange laughed, "Enough if you can shift your focus from your research!"

"It’s settled then!"

Before Tan Zengshan could decline, the call was ended.

Sigh!

So frustrating!

Tan Zengshan walked into the teaching building, just in time to encounter one of his students from the Chinese department coming out.

"Professor Tan!"

Jiang Yitong greeted him warmly.

"Got something on your mind?"

Tan Zengshan noticed Jiang Yitong looked worried.

This student was pretty, sensible, and had good grades; Tan Zengshan remembered her well.

"No!"

Jiang Yitong shook her head, "Thank you for your concern, Professor!"

"Life is a series of troubles; when you encounter them, take the initiative to solve them. Worrying and fretting won’t help!"

Tan Zengshan offered some advice.

"I’ll remember that,"

Jiang Yitong nodded.

In reality, she did have concerns. Her mom was going to Lin Baici’s house to work as a housemaid the next day.

She was really worried that guy might say something like, ’You don’t want people at school to know your daughter is pretending to be a rich second generation, right?’ What if her mom was coerced by him?

These past few days, Jiang Yitong had observed her mom closely. If she properly dressed up, she was still a charming middle-aged lady.

If Lin Baici was fond of that type, then her mom would surely be walking right into the lion’s den.

Jiang Yitong thought about coming clean, but the thought of the scene made her cringe, and her mom would surely be deeply disappointed in her.
