Chapter 229: Chapter 123 The First Appearance of the God, Girls’ Dormitory Night Talks [Subscription Request, Monthly Ticket Request]_1

The light from the street lamps was dim, and moths fluttered towards them.

This was the second time Xia Hongmian had seen Lin Baici.

He had just gone through a game with a pollution intensity of 5.0, yet he looked as relaxed as if he had been out on a field trip.

Only the sweat on his body, stained with the fishy smell of blood and the scent of wild dogs, made him appear somewhat ragged.

"Sister, let me tell you, Little Lin... um, Lin Baici was super impressive this time. He convinced those people to unite like strands into a rope, and his keen judgement in picking out the most suitable people to catch frisbees was spot on!"

Standing beside Xia Hongmian, Xia Hongyao chattered incessantly, praising Lin Baici’s achievements: "The last challenge, finding dog food against the clock, was so showy it made my scalp tingle!"

"I think we should call him Bai Ci‧Holmes‧Lin from now on!"

To High Ponytail, the second round of dog fighting was the simplest, hardly worth mentioning.

"I’ve got it."

Xia Hongmian looked at Lin Baici: "Thank you!"

"???"

Lin Baici didn’t quite understand, was she thanking him for helping Xia Hongyao, or for timely purifying the rule pollution?

Xia Hongmian clearly had no intention of explaining, and got straight to the point: "How are you considering it?"

"I’m still thinking about it!"

Lin Baici spoke honestly.

"Is it the fear of being constrained, or are the terms I’ve offered not good enough?"

Turning her head, Xia Hongmian looked towards the neighboring residential area.

"Both!"

Lin Baici candidly admitted, knowing that Xia Hongmian wasn’t like High Ponytail, who would believe anything anyone said; if he tried to argue, she would see through him.

Today, Xia Hongmian was still dressed in black trousers, a white shirt, and a dark red tie without any patterns.

That red, under the illumination of the moon and street lights, seemed somewhat enchanting, as if stained with the blood of some creature.

Her features, too, were somehow less discernible at night, except for her bright eyes.

Instinctively, Lin Baici took a sniff, and then he felt a slight nervousness, like when one is visiting the zoo to see lions and suddenly realizes that the cage is open.

Unlike the fresh scent of shower gel on Xia Hongyao’s body, there seemed to be the odour of a top predator coming from Xia Hongmian.

Lin Baici felt as if there was a Tyrannosaurus stuffed inside Xia Hongmian’s body, and all of Haijing was her hunting ground.

[Eat her!]

[Eat her!]

[Eat her!]

The Eater God began to nag again.

"I understand, no one likes to be constrained, and no one likes to receive meager rewards after hard work!"

Xia Hongmian’s voice was serene yet ice-cold: "Swallowing three thousand weak water in one gulp, what an exhilarating thing to do!"

"Actually, when it comes down to it, I think the most important thing is happiness; wealth and profits can’t match up to simply feeling happy."

Due to Lin Baici’s poor family background, seeing hundreds of thousands of yuan suddenly come into his possession at eighteen years old, he felt excited as it seemed like a large sum.

Now?

Lin Baici was very calm now, did over ten million yuan lying in his bank account make him feel superior?

Even with several Taboo things in his possession, he wasn’t proud, was he?

He had become a God Hunter less than two months ago, and his net worth was already substantial. Wouldn’t achieving a small goal in two or three years be a breeze?

As the saying goes, one cannot buy willingness even with a thousand gold!

What Lin Baici now desired more was to explore God’s ruins with a bunch of compatible, trustworthy friends.

Like Xia Hongyao, although she had an intelligence of D, her Force Speed was Double A, and she was daring in a fight, loyal, and as strong as a bear. Exploring God’s ruins with her made Lin Baici feel truly happy.

"Happy?"

Xia Hongmian laughed lightly, truly a young person.

Learning to bear and shoulder responsibility is the mark of a man coming of age. However, Xia Hongmian didn’t plan to discuss this with Lin Baici; he was still young and needed to see more of the world.

"It’s okay, I’ll wait for you!"

After saying this, Xia Hongmian walked towards the apartment building; she was going to inspect the site.

"Sister... Director Xia, please ensure the bonus for purifying the rule pollution is paid out promptly."

Xia Hongyao didn’t care about money, she was asking on behalf of Lin Baici.

"How much is the bonus?"

Lin Baici was interested in this topic.

"It’s determined based on the level of disaster."

Xia Hongyao smiled: "Anyway, it’s definitely in the hundreds of thousands!"

"That’s not bad."

Lin Baici smiled slightly.

Lately, he’d been making crazy money, and now with hundreds of thousands more coming in, how on earth was he supposed to spend it all?

Lin Baici casually reached for his phone to check the time, but his expression darkened.

Oh my god!

My phone is broken again.

Lately, are my mobile phones and I sworn enemies?

Seems like I need to keep scouring the Origin Forum’s help section for a bargain.

Speaking of which, once this bonus comes through, I should have the means to consider buying a house in Haijing, choose one that I like.

Mom would be happy to hear that, right?

Sigh!

It’s just that I can’t tell her where the money’s coming from.

Xia Hongyao watched Lin Baici, wanting to persuade him to join the Security Bureau, but after opening her mouth, she decided against it.

Forget it!

I’ll respect Little Linzi’s wishes!

However, when he explores God’s ruins, I must find a way to accompany him.

If it were a regular person encountering rule pollution and surviving, they would be taken to the Security Bureau Building for routine questioning, decontamination processes, and to sign the relevant confidentiality agreements.

Thanks to Xia Hongyao’s relationship and being valued by Xia Hongmian, Lin Baici didn’t need to go through that process; he only needed to submit a report and didn’t even have to visit the Security Bureau Building himself.

"You don’t look fit to return to school in your current state, why don’t you come to my place tonight?"
