Chapter 310: Chapter 150 Bai Ci Has a Tough Destiny, His Horoscope Opposes the Gods_1

"Lin Baici got first place!"

Xia Hongyao boasted, "I’m telling you, he’s incredibly formidable—leading by a mile in every challenge. The others could only eat his dust as he completely dominated the field!"

"See? I have an eye for talent, don’t I? If you had agreed earlier to offer him an exemption spot, he would be part of my team by now!"

Speaking of this, Xia Hongyao was super frustrated.

"When the crazy maid lady went, were there any powerful God Hunters in the bar? Was Nangong Shu there?"

If we’re talking about regrets, yes, there were some.

"The boss lady was there, and two members from Lost Coast happened to come by, one of them a main player, but Lin Baici took them all out!"

Xia Hongyao pushed for Lin Baici’s reward: "I can vouch for him, so hurry up with the prize money, and as for Little Linzi’s mother, send some more people to protect her."

"Lost Coast? Did they come to Haijing for Lin Baici?"

Xia Hongmian took a sip of her coffee; if her suspicion was correct, Lin Baici must have some matters he’s hiding.

And these matters happened when he killed Black Shark Triton.

Looks like an investigation was in order!

"Big sis, show some sincerity and invite Lin Baici again."

Xia Hongyao urged.

"He’s so outstanding, do you think you’re qualified to be his team leader?"

Xia Hongmian knew exactly what her sister was worth. The dangers of exploring the Divine Ruins were far too great, which is why she always tried to subtly trip her up.

Why did Xia Hongyao become a team leader?

Because a leader could lead a team. Given Xia Hongyao’s personality, she definitely wouldn’t join another team as a member, but without a full team, she wouldn’t be able to enter the Divine Ruins either.

"I might be lacking a bit and not be worthy of Little Lin, but he definitely wouldn’t look down on me!"

Xia Hongyao’s tone was quite confident.

"..."

Xia Hongmian felt that if these two continued to interact, her sister might just come back one day heavily pregnant.

"That’s it. We’ll talk later. Send someone over quickly!"

Xia Hongyao hung up the phone.

Xia Hongmian, lost in thought while listening to the busy tone on the phone, found her interest in Lin Baici grow just a bit more.

...

The third branch of the Security Bureau’s special operations moved fast. They arrived at Dragon and Beauty Bar within a quarter of an hour after receiving the order.

All God Hunters contaminated by the rules were invited back to the Security Bureau Building for a brief investigation.

Lin Baici and Nangong Shu were exceptions; Xia Hongyao didn’t even have to vouch for them, clearly, Xia Hongmian had instructed the team leader personally.

The three left the bar and stepped onto the street.

In the game of Gods’ Fearing, survival took precedence over everything else, to the point of losing track of time. Once out, Lin Baici realized it was already evening.

Time had passed so quickly.

"Bai Ci, you can’t go back to school looking like that. Why not stay at my place for the night?"

Nangong Shu offered.

"Can I? I haven’t played with Dahuang in so long!"

Xia Hongyao looked longingly at the boss lady.

Dahuang was a German Shepherd, very intelligent.

"Remember to buy dog food for Dahuang!"

Having dealt with deceit and treachery, especially in the Divine Ruins, Nangong Shu found Xia Hongyao’s innocence quite endearing. Everyone’s heart there could be corrupted, after all.

"Of course!"

Xia Hongyao explained to Lin Baici: "Dahuang is super smart; he can do addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division within a hundred!"

"..."

Lin Baici was speechless. He hadn’t planned on going to Nangong Shu’s place, but now, with High Ponytail’s prodding, he couldn’t refuse.

"Hold on a moment!"

Nangong Shu went to the garage and drove out a Mercedes GLE. After picking up Lin Baici and the other, they headed towards Runjiang Garden in the western suburbs.

It was a luxury villa area.

Nangong Shu had several other properties in Haijing but mainly lived here for the peace and quiet.

An hour later, they reached the residential area.

Lin Baici took a look around. Even without any knowledge in real estate, he could tell the houses here were absolutely super expensive.

They probably cost upwards of a hundred million.

The Mercedes drove into the complex; the noisy streets and bustle seemed instantly cut off, quieting down immediately.

The villas, each isolated by maple trees and camphor, were full of privacy.

With an extremely low plot ratio, the neighborhood was expansive, but not densely populated, ensuring ample tranquility.

The asphalt roads were immaculately clean, and now and then, you could see large mushroom-shaped objects—those were cleverly disguised trash cans.

"How much do these houses cost?"

Lin Baici was curious, thinking that living here must be nice.

"I don’t know, when I bought it with renovations, it was 120 million!"

Nangong Shu had not paid attention to such matters.

"..."

Lin Baici, with 20 million in hand, felt quite wealthy, but now it seemed he had a long way to go.

"Do you like it?"

The boss lady chuckled, "I’ll give you a set!"

"Aunt Shu, don’t joke about this, I’ll take it seriously."

Lin Baici felt if he had faced this kind of wealthy woman right after graduating from high school, he would’ve been uncomfortable, not knowing what to say. But now, his strength had given him confidence.

As the saying goes, money is a man’s courage, and for a God Hunter, strength is the backbone.

"I’m not joking!"

Nangong Shu glanced at Lin Baici through the rearview mirror: "You’re just at a disadvantage because you’ve just started. Once you’ve explored a few more Divine Ruins and your fame soars, buying a house like this will be as commonplace as buying cabbage for you."

"When I offer one to you then, you won’t even care for it!"
