Chapter 23
Rich Woman Falls In Love With Me?!
Sensing that its status had been challenged, Blackie issued a duel invitation to Little Tanuki that concerned its dignity.
Then—
It realized that from now on, it had become a little brother and had lost its “status” in this family.
The aggrieved Blackie began to make a scene. Lin Ye had to spend a total of 50 bamboos to heal its glass heart.
As for Little Tanuki, it was like an elegant young lady. It would lick its fur in Lin Ye’s arms when it had nothing to do.
Lin Ye had to reward such a good child.
He bought a pill made of Requiem Grass!
The crystal core of a mental-type beast!
He also bought the spirit fruits specially provided by the system!
Of course, he did not treat Blackie badly.
Most of these credits were spent on the purchase of crystal cores.
After Lin Ye finished lunch, he spent all the more than 1 million credits he had earned, leaving only some for his living expenses.
It could not be helped.
He had to be wary of Wu Yan’s threat.
Although he had the bead Su Hongcheng had given him, it was better to rely on himself.
After becoming stronger, he could still last a little longer in front of Wu Yan… right?
However, what made Lin Ye feel strange was that ever since the mutated beasts invaded, Wu Yan had not come looking for him.
After slowly lowering his guard, Lin Ye returned to his previous idle life in the shop.
As for business?
He had yet to hear from Hong Zhijun and Yang Wei, the two guys who had said that they would come here to provide him business.
Therefore, the mission progress was still 0.
Fortunately, with Blackie and Little Tanuki around, it was not too boring.
They could relieve his boredom every day.
One afternoon, Lin Ye was still playing with Little Tanuki’s fluffy tail on the recliner as usual, looking sleepy.
Just as he was about to fall asleep, a crisp voice sounded at the door.
“Shop Owner Lin!
“Shop Owner Lin, are you there?”
He opened his eyes with difficulty and discovered that it was Bai Tao and Su Qingqing.
“Can I help you?”
Bai Tao looked at Lin Ye excitedly and pointed at Su Qingqing.
“Qingqing’s Little Flame has leveled up!”
Lin Ye looked at Su Qingqing in surprise.
“It’s already at level two? So fast?”
Although the quality of that little husky was not bad, it was still hard for Lin Ye to believe. Blackie was a gold grade beast that was born at high level one but had yet to level up. However, this dog had already leveled up?
Su Qingqing gently raised the Beast Taming Illustration on her left arm, and a husky that was half a size bigger than normal huskies appeared in the shop.
“Woof woof woof ~”
Hearing the cry, Blackie, who was dozing under the recliner, opened its small black eyes.
It thought that Lin Ye had gotten another pet.
“Hmm?”
Lin Ye rubbed this guy and explained, “This belongs to someone else.”
“Mm ~”
Bai Tao looked at Lin Ye and Blackie interacting and was extremely envious.
She looked pitifully at Lin Ye on the recliner.
“Shop Owner Lin, when can we draw a second one?
“My little beetle only knows how to fly and can’t interact with me!”
Lin Ye thought to himself, How would he know?
In any case, the system made the rules. Now, the rule was that each person could only have one.
Of course, he was an exception.
“Not yet. When you’re allowed to buy a second one, I’ll inform you.”
Bai Tao pursed her lips.
“Can’t you let me buy it if I pay more?”
“No.”
Bai Tao, who was completely helpless, directly stopped talking and turned her attention to Little Tanuki in Lin Ye’s arms.
She remembered that Shop Owner Lin did not have this silver fox previously.
It was so beautiful!
It must be very comfortable to stroke, right?!
Just as Bai Tao was envious, Su Qingqing revealed the reason why she was here.
“Shop Owner Lin, my father is looking for you this time.
“Originally, he was prepared to come personally, but he has something to do in the academy today and can’t leave for the time being.
“Therefore, I want to invite you to the academy.”
With that said, Su Qingqing even bowed solemnly to Lin Ye.
“Uh, did he specify why he was looking for me?”
Su Qingqing shook her head.
“No, but it should be related to the matter of tamed beasts.”
“Every time I see him these past few days, he’s been talking about this.”
Lin Ye did not expect this handsome old man Su Hongcheng to be so concerned about tamed beasts.
Could it be that he knew something?
However, that shouldn’t be the case. There were no tamed beasts in this world.
After the huge pollution more than a hundred years ago, the surviving animals either became bloodthirsty mutated beasts or remained the same.
There were no creatures with intelligence and extraordinary abilities like tamed beasts.
However, as a level 6 expert and the dean of the Mutant Academy in a human federal city, he should know a lot of secrets.
Perhaps there was really some hidden secret that was related to tamed beasts?
Thinking of this, Lin Ye simply nodded.
After all, they could be considered to know each other.
Putting everything else aside, the father and daughter had even provided him with business and had helped him make a million credits. On account of the other party being a big customer, he could also make a trip.
Nodding, Lin Ye stood up from the recliner.
“Alright, I’ll go then ~”
Su Qingqing was overjoyed and immediately bowed to thank Lin Ye.
“Thank you, Shop Owner Lin. Thank you so much!”
Bai Tao looked at Lin Ye suspiciously.
Why was this shop owner so easy to talk to again?
Could it be…
Without waiting for Bai Tao to continue suspecting, Lin Ye stood up and put Little Tanuki and Blackie into the Beast Taming Illustration.
After closing the door, the three of them arrived beside a red sports car parked by the roadside.
Looking at this sports car with only two seats, Lin Ye was awkward.
Su Qingqing also suddenly realized this, so she could only look apologetically at her “best friend”.
“Taozi, why don’t… you take a taxi?”
“Qingqing, you… you!”
“Then we’re here to invite Shop Owner Lin over. We can’t let him take a taxi by himself, right?”
“I!”
Bai Tao covered her furious chest and glared angrily at Lin Ye before picking up the communicator and starting to hail a taxi.
After looking at Lin Ye in embarrassment, Su Qingqing helped him open the car door.
Seeing how thoughtful the service was, Lin Ye felt a little comfortable. However, he also felt vigilant.
Although he was like the readers of this book, handsome and suave, it could not be that this rich girl, Su Qingqing, had taken a fancy to him, right?
This was still possible.
After giving up on the thought that this was actually very reasonable, Lin Ye could tell from Su Qingqing’s attitude that today’s matter was definitely not that simple.
However, he did not ask further.
In any case, if it was something he could not do, he could just reject it.
Lin Ye would not have any psychological burden.
Yes, it was indeed comfortable to sit in this luxury car.
If there was a chance, he would get one himself.
Thinking of this, Lin Ye asked, “Miss Su, how many credits did you buy this car for?”
“Oh, it’s not really that expensive—”
The corner of Lin Ye’s mouth began to curl up.
“I think it was 5 million credits ~”
Damn it!
