“That’s your business. Oh right, if you need to sell any of the equipment, come to me. I’ll definitely pay you a good price. We’re on the same side,” Jin Tailang reminded.

Lin Bai was overjoyed and quickly sent a friend request.

Jin Tailang approved the request in seconds and waved his hand elegantly. “You don’t have to give me the money. I have it here. You can come and take it. We’ll talk about it later.”

At the same time, he sent a voice message to the little devil, “Lin Bai has a childhood sweetheart. You’re under a lot of pressure.”

Lin Bai had no idea. With 15 million in his pocket, he really didn’t know what to do.

Even when he was at his richest, he wasn’t this generous.

‘By the way, I should also buy some skill books for warriors. I can’t keep using the beastmaster class when I encounter dungeons.’ At that thought, Lin Bai quickly ran to the auction house.

The auction house was still packed with people. Lin Bai walked around but didn’t see anything worth selling.

On the contrary, Lin Bai managed to get a few valuable items from some street stalls.

[Elf-Made Soft Armor (blue-tier): Exclusively for alchemists, strength +25, intelligence +50, spirit +25]

[Large Crystal Fragment (blue-tier): Alchemy materials]

[Large Health Potion (green-tier): Recovers 15 HP every second]

..

As he strolled around, the school belle team finally finished the dungeon, and a group of beautiful girls with fairy-like looks but a sorry temperament ran over.

Lin Bai hurriedly walked to a secluded area, and then he was almost eaten.

After the four skill books were traded, his savings increased from 15 million to 35 million, which was a good thing.

But you can’t covet my innocence!

“Xiao Bai, you can take care of me. I’ll warm your bed!”

“Next time, remember to bring along a beastmaster skill book as a betrothal gift. I’ll bring along more than two warrior skill books as dowry.”

Even the usually composed Shangguan Mengchen’s eyes seemed to be tearing up as she chuckled, “Lin Bai, now that you have money, you have to remember to buy a big house. We have a lot of people.”

Lin Bai had never seen such a scene before. He hurriedly crushed the return ticket he had just bought and fled.

The girls huddled together.

However, Jin Meng suddenly received a private message. Her expression changed when she saw it.

“Stop fooling around. My Second Brother just reminded me that the authorities have already started investigating his business. They are investigating the mysterious beastmaster and the warrior.” Jin Meng reported, “And the scope of their investigation has now expanded to A-rank talents.”

“I thought about it too.” Zhang Yunqian muttered to herself for a moment, her phoenix eyes flickering. “Didn’t you notice? Lin Bai’s equipment is the Eagle Eye Set. Where did he get the money to buy it? He can only forge it himself. The Eagle Eye Set usually only drops in high-level dungeons. Lin Bai can’t get it from high-level dungeons.”

“There is only one explanation for that. Lin Bai has hidden too much of his strength.”

“Also, my Second Brother reminded me,” Jin Meng blushed, “That Lin Bai has a childhood friend who is an alchemist.”

“That’s right. I know that girl. Su Ling’er. I know that she’s an alchemist, but I also know that she had the talent to become a warrior before her job change. If she could become a warrior, she wouldn’t be any weaker than Hu Bingbing,” said Shangguan Mengchen.

Now, the girls didn’t know how to remind Lin Bai that he had already exposed too many of his traces.

“At the very least, that’s what we think. Lin Bai is most likely the warrior, and Su Ling’er is the most likely candidate for the alchemist. As long as we can confirm Su Ling’er’s identity, Lin Bai will be exposed.” Hu Bingbing suggested, “Let’s do as you say. For Lin Bai’s safety, and for Azure City!”

It just so happened that Shangguan Mengchen had a ‘good friend’ status with Su Ling’er.

[Have you cleared the dungeon?] she tried to send a message.

Su Ling ‘er instantly replied, [I’m trying to play SS mode.]

Alright, there was no need to ask anymore.

“Keep it a secret, don’t expose it for the time being,” Shangguan Mengchen gritted her teeth, “We’ll talk to Lin Bai after today’s hype dies down. He’s not an opinionated person.”

Lin Bai knew nothing about this. He was shopping at street stalls and bought a lot of necessary materials for alchemists, as well as a warrior-exclusive skill book for himself.

[Herculean King Kong (blue-tier): Exclusive to warriors, causes 5 seconds of stun to enemies within a 10 x 10m2 area, with an additional 25% physical damage. Upgradable.]

The blue-tier skill book had cost Lin Bai 2 million gold coins, but it was worth it.

It could be leveled up, which was not much different from the purple-tier, but it required a large number of free skill points as a base.

Lin Bai didn’t think that he would be short of skill points in the future.

With this skill, Lin Bai was confident that he could clear dungeons as a warrior, even SSS dungeons.

At this moment, a deep voice suddenly rang out in Azure City.

[Regional announcement: Azure City’s powerhouses have activated an SSS rating. For this, the city will hold a dungeon challenge competition for a week. Everyone in Azure City can record the instance in real-time. We will organize the ten most powerful guilds in the city to analyze all the videos and finally choose seven players who perform the best in any novice instance dungeon SS and above. The players who appear in the video will be rewarded.]

[Regional announcement: The rewards are divided into three levels. First prize: 3 purple-tier skill books, 3 free skill points, and a full set of purple equipment. The two second prize winners are given two purple-tier skill books and 2 free skill points. Third place, 1 purple-tier skill book, 1 free skill point.]

[Regional announcement: In the reward, if the main force is a beastmaster, warrior, or alchemist, the reward will be doubled regardless of talent level!]

Lin Bai blinked. ‘They’re coming for me.’

But wasn’t this too blatant?

What was this?

Soon after, a large number of guild announcements were made.

[The Round Table Guild: We are a well-known guild in Europe. As everyone knows, if the three masters who have activated the SSS rating are willing to join us, we are willing to provide a daily salary of no less than 100,000 euros, and retain the ownership of all the rewards for clearing the dungeon.]

[Sakura Guild: Let’s cut the crap. We’re an established guild on the eastern island. As long as these three experts are willing to join the guild, you can choose the position of vice president, a luxurious villa, and a professional service team.]

[Red Alliance Guild: The conditions aren’t good, but there’s only one. Kill those eastern island b*stards. If you dare to kill them, we’ll provide you with all the help you can!]

The f*ck?

The most ruthless one had appeared.

[Turkey Union Alliance: We don’t need to be introduced. If these three experts join us, not only will they get the green card immediately, but we can also provide professional security teams for free and 24-hour protection. Of course, it’s fine if you don’t want to join us. We won’t force you. Everyone is free.]

Yes, you wouldn’t force it, but you would send people to assassinate them!

This time, Azure City was really in an uproar.

Since when did the small Azure City attract the attention of the world?
