“You? You’re actually still alive?”
The first person to speak was not someone from the Demon Hunter squad, but Li Mengxi.
Lin Zhen’s sudden appearance made her feel as if a bottle with mixed emotions had been overturned in her heart. She had already planned to say goodbye to the past, so why did Lin Zhen appear at this moment?
Lin Zhen glanced at Li Mengxi and saw her holding hands with Zhou Tie. He was stunned for a moment, and then a difficult-to-understand smile appeared on his face: “Congratulations, Sister Mengxi, you’ve finally found someone suitable for you.”
“Ah! 1… . ‘ Li Mengxi hurriedly withdrew her hand from Zhou Tie’s grasp, causing Zhou Tie’s face to darken.
Li Mengxi’s mind was in turmoil; she didn’t know what she was thinking at the moment.
At this time, the people from the Demon Hunter squad finally reacted and immediately surrounded Lin Zhen.
Zhao Liang was the first to speak: “Lin Zhen, why did you just come out now? Are you injured?”
Shi Lei said, “As long as you’re out and okay, that’s good.”
Gao Yan patted Lin Zhen’s shoulder: “Being able to come out at the last second shows that you little guy hasn’t forgotten your responsibilities. No matter what the outcome is, just do your best.”
Ye Tiancheng rolled his eyes: ‘Why say so much? Count the battle rewards and give them to the military personnel. Then let’s find a way to raise money. After this, I’m afraid the Demon Hunters will be greatly damaged. I suggest we stay around Base City and clean up small monsters in the future. At least it’s safe and can provide some stable income.”
Lin Zhen was stunned: “Raise money? What for?”
“You tell me!”
Zhou Tie, who was standing next to them, roared, startling everyone.
Zhou Tie’s face turned pale: “Lin Zhen, don’t play dumb with me. You know about the billion-dollar bet between our two squads, right? Your squad still has 5200 points short of the standard. Can you come up with 5200 points in battle rewards? If not, you’ll have to pay up! One billion, and not a penny less. I’m still waiting to buy the Ocean’s Star for my Mengxi baby!”
With that, he dominantly pulled Li Mengxi into his arms and held her tightly.
Li Mengxi struggled a bit, but couldn’t resist Zhou Tie’s strength. She lowered her head and avoided looking at Lin Zhen, her long hair covering her face, making it impossible to see her expression.
Lin Zhen didn’t even look at Li Mengxi, turning his head to Shi Lei and the others: “We have a total of 14,800 points?”
“Sigh! Yes, we got harassed by them repeatedly in the testing area. We missed out on several high-level monsters. We did our best to get these points.” Zhao Liang said, sounding heavy. The burden of one billion dollars was suffocating them all.
Though they could scrape together a billion by pooling their resources, it would definitely affect their future lives. Moreover, this matter would also be a huge blow to the squad’s reputation.
Hearing Zhao Liang’s words, Lin Zhen’s face became serious as well.
“5200 points, how do you expect a Level Eight Fighter like me to come up with that?”
With that, he began to dig out battle rewards from his pocket. The impatient soldier in front of him urged him to be quick, thinking that it would be amazing if Lin Zhen, a Level Eight Fighter, could get even a thousand points in battle rewards.
The people from the Demon God Squad sneered and watched, waiting to see Lin Zhen make a fool of himself.
Lin Zhen first dug into his left pocket and took out some battle rewards. “Let’s see what your genius has gained? Oh! A frog’s tongue, one point.”
“Haha, and some chicken crowns, yo! Quite a few, eleven of them. Congratulations, you’ve gained twelve points, hahaha!” Kong Shan laughed rudely.
“I still have more here!”
Lin Zhen replied angrily and took out some more battle rewards from his right pocket.
“Well, this looks a bit better. Pig’s ears, haha, you can take them back and have them with drinks, perfect to help you drown your sorrows!”
Lin Zhen rummaged through his pocket and found a few mutant pig’s ears, gaining another fifty points.
The people from Demon Hunter squad all closed their eyes, as the results were too pathetic to look at.
“Don’t worry, I’ve got more here.”
Lin Zhen reached into his pants pocket again and took out a few more items.
There was a cat ear, two pig ears, two frog tongues, and a cow horn.
The soldier from the military glanced at the miscellaneous items and said,
“That’s two hundred points.”
At this moment, Ruoruo said, “Come on, Lin Zhen! You only need five thousand more points to meet the requirements. Hurry up and check your other pockets. Did you forget something? Is there an insect in your pants? If you’re too scared to get it out, would you like me to help?”
The men of the Demon God Squad burst into laughter, laughing so hard that they had tears in their eyes.
Li Mengxi looked up at Ruoruo for a moment she felt that Ruoruo was being too excessive, but she couldn’t support Lin Zhen at this moment, so she lowered her head again, hoping that the scene would end quickly.
Lin Zhen looked at Shi Lei and asked, “Captain, if we win the bet, how much money will I get?”
Shi Lei weakly replied, “Our team distributes the money according to points. If you can take out another five thousand points worth of loot, you’ll get 26 million yuan; and for every additional 200 points, you’ll get an extra million.” “Hehe, that’s good, I’m in need of money right now.”
Ruoruo snorted coldly: “Lin Zhen, what are you pretending to be? You’ve emptied all your pockets, where else can you hide any loot? Hurry up and admit defeat, pay up. I don’t have time to watch you act cute here.” contemporary romance
Lin Zhen glanced at Ruoruo, ‘Woman, your mouth stinks. Sooner or later, I’ll make you pay for your words.”
“Tsk! Look at yourself in the mirror before you start flirting, do you think I’ll let you brag just because you can dodge a few bullets? Mengxi doesn’t even care about you anymore, even if you manage to live, you’ll be single till the end.”
“How did you know I could dodge bullets?” Lin Zhen narrowed his eyes, noticing the problem.
As expected, Ruoruo’s face became a bit flustered, “You… what’s it to you how I know? Can’t I just say it casually? Don’t change the subject and waste time, don’t you see the military guys are getting impatient.”
Lin Zhen didn’t continue to argue with her. It was enough to know some things, there would be plenty of time in the future to handle it. He needed to solve the current problem first.
“Didn’t you see the big backpack behind me? What do you think is inside?”
Lin Zhen said as he took the big backpack from behind him and placed it on the ground.
“What’s that smell? And it’s so fishy? Are you carrying a salted fish with you?”
“Salted fish? You can think of it as a salted fish, but I’ll show you what turning over a salted fish means!”
As Lin Zhen spoke, he grabbed the bottom of the backpack and shook it vigorously.
“Whash!”
A large number of bright red snake letters fell out, forming piles on the ground.
Everyone present, including the soldiers, were stunned.
“This is… snake letter? It’s not E-level, is it?”
“Doesn’t look like it. Each snake letter is over a meter long. E-level snakes are small snakes and don’t have such long letters.”
“Could it be D-level? I don’t believe it. How could there be so many D-level beasts in the Warrior Zone? And even if there were, how could Lin Zhen have killed them all?”
Lin Zhen ignored the questions from the Demon God Squad members and pushed the snake letters to the soldier, “Brother soldier, count my points quickly, I’m waiting to collect the money. Today is a good day, I won’t be short on income now.”
The Demon Hunters also recovered from their shock at this moment.
Zhao Liang was the first to rush over and pick up a snake letter to examine it.
He then yelled, ‘ID-level Mutated Beast! All this is D-level Mutated Beasts! Each one is worth a hundred points. Lin Zhen, I always knew you had it in you!
You’re a freaking genius!”
Hearing Zhao Liang’s words, the faces of the Demon God Squad members were dumbstruck. Li Mengxi looked at Lin Zhen in disbelief. Looking at him standing there, laughing nonchalantly, she felt as if she had never known this
young man before.
Because he was shining!
