Chapter 16: A Genius! Dumbfounded!
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lin Luo brought Lin Meng'er to eat, drink, and have fun. They only returned home after the sun had set.
The clone returned in the afternoon.
In the era of great disasters, once the sky turned dark, the danger index outside the city rose sharply.
No one dared to stay outside the city at night unless they wanted to die without a corpse.
When Lin Luo opened the door, he saw a big bag in the corner of the room. It was filled with the good stuff taken from the exotic beast's corpse.
As soon as he opened the bag, the smell of blood immediately ran out, almost overwhelming Lin Luo.
After briefly looking through the spoils of war from today's trip, Lin Luo quickly tied the bag tightly.
"It's a good thing I have a clone, so I don't have to go out and hunt by myself." Lin Luo muttered as he sat beside the bag.
This smell was too strong!
It wasn't just the smell of blood. The flesh of the mutant beasts also had different degrees of stench.
The next day, after his clone went out of the city to hunt, Lin Luo casually flipped open the last high-level martial arts book in his hand and began to learn it automatically.
After two days, there were already two large bags of spoils in the room.
These spoils of war had only been dealt with simply. If they were to be piled up any further, the room would probably stink.
Lin Luo simply took them to the auction house.
The auction house in the city would also accept ordinary exotic beasts, other than the more precious exotic beast parts.
The ordinary items would be auctioned off according to the quantity, while the precious ones would naturally be auctioned off separately.
Lin Luo rented a car. When he arrived at the entrance of the auction house, there was already a line at the exotic beast collection area.
Dragging two large bags of things, he was at the back of the line.
Both of his clones had gone out of the city to hunt ultra beasts, so Lin Luo could only line up with his loot.
Suddenly!
A large bag of things smashed in front of Lin Luo!
It happened to be the space between the person in front of Lin Luo and Lin Luo.
Then, a brawny man swaggered up to Lin Luo.
"My good fellow, cutting queue?"
"Hey!" Lin Luo patted the other party's shoulder. "You've cut the queue!"
The brawny man turned his head and glared at Lin Luo fiercely. "So what? Do you know which hunting team I'm from?!"
"I don't even know you, so, of course, I don't." Lin Luo looked at the brawny man strangely.
"Hurry up and get down. Don't you have any manners?!"
Lin Luo raised his voice, and many people noticed.
The brawny man was only a middle-ranked warrior, so Lin Luo was not afraid.
Did he really think that he was a pushover?
Many martial artists were pointing at them and whispering.
The brawny man immediately cowered. He was afraid that the people from the auction house would notice him and forbid him from entering the auction house in the future.
The auction house had its own rules. Those who cut the queue or stirred up trouble would be permanently banned from entering the auction house.
The brawny man dragged his bag and lined up behind Lin Luo.
However, when he passed by Lin Luo, he said unwillingly, "I'm a member of the five-star Wind Chasing Team! You'll be in serious trouble if you mess with us!"
Five-star?
"I even rejected the recruitment of the seven-star original heart team, so why would I be afraid of provoking the five-star Wind Chasing Team?"
Lin Luo immediately rolled his eyes.
Not only did he not see Lin Luo's fearful expression, but he even rolled his eyes at him. The burly man was furious!
"Ha! What's the use of you being in the front? I only hunted a pile of trash, probably only a few hundred spirit stones."
The brawny man looked at the two big bags by Lin Luo's feet and said with malice.
Lin Luo was speechless.
"Get lost!"
This farce ended with the brawny man unwillingly lining up behind Lin Luo.
...
The queue wasn't too slow, and half an hour later, it was Lin Luo's turn.
The person in charge of counting the exotic beasts was a handsome young man who looked young.
After that...
Lin Luo saw that the young man was wearing gloves. He poured out his two large bags of spoils and quickly sorted the limbs.
"Sure!"
The little brother was holding the last piece of limb in his hand. It was the head of a ferocious beetle, more than twice the size of his hand. It was covered with black fur and stained with green liquid. It was fierce and ugly.
The young man smiled at Lin Luo and complimented him even though he was carrying such a thing. The scene was very strange.
Lin Luo's mouth twitched, and he felt a chill at the back of his head.
"Hey, which team are you from? I've never seen you before," the young man asked while doing the accounting.
Only a five-star hunting team could hunt exotic beasts of this level.
He had been in charge of taking inventory of the exotic beasts here, so he was quite familiar with the people on the team.
This was the first time he had seen Lin Luo's face.
"There's no hunting team. I hunted this myself." Lin Luo rubbed the goosebumps on his arms. He wanted to quickly take the spirit stones and leave, so he answered very quickly.
This little brother didn't seem normal.
As for the hunter, his clone was also him, so it wasn't wrong to say he hunted it himself.
The young man, who was about to ask Lin Luo for a card, was stunned. "You hunted it yourself?"
Because he was too surprised, the young man's voice was not low, and all the surrounding martial artists heard it.
The brawny man standing behind Lin Luo was stunned at first, and then fear filled the air.
To be able to hunt so many exotic beasts of this level, he was definitely not a simple warrior!
He... Could he have provoked a hidden expert?
"Yes." Lin Luo nodded and impatiently asked, "How many spirit stones?"
He handed the card over.
"5000." The young man came back to his senses, took the card, and transferred the spirit stones to Lin Luo's card.
The brawny man stretched his head and looked at the exotic beasts that Lin Luo had divided. Then, he lowered his head with difficulty to look at the bag of exotic beasts by his feet.
His bag of mutant beasts was the one the small team had hunted for the past two days, and there were about a thousand spirit stones in it.
And Lin Luo, who he had just ridiculed, had hunted 5000 spirit stones all by himself!
The brawny man felt a burning sensation on both sides of his face as if he had been slapped hard.
"5000 spirit stones. You hunted it yourself?" A surprised and aged voice suddenly came from Lin Luo's side.
"F*ck!"
The voice was almost right next to Lin Luo, scaring him so much that he almost jumped up.
"Hahaha, little friend, don't be afraid. I'm the boss of this auction house." The old man moved further away from Lin Luo and walked to the pile of spoils.
"Mr. Chu," the young man greeted the old man respectfully.
The old man ignored the young man. He flipped through the beast parts that Lin Luo had brought and stared at Lin Luo.
Lin Luo, who was getting goosebumps from being stared at, wished he could just take the spirit stones and run, but his card was still in the young man's hands.
"What a genius!" The old man stared at Lin Luo for a while and suddenly shouted excitedly, "he's a middle-ranked warrior, but he's able to kill these exotic beasts. He's a genius!
"You must have great talent! Is he a rare once-in-ten-thousand-years talent?"
Lin Luo laughed drily and thought, "it's indeed a rare talent, but it's just a rare trash talent."
"My young friend."
Mr. Chu approached Lin Luo excitedly. "Are you interested in working at an auction house? Five thousand spirit stones per month!"
Five thousand?
Lin Luo was delighted. "What do I need to do? Are we going out to hunt?"
"Of course not. You only need to stay in the auction house and teach the troublemakers a lesson. You'll be in charge of the security of the auction house. How about that?"
Lin Luo was speechless.
"Bullshit! This man belongs to my Zhang family!"
