Bab 26: Chapter 26: Leng Qing
«You must be Qin Chen, Ling Ling's partner. I'm Leng Qing, Ling Ling's older sister. Please take care of her in the future.» Leng Qing extended her right hand politely upon seeing Qin Chen.
«It's no trouble at all. We're partners, and Ling Ling is adorable and sensible. She helps me with many things,» Qin Chen responded politely, shaking her hand. Though Leng Qing looked like a mature woman, her hand was as soft and smooth as that of a young girl. The touch was incredibly pleasant, but Qin Chen, with his strong will, let go immediately without any lingering, maintaining a clear and respectful gaze.
«Hmph, it's more like I'm taking care of him,» Ling Ling retorted, displeased by her sister's words.
«Ling Ling, see if there's any suitable bounty for us. I have some free time recently and want to take on more bounties. Anything under a million is not worth considering,» Qin Chen said, not disputing Ling Ling's remark, but focusing on the bounties instead. He realized he needed money badly. His plant element was still a basic type, he had to raise his newly contracted Tianju, and he needed to save up for the future to contract the Rock Emperor, which would require substantial resources. All these expenses were like bottomless pits, and he had to start saving now.
«Do you need money that much?» Ling Ling asked curiously. In her eyes, Qin Chen seemed well-off, considering he already had winged magic equipment as a mid-tier mage.
«Have you ever seen a mage who doesn't need money?» Qin Chen rolled his eyes.
«Alright, let me see what bounties are available,» Ling Ling nodded, acknowledging his point. She pulled out a notebook from somewhere and started checking the bounties.
«Escort a merchant to Yunnan, three days, one million. Take it?»
«Too far, don't take it.»
«Hunt five warrior-level Shadow Wolves at Langya Mountain, retrieve their teeth, claws, and pelts, with less than 10% damage to the pelts, one hundred and twenty thousand, half a month. Take it?»
«Too far and too troublesome, don't take it.»
«Find out why sheep are disappearing at the HP district ranch, whether it's due to humans or monsters, and capture the culprit, one hundred and ten thousand, three days. Take it?»
«Take it!»
«In the sewers of Modu, there's a bounty for capturing or killing monsters: twenty thousand per servant-level, eighty thousand per warrior-level, no limit on quantity or time. Take it?»
«Take it. If we encounter any, we'll kill them; if not, we'll ignore it.»
Ling Ling read out the bounties while Qin Chen decided which ones to take, adhering to his principles of quick money-making: easy tasks, close locations, quick completions, and high prices. He ignored the rest.
Ling Ling was secretly delighted. She liked Qin Chen's straightforwardness. He accepted tasks quickly, executed them without delay, and hunted monsters efficiently. Seeing him take on so many tasks, Ling Ling was overjoyed. With so many tasks, they wouldn't have to go to school for at least two months, which made her extremely happy.
Leng Qing sat silently, drinking tea, not intervening or stopping Ling Ling from going monster hunting with Qin Chen. She had already consulted Elder Bao, who had simply said: «Ling Ling can follow him; he's reliable.» If Elder Bao trusted Qin Chen, she had no reason not to. Moreover, after learning that Ling Ling had a new partner, Leng Qing immediately investigated Qin Chen's background, including his parents. Although there was little information about his parents, she found out they were elites in their respective fields, which reassured her about Qin Chen.
For the next two and a half months, Qin Chen and Ling Ling traveled around, completing tasks without taking a single day off. They became immersed in the joy of taking and completing tasks. When there were no suitable tasks at the Qingtian Hunter Agency, they went directly to the Hunter Alliance, selecting and completing tasks, submitting them, and getting paid. Qin Chen, initially unfamiliar with the process, became highly proficient.
«Phew, finally done with all the tasks. It wasn't easy!»
Qin Chen sat at the Qingtian Hunter Agency, snatching the milk tea Ling Ling had just poured and taking a gulp, expressing his relief.
«Hmph, you were so excited about taking tasks before, and now you're complaining!»
Ling Ling glared at Qin Chen, pouring herself another cup of milk tea. She was used to Qin Chen's behavior and didn't get angry anymore. Otherwise, she would have been mad countless times every day.
«Ling Ling, you kept asking about taking tasks, and I accepted so many for your sake.»
Qin Chen shamelessly lied, showing no embarrassment as if it were the truth.
«In two and a half months, we took thirty tasks and completed them all. The total reward is fifty-nine million, all transferred to your account,» Ling Ling said, sipping her milk tea and transferring the funds.
«Ling Ling, didn't we agree to split it equally? Why did you transfer it all to me?» Qin Chen was baffled by the notification of the transfer.
«You need the money more. From now on, all bounty money will go to you. I don't need it. It's useless for me. Your increased strength means we can take on more bounties in the future.»
Ling Ling's tone was indifferent, as if money was just a number to her and hunting monsters was far more interesting.
«Ling Ling, you're such a good girl! I love you so much!»
Moved by her words, Qin Chen immediately put down his milk tea, lifted Ling Ling, and gave her a kiss.
«You pervert, do you know that your actions can get you three years in prison!» Ling Ling pushed Qin Chen's face away, wiping off the saliva on her cheek with disgust.
«Hahaha, couldn't help it, couldn't help it.» Qin Chen laughed awkwardly. Anyone would be thrilled to be supported by a rich little girl like Ling Ling.
«If you do this again, I won't take you monster hunting anymore!» Ling Ling warned sternly, not wanting to face such situations frequently.
«I believe you! From now on, whatever you say goes!» Qin Chen agreed quickly, not daring to offend Ling Ling after receiving such generous support.
«That's more like it!»
Ling Ling was satisfied with Qin Chen's response. Indeed, men loved money. Give them money, and no matter how bad-tempered, they would behave.
