Chapter 45: Chapter 45: Temptation

The soldier was stunned for a moment, but immediately began to count Lin Zhen’s spoils skillfully.

Each D-level Snake Letter is worth 100 points. After a few minutes of counting, the result came out.

Lin Zhen had brought out a total of seventy-one Snake Letters, adding up to 7,100 points!

Combined with the previous 200 points, the total is 7,300 points!

Just as the soldier was about to announce the result, Lin Zhen suddenly picked up one of the Snake Letters and said, “Look closely, this one is not D-level.”

The soldier took it and looked at it, somewhat incredulously looking at Lin

Zhen, but still corrected, “Yes, this Snake Letter is from a C-level Variant Beast. Your total score should be 8,200 points!”

Hearing this result, the members of the Demon Hunter Squad were about to go crazy.

Zhao Liang jumped around Lin Zhen excitedly: “Xiao Linzi, you’re amazing! Now our squad’s points have surpassed that of Demon God’s. Ha ha! I don’t have to pay out-of-pocket, and I’ll still make a lot of money. Even if we get nothing from Yilan, it’s worth the trip!”

Shi Lei laughed, his dark face slightly reddening.

Gao Yan also sighed and patted Lin Zhen’s shoulder, feeling a sense of the new generation replacing the old.

Ye Tiancheng even went over to the Demon God’s group and gloated, “Captain Zhou, it seems things are turning around, huh? A moment ago, you wanted money from us, and now it’s your turn to worry. A hundred million, hehe! Can you guys scrape it together? If not, we’ll report you to the Martial Artists Union. Keep in mind that not only do you have videos, but we do, too!”

The faces of the Demon God team were as ugly as they could be. Zhou Tie looked as if he had swallowed a pile of shit, wishing he could crush Ye Tiancheng to death.

“This kid must have cheated! How could an eight-level warrior like him kill so many D-level Mutated Beasts, and even a C-level beast, without teaming up? How did he do it?” Hua Xiaofeng refused to accept the result and complained.

Lin Zhen sneered at him, “Regardless of what you say, it won’t change the fact that you have to pay up. You’d better worry about where the money will come from.”

There was nothing left for the members of the Demon God team to say. Even if they were unwilling to accept it, they dared not renege. They huddled together, discussing how to pay up.

After a while, they came up with a plan. Zhou Tie would pay 40 million, Hua Xiaofeng and Kong Shan would each pay 20 million, and Li Mengxi and Ruoruo would each pay 10 million.

The 80 million yuan from Zhou Tie and the others was transferred quickly, but when it came to Li Mengxi and Ruoruo, they were a little hesitant.

Paying 10 million each was not impossible, but it would almost wipe out their entire wealth. If they gave it away, their time spent hunting in the wild for almost a year would be wasted. After all, they were only at the Warrior Level, and even if they got some money normally, their shares were not much. Moreover, Martial Artists spend money lavishly, so 10 million is no small sum to them.

As for the Demon Hunter team, according to the distribution ratio, Shi Lei received 20 million, Ye Tiancheng received 18 million, Zhao Liang 15 million, Gao Yan 12 million, and Lin Zhen got 35 million.

The money from the four of them had arrived, and Lin Zhen was only short of 20 million, waiting for Li Mengxi and Ruoruo to transfer it.

Ruoruo pulled Li Mengxi over to Lin Zhen, lowered her head for a moment, tucking her hair behind her ears, then raised her head to reveal those big, watery eyes, and asked Lin Zhen, “Lin Zhen, you and Mengxi have known each other since you were little, right?”

“That’s right.” Lin Zhen nodded.

“I heard that you have a good relationship, and you like Mengxi too, don’t you?” Lin Zhen was silent for a moment: “What do you want to say?”

“I want to say that Mengxi and I are both girls and we’re not strong. We don’t have much money. Can you give us some more time?”

Lin Zhen didn’t say anything, just looked at Li Mengxi and Ruoruo.

Ruoruo continued, “If you agree, after we return to the city, we can treat you to a meal, and invite you out to have fun. I think Mengxi still has a chance with you.”

Lin Zhen smiled and asked Li Mengxi, “Mengxi, are you out of money?”

“A little, but that’s all I have…” Li Mengxi’s voice was very soft, and she really didn’t want to take out this money.

The members of the Demon Hunter team were amused as they watched Lin Zhen. If Lin Zhen agreed, they wouldn’t say anything, as this was his personal matter.

Only Zhao Liang snorted, “Just now she was hugging and cuddling with someone else, but now that the wind has changed, she comes running over to seduce Lin Zhen. What a joke!”

Shi Lei pulled Zhao Liang back, “Don’t talk nonsense, that’s Lin Zhen’s business. ”

As for Lin Zhen, he had an inexplicable feeling that he couldn’t see through. He didn’t know how Lin Zhen did it, how he could kill so many beasts in the testing area. Even if it was him, a third-level War General, he might find it difficult to do so, right?

The future development of the Demon Hunter team might depend on Lin Zhen.

Just when everyone thought Lin Zhen was going to agree, he smiled at Li Mengxi, “Mengxi, as neighbors, I wouldn’t mind treating you to a meal, but before that, I hope you two will pay me the money you owe me. I don’t want to take this to the Martial Artists Union, as it wouldn’t be good for any of us, don’t you think?”

Li Mengxi looked up at Lin Zhen in disbelief. Was this the Lin Zhen she knew?

The Lin Zhen she knew should be happy for days just to see her smile, right? Wasn’t he supposed to be at her beck and call?

It didn’t seem like he was short of money now. Why couldn’t he agree to her little request?

Did he not like her anymore?

It must be because of what happened with Zhou Tie earlier that had upset him. But she and Zhou Tie hadn’t made any real progress. If she put in a little effort, would Lin Zhen come back to her? Now it seemed that Lin Zhen had a promising future as well.

Li Mengxi’s mind was in chaos. Ruoruo beside her glared at Lin Zhen fiercely: “Stingy! You deserve to be single for the rest of your life!”

“I won’t bother you with that, and I don’t think I’ll be single forever.”

“Psh! Let’s see what kind of person you end up with? Mengxi is a martial artist, and she’s so beautiful. Even with a lantern, you won’t find someone like her. You’ll regret it later and when you try to win her back, it’ll be useless. Mengxi, give him the money!”

Both women reluctantly transferred the money to Lin Zhen. After receiving the money, Lin Zhen didn’t say anything more to them and went straight back to the Demon Hunter team.

“Brother, well done! I thought you wouldn’t be able to resist the temptation and would agree. If you did, I’d really look down on you.” Zhao Liang punched Lin Zhen, his face full of relief.

“Brother Zhao, you underestimate me. Do you think I’m the kind of guy who can’t move when I see a woman?”

“I think you are.”

“What the hell! Are you looking for a fight?”

“Come on! Lin Zhen, I’ve wanted to teach you a lesson for a long time. I reckon I won’t be able to teach you in a couple of months. I’ll beat you up while you’re still not grown up. When you become a War God in the future, I can brag about it to others. Hahaha!”

Zhao Liang and Lin Zhen joked and played around. In this team, Lin Zhen’s relationship with Zhao Liang was the closest.

“Silence! All squads, listen up! Those who qualify to enter Yilan, follow me.

Those who were eliminated, return immediately. Don’t linger here!”

Following the order of the military officer, the majority of Martial Artist squads left, including the Demon Hunters and Demon Gods. In total, eight teams had obtained the qualifications to enter Yilan..
