“Lin Baici got first place!”

Xia Hongyao boasted, “Let me tell you, he’s super amazing. He’s leading in every level, leaving others in the dust. He’s dominating the whole way!”

“How about that? My judgment was right, wasn’t it? If you had agreed to give him a spot without the entrance exam earlier, he would already be a member of my team!”

Bringing up this topic made Xia Hongyao extremely frustrated.

“When the crazy maid went, were there any powerful divine hunters in the bar? Is Nangong Shu there?”

If there was any regret, it would be that.

“The bar owner was there, and the two members from the Lost Coast happened to be there too. One of them was even a main force, but they were all defeated by Lin Baici!”

Xia Hongyao asked for a reward for Lin Baici, “I can testify, so arrange the bonus quickly. And send more people to protect Little Lin’s mother.”

“The Lost Coast? Did they come to Haijing for Lin Baici?”

Xia Hongyao took a sip of coffee. If this speculation was correct, then Lin Baici must have hidden something.

And these things happened when he killed Black Shark Third.

Looks like I need to investigate!

“Sis, you quickly show some sincerity and invite Lin Baici again.”

Xia Hongyao urged.

“He’s so outstanding, do you think you’re qualified to be his team leader?”

Xia Hongmian knew her sister’s capabilities. The risks of exploring God’s Ruins were too great, so Xia Hongmian always secretly hindered her.

Why was Xia Hongyao able to become a team leader?

Because a team leader can lead a team, and with Xia Hongyao’s personality, she definitely wouldn’t join another team as a member. But if Xia Hongyao couldn’t recruit enough teammates, she wouldn’t be able to enter God’s Ruins.

“I may be lacking a bit, not up to Little Lin’s level, but he definitely won’t look down on me!”

Xia Hongyao’s tone was quite confident.

“…”

Xia Hongmian felt that if these two people continued to interact, her sister might come back pregnant at any time.

“That’s it for now, let’s talk later. Send someone over quickly!”

Xia Hongyao hung up the phone.

Listening to the busy tone on her phone, Xia Hongmian fell into contemplation. Her interest in Lin Baici grew a little bit more.

…

The Special Operations Third Division of the Security Bureau arrived quickly. After receiving the mission, they arrived at the Dragon and Beauty Bar in just fifteen minutes.

All the divine hunters who had been contaminated by the rules were invited back to the Security Bureau’s headquarters for a simple investigation.

Lin Baici and Nangong Shu were exceptions, and Xia Hongyao didn’t even need to vouch for them. It was obvious that Xia Hongmian had given special instructions to the team leader who led the team.

The three of them left the bar and came to the street.

In the God Taboo Game, in order to survive, they didn’t care about the time. When they came out, Lin Baici realized that it was already evening.

Time passed by quickly.

“Baici, with your current appearance, you can’t go back to school. Why not stay at my place for a night?”

Nangong Shu invited.

“Can I go? I haven’t played with Big Yellow for a long time!”

Xia Hongyao looked at the bar owner eagerly.

Big Yellow was a German Shepherd and very intelligent.

“Remember to buy dog food for Big Yellow!”

Nangong Shu had experienced too much deceit and trickery, especially in God’s Ruins, where every person’s heart could be dirty. So the bar owner had a good impression of the innocent Xia Hongyao.

“Of course!”

Xia Hongyao explained to Lin Baici, “Big Yellow is very smart. He can do addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division within a hundred!”

“…”

Lin Baici was speechless. He didn’t plan to go to Nangong Shu’s house, but with Xia Hongyao’s interference, he couldn’t refuse.

“Just wait a moment!”

Nangong Shu went to the garage and drove out a Mercedes-Benz GLE. After picking up Lin Baici and Xia Hongyao, they headed towards Runjiang Garden in the western suburbs of the city.

It was a luxurious villa area.

Nangong Shu had several properties in Haijing, but she mainly lived here for peace and quiet.

An hour later, they arrived at the residential area.

Lin Baici took a glance and even though he had no knowledge of real estate, he could tell that the houses here were extremely expensive.

Probably worth over a hundred million.

The Mercedes-Benz entered the residential area, and the bustling streets and markets seemed to be cut off instantly, becoming quiet all of a sudden.

Detached villas were separated by maple leaves and camphor trees, creating a sense of privacy.

Because the plot ratio was very low, the residential area was large, but there weren’t many residents, ensuring tranquility.

The asphalt road was very clean, and there were occasionally four large mushroom-shaped garbage cans, which were disguised.

“How much do the houses here cost?”

Lin Baici was curious. He thought that living in a place like this must be very nice.

“I don’t know. When I bought it, including the decoration, it cost 120 million!”

Nangong Shu hadn’t paid attention to this kind of issue.

“…”

Lin Baici currently had twenty million in his hands and felt like a small local tyrant, but now it seemed that he still had a long way to go.

“Do you like it?”

The bar owner chuckled, “I’ll give you a set!”

“Auntie, don’t joke around. I’ll take it seriously.”

Lin Baici felt that if he were the him from when he had just graduated from high school, facing a rich woman like Nangong Shu, he would definitely be awkward and wouldn’t know what to say. But now, strength brought him confidence.

As the saying goes, money gives men courage, and for divine hunters, strength is their confidence.

“I’m not joking!”

Nangong Shu glanced at Lin Baici through the rearview mirror, “You just suffered a loss in the recent exploration. Once you become famous after exploring a few more God’s Ruins, buying a house like this will be as easy as buying cabbage.”

“I’ll give it to you willingly when the time comes, but you won’t be interested!”

You have to grab the opportunity early. It will be too late to build a relationship when others have already made it.

In other words, Nangong Shu sees a bright future for Lin Baici.

“As long as Little Lin agrees and signs the genius clause contract that my sister gave, you can immediately get a billion.”

Xia Hongyao’s big eyes turned, “I also think the houses here are nice. If you like it, you should buy one quickly!”

As for houses and such, Xia Hongyao didn’t care. Even if it was a doghouse, she could live happily in it. She didn’t care about these things. She was only interested in exploring God’s Ruins.She said this purely to make Lin Baici sign the contract quickly.

“The house next door has recently been sold, and they are in a hurry to cash out. If you want it, I can help you negotiate. It should cost around seventy to eighty million!”

Nangong Shu was lying because she had bought the two houses next to her own in order to have peace and quiet.

She could tell that Lin Baici was not the type of person to easily accept someone’s kindness, so she wanted to thank him in this way.

Speaking of which, she was able to pass through so easily today thanks to him.

“I don’t have the money!”

Lin Baici shrugged his shoulders.

“I can lend you some!”

Nangong Shu parked the car in the garage and led the two of them into the villa.

As soon as they opened the door, Lin Baici saw a German Shepherd holding a pair of women’s slippers, sitting at the entrance. It immediately came over and wagged its tail to greet its owner when it saw Nangong Shu.

“Da Huang!”

Xia Hongyao squatted down and patted the dog’s head, handing it the dog food she bought on the way.

“This is my new friend!”

Nangong Shu introduced.

“Woof woof!”

The German Shepherd barked twice, as if greeting them.

[A dog that has been irradiated by a divine corpse, it is intelligent. Eating it can nourish yang energy, strengthen the body. I recommend having a hot pot!]

Without Nangong Shu doing anything, the German Shepherd took out two pairs of slippers from the shoe cabinet and gave them to Lin Baici and Xia Hongyao, and they were even separated into men’s and women’s.

“Da Huang is so smart!”

Xia Hongyao praised and patted the dog’s head.

Nangong Shu saw Lin Baici sizing up the dog and smiled as she explained, “When I was young, I explored the God’s Ruins and accidentally found this dog. Don’t worry, it hasn’t been contaminated by the rules for so many years.”

Lin Baici smiled, but he didn’t really believe such words.

“Food God, can it cause rule contamination?”

Lin Baici hadn’t forgotten that just a few days ago, he killed a dog and received a divine favor called “One Breath, Hundred Flavors”.

[A loyal dog, as long as you don’t harm its owner, it is harmless to humans and animals. It loves to gnaw on stewed pork ribs the most!]

“I’ll lend you some money!”

Nangong Shu stopped the car in the garage and led the two of them into the villa.

As soon as they opened the door, Lin Baici saw a German Shepherd holding a pair of women’s slippers, sitting at the entrance. It immediately came over and wagged its tail to greet its owner when it saw Nangong Shu.

“Da Huang!”

Xia Hongyao squatted down and patted the dog’s head, handing it the dog food she bought on the way.

“This is my new friend!”

Nangong Shu introduced.

“Woof woof!”

The German Shepherd barked twice, as if greeting them.

[A dog that has been irradiated by a divine corpse, it is intelligent. Eating it can nourish yang energy, strengthen the body. I recommend having a hot pot!]

Without Nangong Shu doing anything, the German Shepherd took out two pairs of slippers from the shoe cabinet and gave them to Lin Baici and Xia Hongyao, and they were even separated into men’s and women’s.

“Da Huang is so smart!”

Xia Hongyao praised and patted the dog’s head.

Nangong Shu saw Lin Baici sizing up the dog and smiled as she explained, “When I was young, I explored the God’s Ruins and accidentally found this dog. Don’t worry, it hasn’t been contaminated by the rules for so many years.”

Lin Baici smiled, but he didn’t really believe such words.

“Food God, can it cause rule contamination?”

Lin Baici hadn’t forgotten that just a few days ago, he killed a dog and received a divine favor called “One Breath, Hundred Flavors”.

[A loyal dog, as long as you don’t harm its owner, it is harmless to humans and animals. It loves to gnaw on stewed pork ribs the most!]

“You two go take a shower, I’ll cook!”

Nangong Shu led the two of them to the guest rooms.

An hour later, the three of them sat at the dining table.

“Aunt Shu’s cooking is still so good!”

Xia Hongyao wolfed down the dishes on the table.

[These dishes are made by a divine taboo!]

Lin Baici picked up his chopsticks, ready to eat. But when he heard this, his hand froze.

“What’s wrong? Don’t you like it?”

Nangong Shu was surprised. Anyone who came to her house as a guest would be conquered by her cooking.

“Aunt Shu, are you sure it’s safe to eat these dishes?”

Lin Baici was worried.

“Of course it is…”

Nangong Shu was about to finish her sentence when she looked surprised. “You figured it out?”

Lin Baici smiled slightly.

“I’ve been eating them for over ten years!”

Nangong Shu smiled and picked up a chicken leg, placing it in Lin Baici’s bowl. “Eat with peace of mind, the dishes made by the chef in my house are good for the body!”

Nangong Shu’s cheeks turned slightly red.

She had a kitchen knife that could summon a chef with exquisite culinary skills, so Nangong Shu had the persona of a “cooking expert” among her friends.

Now her little secret was exposed, making Nangong Shu feel a little embarrassed.

[The dishes are safe!]

Lin Baici took a bite of the chicken leg.

He also had a chef who was good at making Eight Treasure Porridge, but he didn’t dare to use it because it would burn people like firewood.

Nangong Shu was curious how Lin Baici was able to immediately figure out that the dishes were related to a divine taboo.

After dinner, the three of them moved to the living room and continued chatting.

As the gathering place for divine hunters, the Dragon and Beauty Bar gathered a lot of information, and as the owner, Nangong Shu naturally knew a lot.

For example, the divine favor of a dragon-level hunter and their experiences.

Lin Baici listened with great interest.

“The most talented newcomer in the Security Bureau right now is called Ying Baili, but once you join, she should step aside!”

Nangong Shu complimented.

“Alright, it’s getting late, you should rest early!”

Nangong Shu sent the two of them back to their guest rooms.

…

Finally, Xia Hongyao had some free time. She lay on the bed, took out her phone, and opened a WeChat group called “Soul of the Dragon”.

Chief Detective Xia: Where is everyone? Hibernating?

Xia Hongyao sent a 100 yuan red envelope.

Eating Xi Ge: Just finished eating, 24 dishes on the table, sumptuous.

Prime Minister He: I smell the scent of boasting from our Chief Detective’s words. Is something good happening?

He was still the fastest in grabbing red envelopes.

Hot Pot Immortal: Same question.

Chief Detective Xia: Haha, have you guys heard of the Crazy Maid?

Good, it’s my turn next.

In the past, Xia Hongyao could only watch as these dragon-level veterans led teams to explore the God’s Ruins and share their experiences, which made her extremely envious.

Now, it was finally her turn to share her experiences.

Feeling ecstatic!

Hot Pot Immortal: The Seven Wonders, I’ve heard of it but never seen it.

Wildman Uncle: Minister Xia seems to have experienced it, but it’s classified and requires contribution points to access.

Within the Security Bureau, there were some extremely important information that could only be accessed with contribution points. Having contribution points would decrease the likelihood of being a spy.

A Wandering Red Ghost: You didn’t encounter that Crazy Maid, did you?

With Xia Hongyao’s personality, if it was Xia Hongmian’s achievements, she wouldn’t boast about it.

My Daughter is the Best: Hongyao, do you still have your tail and whiskers?

Eating Xi Ge: How many people died? Do I know them? If I do, I’ll go eat a meal.

There were a string of replies below, even some old lurkers who hadn’t been seen for years surfaced to join in the discussion. The news about the Crazy Maid was just too important.

Chief Detective Xia: I encountered that Crazy Maid today, my sister confirmed it, she is one of the Seven Wonders.

Snake Princess: How tall is she?

Eating Xi Ge: Why do you care about a woman’s height as a man?Orochi Princess: If you’re not 18cm, don’t talk to me.

Wild Uncle: Don’t say that behind me, or they’ll think you’re talking about me! For the record, I’m 28cm.

Brother Chi: You might as well say you can wrap it around your waist!

Crane Prime Minister: Mind your manners.

Wild Uncle sent ten red envelopes of a hundred each, pushing the conversation up.

My Daughter is the Best in the World: Seeing you so happy, you must be fine, right?

Detective Xia: Of course, let me tell you, little…

Xia Hongyao suddenly felt depressed. She wanted to brag about her and Lin Baici’s strategy, but if she did, everyone would surely notice Lin. What if they tried to poach him?

Sigh!

Lin, you’re so outstanding, it puts me in a difficult position!

But we are close friends who can have children for each other, you should be able to resist these team leaders trying to poach you, right?

Never mind, if I don’t brag a bit, I won’t be able to sleep tonight.

Detective Xia: As for the specifics, due to confidentiality, I can’t say. But let me give you a rough idea. That crazy maid has a food fortune wheel. Whatever you draw, you have to eat.

The Dragon-level elders listened.

With Xia Hongyao’s intelligence, and these elders usually taking good care of her, she had no guard up and was easily coaxed into talking.

Brother Chi: It seems that if it weren’t for Lin Baici, all of you would be having a feast at home.

Wild Uncle: Hongyao, you need to stand tall. You’re a team leader, but your performance is like a leg ornament.

Orochi Princess: I also want to be an ornament, but unfortunately, I don’t have a leg. I pray to God to give me a 1.8-meter leg!

Crane Prime Minister: May I ask, what was the final reward Lin Baici received?

Detective Xia: I don’t know, I didn’t see!

Everyone sighed at her words. Xia Hongyao was really naive. Compared to her sister, it was like heaven and earth.

Hotpot Immortal: Hongyao, let’s have a meal together, my treat, invite Baici too!

Detective Xia: Okay!

Humph!

Do you think I’m stupid?

I remember you. When my team grows, the first one I’ll poach is your team’s ace.

Brother Chi: @Detective Xia, has your luck been a bit bad recently?

My Daughter is the Best in the World: That’s right, count it. In the past two months, you’ve encountered two God’s Ruins and three Divine taboo contaminations.

Wild Uncle: The crazy maid should be counted as God’s Ruins!

Detective Xia: Now that you mention it, it seems so!

Xia Hongyao realized it later.

Orochi Princess: Should I say that Lin Baici is unlucky or hardy, his fate against the gods?

Ordinary god hunters, encountering such frequent rule contaminations, would always have some problems. But according to Xia Hongyao, Lin Baici turned misfortune into fortune every time, feasting and fattening, and was the final winner.

No, I have to find an opportunity to meet him.

Brother Chi: You can let him into the Qin Palace, maybe it will break!

Detective Xia: @Brother Chi, can you stop giving bad ideas?

Xia Hongyao was a little unhappy. The Qin Palace was so dangerous, was she supposed to send Lin to his death?

Brother Chi: I apologize!

He sent a big package.

Because of the topic of the crazy maid, everyone was in high spirits and kept chatting.

…

Lin Baici lay on the bed, browsing the Origin Forum for a while, and then his buddy called him on video.

The moment Li Wei saw Lin Baici, he noticed his background.

“Holy shit, Old Bai, why are you staying in a hotel again?”

Li Wei began to worry. His buddy wasn’t becoming a gigolo, was he?

“No, I helped a friend move today. It got late, so I stayed over!”

Lin Baici had no choice but to lie.

“Is this friend of yours a rich second generation?”

Even though it was a guest room, the decoration was quite high-end. Anyone who saw it would know that this family was not short of money.

“Rich first generation!”

Lin Baici chuckled.

“Never mind the generations, you’re free tomorrow, come hang out with me. We haven’t seen each other in a long time, we need to catch up.”

Li Wei urged Lin Baici to hurry up.

“I can’t tomorrow, how about next week?”

Lin Baici also wanted to have a meal with his buddy.

“You don’t have a girlfriend, why are you so busy?”

Li Wei was puzzled.

“How do you know I don’t have a girlfriend?”

Lin Baici countered.

“With your indecisive personality, waiting for you to actively pursue a girl would take forever. And when a girl pursues you, you always push her away!”

Li Wei knew that in high school, there were girls who liked Lin Baici, but this guy was too poor and had low self-esteem to dare to date.

“When will you toughen up? If I had your looks, I would have had three kids by now!”

“Get lost!”

Lin Baici knew Li Wei was joking. He wasn’t that kind of person.

“Ah, why are girls so hard to chase?”

Li Wei sighed, “If I met a girl who threw herself at me, even if she was a hag, I wouldn’t mind!”

“Baici, are you asleep? I heated up some milk!”

Nangong Shu knocked on the door, her voice echoing outside.

“Huh? I think I heard a woman’s voice?”

Li Wei was puzzled, looking at Lin Baici, “If you’re short of money, tell me. I have some here. We can’t become gigolos!”
