Beast Taming: My spirit beast bloodline is overloaded

Chapter 65 The Vanished Beast Tide

"The name is wrong," Lin Chen said.

"A name?" Qin Hao's interest was piqued. He said, "Brother Lin, do you know feng shui? I also think the name Qin Hao is bad. Can changing it change my fate?"

"The name is fine."

Unexpectedly, Qin Shaoshao interrupted at this moment.

Qin Hao was taken aback and wanted to ask another question, but Lin Chen was embarrassed and quickly found an excuse to fool Qin Hao.

After dinner, Lin Chen called Qin Hao out alone.

"What's going on?" Qin Hao noticed something was amiss.

Lin Chen and Qin Shaoshao's relationship wasn't what he had imagined.

"It's nothing." Lin Chen didn't want to reveal Qin Shaoshao's identity because she was too special, and the fewer people who knew about her, the better.

"Let me tell you, you're quite famous now. The matter of the ruins has caused quite a stir, and the top spot on the Hundred Stars Ranking is now vacant. It seems that the Inner Academy did this to warn future generations."

"Those teams were reportedly punished; they won't be eligible for the Inner Court's benefits for a year, and they won't be allowed to appear on the Hundred Stars Ranking for a year."

"And then there's Li Zaiqing. Although he's listed as second now, he's definitely number one."

Qin Hao was overjoyed and said, "Everyone in the guild is talking about you now, and the students in the inner academy have probably heard about you too."

"Looking back now, I do have some credit to it."

"What's it to you?" Lin Chen asked, puzzled.

"Think about it, if I didn't give up my position, you definitely wouldn't be able to support me," Qin Hao said. "I'm just yielding my position, so I'm naturally doing a good job."

"You really know how to flatter yourself." Lin Chen was speechless.

"Hehe." Qin Hao chuckled and said, "Brother Lin, I heard this time it's a vengeful spirit. Did you see that young hero with the same name as me?"

Lin Chen nodded; he knew Qin Hao would ask this, which was why he brought it up.

"How about it?"

"A very good person."

"I meant appearance," Qin Hao said. "Anyone who can participate in this kind of war must be an exceptionally good person. I'm asking if he's as handsome as me?"

Lin Chen glanced at him and said, "He's more handsome."

"Really?" Qin Hao asked, skeptical. "I don't quite believe it."

Lin Chen turned around, looked at Qin Shaoshao who was admiring the moon on the rooftop while plucking flower petals, and said to Qin Hao:
No, you must believe it.

After seeing Qin Hao off, Lin Chen didn't mention much else when he got back. He quickly took a shower and went to sleep.

The next day, Lin Chen went to the guild, but Qin Shaoshao didn't go, even though Lin Chen tried his best to persuade her to go out more.

Facing this "predecessor" who lived in the last century, Lin Chen still hoped that she could recover soon, even though he knew it would be difficult.

When passing by the market, Lin Chen bought some supplements for his two spirit beasts.

The reason why Ye Yun and his companions' spirit beasts leveled up so quickly was largely due to the supplements they received.

Lin Chen has always disapproved of "taking drugs" to level up, but taking a little bit is fine.

"Moo~~"

Little White shook its head, telling Lin Chen that it didn't want to eat supplements because Lin Chen had told it before that hard work pays off and that the path to power doesn't require supplements.

Lin Chen coughed dryly, naturally unable to tell it that times had changed and that now that they had money, they could buy some supplements.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Chen changed his approach and said, "I've been observing you lately. You snore and sweat a lot when you sleep at night. You should take some supplements."

"Moo~"

Xiao Bai was shocked upon hearing this and asked Lin Chen if she had drooled.

"A little," Lin Chen said.

Xiao Bai looked terrified and kept saying that she would definitely wash the pillow and sheets when she got back.

"."

Lin Chen was speechless, but the little fox on his shoulder rolled its eyes. Lin Chen had almost forgotten that this little fox sometimes got up in the middle of the night to check on his treasure vault, so how could it not know whether Little White was snoring or not?

So Lin Chen grabbed it and lightly tapped its head with his fist. The little fox pouted, indicating that it understood.

"I'm doing this for Xiaobai's own good."

Lin Chen spoke in a low voice, perfectly embodying the parent's version of PUA.

The little fox nodded trustingly.

Supplements are very expensive; just a few boxes can cost 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, which is a price that is really hard for ordinary families to afford.

When Lin Chen arrived at the guild, it was already noon. He noticed that there were still few people in the guild. When he went to the guild leader's office, he found that Li Zhen had indeed not returned yet.

"It seems this beast tide is quite large," Lin Chen thought.

The Beastmaster Guild had already issued a warning notice several days ago, reminding Beastmasters of Nine Star City not to travel to Black Mountain City recently.

The notice is still in effect today and has not been removed.

Lin Chen wasn't in a hurry, since Li Zhen couldn't go back on his word anyway.

He arrived at the training ground and found Ning Ziming and Cai Yuanji there, and his eyes lit up.

“I can be your sparring partner, but you’re treating tonight,” Cai Yuanji said as soon as he came up.

Lin Chen was greatly disappointed after hearing this, and said, "I thought we had gone into the ruins together, risking our lives together, and were already trustworthy comrades-in-arms."

The Shadow Tiger and Snow Lion beside him were clearly moved by Lin Chen's words, and almost couldn't help but say that they were willing to be beaten.

"Comrades are comrades, but numbers must be clearly distinguished." Cai Yuanji was very firm.

"Sure, after all, as the team leader, I should treat you to a meal."

Lin Chen wasn't a stingy person, so he said, "Let's go to the No. 1 BBQ restaurant tonight."

Anyway, I have a black card for the barbecue restaurant.
Snow Lion and Shadow Tiger swallowed hard. Lin Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, everyone who listens will get a share."

Upon hearing this, Cai Yuanji was overjoyed and said:

"Brother Lin, you are so generous."

Black Mountain City

Nearly a week has passed since the ambush battle. Huang Xiaotian led his team to search the original monster's secret realm several times, but they couldn't find any trace of the enemy.

"Perhaps they really are gone," Li Zhen sighed.

Based on years of experience in suppressing monsters, once humans discover the secret realm of monsters, they usually choose to move away from there, making it extremely difficult to find and relocate them.

“They must be nearby. Our main force knew we were ambushed that day and sent reinforcements quickly, but we couldn’t find them at all.”

Huang Xiaotian shook his head; the large scar on his forehead looked so terrifying.

Li Zhen knew that Huang Xiaotian was having a hard time getting over Wu Lei's sacrifice. He lowered his head, deep in thought.

"Is the Black Mountain City Guild planning to give up?" Huang Xiaotian's pupils suddenly changed.

"Yes." Li Zhen knew he couldn't hide it from Huang Xiaotian.

"No, if we give up, we might never find it again, and we'll have to settle scores with the captain." Huang Xiaotian was very anxious.

Li Zhen exhaled and said, "Black Mountain City also suffered considerable casualties, and after my repeated insistence, Black Mountain City has agreed to extend the stay for another five days."

"You know the rules of the Monster Hunter Guild. Most of them make a living from bounties. Let's put the bigger picture first."

"To hell with prioritizing the bigger picture!"

Huang Xiaotian cursed and turned to walk out of the city.

"Where are you going?" Li Zhen asked worriedly.

Huang Xiaotian said without turning his head:

"wait me back."

Li Zhen glanced at the direction Huang Xiaotian had left in; it was the direction of Nine Star City.
