Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 98 Incompetent Teammates

Although Xu Sanshi's voice was soft, everyone present was a Soul Master with extraordinary hearing, so they all heard it clearly.

Ji Lin's eye twitched, his face darkening. Didn't Xu Sanshi consider the occasion? Was this the kind of thing to ask in front of several girls? Especially with Wang Qiu'er present.

If the situation weren't so inappropriate, he would have drawn his sword and attacked someone.

Sensing an impending crisis, Ji Lin quickly denied it, saying, "I didn't, I didn't, don't talk nonsense."

A quick three-click response demonstrates a strong will to survive.

Wang Qiu'er, who had been curiously observing her surroundings, turned her gaze to the two of them upon hearing their conversation, and then her eyes gradually turned cold as she looked at Ji Lin.

Wang Qiu'er smiled slightly and said gently, "So you've already won over Ma Xiaotao? And a few other female classmates? Can you introduce me to them? The girls chasing you are lined up from the east gate to the west gate. I didn't know you were so popular. You even know the secrets to winning girls' hearts; even the seniors want to learn from you!"

Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao looked on with obvious amusement, their goofy nature fully exposed. They hadn't expected to see this turn of events, but then a glimmer of hope appeared. Xu Sanshi had unwittingly betrayed Ji Lin.

Beibei glared at Xu Sanshi first, then Chong Jilin shrugged helplessly, indicating that she couldn't help him.

Xu Sanshi, who had unintentionally betrayed Ji Lin, also sensed something was wrong. Although Wang Qiu'er's tone was gentle, it gave him the same feeling as Jiang Nannan when she was angry.

Realizing he'd messed up, Xu Sanshi's mind raced, trying to salvage the situation. But then he noticed a female student walking in. At that moment, he stopped thinking about anything and just went for it.

Xu Sanshi said to Ji Lin, "I'm sorry, junior. I was going to explain for you, but I have urgent business to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."

As he spoke, Xu Sanshi ran towards the female student who had just entered, shouting, "Nannan, you're finally here! I've been waiting for you for so long!"

Ji Lin's face darkened even more. That damned Xu Sanshi was a complete liability, and deserved to be a sycophant.

He cursed inwardly, "I hope you end up with nothing from being such a simp."

Helpless, Ji Lin said to Wang Qiu'er with an awkward smile, "Qiu'er, it's all rumors. Don't listen to Xu Sanshi's nonsense. You know about Sister Xiao Tao's situation, and the other female classmates are also nonsense. We're together every day, how could you not know? As for the girls lining up from the east gate to the west gate, that's a complete fantasy. Shrek Academy isn't just about me being handsome. The most famous twin stars in the outer academy are Senior Bei and Xu Sanshi. Even if girls were chasing after me, it wouldn't be me, a student who just entered the second year, right?"

"And what about those so-called tips for chasing girls? Don't you know whether I have them or not, Qiu'er?"

Wang Qiu'er knew that most of what Xu Sanshi had just said was a rumor, but if a rumor was circulating, there must be a reason for it.

Wang Qiu'er sneered, "Don't I know you? Ji Lin, you're a complete villain!"

After saying that, she pulled the gloating Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao and turned to walk towards the display case where the soul bones were placed.

Looking at the three girls' backs, Ji Lin looked at Bei Bei with a helpless and embarrassed expression.

Beibei sighed, patted Ji Lin on the shoulder, and said, "Junior, you... (ο｀*))) Sigh."

Ji Lin was speechless after being completely taken aback by Bei Bei.

He was shaking his head and sighing, making it seem as if he was about to be executed in the autumn.

"Senior Beibei, I'll stop here. I'll go and see what's going on. You can go and explore by yourself." With that, Ji Lin followed the three girls.

When Ji Lin arrived at the girls' side, they were already carefully examining the soul bone in the display case.

Noticing his arrival, Xiao Xiao winked at him and playfully stuck out her tongue. Wang Dong'er's gaze remained fixed on the soul bone. Wang Qiu'er glanced at Ji Lin, saying nothing, but she didn't seem angry either.

Ji Lin didn't bring up what had just happened, and looked at the description of the soul bone, saying, "So it's a light attribute soul bone. No wonder it attracted Dong'er. This soul bone is indeed very suitable for Dong'er to absorb."

The golden light emanates from the left arm bone.

Originating from the ancient Golden Earth Dragon King, it possesses the attribute of Light and is presumed to have the ability of Light Flame. Suitable for Light-type Soul Masters. Its attached skill is expected to be offensive.

The only pity is that the soul bone is only a little over 10,000 years old, but if it were much older, it wouldn't be displayed here.

Ji Lin looked at the price: 9.5 million gold soul coins.

He clicked his tongue slightly. Soul bones, indeed, are one of the most expensive items on the continent. They are indeed expensive.

As times change, the purchasing power of Gold Soul Coins is actually constantly increasing. A family of three's annual expenses are only a few dozen Gold Soul Coins. What can 9.5 million Gold Soul Coins do? Enough to arm a 10,000-strong heavy cavalry force to the teeth, including the horses.

A typical ten-thousand-year soul bone costs around three million gold soul coins. The reason this soul bone is so expensive is probably because the ten-thousand-year-old Golden Earth Dragon King possesses pure dragon blood.

Ji Lin looked at the dumbfounded Wang Dong'er and asked, "How is it? Do you have enough money? If not, I have some here."

He originally thought Wang Dong'er had enough money, but seeing that the price of this soul bone was three times that of a regular soul bone, he suspected that Wang Dong'er hadn't brought enough money.

Wang Dong'er blushed and said embarrassedly, "I had about three million gold soul coins on me, which I thought would be more than enough to buy a soul bone. Who knew it would be so expensive!"

Xiao Xiao stared at Wang Dong'er in disbelief. Who usually carries three million gold soul coins around all the time? It turns out her best friend is a hidden little rich girl.

Ji Lin smiled and said, "Then I'll buy this soul bone. I'll get a 40% discount, and you can pay me back later."

When Ji Lin left the Star Luo Empire this time, Xu Jiujiu prepared ten million gold soul coins for her, which fully demonstrated what it means to be a rich woman and what it means to be kept.

Ji Lin directly paid for the soul bone without using his privileges to exchange for it. Although buying the soul bone at a 60% discount was a bargain from Shrek Academy, it was still better than incurring a favor by directly exchanging it with his privileges.

He also casually bought a piece of millennium whale glue from the display case next to him, worth six thousand gold soul coins. Wang Qiu'er and the other two girls didn't know why Ji Lin would buy this obviously inferior whale glue, but since Ji Lin wanted to buy it, they didn't say anything, after all, it wasn't very expensive.

Only Ji Lin knew that this was a piece of ten-thousand-year whale glue. Although Ji Lin had absorbed one-hundred-thousand-year whale glue before, ten-thousand-year whale glue was still a rare and valuable item. At a bargain price of six thousand gold soul coins, buying it would be a huge profit.
