Everyone's become an adventurer, so who's going to put in the effort themselves?

"So this is it."

Lilia sighed upon hearing this, but didn't stop Lynn. Anyway, he'd know whether he should specialize or not once he hit a wall.

"Since you have an idea, then go for it."

"But before that, you should take advantage of this mission to think carefully about how to allocate your energy."

"Would you like to consider this during this mission?" Lynn raised an eyebrow and then looked at the mission list in his hand.

After thinking for a moment, he put away the task sheet and said calmly:

"Then let's try to go and come back as early as possible."

-----------------

It was almost 10 p.m.

On the top of a small hill in the city, Lynn, with Lilia, finally found No. 22, Glory Road, East Street.

Lynn couldn't help but complain about this:

"What do you mean by 'Number 21 is at the foot of the mountain, but Number 22 is at the top'?"

"The altitude difference is four or five hundred meters. Are the people who assigned the numbering stupid?"

"I don't know if it's stupid or not, but I feel that if I don't hurry, I might not be able to go to bed before 11 o'clock."

Lilia muttered a complaint:

"Getting enough sleep is essential for ensuring the quality of life for the next generation!"

Upon hearing this, Lynn clicked his tongue, flicked the task list in his hand, looked at the black iron gate in front of him, looked left and right, and found the magic mirror on the right.

Then, Lynn placed his hand, bearing the holy mark, on the magic mirror.

Not long after, a clear, cold voice came from the magic mirror:

[This is the Drug Research Institute. Who are you looking for?]

Lynn recognized the voice, but quickly replied:

"We are adventurers who have accepted a mission and have come to report to Researcher Xiao Lin."

[Oh? Someone's already accepted that quest?]

The person on the other side of the magic mirror seemed quite surprised as well:

[Okay, come in. Remember to bring your task list.]

After saying that,

With a humming vibration, the doors of the research institute slowly opened.

Seeing this, Lynn exchanged a glance with Lilia, and then they stepped through the door together.

Upon entering the lobby on the first floor, Lynn suddenly heard footsteps from above.

He looked up and froze when he saw the little girl in the black gothic dress standing above him.

"Lina, how could it be you?!"

At this moment, Lina, who was observing the entrance from a high vantage point, raised an eyebrow slightly, but said with a strange expression:

"I thought it was someone from the Dragon Blood Family who had been to too many brothels and was trying to make some extra money here."

"So it was you, you little rascal?"

At this point, Lina pouted and said:

"Tsk! What bad luck!"

"Now, some of the things we prepared might not be needed."

Chapter 109 Have you ever heard of the Dragon attribute?

Hearing Lina complain that some of the prepared methods were no longer needed, Lynn was not annoyed at all; instead, he laughed.

"What a coincidence, we've met again so soon."

"And it was me who accepted the task you posted."

Lynn looked up at Lina and asked the gothic Lolita girl curiously:

"By the way, where did you borrow the name Xiao Lin from?"

"Xiao Lin, Xiao Na, Xiao En, and Na Bei are all names I use for external research."

Lina looked down at Lynn and Lilia, her blue eyes lowered, and said calmly:

"Who would be foolish enough to use their real name when assigning tasks to those associations?"

Her attitude was as if she were talking about some trivial basic skill, and then she chuckled:

"Besides, with this pseudonym, as long as the person who comes to accept the task gives their name, I can know which regional association accepted the order, which makes it easier for me to investigate the responsibility afterward."

Lina glanced at Lynn as she spoke, and said in a condescending tone:

"Kid, when you're out and about, having multiple aliases is a basic skill for any adventurer, understand?"

"But you, why do you take on research assignments all the time?"

Lina raised her eyebrows, exuding a natural air of heroism, but to Lynn, she gave off the illusion of being a visionary elementary school teacher.

"That girl, Xia, didn't she arrange your studies properly? How could she let you wander around like this late at night?"

"besides...."

Lina glanced at Lilia, who was standing next to Lynn, no more than a meter away from him.

Upon seeing that it was a girl with a similar figure and clothing style, she immediately showed a speechless expression:

"You guys in Knightworth, you never seem to lack female study buddies anywhere you go!"

Upon hearing this, Lynn shrugged, spread his hands, and gave an innocent look.

Lilia, however, after glancing at Lina, who was small in stature but possessed a powerful aura, at the top of the stairs, couldn't help but turn her head to look at Lynn:

Who is she?

Lynn looked over in surprise upon hearing this, and asked in confusion:

"Lina, the pharmacist, must be a very famous pharmacist in Mona City, don't you know her?"

"Is that Lina? Is she really that short?"

Lilia covered her mouth, looking shocked:

"Wasn't she supposed to be a very mature and sexy older woman?"

"Has she become young again?"

Lina frowned, glanced at Lilia, and said with displeasure:

"Hey you little dwarf, who are you calling short?"

"Also, who spread rumors that I'm a sexy older sister?"

"I don't recall ever smiling at any man outside."

"You don't even deny that you're the older sister?" Lynn keenly sensed the key point and looked at Lina, who had the body of a loli but the heart of a mature woman, with a hint of hesitation.

Miss Lina, it seems your self-perception is a little off?

Hearing Lynn's teasing, Lina glanced at him and gave a cold laugh:

"At your age, if I try my best, I can give birth to your grandfather."

Upon hearing this, Lynn blinked and raised her hand in the traditional "Wishing you prosperity" gesture:

"Greetings, Great-Grandmother!"

"Grandmother, will you give me a red envelope?"

Lina glanced at Lynn with a look of disgust, then casually flipped her hand, revealing a gold card, which she threw directly at Lynn.

"There's a million-dollar limit in the card, feel free to use it as you like."

Lynn caught the Red Dragon Merchant Guild gold card with the dragon's image on it with a snap, and was immediately stunned.

Lilia, who was standing nearby, was also shocked: "No, she really gave it to me!"

Lilia got a million dollars just by saying a lucky word! She wanted to say that too!

"Great-Grandmother, may I also say auspicious words?" Lilia pointed to herself and asked with a hopeful look.

Seeing the little girl's disappointing attitude, Lina clicked her tongue and tossed another card at her, saying:

"You wives of dragon blood families really have no shame at all."

Lilia, who accepted the gold card, pretended not to hear Lina's sarcasm.

What's wrong with the sugar daddy's mom saying a few words? A seemingly harmless but actually hurtful scolding can earn you a million yuan. 999% of people in the world would be willing to do that!

"Greetings, Lady Lina! Long live Lady Lina!!"

Lynn smiled as he looked at the sycophantic Lilia.

What made Lynn even angrier was that Lilia actually handed him the card.

"What's going on here?" Lynn asked, suppressing a laugh as he looked at Lilia.

At this moment, Lilia blinked and said:

"I'll beg for money to support you!"

in an instant,

Lynn suddenly felt that raising a phantom might not be such a bad thing after all.

However, their conversation stung Lina on the stairs:

"Are those two little ones still trying to make money off me and show off their love?"

"That's really disrespectful to the elderly."

Lina pursed her lips, then took out a folding fan and tapped it on the railing beside her, making a few crisp tapping sounds:

"Alright, if you want to flirt, go to your room and do it yourself. You can also sleep with her while you're at it."

"This is the time I'm allotted for research."

At this moment, Lina glanced at Lynn, who was still holding the task list in his hand, and narrowed her eyes:

"Since you've accepted the mission, don't blame me for studying you thoroughly within the permitted limits."

"If you're prepared, bring the list with you. Subject 97!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Lina turned around and walked straight to the corridor on the second floor.

Lynn shrugged upon hearing this, but still took the list and gold card and chased after them.

Before catching up, he took Lilia's hand and pulled her along to keep up with Lina's pace.

"Oh dear, oh dear~" Lilia was led around with a smile, her smile never stopping the whole time.

After Lynn caught up with Lina, he glanced at the back of Lina's head and asked curiously:

Before we begin the research, may I ask what kind of research it is?

Without turning her head, Lina said impatiently:

"Didn't it say it's a fire-attribute elite-level skill? Why are you asking so many questions?"

Lynn blinked, suddenly sensing something was off; Lina seemed unwilling to explain the details of the skill.

"How am I supposed to know what to do later if I don't ask clearly?"

Lina became even more impatient: "You don't need to do anything, just try to activate that skill."

“I’ve already confirmed that it’s safe. I can’t risk offending the Dragonblood Clan by letting you experiment with something dangerous.”

"Lilia, let's go."

As Lynn spoke, he pulled Lilia and started to walk back:
