Chapter 113 Tips from the Treasure Hunting Rat
Although the conditions offered by Lin Minsheng were very tempting, she not only accepted the apprenticeship ceremony, but also knocked down her three senior brothers.
Now that the spirit beast has made a contract and one piece of protective equipment has been destroyed, how can one regret it as much as he wants? She had no choice but to refuse with tears in her eyes.
When Lin Minsheng saw that she still refused to accept him as his teacher, and did not mention whether she would be promoted to the third year of high school, he just told her to get out. He probably didn't want to see her anymore recently.
Lin Manman found Xia Ming when he got home and asked him what he knew about the affairs between Lin Minsheng and Meng Wenbin.
"Both Mr. Lin and Mr. Meng were top powerhouses in the early days. It's just that unlike Mr. Meng, he doesn't like to take care of things and doesn't have much pursuit."
"Lin refused the alliance when he was young and did not join any force. He just led a team to explore the secret realm with his wife."
"Although Mr. Lin has not joined the alliance, he has made a lot of contributions to the alliance. Therefore, when he announced that he would no longer be exploring, the alliance would grant him the position of honorary elder."
"But he rejected it. Later I heard that he traveled with his wife. As for when he came to Jinling and became the principal of Jinling High School, I'm not sure."
"When Mr. Meng came to Jinling, I didn't follow him at first. It was later that he called me to Jinling when he found me useful."
"I have been with the young lady since then, so I don't know much about what happened between Mr. Meng and Mr. Lin."
Lin Manman looked at Xia Ming suspiciously, but the other party still looked at her with a slight smile.
Judging from her experience with Xia Ming during this period, Xia Ming was a person who seldom talked nonsense. Today she just asked him if he knew about the relationship between Lin Minsheng and Meng Wenbin.
He said so much, and although it couldn't be said to be nonsense, it still felt like he didn't say anything at all.
And wasn't he really secretly belittling Mr. Lin?
Is it telling her that compared to Lin Minsheng, who has no ambitions, Meng Wenbin not only has a strong background, but is also a person with more goals and pursuits, and is more suitable to be her teacher?
Lin Manman nodded hesitantly. She couldn't become Lin Minsheng's teacher anyway, so it didn't matter how much she knew about him.
"Miss... the business of the spirit animal shop is getting better and better recently. If school is out, you should try to come back as early as possible to take a look."
When Lin Manman turned to leave, Xia Ming suddenly spoke to her.
She saw that the number of scattered customers in the spirit beast shop had indeed increased recently. In addition to Xia Ming and the other two people in the shop, Qiu Xiangjing's wife often came to help.
So she nodded, indicating that she understood.
She turned around and went to the underground training room, because when she went to school during the day, Brother Flathead and the others were too big to follow.
Later, she saw that there were very few opportunities for her to do anything in practical classes, so she simply left them all at home for training, taking turns to only take two in the spiritual pet space every day.
Today she brought Hongyu and Amber. After she released Hongyu and Amber and fed them food, the treasure-hunting mouse Ruyi came close to her and squeaked.
Since the treasure-hunting rat itself was not very powerful and was a gangster, Lin Manman never brought it to school. She just asked it not to be exposed in front of others and left him at home.
Putting it at home also hopes that it can have more space to move. You can't always keep it in the spiritual pet space and let it practice silently. Compared with keeping it in a cage before, how much better will it be?
"What? You mean, you sensed the treasure that the customer asked the treasure hunter to recover from the customer who came to buy the spirit beast?"
The information Ruyi told Lin Manman made her frown. The Treasure Rat and the Treasure Hunter should have been traced to the Huaishui District based on the information given by that person, which is the area where Lin Manman and the others lived before.
It's just that there is a big distance between the Lingshui District where they are now and the area where they lived before. How could this person appear here again?
"At what time did you sense it?" Lin Manman asked the Treasure Hunter with a frown. She planned to check the surveillance to see what kind of person he was.
"Squeak, squeak..."
"You said you came here more than once?" Lin Manman was shocked.
Come to buy spiritual beasts more than once? What's going on?
Ruyi nodded. In fact, it didn't want to have anything to do with the treasure hunter from the past, but this man came to buy spiritual beasts more than once, and it was worried about whether it would bring trouble to Lin Manman.
Lin Manman couldn't figure it out, so he simply picked up Ruyi and stuffed it into his pocket. Fortunately, Ruyi, like Xiao Qi, only upgrades but does not grow taller. She can easily hide it on her body and make it difficult for others to notice.
Taking the treasure-hunting mouse Ruyi all the way back to the lobby of the spirit animal store, she did not bother Xia Ming, but chose to ask Qiu Xiangjing to learn about the situation.
"Uncle Qiu, have any customers come here repeatedly to buy spiritual beasts recently?"
Qiu Xiangjing was stunned by her question, frowned and thought about it carefully, then shook his head. "No, there are occasionally one or two repeat customers, but they always bring others to buy."
As he said that, he opened the purchase record and showed it to Lin Manman. It contained the information of people who came to the spirit beast store to purchase alone during this period.
Lin Manman checked it carefully and found that there was nothing suspicious.
She told Qiu Xiangjing without leaving a trace that she just wanted to know about the recent operations of the spirit animal store and had nothing else to do.
Then she took Ruyi back to her room on the third floor.
I turned on the main control computer in the room and checked the surveillance images from these days.
Ruyi stood on her shoulder and pointed it out to her. Soon one person and one pet found the suspicious person.
Lin Manman discovered that this person had appeared in the past week, and he would disguise himself every time he came over. Sometimes he came alone, and sometimes he came with others.
This week, a total of eight spiritual beasts have been bought by this person.
This is very suspicious. Generally, when a beast master buys spiritual beasts, it is impossible to purchase so many spiritual beasts in a short period of time, because even if there are new spiritual pet positions to contract after the level is exceeded, it is impossible to exceed three.
If you buy so many of them in a short period of time, do you still have to keep them for fun if you can't get a contract?
Therefore, the spiritual beasts this person purchased were not for contracted spiritual pets at all.
Reminiscent of the overseas organization that was eradicated by Wu Anbang before. They were conducting experiments on spiritual beasts. Is there any connection between this person and that organization? Are the people arrested before not all of this organization?
Lin Manman shook her head. Even if this person bought so many spiritual beasts, they were not necessarily used for experimental research. How could she subconsciously connect them?
And didn’t Wu Anbang make it clear that this organization has been eradicated and all the people on the organization’s list have been arrested?
But if it is not for experimental research, why do we need to purchase so many spiritual beasts in a short period of time?
Lin Manman really couldn't figure out the reason. After much deliberation, she could only ask Xia Ming for help and ask him to check this person's movements.
