Lin Bai’s smile was still very simple and honest. That was what he thought.
Shangguan Mengchen’s eldest brother was a violent mage. Lin Bai did not even use his detection skill to check him out. He greeted him in a simple and honest manner, “You guys are here.”
Shangguan’s second brother was a rare battle pet hunter, and his battle pet was a Primordial Golden Mastiff.
[Primordial Golden Mastiff (Battle Pet): Primordial Beast]
[Battle Pet Talent: A/-]
[Battle Pet Skill 1: Detect (Sense the atmosphere of the battlefield and catch the wind and shadow)]
[Battle Pet Skill 2: Fight With All Your Might (Fearless. Even if you encounter an Ancient Dragon, you will not retreat. You will activate the blood battle status and fight to the death.)]
[Battle Pet Skill 3: …]
[Battle Pet Skill 10: Evolution (Perhaps one day, the battle pet will evolve automatically and possess the next more powerful skill)]
Lin Bai knew how powerful this type of battle pet was, especially the skill [Detect], which was ten thousand times stronger than the sixth sense of a warrior.
The Primordial Golden Mastiff arrived at the alley. Its nose kept twitching, as if it had sensed the tense atmosphere in the air.
The aura left behind by the Frost Dragon was very strong, especially the kind that was a little cold. The Primordial Golden Mastiff could definitely smell it.
Lin Bai looked at the majestic Primordial Golden Mastiff and couldn’t help but praise, “Some people say that it’s a joke for one mastiff to fight ten tigers. We should really let them see the breeze of the Primordial Golden Mastiff.”

This Primordial Golden Mastiff was an exotic beast that dropped from a boss I caught in a Level 15 dungeon. Unfortunately, it only has an A-rank talent.”
Lin Bai’s heart skipped a beat. He glanced at the other people who were examining the foreigners’ bodies and asked, “What are the requirements to evolve?”
“You’ve seen that guy with S-rank talent before, right?” Second Brother Shangguan asked with a frown.
“Yes,” Lin Bai nodded.
“Who’s the other party?” Second Brother asked immediately.
“I don’t know,” Lin Bai shook his head.
“What is his familiar?” Second Brother asked again.
“I didn’t want to tell you because I was afraid you’d be depressed, but since you asked, “Lin Bai said, “A Frost Dragon with an SS-rank talent.”
What?
The rest of the people ran over together. As an assassin, Third Brother Shangguan was shocked speechless by the news.
S-rank talent was their estimated talent ceiling. How did an SS-rank talent appear?
“And the Frost Dragon seems to be able to continue evolving,” Lin Bai continued.
What he said was half true and half false. Since the Primordial Golden Mastiff could evolve, he felt that he would be able to open up the ceiling of beastmasters in the future.
However, he could not be completely sure.
Second Brother Shangguan thought for a while and asked in confusion, “But if a person with such a powerful familiar can still evolve it, that’s a little unreasonable.”
Lin Bai was unmoved.
“Then it’s probably because this familiar’s method of obtaining it is different from yours.” Eldest Brother Shangguan instructed, “You guys can talk first. These people are basically on our must-kill list. We need to compare them strictly and hand them in immediately.”
But he reminded Lin Bai to be careful. “Next, the other party will definitely send an even stronger team. If you’re placed on the must-kill list, it’ll be difficult for you to fight against them with your current level.”
“That’s true,” Lin Bai said. “But if necessary, I’ll get someone to kill them.”
The few of them quickly looked at each other and smiled to express their satisfaction.
Lin Bai was very satisfied.
Eldest Brother Shangguan took a pile of corpses back to report on his mission. Second Brother and Third Brother Shangguan threw him a bundle.
“You’ve made a great contribution by getting rid of this group of people. This is the reward that our guild will give you according to the bounty order. It’s necessary to give them some,” Second Brother Shangguan reminded.
“I’ve already given them to you,” Lin Bai smiled.
Oh?
Lin Bai said, “They’re saving up free skill points. However, I don’t have that. I only gave you a little bit that they can’t use.”
The two brothers were a little shocked.
Free skill points, that was something that even max-level players didn’t have.
“What’s the opponent’s level?” Second Brother Shangguan asked hurriedly.
“The newbie just completed his class change,” Lin Bai said.

Lin Bai bade the two of them farewell and walked back at a steady pace. He thought about it on the way – he couldn’t stay in the hotel forever, so he had to find a better place to settle down.
The housing price in Azure City wasn’t low, but with his current ability, even if he cleared all the dungeons, he would be able to buy a house before Level 30. The key was whether he would live alone or with Su Ling’er.
As a genius of Azure High School, he had a separate dormitory in the school, just like the graduate dormitories on Earth. This had formed a habit, which was that he was not used to living with others.
While Lin Bai was thinking about these things, Third Brother Shangguan followed him invisibly.
“This kid didn’t contact anyone, nor did he open his bag to take a look. Is he really shrewd, or does he really not have such ‘complicated’ social relations?!” Third Brother Shangguan formed a team with his two older brothers and spoke in the team.
“I think this kid must have bought the equipment from the beastmaster,” Second Brother Shangguan guessed, “and with his current strength, he’s not strong enough to carry Su Ling’er through the epic difficulty of the two-player dungeon.”
“We’ve also investigated Su Ling’er. With her current strength, it’s impossible for her to support Lin Bai to clear the epic difficulty instance dungeon. So, the warrior should be someone else.” Eldest Brother Shangguan also reported, “It’s more likely for the few warriors that we’re paying attention to. One of them has already cleared the Level 3 dungeon alone. He’s very strong and his equipment is indeed better.”
“Do the alchemists have any suspects?”
Eldest Brother Shangguan had a headache. “There’s almost no suspects at all,” he said.
This was even more troublesome.
They didn’t say anything for a while. At midnight, Lin Bai returned to the hotel and saw Su Ling’er sitting at the door. He gave her a look.
Su Ling’er nodded her head in understanding and continued chatting with a few unfamiliar guests.
At this moment, a city-wide announcement rang out in Azure City.
[City-wide announcement: The Guild of Light and other foreign guilds, as well as domestic and foreign cooperative guilds, have violated Azure City’s social regulations and attempted to commit murder in the southern industrial park of the city. They have been killed by the patrol. This is an announcement to warn the others!]
[City-wide martial law: From today onwards, anyone who secretly stalks a professional newbie and tries to use illegal means to threaten or bribe him will be executed, no matter who they are!]
[Xia Country’s warning order: From today onwards, all foreign, domestic, and branch guilds, as well as domestic guilds with foreign investments, are not allowed to have any members who are not recognized by Xia Country on the list of members. Once they appear, they will be arrested immediately. If they dare to resist, they will be killed without mercy!]
At the same time, the news in Azure City also reported what had just happened.
Of course, it was a selective report. It was impossible to report the real battle and the results in full detail.
