59 -59: Offering a Reward for Help, Ten Thousand per Character_1

Lin Baici’s current feeling was like being in a chat group in the middle of the night where someone suddenly posts pictures of barbecue, beer, and hotpot out of nowhere, saying they’re having a late-night snack.

It was incredibly annoying.

[Buy, buy, buy, buy all these Taboo things!]

Eater God was excited, like a woman who had just received her paycheck and opened Taobao, wanting to buy everything but unable to make a decision.

“Easy for you to say, do I have money?”

Lin Baici felt like rolling his eyes.

[Go earn it.

Your face and body are very valuable, there are plenty of wealthy women who would want you.]

Eater God’s evaluation of Lin Baici’s body was quite high.

As long as he had no shame, he could live off a sugar mama until he was sick of it.

Lin Baici didn’t want to entertain Eater God anymore and casually clicked on a post.

“Help, this should be a Taboo thing, but it hasn’t been sealed by the Black Coffin for five years, yet it hasn’t caused any rule pollution.

Does anyone know what’s going on?”

The poster added three pictures of an antique that looked like a chamber pot, taken from different angles.

Finally, there was the monetary reward, fifty thousand yuan.

The reward period was one month, and as of today, only ten days had passed.

There were replies below, a total of seven, in the “only the poster can see” mode, so there was no way to know if anyone had given the right answer.

“Xia team, is it true that we can get 50,000 yuan for answering this question?”

Lin Baici was still somewhat incredulous; after all, this method of making money was too fast.

“Absolutely.”

Xia Hongyao glanced at the screen of Lin Baici’s smartphone: “No matter the era, ‘information’ is always very valuable.”

“You think fifty thousand yuan is a lot, but for the poster, if they don’t know about this Taboo thing, it’s junk.

But if they find out, it can be flipped for a lot of money!”

“Hmm.”

Lin Baici nodded, “If I answered their question, how would I get the money?”

“The poster has already transferred the money to the forum’s account.

Once they confirm your answer is correct, the poster will notify the moderator to transfer the money to you.”

Xia Hongyao explained, “Don’t worry about the poster not acknowledging the correct answer after receiving it, because the moderator will verify it.

To be honest, a few hundred thousand yuan to a God Hunter is just small change.”

“Nobody would risk getting banned over such a small amount of money!”

Lin Baici was too poor; he had not only never seen how billionaires spend money, but he hadn’t even experienced the life of an ordinary rich second-generation.

In hot weather, he would only choose the cheapest ice lollies,

And those rich people?

A bottle of red wine in their liquor cabinet could be worth tens, if not hundreds of thousands of yuan.

With one sip of red wine, they could spend Lin Baici and his mother’s living expenses for a whole year.

Xia Hongyao glanced at the post Lin Baici was looking at and asked curiously, “Do you know why this Taboo thing isn’t radiating rule pollution?”

“I don’t know!”

Lin Baici shook his head.

“I think you don’t know either!”

Xia Hongyao wasn’t a top student, but she had studied hard.

During her time studying at the headquarters of the Security Bureau, she had read all the literature in the large library.

Among them were quite a few about God’s ruins and Taboo things.

Xia Hongyao could earn those few rewards purely because she read a lot, and it had nothing to do with deduction.

Lin Baici, a high school student who had never come across any related content before, definitely wouldn’t know.

She decided to slowly teach him and make up for the lack of knowledge.

Xia Hongyao prepared to leave, intending to sort out some basic materials to send to him first.

‘But I have Eater God!’

Lin Baici browsed through posts; those with a lot of reward money didn’t need a second look—they were definitely difficult.

After all, nobody is a sucker, offering easy questions for others to make money off of.

At the front of each post was the specific reward amount; Lin Baici opened a few and browsed casually.

Even though he didn’t know the answers, it was quite enlightening.

There really was a great variety of Taboo things.

“Help, does anyone know the meaning of the patterns in these three pictures?”

The reward was ten thousand yuan for each picture.

The reward period was two months; as of today, fifty-six days had passed.

Lin Baici looked at the contents of the pictures, which were unintelligible, like occult symbols.

He was about to close the post when Eater God spoke up.

[Dragon], [Sword], [River].

Lin Baici’s finger, about to close the post, hesitated.

“Are you saying that the contents of these three pictures are three characters?”

Lin Baici was curious.

Eater God didn’t answer, clearly considering such a question too asinine.

Lin Baici reviewed the three pictures again and didn’t find anything corresponding to those three words, but based on Eater God’s previous performance, its ‘gourmet’ reviews were without a single mistake.

“Should I try answering?”

Lin Baici was somewhat excited.

If he got the answer right, he could make ten thousand yuan per word—that was three months’ salary for his mother.

Lin Baici, newly initiated as a God Hunter, knew nothing of the hunters’ circle and thought he should stay low-key.

But ten thousand yuan for a single word, just for replying to a post?

The money was as good as given away—if he didn’t take it, even the goddess of fortune would roll her eyes and spit disdainfully at Lin Baici.

The goddess herself has given you an opportunity, and you’re not taking it!

“Stay low-key!

Low-key!”

Lin Baici muttered to himself, but his hands were not cooperative, opening the post and replying.

‘The patterns on the three pictures are each a word.

From top to bottom, they are Dragon, Sword, River!’

Lin Baici finished editing and clicked to publish.

Done.

Now waiting to get paid.

“By the way, Captain Xia, should I send my bank account information to you?”

Lin Baici asked Xia Hongyao for guidance.

“Ah?

Did you answer the questions?”

Xia Hongyao, who was playing with her phone, furrowed her brows upon hearing this and looked up at Lin Baici’s screen, “Little Bai, although answering these posts incorrectly won’t result in punishment, it does affect one’s reputation!”

God Hunters cherish their reputations greatly, and if they’re not certain of an answer, they almost never write it down.

They definitely don’t guess answers.

In this section, those who can solve difficult problems are respectfully referred to as experts and are very popular.

“Uh-huh!”

Lin Baici nodded, casually explaining, “The first post, just trying my luck.”

“You…”

Xia Hongyao shook her head but still patiently told Lin Baici where to enter his bank account information.

No, this can’t happen!

Little Linzi is too poor, answering questions recklessly for money, and might even be poached by others with high salaries in the future.

I have to prevent that.

Xia Hongyao decided that as soon as they arrived in Haijing, she would immediately go to her elder sister to claim the one million yuan reward, and also pestle her about the exemption admission spot.

At the very least, she had to start paying Lin Baici a salary.

If it came to it, she would front the money herself.

Xia Hongyao was determined to keep Lin Baici on her team.

Having a beautiful woman for company meant even sitting in silence wouldn’t be boring, not to mention they had many topics to talk about.

Xia Hongyao was optimistic and cheerful, open and straightforward in character.

She treated Lin Baici as both a team member and a friend.

This genuine approach allowed Lin Baici to let go of his last bit of caution and start to see Xia Hongyao as a friend as well.

The G1708 train, after over four hours of travel, arrived at Haijing South Station at 11:40 a.m.

Haijing is a big city to begin with, plus it’s early September, the time when various schools see new students registering and existing students returning to campus, so the train station was swarming with people.

Lin Baici had strong physical fitness, but even so, he was sweating profusely by the time he got off the train and made his way through the ticket barrier.

Xia Hongyao bought two bottles of mineral water from a vending machine and handed one to Lin Baici, “It’s lunchtime.

Let’s eat first, then go to the school.

Otherwise, if you go now, you’ll be busy with all kinds of procedures and won’t have time to eat.”

“The restaurants nearby must be really expensive!”

Lin Baici was thrifty with money.

Xia Hongyao giggled and lowered her voice, “You can claim expenses!”

“If you’re going to say that, I won’t hold back!”

Although Lin Baici’s words seemed like he was about to fleece Xia Hongyao for a meal, in the end, they chose a noodle house and ordered a cold dish, one platter of smoked meat, and two bowls of beef noodles.

“You don’t need to save money for me!”

Xia Hongyao was dumbfounded.

“One should be frugal!”

The cold dish was twenty yuan, the smoked meat platter thirty-eight, and the two bowls of beef noodles eighty, with hardly any meat on them.

All that for 138 yuan—it was painful for Lin Baici to pay.

“I hope you keep this frugal habit even after you get your one million yuan reward!”

Xia Hongyao teased.

After lunch, Lin Baici took the initiative to settle the bill.

It was mainly due to his male pride.

No matter if Xia Hongyao could claim the meal or not, as a man and a friend, especially dining with a girl, it just didn’t seem right to let her pay.

Of course, those women who treat men as walking ATMs, don’t expect Lin Baici to spend even a single penny on them.

“I told you you could claim it!”

Xia Hongyao suddenly felt she couldn’t figure Lin Baici out.

You’d think he loves money, but when treating friends, he’s not stingy, and he doesn’t take advantage of the opportunity to claim trivial expenses like these.

“Next time it’s on you, and it better be a feast!”

Lin Baici laughed heartily.

“Alright, let’s take a taxi to Haijing Polytechnic now!”

Xia Hongyao planned to first drop Lin Baici off at the school to help him with all the procedures, and then return to the security agency.

“No need to trouble yourself, I’ll take the school bus, Captain Xia, goodbye.”

Lin Baici, with his backpack and dragging his suitcase, bade farewell to Xia Hongyao.

Just after lunch, he went to the public restroom, took his luggage out of the Black Tripod Bowl, and was now ready to head to Haijing Polytechnic.

He didn’t want to use Taboo things on campus.

If someone caught him on their cell phone, that would be a disaster.

“I’ll take you!”

Xia Hongyao insisted.

“Taxis are too expensive, the school bus is pretty good, and I might even make some alumni friends!”

On the west side of the train station’s plaza, there were over a dozen buses parked, their bodies bearing the names of their respective schools and red banners welcoming new students.

Very conspicuous.

“Goodbye, Captain Xia, call me if you need anything!”

Lin Baici ran off with his luggage.

“This kid, too much of a stranger!”

Xia Hongyao shook her head with a smile, then walked to the edge of the road, hailed a cab to go to the security agency, and claim Lin Baici’s reward money.

Over at the bus side, there were already many students around.

When Lin Baici approached, several school sisters responsible for welcoming new students immediately turned their attention to him.

This guy is really good-looking.

Wonder which school he’s from?

Probably an art school student, right?
