After staying in the Thunder Team for two nights and one day, Lin Xiao was ready to go home.
But early in the morning, he suddenly received a remittance amount.
The large series of numbers inside made his head feel dizzy.
124,000,000, one hundred and twenty-four million.
Although I knew I had made a lot of money this time, it was too much, and could Legion sell the material so quickly?
Out of confusion, Lin Xiao approached Captain Lei Ming.
"That's the advance payment after the legion's valuation, and it's normal for you to have this kind of income..." Captain Lei Ming chuckled while eating breakfast:
"For the two B-class ant queens, I'll give you 60%, and for the lava dragon lizard, I'll give you 90%. Plus those hypnotic beasts, all of them will be credited to you."
"Your income from this mission actually exceeds that of many B-level hunters."
"... Is this sharing really good?" Lin Xiao hesitated and said, "Captain, wouldn't that mean everyone's income would be much less?"
"It's very reasonable to share according to the credit!" Lei Ming shook his head and said, "And don't care too much about money, as long as that kind of thing is enough."
"For example, Jiang Jing and A Bin fought against the C-level beasts you hypnotized. Although they had no money, they gained safety...and faster progress."
"Nothing is more valuable to a hunter than these two things."
"Another example is the Lava Dragon Lizard this time. Although you got 90%, you minimized the risk of this mission."
"That dragon lizard is very strong..." Lei Ming looked into Lin Xiao's eyes and said, "For me, Le Suxin, and Sun Ke, the safe completion of the mission is countless times more important than the reward."
"Besides, if you can't buy many things yourself, then no matter how much money you have, it's of no use..." Lei Ming took a sip of soy milk and said with a smile:
"For example, the spiritual liquid for newcomers, you can buy it through legion channels for 1 million, right?"
"Yes..." Lin Xiao nodded.
"The purchase price of those billionaires is never less than 100 million!" Captain Lei Ming raised his eyebrows at Lin Xiao and said:
"And the supply exceeds the demand every time. After all, it can increase life span. For the rich, it is worth spending any money."
"Then reselling won't happen?" Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment.
"It has happened. If it's just one or two bottles, it's fine. If there are too many, the hunter will be expelled from the legion and the hunter association."
"Each of us actually has a hidden purchase limit, which is related to your usual performance in hunting exotic beasts."
"After all, the source of the spiritual fluid is extracted from the bodies of alien beasts, and every hunter is a supplier of raw materials."
Captain Lei Ming lowered his voice and said slightly mysteriously:
"Moreover, the amount of spiritual liquid purchased by our wolf pack will be much higher than that of other legions."
"...Because our leader is Transcendent A Grade?" Lin Xiao asked curiously.
"No..." Lei Ming shook his head slightly and said with a smile:
"I heard that our leader contributed a technology patent to make the Hunter Association's spiritual liquid refining technology more comprehensive and mature."
technology patent? More comprehensive and mature?
Is this like the perfection of the power refining method and the weaponization of power, which enriches the knowledge treasure of all mankind?
Unexpectedly, Captain Lake had made such a huge social contribution... Lin Xiao was slightly shocked.
I don’t know if this is a technology invented by the leader herself, or... she got it while exploring the secret realm?
…
"Mom! I'm back!"
As soon as they got home, their mother and Shanshan ran out of the kitchen. They were probably having breakfast.
Lin Qingrong held Lin Xiao's shoulders and looked around him carefully. After discovering that her son was indeed not missing any parts, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Xiao found that his mother's brows had been frowning unconsciously, and her eyes were slightly bloodshot. She probably hadn't slept well for many days.
"...Mom, I'm fine."
"It's okay, come over and have breakfast."
Lin Qingrong forced a smile and walked slowly back to the kitchen.
Lin Xiao looked at Shanshan. Today is the weekend and she doesn't have to go to class.
At this time, the girl was looking at him calmly. Her face was obviously much more relaxed now than when she first saw him.
Lin Xiao stretched out his hand, put his arm around the girl's shoulders, and asked softly:
"Is mom worried about me?"
"Well..." Lin Shanshan nodded and whispered:
"She has been suffering from insomnia these days. She just slept peacefully for a while after you reported that she was safe two days ago."
"Yeah..." Lin Xiao was silent for a while, then looked at his little sister and said with a smile:
"What about you? Are you scared too?"
"……right."
Lin Shanshan did not look at Lin Xiao. She lowered her head with no expression on her face.
"Well...I know," Lin Xiao took a deep breath and said with a smile:
"Let's go... let's go eat!"
…
At the dinner table, after finishing breakfast, Lin Xiao put down his bowls and chopsticks and said:
"Mom, Shanshan..."
The mother and daughter looked at Lin Xiao and saw that his eyes were shining with moon-white light.
"You have to believe me, I am very strong, and strange beasts are no match for me."
Looking into his family's eyes, Lin Xiao said warmly:
"No matter how long the hunter's mission lasts, I will definitely come back safely..."
A few moments.
"Oh..." Lin Shanshan responded lightly.
Lin Qingrong frowned and scolded Lin Xiao sternly: "No matter what! You must pay attention to safety, you know!?"
"Okay, okay!"
After accepting his mother's admonishment with a smile, Lin Xiao's face softened slightly.
[Hypnosis-Lv1: Experience value +2]
This is just the slightest hint, and its effect is probably... to stop them from worrying too much about his safety.
When Lin Xiao went on a mission, his mother and Shanshan were probably having a very bad time.
Fortunately, this mission only lasted about a week. Fortunately, my mother's body had been nourished by the spiritual liquid, otherwise... she would have probably been sick.
If he encounters a task that lasts for several months or even half a year in the future, Lin Xiao cannot even imagine the mental state of his family.
Maybe in a few years or ten years, they will gradually get used to it.
But...Lin Xiao didn't want the two of them to suffer for so long.
His strength is to make them live happily instead of worrying all day long.
…
"Xiao Hei! Come here!"
The dark crow spread its wings and flew briskly onto Lin Qingrong's shoulders.
The angle of its claws was also adjusted, as if it was careful not to scratch the opponent.
"Dumb~"
Xiao Hei tilted his head, rubbed the woman's cheek, and made a cooing sound.
Lin Qingrong pressed the crow's head with satisfaction, picked up the dried meat and started the feeding session.
"Lin Xiao, how did you teach it to be so obedient? It's so clean. Did you give it a bath?"
"Huh huh huh..." Lin Xiao put his hands around his shoulders and said slightly mysteriously:
"Your son's talent as an animal trainer! That's one in a million!"
"Are you still quarreling?" Lin Qingrong glared at him, and then said hesitantly:
"Is it boring? Why don't you go to the pet store and buy another bird... and find it a companion?"
"...Huh?" Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Yes! Not only birds, but also other pets."
"Wouldn't the house become a mess if there are too many?" Lin Qingrong said dissatisfied: "Besides, it will be very troublesome to take care of."
In response, Lin Xiao made an OK gesture and said with a smile:
"I am here! I will definitely teach them to be more sensible than the other!"
These pets can not only bring some fun to mom’s life, but also increase the proficiency of Hypnosis-Lv1.
Just like this crow Xiao Hei, even if the hypnosis is cancelled, what Lin Xiao taught it is still imprinted in its brain like common sense and knowledge.
The more he swipes, the more these pets will learn, ensuring that they are absolutely worry-free, well-behaved, and all of them will be likeable little cotton-padded jackets.
"By the way..." Lin Shanshan swiped her phone and said calmly:
"Crows seem to be able to imitate human speech."
"ah?"
Lin Xiao turned his head and met the eyes of Crow Xiaohei.
One person and one bird, big eyes and small eyes widened.
