Chapter 27: Facing the Golden Boss! The Dark Hand Tree King!
What the hell!
What?!
Top-tier mutated pet?
Am I right?
Wang Hai and Zhang Long exchanged a glance, both looking shocked and envious.
Su Lin also raised an eyebrow.
Top-grade mutation.
These four words are enough to be equated with priceless!
Such a pet is extremely rare and hard to come by. Ordinary people would never even see it in their lifetime, let alone own one. Its value cannot be measured in monetary terms.
After all, a good pet can become a professional's most trusted partner and most capable assistant, and its role is immeasurable.
Only the young master of Xingyue Trading Company would dare to say such a thing. If it were anyone else, Su Lin wouldn't believe it.
"He's willing to take this gamble, so he must be thinking of apologizing. No wonder he's from a prestigious family; he's shrewd!"
Su Lin was even more satisfied.
He has the ability to humiliate Jiang Feng by trampling him in the mud, but the only reward for that momentary pleasure would be a mortal enemy.
Now, Jiang Feng has had his moment of pain and his anger has been vented. With just one sentence, not only has he turned an enemy into a friend, but he also has a top-quality mutated beast pet to take away. This is a real benefit!
"Alright, let's make this bet. Coincidentally, I'm actually missing a beast pet for my contract slot, but the requirements are a bit unusual, and you might not be able to satisfy me."
Su Lin readily agreed.
He had no reason not to agree to such a gamble that was practically free.
The only problem is that he has a very important requirement for the beast pet contract, which is that the starting point must be low, only E-rank.
However, it's not a big deal.
If the other party has a high-level one, that would be even better. If I don't need it, I can give it to that girl Lin Qingli!
Upon hearing Su Lin's words, Jiang Yuyao, who was standing to the side, spoke earnestly:
"Don't worry, Su. As long as your request isn't for some legendary mythical beast that can't be found anywhere in the world, as long as it exists in reality, our Jiang family will do our best to find it for you!"
These words stunned not only Wang Hai and Zhang Long, but also Jiang Feng and Su Lin.
Good guy!
This is something we'll do at any cost!
"Well... Sister... it's not that I'm not sincere, it's just that mutated pets are something you can only come across by chance, so let's not make any promises too easily."
Jiang Feng scratched his head awkwardly.
Jiang Yuyao didn't explain further: "What are you afraid of? As long as you win, that's all that matters."
"..."
Jiang Feng fell silent.
Okay, I'd better think about how to make my dad bleed a lot when I get back.
"Haha, don't worry, I'm not shameless, I won't go too far. Besides, School Beauty Jiang is right, the competition hasn't even started yet, so you might not necessarily lose."
Su Lin smiled, then stroked his chin: "However, your bet is so big, what should I do if I lose...?"
For a moment, he really didn't know what to take out.
After all, the stakes offered by the other party were too high, and he simply couldn't offer an equivalent amount.
"That's easy."
Jiang Yuyao added, "Su Lin, if you lose, be our teammate during the college entrance exam."
"teammate?"
Su Lin was taken aback: "That's not right, isn't the college entrance exam an individual competition?"
"Didn't Lord Jiang tell you?" Jiang Yuyao glanced at him.
Su Lin shook his head: "I haven't gone home yet after I finished awakening."
"That's right."
Jiang Yuyao said, "This year's college entrance examination is a bit special, with two modes: individual and team. Both are very important, and I heard that the top scorer in this year's college entrance examination will receive extremely generous rewards."
"I know that if we team up, you'll definitely be with Sister Qingli, but it's okay. The college entrance exam requires teams of five, and it's a joint exam for all schools in Jiangyang City. We can team up, so there won't be any conflict."
"I see."
Su Lin suddenly realized and gave Jiang Yuyao a deep look.
As expected of the Jiang family, they are very well-informed. They even managed to get wind of such highly confidential matters as the college entrance examination rules in advance.
Although this news may seem unimportant, in reality, such a powerful family can manipulate it in countless ways!
Putting aside everything else, Jiang Yuyao and Jiang Feng always have an escort when they go out to level up. In the college entrance exam team mode, how could the Jiang family not help find some strong teammates?
It seems that no matter which world you go to, there is no absolute fairness.
Fortunately, I have connections and terrifying strength, so relax.
"Okay, I'll agree. If I lose, I'll team up with you guys."
Su Lin didn't hesitate much; this kind of bet was practically free.
After all, the siblings are S-rank and SS-rank respectively, so even if I look for someone else, it will be difficult to find such powerful professionals.
Of course, the benefits are even greater for Jiang Yuyao!
If the younger brother wins, he can get Su Lin, a powerful teammate, to protect him during the college entrance examination; if he loses, he can use this as an excuse to give a generous gift to repair their relationship.
All I can say is that she truly lives up to her reputation as the little princess of the business empire; she knows how to do business and never loses money no matter what!
"But even without me, your grades wouldn't be bad, right?"
Su Lin was puzzled as to why Jiang Yuyao only wanted to form a team when she could have taken the opportunity to make demands for greater benefits.
"We can certainly not be teammates, but I'd rather not be your opponent."
Jiang Yuyao smiled gently.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Feng, Zhang Long, and Wang Hai all agreed wholeheartedly.
Su Lin understood.
It's afraid of its own Xuanjia Shield Turtle.
I understand, it's only human nature.
"By the way, you said the rewards for this year's college entrance exam are very generous, do you know what they are?"
Su Lin asked again.
"This is top secret, and no one knows about it yet. My father only said that the reward for this year's top scorer in the college entrance examination is extremely valuable, and that we must do everything we can to win first place. We were confident before, but..."
At this point, Jiang Yuyao glanced at Su Lin.
Jiang Feng also let out a long sigh.
Clearly, they all understood that although Su Lin's Xuanjia Shield Turtle was only Rank C, as its level increased, the gap between them might narrow, and it might even be overtaken by them.
But at this stage, a terrifying being that can deal over 2,000 damage per second and has such a thick shield that it's impossible to see through is a BOSS-level being!
This kind of presence, once it appears in the college entrance examination hall.
A group of students with an average grade of no more than 20 have almost no chance of winning, whether they fight one-on-one or in a group.
If I had to describe it in four words, it would definitely be... a dimensional reduction attack!
"Alright, stop looking at me like that. We might become teammates, after all."
Su Lin waved his hand.
At the same time, he was secretly alarmed.
Jiang Yuyao's words seemed to say nothing, but in fact they contained a great deal of information.
Putting everything else aside, just consider the fact that the Jiang family patriarch, the God of Wealth who controls the Xingyue Trading Company's branches, described the top scholar's reward as "extremely valuable," even to the point that his children were willing to pay any price to obtain it!
What does this mean?
It's absolutely astonishing, the kind of rare treasure that only a nation-level power could afford to produce!
It seems I absolutely cannot be low-key in this college entrance examination; I must get first place!
While Su Lin and the Jiang siblings remained silent...
"Well, the three of you, since you've all agreed, let's move on."
Seeing that the investor and the big shot were having a great chat, Wang Hai and Zhang Long were also in high spirits and couldn't wait to speak.
"walk!"
Su Lin snapped out of his daze and nodded.
Now that he knew that the top scorer in the college entrance examination would receive a treasure reward, he couldn't let go of any opportunity to improve his abilities and had to cherish his time even more.
With a wave of his hand, the Xuanjia Shield Turtle continued to crawl forward.
Don't let its small size and seemingly slow speed fool you; at this moment, it's no different from a powerful bulldozer, sweeping everything in its path with incredible speed and power!
"Boom boom boom!"
What happened next was very simple.
In just five minutes, the group advanced several hundred meters, killing more than a dozen ordinary monsters and two elite monsters.
At this time, the Xuanjia Shield Turtle's evolution points reached 95, just one step away from breaking through to the B-rank.
Su Lin and his group of five finally faced the final monster king of this dungeon!
Gold-level BOSS!
The Dark Thousand-Handed Tree King!!
