[Attachment: Surveillance Video]
Happiness Residential Complex Owners' Group.
As soon as this bounty was posted, it immediately caused an uproar—
Residents began discussing: [Oh my god! A year's worth of survival resources?! And even a Top Grade Spirit Battle Pill?!]
[Quick question, I understand the survival resources, but what's this 'Top Grade Spirit Battle Pill' thing?]
[Are you new here? You don't even know about Spirit Battle Pills?]
[That's an Elixir refined by the great Lin Lang! It can help Espers who've awakened Spirit Combat abilities break through to B-Level!]
[Holy crap!]
[Is it 100% guaranteed to break through to B-Level? Really?!]
[Stop talking nonsense! Anything produced by the great Lin Lang is top-tier!]
[It's absolutely real!]
[If someone else said it, I might think they're exaggerating, but this is Lin Lang we're talking about, the legendary figure of our complex! If he says this pill can make you ascend on the spot, I'd believe it!]
[We have to go for it! This might be the only chance in our lifetime to break through to B-Level!]
[You're right! Let's go!]
[I'm C++ Combat Power! Looking to form a team! DM me if interested!]
[Holy crap! Take me with you! I'm C-Level!]
...
After that, the messages came in thick and fast.
Everyone was forming teams! It seemed like the generous rewards had clouded their judgment!
They didn't even care if their strength was a match!
They just wanted to go for it!
Even.
Some D-Level and C-Level rookies in the group were desperately trying to squeeze themselves into various teams!
They weren't aiming for the main prize! They just wanted a taste of the rewards!
...
Fortunately! A few more level-headed individuals kindly reminded everyone in the group: [Hey, guys! Don't get too excited just because you see the rewards! Take a closer look at the mission details! That's a B-Level Ferocious Beast!]
[Do you know what a B-Level Ferocious Beast means?]
[It could kill you with a sneeze!]
[Those below C-Level, don't even think about joining this mess!]
[Stop dreaming of getting lucky! Stop daydreaming!]
[If you really encounter that Ferocious Beast, the lower your Combat Power, the faster you'll die!]
[If you don't believe me, click on that video and see the difference for yourself!]
...
After this persuasion.
Most of the lower-level Espers finally calmed down.
And gave up on this mission—
No matter how tempting the rewards were.
They weren't meant for them! It was better to stick to hunting lower-level Ferocious Beasts to exchange for resources!...
As for those who continued to form teams.
Either they had solid strength! Or they were dead set on trying their luck no matter what! And among this group was Lu Xiaoxing's older brother, Lu Chaoqiang.
...
Living Room of Unit 103, Building A.
Lu Chaoqiang's eyes were shining with excitement!
This bounty in the group had stirred something deep within him—
Because!
If he could capture that frog!
He could prove his strength!
Then!
He would become a household name in the Happiness Residential Complex!
And his sister would know! That her brother was the most powerful person in the world!
Even Lin Lang!
Would have to acknowledge his superiority!
Thinking of this!
He felt a surge of secret delight in his heart! Not to mention! The year's worth of survival resources!
It would allow his sister to no longer have to humbly beg from Lin Lang! That one Top Grade Spirit Battle Pill!
It could also help him break through to B-grade, greatly increasing his strength!
From then on!
The two siblings would have enough capital to no longer need to rely on anyone!...
His eyes turned red! Finally, he sent out a team recruitment message in the group: [I have C+ grade combat power, ice ability, perfect for countering fire-type Ferocious Beasts!]
As soon as the message went out! He was immediately swarmed by various teams: [Young man, come to me! I'm C++ grade combat power, the highest success rate!]
[Come to us, we're very united!]
[Join us!]
...
In the end.
Lu Chaoqiang chose one of the teams.
But not the one with C++ combat power! Because.
What he wanted wasn't just to complete the task.
But also honor!
So! He had to go to a place! Where no one could overshadow his brilliance!...
At the entrance of Happiness Residential Complex.
Lin Lang was about to head back.
To check on Ning Shuangyu's absorption of the Limit Fruit.
But at that moment.
The people from the Low-Rent Residential Area came over again.
This time, they came in large numbers.
And they were pushing the same flatbed cart from yesterday!
As soon as they saw Lin Lang, they all bowed in unison and shouted:
"Benefactor!"
But Lin Lang just coldly glanced at them.
Not even bothering to give a perfunctory response.
Seeing this.
Their expressions slightly changed—
Not good! It seems this guy's anger hasn't subsided yet!
But!
Didn't they leave that slob here yesterday to apologize?
Wait!
Where is he? At that moment!
They finally noticed the unusual situation here!
So they asked:
"Benefactor, what happened here?"
"Where's that slob from yesterday? Didn't we leave him here to kneel and apologize? Did he dare to leave without permission?"
Lin Lang didn't answer.
But Zhang Dabing said, "That guy was attacked by a Ferocious Beast last night and died."
"What! He's dead?!"
Hearing this news!
They were slightly surprised! But other than that, they didn't show much sorrow! Clearly, they didn't care about his death!
Not a single word or detail was missed!
But!
One of them suddenly had a glint in his eye and started complaining to Lin Lang: "Benefactor! How could something like this happen in your place?"
"You have no idea! That slob's wife and child are still waiting for him to come home!"
"Who would've thought! Now it's just the two of them, mother and child, how pitiful!"
Seeing that Lin Lang still didn't respond.
The man pretended to struggle for a while, then finally got to the point: "Benefactor, look!"
"After all, it happened on your turf!"
"Couldn't you give them some compensation?"
"It doesn't have to be much!"
"Just a few boxes of water or meat would do!"
"We can take it back along with yesterday's supplies!"
...
Hearing this!
The people from Happiness Residential Complex all changed their expressions: "Who are these people?"
"Asking for water and meat right off the bat, they've got quite the appetite!"
"What? Did they save Boss Lin Lang's life or something? How dare they talk to him like that?"
...
As for the demands from the Low-Rent Residential Area people.
Lin Lang didn't refuse.
But he didn't agree either.
He just spoke with a hint of impatience:
"You've seen the situation here. I'm swamped with work and don't have time to distribute supplies to you. Let's talk about it another day!"
After saying this.
He turned around and walked back into the residential complex! "Benefactor!"
The people from the Low-Rent Residential Area instinctively tried to chase after him! But they were blocked at the gate by the residents of Happiness Residential Complex:
"Who are you people? How dare you barge into this place?"
...
"Damn it! What does he mean by this? Can't he just give us a straight answer? If he's not going to give us the supplies, then forget it!"
"Shh! Stop talking nonsense! How can we just forget it? Those supplies are our lifeline! He has to give them to us!"
"Who told him to save us back then!"
"If he saved us, then he has to take full responsibility for us!"
"That's right!"
"Sigh! But this place is really troublesome! Let's just come back tomorrow!"
The people from the Low-Rent Residential Area had no choice.
They could only leave in frustration once again!...
As Lin Lang walked back to Building C.
He ran into someone:
[Ding Xinrou]
[Appearance: 9.5/10]
[Charging: 0 times]
[Loyalty: 1%]
[Return Rate: 0]
[Combat Power: B+]
[Superpower: Other Shore Twins (Level 9)]
'It's that woman?'
Lin Lang had a deep impression of her—
Despite her stunning 9.5/10 appearance, she had disguised her looks somewhat.
Only revealing about a 7/10.
Even so.
Judging from her aura, it was clear that she was an absolutely captivating little beauty!...
Ding Xinrou, in a rather cliché manner.
Was hurrying along.
And then accidentally bumped into Lin Lang's chest.
"Ah!"
She dumbly covered her forehead, but her body started to fall backward!
"Careful."
Lin Lang reached out.
And supported her slender waist.
Their eyes met at close range.
Their figures froze like a movie scene for a long moment.
"Sorry!"
Until.
Ding Xinrou, flustered and shy.
Stood up.
From Lin Lang's embrace.
And then prepared to leave in a hurry.
But at that moment.
Lin Lang stopped her.
He reached out, pinched her chin, and carefully examined her face.
Then.
In a gentle tone, he said, "Not bad."
"Would you like to be my woman?"
"Food, shelter, and cultivation resources are all included!"
Hearing this!
The passersby around them were stunned: "Holy crap! Boss Lin Lang is at it again, preying on young girls!"
