When Wu Yongde and the others came down from the stage, Lin Yiran was already waiting at the exit. When she saw them come down, Lin Yiran went to greet them.

Wu Xiaoman excitedly rushed over, shouting, "Ah!!! Sister Lin, Sister Lin, we won! We won! We really won!! I'm so happy!!!"

Then she picked up Lin Yiran and spun her around. Lin Yiran was forced to spin, and she really felt that this girl's arm strength was amazing. Picking her up was easy and without any pressure.

This made Lin Yiran feel that she was not up to par and needed to intensify her training.

Wu Yongde: "This time we really owe a lot to Miss Lin. Oh, by the way, about joining the team... I've discussed it with my teammates. Miss Lin, why don't you become our captain?"

Xiaoman: "Yeah! Yeah! Sister Lin, why don't you be our team leader? You're so strong, being our team leader will definitely help us reach new heights!"

Tiger: "Yes! We all support Miss Lin to be our captain! Don't worry, we'll definitely listen to you from now on!"

Biaozi: "It's okay if Miss Lin doesn't want to stay in the team for a long time. Being a captain will earn you mercenary points, which can be exchanged for a lot of things!"

The others said, "Hey? Miss Lin's cooking is amazing. If Miss Lin were our team leader, would we be able to eat delicious food all the time?"

"That's right, how come I didn't think of that? Miss Lin, let's be our captain! We love you! Please be our captain!"

Wu Yongde couldn't help but turn around and scold, "Shut up! She's still a young girl. What are you talking about love? Watch your mouth!" These roughnecks scared Miss Lin again.

The others quickly corrected themselves: "Oh, oh, we misspoke, we misspoke. It was Miss Ailin who made the food, we love her cooking."

Wu Yongde also said sincerely, "Actually, Miss Lin, you really should consider it. Being a captain is a bit busy, but you can really enjoy a lot of benefits. When we go to the mercenary guild to complete the formalities, I'll let you experience it, that feeling..."

Lin Yiran interrupted him, "No need, I... have something to do, and I'm not planning to join the mercenary group for the time being." If it weren't for Zhou Lin's incident today, she would have been very willing to join their team. However, the people who wanted to kill her were from Diba, and the Lieyang mercenary team was just a small to medium-sized team that had just started to gain momentum.

What if she's been targeted by the people of Emperor's Domination?

It's not impossible for the entire team to be wiped out.

Lin still couldn't risk them.

Wu Yongde wanted to try to persuade her again, but Lin Yiran had already made up her mind and resolutely left their team. At that time, she did not know what this meant. She indirectly dismissed many people who had chosen to join the Lieyang Legion because of her. Now that Lin Yiran had resolutely left, some people who wanted to switch teams immediately gave up their ideas.

But then their hopes were rekindled.

Lin Yiran thought for a moment and figured they wouldn't refuse, so she spoke without hesitation: "By the way, I own a restaurant in the North District, you know that, right?"

Wu Yongde nodded: "Oh, I see. I see Miss Lin's business is doing quite well. What's wrong? Is there anything you need? Or has something happened? Don't worry, just ask, and we brothers will do everything we can to help!" This was a promise to Lin Yiran.

The others were about to chime in, "Yes, yes, Miss Lin, just say it. We're all friends here!"

Lin Yiran smiled and said, "Actually, it's nothing. I just wanted to talk to you about cooperation."

Wu Yongde: "What kind of cooperation?"

Lin Yiran: "My shop is now on the right track, and I need a lot of ingredients every day. These ingredients all need to be obtained from the Forest of Hope. I'm busy with the shop and sometimes I don't have time to go to the Forest of Hope to find ingredients, so I thought I'd outsource this."

"After thinking about it, I thought of you guys. I wonder if you would be willing to help me find ingredients once a week. I will give you the ingredient list, and then you can find the ingredients according to the list and deliver them to my shop. I will then pay you in Star Coins."

Wu Yongde: "Sure, no problem, we've got it covered. All Miss Lin needs are the corpses of those mutated plants. We don't need them; it's just something we brought back on the side. If Miss Lin needs them, I'll have someone collect them and send them to your shop. As for star coins, no need for that. Don't be so polite. It's just a small favor. If we asked for star coins, we'd feel bad."

"That's right, that's right, Sister Lin, you don't need to be so polite with us. It's just finding ingredients! Leave it to me. I'll personally deliver them to you from now on. I don't need anything else, just treat me to a meal!" She giggled and hugged Lin Yiran's arm. She found that Wu Xiaoman was really clingy and liked to stick close to people all the time, but she had never seen her hug her brother.

However, Lin still had his own plans: "Brother Wu, let's do things my way. It's not that I'm being polite, but I need a long-term partner. Also, as the number of customers in the store increases, I'm likely to open more branches, and I'll need a lot of ingredients then. You can't keep bringing ingredients back for me."

“I can’t say for sure how much ingredients I’ll need then, but right now, my shop needs 500 jin of ingredients every day, and that’s not a small amount a week. I also plan to open branches in the future, so the amount of ingredients I need each week will be even more. That’s why I’m going to settle accounts with you in Star Coins by weight, so that we can have a stable and long-term development.”

Wu Yongde thought about it and agreed. One or two times was fine, but too many times might really affect their relationship. Besides, Miss Lin owns a shop, and if the ingredients aren't delivered on time, it would definitely affect her business.

"Since Miss Lin trusts us so much, we'll take on this job."

Hearing his agreement, Lin Yiran took out a food encyclopedia from her Star Brain and handed it to Wu Yongde. Wu Xiaoman looked at it from the side. Then Lin Yiran instructed, "The amount of these ingredients needed is large, but it doesn't matter what level of mutated plant they are. When you are looking for ingredients, you can specifically pick those low-level mutated plants, such as level two or three."

"And if it's really tough, we can skip the core and just shoot the fruit down with arrows. As for the ingredients, we'll settle by weight. How about ten star coins per pound?"

Based on this price, Wu Yongde calculated that 100 jin would be worth 1,000 Xingbi.

The key point is that Miss Lin's ingredient list included yaks, and a single yak weighs over a thousand pounds!

They made a fortune!
