Chapter 019 Recruitment and Expansion
Seeing the other party so calm, Bob was a little surprised and could not help but take a few steps back quietly.
He and his accomplices looked at each other, fearing that there was something fishy going on, and did not dare to take the first step.
Logically speaking, the swordsman should be able to defeat the mage in close combat, so why did Lin Muqiu come here directly?
While everyone was lost in thought, Lin Muqiu seized the opportunity, pulled the stunned Mario over, and released the skill [Add Protective Shield], adding an extremely thick ice wall in all directions for the two of them.
Bob and his accomplices were even more stunned and could not help but take a few steps back.
What is this operation?
You should know that there will be a reduction rate when using magic to add skills to defend against attacks. For example, a level 50 mage can completely defend against the attack of a level 30 swordsman.
And every level above level 30 is extremely difficult to reach, otherwise he wouldn't have been stuck at level 30 for so many years.
Could it be that Lin Muqiu’s level is above level 50?
He suddenly thought of the archer he had hired who was beaten badly and ran back in despair. He even told him that Lin Muqiu must be at least level 50 or 60.
If Lin Muqiu is really above level 50... as long as Lin Muqiu casts a spell, with his magic resistance attribute, wouldn't anyone who touches it be dead?
After years of bullying in the small town, he felt uneasy for the first time, and cold sweat streamed down his forehead.
Is there really a trap?
Andrew didn't have that much time and effort. Seeing that the situation was in a state of tension, he simply rushed out with a knife in hand and a loud shout. At the same time, he saw several swift figures flashing around him, and he finally felt relieved. Fortunately, his brothers also moved together under his leadership.
But isn’t the direction everyone is moving in wrong?
What does it mean to jump out of the window and run away?!
And Bob is the fastest runner! Where is the backbone?
Andrew felt a chill in his heart, and his hands suddenly became weaker.
At that moment, Lin Muqiu seized the opportunity and released magic in a flash, freezing Andrew first, and then released spells one by one in the direction of the fleeing people.
They were instantly frozen into ice cubes. With frightened eyes, they desperately beat the ice, but they couldn't get out.
Mario was stunned. "Mr. Manager, you... you are amazing."
"That's right! My master is awesome!" Yun Yi, who had been waiting outside the door for a long time, immediately became excited like a dog when he heard someone praising his master. He tied up several people with ropes while shouting.
Seeing that the situation was under control, Lin Muqiu breathed a sigh of relief and shook his sore arms.
After casting so many spells in a row, her endurance attribute was a bit overwhelmed. Fortunately, every step was calculated just right, otherwise, after a long endurance battle, the muscle soreness would be really uncomfortable.
Facing Kua Kua, she showed a proud smile.

Mario excitedly went home to report the news, while Lin Muqiu and Yun Yi carried Bob and others on the street to parade them in public.
Seeing the surprised looks from the people on the street, Yun Yi asked a little embarrassedly, "Master, why are we doing this?"
Lin Muqiu raised an eyebrow. "This is called parading it through the streets. I want to show some people what happens when you violate food safety and harm others. Also, I don't think anyone will dare to steal the recipe from now on."
She had already considered that relying solely on her martial prowess wouldn't be enough; it would be too conspicuous and easily targeted for coercion or revenge. She wanted her shop to be known far and wide, her town to be renowned, and for the people of the town to become caring individuals with the courage to take up sword and protect what they loved.
Instead of just swallowing our anger in the face of injustice as we did in the past.
Justice is worth a thousand gold.
"Lin Muqiu...you, tell me, do you have any evidence?"
Hearing the hoarse sound from the person being dragged underground, Lin Muqiu looked down and found that the heat from the summer disaster had melted Bob's ice. However, it was also possible that Bob was the highest level and struggled the most violently, so he was the only one who melted for the time being.
Bob sneered and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Lin Muqiu, don't think you've won... Even if I'm arrested, do you think anyone would dare to report me? Everyone fears standing under a dangerous wall. That's human nature."
Lin Muqiu looked at his hair, which was wet from the ice-melted water, sneered, and opened the recording that had been recorded in the ice stone in advance:
Tomorrow at 3:00 PM, everyone is welcome to come to the Town Center to watch the mayor interrogate Bob! Lin Muqiu's shop will be recruiting to fill the vacancies! Interested parties, come quickly!
The sound equivalent to a direct call from a loud speaker suddenly exploded in Bob's ears. He grimaced in pain and quickly dodged. At this time, he didn't dare to say anything harsh. He just bit his lip and shivered.
Is this person a devil? Even at this time, he still doesn't forget to promote his shop?
However, Lin Muqiu was not going to let him go.
She looked down at him and said with a hint of amusement:
"You want evidence, right? Wouldn't it be clear if you just looked up?"
Bob was stunned and didn't react.
However, a familiar voice came into his ears from above:
【I want you to compete with the employee and steal her formula. 】
Like a bolt from the blue, Bob looked up and saw a layer of ice on the walls of some houses, and on top of the ice wall was playing his conversation with Andrew that day.
The screen scrolled and played, as if it had been edited to form a whole short film. The first part showed him and Andrew's conspiracy to steal the formula, the middle part showed Lin Muqiu and Mayor Cedro discussing countermeasures and obtaining an arrest warrant, and the second half described Mario and Lin Muqiu using a Mission Impossible trick to deliberately make fun of him, and the last part was the part where they arrested him.
The movie has clear picture quality and excellent sound quality, it is so vivid that even the sound of his farts is recorded clearly, as if the smell can be smelled.
And the words of his idiot teammates were recorded very clearly, the evidence was almost thrown directly in his face: [Heh! How do you think those people disappeared!]
Bob's pupils were about to burst, and he opened his mouth in disbelief, "This is impossible..."
Some ice mages can indeed record with ice, but generally the recording time will not be too long, and it will also be subject to many restrictions, such as the magic power of the caster, and the distance from the caster, etc., which will affect the imaging.
But looking at the quality, he felt that Lin Muqiu was even more powerful than he imagined?!
And isn't projection a Space Mage skill? Why does Lin Muqiu also know it?!
He opened his mouth, not daring to think anymore, and felt a splitting headache.
The pain of social death and the fear of being squeezed in recent days surged into his heart, and for the first time he felt a huge sense of powerlessness.
However, the sound quality was so good that even if he closed his eyes and covered his ears, the sound still lingered in his ears like a devil's spell, making him unable to live or die.
Finally, the film ended, and he thought he could finally breathe a sigh of relief, but suddenly he heard the subtitles: [Lin Muqiu's shop, the shop of justice, you can trust it. It's so delicious that it makes people jealous, so delicious that people want to steal the recipe, but Lin Muqiu's shop is the only one of its kind, there are no branches!]
People on the street were stunned when they saw this combination of "spy film" and "propaganda film" for the first time. To be precise, they didn't even know what a movie was, and of course Bob was the same.
Physiological tears welled up in Bob's eyes.
He couldn't understand why Lin Muqiu always had so many wonderful ideas.
Is this guy a business genius? His promotional methods are so unique! And after this incident, anyone else who wants to take over Lin Muqiu's store will have to think twice.
He hated himself for having to be the enemy of Lin Muqiu. He hated himself for being so ignorant that he dared to go against the dual-element mage!
But what he couldn't understand the most was why Lin Muqiu was so amazing and so hardworking?! He kept an eye on them every day, yet he even had a part-time job picking herbs and running the shop, and even found time to do an editing job!
What a time management guru!

The news that Bob was going to be executed spread like wildfire. At the same time, Mario ran to Russell's house after notifying his mother.
"Russell, I have good news for you." Mario came to Russell's room, looked into the dark room through the gap, and knocked on the door after hesitating for a long time.
He didn't dare to go in directly. Russell was one of the people Bob had killed. Ever since that incident, Russell seemed like a different person, full of thorns and his words were full of sarcasm and ridicule... Even he didn't dare to get close.
After a long while, Russell's cold and low voice finally rang out, "Is there anything in this world worth being happy about?"
Mario quickly said, "Bob is going to be executed!"
Hearing the word "Bob," Russell's heart ached, but he still pretended to be calm and sneered, "Even you have learned to make fun of a cripple like me?"
Mario felt uncomfortable when he heard this man's self-deprecating words. After all, to some extent, they shared the same suffering.
He pried open the door and explained, "Really? I didn't lie to you! I have a lot to tell you, about me, about Lin Muqiu, about her shop..."
"Where is justice in this world?" Russell muttered softly, a tear sliding down the corner of his eye. "Never mind, since you said it... then I'll believe it. Wait a moment."
After saying this, he picked up a razor blade for the first time, shaved his beard in front of a bronze mirror, changed into formal clothes, and then reached the door with difficulty and opened it.
Fortunately, he was close to the door, so the bolt was still within reach.
Mario walked in when he saw the door open, carefully put his arms around his knees, and lifted him up, smiling at him, "You'll believe it soon."
Russell tried to force a smile, but as he looked at his legs that were twisted, blackened and swollen, his eyes became more desolate and cold.
The young man was righteous and could not stand Bob's bullying. He and his brother slammed the table in anger and spoke up for a girl who was bullied by Bob. However, he was retaliated against that night. His brother was sold to a slave trader by Bob, and he also had his legs broken by Bob, and he never recovered from the blow.
I want to report him, but Bob has too many people and people around him don't dare to provoke Bob, let alone help him. How can I dare to get too close to him?
Over the years, Mario was the only one who dared to associate with someone like him and helped him sincerely.
But it doesn't matter anymore. People like him deserve to die.
He looked at the razor clenched in his hand, thoughtfully.
