Chapter 45: Temptation
After a moment of hesitation, the soldier quickly began to count Lin Zhen’s spoils.
Each D-level snake's tongue was worth 100 points. After a few minutes of counting, the results came out.
Lin Zhen brought out a total of 71 snake tongues, totaling 7,100 points! Adding the 200 points he had obtained previously, a total of 7,300 points! Just as the soldier was about to announce the result, Lin Zhen suddenly picked up one of the tongues and said, "Look carefully, this one is not a D-level one."
The soldier took it and looked at it, looking at Lin Zhen in disbelief, but still corrected him: "Yes, this letter is from a C-level mutant beast, your total score should be 8200 points!"
Upon hearing this result, several guys in the Demon Hunter team went crazy.
Zhao Liang danced around Lin Zhen with joy: "Xiao Lin, you are awesome! Now our team's points have surpassed the Demon God, haha! I don't have to spend any money, and I will make a fortune. Even if I get nothing in Yilan, this trip is worth it!"
Shi Lei smiled, and his dark face turned a little red.
Gao Yan also sighed and patted Lin Zhen's shoulder, feeling that the old was being replaced by the new.
Ye Tiancheng even ran in front of the Demon God's men and said, "Captain Zhou, this is really a changing world. Just now you wanted to ask us for money, but now it's time for you to have a headache. One hundred million, hehe! I wonder if you can come up with it? If not, we will report you to the Warriors Federation. You should know that not only do you have the video, we have it too!"
The faces of the demons were as ugly as they could be, and Zhou Tie looked like he had swallowed shit, and he wished he could squeeze Ye Tiancheng to death.
"This kid must have cheated! He is just a level eight warrior, how could he kill so many level D mutant beasts, including one level C? He didn't form a team, so how did he do it?" Hua Xiaofeng shouted unconvinced.
Lin Zhen sneered at him and said, "No matter what you say, it can't change the fact that you have to pay. I advise you to think about where the money will come from if you have the energy to do so."
The Demon God's men were speechless. Even though they were not convinced, they dared not deny it. They gathered together and discussed giving the money.
After a while of discussion, the result came out. Zhou Tie contributed 40 million, Hua Xiaofeng and Kong Shan contributed 20 million each, and Li Mengxi and Ruoruo contributed 10 million each.
The 80 million for Zhou Tie and the other two was transferred quickly, but when it came to Li Mengxi and Ruoruo, they were a little troubled.
It's not that each of them can't come up with 10 million, but this is almost all their assets. If they take it out, the nearly one year spent in the wild will be almost in vain. After all, they are only at the warrior level. Even if they get some money on a normal day, they don't get much. What's more, warriors spend money lavishly. 10 million is not a small sum for them.
On the demon hunter side, according to the proportion distribution, Shi Lei got 20 million, Ye Tiancheng got 18 million, Zhao Liang got 15 million, Gao Yan got 12 million, and Lin Zhen got 35 million.
The money from those four people has been received, and Lin Zhen is still short of 20 million. He is just waiting for Li Mengxi and Ruoruo to transfer the money.
Ruoruo pulled Li Mengxi to Lin Zhen. She lowered her head for a while, smoothed her hair behind her ears with her hands, then raised her head, revealing a pair of big wet eyes. She stared at Lin Zhen and said, "Lin Zhen, you and Mengxi have known each other since childhood, right?"
"That's right." Lin Zhen nodded.
"I heard that you two are still in a good relationship. You like Sister Mengxi too, right?"
Lin Zhen was silent for a moment: "What do you want to say?"
"I want to say that Mengxi and I are both girls, we are not very strong, and we don't have much money. Can you, can you give us some time?"
Lin Zhen didn't say anything, just looked at Li Mengxi and Ruoruo.
Ruoruo continued, "If you agree, we can treat you to a meal and go out to play after we return to the city. I think Mengxi and you still have a chance."
Lin Zhen smiled and said to Li Mengxi: "Sister Mengxi, don't you have any money?"
"A little, but this is all I have..." Li Mengxi's voice was very low, and she really didn't want to take out the money.
Several demon hunters looked at Lin Zhen with amusement. If Lin Zhen agreed, they would not say anything, because this was Lin Zhen’s private matter after all.
Only Zhao Liang curled his lips in anger: "Just now he was hugging someone, and now that the situation has changed, he comes over to seduce Lin Zhen. What a jerk!"
Shi Lei pulled Zhao Liang and said, "Don't talk nonsense. That's Lin Zhen's business."
He already had a feeling that he couldn't understand Lin Zhen. He didn't know how Lin Zhen did it. He was able to kill so many monsters in the test area. Even if he, a third-level warrior, was asked to do it, it would probably be difficult to do it.
Perhaps the future development of the demon hunter team will depend on Lin Zhen.
Just when everyone thought Lin Zhen was going to agree, Lin Zhen smiled at Li Mengxi and said, "Sister Mengxi, as a neighbor, I have no problem inviting you to dinner, but before that, I hope you two will pay me the money you owe me. I don't want to bring this to the Warriors Federation. That's not good. What do you think?"
Li Mengxi looked up at Lin Zhen in disbelief. Is this still the Lin Zhen she knew? Shouldn't the Lin Zhen she knew be happy for several days just by giving him a smile? Shouldn't he be willing to do whatever she asked? He didn't seem to be so short of money now, so why couldn't he agree to her small request? Didn't he like her anymore? It must be because of what happened with Zhou Tie just now that he was unhappy. But she and Zhou Tie hadn't made any substantial progress yet. If she tried a little harder, would Lin Zhen come back to her? Now it seemed that Lin Zhen also had a promising future.
Li Mengxi was in a state of confusion, but Ruoruo, who was standing next to her, glared at Lin Zhen fiercely: "You stingy guy, you deserve to be single until you die!"
"Don't worry about that. Besides, I may not always be single."
"Tsk! Let's see what kind of man you're going to find in the future. Our Mengxi is a warrior and she's so beautiful. You can't find her even with a lantern. You'll regret it later. By then, it will be useless even if you beg us. Sister Mengxi, give him money!"
The two women transferred the money to Lin Zhen reluctantly. After receiving the money, Lin Zhen didn't say anything more to them and went straight back to the witcher.
"Brother, good job! I thought you would not be able to resist the temptation and agreed. If that's the case, I really look down on you." Zhao Liang punched Lin Zhen with a look of relief on his face.
"Brother Zhao, you underestimate me. Do you think I'm the kind of guy who can't move a muscle when he sees a woman?"
"I think you are."
"Shit! You're looking for K!"
"Come on, come on! Lin Zhen, I have wanted to teach you a lesson for a long time. I guess I won't be able to teach you in two months. I will beat you up before you grow up. When you become a god of war, I will be so proud to tell others about it. Hahaha!"
Zhao Liang and Lin Zhen were joking and playing around. In this team, Lin Zhen had the best relationship with Zhao Liang.
"Silence! All teams listen up. Those who have qualified to enter Yilan, follow me. Those who are eliminated, go back immediately and are not allowed to stay here!"
Following the order from the military officer, most of the warrior teams turned around and left. Including the demon hunters and demon gods, a total of eight teams were qualified to enter Yilan.
