After Lin Hao sat down at the dining table, he naturally ordered some signature dishes and a bottle of red wine.
Zi Ye was also eating the food with a self-centered look on his face. He didn't speak to Lin Hao the whole time, just like a stranger.
If Lin Hao didn't know the identities of both parties, he would have really thought that Zi Ye had a twin sister.
This acting skill is so good that it can easily beat a lot of stars in the previous life!
Soon, all the dishes ordered by Lin Hao were served.
The food is very rich, with steak, lamb bones, chicken skewers, and other snacks.
Seeing Lin Hao calling out dozens of times at once, a hint of surprise emerged in Zi Ye's cold eyes.
However, this surprise was only fleeting.
Looking at the table full of delicious food, Lin Hao smelled the fragrant aroma and couldn't help licking his lips.
He cooked all the meals himself along the way, and although the food tasted good, it had never been so sumptuous.
It’s better to spend money happily.
Lin Hao sighed inwardly, and then started eating without caring about his image.
The little white ape was lying under the table, biting the pieces of barbecue that Lin Hao threw to it, and was also eating with relish.
"It seems you've acquired another pet, but it's too conspicuous."
Zi Ye put down the cutlery and finally spoke: "Your flies and spiders, those with the body shape are most suitable for the mission."
Lin Hao smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about this."
Zi Ye frowned slightly, but said solemnly: "This mission is very important. If we are not careful, the whole plan will be disrupted."
"So, before carrying out the mission, I hope you don't reveal your pet's abilities to avoid your identity being exposed in the future."
Hearing this, Lin Hao nodded secretly.
He had also thought carefully about what Zi Ye said.
After all, when he was in Tianwu City, he had demonstrated the abilities of Kung Fu Fly and Wolf Spider in Zhao's mansion due to his own negligence.
Therefore, the identity of "Jing Ke" aroused the suspicion of the head of the Zhao family.
Fortunately, he had just settled in Yancheng and no one knew about his pet. For the sake of privacy, he could only put Kung Fu Fly into the pet backpack space for the time being.
But in that case, without shared vision, wouldn’t I become a blind person again?
As he thought about it, Lin Hao couldn't help feeling helpless.
It seems that I have no choice but to get a new pet.
He tried the weak scum like the ant once and didn't plan to take it again.
It is best if it can fly and is small in size.
"That's right, little bird!"
Lin Hao's heart moved, and he finally thought of a suitable pet candidate.
Seeing Lin Hao remained silent, Zi Ye said calmly: "The main reason I met you today is to remind you to remember to hide your cards."
"When you successfully enter Tianyan Academy, I will give you new tasks."
After saying that, Zi Ye stood up and was about to leave.
Lin Hao asked hurriedly: "It's been more than a month, where is my salary?"
Hearing this, Zi Ye was slightly startled. Then he remembered something and turned away without looking back. He said calmly, "I'll pass it to you later."
Looking at Zi Ye's graceful back, Lin Hao raised his eyebrows slightly.
Just kidding, even if she is a beautiful woman, you can’t delay her salary.
Ten million monthly salary must be asked for.
After eating and drinking, Lin Hao learned the room number from the waiter and left the restaurant.
Since we can’t expose the abilities of Kung Fu Fly and Wolf Spider, we can only find a new pet to replace the eyes.
"It would be great if I could get a reward for repairing my eyes in the next lottery."
Walking on the street, Lin Hao sighed to himself that he could only pin his hopes of seeing the light again on the system's random draw.
Immediately, after asking a passerby, Lin Hao soon arrived at a game market.
All the things being sold here are wild animals, including various birds and beasts.
As for Warcraft, it is strictly prohibited in the imperial capital.
As I walked into the market, I was greeted by an extremely unpleasant smell and the sounds of various animals filling the air.
Lin Hao's purpose was very clear, and he soon arrived at a pet shop that mainly sold birds.
"Kaizi is here, welcome!"
As soon as he entered the store, Lin Hao heard a strange voice.
When I looked for the source of the voice, I saw that the person speaking was actually a parrot.
It has green feathers all over its body and a long curved red beak, which seems to have a hint of mischief.
"Sibao, shut up."
The shop owner, a bald middle-aged man, immediately came out cursing.
"If you dare to say that again, I'll stew you tonight!"
He glared at the red-billed parrot fiercely.
As if changing his face, the shop owner smiled and said to Lin Hao: "Sir, what kind of birds do you need?"
"We have everything in this store, please take a look."
He quickly looked at Lin Hao and judging from the way he was dressed, he felt that he should be a wealthy man.
If you have money, you are a rich man and can afford a good meal.
The shop owner chuckled in his heart, and a hint of hidden greed flashed in his eyes.
"That's it. Name your price."
Lin Hao took a quick glance and felt that the birds were all similar, then pointed at the red-billed parrot.
From my first impression just now, this red-billed parrot is quite interesting.
"You want to buy it?"
When the shop owner heard Lin Hao's choice, he was stunned at first, and then he was overjoyed.
This rotten bird has not been sold since it was purchased, all because of that bad-mouthed bird.
It’s been half a year, and more than half a year of feed has been wasted. It’s all cost!
At this moment, someone finally wanted it. The shop owner felt like crying and was secretly happy.
"Sir, you have a good eye. This bird is the treasure of our store. It is eloquent and multi-talented."
The shop owner immediately used his salesmanship skills, put on a reluctant expression on his face, and said, "If you really want it, I will have to give it up, but the price may be a bit expensive."
Lin Hao said calmly: "Stop talking nonsense, how much is it."
"One hundred thousand taels!"
The shop owner's face lit up and he immediately raised a finger with a very firm tone.
Hearing this, Lin Hao raised his eyebrows. This guy really did as the parrot said and took advantage of me.
"How about this, I'll give you a discounted price of 80,000 taels, that's all I can give."
Seeing that Lin Hao remained silent, the shop owner hurriedly used his second trick, lowering the price and offering a discount.
However, Lin Hao remained unmoved.
"Kaizi, Kaizi..."
At this time, the red-billed parrot also started to make strange cackling sounds.
The shop owner's face suddenly turned pale.
This little beast is going to ruin my business again!
"Since this bird is the treasure of your shop, I can't take it away from someone else. I'll try something else first."
As Lin Hao spoke, he walked towards another row of bird cages on the left side of the store.
One hundred thousand taels, although it is nothing compared to his current wealth.
But being taken advantage of is another matter.
“Don’t, don’t…”
Hearing that Lin Hao didn't want it, the shop owner's face changed and he said hurriedly: "How about this, how much do you want? Name a price."
"One thousand taels, forget it if it doesn't work."
Lin Hao also stretched out a finger and said lightly.
"One... one thousand?!"
The shop owner suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Lin Hao in surprise.
This kid is really good at bargaining.
One thousand taels is equivalent to the purchase price of this parrot.
However, due to various expenses in the past six months, the cost price has already doubled, not to mention other profits.
But this damn parrot, with its stinky mouth, no customer wants it, and keeping it would just be a loss-making business.
It would be better to sell it now to cash in, at least there is still some loss.
"Okay, deal!"
The shop owner quickly calculated the pros and cons in his mind, then gritted his teeth and nodded with an extremely grim expression.
"readily."
Lin Hao smiled faintly. Judging from the shop owner's expression, he naturally knew that he had taken advantage.
Soon the two parties completed the transaction, and Lin Hao reached directly into the birdcage and grabbed the parrot.
“Help, help…!!!”
The red-billed parrot immediately screamed and flapped its wings violently.
However, under the absolute power suppression of Lin Hao, it could not escape from his clutches at all.
"Ding, detecting that the host has captured a red-billed parrot. Do you want to keep it as a pet?"
"yes."
As the system's voice sounded, Lin Hao issued instructions without hesitation.
"Ding, successfully collected, the host can name the new pet."
Lin Hao changed his mind and realized that the shop owner just called it Sibao, so let's call it Sibao.
"Congratulations on naming your new pet."
As the system voice sounded, a data panel suddenly appeared in Lin Hao's mind.
【Four Treasures】
Code: 003
Owner: Lin Hao
Combat Strength: 10
Lifespan: Five years+
Skills: None
Evolvable: All organs in the body
…
In an instant, all the information about the red-billed parrot appeared in Lin Hao's mind.
Lin Hao discovered that Sibao’s code name had clearly replaced the previous ant’s position and was named 003.
"Ding, evolution is successful, the four treasures have obtained king-level enhancement, and their body functions have been comprehensively improved."
"Ding, successful advancement, congratulations to Sibao for upgrading to C-level and gaining a special skill, Golden Mouth and Electric Tongue."
"Ding, successful advancement, congratulations to Sibao for upgrading to B-level, both claws have been strengthened with metal, cutting iron like mud."
As a series of system prompts sounded, the balance on Lin Hao's Wanjin card suddenly dropped by more than 20 million, leaving only more than 3 million taels.
Lin Hao did not feel the slightest bit of pain about this, as his attention was completely focused on the four treasures in his hands.
But at this time, Sibao no longer resisted and obediently let Lin Hao hold him in his hands.
Moreover, its shape has also changed greatly. Its feathers are shiny and bright, its beak is long and curved with a golden luster, and its eyes are sharp.
Moving downward, the claws became much sharper and looked strong and powerful.
Its combat effectiveness also soared from the original 50 to 10,000, an increase of 200 times.
It is equivalent to Kung Fu Xiaoying’s current level of strength.
However, in terms of level, Kung Fu Xiaoying has been enhanced to the A-level king level, while Sibao is still at the B-level beginner level. Obviously, there is still a lot of room for improvement.
This is the difference in the starting points of the animal species.
After all, among ordinary animals, parrots are undoubtedly much stronger than flies.
"this……"
Seeing this scene, the shop owner next door was stunned.
"Why did it deform?"
He stared at Sibao in shock, his eyes full of surprise.
Could this be the legendary bird that can evolve? !
Thinking of this, the shop owner's eyes lit up and he took a deep breath.
But just now, he sold this divine bird at an extremely low price of one thousand taels.
This is a huge loss!
"Little brother, I won't sell this bird anymore. I'll return the 1,000 taels to you."
The shop owner's eyes were filled with greed. He took out a thousand-liang note and planned to cancel the transaction.
"I'm sorry, I paid for the bird, he's mine now."
Lin Hao had an indifferent look on his face, but how could he not see what the other person was thinking?
"As long as the bird stays in the store, it still belongs to us!"
The shop owner's expression suddenly changed, and he shouted fiercely: "Leave the bird if you know what's best for you, otherwise you will bear the consequences!"
As the words fell, the two shop assistants immediately picked up iron bars and ran over, blocking the door of the shop with fierce expressions.
"Sibao, they won't let you leave."
Seeing this, Lin Hao smiled playfully, "You should know what to do."
"Master, just leave it to me."
Sibao can speak human language. After evolution, its speaking ability has obviously improved a lot, and it has become more cruel.
"Owner?"
The shop owner was stunned. This divine bird actually recognized him as its master?
No, its owner must be me!
Thinking of this, the shop owner felt extremely jealous.
He then turned to the two men and shouted angrily, "Catch that bird and kick this guy out!"
"Yes, boss."
The two guys were tall and strong, but they were not warriors. Their strength was at most slightly stronger than that of ordinary people.
Holding iron rods in their hands, they immediately rushed towards Lin Hao fiercely.
whoosh——!
And the next moment they moved, the four treasures spread their wings and swooped out violently.
Yo!
It opened its mouth and let out a sharp scream, and as its tongue trembled, a flash of lightning spurted out.
The man who was rushing in the front screamed suddenly, his whole body was charred and he fell to the ground, twitching continuously.
It is not difficult to see that the electric current just now was extremely strong and an ordinary adult could not bear it at all.
"You beast, you're looking for death!"
Seeing his companion fall to the ground, the other man was shocked and angry, and swung the iron rod in his hand down fiercely.
But then, the iron rod was grabbed by a pair of claws.
Immediately, it was torn into pieces of iron like tofu.
Sibao flew close to him, and with a swipe of his wings, he knocked the man backwards and hit him hard against the wall.
As a series of ping-pong sounds rang out, the iron cages that imprisoned birds and animals were all deformed.
The man fell into a pile of bird cages, covered in blood and screaming and groaning.
“Wow… so awesome!!”
Looking at this scene, the shop owner was stunned.
He stared with his dead eyes wide open, couldn't help but gasp, then turned around and ran towards the back door of the store.
However, his fat feet seemed to be not very agile and were tripped by the messy iron cage and fell upside down.
"Yes, another powerful general has been added."
After seeing the fighting power of the four treasures, Lin Hao was quite satisfied.
Then he ignored the shop owner and walked out of the shop.
The time for Tianyan Academy's admission examination is getting closer and closer, and he must be adequately prepared.
The thousands of Lingyang Stones I collected from Li Qingshou a while ago were just right for me to use for cultivation and to increase my strength.
Sibao immediately followed, stood on Lin Hao's shoulders, and held his head high.
Its heroic appearance undoubtedly attracted a lot of attention in the market.
