This allowed Bai Fan to drive the car over smoothly.

After opening the door, Bai Fan parked the car in the garage on the first floor.

Just as Bai Fan opened the door to the first floor, almost all the medicinal herb merchants nearby stopped what they were doing, with shock on their faces. Even the porters didn't even notice that the bags of medicinal herbs on their shoulders had fallen to the ground.

Lin Tao frowned slightly.

After opening the car door and getting out, Lin Tao looked at the people outside again, only to find that they had started working again without even looking over, as if the previous scene was just an illusion of Lin Tao and the others. If it weren't for the porter who dropped the medicinal materials bag on the ground and was trying in a hurry to put the bag back on his shoulder, the three of them would have thought that they had just pressed the pause button.

"What's going on?" Lin Tao asked puzzledly.

Bai Fan shrugged: "How should I know?"

Liang Zeyu also frowned secretly. Since this town has developed into a medicinal materials town, according to his experience, this building is almost the most eye-catching place. If he can rent it, he will definitely be able to become the number one merchant in the medicinal materials town in a short period of time.

But now, not only did no one care, even the space around the house was vacated, as if it could not be avoided.

There must be something else going on here. Liang Zeyu whispered a brief analysis to Lin Tao.

Hearing this, Bai Fan suddenly seemed to remember something and slapped his forehead, "Well, I remember now. My mom mentioned that this house seemed to have been rented out several times, but for some reason, some people moved out the next day, and some even left without even paying a deposit."

"Oh?" Lin Tao quickly glanced at the medicinal herb merchants nearby. Except for one or two people who kept staring at them, most of them had already started to get back to work and didn't even bother to look up.

"I heard that this house seems to be haunted." Bai Fan shrugged and said.

"Haunted?" Liang Zeyu laughed out loud: "What era is this? There are still ghosts. I think it should be a nuisance, right?"

Lin Tao also smiled, but soon he couldn't laugh anymore.

Ghosts, of course, don't exist.

However, in later generations, monsters more powerful than ghosts appeared - star monsters.

According to later records, the first place where the star monsters appeared was near the Mingyuan star field, and Mingyuan Star became the first inhabited planet to turn into dust after the appearance of these star monsters.

Calculating the time, although this ferocious beast will not appear for hundreds of years, Lin Tao still felt uneasy in his heart: "Let's go and explore this house first."

"Could there really be a ghost?" Seeing Lin Tao's expression change, Bai Fan's heart sank and his face became embarrassed.

Liang Zeyu's face tightened. He was naturally an atheist and didn't believe in so-called ghosts at all. Moreover, based on his usual experience, there was usually only one reason why this house was rumored to be haunted, and that was that someone had taken a fancy to the geographical location of the building and wanted to seize it, so they used inferior means.

However, seeing that Lin Tao had a strange expression, he didn't say anything else.

Since Bai Fan's family rarely comes here, the building is always powered so that the smart vacuum cleaners on each floor can work automatically.

These electricity bills are nothing to Bai Fan's family.

Bai Fan led the way, walking through almost all the rooms on every floor, all the way to the top floor.

The building has only thirteen floors, and except for the smart vacuum cleaners that occasionally work on each floor, it is empty.

"I told you, how could there be ghosts in this world?" Bai Fan said with a self-deprecating laugh.

"If I'm not mistaken, there should be some unscrupulous businessmen who want to take over this building." Liang Zeyu also nodded.

Lin Tao kept frowning but didn't say anything.

Arriving at the rooftop, Lin Tao walked around it, but before he was halfway there, he suddenly stopped and his eyes narrowed.

Below the building, a bright light suddenly flashed in a medicinal material trading store.

That is the light reflected from the mirror.

Lin Tao quietly noted down the location of the medicinal materials trading store and continued walking forward without making a sound. While walking, he kept an eye on it. When he turned the corner, Lin Tao could still feel the reflected light.

According to Feng Lehou, it seemed that someone from the Liu family had asked them to take possession of the house, and that they would hand it over after forcibly seizing it.

Thinking of this, Lin Tao paid even more attention to that location.

However, after walking around the entire building, apart from being able to feel that the building had some commercial value, Lin Tao could not think of any reason that could attract the Liu family.

As for the starry sky monster, Lin Tao shook his head and threw the idea away.

In later lives, Lin Tao has been fighting against star monsters and has a certain familiarity with them. These star monsters possess special abilities and can perform remote teleportation to fixed points in the starry sky. So when he heard that the building was haunted, the first thing he thought of was the star monsters' ability to teleport to fixed points.

But along the way, Lin Tao did not detect any radiation light from any teleportation point.

The fixed-point teleportation of the star monster will emit special waves at the same time, causing slight changes in the nearby space, which become displacement coordinates. If it is in the universe, special instruments are needed to detect it, but it is also easy to observe inside the planet because there is gas in the planet. Once the displacement coordinate appears, the surrounding air will also change slightly, which can be identified with the naked eye.

"Let's go down." Lin Tao waved at the two of them.

Although Liang Zeyu and the other two were confused, they followed them down.

"Bai Fan, since there is no one in this building, I will rent it. Please ask Aunt Bai to tell you the rent." Lin Tao said as he walked.

"Lin Tao, I already said no..."

Before Bai Fan finished speaking, Lin Tao waved his hand again: "Wait until you become the head of the Bai family and have the power to decide the lease of this building, then you can exempt me from the rent."

Hearing this, Liang Zeyu burst out laughing. Compared to him, who already had a job and was considered independent, Bai Fan was still just a student. He probably couldn't even provide for his own living expenses, so how could he have the right to dispose of property such as a house?

I guess if Bai Fan really doesn't collect rent, his family will definitely break his legs and even treat Lin Tao as a liar.

Bai Fan then understood what Lin Tao meant and immediately touched his nose in embarrassment.

Afterwards, Bai Fan contacted Aunt Bai on the spot.

"Mom, someone wants to rent the building at the end of the medicinal materials town. How much rent do you plan to charge?" Bai Fan asked.

"The building in Medicinal Materials Town? Bai Fan, you have to tell them that the building is a little unusual. I heard that it is haunted every night. It has been haunted by several people. Don't cheat them casually."

Aunt Bai's voice of admonition came from the watch, and Lin Tao suddenly felt warm in his heart. At the same time, he felt even more disgusted with Feng Lehou. If Aunt Bai had not reappeared in this era this time, she would have followed the same history and ended up jumping off the building and dying.

Liang Zeyu also looked at Bai Fan with a little surprise, because a landlord would basically not mention such things to the tenants.

"Aunt Bai, I'm Lin Tao, and I'm the one who wants to rent the building." Lin Tao couldn't help but smile.

"Lin Tao? You don't have to go to school? Why did you go to the medicinal materials town?" Aunt Bai was stunned, and then she remembered something: "I heard from Ruizhi that you have become the best student in the First Mecha Academy. Even the dean has personally opened a special class for you."

After a pause, Aunt Bai started to curse again: "Bai Fan, did you bring Lin Tao to the medicinal materials town? He is a good student with excellent character and behavior. Please don't lead him astray."

Huh? Bai Fan was embarrassed.

Lin Tao was also a little embarrassed. He was the one who confronted the dean at the school gate. When did he become a person of good character?

Seeing the expressions of the two, Liang Zeyu couldn't help but find it funny. As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison. When these two people stood together, they were almost like heaven and earth, and there was an obvious difference between them.

Helplessly, Lin Tao calmed down by force before speaking again: "Aunt Bai, I'm a student in the Department of Materials. I've recently become interested in medicinal herbs, so I asked Bai Fan to bring me here. I didn't expect you also have a building here, so I planned to rent it and store some medicinal herbs."

"Why are people in the Mecha Materials Department all researching medicinal materials?" Aunt Bai muttered in a low voice. After all, materials and medicinal materials are two completely different things.

The sound was not loud, but all three of them could hear it. Lin Tao couldn't help but shrug and smile.

"Forget it, since it's Lin Tao you want to use it, just take it. No one's renting the building anyway, and we feel more at ease living here. We probably won't be going back for a long time." Aunt Bai spoke very straightforwardly.

Lin Tao was stunned. Before he could say anything, Aunt Bai spoke again: "Lin Tao, since your grades are so good, can you help me take care of Bai Fan? Hey! His grades are really too bad. It's a pity that this guy was admitted to the First Mecha Academy with genius grades. I'm afraid that in another year, he will be..."

Before Aunt Bai finished speaking, Bai Fan quickly cut off the call. Seeing Lin Tao and the others looking at him, he quickly shrugged and changed the subject: "I already told you that I don't want your rent, but you still don't believe me."

"You guy..." Liang Zeyu shook his head.

Lin Tao also shook his head and said nothing. However, even though Aunt Bai didn't want rent, Lin Tao still sent another one million star coins to Aunt Bai's account.

After all, he didn't want to rent the building on a whim.

Genetically enhanced medicinal materials require a lot of medicinal materials. Since this place has developed into a medicinal material town, it is very convenient for purchasing medicinal materials. Moreover, Lin Tao also wants to find out why this building aroused the interest of the Liu family.

Thinking of this, Lin Tao narrowed his eyes again. He remembered that when they were on the rooftop, there was a herbal medicine store that used a telescope to spy on their actions.

"Bai Fan, Ze Yu, let's go for a walk outside and buy some medicinal herbs." Lin Tao said.

"Purchase medicinal materials?" Bai Fan was suspicious: "Lin Tao, you are not kidding, you are researching mecha materials, do you really want to purchase medicinal materials?"

Liang Zeyu was also confused for a moment.
