Chapter 18: Take Refuge



Mu Lin worked very quickly. After the discussion, he wrote down his comments immediately. After he finished writing the comments, Gu Luo checked them over to make sure there were no problems before letting him send them out.

"Hahaha, let me satisfy everyone's curiosity. My bold guess is that it's not a plant, but a beast that looks like a plant, most likely a mimic."

His comment was quickly responded to.

"Dean Mu's guess is very reasonable. I said it doesn't look like a plant, let alone an edible plant."

“So that’s how it is!”

"No wonder! I'm Xie Sen's classmate. He used to be very gloomy because he hadn't awakened his contracted beast. But when I saw him today, he was completely different and very cheerful. It turns out that his contracted beast has awakened."

"Ah, although I know the truth, I am still very disappointed. I thought there would be something big to eat."

"The Mimic sounds interesting. I read a comment before that Xie Sen is from the Department of Botany. Could it be that he has seen a chili tree in the courseware, so he imitated the appearance of a chili tree?"

"It's possible, he is indeed from the plant department!"

“…”

Xie Sen sat on the sofa and read the comments. No one questioned Mu Lin's guess. They all agreed with him. Many people also provided evidence for his guess, showing that what he said made sense.

As expected, he is an authority on contracted beasts.

Xie Sen was very satisfied and felt that his trip was right.

He stood up and said, "Thank you. If everything is ok, I'll leave first."

Gu Luo said, "Wait a moment." He opened the bracelet and sent a document to Xie Sen. "This is the relevant information about plant beast masters. You should learn more about it. The things you should pay attention to are listed above. The attachment is a nutritional formula based on your current physical condition. If you follow the diet listed here, your body will be much better."

Xie Sen saved the information and thanked him again: "Thank you."

Gu Luo said, "You're welcome. I need your help with one more thing. We have very little information about plant-type contract beast owners. I hope you can come once every two weeks so that we can do relevant inspections and record the data."

He added: "It's the same check as before, it won't take you too much time."

Xie Sen thought about it and nodded: "Okay, but please keep my identity confidential."

"Of course, we also think it's safest for you to keep your identity secret. You know, there haven't been plant-type beast masters in many years. If it gets out, it will cause a sensation."

Xie Sen got the answer he wanted and smiled: "Then I'll leave first and come back in half a month."

Xie Sen left the institute and sat in the shuttle cockpit to think. He no longer had to worry about explaining the existence of the chili tree, but he had to worry about accommodation.

It is best to rent a place where you can live for a long time to avoid having to move frequently. The geographical location is also very important. It should be close to the maintenance center so that you spend less time on commuting. Living closer will also make it more convenient to go home if you work late shifts.

And... Xie Sen looked at the bustling street outside the window, the vehicles coming and going, the pedestrians playing and playing, all full of vitality. He liked it very much. No matter who it was, no one could destroy it!

Maine Kes, a handsome face appeared in Xie Sen's mind. No matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like someone who would do something like destroying the Beast Planet.

Or did something happen later that caused his personality to change drastically?

Xie Sen recalled the contents of the book and only remembered that Maine wanted to destroy the Beast Star in order to take revenge on the people of the Kes family. He didn't know what specific grudge he had with the Kes family.

He remembered what he had heard in school before, that Maine was a bastard. Could it be because of this identity?

Xie Sen thought about it over and over again until his head felt dizzy. He rubbed his face and decided not to think about it anymore!

This is easy, just keep an eye on Maine! He must stop such a good boy from turning evil. If he can't stop him, then... kill him when he is at his weakest.

He turned on the navigation, set Maine's residence as the destination, and started the shuttle.

It was less than five o'clock when he arrived, and Maine had not yet returned from school. He parked the shuttle in the parking lot, twisted his luggage bag, and squatted at the door waiting.

When Maine returned home, he was a little surprised to see someone at the door: "Why are you here?"

Xie Sen jumped up from the ground and smiled brightly: "I came to you for help. My grandfather took back the place where I lived. I have nowhere to live. Don't you happen to have an empty room? Rent it to me and I'll pay you the rent."

Maine was stunned and frowned subconsciously: "I'm used to living alone."

Xie Sen quickly assured: "I'm very quiet and will definitely not disturb you."

Maine looked at him without saying anything. Xie Sen's smile froze and he felt a little embarrassed. After all, the two had only known each other for a few days. If he hadn't wanted to observe Maine closely, he wouldn't have been able to bring up the subject.

He scratched the back of his head and said, "I was too abrupt. It's okay. I can find a house to rent nearby."

He smiled again: "You live here, so you should be familiar with it. Do you have any house to recommend?"

"No," Maine said, looking at the disappointed look on the energetic young man's face, he felt a little reluctant. "I rarely pay attention to this kind of news. You can check it out on Starnet."

Xie Sen nodded, and Maine opened the door: "Come in and sit down."

Xie Sen thanked him quickly and followed Maine into the living room. He sat on the sofa and looked for rental information centered on Maine's residence, close to the nursing center.

There are quite a few houses nearby, but there are very few single rooms. The price of a two-bedroom house is relatively expensive, so Xie Sen is reluctant to spend the money.

He looked for more than an hour before finding three good-looking single rooms priced at over a thousand yuan a month. He made an appointment to view the rooms and closed StarNet.

He was about to say goodbye to Maine, but found that Maine had left the living room at some point. He stood up and was about to call out when Maine came out holding a tray in one hand and pushing open the kitchen door with the other.

"I'm leaving now. Thank you."

Maine put the two portions of fried meat on the table and said, "Eat before you leave."

Xie Sen looked at the time. The first house he had booked was for 6:30, and there were only fifteen minutes left, so he had to go there.

"No, my appointment to view the house is about to come." He waved his hand, picked up his luggage and walked out.

Maine frowned, moved his lips, but said nothing and watched him leave.

The landlord of the first single room was a fat uncle who was very enthusiastic and talkative: "It's graduation month recently, and there are many people renting rooms. I'm an honest person, and I haven't raised the price. This is the last single room I have."

After getting out of the elevator, the landlord opened the door. As soon as Xie Sen entered, he paused.

The panting sounds of "hmmmm ahhh" from the room on the right were particularly clear, and Xie Sen was stunned on the spot by the two different male voices.

The fat landlord didn't care at all and said with a smile: "They are a couple in love, and they have a good relationship. They are about the same age as you. It's a good opportunity for you to make friends if you live here."

He pointed to the room next to the panting sound and said, "This is the room. The two rooms opposite are other people. They should be going to work now. They are all young people."

Xie Sen forced himself to smile, opened the bracelet and took a look, revealing an anxious look: "Thank you, I have something urgent to do at work, so I have to leave first."

"Hey, are you going to sign the contract for that house now? If not, I'll rent it to someone else!"

"You can rent it to someone else first. Maybe the company will arrange accommodation for me. Thank you so much."

Xie Sen quickly left the apartment building and walked towards the second rental house. He couldn't help but complain. It was not a single room, but a partition. It was already an interstellar space, but it was a capsule room.

The second one is the closest to Maine's house, in the next building.

The landlord was a man in his thirties, tall and good-looking, with his hair neatly combed back, looking very elite.

The room was also a real single room, decorated very freshly. The landlord took him to see the room, introduced the kitchen and bathroom one by one, and finally came to the bedroom. The landlord asked: "What do you think?"

Xie Sen was very satisfied and nodded: "Not bad."

The landlord smiled and put his arm around his shoulder, pointing to the room: "Do you need any new furniture?"

Xie Sen took a look and found that the bed and cabinets were all there: "No need, they are quite complete."

"You are such a good tenant," the landlord smiled and touched his face, "Nowadays tenants are asking for more and more, which makes it difficult for me."

Xie Sen laughed and said, "Well, my requirements are low, can I reduce the rent a little? You said online that it's 1,500 yuan a month, how about reducing it by 100 yuan?"

"If you want less, of course you can," the landlord leaned down and whispered in his ear, and slid his hand around his shoulder to pat his hip, "You rent a house alone, don't you have a boyfriend?"

Oh my god! Xie Sen was stunned at first, then he came to his senses and pushed the person away. He was actually being harassed!

The landlord looked at him with a smile: "What's wrong? Are you embarrassed? You are an adult now. It's rare for a female of this age to not have a boyfriend..."

"Get lost, I'm a male!" Xie Sen felt sick, spat at him and walked out.

"Is this what your parents told you to protect yourself? Don't leave. Don't you want to rent a house? We can talk about the rent." The landlord followed him.

Xie Sen quickened his pace: "No need to rent, what's the point of chatting."

Xie Sen estimated the size difference between the two men, and took into account that there was no energy in the system to exchange for chili peppers. If he took action, he would definitely suffer. He glanced at the elevator, the 33rd floor, and he was currently on the ninth floor.

Without thinking, he simply walked down the corridor.

Hearing the footsteps coming from behind him, Xie Sen went downstairs even faster: "If you follow me again, I will call the police." He turned on his bracelet as he walked.

"I didn't do anything to you, why are you afraid? It's so late and you haven't rented a room yet, so you don't have a place to stay at night. I'll rent you my house, and the rent will be cheaper as you said."

Xie Sen rolled his eyes and refused to accept the gift.

Xie Sen was panting. The landlord was obviously in better physical condition than him. He took three steps and soon caught up with him. He put his arm around his shoulder and touched his face: "You look even better when you're red now."

Without thinking, Xie Sen raised his foot and kicked him down: "Stop being disgusting!" Then he jumped down the stairs.

The landlord didn't expect that he would kick him without hesitation. He was kicked right in the face. He covered his wound and cried out in pain. The smile on his face disappeared and he said viciously, "You are so shameless. Why are you pretending? Don't accuse me of being ruthless later."

Xie Sen listened to the approaching footsteps behind him and jumped up the stairs faster. When he reached the second floor, he accidentally stepped on the edge of the stairs and fell forward.

It’s over!

The expected pain did not come. Instead, strong arms held my waist and I smelled a clean and refreshing breath.

Xie Sen looked up and saw that Maine's handsome face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and his phoenix eyes looked coldly at the landlord who was following him from above.

The landlord paused, sensing the other party's strength, and said with a smile, "Is he his friend? He wanted to rent a house but suddenly didn't want to rent it, and he didn't want to take the elevator. I was worried that he might be in danger, so I sent him off specially. It's just right that you came to pick him up."

Maine sneered and helped Xie Sen to stand up: "Thank you very much."

As he spoke, he walked up the stairs step by step.
