74 -73 The First Bounty Received_1

“Thank you for your enthusiastic answer.

Your response has been accepted, and the reward money will be transferred to your reserved bank account within three working days.

Please check it!”

“Thank you for your contribution to the Origin Forum.

You have been awarded 10 Reputation points and 10 God Coins!”

“Wish you a pleasant life!”

Lin Baici looked at the messages from the forum, feeling excited, anticipatory, and a bit incredulous.

Had he just earned thirty thousand yuan?

Since the official forum had sent a message, they wouldn’t go back on their word, right?

Alas!

Why wait for three days?

It’s so hard to endure!

But Lin Baici thought about it, and simply by answering a post, telling the original poster what the patterns on three photos meant, he could easily make thirty thousand yuan, easier than picking up money, so waiting three days wasn’t unacceptable.

He didn’t know what use the Reputation points and God Coins had, but since he couldn’t use them at the moment, he didn’t need to pay attention to them.

Lin Baici closed the messages and entered the third “Help and Reward” section.

The original post “Help, what do the patterns on these three pictures mean?

Does anyone know?” had already closed the reply function, marking the post with a big red “Reward ended, resolved” at the front.

Lin Baici looked at the other posts, noting that if the help request wasn’t solved within the reward time, the title would read “Reward ended, unfortunately, unresolved.”

[Buy, buy, buy, buy all these Taboo things!]

Eater God suddenly spoke up, startling Lin Baici.

“Do you think I can afford that?”

Lin Baici was speechless and wanted to hint at Eater God to tell him more answers to the help requests.

This section had three sticky posts at the top, which were the most concerning help requests of the forum members at the moment, with lots of replies, but they were just bumping the thread.

Lin Baici clicked on the first post.

“Help, the current number of Taboo things in the Qin Palace Divine Ruins and detailed intelligence!”

Reward money: one piece of intelligence on a Taboo thing, ten million yuan!

Reward time: six months.

As of today, it had been seventeen days.

This post was new, but it had many replies, over two thousand.

Although Lin Baici didn’t know where the Qin Palace Divine Ruins were, he figured this Divine Ruin must be very famous, otherwise, it wouldn’t attract the attention of so many God Hunters.

Of course, it was also difficult, which could be inferred from the amount the original poster was offering.

As Lin Baici browsed the page, he saw the post he had seen for the first time.

“Help, this should be a Taboo thing, but it hasn’t been sealed by the black coffin in five years, yet it hasn’t caused rule pollution.

Does anyone know why?”

After waiting ten days, the original poster apparently lost patience, stopped being secretive, and posted more photos of the Taboo thing.

It was a piece of porcelain, shaped somewhat like a urinal from the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Even if it wasn’t a Taboo thing, it should be an antique and could probably sell for a lot of money.

[Ugh, a very disgusting Taboo thing that makes one lose all appetite just by looking at it.]

[After mixing the urine of five different creatures and pouring it into the jug, a urine pool will immediately unfurl.

One must swim out a thousand meters and cannot stop during the swim to escape from the rule pollution.]

Lin Baici pursed his lips, realizing the activation method was so bizarre, no wonder the owner of the Taboo thing couldn’t find a way to deal with it.

He scrolled down the page, and the replies were all “only visible to the original poster,” so Lin Baici didn’t know if anyone got it right, but he figured the odds were against it.

The reward money for this help request, fifty thousand yuan, was as good as in his pocket.

Lin Baici was ready to reply, but hesitated.

Don’t rush,

Wait until he gets his hands on the thirty thousand yuan reward first to confirm he won’t be scammed by the forum, then he can answer.

“Guys, it’s getting late.

Shouldn’t we go to sleep?”

Liu Yu had chatted for a while and was planning to sleep, suggesting an end to the dormitory night talk.

“What time is it even?”

Xu Daguan was a night owl and felt uncomfortable without staying up late.

“Early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise!”

Liu Yu found an excuse, “School just started, let’s try to establish a good routine!”

“Alright, alright, let’s wash up and sleep then!”

Xu Daguan could see that Liu Yu was very self-centered; once he wanted to sleep, nobody else could keep chatting, otherwise, he would find various reasons to interfere.

A troublesome person.

Xu Daguan didn’t like Lin Baici purely because he had lost some face at the check-in spot that afternoon, but he understood that with the other’s handsome looks and the Rolex he wore, he indeed couldn’t compete.

In other respects, Lin Baici was fine as a person.

This could be seen from the attitudes of Fang Mingyuan, Hu Wenwu, and Qian Jiahui towards him; managing to be on good terms with three definite misfits and seeming willing to try to be friends with him proved that Lin Baici had charm.

“Then I’ll wash first!”

Liu Yu went to the balcony, stood by the wash basin, and started his nighttime routine.

Hu Wenwu lay in bed, unable to sleep.

He felt the difference between him and his new roommates was simply too great.

One was a rich second-generation who treated money like paper, spending in one night on a female livestreamer what his father made in a year.

Another was an energetic sports student, and Hu Wenwu envied that fellow’s healthy and robust body.

And then there was the livestreamer, Xu Daguan, who could already support himself while still in university, making Hu Wenwu envious and admiring at the same time; he, too, wanted to be self-reliant and earn big money quickly.

Liu Yu was ordinary, but he had a section chief father.

Seeing how that uncle reprimanded people, he must be big official, right?

Also, Liu Yu was very confident, speaking his mind freely, certainly much stronger than Hu Wenwu himself, who was quite spineless.

And then there was Lin Baici, who slept in the bunk above him.

He was handsome, kind-hearted, and as for family conditions, he didn’t wear Nike or Adidas.

Although his clothes were definitely better than Wenwu’s, they seemed to be just from an ordinary blue-collar family, right?

Those two rich second-generation officials, that is in their lineage: something a person isn’t born with and most likely will never have in their life.

Being a student with a sports specialty is like being fed by the heavens, plus hard work…

Lin Baici could never become a host.

Hu Wenwu thought it through and felt that Lin Baici was pretty average, the only one he might have a chance to catch up with.

“Bai Ci, it’s your turn for the shower!”

Qian Jiahui came out from the balcony, shaking off his wet hair.

“Wenwu, Xu Daguan, do you two want to shower first?”

Lin Baici didn’t make a move.

“You go first!”

Hu Wenwu didn’t care; after all, it wouldn’t take but a few minutes to wait.

“I’m too tired today, not showering!”

Xu Daguan was already stripped down, lying on his bed in just a pair of boxer briefs, not even covered by a blanket.

“…”

Lin Baici was instantly speechless.

Dude, you’ve got athlete’s foot, and after traveling all day, you won’t even wash up?

Forget it,

this is personal freedom, none of his business.

Lin Baici jumped off the bed and had just taken off his T-shirt when Fang Mingyuan exclaimed in shock.

“Damn!” Fang Mingyuan immediately rushed over in his slippers and reached out to touch Lin Baici’s abs: “How did you get these muscles?”

Thwack!

Lin Baici slapped Fang Mingyuan’s hand away.

Qian Jiahui looked over, utterly dumbstruck.

That physique was too muscular, wasn’t it?

Now Xu Daguan only had one thought: he did not regret losing in the afternoon at all.

The senior girl truly knew her stuff; she had recognized at a glance that Lin Baici had more to offer.

Even as a guy, he was impressed!

Liu Yu took a sip of water to suppress the jealousy welling up inside him.

“I was wrong.

Student Lin definitely isn’t ordinary.

How could a common person discipline themselves enough to build that kind of muscle?”

Hu Wenwu reflected on himself.

“Xiao Bai, can you train me?

I don’t aim to get muscles like yours, just half would do, and I’ll pay you three hundred thousand yuan!”

The moment Qian Jiahui named his price, everyone’s faces were instantly adorned with shock, and then envy.

In Liu Yu’s eyes, there was also a hint of jealousy.

Given Qian Jiahui’s generous tipping attitude during the livestream, Lin Baici would definitely get the three hundred thousand yuan if he agreed to train him.

That’s three hundred thousand yuan!

You could buy so many things with that!

Fang Mingyuan, being a student with a sports specialty, had a goal to join the provincial team or at least to strive to become a fitness coach; earning three hundred thousand yuan a year was his ideal salary.

“Xiao Bai, why don’t you hurry up and agree?”

Xu Daguan chimed in to persuade.

“Sorry, I don’t know much about fitness, I can’t help you!”

Lin Baici was unable to assist.

“If Xiao Bai doesn’t know about fitness and rashly teaches you, it might cause physical injuries.

After all, everyone’s body is different and requires a tailored fitness plan.”

Fang Mingyuan did know a bit, but Qian Jiahui didn’t require his help.

“Alright then!”

Qian Jiahui was quite disappointed.

Liu Yu thought Lin Baici was a fool.

He could casually teach for a month, and if it didn’t work out, he surely wouldn’t get three hundred thousand yuan, but based on Qian Jiahui’s personality, wouldn’t he still be given fifty to sixty thousand yuan anyway?

It seemed that all of Lin Baici’s talents went into his looks and physique.

Fang Mingyuan and Hu Wenwu felt that Lin Baici, faced with the temptation of three hundred thousand yuan, did not go against his conscience to teach Qian Jiahui, which spoke volumes about his character…

Top-notch!

Everyone had just arrived in a new environment and was too excited to sleep.

Xu Daguan tried to initiate a conversation several times, but was stopped by Liu Yu.

In the end, left with no choice, Xu Daguan suggested they chat in the corridor.

“Let’s go, how about we play cards for a bit?”

Qian Jiahui and Fang Mingyuan both got up, and also called Lin Baici along.

He couldn’t keep sleeping either, so he put on a pair of shorts and got out of bed.

In all the student dormitories, the lights were scheduled to turn off at 11 p.m.

sharp, but the corridor lights stayed on.

“Seems like no one can sleep!”

Fang Mingyuan noticed there were many people in the corridor.

Apart from Liu Yu, the five of them chatted and played cards until past 2 a.m.

before going to sleep.

Lin Baici lay in bed, hoping for a colorful university life over the next four years.

He had planned to find a part-time job to earn his living expenses and reduce his mother’s burden, but now it wasn’t necessary.

Even if he didn’t get the job at the Jiuzhou Security Bureau, by answering questions on the Origin Forum, he could make some money.

However, to get rich and afford a house in Haijing, he would need to enter the Divine Ruins and collect Taboo things.

The only problem was, without a God Hunter License, freelance hunters weren’t allowed to possess Taboo things, let alone enter the Divine Ruins.

If he did get his hands on Taboo things, they would be confiscated by the Security Bureau.

So no matter when, joining an official organization, taking the government’s rice, and holding a secure job, was the most comfortable option.

…

The next morning at eight o’clock, Lin Baici woke up hungry.
