The Real Way to Cultivate in the City
Chapter 174 - 144: Lin Hao and the Dog (Part 2)
Don’t pretend, sister: If I encounter such a cute dog, I’d want to pet it too. Does your dog have any talents? Can it play dead?
Wangcai saw the message from his online friend, and a hint of disdain appeared on his dog face.
Ordinary dog tricks like shaking hands, spinning, high-five, playing dead...
How could they reflect the professionalism of a dog enthusiast like "Buried Love"?
Thinking of this, Wangcai turned on the front camera, and upon confirming it was recording him, he...
directly executed a backflip, landing steadily on the ground.
After sending this video to the other party...
Don’t pretend, sister: ???
Soon, this message, through various encrypted channels, reached Green’s phone.
After watching the video of the backflipping dog, he looked at the sulking Shell Maiden with pouting lips and proposed his request through the encrypted channel.
Not long after, Wangcai received a new message from "Don’t pretend, sister".
Don’t pretend, sister: What brand shampoo and bath gel do you use for your dog? I want to get the same for my dog.
Shampoo?
Conditioner?
As Lin Hao’s Residual Pill, Wangcai didn’t need those at all.
But as a dog lover with a carefully crafted persona, Wangcai wouldn’t let this scenario collapse.
Buried Love: No brand. I bought a chemical plant to specifically make care products suitable for my dog.
On the internet, identities are self-given.
While Wangcai was chatting enthusiastically, there was a slight noise at the door.
Glancing towards the door with a bit of caution, Wangcai trotted over to a card. The front read—
"With me tonight, you won’t feel lonely."
"Legal business, sweeter than first love."
"A beautiful woman not after your house, not after your car..."
Before Wangcai could finish reading, Lin Hao, who just awoke from meditation, grabbed the card, looked at it, and with a flick of two fingers, a small flame rose at his fingertips, and the card turned to ash in the fire.
The ashes defied the laws of physics and floated briefly before settling into the trash bin.
In Lin Hao’s Divine Thought perception, the person who slipped the card under his door was none other than the driver who brought him to the hotel, wasn’t it?
Is he doing a side job?
Impossible!
According to Lin Hao’s Divine Thought, this person had hidden in the escape passage after slipping the card, peeking into Lin Hao’s room through a small crack.
Is this person, or more accurately, this Extraordinary, targeting me?
But why?
If it were in Ke Chen City, Lin Hao could understand.
After all, in the milk tea circle of Ke Chen City, he stands out, and when one becomes famous, rumors follow.
Some have followed Lin Hao before, but they were stopped outside the City Management Team’s reach. And since Lin Hao’s activities were always so routine and devoid of explosive points, no one followed him into other public places.
Let me see who you really are.
...
"[Group Chat] Good People Live Through Peaceful Times"
Green: Arrange for someone to go to room 888 of the Fly Love-themed hotel.
Nine to Thirteen Returns: 1
After putting down the phone, Green waited patiently.
Earlier, he had staked out for half an hour, and Lin Hao, residing inside, hadn’t acted on his provided intel to find someone for a long night.
So, he’d have to arrange it himself.
Once a professional team sends a good sister to knock on the door, Green would act as the good citizen and call the police. In the end, he’d get Lin Hao’s genetic information...
Ten minutes later, a woman with a graceful figure knocked on Lin Hao’s door.
Meanwhile, in the safe passage, Green activated his phone’s recording function, prepared to call the police as soon as the woman entered.
But under Green’s watchful eyes, the door didn’t open. Instead, something white seemed to float out, merging into the woman’s body.
The next moment, the woman turned to look in Green’s direction, her gaze indifferent.
...
[Residual Pill Ancestor Lin Hao summons White Impermanence Avatar]
[Residual Pill Ancestor Lin Hao assigned the White Impermanence Avatar onto an Overwork Tribe member]
[The Overwork Tribe member’s task was, in principle, unachievable, so to leave on time, he decided to take on the client giving tasks to the boss]
[The Overwork Tribe member discovered the boss’s client]
[The Overwork Tribe member handled the boss’s client]
[The Overwork Tribe member’s spirit of struggle was absorbed]
"Huh?"
Looking at Green, whose face was bruised, and full of scratch marks, lying motionless on the ground, whose life status was unclear.
The woman who had been knocking on Lin Hao’s room moments ago stood there, somewhat at a loss.
Who is this person?
What happened?
What were the details?
In the woman’s mind, the questions she had been asked multiple times over the past few months surfaced subconsciously.
Before, she always claimed not to know.
This time, she genuinely didn’t know.
However, the scene wasn’t favorable.
Time to leave!
The recent order, abort!
Anyway, before leaving, she had to ensure one thing!
Let’s not leave any evidence!
No matter what, the man on the ground was sure to bring trouble, and she already had enough of her own problems; she didn’t want to invite more.
But... where did the nail art sticker on her right middle finger go?
Search, search... the woman found her nail art sticker was embedded in Green’s cheek.
She mercilessly pulled it out.
As she was about to leave, the woman noticed a shell accessory strapped to Green’s wrist; it was particularly striking.
She habitually took off the accessory; this was the habit cultivated during work—pinching a little bit of benefit here, paid slacking there, giving herself a raise, understood by those in the know.
Soon, the woman left the hotel.
"Mwah, you have a serious delivery order, please follow up promptly."
The woman’s phone buzzed quietly.
Yet, somehow, she couldn’t muster any interest in working, instead feeling an urge to find a nice person to marry.
But she hadn’t made enough money yet...
Forget marriage! Forget it!
Since her mindset wasn’t in the right place, she decided not to take any orders today, to give herself a holiday; perhaps...
she was just suffering from occupational burnout.
The self-proclaimed occupationally burned-out woman returned to her less than 50-square-meter rental room.
Placing her phone, wallet, earrings, and the delicately acquired shell on the table.
Today, she was determined to relax without working overtime.
Makeup removal before sleep was essential.
Half an hour later, the woman emerged from the bathroom, with a face mask applied.
But what she saw in the room startled her into a scream...
What did she see, a centaur???
Unlike the woman’s shock or fear, the centaur nonchalantly removed the bow strung across its shoulder, reached into the arrow quiver, and drew an arrow.
Full draw.
Whoosh!
The sound of an arrow slicing through the air echoed in the room.
A vibrant bloom of blood blossomed in the room.
One of these blossoms fell onto the surface of the shell.
And this shell absorbed the blood like a sponge!
Then, a girl dressed in a blood-red robe, her expression icy and alluring, appeared in the room.
Gazing around the room, she spoke:
"Green, that fool, lost me again."
Upon seeing the centaur beside her, she chided:
"Can’t you be a bit more careful when acting? Look at this mess you’ve made; cleaning it up will be truly hard work."
...
The next day, Lin Hao, rested and stable after a night of cultivation, was roused by the knocking of Li Chuchu and Qianqian.
After using Magical Power to clean himself, Lin Hao opened the door.
"Teacher Lin, it’s time to eat, the sun’s already shining."
"Alright."
Lin Hao picked up the room card and left with Qianqian, following Li Chuchu.
Here, she was more familiar than them.
After arriving at the hotel’s second-floor cafeteria, Lin Hao swiped his card, prepared for breakfast.
But the service staff on the second floor stopped Lin Hao:
"Sir, our hotel is having a promotion. Congratulations, you’ve won a prize! We’ll give you a cute, obedient, and well-behaved dog!
Could you tell us what breed you prefer?"
