Chapter 22 40,000 Spirit Stones Flying Away

“Did Lin Luo have a falling out with the Zhang family? This kid has guts! The auction house was speaking in such a weird tone to the second young master of the Zhang family in front of everyone. I guess the two sides will turn against each other this time?”

“No way? Lin Luo is a genius. He broke through to the Martial Master realm just by attending an auction. It’s as if he has no bottlenecks. Would the Zhang family be willing to give him up?”

“But don’t forget; there was also a genius among the guest elders of the Zhang family! Just because he had offended the second young master of the Zhang family! He’s their heir!”

“You guys are really worrying too much! With Lin Luo’s talent, many people are fighting to have him. The Zhang family’s power is great, but it’s nothing compared to those few.”

“If the few above… I wonder if Lin Luo will jump ship…”

Lin Luo and Zhang Chuyu had fallen out. Lin Luo was suspected of having no bottleneck in his breakthrough. He had broken through to Martial Master at the auction.

The two pieces of news spread like wildfire in the city, and all the headlines in the city’s media were about Lin Luo.

Whether it was the core area or the civilian area, almost everyone knew about it!

The commoner district was the most popular.

They had heard that Lin Luo was born there!

In the era of the great catastrophe, entertainment content had been rapidly reduced. The previous mobile phones and computers had all been replaced by communication and information delivery devices.

He was unable to.

The original human society had already been trampled to pieces by Godzilla and all kinds of strange beasts. The few core cities built now were all created by humans with great effort later on.

The exotic beasts were still eyeing them covetously, and no one knew when humans would face a desperate situation again.

What person would still put their mind on entertainment?

Moreover, Earth’s original resources were almost completely destroyed. After the revival of spirit Qi, most technological resources were replaced by cultivation resources with spirit Qi. Therefore, although the core cities kept their media and even communicated with each other, they only operated online and offline newspapers.

This also made everyone pay more attention to the various news in the city.

The moment Lin Luo’s news came out, it immediately attracted everyone’s attention.

In the era of great calamity, what everyone was most happy to see was undoubtedly the appearance of human geniuses, as they represented the hope of mankind.

The eye-catching matter of Lin Luo, who was born a commoner and the heir of the Zhang family crossing swords, was extremely attractive.

However, the faster and wider the second piece of news spread, the more anxious the Zhang family became!

“Shouldn’t these people pay attention to the strength of the warriors and the changes in the strange beasts outside during the era of catastrophe?!”

The head of the Zhang family was so angry that he tore the newspaper apart. “Why are you all so fixated on this kind of thing?!”

The subordinate didn’t dare to say a word, his eyes secretly glancing at the torn newspaper. It was a pity that the writing of this report was quite good.

It was as if the author had seen the entire process live, and his writing was so vivid and fascinating.

Lin Luo didn’t care about the uproar in the city or the Zhang family’s distress.

He was handing over the villa to the original owner.

“Thank you! Thank you!” Mr. Kang held Lin Luo’s hand with his big belly, his eyes brimming with tears.

Lin Luo had to exert a little strength to pull his hand out.

The nauseating feeling of being wrapped in two lumps of fat still lingered on his hands. Lin Luo rubbed them hard twice before he felt better. “Calm down!” Lin Luo raised his head and saw that Mr. Kang was still trying to get closer. He was so scared that he took a few steps back. He didn’t want to be surrounded by fat again! Mr. Kang was not angry. He was grateful and bowed to thank him.

However, he was really too fat. He could barely bend his waist and could no longer go down. The fat on his face jiggled along with his movements.

“Oh, anyway, I’m so grateful to you, Mr. Lin!”

Mr. Kang looked at the villa and wiped his nose.

“Mister Lin, you don’t know, but ever since something happened to my family, I’ve been thinking of selling this villa.”

“But! Those people didn’t know what was good! Such a beautiful place was simply heaven! They actually didn’t want it!”

Mr. Kang beat his chest, deeply heartbroken. Lin Luo pulled Lin Meng’er to stand a little further away. On the surface, he consoled her without much emotion. “Maybe it’s too expensive.”

He was probably the only one who could spend 100000 spirit stones to buy a villa without any spiritual energy.

“Impossible!”

Mr. Kang retorted Lin Luo firmly, “I put up 60000 spiritual stones then, but no one bought it at such a low price.

“But Mister Lin is willing to buy it for 100000 spirit stones! They’re clearly just boorish people who don’t know how to appreciate art!” 60,000 spiritual stones?

Lin Luo was dumbfounded, and his mouth was wide open. “You sold it for 60000 spirit stones?”

“That’s right, but 60000 spirit stones aren’t good enough for Mr. Lin, who can appreciate art!”

Mr. Kang shook his head again and again. “No, no, no! That price is an insult to Mr. Lin.”

F*ck!

I’m not afraid of being humiliated! Lin Luo wished he could shake the fatso’s shoulders and let him humiliate him.

He lacked 40000 spirit stones! That was 40000 spirit stones!

At the auction, Lin Luo did not accept the 50000 spiritual stones as compensation because he could not reconcile with Zhang Chuyu. Zhang Chuyu had forced uncle Zhang into such a difficult situation. Uncle Zhang treated Meng’er as his own daughter and was extremely good to her.

Although she was always angry and had a bad temper, Lin Luo could still see her concern for him.

He wasn’t a man of noble character, but at least he could tell right from wrong and wasn’t an ungrateful wolf who would return kindness with ingratitude.

Mister Kang was still passionately praising Lin Luo, but Lin Luo looked at him as if he was looking at 40000 spirit stones that had grown wings and flown away. “You can leave.”

Lin Luo clutched his chest, eyes listless as he chased them away.

“Hurry up and leave!”

If he didn’t leave now, he was afraid that he would force the fatty to spit out the 40000 spirit stones.

“Then I won’t bother you anymore, Mister Lin.

I wish you a happy life.”

Mister Kang sneaked away very quickly. When he got the spiritual stone, his steps became much lighter.

“Brother.” Lin Meng’er held onto Lin Luo’s arm and said worriedly, “Are you alright?”

“I’m fine. My heart just hurts a little.”

“Ah?” Meng’er was immediately anxious. “Why does your heart hurt? Let’s go see the doctor.”

“I’m alright. I’m fine, I’m fine.” Lin Luo quickly put down the hand that was covering his chest. Lin Meng’er didn’t believe him.

Lin Luo jumped up and down a few times.

“Look, I’m really fine.”

After carefully sizing up Lin Luo for a while, Lin Meng’er finally relaxed. “Then, brother, if you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me.”

“Good, good, good!” Lin Luo’s heart softened from his sister’s obedient look.

“This villa is a gift from me to you. Go and take a look.”

Lin Meng’er’s almond eyes brightened, and she hugged Lin Luo tightly. “Let’s go and take a look.” Lin Luo patted Meng ‘er.

“Alright!”

After all, she was a little girl. When Lin Meng’er entered and saw the beautiful villa and the backyard full of flowers, she was so happy that she jumped up and down, her smile dazzling.

Lin Luo’s heart no longer ached for the 40000 spiritual stones. Meng’er’s happiness was the most important thing.
