Chapter 2024: Money Can Solve It

m"Lin Dui!?"

"Brother Lin!!"

"Overjoyed!"

"Upon hearing Lin An's familiar voice, Zhang Tie and the others felt as if they had found their mainstay, instinctively shouting excitedly as they rushed to regroup."

"In the blink of an eye, Gao Tian's face changed and he froze in place."

"They had already sent a message to Lin An!"

"He knew Lin An seemed to have an ambiguous relationship with the Overseer, so he believed Lin An would try to ask the Overseer for help to resolve the imminent danger."

"But seeing only Brother Lin appear, Gao Tian's heart sank to the bottom of the valley."

"Overseer... won't show up for such a small matter...?"

"(Brother Lin! Don't worry about us! Quickly find a way to leave first! Someone among them has exchanged for a tracking Prop!)"

"Without time to think, Gao Tian anxiously looked at Lin An. No one knows when the exchange space will close; given their strength, they'd likely be instantly killed the moment it shuts."

"At the same moment, Qing Kai was momentarily stunned, then burst into angry laughter, looking at Lin An as if he were a corpse."

"Commendable courage."

"Lin An, I thought you'd flee immediately, but I didn't expect you'd dare provoke us. Wanting to die—at least die with some dignity?"

"Do you really think this is still a mission?"

"His voice was icy cold."

"As a Star-Destroyer, Qing Kai naturally wouldn't talk back. He hardly needs to say more—Lin An is surely doomed!"

"Lord Qing Kai, it looks like this monkey truly seeks death. Heck, he probably doesn't even know what a Star-Destroyer is, does he?"

"Having always disliked Lin An, the Divine Archer snorted coldly, directly signaling everyone to surround Lin An, secretly also preparing tracking Props just in case."

"He excels at long-range strikes; with preparation, he can follow spatial transmission to chase and kill enemies."

"He had thought it over: Lin An's arrogance suggests he might have exchanged for an escape tool, but even if he had, it wouldn't matter—in fact, he hopes Lin An acts even more arrogantly, as that would confirm he has an escape tool."

"Lin An! Stay calm! Step back behind me for now!"

"Gu Siman's heart sank; without time to wonder why Lin An was adding fuel to the fire, he could only raise his war hammer in front of Lin An to deter the other two sides."

"In an instant, the exchange space seemed to split into three factions: one side was him and the hesitant Golden Bull Hai Yao; another side consisted of four Star-Destroyers led by Qing Kai; the third side was Pan Xing, who simultaneously doubted everyone."

"Under the clash of auras, all at least Fifth Stage, Jiang Haochen and the others caught in between found even breathing somewhat difficult."

"Gu Siman fared no better; frankly, he didn't know what to do in the current situation."

"If mishandled, even if he gave his all to protect Lin An, he'd be powerless; he might even get dragged in himself."

"(What should I do!?)"

"Just as Gu Siman took a deep breath, planning to quickly speak with Lin An in private, Lin An suddenly turned his head toward him and gave a light smile."

"Big guy, you keep your word."

"These three hundred points, I'm giving them to you."

"Huh!?"

"Gu Siman was stunned; the next second, a notification of point transfer suddenly sounded:"

"Ding, player Lin An gifts you 400 Apocalypse points!"

"What is this!?"

"The sudden points stunned Gu Siman; although 400 points aren't astonishing, for any Fifth Stage it's a considerable fortune."

"Faced with such a windfall, Gu Siman instinctively thought Lin An was giving up resistance, planning to thank him before death."

"For a moment, Gu Siman, though foul-mouthed yet innately proud, felt a mix of emotions."

"Lin An! No need to thank me! Give it back! I said I wasn't doing it for your points..."

"Before Gu Siman could finish, the next second a transfer notification sounded again."

"This time, it was the Golden Bull who was stunned."

"Ding, player Lin An gifts you 200 Apocalypse points!"

"I have some too!?"

"Lin An?! What are you doing!?"

"After two consecutive point gifts, everyone present was stunned, utterly baffled by what Lin An was doing; to Qing Kai and the others, it felt like he was giving away his own belongings."

"And the Divine Archer, after snapping back, angrily shouted:"

"Punk! What do you think you're doing!? Idiot! Do you really think giving away points will spare your life!?"

"Anxious as burning, seeing Lin An already initiating a trade with the bewildered Hai Yao, the Divine Archer reacted most intensely, almost jumping up in excitement."

"That's his! All of it is his!"

"However, Lin An couldn't be bothered to pay him any heed."

"Lin An let out a sneer, calmly looked at the Divine Archer and the others, and spoke softly:"

"This mission's reward is two thousand points; oh, I still have fourteen hundred left."

"Come over and call me 'dad'; whoever calls me dad gets two hundred points—I'm in a good mood, so three or four hundred isn't impossible!"

"Think it through; the points are limited—if you call too late, they'll be gone..."

"Having said that, Lin An tilted his head, utterly arrogant to the extreme."

"From the start he'd planned how to handle this crisis: just throw money at it, spending a sum that's mere pocket change for him! Although letting Big Eyeball or the Shen Yuan Remains act could instantly wipe out everyone,"

"But it's too uneconomical; he doesn't really want to expose his connection with 77, especially since Big Eyeball is clearly compromised and can't protect him for now. Attracting other Overseers would be real trouble."

"Yet the cost of having the Shen Yuan Remains act is far greater than these two thousand points!"

"Of course, his money isn't easy to come by; when the time comes, old and new debts will be tallied together—basically a loan shark operation!"

"Punk! You're asking for death! A mere Fourth Stage dares to insult us—I'll exterminate every person of your civilization!!"

Qing Kai sir! Give me a copy of their planet's coordinates! I'll be the vanguard!!

Uncontainable fury!

Almost the instant Lin An finished speaking, the Divine Arrow Qi didn't even bother with his identity, its soaring killing intent instantly locked onto Lin An.

And the other Fifth Stage cultivators present stared at Lin An like madmen! Their killing intent surged, each as if wanting to crush Lin An's bones and scatter his ashes, executing him on the spot!

However, the anger seemed to last only that instant.

The next second, a gentle-sounding voice suddenly echoed from the direction of Pan Star.

Lord Lin An, why be so overbearing?

Our Pan Star Alliance thanks you for your rescue, though calling you 'dad' was a bit over the top, but we thank you and are still willing.

As the words fell, at the moment Qing Kai's pupils contracted, the Pan Star Alliance's Star Destroyer seemed to have not heard Lin An's insult at all, walking toward Lin An with a beaming smile.

I am Qingtian; two hundred points are enough, three hundred would be better.

Lord Lin An, we really need points.

After saying that, the Star Destroyer Qingtian, who was about three times Lin An's size, without hesitation bowed to Lin An, then spread his hands asking for money.

Haha! Good!

I'll reward you three hundred!
