Chapter 150: Someone Has to Keep Watch!

Gazing at the massive fossils, Lin Mo's expression remained unchanged as he looked at the fossils before him.

He walked slowly toward the distance.

"Dingdong! A Little Spirit Spiny Chrysanthemum Stone Beast detected ten meters ahead!"

【Spiny Chrysanthemum Stone Beast (Water/Rock)】

【Level: lv46 (Quasi King Level)】

【Trait: Leisurely and At Ease】

【Skills: Roll, Water Gun, Mud Shot, Primordial Force, Brine】

【Potential: Quasi King】

Hearing the System Prompt Sound in his ears, Lin Mo raised an eyebrow slightly.

Staring at the colossal fossil before him, about two people tall, he murmured softly, "What's the price for this?"

A Quasi King-level Spiny Chrysanthemum Stone Beast is priced at around 2,000,000.

If the price is right, it could be bought.

Upon hearing Lin Mo, the female shop assistant smiled brightly, "This is our shop's prized treasure; it requires 2,000,000!"

"???"

Listening to the shop assistant, Lin Mo's face darkened; did this person know what was inside the fossil?

Otherwise, why sell it outright for 2,000,000?

Thinking of that, Lin Mo couldn't help but shake his head, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes.

After all, for him, the fossil's price equals that of the Little Spirit inside it.

Lin Mo naturally saw no need to waste that money.

To go sell it.

Lin Mo shook his head slightly, his gaze turning toward the back of the shop.

"Is there anything else good?"

Hearing Lin Mo, the shop assistant hurriedly led him toward the back of the shop.

"Esteemed guest, please follow me!"

Listening to the shop assistant, Lin Mo nodded slightly.

He walked toward the back of the shop.

Various fossils were displayed on both sides, each marked with a price below.

"Nothing really good!"

Lin Mo shook his head and sighed.

These items simply don't catch Lin Mo's eye.

"Dingdong! Evil-aligned gemstone fragment (50%) detected a hundred meters ahead!"

"???"

Hearing the System Prompt Sound, Lin Mo hurried forward, his eyes fixed on a jet‑black fossil.

It was about half a human's height.

It was protected by a layer of transparent glass.

Glancing at the fossil before him, Lin Mo looked down.

The price was only 600,000.

Lin Mo was quite satisfied with that price.

Seizing the moment, he produced a bank card and handed it to the maid in front of him.

"I'll take this fossil!"

Hearing Lin Mo, the maid's face lit up with joy, and she quickly said, "Alright, alright!"

As she spoke, the maid took the bank card, turned, and pulled out a POS device.

Swipe, pay, collect.

All in one smooth motion.

The fossil before him was now Lin Mo's.

After buying the fossil, Lin Mo didn't hesitate further and looked toward the distant fossils.

Hoping for another unexpected find.

He quickened his pace and walked forward.

No System Prompt Sound came from his ears.

Clearly, nothing good was encountered.

Thinking that, Lin Mo glanced at the distant fossils and shook his head slightly.

He then turned and walked toward the distance.

None of the previous items were present.

Realizing this, Lin Mo shook his head, looked at the maid, and asked, "Nothing else?"

…

"Is there nothing else that catches your eye?"

The maid looked at Lin Mo, surprise on her face.

Lin Mo nodded, then said, "Pack that up for me!"

The attribute gemstone was exceedingly rare, so Lin Mo naturally didn't intend to open it here.

"Alright!"

The fossil is too large, so naturally customers won't take it home.

There are designated people who will deliver these fossils to the house.

Lin Mo also enjoyed the leisure, turned around, and left the Little Spirit shop.

He didn't know whether there were any other shops nearby.

From a rough glance, it seemed that no new shops had opened for almost half a year.

After wandering the streets for a while, Lin Mo returned alone to his villa.

Immediately after, a pitch‑black fossil was already delivered to his doorstep.

"Please sign for it!"

Looking at the delivery slip brought by the man in a black uniform, Lin Mo glanced at the fossil.

A System Prompt Sound rang in his ears.

It was clearly that fossil, no doubt.

Since the cargo was correct, Lin Mo didn't hesitate and signed the slip outright.

After signing, Lin Mo stared at the pitch‑black fossil in front of him, about half a person's size.

"Gill Fish Dragon!"

As soon as Lin Mo finished speaking, a pale‑blue Gill Fish Dragon nearby shook its head.

It quickly lunged to Lin Mo's side.

"Help move it inside!"

Lin Mo pointed at the fossil before him and shouted to the Gill Fish Dragon.

Hearing Lin Mo's words, the Gill Fish Dragon swayed its head, looking quite displeased.

"Here!"

Lin Mo handed over an Energy Cube, which landed in front of the Gill Fish Dragon, and said, "This is for you!"

The Gill Fish Dragon opened its mouth and swallowed the Energy Cube.

"Clack! Clack!"

With a series of crisp clacking sounds, the translucent Energy Cube was chewed vigorously.

It turned into strands of dense crystal that were gulped down.

Consequently, a faint blue glow surged around the Gill Fish Dragon's body.

"Wooo! Wooo!"

After eating the Energy Cube, the Gill Fish Dragon became very excited and struck the fossil in front of it with force.

"Rest!"

With a sharp whooshing sound, the fossil in front of it flew away like a sandbag.

It landed heavily in the center of the courtyard.

"Item: Hua Shi Rong Jie Ye!"

Lin Mo called out to Xu Qiqi inside the house.

Xu Qiqi ran over and arrived at Lin Mo's side.

Looking at Xu Qiqi, Lin Mo smiled gently, took the bottle of Item: Hua Shi Rong Jie Ye, and received it.

He poured it directly onto the fossil.

"Sizzle!"

A series of harsh burning sounds rang out, a sharp sizzling.

The Item: Hua Shi Rong Jie Ye continuously corroded the fossil, and thick, dense smoke curled around it.

From a distance, droplets of black fossil liquid could be seen falling to the ground.

After a short while, a palm‑sized black evil gemstone appeared in his hand.

Looking at the evil gemstone in his hand, Lin Mo showed a delighted expression.

The evil gemstone before him was only half remaining.

It emitted a faint evil energy.

Lin Mo stroked his chin, a slight smile curving his mouth, and said, "Now there's only the final half of the evil gemstone left!"

…

Thinking of this, Lin Mo turned to Xu Qiqi and asked with a smile, "Is everything at home tidied up?"

Hearing Lin Mo's question, Xu Qiqi shook her head, a hint of helplessness flashing in her eyes.

"There isn't much at home, but these fruit trees need someone to tend them!"

Looking at the fruit trees before him, Xu Qiqi furrowed her brows slightly.

She was clearly uneasy about those few fruit trees.

Hearing Xu Qiqi's words, Lin Mo stroked his chin and said softly, "I'll be going to study in Zhuhai for half a year; the house really does need someone to watch over it!"

"Preferably someone who knows fruit‑tree knowledge!"

Thinking of this, Lin Mo looked at Xu Qiqi and smiled, "That will depend on luck."

……

Several days later.

Lin Mo arrived alone at a remote district of the city.

This counted as a civilian area within Jinling City.

Mostly ordinary families lived there.

Skirting these districts, Lin Mo soon appeared before a dilapidated old town area.

The people living here are mostly from poor families.

Many are also relatives of trainers who died inside the Secret Realm.

Therefore, in Lin Mo's view, coming here to find a child from a poor family to guard his own villa is ideal.

It couldn't be better.

Dingdong! At fifty meters ahead, a Little Spirit walking grass was detected!

Hearing the System Prompt Sound at his ear, Lin Mo raised an eyebrow, a hint of disbelief flashing in his eyes.

There could actually be a Little Spirit here.

Little Spirits are extremely rare, and normally such a poor place wouldn't have any.

Thinking of that, Lin Mo felt excited and strode forward.

Around a few remote old defense zones, a naive young girl was playing with a walking grass.

Not far from the walking grass were several various fruit trees.

Although the fruit trees were quite ordinary, their growth clearly showed they had been cultivated using some discarded techniques.

Otherwise they wouldn't have grown so robustly.

"Let's see if this girl can help with cultivation!"

Thinking of that, Lin Mo took a long look at the fruit trees before walking toward the girl.

"Hello, may I ask if you cultivated all these fruit trees?"

Hearing Lin Mo, the girl lifted her head, stared at him, a hint of confusion in her eyes.

"Yes, what's the matter?"

Although the girl wore simple clothes, she gave off a very gentle impression.

She looked at Lin Mo and said, "These are the fruit I cultivated!"

Listening to the girl, Lin Mo's eyes flashed with pleasure, and he asked, "May I know why you cultivate these fruits?"

"Of course, to sell for money!"

The girl pursed her lips and whispered, "My family is rather poor; we have to survive on these fruits!"

"How much do you earn per month from cultivating these fruits?"

Lin Mo felt a slight stir in his heart and looked at the girl before him.

The girl stared at Lin Mo, puzzled, "This doesn't seem to involve you at all!"

Hearing her, Lin Mo's mouth twitched into a smile, "I intend to give you a job!"

The girl examined Lin Mo from head to toe and found his simple, plain attire made him not look like an idle person.

"Then you must pay me 1500 per month; can you do that?"

…

In this world, money's purchasing power is strong; 1500 is equivalent to 7500.

This wage is already extremely high.

The girl looked at Lin Mo with interest, wondering what expression he would make.

Lin Mo's mouth twitched into a smile, "As long as you can help me cultivate enough fruit, the 1500 is fine!"

For Lin Mo, 1500 is negligible.

"But my fruit trees are not simple!"

"I don't know if you can cultivate them well!"

"And my fruit trees are very precious; can you take them?"

"Don't think my cultivated fruit trees are ordinary; as long as it's fruit, I will cultivate it!"

Looking at the confident girl, Lin Mo nodded slightly, glanced at her, and asked, "Attribute fruit trees!"

"Dragon, Fire, Rock Attribute, Evil"

Lin Mo glanced at the girl and asked, "Are you confident?"

"This.

"

Hearing Lin Mo mention those precious fruits, the girl widened her eyes, her gaze full of disbelief.

Apparently she didn't expect Lin Mo to have such precious fruits in his hands.

These fruit trees sell for millions each.

"I need to see them with my own eyes before I can answer you!"

The girl swallowed, and whispered.

Listening to her, Lin Mo nodded with satisfaction.

If he agreed outright, Lin Mo would still be uncertain.

Now hesitating, it is clear there is some possibility.

Looking at the girl before him, Lin Mo licked his lips and whispered, "If you're not afraid, would you come with me for a trip?"

"What's the matter?"

The girl pursed her lips and quickly followed.

The two walked one after another and reached outside the street.

A taxi stopped in front of them.

"Stop!"

The taxi moved extremely fast, taking only a dozen minutes.

It arrived at the villa's front.

Is this where you live?

Looking at the villa ahead, the girl's face showed envy, unable to help saying: "I don't even know when I'll be able to have my own villa!"

Hearing the girl's words, Lin Mo smiled slightly: "You'll also have a chance in the future!"

While speaking, Lin Mo led the girl into the villa.

Looking at those exquisite villas, the girl's face showed envy.

Woof woof woof!

Dozens of black lugas growled, barking incessantly at the girl.

Especially the leading black lugas with quasi-Heavenly King strength, coldly gazing at the girl beside Lin Mo.

If it weren't for Lin Mo being here, it might have already pounced and killed.

Looking at these black lugas, Lin Mo whispered: "Don't make a noise!"

Hearing Lin Mo's words, a group of black lugas lay on the ground, not daring to make a sound at all.

It is quite obvious that they are still very afraid of Lin Mo.

Pushing the door open and entering, what met the eyes were several fruit trees.

Wow!

Looking at those fruit trees, the girl exclaimed and quickly ran toward the fruit trees.

As for the many Little Spirits in the yard, they were completely left aside.

Indeed, compared to those fruit trees, the Little Spirits are hardly worth mentioning.

The girl kept sizing up the fruit trees before her, looking very excited.

"Help me manage these fruit trees, and you can also live in the villa!"

Lin Mo pointed to the villa beside him and smiled: "I can give you 2000 each month, mainly to help me cultivate these fruit trees and also feed these Little Spirits!"

Hearing Lin Mo's words, the girl widened her eyes and whispered: "If that's the case, I'll take this job!"

Regarding Lin Mo's conditions, the girl had no reason to disagree; she nodded firmly.

"So, we still haven't introduced ourselves!"

While speaking, Lin Mo looked at the girl before him and smiled: "My name is Lin Mo; may I ask your esteemed surname and name?"

"My name is Zhu Wenwen!"

Zhu Wenwen gave a graceful smile: "I see you're not old either; how do you have so many attribute fruit trees and so many Little Spirits!"

"You must be a very skilled Little Spirit trainer!"

Xu Wenwen looked at Lin Mo, her eyes full of surprise.

Lin Mo glanced at the girl, nodded: "Not bad, but that's about it!"

Hearing Lin Mo's words, the girl pouted: "I don't believe it!"

Lin Mo slightly shook his head, ignoring the girl's words, and instead asked: "When can you start work?"

"Anytime! Anywhere!"
