Chapter 40: Black Market Shopping

【Wolf Dog (Evil type)】

【Level: LV25 (Normal Level)】

【Trait: Intimidate】

【Skills: Ice Fang, Long Howl, Sand Brush, Bite Hold, Roar, Bluff】

【Potential: Elite Level】

They are all wolf dogs whose strength is only Normal Level, clearly not the one Lian Ni Chang had in hand that day.

"Come here!"

Steward Li walked ahead, leading the way.

I must admit, the manor is massive; if no one leads the way,

it would be very easy to get lost.

Soon, the two arrived in front of a four‑story Chinese‑style villa.

At first glance, there was a middle‑aged man wearing a black shirt.

His features bore a certain resemblance to Lian Ni Chang.

It is easy to guess that this man must be Lian Ni Chang's father.

"Ding dong! Little Spirit Cat Boss detected 20 meters ahead!"

【Cat Boss (Normal type)】

【Level: LV31 (Elite Level)】

【Trait: Technical Expert】

【Skills: Scream, Gather Treasure Skill, Bite Hold, Malicious Pursuit, High‑speed Star, One Hundred Thousand Volts】

【Potential: Elite Level】

Hearing the System Prompt Sound at his ear, Lin Mo raised an eyebrow and looked into the distance.

He saw a cat boss as white as snow, lying in the man's arms.

From the cat boss's soft fur and smooth skin.

Lin Mo could judge that this was a pet cat boss.

Pet cat boss.

Many wealthy ladies and big bosses like to keep a few cat‑dog Little Spirits.

And the strength of these Little Spirits generally reflects the owner's prestige.

"You saved Ni Chang!"

Seeing Lin Mo arrive, the man lifted his head, looked at Lin Mo, and a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.

"Hmm!"

Lin Mo was neither servile nor arrogant, and nodded.

"Here's a 500,000‑check!"

The man directly pulled a check from his arms and handed it to Lin Mo: "Consider this my thanks for rescuing Ni Chang!"

"500,000?"

Looking at the check on the table, Lin Mo's mouth curved into a smile: "Then thanks!!"

For Lin Mo, raising Little Spirits is very costly.

When money is handed to the door, naturally one won't refuse.

"But!"

Suddenly, Lian Ni Chang's father's tone changed, saying: "I hope you can keep some distance from Lian Ni Chang in the future!"

???

Lin Mo's sword‑like eyebrows furrowed slightly; he hadn't expected Lian Ni Chang's father to make such a request.

"I'm just an ordinary classmate of hers!"

Lin Mo pursed his lips and said lightly with a smile.

He slipped the check into his pocket, turned around, and left.

"Boss!"

Steward Li watched Lin Mo's back, frowned slightly: "Miss over there!"

Lian's father waved his hand lightly and said: "He's just a slightly clever student; Ni Chang's path cannot afford even the slightest mistake!"

Seeing the scene before him, Steward Li quickly lowered his head.

He said nothing further.

Leaving the villa, it was already dusk.

Although he didn't know what Lian Ni Chang's father's final words meant, the check in his hand was indeed real money.

500,000.

For these tycoons, it might be just half a day's income.

"Ding ling ling!"

At the same time, a crisp phone ringtone rang.

Lin Mo pulled out his phone; the caller ID displayed Lin Keke.

"Black Market opens tonight; see you at 7 o'clock at the Little Spirit Treatment Center!"

As soon as the call connected, Lin Keke's frantic voice came through.

Before Lin Mo could reply, Lin Keke hung up.

"7 p. m.!"

Lin Mo glanced at the phone; it was already half past six.

"Looks like there's no time to go home!"

Lin Mo shook their head slightly and directly flagged down a vehicle:

"Driver, Little Spirit Treatment Center."

At exactly seven o'clock, Lin Mo stood at the entrance of the Little Spirit Treatment Center.

A blue silhouette ran out of the hospital.

Lin Mo fixed their gaze; the newcomer was Lin Keke.

Lin Keke, having taken off the nurse uniform, put on a blue halter top and tight denim jeans.

"You arrived rather punctually."

Lin Keke glanced at Lin Mo, waved a hand and said, "Little brother, come with me!"

"..."

Feeling the disadvantage of age, Lin Mo couldn't help but rub their nose.

Following behind Lin Keke, they soon arrived in front of a dilapidated old house.

"Is this the place?"

Looking at the house before them, Lin Mo's eyes flickered as they asked softly.

"Huh?"

Hearing Lin Mo's words, Lin Keke's face showed surprise: "How did you guess?"

"This is downtown; how can there be such a rundown house!"

Lin Mo pointed at the old house and whispered, "The Black Market should be inside, right?"

Lin Keke nodded, then pulled a hood from her bag with her right hand.

Handed it over.

The hood was pitch black, seeming to have many moving tendrils on it.

"It's made from ghostly smoke and silk; it can conceal your face!"

Lin Keke pointed at the hood and continued, "As long as you wear it, even Psychic Little Spirits can't see through your face!"

"There's also this kind of good stuff?"

Lin Mo's face showed surprise as they looked at the ghostly hood in their hand, exclaiming, "This thing must be pricey!"

In Lin Mo's view, this is the perfect choice for killing and looting.

As long as they have this, they can commit crimes and get away clean.

"Market price: 5,000 per piece!"

Lin Keke smiled lightly: "I'm lending this to you; make sure to give it back to me later!"

Putting on the hood, Lin Mo felt a chilling cold; the flowing black threads felt like tendrils.

Continuously stroking Lin Mo's face.

Pushing open the crumbling door, the interior scene starkly contrasted with the dilapidated exterior.

A red carpet spread from the doorway into the great hall.

On both sides of the corridors were numerous small stalls selling their wares.

As for the individual rooms, they were also sold to merchants.

"Want to check out my shop?"

Lin Keke blinked at Lin Mo.

Bringing Lin Mo here, besides being kind, was also to conveniently do some business.

"What does your shop sell?"

After accepting Lin Keke's favor, if there are needed items, Lin Mo could purchase some appropriately.

"Little Spirit Move Learner!"

Lin Keke raised her right hand, smiling, and said, "Our Little Spirit Move Learners are all excavated from ruins!"

"Guaranteed to be top quality!"

"Little Spirit Move Learner?"

Hearing that, Lin Mo instantly became interested.

In the Secret Realm, Lin Mo obtained a One Hundred Thousand Volts Move Learner, which Miaomiao learned from.

In the later fight against Fossil Helmet, it provided many benefits.

As a Normal-type Miaomiao, the number of moves it can learn through the Move Learner is considerable.

Electric One Hundred Thousand Volts, Thunder, Grass Seed Bomb, and Poison and Psychic moves.

"Take me to see it!"

Lin Mo, holding a 500,000 check, could also spend it on a few Little Spirit Move Learners.
