[Rare Herb: Yin Sustaining Grass x1]
[Quest Item: Falcon Blood Essence x1]
A total of six items, four of which are Spirit Grade equipment and skills.
This drop rate and equipment quality made Su Wanling and the female mage start to doubt if they were playing the same game as Lin Jichen.
Could it be that the first kill of a boss has a higher chance of dropping good items?
Only this reason could somewhat convince them.
"These are all the items. As agreed, the Yin Sustaining Grass is mine, and I'll pick one more item as my reward. No problem, right?" Lin Jichen said.
The female mage shook her head slightly, and Lin Jichen thought she was going to agree.
Unexpectedly, she changed her mind.
"Mr. Lin, you killed the falcon alone. We originally had no right to take the equipment. These items should all belong to you."
"No, we had an agreement. You were the ones who started fighting the falcon. I just took the first kill and already gained a lot. Besides, if it weren't for you holding off the Blood Fiend members, I wouldn't have had the chance. I'll just take one item as my reward."
Lin Jichen insisted, and seeing this, the female mage had no choice but to agree.
Lin Jichen didn't hesitate and chose the gauntlets.
The attributes of these gauntlets were excellent. Even if he couldn't use them, he could sell them for a good price.
As for the other items, Lin Jichen wasn't too interested, except for a spear cultivator's spirit skill book, which had decent attributes.
But spirit skills required the Foundation Establishment Realm to learn.
At this stage, even if he sold it, it wouldn't fetch a good price.
So Lin Jichen chose the Storm Gauntlets. This piece of equipment would make all the physical cultivators in Tale of Immortal drool with envy.
After selecting his items, Lin Jichen didn't touch anything else.
The female mage whispered a few words to Su Wanling, who nodded and then logged off.
In less than half a minute, she logged back in.
Meanwhile, Lin Jichen received a bank notification on his phone.
"Your card ending in 7758 has received a deposit of 5,000,000 yuan. Balance: 5,000,000.35 yuan. [Industrial and Commercial Bank]"
Lin Jichen instantly understood that the five million was transferred by Su Wanling on behalf of the female mage.
Five million, given without blinking an eye. This woman must be truly wealthy.
"Thanks."
Lin Jichen didn't want to be overly polite. He simply thanked her, accepting the transfer.
If someone insists on giving, refusing would seem pretentious. Besides, Lin Jichen was still living in someone else's house.
With this money, he could buy his own place and live more comfortably.
"We should be the ones thanking you." The female mage smiled, her smile as radiant as spring flowers, exuding a captivating charm.
She extended her hand and said gracefully to Lin Jichen, "I'm Jiang Luoyu, the president of the Moon Shadow Guild."
"Lin Jichen, a lone player."
Lin Jichen shook her hand calmly. Suddenly, a thought flashed in his mind, and his eyes sparkled.
Jiang Luoyu... Why does this name sound so familiar...
Moon Shadow Guild...
Wait!
Lin Jichen remembered.
Moon Shadow Guild, Jiang Luoyu, no wonder it sounded familiar.
Lin Jichen couldn't recall the Moon Shadow Guild, but the name Jiang Luoyu was famous in his previous life.
She had three identities: First, ranked thirteenth on the Heavenly Rankings of Tale of Immortal, the second most powerful mage in the world, just below Lin Jichen.
Second, the president of the Moon Shadow Guild, the wealthiest guild in Tale of Immortal.
If the first two identities weren't impressive enough, the third one was absolutely shocking.
Jiang Luoyu was the only daughter of the world's richest man!
Her family possessed immense wealth, rivaling nations.
This was why the Moon Shadow Guild was the wealthiest guild in Tale of Immortal. Her family's wealth was beyond measure, richer than national banks.
But why couldn't Lin Jichen remember the Moon Shadow Guild? Because it only existed briefly in Tale of Immortal.
It seemed to have disbanded after just two years. The exact reason was unknown to Lin Jichen.
Rumor had it that Jiang Luoyu made a bet with her father to establish the largest and strongest guild in Tale of Immortal within two years. If she succeeded, her father would let her choose her own path in life.
Unfortunately, she lost the bet and had to return home to inherit the family business and manage the company.
Thus, the Moon Shadow Guild was forced to disband.
Whether this rumor was true or not was uncertain, just hearsay.
Now, looking at this stunning girl and thinking about her father being the world's richest man, Lin Jichen, who had been poor all his previous life, felt quite honored to meet the daughter of the richest man.
After all, he had been poor all his life. Even after the game and reality merged, causing real-world currency to devalue significantly, he never had a million in his pocket...
So knowing her background, Lin Jichen couldn't help but hold her hand for two more seconds, hoping to absorb some of her wealth, hehe.
But this behavior looked like he was taking advantage in the eyes of Su Wanling and Jiang Luoyu.
"Hey! You have some nerve, taking advantage of our president. Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're skilled."
Su Wanling said indignantly, not only to protect her boss but also because she was annoyed by Lin Jichen's different treatment.
She had met Lin Jichen several times, and each time he just brushed her off and left.
She thought he might not be interested in women.
But seeing him take advantage of her boss, she realized it was because she wasn't pretty enough?
Lin Jichen, embarrassed by Su Wanling's words, withdrew his hand with a sheepish smile, "I was thinking about something, it wasn't intentional."
"Yeah, right." Su Wanling retorted.
Jiang Luoyu didn't comment, her expression unchanged, but her beautiful eyes seemed to hold a hint of something different.
Lin Jichen laughed awkwardly, "Since there's nothing else, I'll take my leave. Sayonara~"
With that, Lin Jichen quickly slipped away, avoiding any more of Su Wanling's harsh words.
Seeing Lin Jichen flee, the two girls couldn't help but laugh.
"Your friend is quite nice." Jiang Luoyu commented.
"Nice? Luoyu, he just took advantage of you. This guy clearly likes you." Su Wanling complained.
"Alright, maybe you're overthinking. It was just a handshake. Besides, he kept his word and helped us a lot. We should be grateful."
"I'm not saying we shouldn't be grateful. But just because he helped doesn't mean he can take advantage. If your dad finds out, he'll be in trouble."
"Don't, don't tell my dad about this. Not a word. You're my bestie, don't act as my dad's spy."
"Don't worry, we've been besties for years. I wouldn't betray you."
"That's good. Let's go before the Blood Fiend Guild comes back. Distribute these items to the core members of the guild. Also, give a 50,000 yuan bonus to each member who participated in the battle today."
"Yes, my dear chairman~"
"I told you not to call me that in private, Wanling. You're asking for a beating."
"Ouch, I was wrong, hehe..."
