114: Who gave you the courage to be so arrogant in front of me?

Autumn Leaf messaged: "Batutianxia, let's go! Let's meet at the Mission Temple entrance."

As soon as Autumn Leaf sent the message, she saw a "giant" over two and a half meters tall walk to the entrance.

This guy was clad in heavy armor, and his exposed body was covered in bulging muscles; he looked nothing like a Mage.

Lin Ling directly cast Heros Eye.

When Lin Ling saw this person's name, his mouth twitched involuntarily.

Ben Boha?

Why not call yourself Little Whirlwind?

Thunder Mage Chess Player was a profession he had never heard of before.

However, when he saw the stats, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

These stats were not weak, but why hadn't someone with such talent been recruited by Dragon Nest?

But these stats were only considered strong for ordinary people.

In front of Lin Ling, he was completely an inferior.

In terms of strength, Lin Ling was more than a thousand points higher than him; although Lin Ling was slightly weaker in magic damage, he had four Forbidden Spells.

Lin Ling was a monster, and while Ben Boha was outstanding, he was still just an ordinary person.

And when Ben Boha felt Lin Ling's gaze, a strong look of disdain appeared in his eyes.

“Hmph, so it’s just a little pretty boy.”

Lin Ling's eyes instantly narrowed slightly. He had originally been somewhat interested in this fellow, but now that interest vanished instantly.

“Watch your mouth,” Lin Ling said in a deep voice.

“Oh, you've got some temper, but in front of your Batian, if you’re a dragon, you coil; if you’re a tiger, you crouch! Your Batian won’t indulge you!”

Batutianxia said, extending a middle finger, his condescending gaze completely undisguised.

Lin Ling's expression darkened, and he immediately felt the urge to act.

However, just then, Autumn Leaf suddenly stepped in front of him.

Lin Ling felt the magnificent bosom just a fist's distance from his body and couldn't help but take a step back.

“Alright, you two, we’re teammates now. Wouldn’t it be better to put our combined strength into clearing the dungeon?” Autumn Leaf said with a smile.

“Hmph! He can come, but I won’t share a single dragon coin of the 200 million dragon coins reward with him,” Ben Boha said.

Autumn Leaf looked at Lin Ling with some difficulty.

“Let’s go. I only want the Ice Silkworm Silk. As for whether he can get 200 million, that depends on his own ability,” Lin Ling said.

Autumn Leaf immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

A hint of disdain flashed in Ben Boha's eyes. “I want cash. You go prepare it now. Once it’s ready, we’ll depart.”

“Cash?”

Autumn Leaf frowned slightly. 200 million in cash to carry around?

However, she had a request, so she agreed.

Half an hour later, everything was prepared, and the three walked to an open area.

A central cube immediately appeared in Autumn Leaf's hand.

An S-rank fighter jet instantly appeared above the street.

As soon as the fighter jet appeared, it immediately drew a chorus of exclamations.

Although S-rank fighter jets were the cheapest type among fighter jets, that was only relatively speaking.

After all, there were only dozens of civilian fighter jets in the entire country.

Seeing one was like seeing a Lamborghini on the road now.

No matter how common, it was not a vehicle that ordinary people could own.

Seeing the fighter jet, a hint of fanaticism also flashed in Ben Boha's eyes.

“You actually have a fighter jet? This is my first time riding one.”

The fighter jet slowly landed.

Ben Boha said, reaching out to gently touch the fuselage of the fighter jet.

“Batian, it seems you really like fighter jets, don’t you?” Autumn Leaf asked.

“Of course, what man doesn’t like fighter jets?”

As soon as Ben Boha finished speaking, he noticed that Lin Ling's eyes held only indifference, as if this cool fighter jet couldn't attract him at all.

“Sissy!”

Ben Boha immediately let out a cold snort and lifted his leg to enter the fighter jet.

“Batian, can you please stop picking fights? What you like, others might not necessarily like, and why would a nearly Five Turns expert like you bother with a newcomer?”

Autumn Leaf suddenly shouted, though as soon as the words left her mouth, she herself regretted them.

She wasn't familiar with Lin Ling, and she was counting on Batutianxia to help her clear the dungeon.

But seeing Batutianxia bully Lin Ling, she suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

Just as she was worried that Batutianxia might abandon them.

To her surprise, the guy nodded repeatedly and said with a flattering smile, “Alright, Boss, it won’t happen again. I was just joking with this little brother.”

And the cold glint that had gradually condensed in Lin Ling's eyes also quietly dissipated.

The three boarded the plane one after another, and the plane immediately sped off towards the south.

Autumn Leaf sat in the cabin, and seeing that her two teammates were getting along, she took out a design manuscript.

This was the guangyin pendant she had meticulously researched for over a year.

To avoid any mishaps, whenever she had free time, Autumn Leaf would take out this manuscript and re-examine it.

Soon, looking at her manuscript, a proud smile appeared on her face.

“Autumn Leaf, oh Autumn Leaf, you are truly a genius. Once this pendant is made, it will definitely cause quite a stir in Dragon Country and even the world.”

Autumn Leaf thought to herself, suddenly feeling a particularly strong desire to be praised.

She pulled out a page from the manuscript and looked at Batutianxia. “Batian, do you understand Forging?”

She had only asked casually, but to her surprise, Ben Boha snatched the manuscript.

“A cooldown-type accessory, did you design this? It's very good. Although it's only one page of a manuscript, I can already guess that this item of yours can not only reduce cooldowns but also have an active skill,” Ben Boha said.

Autumn Leaf's eyes immediately lit up upon hearing this. “Batian, are you also a Forging Master?”

A hint of pride appeared on Ben Boha's face. “Not really. I just studied with President Tang for a while, but later I focused on combat professions and gave it up.”

“President Tang? President Tang, the Seven Turns Forging Grandmaster from Jinling? He's the Grandmaster most skilled in Enchantment Stone Purification in Dragon Country! Then, to what grade can you purify enchantment stones?”

At this moment, Autumn Leaf looked at Ben Boha with a face full of hope.

“Hahaha, I’m only half-baked, barely able to purify to a 25% loss rate, Grade Two.”

Ben Boha said “half-baked” with a sad tone, but his face was full of pride.

Purification techniques among Forging Masters had always been closely guarded secrets.

Autumn Leaf didn't ask further. If the other party didn't have a master, she might have asked for guidance.

But since the other party was a disciple of President Tang, asking another question would be breaking the rules.

The Forging Master Guild in Kyoto could purify up to 31%, clearly showing that the Forging Masters in Jinling were much stronger than those in Kyoto.

“Keep up the good work. Your mastery of Forging is already quite impressive. This manuscript is the most exquisite design I’ve ever seen,” Ben Boha praised without reservation.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he changed the subject and said again, “If you could have highly purified enchantment stones, it would definitely be a perfect work of art. I can’t forge, I can only purify enchantment stones. If you’re still single, why don’t we have a deeper exchange?”

As he spoke, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze couldn't help but fall on Autumn Leaf's curvaceous figure.

However, just then, a voice that had been completely unnoticeable suddenly rang out.

“The design direction is correct, but it’s flashy and impractical. Even the best enchantment stones won’t help!”

Lin Ling, sitting in the corner, glanced at the blueprint in Autumn Leaf's hand and said nonchalantly.

However, as soon as he spoke, Ben Boha erupted in anger.

He had originally felt some wicked thoughts when he saw Autumn Leaf's beauty.

Perhaps with a bit of sweet talk, he could gain both wealth and beauty.

But Lin Ling's words had disrupted his scheme.

“Bullshit, you little brat, what do you know? Say another word, and your grandpa here will tear your mouth off.”

Ben Boha roared and charged directly at Lin Ling, his posture clearly indicating that he intended to teach the brat who ruined his plans a lesson.

The space inside the fighter jet was already small, and this time Autumn Leaf was too late to stop him, only letting out a gasp.

“Be careful!”

In her opinion, if Ben Boha got close to him, Lin Ling would definitely get a good beating.

And judging by Ben Boha's stance, he wouldn't hold back at all.

However, just as Ben Boha's hand was about to strike Lin Ling's head.

The young man in front of him suddenly vanished, and the next second, Ben Boha's expression abruptly changed.

A powerful hand suddenly grabbed the back of his neck.

He immediately tried to break free, but that hand was as if forged from steel, far stronger than his own strength.

The next second, a surge of primal force poured into the back of his neck, the wind whistled in his ears, and a knee rapidly enlarged in his vision.

Bang...

Ben Boha only felt a ringing in his ears, and his head felt as if it was about to explode.

Before he could recover, that large hand pulled his head back slightly.

Ben Boha endured the intense pain in his face and forced his eyes open, only to see the floor rapidly approaching the next second.

Lin Ling pressed Ben Boha's head and slammed it heavily onto the cabin floor.

Boom...

A large dent appeared on the floor.

The entire plane trembled slightly, and alarm bells and Lin Ling's chilling voice rang out simultaneously.

“Who gave you the courage to act so arrogant in front of me?”

A little P.S. to chat: How to put it, actually, I'm quite annoyed by authors writing books and asking readers for gifts. As the saying goes, do not do to others what you would not have them do to you. But only after truly becoming a full-time writer do I understand that sometimes it's truly due to the pressure of reality, forcing many people to live as the person they hate most.

The recommendation volume on the bookstore dropped from 10,000 people a day to 1,000+, and my income plummeted to dozens of yuan a day, yet I write 7,000 words a day, which takes nearly 9 hours.

I want to persevere, to write this book well and finish it, but... never mind, I'll just keep going. If I have to be both a saint and a sinner, then so be it.

I don't ask for paid gifts; generating power out of love is fine. My darlings, if you can, please help me for a few tens of seconds. I get 0.1 yuan every time you watch an ad, and I can see every single 0.1 yuan.

At the same time, thank you for your support. The plot will become more and more exciting: Dragon Nest rematch, sweeping national wild areas, cross-country monster stealing, igniting Mount Fuji, spacetime travel, Devil Island, other racial Professionals, destroying East Island, pacifying New York, Underground City Plane God's Dungeon, etc. Lin Ling's opponents will become stronger and stronger, and he will become even more heaven-defying. I look forward to you all continuing to read.

I've rambled for 300 words, and this chapter is already over 3200 words, so I won't say more. Thank you all.
