59: Section 59
As soon as he said this, Lei Hu looked smug.
"Lei Hu, our Lei Family values promises the most. Whatever we agree to, we will definitely do!"
"After that fight with you earlier, I'm convinced. From now on, I acknowledge you as my Lei Hu!"
"I've been counting on you finishing your mission and coming over these past few days, so I've been waiting here the whole time!"
"Finally, hard work pays off, I managed to wait for you..."
Lei Hu's choice of words made Lin Yi feel a bit awkward.
However, he didn't correct him, nodded, and said: "This is an heirloom of your family. I just borrowed it to take a look, and I'll return it to you later!"
"By the way, do you have a phone? Give me your number, and once I'm done reading it, I'll find you!"
"Yes, yes, yes, I'll call you..."
Lin Yi told him the number, and Lei Hu dialed it.
After the ringtone sounded once, it hung up.
Lin Yi looked at the man in front of him who was about ten years older than himself.
He frowned slightly and said: "We got to know each other through a fight, and now we're acquaintances. Don't call me 'Lei Hu' anymore. I'll call you Brother Hu, and from now on, stop doing this robbery stuff!"
"If you walk by the river often, how can you not get your shoes wet?"
"If you ever run into someone with higher cultivation, your lives will be in danger!"
Lin Yi kindly advised them a few words.
Through these two encounters with Lei Hu,
he discovered that Lei Hu wasn't bad by nature and was even a bit simple and honest.
He was even a man who kept his word; such a person was worth befriending.
Since he was a friend worth making, Lin Yi wanted to persuade them to turn over a new leaf.
Mainly because they were too weak; the strongest, Lei Hu, only had Tier 4 cultivation.
The other two were both at Tier 2.
In this complex and indistinguishable Old District, they didn't even have the ability to protect themselves.
If they continued to mess around like this, something would go wrong sooner or later.
Many of those who accepted Monster Hunting missions had cultivation of at least 1 Star.
Lin Yi had even seen a few people with 2 Star cultivation.
Lei Hu and the others didn't have Lin Yi's ability to see other people's talent traits.
If they encountered a tough opponent one day, how could they survive?
Lei Hu nodded: "Alright, Lei Hu, I'll listen to you. From now on, we won't do this trade anymore!"
"Brother Hu, if we don't do this, what will we eat?"
"Exactly, we don't have the skill for Monster Hunting; it's only the Yao Beasts that hunt us!"
Just when Lei Hu had just made his stance clear,
his two underlings immediately objected.
"Shut up, all of you! Three grown men, are you going to starve to death?
It's decided. From now on, we won't do these immoral things. Whoever objects, don't you dare follow me anymore!"
After Lei Hu scolded them a few times,
he turned back and said with a smile: "Lei Hu, don't worry, we definitely won't do this anymore!"
Lin Yi glanced at Lei Hu and nodded: "Alright, I'll head back first. Call me if anything comes up!"
"Okay..."
Watching Lin Yi leave,
Lei Hu took the other two people and headed towards the bus stop.
Not long after, a bus heading to the city center stopped.
They all got on the bus, just like everyone else.
Lin Yi didn't take the bus tonight; he had ridden his e-bike here, so naturally, he had to ride it back.
He rode like the wind, and on the empty road, he felt like he was about to take flight.
The harvest tonight was huge.
He completed the mission and received the mission reward.
Not only was the registration fee covered, but the rent money was also there.
Tomorrow there was another day of sparring, and he could earn another five hundred.
Just before he came to submit the mission, he had stopped by the black market.
He sold the corpse of the Cat Yao he had hunted earlier and earned eight thousand.
He also sold that Yao Beast core to Sister Hua and earned fifteen thousand.
Now, Lin Yi could be considered to have some wealth.
Although not much, it was enough for his short-term living expenses.
Lin Yi felt a little relieved, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
Just as he was riding his e-bike, humming the song "Ride My Beloved Little Motorcycle" on his way home,
suddenly, a series of roaring sounds came from behind him.
The singing stopped abruptly, and Lin Yi hurriedly looked back.
He saw more than a dozen headlights shining towards him from behind.
A dozen heavy motorcycles were racing towards him at high speed.
Lin Yi frowned slightly and pulled his e-bike to the side.
He deliberately slowed down, wanting to see if these guys were coming for him.
However...
A few minutes later, a familiar figure jumped into Lin Yi's line of sight.
He saw a burly man wearing a leather jacket and a pink helmet, riding a heavy motorcycle towards him.
Just as Lin Yi was looking at him, he was also looking at Lin Yi.
The moment they passed each other, the man even made a 'greeting' gesture to Lin Yi.
"Monster Hunting Team Captain, Chu Zhengxiong?"
Lin Yi remembered what the Senior Student had said earlier.
He was from the New District, the captain of the Fifth Team of the Monster Hunting Bureau.
But why was he hanging out with those Ghost-fire Youths? Or was it...
Just when Lin Yi was feeling a bit strange,
a dozen more heavy motorcycles drove up from behind, each with two Ghost-fire Youths on them.
They were all wearing denim, and their hair was all sorts of colors.
Some had cigarettes in their mouths, holding sticks in their hands.
Each and every one of them was chasing after Chu Zhengxiong with extreme excitement...
By the time Lin Yi got home,
it was already late at night.
Lin Dazhi and Liu Hongmei were all already asleep.
Lin Yi went to the bathroom, simply washed his face, and returned to his room.
He had earned quite a bit of money this evening alone.
Counting what he had earned before, Lin Yi was now quite wealthy.
He put all his money into his schoolbag.
When he went to school on Monday, he would go to register first.
After that, he would find a place to rent.
This way, he could escape this cold, loveless home.
This moment was something Lin Yi had been looking forward to for a long time.
Now, he was finally able to achieve his wishes one by one.
Following that, he took out his phone and opened the group for The Fifth Monster Hunting Team.
When he killed the Cat Yao earlier, he wanted to personally thank Snow Angel.
If it hadn't been for her help, Lin Yi really wouldn't have been able to find that Cat Yao tonight.
Who would have thought that a Cat Yao would cooperate with an orphanage?
And even ran to such a remote place to conduct a transaction...
As it turned out, Snow Angel was already gone.
Helpless, he could only say thank you to her in the group.
However, before speaking, he first changed his group nickname.
He named it Clown Mask.
