Chapter 25: First Meeting with Su Shiyue, One Shouldn't Be Too Greedy
Lin Yi had considered that the seventh floor might be very quiet.
I never expected it to be this quiet.
Upon entering the seventh floor, he didn't rush to find his target. Instead, he circled the entire floor, but couldn't see a single person.
"Am I the only one here?"
Lin Yi was quite surprised, but it was good that no one would bother him. At first, he was worried that it would be awkward with so many people around, but now it seemed that he had been worrying for nothing.
With that thought in mind, he slowly took out the nylon sack that was tucked into his waistband.
After a brief stroll around, Lin Yi gained a general understanding of the layout of the entire seventh floor. This floor is divided into two main areas: the spiritual plant storage area and the non-spiritual plant storage area.
Each storage area is further divided into several storage categories based on the type of pet: avian, land-dwelling, aquatic, reptile, and scaled creature categories...
Furthermore, each department area is further subdivided according to race and attribute. This subdivision helps Beast Tamers quickly find the pet skill papers they need, which shows that the department has considered this point quite thoroughly.
"Let's start by stocking up on non-spirit plant storage areas."
With a muttered remark, Lin Yi acted immediately, carrying a sack and leading the way into the non-spiritual plant storage area.
A man and a beast walked between two rows of bookshelves, casually picked up a few papers on pet skill instruction, and opened the title page. The striking large characters immediately stimulated Lin Yi's senses:
Beast pet [Thunder Phoenix], Fighting type, Thunder attribute, Intermediate Extraordinary, Clan skill: [Thunderous Wings]...
Beast pet [Silver Snow Ice Wolf], Fighting type, Ice attribute, Intermediate Extraordinary, Clan skill: [Ice Crack Claw]...
Beast Pet [Mystic Water Giant Turtle], Defense type, Water attribute, Medium Extraordinary, Clan Skill: [Turtle Defense]...
Pet [Dreamy Spirit Butterfly], Fighting type, Wind attribute, High-level Extraordinary...
……
Lin Yi became more and more engrossed in flipping through the pages; this was no library, but a mountain of gold!
"We're rich! We're rich! Mushroom boy, we're rich now!"
Lin Yi couldn't help but breathe rapidly, his heart pounding with excitement, his hands trembling. Without a word, he started installing!
Although there are countless papers on combat-type pets here, Lin Yi cannot indiscriminately search for them. He selects only the more popular combat-type pet skills. The more popular they are, the more people will sign contracts with them, and naturally, he can earn more money.
The man and the beast dragged the large sack between the rows of bookshelves, enjoying themselves immensely. Even the little mushroom was infected by their enthusiasm and pushed the sack behind Lin Yi with all its might.
Half an hour later.
Huff, huff, huff... The man and the beast slumped to the ground, leaning against the bookshelf, panting heavily.
"Little mushroom, why don't we put some back? We can't move them, we just can't move them at all."
Lin Yi looked at the nylon sacks filled to the brim in front of him. They were so heavy, like dragging a dead dog, and getting heavier and heavier.
Mushroom Boy: ฅ՞•ﻌ•՞ฅ I wholeheartedly agree!
Finally, the man and the beast slowly withdrew half of the bag before they could carry it on their shoulders.
Patting the nylon sack on his back, Lin Yi smiled expectantly: "Now we won't have to worry about money, Mushroom Boy, we're going to be rich!"
He won't have to be so strapped for cash anymore. Next time he goes to [Tiannan Minggui] to buy extraordinary evolution ingredients, he'll spend all he wants in one go, and he'll go back to that female receptionist to buy them.
Hearing Lin Yi say that he was going to get rich.
Mushroom Boy: ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و Oh yeah!
From now on, GuGu can finally have enough to eat, which is something to celebrate.
After entering the third stage of evolution, the mushroom's intelligence also increased a bit, and the little guy understood what it meant to be rich.
A human and a beast are envisioning the future.
Suddenly… a voice rang out from above them: “Can I come along?”
The sound startled Lin Yi and Gu Zai the moment it rang out.
"Holy crap..." Lin Yi instinctively jumped up and looked in the direction of the sound. He saw a girl sitting cross-legged on the bookshelf above him, her beautiful eyes, gleaming with greed, staring excitedly at him: "Hey classmate, how did you guys become so rich? Can you tell me?"
Upon seeing that it was a beast tamer, Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief, his heartbeat gradually calming down. He had thought he had seen a ghost in broad daylight.
Hmm... it also feels like being caught stealing.
Wait a minute... I came here openly and legitimately to buy goods, holding Liu Lao's command token, so why do I feel like a thief?
Feeling more confident, Lin Yi looked at the girl with some displeasure: "Hey, why did you climb so high? Don't you know you can scare someone to death?"
The girl jumped down at the sound: "The higher you stand, the farther you can see! Tell me quickly, how do I get rich? What kind of rich?"
The girl approached Lin Yi, her eyes filled with a thirst for knowledge. Lin Yi's first impression of her was that she was a little money-grubber—no, she was definitely a money-grubber.
"It's nothing, just saying." Lin Yi replied casually, but inwardly he thought to himself, "It seems I shouldn't reveal my true feelings so easily in the future, lest someone overhear me."
The girl rolled her eyes at the sound and scoffed, "Fine, don't tell me then."
After she finished speaking, she looked the man and the beast up and down, a hint of sympathy flickering in her beautiful eyes: "You two are really greedy, moving so much out at once. Aren't you afraid of attracting unnecessary attention?"
"I'm engaged in cross-species skills education research. Is there a problem with me reading more papers?" Lin Yi revealed his legitimate identity.
"research?"
The girl seemed to suddenly remember something, as if struck by a revelation: "Oh, why didn't I think of using this identity?"
She then scrutinized Lin Yi for a moment, pondered for a moment, and extended a hand: "Hello, my name is Su Shiyue."
Seeing this, Lin Yi also looked her up and down. The girl wasn't as beautiful to the bone as Tang Xinyi and the other girls, but she was definitely not ugly either. Her looks were above average, but she had a lively and quirky vibe.
"Lin Yi." The two shook hands briefly, but Lin Yi's eyes suddenly caught sight of the student ID in Su Shiyue's hand, and he paused slightly: "You're a combat-type Beast Tamer?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?" Su Shiyue grinned.
Lin Yi: "This is the thesis storage center for the Spirit Plant Department. How did you get in?"
Su Shiyue didn't take it seriously: "They just used the back door, what other way could they have gotten in?"
"Go through the back door?"
Lin Yi looked around: "Where's the back door? I don't see it."
He had barely finished speaking when he realized it was the seventh floor. He immediately understood what the other person meant by "back door"—a person with connections, another definite case of someone with connections.
The two exchanged a few words, and it seemed that they were both eager for the other to leave, so they quickly said goodbye.
However, just as Lin Yi walked out carrying the sack, Su Shiyue called out to him.
Su Shiyue: "Lin Yi."
Lin Yi turned around.
"The free-range mushrooms are so cute."
"Thanks."
Watching the man and beast disappear at the top of the stairs, Su Shiyue breathed a sigh of relief.
She immediately pursed her lips, then walked into the shadows to the side. A short while later, she dragged out a large burlap sack just like Lin Yi's from a secluded corner, and a thesis fell to the ground.
Looking at the overflowing thesis on combat-type pet skills, Su Shiyue muttered, "It seems like I've been putting on a show too much. One shouldn't be too greedy."
As she spoke, she put the half-bag of skill paper texts back in, then sighed. If it weren't for the recent tight security, she wouldn't have come to the Department of Spiritual Plants to find gold in the trash.
Meanwhile, under the watchful eyes of countless strange men, Lin Yi finally returned to his dormitory.
Back in his dorm, he suddenly remembered something.
"Su Shiyue? That girl from Tiannan Beast Taming University, she seems to also have the surname Su."
