The next morning, after washing up, Lin Huang headed to the restaurant on the second floor of the hotel for a buffet breakfast.
Just when he was about to take his plate, he realized that many people were staring at him.
At first, Lin Huang did not pay much attention to them. However, after he took his food and sat down, he realized that almost everyone in the restaurant was secretly looking at him. Some of them were even pointing at him.
"What's going on?" Lin Huang looked down at his body and realized that he looked fine. He then turned on the selfie function on his Emperor's Heart Ring. He was even more confused when he realized that there was nothing dirty on his face. "Why are all these people staring at me?"
After breakfast, Lin Huang walked out of the restaurant in confusion. He could not help but ask when he saw the waitress peeking at him, "Why are you guys staring at me? Is there something wrong with me? "
"Sir, haven't you seen the local news?" The waitress asked back.
"Local news?"
"Sir, the news about your date with the little princess last night has spread. It's the biggest news in Sweep City this year." The waitress smiled.
"The people in Sweep City are so bored …" Lin Huang thought to himself when he heard the waitress's answer.
He returned to the hotel room and opened the news page. The comments below the news last night were all over the place.
"The little princess is mine. Go away, go away, go away, go away!"
"Just by looking at his face, I know he's a scumbag who only knows how to cheat little girls!"
"I'll pay 5 credit points to find the stranger who went on a date with the little princess. Give me the address and I'll kill him!"
"I support the commenter above. Credit points + 1. Remember to stream when you're killing him!"
"I support you too. Credit points + 2. If you stream, I promise to give you a chicken drumstick!"
"Credit points + 3. Remember to kill a few more pieces and marinate them … Oh my, I'm drooling."
"Credit points + 4. There's a Cannibal Monster upstairs! I want to report it! "
…
There were close to 100,000 comments, and that was just the comments under the news.
Lin Huang opened his new Weibo account and saw that the local news was all about the same topic. There were already tens of thousands of discussions in one night, and the number was still increasing. Almost every second, there would be one or two new messages. It seemed to be getting more and more intense.
Lin Huang was speechless. "I've been tricked to death by this girl!"
He thought that he would keep a low profile for a period of time when he arrived in Division 3 and improve his abilities. At the very least, it would not be too late to show off when he had reached immortal-level and had the ability to protect himself. However, he didn't expect that he would become a household name in Ba Huang City on the second day he arrived in Division 3. If this news was trending on Weibo, not only Ba Huang City, but all the other footholds in Division3 would also see his face.
Fortunately, the photo taken by the Emperor's Heart Ring was his disguise. Even a demigod-level powerhouse would not be able to see his real face through a photo.
After calming down, Lin Huang read other news and some public information about the black market. At around 9 am, Lin Huang received a message from the woman in the black market.
Before he could open the file, the woman sent a video request.
Lin Huang frowned slightly, but still accepted the video call.
"Good morning, sir!"
"Is there anything I can help you with?" Lin Huang asked.
"I just want to briefly introduce the contents of the documents that I've sent you." The woman's voice was soothing. "Of course, there's something else."
"Go ahead."
"Sir, do you know that many people have contacted us since the news was released last night? They want to know more about you." The woman smiled.
"What happened after that?"
"We've checked your information, but unfortunately, we didn't find anything useful." The woman looked at Lin Huang. "That's why we didn't sell them for a good price."
"Are you trying to get a commission from me by telling me all this?" Lin Huang looked calm. Of course, no one would be able to find out anything about Lin Xie's identity.
"Sir, you're funny." The woman smiled.
"Stop beating around the bush. Let's get down to business." He knew very well that the woman did not call to chat with him.
"Alright, I won't beat around the bush." The woman became serious. "Sir, since you've asked for so much information about monsters, I'm sure you need to kill a lot of monsters. After you're done, can you sell the carcasses of these monsters to us first? We'll buy them at the market price. In our other line of business, the supply of beast carcasses is relatively scarce. "
"Why me?" Lin Huang asked.
"Because we're in a hurry to deliver the goods. For this delivery, we've contacted many customers who are interested in hunting. You're just one of them. You've proven your amazing hunting efficiency at the entrance of the black market yesterday. You're the partner we need. "
"It doesn't matter who I sell to. What's in it for me if I agree?" Lin Huang raised a more realistic question.
"As long as you agree, you'll be our partner. We'll do our best to protect your personal information from being leaked." The woman glanced at Lin Huang and continued, "Especially to prevent people from digging into your identity and finding out your real identity."
Lin Huang's heart skipped a beat. This woman had surprisingly seen through his fake identity.
"Then tell me, what's my real identity?" On the surface, Lin Huang was still calm.
"We didn't dig deep, so we don't know." The woman was very frank. "But we can't rule out the possibility that in the future, someone will be willing to spend a lot of money to find out the answer. Trust me, no matter how deep you hide, as long as someone is willing to pay the price, there will definitely be someone who can dig out your real identity. And we can keep your secret for you. We can even create fake information for you if necessary. "
"I'm just an ordinary person. There's nothing to dig out about my identity." Lin Huang smiled and shook his head. "I don't know how you made the wrong judgment that my identity is fake. If there's no substantial benefit, I'm not interested in going back and forth to Ba Huang City to sell the carcasses to you. I can sell them at the same price in the hunting area. It's much more convenient. If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up. "
"Wait!" The woman was a little surprised by Lin Huang's reaction, but she quickly made up for it. "In the future, if you want to get information or purchase items, we can give you a 20% discount!"
"Can't it be cheaper?" Lin Huang raised his eyebrows.
"20% is the highest discount I can get for you." The woman shook her head and smiled. "I've already given in. Don't make it difficult for me."
"Alright then, it's a deal!" Lin Huang agreed to it right away.
After hanging up, Lin Huang finally let out a sigh of relief. He was almost tricked by the woman into revealing his fake identity. Luckily, he was smart enough to not admit it.
On the other side of the video call, the woman frowned and clicked on Lin Huang's identity information again.
"So, did you agree?" A man with glasses stood at the door and asked.
"Yes, I agreed. I gave him a 20% discount." The woman smiled helplessly.
"Didn't you say that you could use his fake identity as a bargaining chip to negotiate? What, did you make a mistake? "The man with glasses was a little surprised.
"He didn't admit it." The woman shook her head. "We've carefully checked his identity, but we didn't find anything wrong. It's just that my intuition told me that it was a fake identity, so I tried to trick him, but I failed. Maybe my intuition was wrong. It's not the first time anyway … "
