What was the attitude of an expert?
That was, if you wanted to do something, you had to beg me. Begging me once wasn't enough. I had to make you willingly fork out the money. That would depend on whether the expert was willing to accept it or not. Even if he accepted it, he had to say that it was a show of respect.
This was the attitude of an expert.
If Lin Jin wanted to earn big bucks in a short period of time, he had to resort to this method.
So he patted the leopard's head, sighed, turned around, and left without saying a word.
This move was very mysterious.
It's also very risky.
If the other party didn't mind, Lin Jin's actions would make him look like an idiot. In the other party's eyes, Lin Jin would be the epitome of mental illness. However, from another perspective, if the other party thought that this was an opportunity, and he was an otherworldly expert, then things would be different. As long as the other party jumped into this trap, then the initiative would be in his hands.
Since Lin Jin was a bachelor now, if he couldn't fool this guy, he could just switch to another one later. There was no loss. At most, he would be scolded for being an idiot.
'Go ahead and scold me. I won't lose a pound of meat anyway.'
Just as Lin Jin took his tenth step, Qian Youde couldn't resist calling out, "That … please wait!"
Lin Jin smiled. Experts had always acted independently. Moreover, it wasn't the behavior of an expert to stop just because someone told him to. Hence, not only did Lin Jin not stop, he walked even faster.
Seeing this, Qian Youde hurriedly led his men in pursuit, afraid of missing out on this' opportunity '. More importantly, the other party's ability to easily tame his pet beast was the main reason why Qian Youde gave chase.
After a series of twists and turns, Lin Jin walked quickly. Behind him, Qian Youde and the others weren't slow either.
"Almost there!" Lin Jin knew he had to stop fooling around. No matter what, it was important to know when to stop. Otherwise, a good thing would turn into a bad thing. If he really wore out the other party's patience, it would be all over.
Through the many classic sales books he had read in the modern world, Lin Jin was now able to utilize this technique of manipulating people's hearts to its fullest.
Lin Jin suddenly stopped. Without turning around, he asked, "Is something the matter?"
The alley, the proud and aloof figure, the unrestrained clothes, the clothes fluttering in the breeze, and that low and confident voice.
These words slowly formed in Qian Youde's mind.
A hermit expert.
Although he was exhausted, Qian Youde was not angry at all. Instead, his eyes lit up. The two attendants following him were baffled. They couldn't understand why their master insisted on following that crazy beggar in front of them.
"Lord Qian, that person is dressed like a beggar. I'm afraid there's something wrong with his head …" One of his subordinates had just asked when Qian Youde stopped him. "What do you know? Aren't all the otherworldly experts I read so different from the others?"
"But …"
"But what? Didn't you see him tame Jin Man just now? Don't you know Jin Man's temper? Usually, no one can touch it except for me. Just by this, I can tell that this mister is extraordinary. You two uneducated people should not interrupt. "Qian Youde waved his hand with a look of disgust on his face.
The two subordinates cursed in their hearts. You speak as if you've been educated.
Qian Youde's daily hobbies were shopping with Jin Man, earning money, and reading novels. Although he said he was reading, he was actually listening to others read to him.
Because he couldn't read.
However, this didn't stop Qian Youde's rich imagination. By now, he was convinced that he had met a hermit expert.
So, he tidied his clothes and imitated the storyteller's tone when he met an expert, saying, "Sir, Qian Youde is a polite man."
Lin Jin mused, 'What a cultured person.'
Moreover, he had prepared a lot of speeches and drama. Why did it feel like this fatty had been tricked?
This was too easy.
Although he was surprised, he had to continue acting.
"You came after me because of that leopard, didn't you?" Lin Jin asked in a hushed tone, his hoarse voice sounding enigmatic.
"Yes. My pet beast has been … having a small problem lately. Sir, you've noticed it so why don't you go all the way and give me a cure?" Although Qian Youde had imagined Lin Jin to be a hermit expert, he wasn't a fool. He still had to test Lin Jin. Hence, he didn't mention the specific symptoms as he wanted to see how capable Lin Jin was.
Lin Jin lowered his voice and laughed. "Small problem? This leopard ate random things and accidentally ate a fire snake's gallbladder. That's fire poison. Your leopard's attribute is metal so the fire poison was too weak to be digested. That's why you fell sick and almost lost your life. Am I right? "
Qian Youde's hands trembled as he mused, 'This is amazing.'
Lin Jin only had to touch his pet beast and he was able to grasp all the symptoms of his illness. It was truly amazing. With that, the image of an expert in Qian Youde's mind solidified.
Especially since the man's words were almost identical to Chief Wang's from the Beast Appraisal Association.
Lin Jin continued, "Even so, it's not a big deal. After all, it can be cured as long as there's a cure. But the healer just had to prescribe random things. Although he managed to cure most of the ailments by accident, the shedding only got worse. It seems like he'll become a bald leopard in two days."
One of the subordinates whispered, "Chief Wang was the one who diagnosed Jin Man's illness. How dare he say that Chief Wang is prescribing random things?"
Another subordinate shook his head. "The problem is, Chief Wang really can't cure Jin Man's shedding problem."
When Qian Youde heard this, he became even more determined.
"Sir, you have an excellent eye. Do you have a cure?"
If Qian Youde had to bring a bald leopard on a stroll, he would rather stay at home forever. Hence, he was desperate.
However, Lin Jin remained silent. He was waiting to see if the man would follow through with this.
Qian Youde remained silent as well.
A gust of wind blew past. Only then did Qian Youde react. After all, he was a businessman with a flexible mind.
"Sir, as long as you can cure Jin Man's shedding problem, I will reward you handsomely!" Qian Youde promised. Lin Jin sneered inwardly. Everyone knew how to boast. He had seen cases of treating illnesses without paying, and he had just met one.
Lin Jin decided to add something extra. "Shedding is a small matter but curing it will take a lot of effort. Moreover, I've been treating many beasts in the past and I'm a little tired so I've decided to retire and travel the world. It's not a good idea to break my vows so you should find someone else."
Having said that, he pretended to leave.
Qian Youde panicked.
Although the man was being pretentious, what if he could cure it? Moreover, Lin Jin didn't lack money.
Qian Youde immediately took out a stack of banknotes and hurried over, stuffing them into a tattered pocket on Lin Jin's back.
"Sir, this is just a small token of my appreciation. It's fate that we met so I'll have to trouble you to make an exception and help me."
Lin Jin glanced at him from the corner of his eyes, shocked.
Qian Youde was truly generous. That stack of banknotes was worth at least several hundred taels. With this, Lin Jin's life had turned into a motorcycle. At least, he could earn money for pelletization.
Suppressing his restless heart, Lin Jin said in a low voice, "It's fate that we met. Since it's fate, I'll make an exception and help you."
Turning around, Lin Jin saw two of Qian Youde's subordinates following him. They seemed to be standing on his left and right, like they were surrounding him.
Lin Jin smiled.
Qian Youde wasn't a pushover either. He must be thinking that if he ran into a scammer and couldn't cure him, he would just beat him up and snatch the banknotes back.
Needless to say, that was exactly what Qian Youde was thinking.
He was a businessman. Although he had a wild imagination and thought that he had just met a hermit expert, he wasn't stupid. He knew to hold back no matter what he did.
Lin Jin pretended not to notice. Walking over, he placed his hand on the leopard's head. Qian Youde was confused. His subordinate couldn't help but whisper, "You don't need a prescription for this? You should at least use a talisman or something … "
Qian Youde immediately shouted at the subordinate to shut up.
Suddenly, Lin Jin used his finger like a sword, gathered his spirit energy, and struck several major acupuncture points on the leopard's body. His technique was clean and precise. Speaking of which, this was one of the few 'legacies' his predecessor had left him. It was called 'Spirit Cave Hand', a martial arts technique that was mostly used on pet beasts. In times of emergency, it could also be used to defend against enemies.
Lin Jin had inherited the 'Spirit Cave Hand' technique from his predecessor. Now that he was using his own spirit energy, his fingers gathered spirit energy and in the blink of an eye, several bloody wounds appeared on the leopard's body.
Qian Youde panicked. 'Is he trying to cure or kill?
