Lin Jin had already given Ye Yuzhou the evolution method for his pet beast so he put that aside for now. Huangfu Ming's pet beast was a Rank 3. With Lin Jin's current level, appraising it was a piece of cake.
The same went for the others.
The mansion Shi Wenjun mentioned wasn't too far away and it was located in a good location.
Entering, the alley was quiet and the bricks were of excellent quality. The wooden double doors had a small stone beast in front of it. The craftsmanship was exquisite. Pushing the door open, the interior of the yard was paved with bricks as well. There was a green tiger on the wall and a beast pen was right in front. It was also clean and tidy.
At first glance, Lin Jin fell in love with this mansion.
Setting aside its tranquility, it was also much cleaner than his previous one. After all, his previous yard was made of muddy soil. When it rained, it would inevitably get muddy.
Walking further in, passing through a doorway, they arrived at the backyard. There were houses on both sides and in front of them was a large hall. The houses were furnished with ready-made furniture and beds.
"This mansion isn't bad," Ye Yuzhou praised. Ye Yuzhou praised. On the way here, he already knew that Shi Wenjun had prepared this place for Lin Jin. And he wasn't lying. He really liked this place.
The others nodded in agreement.
Especially Luo Beihe. Her eyes lit up at the sight of the mansion. She probably liked it just as much.
"Lord Shi, how much does this mansion cost?" Luo Beihe suddenly asked, probably trying to find out more about the market price.
Shi Wenjun smiled and stole a glance at Lin Jin before saying, "I'll sell this mansion to Chief Lin for three thousand taels."
"Three thousand …"
Luo Beihe's eyes widened. Just as she was about to say something, Mr. Yi quickly pulled her back.
Still unhappy, she turned her head and glared at Mr. Yi angrily. The latter quickly whispered a few words to Luo Beihe. Realization dawned on her face and she muttered, "Why do all the good things happen to others?"
The others understood and merely chuckled to themselves. Lin Jin noticed it too but he didn't say anything.
Shi Wenjun was clearly selling him at an extremely low price. Part of it was to maintain good relations with him, but the other part was to repay his debt of gratitude.
Lin Jin knew this very well.
Initially, he didn't want to accept this, but after coming in, he liked this place very much. The ancient trees in the courtyard were also quite artistic. He liked everything here.
Since that was the case, there was no need to refuse.
If he really felt bad about it, he could just help the Shi family evolve a few more pet beasts or give them a few more prescriptions.
With that in mind, Lin Jin gladly accepted it.
This is the place.
And Lin Jin planned to move in today.
He didn't want to delay any longer. It would naturally be good if he could move in earlier. Moreover, Shang 'er, Little Five, and the others had indeed been quite aggrieved during this period of time. The place they lived in was narrow and he believed that they would also like it here.
Following that, Lin Jin explored the entire manor with great interest. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it.
Meanwhile, Luo Beihe whispered to Huangfu Ming beside her, "Mr. Huangfu, do you think Lin Jin really accepted this mansion? The furniture alone is worth more than three thousand taels. How could he be so shameless as to accept it?"
Huangfu Ming was a righteous man. Although he acknowledged Lin Jin, he understood the principle of not accepting a reward without doing something. He could tell that this manor couldn't be bought for less than twenty thousand silvers. Lin Jin buying it for three thousand silvers was a blatant scam to the Shi family. Ye Yuzhou had explained that it was thanks to Lin Jin's help that the Shi family managed to overcome their previous crisis. This was the Shi family's way of thanking Lin Jin.
But no matter what, taking advantage of others wasn't what a gentleman would do.
"Lin Jin is getting ahead of himself." Huangfu Ming shook his head helplessly while Luo Beihe looked like she agreed with him.
Mr. Yi didn't know what to say so he merely smiled helplessly. Ye Yuzhou, on the other hand, frowned. "Mr. Huangfu, Mr. Beihe, I know Lin Jin very well. Since he has bought this manor, he will surely give the Shi family more benefits. Also, I've told you before that Lin Jin is no ordinary man. Whether your pet beasts can evolve in the future will depend on him."
Ye Yuzhou had said something similar before but never as bluntly as he did now. He wanted to let his friends know that they absolutely couldn't afford to offend Lin Jin.
Because the consequence of offending Lin Jin was offending 'Curator'.
Even His Majesty the Emperor of Jade Dragon Kingdom didn't dare to offend 'Curator'. Were they stronger than His Majesty?
At Ye Yuzhou's words, Huangfu Ming and Luo Beihe didn't say anything else.
On the other side, Lin Jin had taken a look around the mansion and was very pleased with it. He was also sure that this mansion was extremely valuable.
He glanced at Shi Wenjun who smiled. "Chief Lin, don't overthink it. I'm really just trying to repay your kindness."
"Alright, that's enough. I like this manor very much, but I can't just accept something so valuable from you for free." Lin Jin turned to Shi Wenjun's white deer.
Shi Wenjun's white deer's name was Bai'er. Lin Jin already knew this. He also knew that the white deer was only Rank 2 and had an average bloodline. It wasn't a rare beast that stood out from the rest of the pack.
In the past, when Lin Jin's skills weren't that impressive, it honestly wasn't difficult for him to evolve this white deer. But now, it was a piece of cake.
Lin Jin caressed the white deer's head and said, "Your bloodline is average and your potential is average. Even if your master gave you a miracle pill, you could achieve Rank 3 within three years, but that would be the end of your journey. You're in luck. Today, I'll help you achieve Rank 3 and allow you to achieve Rank 4 within a month. Consider this my way of repaying your master for giving you this house." Lin Jin nodded.
Lin Jin didn't hide his words. If Shi Wenjun could hear him, so could Ye Yuzhou, Huangfu Ming, and Luo Beihe.
Everyone had their own thoughts.
Ye Yuzhou obviously didn't doubt the veracity of Lin Jin's words. If anyone else said this, they would most likely be bluffing. But since Lin Jin said it, it couldn't be.
The Shi family would probably have a Rank 4 pet beast within a month.
This wasn't something money could measure. A Rank 4 pet beast was equivalent to a guardian beast of an intermediate country. Forget tens of thousands, even a million would be more than enough.
Shi Wenjun's eyes widened instantly.
She had expected Lin Yao to help her pet beast evolve, but she didn't expect it to evolve to Rank 4. This was akin to someone asking for money. They expected to receive ten taels at most, but never did they expect the other party to give them a hundred thousand taels straight away.
Sudden riches.
That was how she felt.
Now, even with Shi Wenjun's mental fortitude, she couldn't help feeling anxious. She knew what a Rank 4 pet beast meant.
