Cultivation Pet Shop

It was the president who had been hiding in the shadows last night.

When Angela saw that it was another beautiful woman who had requested Lin Fan, she couldn\'t help giving another snort as a chill ran down Lin Fan\'s back.

Lin Fan couldn\'t help feeling wronged, but there was no one he could complain to.

So Lin Fan said with an awkward smile, "This miss, I\'m not sure we\'ve met before. Can you please tell me why you requested me?"

The president looked over Lin Fan for a bit before pointing at the chairs across the table in front of her and saying, "Sit, we\'ll talk after you sit down."

Since she had said this and nothing else, Lin Fan\'s group couldn\'t just leave. After sitting down, there was still an awkward silence that filled the air.

Lin Fan finally couldn\'t take it as he said, "Can you tell me why you requested me now? I\'m certain that we haven\'t met before."

After all, this woman was quite the beauty. Lin Fan would have been certain that he would remember her if they had met before.

The woman still didn\'t say a word as she sat there looking at Lin Fan for a bit. It was after a prolonged pause that was quite awkward that she finally spoke, "I have a special mission for you that I know you\'re the right person for. It\'s a S rank mission."

Lin Fan was still confused, but when he heard the words S rank, he couldn\'t help being surprised.

S ranks were at the top of the rankings for the Seekers Guild and Lin Fan was only a B rank seeker. Not to mention that he had only gotten that rank yesterday.

But the fact that this person was able to issue a S rank mission was something that piqued his interest. After all, there was no way that this was a lie since the receptionist was the one who brought him here and there were plenty of ways for him to check what kind of mission it was, even if he rejected it.

Still, Lin Fan asked, "I\'m honoured, but why me?"

The woman revealed a smile and said, "I\'ve been watching you and I think you have what I\'m looking for. If you pass this test of mine, I can help you with many other things. Isn\'t that a good enough reason?"

Lin Fan slightly knitted his brows when he heard this. After a bit of thought, he asked, "Who are you though?"

The woman had the same smile as she said, "Pass this test first and you\'ll find out."

Lin Fan didn\'t say a single word in response to this.

Seeing that Lin Fan wasn\'t saying a thing, the woman added, "If you do well, there might even be extra rewards waiting for you."

Lin Fan knitted his brows even more as he asked, "What kind of rewards?"

The woman had a teasing smile on her face as she said, "How about me?"

The woman was about to keep teasing, but then she felt a chill run down her spine.

Her cultivation definitely wasn\'t low and yet she could even feel a chill, this definitely wasn\'t normal.

The woman couldn\'t help looking around, but seeing that there was nothing around her, she couldn\'t help being confused.

Where did that feeling come from?

Lin Fan revealed a bitter smile as he said, "If that\'s all, then I\'m afraid I have to decline."

This seemed like it was too good to be true, rather it almost seemed like a trap. While Lin Fan wanted to increase his ranking so he could qualify for the Hunter Exam, he didn\'t want to draw attention yet either since it wasn\'t the right time for him just yet.

As Lin Fan was about to stand up and leave, the woman suddenly said, "Stop."

Lin Fan froze in his actions and turned to look at the woman who now had a serious expression on her face.

The woman said, "You can consider this as a test from the Hunters Organization. You want to join them, but the way you\'re acting is too suspicious. If you can prove your strength, they can overlook this. Otherwise, you should give up on qualifying for the Hunter Exam."

Lin Fan knitted his brows once again when he heard this.

He knew that his selling of the beast corpses was too conspicuous.

After hearing the explanation of the person at the counter, the fact that he still sold it showed that he was in a rush for something.

While the Hunters Organization was one that advocated freedom, it was also an organization in the end. If they were to allow dangerous elements to join them, they definitely wouldn\'t have been able to last long enough to be one of the twelve great factions.

But of course, in this upper realm, what was most important was strength.

If he had enough strength, it would prove that he was qualified to join them even though he might be working for other forces. That was how several Hunters who were clearly affiliated to other forces were still able to join.

The benefits outweighed the losses in those cases because strength was a very good deterrent. At least it was in this competition filled upper realm.

After Lin Fan had thought this through, he sat back down and tapped his finger on the table in front of him for a few seconds before he asked, "What is the mission?"

The woman suddenly revealed a smile once again as she said, "Oh, so you\'re interested in the mission now?"

Lin Fan just had a calm look on his face as he sat there without saying a word.

The woman wanted to tease him again because of this, but remembering the chill that she had felt earlier, she decided against it.

So instead, the woman said, "There\'s something that we need you to get, something that normal people can\'t get."

Lin Fan slightly knitted his brows when he heard this and he asked, "What is it?"

The woman said, "It\'s actually quite a simple mission. There\'s something that we need from a place and you\'ll be the one that\'ll get it for us."

Lin Fan still had knitted brows as he asked, "Where?"

The woman said, "It\'s nothing much, we just need some simple ginseng from a mountain."

Lin Fan knitted his brows even more when he heard this.

It was clear that this woman was hiding something, something that would be very important to know.

Lin Fan kept asking, "Is there anything special about this place?"

The woman casually stretched out her hands and said, "Nothing special as far as I know."

Lin Fan raised a brow and asked, "Nothing special for you, but what about for normal people?"

The woman\'s smile became even wider when she heard this.

She had definitely dropped plenty of clues, much more than she should have, but she didn\'t mind since she did feel partial towards Lin Fan\'s group.

The woman just said, "That\'s for you to find out, isn\'t it?"

Lin Fan knitted his brows in thought for a bit, weighing out the pros and cons in his mind.

If he were to take this mission, he would definitely be able to reach A rank since a single S rank mission would give up a million points. After all, it took several tens of millions of points for an S rank seeker to reach the next rank, so each mission giving a million points was normal.

But this woman was clearly hiding something, which meant that this wasn\'t as simple as it seemed.

It was quite clear that there was a beast guarding this ginseng that she wanted, but as for what the cultivation of the beast was, it was hard for Lin Fan to guess.

With all his current abilities, Lin Fan didn\'t have to fear anyone in the Embryo Soul Realm, but if he were to fight those in the Child Soul Realm, that would be a bit hard for him.

If only this woman knew what Lin Fan was thinking.

In truth, what was guarding the ginseng was only a beast in the Embryo Soul Realm and it wasn\'t even in the peak of the Embryo Soul Realm. It was just a beast that had only broken through recently.

But this was already past the scope of a S rank mission. In truth, this should be close to a SS rank mission since Embryo Soul Realm seekers were already rare. The ones that had reached the Embryo Soul Realm had already become Hunters.

If she knew that Lin Fan was even thinking about fighting those in the Child Soul Realm, she definitely would have slapped him silly.

After a long period of thought, Lin Fan finally decided to take this risk. In a worst case scenario, even if he couldn\'t fight those in the Child Soul Realm, he would still be able to run away.

Lin Fan said, "Alright, I\'ll do it."

The woman\'s smile became even brighter like a flower blooming as she said, "Great! Then I\'ll give you a map and an illustration of the ginseng. I wish you the best of luck!"

She didn\'t keep them in this room for another second longer, after giving them the two sheets of paper, she waved them out.

Of course, when she watched them leave, she couldn\'t help looking at one of them with a different kind of emotion as a blush appeared on her face.

It was almost as if what she said before about "offering herself as a reward" wasn\'t a joke...
