Give You a Buff!

Li Yao was a little taken aback.

He took out his phone and opened the "Esper World" website app, and soon saw the post offering a reward for his services in the forum section.

[Bounty offered for the instigator of this temporary hype scandal—the universe's number one, invincible, handsome, and explosive Boss Li ... Damn, what an idiot's name, it's so long! A bounty of 500,000 USD is offered for any information about him, including his head. This is not an exclusive mission; the bounty amount can be accumulated.]

This is the earliest post, so it has received a lot of replies.

Someone even replied below:

"I'll add another USD 100,000!"

"I'll add another 50,000... That son of a bitch swindled all my money."

What followed was a chorus of applause, mostly from those who had lost money in this hype.

It wasn't just this one post; there were about a dozen similar posts. It seems that the post sparked a trend, and while the amounts in all the posts weren't very large, they could be claimed repeatedly.

What is this? Crowdfunding murder? Li Yao felt wronged. Don't you guys have any manners?!

What's with this "willing to gamble and unwilling to admit defeat" mentality? Isn't this an international website? Why are all the foreign netizens so irritable? Li Yao couldn't help but reminisce about when Chicken Dinner games first appeared, when a group of the Red Army were dominating the foreign servers. Now he just wanted a wave of the Red Army to appear and wipe these bastards out completely.

Look at the stock market speculators in our country. Not only did they take the blame for the country's problems, but they also didn't cause any trouble for the country afterward! They just quietly found a rooftop and went to enjoy the view.

Li Yao was saddened.

This situation is getting a bit out of control.

He initially thought this shady scheme would make him a quick buck and allow him to collect a bunch of Astral Essence, but he never expected it to escalate into such a big deal.

Thanks to the deliberate machinations of that scoundrel Wallfacer Organization, the Japanese island, North America, and Western Europe have all been significantly affected. They have stockpiled tens or even hundreds of thousands of Exhaustion Stones and don't know what to do with them...

The output of a spirit stone mine may only be tens of thousands of stones.

They've essentially hoarded several abandoned mines! What can they do with this stuff?

Want some?

As for those small and medium-sized supernatural organizations, they thought they could make a fortune by seizing the opportunity, but unexpectedly they were scammed and lost everything.

Large organizations are doing alright; they can withstand it.

Although it was painful, it wasn't crippling, but those small organizations, looking at the warehouse full of empty spirit stones... just wanted to cry! How could they not vent their resentment? So, many small and medium-sized organizations joined forces and crowdfunded a bounty on Li Yao...

They are serious about this.

Through his phone, Li Yao could even feel the chilling murderous aura emanating from the screen.

The crowdfunding reward offered by more than a dozen small and medium-sized organizations has raised nearly 20 million USD, which is equivalent to 150 to 160 million yuan. Even abroad, this is a considerable sum of money.

In China,

Surely some outcasts lurking in the underworld were tempted.

Although the website claims to keep user information confidential, when it comes to a real investigation, nothing stays secret forever. Plus, Li Yao's actions have made him so hated...

Li Yao pursed his lips; he was a little flustered.

He took out his phone and texted Lin Xiaowei: "Holy crap... This is terrible! I tried to use some underhanded tactics to get you some Astral Essence, and now I have a bounty on my head!"

Lin Xiaowei was online and immediately replied, "Tell me in detail?"

Li Yao recounted the events of the past few days to Lin Xiaowei.

There was a moment of silence on Lin Xiaowei's end.

He replied, "Even though I'm your teammate, I also kind of want to punch you."

Li Yao: "..."

Lin Xiaowei said fiercely, "What the hell are you so upset about, spending ten thousand yuan on a single piece? Just accept it and that's it! Why resort to this dirty trick! Of course, I can curse you and beat you up, but if someone else beats you up, they're messing with me, the transmigrated protagonist! They're courting death!"

Li Yao: "Do you have a solution?"

Could it be that the Summoning Altar is going to send some kind of powerful weapon to him? But the Summoning Altar operates based on the laws of nature, and items that are too far beyond one's own level will be restricted. Unless one pays a huge price, one can only summon items of a higher level.

Li Yao was pondering,

Lin Xiaowei asked curiously, "Let the Dark Flame Shadow Demon make a move! It's very strong."

It? The monster is never home at night now, and spends the day lying on the Ginkgo Tree or sunbathing on the windowsill.

Li Yao had almost forgotten that he had a familiar, and genuinely felt that he had a very easy-going pet.

Lin Xiaowei continued, "The Dark Flame Shadow Demon can manipulate shadows, dark demonic flames, and the souls of living beings; it's very powerful. Moreover, before it was sealed and made into a familiar, it was already at the peak of the mid-level, comparable to a mage who can cast Sixth Circle Spell. Although it has been weakened a lot by being sealed for so many years, it should have recovered some of its strength during this time."

Li Yao nodded. "Then I'll go ask it."

After finishing his conversation, he began summoning his familiar.

soon,

The demonic black cat emerged from the shadows, licked its paws, and asked in a haughty tone, "Why did you summon me?"

Li Yao explained his situation, and the monster scoffed, "Then you can give me their blood and souls to eat, right?"

Li Yao said frankly, "Of course you're right! I've always valued you highly, but we can't kill people indiscriminately. Anyone who can be killed indiscriminately isn't human."

enemy,

Can that even be called a human being?

The monster nodded.

That's right.

It's all just food.

After explaining things to the monster, Li Yao felt much more at ease.

He couldn't help but feel grateful to Lin Xiaowei for sending him such a familiar after the altar was completed. Although the familiar was a bit eccentric and arrogant, it was quite reliable in carrying out orders.

After all, the fate of the familiar is already tied to that of the mage.

The monk died, and so did it.

It died.

Damn it, the mage won't die... I'm so angry!

As for whether the approaching enemy monsters can be dealt with, the monsters only need to be able to detect the other party and issue a warning.

after all,

Next door lived a group of Wallfacers, including an Old Man Lu could split the Cloud Splitting.

Although Old Man Lu has never claimed to be particularly strong, the strength Old Man Lu has displayed so far suggests he is no pushover. Add to that Boss Zhou, Qi Qi, Shuisheng Ge, and the others... unless those bounty hunters can kill him in one blow, they won't be able to kill Li Yao!

Don't forget, Li Yao himself is capable of protecting himself!

In order to improve the monster's strength as soon as possible, he even took out his treasured magic stones and gave them to the monster as candy... Anyway, he was going to exchange supplies with Lin Xiaowei in the next two days, so he definitely had to put such a large amount of Astral Essence in his Space Ring and send it to her.

Then have Lin Xiaowei fill the ring and send it back! Having Space Ring is so convenient.

Interdimensional transactions can save a lot of trouble! Li Yao was almost ready, but Boss Zhou from next door suddenly sent a message saying, "Don't panic, Boss Li, we've got you covered!"

After Zhou Li said that, Li Yao felt even more panicked.

Do you think everyone is Lin Xiaoxi, someone you can just randomly heal?

First update: How much suffering must a person endure to complete this life? Thinking about the recent release of a novel written by a truly wealthy person, I can't help but feel a little envious. It's really good to be rich.
