"My Money Was Wasted!"

Are you kidding me?

"My money was wasted!"

Kuit looked startled, both angry and furious.

But what followed was fear and worry.

The reason he made the move just now was because he saw through Linsey and Ka Ji's meager strength, so he used the two of them as helpers to delay the monsters behind them.

But what about now?

How could a man who could easily resist the temptation of his Double Serpent Coin be a simple character! However, plans can't keep up with the changes in reality.

In the blink of an eye, Linsey caught up with Quett.

The wealthy merchant saw the situation as it was.

His face quickly turned from dark to red, and he forced a fawning smile:

"Sir, I think we can have a good talk!"

"Since we've all come to this secret realm together, we should work together to overcome the difficulties and solve the problems ahead!"

Kuit had no idea of Garden Enclosure's secrets.

Based solely on what he saw and heard, he regarded this place as the core remnant of the Forest Veins, as well as a super-large secret realm.

"You're absolutely right!" Linsey, contrary to her usual self, even agreed with Kuit's statement.

The wealthy merchant quickly introduced himself, "Hello, I am Kuit, a merchant from the Riverbank Merchant Guild."

"If you are active in Remote Yue City, you should know our business philosophy of integrity."

"Di Ya Bo Luo." Linsey nodded slightly and asked as she ran, "Kuit, since you're being chased by this thing, you should know its origins. Tell me the details."

During the dialogue.

Linsey has switched the Game Module to "Hunting Simulation".

His [Game Player] skill now has three Module Slot. Usually, [RPG] will definitely take up one slot, and the remaining two slots are still not enough, so he needs to switch frequently.

Kuit quickly replied, "I'm sorry, I don't know what happened either!"

"This thing might be the guardian of the secret realm, which is why it attacked us intruders."

—You're the intruder, I'm not.

Linsey sneered inwardly, but outwardly continued to extract information, "Then you should at least know where this thing comes from, right?"

Kuit immediately explained, "There must be some predecessors here who entered before us! I followed his trail all the way in and came to a garden-like place. Suddenly, the vines there became active and grew wildly, lunging at me."

Linsey raised an eyebrow:

"Someone got in before us?"

Kuit replied quickly:

"That's right! I'm pretty sure there is such a person, but I'm not sure of their identity. I just know that they came in about a day earlier."

Linsey asked again, "No other news?"

"Yes, I was also attacked suddenly." Quete began to discuss how to deal with the current crisis. "I think we should first probe its specific situation. I have an appraisal skill that can only be used once a day, which I used to find the way in. Right now, the biggest problem we lack is time!"

"..."

"I think you're right, what we lack most right now is time."

Linsey nodded in agreement.

Immediately as he was running, he suddenly swept his right leg horizontally, aiming straight for Kuit's feet beside him.

Bang—"Huh?!"

Linsey's kick was fast, accurate, and completely unexpected.

The wealthy merchant was caught off guard by the attack and stumbled to the ground.

When Kuit got up from the ground, she looked up.

Linsey's figure had already quickly disappeared from sight, and only a few dozen meters away in the tunnel, the echo of his polite farewell slowly reverberated:

"Lord Kuit, then please do us the trouble of stopping this thing and buying us some more time—"

"..."

Damn it!

"Di Ya Bo Luo, is it? I'll remember you."

Kuit cursed loudly.

He stared intently at Linsey's departing figure, wanting to continue throwing out the Double Serpent Coin to control his opponent.

But the scene of Linsey's immune control just now is still vivid in my mind.

While a merchant's skills may be useful, the essence of everything still lies in his own wealth.

If the funds are exhausted.

Even a high-ranking merchant like Kuit, at the Sixth Stage, can find himself in a desperate situation with no way out.

"We can't gamble our money here!"

Kuit staggered forward a couple of steps, then heard a creaking sound behind her.

He turned his head and saw that the surging plants were even closer, so he had no choice but to obediently pay.

"Stop! No further ahead!"

Gala—

The Double Serpent Coin were thrown by Kuit, and the spreading plants immediately stopped.

But upon closer inspection, one can see that the part behind it is still restless, waiting for the influence of the Double Serpent Coin to dissipate before it returns to its previous ferocious state! "What kind of losing proposition is this?"

Kuit cursed.

He didn't dare to delay and quickly continued running.

During the chase, he tried to control the plant using the Double Serpent Coin.

Unfortunately, the other party's size far exceeded his financial resources, so Kuit could only delay their progress.

At this moment, he pulled out a considerable sum of money.

A pained expression crossed his face as he fled to other locations, while simultaneously devising a new plan.

Kuit's conversation with Linsey just now wasn't entirely without truth.

From her merchant knowledge of appraising the value of goods, Kuit developed a special skill of detection that could be used about once every half day, rather than a whole day.

As long as he can buy enough time.

When the technique is activated, the weakness of this plant will also be found!

Further ahead, Linsey, with Ka Ji tucked around her waist, was still running into the distance.

The Double Serpent Coin treats all perceivers equally in terms of control.

After they had run far enough away that they could no longer hear Kuit and the sounds of the plant growing, Linsey threw the Perceiver to the ground.

Ka Ji looked up in a panic. "Lord Di Ya Bo Luo, why did you abandon Mr. Kuit?"

"He should... ugh—"

Ten minutes passed exactly.

As the bewitching effect on Ka Ji wore off, he jolted awake and began to gag, squeezing his eyes shut.

Their will and actions were forcibly influenced by the Double Serpent Coin.

It was definitely not a good experience.

However, Ka Ji's attention immediately returned to Linsey: "Lord Di Ya Bo Luo, you weren't bewitched by the Double Serpent Coin just now?"

"That's the skill of Sixth Stage master merchant!"

Linsey shrugged, offering no comment, and instead gave direct instructions to Ka Ji:

"Use your senses to confirm their location."

"That thing is not something we can handle. We need to adjust our route carefully."

The perceiver obeys the command and immediately begins to perceive the surrounding environment.

Linsey sighed almost imperceptibly.

[Map] Skills are currently affected by the Garden Enclosure and cannot function properly.

The biggest advantage he had with Ka Ji was that he could use the Perceiver's abilities to help him scout out his environment.

To put it bluntly...

Ka Ji is Linsey's eyes and ears; without him, things would be a mess.

Meanwhile, Linsey began to examine the [Hunting Notes].

Because the Game Module was switched in time.

The specific attributes of that crazy plant have already appeared in his "Hunting Notes".

The Garden Enclosure has been closed off in the Courtyard in the Forest for countless years.

The emerging threat was the terrifying plant that had just been chasing them.
