Buying a Car, Senior!

"Kill my wife and child, I'll make you pay..." The Giant Python spoke in human tongue.

Bang~

Before it could finish, a figure shot over, and the Giant Python was instantly engulfed by Blood Qi True Flame, reduced to ashes.

"Young Master was already in a foul mood with nowhere to vent, and you dare show your face!"

Lin Chen snorted coldly. The incident at Tumen Village had left him feeling stifled, and when the Giant Python jumped out to block his path, he couldn't even be bothered to hear it out before sending it straight to the afterlife.

"Killed Third Order Giant Python, Origin +2000."

Even the system notification did little to lift Lin Chen's spirits. He hailed a rideshare back to school and waited over half an hour before it arrived, which only solidified his resolve to buy a car.

In the city proper, it was fine—a rideshare would arrive in ten minutes at most. But if he went outside the city, hailing one wasn't so easy.

Back at the dorm, Fatty hadn't returned yet. Probably still recovering from last night's intense battle; Lin Chen didn't bother him.

After a simple lunch, Lin Chen didn't take on any more missions. Instead, he planned to buy a car. Just then, his phone rang.

"Xu Fei?"

Seeing the caller, Lin Chen was slightly taken aback. Was it about the Tumen Village matter?

The moment the call connected, Xu Fei's voice came through, "Lin Chen, I heard about Tumen Village. Thank you. If not for you, the Demon Suppression Division would have suffered heavy losses, and Tumen Village would have been finished."

"No need for thanks. I took the mission." Lin Chen said calmly.

"This mission involved a Fourth Order expert, so the reward has been raised. It's two million total."

"Alright, just transfer it to my account." Lin Chen wasn't too concerned. Money was just a number to him now.

"Oh, and the Bronze Coffin has been sold. My friend offered three million. That makes thirty-two million total. I'll send it all to your account." Xu Fei's voice came through again.

Three million?

Hearing that, Lin Chen was visibly stunned. He knew the Bronze Coffin was a magical artifact and wouldn't be cheap, but three million still caught him off guard.

In just a few days, Lin Chen's cash on hand had neared a hundred million. In the past, he wouldn't have dared dream of it.

But money no longer mattered much to Lin Chen. A hundred million in cash wasn't even as good as a single enhancement. If he could trade money for power, he'd choose enhancement without hesitation.

Strength was the foundation of a cultivator!

Hanging up, Lin Chen hailed a rideshare. While waiting, he received the bank transfer notification. On the way to the 4S Shop, he quickly searched for a suitable car. He didn't have high demands—durability was the most important thing.

After all, Lin Chen would likely be running all over—city, suburbs, even mountain areas. The power couldn't be too weak, or someone else would beat him to the punch, and no car could make up for that.

After some filtering, Lin Chen quickly locked onto his target: the Big G. It met all his requirements in every aspect, and most importantly, it was cheap.

At over two million, it really wasn't expensive for Lin Chen now.

Soon, Lin Chen arrived at the 4S Shop. A tall, sharp-looking woman approached him. "Hello, sir. How can I help you?"

"I want to buy a Big G." Lin Chen got straight to the point.

"Of course, sir. This way, please. We have a display model." The beautiful saleswoman led Lin Chen toward the Big G on display, introducing it as they walked.

The real thing looked different from the pictures—more beautiful and three-dimensional. The sharp, defined lines made Lin Chen fall for it from the bottom of his heart. After checking the interior, he'd made up his mind.

"This model features..." The saleswoman was still diligently explaining.

Lin Chen looked at her and said directly, "It's good. I'll take it. Do you have one in stock?"

"Ah~"

The saleswoman was stunned for a moment. "Sir, you mean you want it?"

"Yes. Do you have one in stock?" Lin Chen nodded.

From the moment he walked in, less than five minutes had passed. He'd circled the car twice, glanced at the interior, and that was it? Even buying cabbage at the market wasn't this casual.

"We do have one in stock. It was ordered by a previous customer who had to give it up due to funding issues. That car has quite a few add-ons, so the price..." The saleswoman hesitated slightly.

"Price isn't an issue. Just sign the contract." Lin Chen said calmly.

"Alright!"

The saleswoman snapped out of it, beaming, and quickly had someone prepare the contract while she continued to accompany Lin Chen, answering his questions.

A few minutes later, the contract was ready. Lin Chen signed and swiped his card. But to actually drive it on the road, he still needed insurance and license plates.

Fortunately, the shop had connections with the vehicle management office, so both plates and insurance could be handled quickly—a service for customers.

After all, many buyers wanted to pick up the car and drive it away on the spot.

Even with that service, Lin Chen still spent about three hours at the shop before the plates and insurance took effect, allowing him to hit the road.

Once all the paperwork was done, Li Lin looked at Lin Chen. "Junior Lin, thanks to you, I got a big commission. How about dinner tonight? My treat."

Li Lin was the beautiful saleswoman. Interestingly, she was also a student from Qingzhou University, a year ahead of Lin Chen, and had graduated last year.

Lin Chen checked the time. It was almost dinner hour, so he nodded. "Sure."

A few minutes later, Li Lin changed into a light blue dress and came to Lin Chen. Compared to her earlier sharp look, she now seemed more serene.

They went to a nearby restaurant. It wasn't particularly upscale, but the food was good.

"Sister Li, why did you decide to work at a 4S Shop?" During small talk, Lin Chen asked what was on his mind. Sales had a low barrier to entry, and with her high education, Li Lin didn't need to choose that industry.

"Junior Lin, not everyone is born in Rome like you." Li Lin gave a wry smile before continuing, "I come from a rural village. My family couldn't offer me any help—just finishing my studies was already a struggle. I only want to earn more money after graduation and bring my parents over."

Lin Chen couldn't help but nod. Li Lin wasn't bad-looking; though she didn't reach the level of campus belle, she could still be considered pretty and refined. With her high education and a job in sales to make quick money, it was hardly something to fault.

"Actually, I wasn't born in Rome either. My parents passed away a long time ago." Lin Chen said calmly.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know..." Li Lin looked at Lin Chen with an apologetic expression.

"It's fine. It's been so many years, I've long gotten used to being alone."

Lin Chen shook his head with a smile. After dinner, he took the initiative to walk Li Lin home. The place she rented was in a village within the city—cheap rent, but the environment was relatively complicated.
