"Haijing University of Technology!"

Speaking of school, Lin Baici was quite proud because he had tested well. "I performed exceptionally well this year!"

"We're in the same city!"

Hua Yueyu was happy. "I'm at Haijing University, studying Business Administration!"

"That's great. The new semester has started, we can get together!"

Lin Baici knew his childhood friend Li Wei liked watching livestreams, the free kind. If he knew Lin Baici had met Hua Yueyu, he would definitely be excited and pester him for a photo.

"Absolutely! Haijing is my turf. When you come, I'll arrange a feast and a whole package deal."

Hua Yueyu was clearly a social butterfly. Whether it was the beer she'd had, the atmosphere, or their growing familiarity, her attitude became more casual.

"Oh right, Xiaobai, do you have any favorite female streamers? I can help you arrange a meeting!"

Hua Yueyu could tell Lin Baici's family was poor, but that didn't matter.

He was handsome!

And he was a God Hunter, a stock with super potential!

Well!

If he didn't die in the God's Ruins.

"Not at the moment!"

Lin Baici shook his head.

"Don't be shy, just say it if you do. Your Sister Yu has connections everywhere!"

Hua Yueyu boasted.

S**, is this woman a pimp? Using these methods to please Oppa!*

Jin Yingzhen really wanted to say, what kind of female streamers were worth mentioning?

I can get members of top girl groups to come and drink with you.

But that would sound shallow.

The education Jin Yingzhen received since childhood wouldn't allow her to do that, so she smiled and changed the subject.

"Oppa, what do you plan to do with those God's Taboo Objects of yours?"

Jin Yingzhen reminded him, "Generally, God's Taboo Objects need to be sealed by professionals using a Black Coffin before they can be used. Otherwise, there's a possibility of Rule Pollution leaking out."

In fact, the entire Hilton Hotel was currently facing significant safety risks because of Lin Baici's God's Taboo Objects.

Who knew if that muscular Buddha might activate tonight while they were sleeping and start killing people randomly in the hotel.

"How do I find professionals?"

Lin Baici frowned.

These four God's Taboo Objects were like time bombs; they were indeed a problem.

"You can look for official organizations in your Great Hua, or go to the underground black market in the hunter circles. But the black market is usually a rip-off!"

Jin Yingzhen suggested, "You're still new. If you don't have anyone to guide you, you won't find the underground black market. Even if you do, you're likely to get ripped off!"

"Great Hua's official organizations?"

Lin Baici was curious. "What are they called?"

"The Nine Provinces Divine Shield Security Agency!"

Jin Yingzhen got this information from her brother.

"Will they confiscate Xiaobai's God's Taboo Objects?"

Hua Yueyu worried.

"I don't know!"

Jin Yingzhen only knew the name of an organization; she didn't know its reputation.

"How much are these God's Taboo Objects worth?"

Lin Baici pondered if he should sell one or two of them.

The Black Altar Bowl couldn't be sold!

Using it to hold food, it only took a minute to purify any impurities and toxins in the food.

Whether it was gutter oil food, expired snacks, or drinks mixed with chemicals, as long as they were placed in the Black Altar Bowl, they could be eaten with confidence.

In this era where food safety had become a persistent major problem, anyone holding this Black Altar Bowl could live at least ten years longer.

Illness enters through the mouth?

No longer a concern!

Of course, the most important function of this alms bowl was its internal 'granary,' which could be used to store any item.

With it, Lin Baici could go out with as many things as he wanted, put them in the alms bowl, stuff the alms bowl into his backpack, and leave with ease.

The Bodhi Messenger Kasaya can't be sold either!

When donned, it can summon a muscular Buddha wearing only a pair of leather shorts, who will help with laundry, cooking, chopping wood, and feeding horses.

If a fight breaks out, it can also hand over knives and bury bodies.

Aside from occasionally going berserk and punching its owner, there are practically no flaws.

The cattail pollen cushion, this also seems quite useful.

Anyone sitting on it to study can maintain focus, be full of energy, and possess Eidetic Memory.

Although he himself has absorbed the Divine Grace from it, others can still enhance their memory with prolonged use, and it even has the effect of curing Alzheimer's disease.

What a shame!

If this cushion could cure Alzheimer's in half a month, he would be making money just lying at home.

Finally, the Pine Torch!

When it burns, it emits a pleasant pine fragrance, can ignite anything, and reduce it to ashes in a very short time.

Lin Baici felt there was little chance he'd use it, as arson is a crime punishable by jail time!

Moreover, this torch is too dangerous; everyone who sees it wants to pick it up and play with it, and while playing, a strong impulse to burn others or themselves arises.

"In the hunter circles, meteor coins rich in divine energy are the hard currency. The raw material comes from meteorites. If you exchange it for money, you'll be losing out too much!"

Jin Yingzhen licked her lips: "If you want to sell it, I can ask my brother? I guarantee he won't let you lose out!"

Actually, if she bought it with money, she could make the decision herself. Ten million, twenty million, it was all pocket change. But Lin Baici had saved her life, so she couldn't take advantage of him.

"I think you shouldn't sell it!"

Hua Yueyu believed God's Taboo Objects were rare items. Once sold, it wouldn't be easy to buy them back.

"Oppa, don't rush to make a decision!"

Jin Yingzhen took a sip of juice and handed the newly purchased Apple smartphone to Lin Baici and Hua Yueyu.

"Thank you!"

Hua Yueyu accepted with both hands and said gratefully, "I'll transfer the money to you later!"

The phone was the PRO MAX version, the best configured and most expensive, costing over ten thousand yuan, but Hua Yueyu could easily afford it.

"It's just a phone!"

Jin Yingzhen didn't want the money. She saw Lin Baici hadn't taken it: "Oppa?"

"It's too expensive!"

Lin Baici felt embarrassed to accept it.

"Oppa, you saved my life!"

Jin Yingzhen stood up, holding the Apple smartphone with both hands, bowing ninety degrees as she handed it to Lin Baici. Her attitude was much more solemn than before.

"A small gift, not much to offer!"

"Just take it!"

Hua Yueyu persuaded.

Despite Jin Yingzhen's shorts, tank top, and flip-flops, giving her a casual, at-home appearance, nothing she wore looked cheap. They were all luxury items.

The purple slippers on her feet, Hua Yueyu recalled, were likely Chanel, costing over seven thousand yuan.

It was just a phone; Jin Yingzhen truly didn't care about that amount of money.

"Thank you!"

Lin Baici accepted it. If he refused any longer, it would seem too affected.

Besides, once he had money in the future, he would gift Jin Yingzhen the latest model of an Apple phone in return.

"Oppa, you don't need to be so polite with me!"

Jin Yingzhen sighed. Oppa had such great character. If it were the "puppy boys" her girlfriends knew, they would have eagerly accepted the gift and called her "princess" with a fawning face.

Hua Yueyu opened the packaging, took out the phone, and swapped her SIM card.

She found it worked!

"Yeah! This saves trouble, no need to change SIM cards!"

As soon as Hua Yueyu logged into WeChat, hundreds of messages immediately popped up.

Especially in the twenty-odd wealthy fan groups, everyone was tagging her. After all, she had suddenly ended her livestream, making everyone very worried about her.

She'd deal with it later!

Hua Yueyu leaned closer to Lin Baici: "Xiao Bai, are you done? Let's add each other as friends!"

"One moment!"

Lin Baici's previous phone was a hand-me-down from his mother, costing only a little over a thousand yuan. Now that he suddenly had an Apple phone, he still needed to get used to it.

"I'll teach you!"

Hua Yueyu immediately turned into a private tutor, guiding Lin Baici on how to use apps. "Apps like WeChat and Meituan need to be downloaded from this store!"

Operating a smartphone was simple, especially since Lin Baici had activated Eidetic Memory. He could recall anything he heard after listening just once.

With the Divine Grace of Eidetic Memory activated, Lin Baici could clearly remember anything he heard for at least three years.

If he didn't activate it, and just listened casually, he would start forgetting within half a month to a few months.

"Maybe I can be a top student in the future!"

Lin Baici looked forward to it.

"Xiao Bai, do you have a bank card?"

Hua Yueyu guessed that Lin Baici didn't.

"No!"

Lin Baici had just graduated from high school; he didn't have such things.

"It's inconvenient without a bank card, let's get one!"

The female streamer suggested.

Ding-dong!

Lin Baici received a transfer notification.

From Little Fishman!

"What are you doing?"

Lin Baici was confused.

Little Fishman was Hua Yueyu's WeChat nickname, and they had just added each other as friends!

"The daily single transaction limit is fifty thousand yuan, don't think it's too little!"

Hua Yueyu was a little worried, as this amount was quite small.

Lin Baici rolled his eyes and didn't accept the transfer, continuing to fiddle with his phone.

"Hey? You accepted it!"

Hua Yueyu urged him. "You have to let me do something for you, right? Otherwise, I won't feel right about it!"

"Weren't you planning to arrange a feast for me?"

Lin Baici teased.

"That's not the same thing!"

Hua Yueyu got anxious. "I need to do something to repay you!"

"If you consider me a friend, then don't worry about it!"

Lin Baici definitely refused.

He didn't save people in the God's Ruins for money.

"Okay!"

Hua Yueyu nodded. She would always remember this kindness in her heart.

[Their affection for you is gradually increasing. If you put in a little more effort, you can have them!]

The God of Gluttony suddenly spoke.

'Is your "having" proper?'

Lin Baici was startled. He still wasn't used to a voice suddenly appearing in his mind.

[Both of them are very healthy and have never been with anyone. Whether for pleasure or procreation, they are both high-quality partners!]

"..."

Lin Baici felt like he had heard some incredibly important information.

"It's a shame we can't livestream in the God's Ruins, it would definitely be a huge hit!"

Hua Yueyu, now safe, started thinking about work again. The God's Taboo Game was thrilling and exciting, and would definitely capture her viewers' attention.
