Chapter 52 Taking the lead, Zhao Lingyun is anxious!
The five people were very surprised.
As scions of prominent families, they understand certain unspoken rules better than ordinary people.
On days like today when you choose your pet, the first to arrive means the first to choose.
The right to choose first signifies that this unknown young man holds a higher position in the Star Moon Merchant Guild's eyes than the five of them.
How is that possible!
In Jiangyang City, are there any families more powerful than these?
"It's you? Su Lin?"
Just as everyone was lost in their own thoughts, one of them suddenly spoke up.
His tone carried a hint of doubt and surprise, clearly indicating that he was extremely surprised to see Su Lin here.
Su Lin also knew this person.
It was Zhao Lingyun, the eldest son of the younger generation of the Zhao family, who awakened his SS-rank profession that day.
"It's Zhao, what a coincidence."
Su Lin nodded expressionlessly, which was his way of greeting him.
On the day of awakening, although the other party was polite on the surface, they made no attempt to hide their contempt for me.
Under these circumstances, it was already the limit for Su Lin to even greet him; how could he possibly give him a friendly look?
"Well……"
Zhao Lingyun clearly hadn't expected Su Lin to be so cold, and her brows immediately furrowed.
In his view, he could look down on Su Lin.
But why should Su Lin, an E-rank Beast Tamer, act aloof in front of me?!
Putting everything else aside, in these three days, with the help of my family, I've managed to level up by 20!
Su Lin should have gone to level up too. Hasn't he experienced the harsh realities of life yet? Hasn't he realized he's just an E-rank trash?
Why would Lin Qingli take a liking to such an idiot and good-for-nothing!
Zhao Lingyun grew angrier the more she thought about it.
However, before he could say anything, a young man in armor next to him asked:
"Brother Yun, do you know this guy? Could you introduce him to us?"
"hehe."
Zhao Lingyun calmed herself down and smiled:
"We wouldn't say we know each other, we just went to the same school. You've probably all heard about his situation, but you just haven't paid much attention to it."
Upon hearing this, the others immediately raised their eyebrows.
Jiang Feng and Jiang Yuyao's expressions changed slightly.
Even a fool could tell that this guy seemed to look down on Su Lin!
Jiang Feng, not wanting to cause any more trouble, immediately took over the conversation.
"This is my home, so let me introduce it to you."
As he spoke, he pointed at Zhao Lingyun and looked at Su Lin:
"Brother Lin, you recognize this, so I won't waste any more words."
"This is Liu Sen from the Liu family, an S-rank wood-type mage."
"This is Wang Long of the Wang family, also an S-rank class, a shield warrior."
"As for these two, they are twin siblings from the Yang family, Yang Yixuan and Yang Xinze, both of whom are SS-rank professions. The brother is a Holy Knight and the sister is a Necromancer."
After a brief explanation of the situation, Su Lin nodded secretly.
It seems these are some of the most promising guys in Jiangyang City this year, and they will be formidable opponents when I take the college entrance exam!
Five people, three SS-rank and two S-rank. If you include Jiang Yuyao and her brother, there are a total of seven geniuses above the S-rank standing in this room!
An ordinary person would probably be restless and uneasy by now.
Su Lin, however, remained calm.
What does S-order matter to him?
Genius is merely the threshold to my understanding!
After giving the introductions, Jiang Feng began to introduce Su Lin:
"You just heard this person's name, Su Lin, my brother Lin, is also a distinguished guest of our Xingyue Trading Company, and the godson of City Lord Lin."
"Brother Lin prefers quiet, so he hasn't shown his face much. It's normal that you don't recognize him. You can just get to know him again."
The subtext of his words was quite clear.
Regardless of Zhao Lingyun's situation, Su Lin is a distinguished guest of the Jiang family. You'd better not have any ideas and get back to your proper place!
After hearing Jiang Feng's explanation, the others suddenly understood and thought to themselves:
"So it was Su Lin, the descendant of that martyr, who was adopted by Lord Lin."
"I heard this person...didn't they awaken an E-rank class?"
"Could it be that she came in place of Lin Qingli?"
They looked at each other, and soon concluded that they had found the reason why the Jiang family valued Su Lin so much.
Lin Qingli!
Whether she is the city lord's daughter or the only SSS-rank genius in the entire Jiangyang City.
Any one of their titles is a step above those of the family scions.
If Su Lin came in place of Lin Qingli, then it's normal for him to choose before them.
Thinking about this...
None of them intended to develop a close relationship with Su Lin.
He's just an E-rank professional. Even if he's the descendant of a martyr and has Lord Lin backing him up, what can he do?
Ultimately, this world is about strength.
The two sides are from completely different worlds!
They nodded to each other, which was considered a greeting.
Zhao Lingyun didn't press Su Lin any further.
He didn't want to appear petty in front of so many people.
Business comes first!
"Brother Jiang Feng, to be honest, I came here today specifically for that elemental spirit. Let's not waste any more time, just take me there!"
Zhao Lingyun got straight to the point.
"Um?"
Upon hearing this, Su Lin, Jiang Yuyao, and Jiang Feng were all taken aback.
Jiang Feng was most surprised: "Who told you there was that elemental spirit today? Did we release any information?"
He knew very well that the golden elemental spirit was brought out by his father at his sister's suggestion, and it could be said that it was specially prepared for Su Lin!
Only a few chamber of commerce staff who handled the matter knew about it, and it was never spread outside the chamber.
How did Zhao Lingyun know?
I came here specifically for it!
It seems there's a traitor in the business!
"this……"
Zhao Lingyun felt somewhat embarrassed.
He did indeed learn in advance through rumors that the gold elemental beast would appear at this selection meeting.
This matter shouldn't have been brought up in the first place.
But who would have thought that Su Lin would arrive before them!
He didn't say it outwardly, but he was getting anxious inside!
After all, even a fool knows that the golden elemental spirit is a good thing. If Su Lin picks it up, wouldn't he be happy for nothing?
That's why he couldn't wait to tell the story—he still harbored a sliver of hope that Su Lin might not have seen the elf yet, and if he said this, Su Lin definitely wouldn't be able to choose.
At the very least, the two are competing fairly.
That will make things easier.
Zhao Lingyun's profession is also a warrior. He made extremely thorough preparations for this elemental spirit, and it could even be said that he had the entire Zhao family as his backing!
He simply couldn't believe that the Zhao family could pour all their resources into him, an SS-level professional genius, and that Lin Xiong could do the same for Su Lin, an E-level Beast Tamer.
Even if it were possible.
The city lord only has more power; in terms of wealth, he may not necessarily have more than the Zhao family!
With this in mind, Zhao Lingyun disregarded everything else and forced himself to say:
"Brother Jiang Feng, don't worry about how I found out. Is that beast here or not? How much? Just name your price, and I'm buying it today!"
"this……"
Jiang Feng was somewhat embarrassed.
Coming from a merchant family, his instinct was still not to offend his customers.
But Jiang Yuyao, standing to the side, was extremely decisive.
"The gold element spirit is indeed here."
Zhao Lingyun was immediately overjoyed.
Jiang Yuyao immediately poured cold water on his enthusiasm: "But you can't buy it today."
"Why!"
Zhao Lingyun's heart sank immediately, and she subconsciously stared at Su Lin.
"Since the pet has already been reserved by Su Lin, my Star Moon Trading Company does not have the habit of selling the same item to two different people."
As Jiang Yuyao finished speaking, Zhao Lingyun's gaze suddenly turned cold.
really!
This guy beat me to it!
A surge of immense disappointment and anxiety transformed into boundless rage, rushing to Zhao Lingyun's head, and he blurted out a low growl:
"Why should I?! I refuse to accept this!"
"We all arrived at this pet selection meeting together today, so why did he show up early?"
"Is this how your Star Moon Trading Company does business? This is unfair! I demand fair competition; whatever he bids, I'll bid double!"
Anyone could see that Zhao Lingyun was getting anxious!
But everyone can understand.
After all, a suitable pet can be a huge help to a professional!
For Zhao Lingyun, a gold elemental spirit could at least double his combat power, making it extremely significant!
In fact, the entire Zhao family had been planning this for a long time and had secretly prepared a treasure that could allow the gold element spirit to mutate a second time, with a high probability of advancing to the SS rank!
At that time, with an SS-rank professional and an SS-rank beast pet, he would be like a tiger with wings!
How could he accept that Su Lin would beat him to it?!
"Feel sorry."
Unfortunately, Jiang Yuyao didn't care how anxious he was at that moment.
"We cannot fulfill your request. The transaction is already completed, and Xingyue Trading Company cannot go back on its word."
"Furthermore, we didn't charge Su Lin a single penny for taking this golden elemental spirit away."
"To be frank, the reason we didn't announce that this pet would appear today is because it was specially prepared for Su Lin. If he hadn't wanted it, it would have been a pleasant surprise for everyone. Now that he's decided, it's fate."
"Zhao, please choose another pet!"
