76 -75: High-Priced Poaching_1

Today, Kim Myungjin was wearing tight blue jeans that accentuated her legs perfectly, white casual shoes on her feet, and a pure white chiffon blouse on top, with short sleeves exposing her fair arms.

On her left wrist, she wore a Cartier ladies’ watch, elegant yet lively.

When Lin Baici usually went out to play with his childhood friend Li Wei, if they were tired, they either bought a Coke and sat down on the curb or went into KFC to order some stuff and rest.

But today was clearly different.

With Kim Myungjin’s attire and temperament, it would not fit in with those roadside shops, and even Lin Baici, who was not very high in emotional intelligence, knew it would be inappropriate to do so.

“Let’s go to a café!”

Having just received thirty thousand yuan, Lin Baici spoke these words with a lot of confidence.

“Let’s go!”

Kim Myungjin ran to the right side of the big Mercedes, opened the front passenger door, and said, “Oppa, please!”

“No need to be so formal!”

Feeling that everyone around was looking at him, Lin Baici quickly got into the car.

Kim Myungjin had long been used to such attention.

Because when you’re outstanding enough, people naturally pay attention to you, scrutinize you, and then some will admire you, and of course, some will despise you.

Don’t mind those looks, just be yourself.

University students have strong spending power, so each university neighborhood is packed with all kinds of shops.

Turn right out of the school gate and go sixty meters forward, there’s a two-story coffee shop named ‘Emerald Town’ decorated with Italian flair, giving off a touch of exotic charm.

“Let’s go with this one!”

After parking the car, Kim Myungjin and Lin Baici walked in.

Inside the coffee shop, there were brown floors, wind chimes hanging from the ceiling, and light music that swept past the ears, gentle like waves brushing the shore, intoxicatingly soft.

A female staff member in a coffee-colored uniform approached.

“Do you have a reservation?”

The staff member’s smile was very professional.

“No!”

Kim Myungjin looked around; there were quite a few customers, mostly couples, and the more private booths were all taken: “Is there a private room?

Or a more secluded spot?”

“Sorry, but we’ve been quite booked these last few days.

All the private rooms are reserved, and we only have a few spots left on the first floor.

How about that one by the window?”

The staff member emphasized, “You can enjoy the view!”

“This isn’t Budapest, Hungary.

What’s there to see on a street?”

Kim Myungjin complained, but she still respected Lin Baici’s opinion, “Oppa, what do you think?”

“Let’s just sit here!”

They were just going to chat; no need to be so picky.

“Right this way!”

The staff member led Lin Baici and Kim Myungjin to a spot by the window and handed them each an exquisite menu.

“Our hand-ground coffee is very good!”

Kim Myungjin was too lazy to look at the menu—what good coffee could a student-oriented coffee shop have?

Lin Baici, on the other hand, was shocked.

A pot of coffee for one hundred and eighty yuan?

And that’s the cheapest?

He hadn’t seen the pot, but he reckoned it couldn’t be big.

Besides coffee, there were desserts, cakes, ice cream, and soft drinks.

“What do you want to drink?”

Lin Baici sought Kim Myungjin’s opinion.

“Anything!”

Kim Myungjin didn’t mind.

“Let’s choose this one.

One pot of it, plus a large fruit platter.

Do you eat cake?”

Lin Baici didn’t recognize any of the coffees, so he simply chose the most expensive one, worried that the cheaper ones wouldn’t suit the aristocratic taste of this heiress.

“No!”

Kim Myungjin was keen on maintaining her figure and wouldn’t eat just anything.

“These two cakes, one of each, and a box of these little biscuits!”

This was Haijing Polytechnic, so Lin Baici felt he should play the host and treat Kim Myungjin well.

“Oppa, you don’t need to order so much!”

Kim Myungjin was touched.

Lin Baici was ordering the most expensive items; this showed he treated her as a friend and didn’t want to be a poor host.

Let her pay the bill?

Although they hadn’t known each other for long, Kim Myungjin knew that Lin Baici was not that kind of person.

“Oppa, are you going to eat dirt for half a month after this meal?”

Kim Myungjin teased.

“Do you look down on me?”

Lin Baici laughed heartily; before long, he would have a million yuan prize money coming in, and if he ran out of money, he could always scalp some wool on the Origin Forum.

“Oppa, did you change your phone?”

Kim Myungjin noticed that Lin Baici’s phone had changed to a Huawei.

“I encountered rule contamination on the way here!”

Lin Baici casually explained a few words, without going into detail.

After listening, Kim Myungjin hesitated for a moment before speaking, “Oppa, why don’t you come to Goryeo to play for a few days?

Our girl groups seem to be quite popular in the Nine States.

Do you have a favorite girl group member?

I can call them over to hang out!”

Female stars were an option too, but it seemed that people from Jiuzhou didn’t really watch Korean movies or dramas; they might not know those celebrities.

“I just started school!”

Lin Baici had never been abroad.

“Actually, now that you’re a God Hunter, it doesn’t really matter whether you attend college or not!”

Kim Myungjin didn’t know how to broach the subject; mainly because Goryeo really paled in comparison to the Nine States, and the chances of successfully luring someone away were very low.

“Learning more knowledge is always beneficial.”

Lin Baici didn’t see it that way, as most of the progress of humanity was driven by those who possess knowledge.

If a God Hunter didn’t learn, they were likely to remain just a fighter until they died.

“In the Nine States, without a license, you aren’t allowed to explore God’s ruins.

We Koreans have this rule too, but my brother is a very capable God Hunter.

He holds an important position in the military.

If you want to explore God’s ruins, I can introduce you to him.

Don’t worry, you can keep seventy percent of all profits!”

When God Hunters from other nations explored God’s ruins, they had to pay a portion of taxes, as after all, the ruins were located on the land of others, not unclaimed territory.

“Is seventy percent considered a lot?”

Lin Baici didn’t understand.

“I asked my brother, and he’s offering the maximum rate!”

Kim Myungjin didn’t mention the lower price that her brother Jin Xian had offered.

She felt it was too low, so she wanted Lin Baici to enter God’s ruins with her brother.

As long as Jin Xian saw Lin Baici’s capabilities, he would definitely offer a better price.

When trying to enlist someone, offering an exceptional price right from the start was far more effective than incrementally raising the offer.

Because that showed sincerity.

“Let’s talk about it later!”

The food they ordered arrived, and Lin Baici invited Kim Myungjin to have coffee.

…

“Xinyan, that café ahead is ‘Emerald Town,’ and their iced coffee is really good!”

Huang Tao kept looking for topics to prevent the conversation from becoming dull.

“Hmm!”

Ji Xinyan was entirely uninterested.

This Huang Tao was the son of her mother’s bestie, a sophomore this year.

After the aunt learned that she was also attending Haijing Polytechnic, she told her mother that her son could look after her.

A joke, do I even need looking after?

In fact, Ji Xinyan knew that the aunt wanted her son to marry her.

After all, her dowry was substantial.

“Holy shit, is that a Mercedes AMG E63S?”

Upon spotting the Mercedes parked in front of the coffee shop, Huang Tao exclaimed loudly, moved closer, and took out his cellphone, snapping photos excitedly.

“Hmm!”

Ji Xinyan was aware of the car.

“You know about it too?”

Huang Tao became excited, as if he had found a kindred spirit, “Look at this, 20-inch light alloy wheels with PS4S performance tires, six-piston brake calipers, quad exhaust pipes at the rear, and a ducktail spoiler on the trunk, it’s just too sexy!”

“See the V8 BITURBO logo on the wing, isn’t it just oozing with style?”

Huang Tao moved to the front of the car and caressed the hood.

“Inside here, there’s a 4.0 V8 twin-turbocharged engine with over 600 horsepower.

It’s the heart of a beast.

On the road in this car, you’re the king.

Just a tap on the gas pedal, and you can easily overtake all other vehicles!”

“You seem to know a lot about cars?”

Ji Xinyan replied casually.

Huang Tao didn’t catch on and continued excitedly, “Not really, but this Mercedes is my dream CAR.

My goal is to be able to buy one within two years with my salary after I graduate!”

“Two years?”

Ji Xinyan’s beautiful willow-leaf eyebrows furrowed.

Upon hearing her, Huang Tao inwardly cursed, thinking Ji Xinyan found his life goal too trivial, and quickly explained, “This car fully equipped would cost about two million yuan.

Even with an annual salary of a million, it would take two years to afford!”

“That is quite expensive!”

Ji Xinyan, uninterested in cars, said, “Let’s go, I’m thirsty, I want some coffee!”

“Oh, okay.”

Huang Tao walked along, still occasionally turning to look back at the Mercedes parked by the curb.

So beautiful. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

It was like a sleeping Transformer, waiting for its master to take control!

Ji Xinyan and Huang Tao entered the cafe where there were only a few seats left.

With no choice, they picked one by the window.

After sitting down, Huang Tao discreetly ordered and politely asked Ji Xinyan what she liked.

“Whatever!”

Ji Xinyan was playing with her phone but her eyes caught sight of Lin Baici.

Wow, so handsome.

Ji Xinyan silenced her phone and stealthily took a side profile picture of Lin Baici, then posted it to a high school classmates’ group chat.

Your conscience is lying: @Pink Meow, @Jumping Candy, how about our school alumnus?

High quality, right?

The patrons here at the cafe were likely students from Haijing Polytechnic.

After placing the order, Huang Tao couldn’t help but take several more glances at Kim Myungjin.

Great figure and pretty, but she seemed Korean?

Though their voices were soft, due to the proximity of the booths, he could still hear, and when the girl with dyed golden hair called the guy oppa, Huang Tao confirmed,

This was a Korean young lady,

With a hint of kimchi.

Ji Xinyan was engaged in the chat.

Jumping Candy: Can I still apply to Haijing Polytechnic?

Pink Meow: @Your conscience is lying, want his WeChat!

Want his WeChat!

My girlfriend though: This Miss is so pretty, big sister Xinyan, I want a frontal photo.

Your conscience is lying: Scram!

Taking photos of guys was one thing, but taking photos of girls was a matter of character, not to mention posting it in a group for the guys to see, which was absolutely unacceptable.

Who knows what these guys would do with the photos?

My girlfriend though posted a crying emoji.

Pink Meow: @Your conscience is lying, hurry up, my lady needs to get his WeChat within three seconds!
