Exotic Battlefield: I Can Activate Dual Talents-Chapter 148 - 142: The Cold-Hearted Woman and a Free Car
After hanging up the communication, Lu Lin felt a bit bored again.
He started reflecting on the battle just now, hoping to summarize some experience from it.
Taking down Bai Lang quickly at the beginning was a good move.
However, he made a mistake.
If you don’t kill the snake, you’ll be harmed by it.
Later, when Jin Dun came to attack him, if it weren’t for the Perceive Star Skill, Lu Lin might have been attacked by Bai Lang’s Flame Snake.
Hmm, note this down, in future battles, make sure to carefully observe the surroundings.
When attacking Jin Dun, Lu Lin obviously underestimated the power of Jin Dun’s Hardening Star Skill.
After all, the martial artists he interacted with were mainly those who had just awakened.
These martial artists had just comprehended their Star Skills, and their proficiency wasn’t high enough, leading Lu Lin to have an inaccurate understanding of the Hardening Star Skill.
Hmm, note this down, in future battles, strive to improve judgments about the enemy and avoid making experienced-based mistakes.
Next was the fight against Mi Yan.
Mi Yan’s spear skills were really strong, Lu Lin almost couldn’t dodge the first spear.
Although the main opponents in the future are Star Core Warriors, it doesn’t exclude the possibility of them having hidden means or secret bottom cards.
Never underestimate any opponent, even a lion puts forth all its strength when capturing a rabbit.
Besides, Lu Lin is far from being a lion.
Hmm, note this down, in future battles, go all out and swiftly defeat the enemy.
Later, when facing the invisible Kongming White Ape, Lu Lin was at a disadvantage because he didn’t understand its characteristics and weaknesses, leading to indecision during the battle.
Actually, reflecting now, Lu Lin could have used War Cry to pull Kongming White Ape in for close combat.
After all, the opponent can’t break his defense.
Hmm, note this down, in future battles, make full use of one’s skill advantages.
This also requires Lu Lin to become more familiar with Star Skills and practice them more often, so that during battles, he can have a good grasp of the situation.
Moreover, the role of Star Skills isn’t just about attacking or defending.
For instance, the technique he used later to cover the Kongming White Ape with armor is worth advocating.
Hmm, note this down, the use of Star Skills isn’t static.
As long as one’s mind is flexible, even with few Star Skills, one can combine them to create amazing effects.
Reflecting on today’s battle, Lu Lin felt he gained a lot.
Of course, the biggest gain should still be the broken knife.
This battle knife casually bought on Green City Fortune Street, although somewhat incomplete, had considerable weight and quality.
Lu Lin used it for so long and became familiar with it.
But unexpectedly, when cutting the Kongming White Ape, it would absorb the opponent’s Star Power and Life Energy.
Just now, Lu Lin purposely "accidentally" scratched Mi Yan, who was kicked unconscious, with the broken knife, but it didn’t react at all.
Not absorbing the opponent’s Star Power.
Nor absorbing Life Energy.
Lu Lin had a vague guess that this broken knife was specifically designed to target exotic beasts, or even the Alien Race, yet was relatively lenient against humans.
He would try it out again if the opportunity arose.
No idea when he’ll be able to enter the Exotic Battlefield.
With these thoughts, Lu Lin saw car lights glowing in the distance.
The person coming to pick him up had arrived.
A bright red magnetic levitation sports car stopped in front of Lu Lin, with Hello Kitty decorations on the car body.
This wouldn’t be a girl, would it?
The car door opened, and a long leg wearing fishnet stockings stepped out.
The twelve-centimeter high heel made Lu Lin worry whether she would sprain her foot with such a step.
Denim hot pants.
Batwing sleeve semi-transparent loose t-shirt.
Underneath, a white suspender top.
A collar two fingers wide on her neck.
Lips blood red.
Large, exaggerated round earrings dangled from her ears, hair was loose draped over her shoulders, with a patch of black-purple eyeshadow around her eyes.
Beautiful.
But it was a beauty Lu Lin couldn’t quite appreciate.
It seemed only girls who frequented nightclubs dressed like this.
"Hand over the people to me."
The voice wasn’t particularly clear either.
Though not quite a smoker’s voice, it wasn’t the gentle sound of an average woman.
The attitude was somewhat unpleasant.
Lu Lin didn’t mind it; he directly threw Mi Yan and the other two to her car. The woman disdainfully glanced at Lu Lin’s actions but said nothing, just furrowed her brows.
"Wait."
Seeing Lu Lin about to toss Kongming White Ape onto the car, the woman had to stop him.
"Don’t put this in the car, it’s dirty."
"You find a rope and hang it on the back."
"Also, where’s the elixir they were trying to snatch?"
The mention of that reminded Lu Lin.
He was waiting here so much that he hadn’t searched their car.
Only on hearing about the elixir did he recall why he was capturing them.
"I haven’t checked, it should be in their car."
Lu Lin pointed to the car Mi Yan and others came in from the distance.
"Hmm."
"Newbies are troublesome, they don’t understand anything."
The woman pouted and made a rapid movement, Lu Lin just blinked and she had already opened Mi Yan’s car door.
Without much searching, the woman found the box on the floor of the copilot seat.
Regarding other items in the car, she had no interest.
Couldn’t even bother closing the car door, quickly heading back to her car.
"Why are you standing there? Get moving."
"Uh... I don’t have a rope."
Lu Lin helplessly waved his hand.
"Humph, really speechless, there’s one in my car trunk, go get it."
"Newbies are bothersome, can’t do even small things right."
Lu Lin ignored her complaints, fetched a rope from the trunk, tied Kongming White Ape up, and hung it from the towing hook.
"All set."
The woman didn’t respond, went to the back of the car to check and seemed satisfied with Lu Lin’s job.
She then took several black bracelets from the trunk, placing them on the wrists of Mi Yan, Bai Lang, and Jin Dun.
Lu Lin recognized that these were made from chaotic Star Stones for suppressing Star Power, keeping the warrior’s Star Power in a tumultuous state while worn. Healing minor wounds was fine.
But trying to break free would activate the chaotic Star Stone to seal and disrupt the Star Power within the warrior.
In severe cases, it might cause an inner Star Power riot, expanding, exploding, akin to a berserk state.
Once all tasks were done, the woman glanced back at Lu Lin, stepped into the car, and drove away.
From start to finish, she never introduced herself to Lu Lin, nor exchanged a single non-work-related word.
Arrogant.
Cold.
Inhumane.
This was Lu Lin’s impression of her.
Watching the car depart, Lu Lin indifferently shook his head, then gazed at the two cars before him, lost in thought.
Mi Yan and the others were taken away, but the car remained here.
It seemed there was a provision in the Star Investigation Office: If a task had any spoils, they should be handed over preferentially to the office.
These spoils referred to valuable intelligence, rare resources, non-renewable special Star Power plants, unusual exotic beast cubs...
Basically, the office wasn’t interested in common items.
Of course, even if handed over, the office wouldn’t shortchange its members. Appropriate compensation and rewards would be given to investigators immediately.
Just like with the Kongming White Ape, Director Long personally helped Lu Lin apply for the subsidy, improving efficiency noticeably.
For less important items like silver jewelry, cars, houses, or Star Power potions, the office would typically assign them to the investigator handling the mission.
This meant... Lu Lin had just picked up an electromagnetic levitation car for free.
