Chapter 119: Honestly, how spineless!-Mass Job Change: My Skills Are All Forbidden Spells with a Ten Thousand Times Boost(By the banks of the Ruoshui River, the wine cups drift along the gentle current.)

"Two pieces of Gold-tier equipment?"

Manager Tian paused. Though his heart ached at the cost, he could still afford a few million; it would just mean tightening his belt for a while.

"That's right, two pieces of Gold-tier equipment. If you can't deliver, I will certainly pursue this matter to the end!" Wang Qiang declared with an air of absolute certainty.

Liu Yunyun and Yuan Si were both brimming with excitement. Two pieces of Gold-tier equipment! Those were treasures! A single piece of Gold-tier gear fetched millions on the market, and he had secured two! They had hit the jackpot!

Lin Han and Feihua, however, were speechless. For a matter of this magnitude, he only asked for two pieces of Gold-tier equipment? What a massive loss! Clearly, Wang Qiang did not realize the gravity of the situation. Attempting to murder a top-ranking scholar was enough to keep someone locked away for life! And he had settled for just two Gold-tier items...

The man was obviously extremely wealthy. Forget two Gold-tier items; he could easily have coughed up two Platinum-tier pieces! He could have even demanded some high-grade skill books! Feihua was utterly exasperated. With Lin Han’s assets running into the billions, would he even care about two Gold-tier items?

Wang Qiang leaned over to Lin Han and whispered proudly, "Han, what do you think? Would you say I'm pushing my luck?"

"Pushing... my foot!" Lin Han wanted to curse. After all that effort, he had only managed to squeeze out two Gold-tier items!

Manager Tian spoke earnestly, "Young friend, don't worry. Just give me an address later, and I will have the items delivered to your home. I’ll also include three dungeon 'Free-Pass' scrolls from our department. They allow unlimited entry into any dungeon below the Saint-tier, three times each."

Wang Qiang nodded hurriedly. "Fine, I suppose you're at least sincere. Send the items to Lin Han's house; you should know where that is, right?"

"Of course, I naturally know the home of Scholar Lin," Manager Tian said with a flattering smile.

Lin Han stepped in, saying, "Send the equipment to your place, and the scrolls to mine. That’s what you deserve."

For Lin Han, the equipment was useless, but the dungeon scrolls were highly valuable. Dungeons below the Saint-tier meant he could challenge up to Legendary-tier dungeons. These were likely benefits provided by the upper departments. To Manager Tian, they were trivial, but to them, these three scrolls were worth far more than two pieces of Gold-tier gear.

"Han, I can't accept something so valuable," Wang Qiang protested.

"Just take what you're given, don't be so wishy-washy," Lin Han said firmly. He then turned to Manager Tian. "Manager Tian, I believe this matter has nothing to do with you, and I don't want to blow this out of proportion."

"I understand," Manager Tian replied. "Thank you for trusting me, brother Lin."

"I trust you, but that doesn't mean this matter is just going to be swept under the rug."

"Naturally." Manager Tian patted his chest. "Leave this to me. Someone causing trouble on my turf is absolutely unacceptable! I will investigate this thoroughly and give you a proper explanation."

Lin Han stood up. "In that case, we will be heading out."

"Brother Lin, since this happened today, let me host you all for a meal. Pick any place you like."

Lin Han declined. "My mother is waiting for me at home. Once the investigation concludes, I’ll be the one to treat you to dinner, Manager Tian."

"If that's the case, let me see you out."

This time, Lin Han did not refuse. As they walked out of the mission portal hall, Manager Tian turned back, leaving the group alone.

"You guys should head back, too. I'm taking my leave," Lin Han said, preparing to say goodbye.

Yuan Si stepped forward. "Lin Han, I don't know when we'll meet again. You're not a bad guy. Once I reach the third rank as an assassin, I'll challenge you again. I’ll definitely defeat you then!"

Lin Han laughed. "I'll be waiting. I hope you're much stronger than you were last time."

"Don't worry, I'll definitely give you a shock!" With that, Yuan Si stepped through the portal and left.

"You two should head back early as well!"

"Right. But about the Gold-tier equipment..." Wang Qiang still felt a bit awkward. Getting two pieces for nothing wasn't really his style.

"Take it if I told you to. If you don't like it, sell it," Lin Han waved him off. "Treat Yunyun well, take her out for something good. We're heading off."

With that, Lin Han left with Feihua.

"Wang Qiang, I feel like Lin Han is quite mysterious. I can't seem to read him at all," Liu Yunyun said, watching Lin Han's retreating figure.

"That's just how Han is. He values his friends more than anything," Wang Qiang said with a sigh. "Is there anything you want to eat? It's still early; I'll take you home afterward."

"You were so severely injured today and you can still eat?" Liu Yunyun teased.

Wang Qiang patted his chest and laughed. "Of course! Even if I were hurt worse, I'd still have to eat and drink!"

"Fine..."

...

Meanwhile, Lin Han and Feihua were walking home.

"Young boss, what do you make of this?"

Lin Han replied, "I'm not sure. According to you and Manager Tian, the monsters in the dungeons are pre-programmed and shouldn't have the capacity to grow."

"That's right. Dungeons within the city are like that; in a sense, they are virtual," Feihua answered.

"If that's the case, then someone deliberately tampered with the data," Lin Han said. "As for why they would do it during this particular session, it's not hard to guess."

"Young boss, are you saying it was targeted at you?" Feihua asked, puzzled.

Lin Han said seriously, "It's hard to say. Everyone else seems to have been having a smooth time lately; no one would deliberately try to kill them. Besides, I was the only one who received that dungeon invitation. Yuan Si only entered because of his family's connections. They couldn't be sure who would enter, but they could be certain that I would. As for you, there's no need to consider it—no fool would think a Minotaur Chief could handle a Supreme-tier powerhouse. If someone actually tried that, they aren't worth worrying about. Therefore, all signs point to me. It's almost certain that this was aimed at me."

Listening to Lin Han, Feihua asked doubtfully, "Are you that sure? Maybe it was meant for Yuan Si?"

"It's possible, but highly unlikely."
