There were many angry and jealous looks that were turned in Lin Fan’s direction.
Lin Fan was surprised to hear this from this girl, but he also took this chance to get a proper look at her.
To say that she wasn’t a beauty would be lying.
This girl was a beauty with fine fair skin, wide sparkling eyes, and her hair done in a ponytail. She was the perfect example of a girl next door that any man would have been happy to be childhood friends with.
So her offering her body like this wasn’t a light offer.
But Lin Fan just calmly said, “No need.”
The girl couldn’t help being shocked when she heard this.
She looked at Lin Fan with that same shocked look that slowly filled with confusion as she slowly said, “What did you say?”
It had been so shocking that she hadn’t been able to process what he had just said.
But Lin Fan didn’t hesitate to say, “No need. Why would I go through the trouble for something like that?”
The girl couldn’t help revealing an aggrieved look when she heard this.
She had made up her mind to offer her body to this person to save her mother, but it turned out that this person didn’t even want her. She had this bit of confidence in her beauty, but it turned out that it was false confidence.
Lin Fan could see the look on her face and could already guess how things would develop, so he turned to look at the spectators.
With a single snort, he released a bit of his pressure to suppress all of them.
The moment that they felt this pressure fall on them, they immediately closed the mouths that had been opening to speak up for the girl.
The moment that they felt this pressure, they immediately felt a chill run down their spine.
Their instincts told them that…the person who released this pressure definitely was not someone that they could fight.
So they all couldn’t help closing their mouths and turning away.
Not a single one of them spoke up for this girl.
But the girl didn’t notice since she was still in a daze from what Lin Fan had said.
There was an awkward silence that filled the air after he released his pressure like this, but Lin Fan wasn’t bothered at all.
He just stood there for a moment before turning back to the receptionist he had been talking to earlier and saying, “Please help me register this mission.”
When the girl heard this, she felt like her last hope had been cut and she fell to her knees again. She looked up and started bawling right in front of Lin Fan as she said, “But my mom will die…”
Even if Lin Fan knew that there wasn’t anything to gain from getting involved with this girl, it wasn’t as if his heart was completely dead.
Seeing her cry like this, he couldn’t help feeling a bit awkward.
But there was something else that concerned him more.
The bigger of a mess that she created, the more attention that she would draw to him. The more attention that she drew to him, the more likely that the Lin Family would notice him.
If the Lin Family noticed him before everything was in place…
So in the end, Lin Fan turned back to the girl. After shaking his head and putting his hand up to his face to give a sigh, he said, “What is the medicine that you need for your mother?”
The girl slowly stopped crying as she looked up at him with a dazed and confused look.
Seeing her like this, he said with a sigh, “I don’t have all day. Tell me quickly or I’m leaving.”
At this, the girl couldn’t help jolting before saying, “My mother is suffering from a form of blood rot, so she needs Blood Lingzhi to help her recover. It can only be found in the second ring of the Roaming Mist Forest, but…”
The receptionist who had been talking to the girl before added, “The Roaming Mist Forest is classified as a C Rank danger zone and the second ring is so dangerous that even B Rank Mercenaries would struggle there.”
The girl slowly gave a nod.
She didn’t want to hide anything from the one person that she could turn to for help. If he found out later and abandoned her…
Lin Fan just stroked his chin for a bit before saying, “Alright, I can take you there, but it won’t be for free.”
The girl’s eyes filled with hope before she looked up with a determined look and said, “Yes, I’ll give you anything if you help me.”
Then with a blush on her face, she looked down and said in a smaller voice, “Even if you want my body.”
Lin Fan just reached his hand out and flicked her forehead before saying, “Why would I need that? It’s not like that will give me any benefits.”
The girl once again fell into a daze as she looked up at Lin Fan.
The look in her eyes…it was almost as if she was asking, “Is there something wrong with you? Do you swing that way?”
She had her confidence as a beautiful girl and though she was offering her body, he didn’t seem to care at all.
It really hurt her pride a bit…
But she quickly recovered since she knew that her hurt pride wasn’t important right now. The most important thing was being able to get that medicine for her mother and nothing else.
Slowly she asked, “Then what do you want?”
Lin Fan gave a nod before saying, “Information. I’m new to the city, so I want some information from you.”
The girl couldn’t help revealing a surprised and confused look as she slowly asked, “Is that it?”
Lin Fan narrowed his eyes and said, “The information that I want isn’t cheap.”
The girl felt a chill run down her spine when she heard this.
Though she acted this way, she wasn’t a fool. She could instantly tell that the information that this person wanted definitely wasn’t something simple.
But she had no choice right now, so she could only give a nod of agreement.
Lin Fan also gave a nod back before taking back the mission that he had been about to register. He went over to the receptionist that had been talking to the girl earlier and said, “Can you let me see the mission that she wanted to take earlier?”
The receptionist nodded and handed the piece of paper over.
Hunting Blood Spiders.
That was the C Rank Mission that the girl had been trying to take earlier.
Blood Spider, Blood Lingzhi, they had to be connected somehow.
It wouldn’t be strange if the Blood Spider’s nest was where the Blood Lingzhi grew, which was why she was so insistent on taking this mission. It was her only clue to finding the medicine that would save her mother.
After reading the mission post, Lin Fan turned back to the receptionist and asked, “Can you show me a map of the surrounding area?”
The receptionist gave a nod before pulling out a map for him.
He looked at the D Rank Mission that he had been about to take and looked at a specific area on the map.
After looking at it for a bit, Lin Fan said, “Alright, help me register for both the D Rank and C Rank Missions. I should be able to clear them back to back since they’re in the same direction.”
The receptionist was surprised, but she quickly gave a nod and helped him register for both of them.
He turned back to the girl and said, “Add her name on the registration too. She’ll be coming along with me.”
The receptionists gave another nod with a relieved smile on her face.
The girl had been in a daze as she waited to see what he had been up to, but when she heard him say to add her name, she immediately rushed forward to grab him. But Lin Fan moved out of the way and she went past him to fall to the ground.
She couldn’t help hitting her face as she fell on the ground.
When she looked up, he looked at her and said, “Don’t touch me unless it’s necessary. I don’t like being touched.”
The girl couldn’t help revealing an aggrieved look, but she still gave a nod to show that she understood.
The receptionist worked very quickly and it took no time at all for her to finish registering these missions.
When she handed the forms back to Lin Fan, he couldn’t help knitting his brows as he said, “The reward amount is a bit different.”
The receptionist gave a nod before saying, “I used my own discretion to increase the reward for you a bit.” After saying that, she looked up at Lin Fan with a deliberate look in her eyes.
Then she turned back to the girl and said, “Xiao Zi, this is all I can do to help you.”
The girl looked at the receptionist and said with a touched look, “Xiang Xiang…Thank you.”
The receptionist girl just said with a smile, “Take care and good luck.”
Lin Fan shook his head before grabbing the girl by the collar and pulling her out of the Mercenary Guild.
Once they were out, he quickly headed to the gate of the city.
He wanted to get this done quickly so he wouldn’t have to deal with her anymore, but he was also certain that she would want to get this done as soon as possible.
But before leaving the city, he suddenly remembered something.
Or rather he remembered that he forgot about something.
He didn’t even know her name.
“What’s your name?”
When the girl heard this, she was caught off guard.
But then she also realized that she hadn’t even introduced herself or learned this person’s name before asking for his help.
So she quickly said, “My name is Lin Li Zi.”
