Chapter 418: The Boss Can’t Be Lin Yuan, Right?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The ones who needed the strange flames the most in the Radiance Federation were those lifestyle-class spirit qi professionals.
They verbally attacked the Purchase With No Loss store owner for acquiring mid-grade strange flames without restraint using the blind trade method.
This led to a price increase of mid-grade strange flames in the market, which seriously affected the daily consumption of lifestyle-class spirit qi professionals.
Their accusations made Lin Yuan a little aggrieved.
I’ve only acquired more than 200 mid-grade strange flames. How big an impact could it have? Why do these lifestyle-class spirit qi professionals hate me so much!?
What he didn’t know was that some factions and Creation Masters had privately hoarded a lot of mid-grade strange flames in order to make a deal with him in the future in exchange for the Flower Brocade Pearls.
Of course, some factions that didn’t need the Flower Brocade Pearls took advantage of this situation and wanted to acquire a large amount of mid-grade strange flames, which were not considered abundant in the market. Then, they would raise the price of the mid-grade strange flames to take the chance to make a big profit.
After looking at the time, Lin Yuan logged off Star Web and went downstairs to find Liu Jie. He had already told Hu Quan about the arrangements needed inside his private faction territory on Star Web during the time Hu Quan had been promoted to a Class 5 Spirit Craftsman. Hu Quan was also working overtime to make it according to Lin Yuan’s requests.
Lin Yuan knew that he would be busy immediately after his private faction on Star Web announced its function and started issuing Fate Letters.
When he established the space tunnel to the Divine Wood Federation after New Year’s, he would still have to attend to the development in the Divine Wood Federation. Naturally, he wouldn’t have the energy to manage these white-clothed followers.
Liu Jie was his retainer knight, so he was obviously the most suitable to control these white-clothed followers.
Lin Yuan had just come downstairs when he saw Liu Jie walking out of the training room.
When Liu Jie saw Lin Yuan, he immediately walked up excitedly and said, “Lin Yuan, the genetic model of the Bayonet Beetle inscribed by my Insect Queen has evolved. It should now be renamed as the Flesh-Mincing Blade Insect.”
After saying that, Liu Jie circulated his spiritual energy and summoned the half-palm-sized Insect Queen in front of Lin Yuan. When it was summoned out, it was just the same when it had been in imminent danger.
However, a small head suddenly popped out of this wriggling purple flesh cocoon. Upon seeing Liu Jie, this little thing revealed a surprised emotion on its face. A petite figure flew out of the purple flesh cocoon and hugged Liu Jie’s neck.
Lin Yuan didn’t know until now that the Insect Queen was actually a fairy source-type lifeform after it had recovered from imminent danger.
Fairy source-type lifeforms were those that were not animals, plants, or lifeforms. Most of them had a human-like appearance.
Liu Jie’s Insect Queen had been hugging Liu Jie’s neck since it came out. It looked especially shy and dependent on him, and Liu Jie lovingly rubbed the Insect Queen with his cheek.
At that moment, two words flashed in Lin Yuan’s mind—father-daughter love.
Liu Jie was not raising a source-type lifeform. He was simply raising a daughter!
Then, Liu Jie said to the petite Insect Queen, “Elegance, produce a Flesh-Mincing Blade Insect.”
Liu Jie’s fairy-like Insect Queen, Elegance, transformed into a purple stream of light and returned to the purple flesh cocoon. Then the purple flesh cocoon landed on the ground and immediately turned into an insect base.
Its body size swelled three meters outward, and many sac-like ducts unique to insect-species fey were inserted into the body.
The moment the Insect Queen transformed, a beetle with a protruding shell and eight long, sharp legs was produced by this huge insect base and appeared in front of Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan was quite surprised after carefully examining the Flesh-Mincing Beetle produced by Liu Jie’s Insect Queen.
This source-type lifeform, the Cocoon of Evolution, was actually so powerful!
It had allowed an insect-species fey with a relatively simple genetic model to be so greatly strengthened.
The Bayonet Beetle’s attack method was to use the sharp horns on its head to make stabbing attacks and use its eight legs for assisted attacks. On the other hand, the Flesh-Mincing Beetle, which the Bayonet Beetle had turned into after being enhanced by the Cocoon of Evolution, had weakened horns.
Although its head was weakened, its body’s protruding armor was sharp on every side and played the same role as its horns.
While moving rapidly, the eight sharp bone-scraping-like legs could quickly cut the skin of feys and churn the flesh into mush.
Although the Flesh-Mincing Blade Insect and Bayonet Beetle’s sattack method hadn’t changed, a Flesh-Mincing Blade Insect could completely single out three Bayonet Beetles of the same size.
Such a change was the process of Liu Jie’s sea of insects having a qualitative to quantitative change.
Coupled with the Insect Queen’s exclusive skills, Swarm Frenzy and Explosive Recycling, Liu Jie had increased his strength to another level just by having another ability.
Lin Yuan, who was very happy about Liu Jie’s strength increase, said with a smile, “Congratulations to Big Brother Liu on your new sea of insects.”
Lin Yuan could feel that the current Liu Jie was significantly more confident than before.
It was now the time to meet with those two king-class experts, so Lin Yuan said, “Big Brother Liu, let’s log onto Star Web together and meet at the entrance of a Star Web store called Purchase With No Loss.”
When Liu Jie heard Lin Yuan say that, he was a little confused. Was Lin Yuan asking him to buy something together?
Even if Liu Jie didn’t go onto forums, he had heard of the Purchase With No Loss Fey Store’s explosive popularity.
It was a premium store with a mysterious boss and only sold premium items.
Despite feeling doubtful, Liu Jie naturally wouldn’t refuse Lin Yuan’s request, so he replied with a nod, “Okay. I’ll go back to my room now and log on to Star Web.”
Hu Quan had recently stopped staying up late, so he used the daytime to make various objects.
When he saw Lin Yuan going to do something on Star Web with Liu Jie, he said, “Wear the masks I made for the two of you before going out. Boys should protect themselves outside.”
When Lin Yuan heard Hu Quan’s words, he felt that Uncle Hu was a little strange, as if he had a hidden, unknown story behind him.
Why did boys have to protect themselves?
Wasn’t it always the girls who had to protect themselves?
When Liu Jie heard Hu Quan mention that strange yet light mask, he couldn’t help but say, “Uncle Hu, aren’t we wearing the mask you made only when we go out on behalf of the faction? Wouldn’t it look strange to wear it for shopping at the Star Web store?”
Before Hu Quan could reply, Lin Yuan smiled brightly at Liu Jie and revealed his small white teeth before saying, “Big Brother Liu, we really have to wear them this time.”
Liu Jie suddenly became solemn upon learning that Lin Yuan wanted him to go to Star Web to do something related to the private faction.
All of a sudden, Liu Jie recalled the rumors on Star Web, saying that the owner of the Purchase With No Loss store was a young man who was not very old.
Liu Jie couldn’t help but have some doubts. This person wouldn’t be Lin Yuan, right?
