Chapter 102: Mobilization
After hearing Shi Lin's words, Flanders nodded in satisfaction. This was the youthful vigor that was unique to young people.
After observing for several months, Flanders discovered that Shi Lin was showing signs of becoming the leader of the children.
Ma Hongjun and Oscar were completely convinced by Shi Lin's words and trusted him implicitly.
Flanders didn't care at all about his apprentice becoming someone else's lackey; after all, Flanders knew what kind of person his apprentice was.
He is arrogant and domineering, but lacks a special kind of cleverness. Having someone keep an eye on him can reduce the danger for Ma Hongjun by 50%. Otherwise, given Ma Hongjun's temper, he will either run away because he offended someone, or he will be sent back with his legs broken.
Shi Lin had already begun to plan what he should do next.
This task is indeed challenging and requires some social experience to complete successfully.
The most difficult part was obtaining the Soul Hunting Token and gathering various intelligence, since Shi Lin had never dealt with these things before.
"I obey!" Shi Lin stood up and respectfully said to Flanders.
"Tell me what kind of support you need, and I can give you some help. But after today, I will not give you any help." Shi Zhen smiled slightly at Shi Lin and then nodded.
Shi Zhen also felt that the task was too difficult, so he proposed an opportunity for off-site assistance.
"Hmm... no need, it's more fun if you don't want anything. Don't worry, Dad, I'll definitely arrange a top-notch soul ring for you." Shi Lin patted his chest and said to Shi Zhen with his head held high.
"This…" After hearing Shi Lin's words, Shi Zhen looked at Flanders.
After hearing Shi Lin's words, Flanders gave a faint smile and nodded to Shi Zhen.
"Young people should have the drive and ambition of youth." Flanders looked at Shi Lin with satisfaction, nodded, and said appreciatively.
"Alright then." Shi Zhen nodded after hearing Flanders's words, and then felt relieved.
"So that Father can absorb the soul ring as soon as possible, I'll go and prepare now." Shi Lin smiled, then turned and left Shi Zhen's study.
Flanders and Shi Zhen watched Shi Lin and Shi An leave.
"It seems your son is quite confident. This kid is good; he has talent, hard work, and good character. He's bound to become a Title Douluo in the future." After watching Shi Lin leave with Shi An, Flanders picked up his teacup, took a sip, closed his eyes in enjoyment, and then smiled at Shi Zhen.
Flanders did not lie because of Shi Zhen's good food and drink; Shi Lin's current talent and temperament already met the requirements to become a strong person.
"Dean Flanders is too kind. My son still has a lot to learn from Dean Flanders." Shi Zhen's mouth was practically stretched to his ears.
After all, a father would really enjoy it if his son was praised in front of him.
"Master, is it alright if we don't give the young master some support?" Fu Gui looked at Shi Zhen with some concern and then asked.
"Kids, let them cause trouble if they want. Keep an eye on the news from Tiandou City. If Xiao Lin and the others can't handle it, we'll just go to the Tiandou City black market and buy a Soul Hunting Certificate." Shi Zhen picked up his teacup, pondered for a moment, and then said to Fu Gui.
"Yes, sir," Fu Gui nodded in response.
Flanders smiled and nodded.
"Mr. Shi, Xiao Lin's talent is indeed extraordinary, so he needs to broaden his horizons. Only in this way can he grow faster and have a better future," Flanders said with a smile. At this moment, Flanders was increasingly satisfied with Shi Lin.
...
After leaving Shi Zhen's study, Shi Lin frowned. Suddenly, he remembered that Shi An probably knew where to buy the Soul Hunting Token, so he stopped in his tracks.
"Brother An, where did you buy the Soul Hunting Certificates before?" Shi Lin turned around and asked Shi An.
"They were mostly bought from the black market in Tiandou City. They have everything there, and supposedly even soul bones," Shi An said to Shi Lin, scratching his head.
"Hmm... Looks like I'll have to go to Tiandou City. That's a big city." Shi Lin stroked his chin and made a decision.
Ever since running away from home last time, Shi Lin has fallen in love with this feeling of freedom, so he really longs to travel far away.
"Come on, Brother An, let's go find Ma Hongjun and Oscar. We'll take them with us this time." Shi Lin waved to Shi An and said.
Shi An nodded, then followed Shi Lin toward the restaurant.
At this time, Ma Hongjun and Oscar should be eating in the cafeteria.
When they arrived at the cafeteria, Ma Hongjun and Oscar were indeed having lunch.
"Old Ma, Oscar, I have some breaking news. Do you two want to hear it?" Shi Lin shrugged and said to the two of them.
Ma Hongjun looked up at Shi Lin, his eyes filled with clear confusion.
"Brother Lin, what's the matter?" Oscar asked Shi Lin with great curiosity.
"My dad's soul power level broke through to level ten today. Dean Flanders was with my dad just now, and he assigned this task to the four of us. From finding information about soul beasts to buying soul hunting tokens, and finally hunting down the soul beasts, everything is our responsibility." Shi Lin shrugged, then picked up a chicken leg and started eating it.
Ma Hongjun and Oscar were both stunned!
They had never considered such a complicated issue. The spirit rings they absorbed were all personally selected by Flanders, who then led them to hunt spirit beasts.
"Soul Hunting Tokens can usually only be bought in Heaven Dou City, so I'm planning to go there. Do you two want to come?" Shi Lin said with a smile.
"Go!"
Ma Hongjun and Oscar said in unison.
The two of them also wanted to go out and have some fun.
"But Brother Lin, among the four of us, Brother An has the highest soul power level, which is only level 24 now. What should we do if we encounter bandits?" Oscar was thinking ahead, so he asked Shi Lin.
"Don't worry, there are plenty of ways. After all, there aren't many Soul Masters who have become outlaws. As long as we plan ahead and try to take the official route, there shouldn't be any problems," Shi Lin said to Ma Hongjun and Oscar after thinking for a moment.
"Alright, then there's nothing to worry about. Brother Lin, when are we leaving?" Ma Hongjun asked Shi Lin excitedly.
"It'll be in the next couple of days, so I need to make some preparations in advance," Shi Lin muttered, stroking his chin.
Shi Lin can quickly earn a large amount of gold soul coins using the Gu worms in his hands, so purchasing a Soul Hunting Token shouldn't be a problem.
As for intelligence, Shi Lin can just go to Tiandou City to inquire. As long as you have money, you can do most things. As for those things you can't do, it's just that you don't have enough money.
