77: Chapter 77 The Origin of a King-Level Creature!

However, there were far too many people here.

Lin Mo frowned slightly.

So many people.

Just a casual glance was enough to see that several people inside were fellow candidates from the same year in the examination hall.

"It's Lin Mo, the national top scorer!"

"So that's Lin Mo? He actually feels quite handsome!"

"Hey, should we go up and add him on contact?"

Although everyone wasn't speaking very loudly, there were simply too many people in The Exchange hall at this moment.

Pairs of eyes were cast in his direction.

Even the busy staff at The Exchange noticed the situation.

A man who looked to be about 30 years old and dressed in a suit walked toward Lin Mo.

"Mr. Lin, hello."

"Congratulations on becoming the national top scorer."

He confidently extended his hand to Lin Mo, "I am General Manager Wang Tao of this branch of The Exchange. Please come with me; I will handle your business personally, so there is no need to wait in line."

At the same time, having received news from a colleague, Jiang Si rushed over, panting for breath.

But when she saw the General Manager standing in front of Lin Mo, Jiang Si's expression immediately turned unpleasant.

Lin Mo swept his gaze over Jiang Si and the General Manager.

He instantly understood the situation.

It was nothing more than seeing that he had become the national top scorer, so he wanted to take him over from Jiang Si to claim the performance credit.

"No need."

"Let her serve me instead; I prefer someone familiar."

The General Manager retracted his hand with some embarrassment.

He had no choice but to let Jiang Si take Lin Mo to a separate room to conduct the transaction.

As soon as they entered the room, Jiang Si bowed to Lin Mo and said earnestly, "Thank you."

Lin Mo waved his hand, "No need to be polite. I never liked people who try to steal the fruits of others' labor halfway through, and besides..."

Lin Mo joked, "Compared to having a man serve me, I naturally prefer a great beauty like you."

Upon hearing this, a blush appeared on Jiang Si's face.

There isn't a single woman who doesn't like compliments.

Especially when the person praising her is a genius who has now become the national top scorer.

The look in Jiang Si's eyes toward Lin Mo became much softer.

"Then, Mr. Lin, how can I help you today?"

Lin Mo took out everything he had gained in the examination hall.

134 small crystal cores were piled up in front of Jiang Si.

Jiang Si only took one glance before her eyes widened.

From last night to this morning, she had received many adventurers, so she naturally recognized these as crystal cores of the Bloodthirsty Fallen Crocodile at a glance.

It's just that, for those adventurers, having seven or eight crystal cores in their hands was already remarkable.

She didn't expect Lin Mo to have so many in his hands.

Fortunately, Jiang Si was a professional. She quickly gathered her wits and spoke to Lin Mo more respectfully.

"Mr. Lin, this type of crystal core from a Bloodthirsty Fallen Crocodile is relatively rare on the market."

"Its size is small, and the energy contained within is more refined. It is very suitable for crafting equipment. Therefore, its value is much higher than crystal cores of the same rank."

"One can sell for 100,000."

"That is to say, this totals 13.4 million."

Lin Mo nodded. This price was actually much higher than he had imagined.

"There are also these; help me take a look at them as well."

As he spoke, Lin Mo took out the corpse of the Humanoid Giant Crocodile clone.

This guy was too strange; he couldn't even view its attributes. Since he wasn't sure about the value of the materials on its body, Lin Mo simply brought the entire corpse along.

Looking at the corpse of the Humanoid Giant Crocodile, Jiang Si couldn't help but shiver.

Although she clearly knew that this guy was already dead, being so close to it still made one feel terrified, which was enough to show just how terrifying this guy was.

Especially those bright yellow eyes, which made Jiang Si's scalp tingle.

Jiang Si subconsciously leaned closer to Lin Mo.

Her whole body was almost embedded into Lin Mo's arms.

In this situation, the two of them inevitably had some physical contact.

Lin Mo could even feel the sensation of Jiang Si's tight-fitting short skirt brushing against his legs.

As well as the unique texture of her stockings.

Jiang Si did not notice anything unusual; she only felt that this brought her a great sense of security.

After a few seconds.

Jiang Si finally adapted.

She showed a slightly embarrassed expression to Lin Mo, and then went forward to check the value of the Humanoid Giant Crocodile corpse.

As the official exchange of the Huaxia Empire, they had their own means of evaluation.

In the past, if Lin Mo took out something that Jiang Si had never seen before, she only needed to scan it with the tablet in her hand to get the corresponding price.

But this time, after scanning, Jiang Si made a somewhat surprised sound.

"Huh..."

"This is... a previously unseen unknown material? The grade has already reached Tier 2?"

Jiang Si's expression was somewhat moved.

This was the first time she had encountered such a situation.

"Mr. Lin, please wait a moment; I will upload the data for evaluation for you."

Jiang Si had no choice but to upload the data of the Humanoid Giant Crocodile corpse.

After a few minutes, Jiang Si spoke to Lin Mo.

"Mr. Lin, our exchange conservatively estimates the value of this item at 5 million, but that is on the condition that it includes the crystal core."

"You can choose to sell it directly to our exchange, or we can consign it for auction on your behalf."

Lin Mo frowned slightly.

He felt that this price was a bit low.

This thing was a clone of a King-level Creature. Even if it only had the strength of Tier 1 Stage 9, it shouldn't be worth only 5 million including the crystal core, right?

You have to know, at the time, he couldn't even see the attributes of this guy.

"However..." Just at this moment, Jiang Si continued, "I also contacted Blacksmith Master Jiang Nian. She said... this is a clone of a King-level Creature."

"It contains a trace of the essence of a King-level Creature, and its intrinsic value is extremely high."

"It is especially suitable for crafting weapons. She proposed that she wants to use this material to craft a weapon for you."

"Of course, that is on the condition that you are willing."

Lin Mo subconsciously glanced at the steel blade in his hand.

He had to admit.

Given his current strength, this Tier 0 steel blade, which was considered top-quality, was actually no longer enough.

The only reason he hadn't replaced it was simply because he was used to using it.

"Did Blacksmith Master Jiang Nian say what kind of weapon to craft? And the state of the final product?"

Jiang Si said without hesitation, "The weapon type can be customized according to your requirements, and as for the final product... Tier 2!"

"And it will be at least a top-quality item on the same level as the soul-eroding thousand-silk armor."

"Then what about the price? Blacksmith Master Jiang Nian has already reached Tier 8; the amount for her services..."

Jiang Si waved the chat history with Blacksmith Master Jiang Nian in front of Lin Mo.

"Because of the existence of the King-level Creature's essence, Blacksmith Master Jiang Nian is very interested in this material, so..."

She smiled sweetly, "I can fight for it for you; free of charge."

Lin Mo's eyes lit up instantly.

A Tier 8 master blacksmith crafting equipment for free?

This is way too good!

But...

Isn't Blacksmith Master Jiang Nian, Jiang Si's younger sister?

Why isn't she helping her own sister gain profits, but instead helping him?
